Chapter 77 Bloodline Immortal Gate
Chapter 77 Bloodline Immortal Gate
Are we going to die?
"These things are impossible to kill!"
The low-level cultivators sent by the Immortal Realm were all filled with despair at this moment.
"Brother Liu, let's run! They don't treat us like human beings at all!"
Someone gritted their teeth and spoke angrily to Liu Ziwen.
But Liu Ziwen resolutely shook his head and said, "We can't leave!"
"If we leave, His Majesty will be questioned within the Sword Sect... Absolutely not!"
He glanced back at the woman in red, his eyes filled with suppressed anger and hatred.
-- Feng Moping, Gu Songling, and others fulfilled their promise to Li Lan and brought them into the Immortal Realm, but they were not accepted.
All factions in the celestial realm reached a consensus regarding these "refugees": to prevent any demonic spies from being among them, they should all be exterminated.
For cultivators in the immortal realm, their lives are truly less valuable than a blade of grass by the roadside!
The joint resistance from numerous geniuses in the Abyss Realm, including those from the Bitter Jue and the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, was ignored.
In the end, it was Li Yue who stood in front of everyone from the Immortal Realm and declared that if the people of the Abyss Realm were to die, she would perish with them!
Her True Dragon Technique alarmed the Sword Sect's higher-ups, and with Feng Moping's mediation, a compromise was finally reached: those with talent in the Abyss Realm would cultivate in the borderlands and serve in the border army, while the others would be sent to the Sin Prefecture!
Liu Ziwen and the others have been in the Immortal Realm for four years.
He had followed Li Yue and witnessed firsthand how Li Yue rose from a disgraced prince to the emperor. He himself had also experienced countless trials and tribulations. Although his cultivation was weak, his control over people's hearts was far superior to that of ordinary people. Therefore, he could see that the reason why the woman in red was driving them to their deaths was to deliberately force them to escape!
The woman in red was really targeting Li Yue!
Li Yue's cultivation has improved significantly over the years, and he has become increasingly valued within the Sword Sect.
If they desert their posts, then Le Viet, who stood up to protect them, will also be implicated!
"We are ready to die, but we will never betray His Majesty!"
Liu Ziwen roared, “Gentlemen, in the past, the Imperial Preceptor sacrificed himself to save us. Although we cannot save the common people like the Imperial Preceptor, today, we can only follow the Imperial Preceptor’s example and die for him!”
"kill!"
He shouted this, and a group of low-level cultivators also roared, charging forward fearlessly!
"puff!"
"Crack!"
"when!"
Blood spurted, bones broke... one low-level cultivator after another fell. Liu Ziwen was also exhausted. His sword was knocked away by a skeleton, whose pale bony hand was already stabbing towards his neck.
Liu Ziwen closed his eyes.
"Farewell, Your Majesty, I am going to see the Imperial Preceptor."
He whispered.
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled thud was heard. He had not been killed. Liu Ziwen opened his eyes and saw that another person had appeared in front of him and knocked the skeleton away.
"Tang Jian?"
Liu Ziwen was taken aback.
Tang Jian had also been an official of the Great Li Kingdom and was an old acquaintance of his, but the other's cultivation level was lower, only at the fifth level of Qi Refining...
Tang Jian was also injured, yet he displayed formidable cultivation at this moment!
That aura... it was actually Foundation Establishment level!
He ignored Liu Ziwen and continued his attack, unleashing a fire spell with unparalleled skill, creating walls of fire that kept the alien corpses at bay.
"When did Tang Jian successfully complete his foundation building?"
"This is...too powerful!"
"Great!"
Everyone was overjoyed!
Although a Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot directly defeat this legion of alien corpses, it will certainly not be a problem for him to hold out until Li Yue returns to the city.
The women in red behind them were all taken aback.
"Among these lowly people, are there any who can achieve Foundation Establishment?"
She frowned slightly.
Liu Ziwen and the others' aptitude could only be described as average, and the cultivation resources they received were also the worst—the lowest-level cultivation techniques, the fewest spiritual herbs, and so on…
Could it be that another genius has been born among these ants in the Abyss Realm?
"Attack! Attack immediately!"
She spoke coldly, intending to force Tang Jian to his death.
But Tang Jian remained completely calm at this moment, saying, "Brothers, we will defend this place!"
They did not launch an attack.
Because Li Lan originally came from the direction of the Abyss Realm, he knew very well just how many terrifying beings were hidden in the black mist ahead.
If it weren't for the cat's help, Li Lan probably wouldn't have survived. With only so many people, they could manage to resist the alien corpses, but if they got too close to the depths of the black mist and provoked those things, everyone would die!
"it is good!"
"Hold on!"
The morale of the many cultivators in the Abyss Realm who had been in despair was suddenly boosted!
"Waaaaah--"
Just then, the sound of horns rang out from the city wall.
"Withdraw the troops and return to the city!"
Liu Ziwen was overjoyed.
Even the woman in red could only give up in resentment at this moment. However, when Li Lan walked in front of her, she lashed out with a whip.
"Did you go deaf when I ordered you to attack?"
Li Lan slightly turned his body and dodged the attack. His eyes were cold as he glanced at the woman in red and said, "We attacked, but our strength is limited, and we can't break through."
"Nonsense!"
The woman in red angrily cursed.
Li Lan clearly didn't want to fight.
But the old servant beside her had already pulled her back, saying, "We have to hurry to the council hall; Li Yue and the others should be back..."
The woman in red then gave Li Lan a cold look. "Tang Jian, is it? I'll remember you. You just wait!"
……
After crossing the Great Wall with Liu Ziwen and the others, Li Lan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
--During the battle, taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, he used the cat as cover to strip Tang Jian of his clothes, transform into Tang Jian's appearance, and blend into the crowd.
After the True Dragon Technique reached the Foundation Establishment stage, all the bones and flesh in his body seemed to come alive, and teleportation was not difficult for him.
With the cat masking his scent, even the woman in red didn't notice anything unusual.
At that moment, the cat hid inside one of his storage rings.
In the camp, everyone was resting. Many people came over to congratulate and thank Li Lan.
Many of the faces were familiar to Li Lan.
"Brother Tang, you have revealed your cultivation level today, which will put you in danger in the future. Those people may target you."
Liu Ziwen said, "I'll go see Her Majesty later and see if she can let you join the Sword Sect. You have talent, it would be such a pity if you died fighting alongside us."
Li Lan started chatting with him.
Through the conversation, Li Lan learned that the living conditions of people from the Abyss Realm in the Immortal Realm are... extremely cruel!
The forces behind Feng Moping, Gu Songling, and others have only absorbed geniuses like Li Yue, the Sun and Moon Twin Swords, and Ku Jue. Ordinary people live extremely difficult lives.
Those who are slightly better off, like Liu Ziwen, can only cultivate here with minimal resources. Even if they succeed, they will become cannon fodder and will probably all die within a few years.
Those who were less capable were all exiled to the "Sinful Provinces" and left to fend for themselves.
"The State of Sin..."
"Yes, in the Sinful State where the Ten Thousand Yuan Mountains are located, everyone there is born with original sin. From the moment they are born, they can only become slaves of various powers, such as mine slaves, medicine slaves, etc., which is even worse!"
Liu Ziwen sighed.
Upon hearing this, Li Lan's heart sank!
Mingzun once said that when they went on their expedition, some of the saints did not trust the Supreme Immortal Venerable in the rear, so they sent their families to the Ten Thousand Mountain Range for protection!
But now... how could the area where the Wanyuan Mountains are located have become a province of sin!?
Are those who are born destined to be slaves all descendants of ancient saints?
……
Border Council Room.
"What? Not only did you fail to select qualified criminals, you also released them all?!"
In the council chamber, a man in a wide-sleeved robe suddenly stood up, his anger palpable!
He is Zhan Changfeng, the commander of the border army and the Great General who suppresses demons!
On both sides of the council hall stood powerful figures from various factions.
In the center, Li Yue, dressed in a bright yellow dress, stood calmly. Facing Zhan Changfeng's questioning, she said with a composed expression, "The people of the Sinful State are all unarmed. From birth, they have been mining and gathering herbs for various forces. Even if they are guilty, they have been slaves for generations, and it is time to pay their debts."
"Li Yue is willing to accept punishment."
she said.
Many people shook their heads in disbelief. Was it worth offending the leader and even being punished for the sake of those criminals?
"Fine, since that's the case, then all your merits will be confined for three years!"
Zhan Changfeng spoke coldly.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Over the years, Le Viet has worked diligently at the border and has made outstanding contributions among the younger generation. Now, he has lost everything because of this incident and will be imprisoned for three years... The loss is too great!
"it is good."
But Li Yue remained calm and said, "Li Yue will now proceed to the Imprisonment Platform."
"Wait a minute,"
At this moment, the woman in red suddenly spoke up, smiling as she said, "Reporting to the commander, during today's clearing operation, the Abyss Army disobeyed orders and failed to eliminate all the alien corpses. They should also be punished!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yue abruptly turned around, looked at the woman in red, and his face revealed the domineering aura of the Great Li Emperor. He coldly said, "Qin Hongyun, what do you mean by this?!"
"There are no Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Abyss Realm Army, and they are not allowed to send troops out alone. This is military regulation!"
She had never flinched when stripped of her military merits or imprisoned, but now, there was genuine anger in her eyes.
The Abyss Army is weak; sending them out is practically suicide.
Qin Hongyun said, "No, they already have a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Tang Jian."
A cold smile played on her lips.
Zhan Changfeng glanced at Qin Hongyun indifferently and said calmly, "We'll discuss this matter later."
As the leader of the allied forces, what kind of person is he? Of course, he would not become a tool for the internal strife within the Sword Sect.
Qin Hongyun and Li Yue are both geniuses of the Sword Sect. The two are at odds. Taking advantage of Li Yue's absence, Qin Hongyun forced the Yuanjie Army to send troops. It is difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong.
He couldn't be bothered to get involved in this matter for the sake of those scumbags from the Abyss Army.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyun frowned slightly, but coldly said to Li Yue, "Li Yue, you can go to the seclusion... Don't worry, I will take good care of the Yuanjie Army for you during these three years!"
This is... a blatant threat.
The Yuanjie Army is definitely something Li Yue can't let go of!
Sure enough, a flash of anger crossed Li Yue's face. She suddenly turned around, scanned the room, and said, "General Zhan, before you are imprisoned, there is one more thing I need to do."
Zhan Changfeng asked, "What is it?"
Li Yue said, "I want to break through the bloodline barrier and establish a clan for the people of the Abyss Realm!"
These words shocked everyone present!
"What? She's going to break through the bloodline barrier?"
"Have they gone mad? Even if she's a genius, she's only at the True Core stage now, far from reaching the level of bloodline transformation!"
"She wants to give the people of the Abyss Realm a legitimate place in the Immortal Realm. As long as their bloodline is strong enough and they pass the Bloodline Immortal Barrier, they can establish a clan in the Immortal Realm, possess the status of an Immortal Clan, and the people of the Immortal Clan can be granted fiefdoms, etc. The Abyss Realm army can also get rid of its cannon fodder status!"
Everyone started to speak!
Clearly, she was worried that within the next three years, the people of the Abyss Realm would be completely wiped out under Qin Hongyun's targeting!
In order to preserve the flame of civilization in the Abyss Realm... she was determined to break through this heavenly barrier!
If she succeeds, she will gain a foothold in the Abyss Realm; if she fails... she may suffer unimaginable backlash!
