Whistleblowers of the Human Race
The harbor was abuzz with excitement and heated discussion.
"Once an inheritor reaches the Ninth Heaven, they have entered a completely different realm. They are practically lawless, and their combat power is too strong. Without the intervention of Longevity Realm Giants, who can subdue them?" Hidden Eleven was extremely excited and full of expectations for the future.
After all, he was also an inheritor, possessing the God of Jiu Li's Combat Intent, but his realm was not high enough.
A junior member of the Chili Tribe felt bewildered and distressed. "Faced with such a young hero, our chieftain would probably have no choice but to flee in defeat."
"There's nothing we can do about it! The inheritors are strong in every aspect, including physical strength, magical artifacts, Dao techniques, and the quality of their magical energy. It's not easy for a martial artist at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Dao Seed Realm to contend with them."
"A martial artist at the peak of the Ninth Heaven may not necessarily be able to break through to immortality. But for the inheritors of the Ninth Heaven, breaking through to immortality is only a matter of time."
"Liu Fengshu is already incredibly powerful, but he still finds it somewhat difficult to fight against the inheritor of the Ninth Heaven."
"The gap between inheritors and non-inheritors is almost as insurmountable as the difference in the levels of life itself."
The martial arts practitioners of the Jiu Li Tribe were not discouraged; on the contrary, they were more confident and looked forward to the future than before.
Because the younger generation of the Jiu Li Tribe has produced several prodigies of the Inheritor-level, a surge of talent and vigor. In a few years, or ten years, they will grow to the level of Qiong Ji Daozi, Huo Xin, and Zhen Xin.
An unprecedented golden age is dawning!
On the rocks two hundred miles away from the mirage of Moon Dragon Island.
Tang Zhan, carrying two swords on his back, stood upright atop the reef, the patterns on his armor visible in the moonlight. He asked, "Who was that person who helped us escape? Such terrifying combat power! To be able to fight two people at once, blocking both Huo Xin and Zhen Xin."
Li Weiyi sat on a rock three zhang above the water, circulating his magical energy to heal the injuries on his arms. "I only know his surname is Liu, he's very mysterious."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "He's a pretty nice person!"
"They're here!" Tang Zhan said.
Liu Ye's young and upright figure glided across the water, appearing on the sea below the two in an instant. His gaze fell on Li Weiyi: "You're a few days late."
Li Weiyi had reverted to her original demeanor. "It's too far! Thank you for earlier, but what's your name?"
"Sentinel Spirit Army, Liu Ye," Liu Ye said.
Li Weiyi's eyes narrowed immediately, feeling unfamiliar with the three words "Sentinel Spirit Army".
I'm leaving now!
Tang Zhan sensed that the two had something to discuss, and it seemed to involve a very important secret. Not wanting to get involved, he prepared to return and report.
Liu Ye looked at him. "Tang Zhan, you don't need to leave."
Tang Zhan began circulating his internal energy. "How do you know my name?"
"Someone recommended you to the Hidden Person of Tangting who have been living for sixty years. You and Li Weiyi are the only two people in the Lingxiao Shengjing who can join the Sentinel Spirit Army without taking an exam. Of course, you two have to agree to it yourselves," Liu Ye said.
Li Weiyi's arms had fully healed, and he pondered, "Was it the Sentinel Spirit Army that wanted to save me?"
"It's the Sentinel Spirit Army that has taken a liking to you," Liu Ye said.
Tang Zhan remained wary. "Who recommended them to you? What exactly is the Sentinel Spirit Army?"
Standing on the sea, Liu Ye asked calmly, "What do you think is the greatest danger in the Lingxiao Shengjing?"
Tang Zhan said, "Western Demon Race."
Liu Ye said, "The Western Demon Race you mentioned, you mean the Far West Ash Region west of Lingxiao Shengjing, right? That's right, Flying Phoenix is indeed very strong, but it can't do whatever it wants."
"It dares to destroy human habitats without Martial Path Son of Heaven in charge, so naturally the human race will have Martial Path Son of Heaven to deal with it and seek justice."
"In the perilous environment where the Netherworld of the Departed shrouds the entire Yingzhou, every habitat needs protection. Even the Martial Path Son of Heaven of the human race cannot arbitrarily disturb the weak habitats of the Demon Race."
"Demon Race and humans compete and are enemies, but when facing the Netherworld, they need to join forces and cooperate."
Li Weiyi understood the hidden meaning. "You mean to say that the greatest danger in the Lingxiao Shengjing comes from the Netherworld of the Departed?"
Liu Ye nodded. "The greatest danger to all living realms, not just Lingxiao Shengjing, is the Netherworld of the Departed. The true uprising of the Departed Spirit Army of the dead is ten times, a hundred times more terrifying than what Lingxiao Shengjing has suffered this time. It can engulf an entire living realm overnight."
"The catastrophe that swept across the entire Yingzhou a thousand years ago is even more unimaginable."
"That's why some high-ranking members of the human race formed the Sentinel Spirit Army."
"What is a sentinel spirit?" Li Weiyi asked.
Liu Ye said, "Go deep into the Netherworld to gather intelligence. Monitor the movements of the departed spirits, issue early warnings, and sound the alarm for the human race. At the same time, monitor the Demon Race and the rice people, and sound the alarm immediately if there are any large-scale disturbances."
"A disaster whistleblower," Li Weiyi said.
Tang Zhan said, "The whistleblower human race, that's interesting."
Liu Ye said, "This matter is very dangerous, but someone has to do it. If no one does it, we will be completely unaware when the Departed Spirit Army in the Netherworld gathers on a large scale, and our reaction will be too slow. Sometimes, knowing a day earlier or a day later makes a world of difference."
"Since it's so dangerous, what are the benefits?" Tang Zhan asked.
Liu Ye said, "Those seeking promotion and wealth should go elsewhere; those who are greedy for life and afraid of death should not enter this door."
"What's the difference between that and being an idiot?" Tang Zhan asked.
Liu Ye said, "If a clan is left with only clever people who live for their own interests, and no one is willing to make sacrifices or shoulder responsibilities, then the clan is not far from extinction. There always needs to be some fools to go to the most dangerous and cruel places and stand guard silently."
"The reason you two don't need to take the test is because we've investigated your past deeds, understand what kind of people you are, and are very confident that you will join the Sentinel Spirit Army."
"Why do I feel like you're trying to blackmail me with a sense of justice?" Tang Zhan said.
Liu Ye said, "I'm at most the one who invited you. Whether you join or not is your business. If you're unwilling, even if I tie you up with ropes, it won't do you any good."
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "I only have one question: how can you prove that you are really a member of the Sentinel Spirit Army?"
"Come with me if you dare."
Liu Ye concealed her aura and headed towards Moon Dragon Island.
Tang Zhan transmitted his voice to Li Weiyi: "How much do you know about him?"
"I think he's a pretty good person, but he's too straightforward. Should we wait and see?" Li Weiyi said.
Tang Zhan was very bold. "Let's go."
The Sentinel Spirit Army has established outposts on Moon Dragon Island.
The three walked through a dense forest located on the north cliff.
Under the cover of night, this place is extremely dark and isolated from the outside world, as if one were stepping into another world.
Passing by a glowing lake, Li Weiyi saw that several Departed Spirit Soul Beasts, some resembling pythons and others peacocks, were chained to the lakeside. They all possessed powerful auras and were extremely yin in nature.
Liu Ye, who was walking at the front, said, "It was captured by Dongxu Sentinel Venerable, and he's going to be our mount."
"Is there any connection between this Dongxu Sentinel Venerable and the Dongxu Ghost City?" Tang Zhan asked.
Liu Ye said, "The Dongxu Sentinel Venerable is in charge of everything in the Dongxu Camp, and most importantly, he is in charge of monitoring the Cave Void Ghost City. Of course, that's something the Sentinel and the older generation of Sentinel Spirits do; we don't need to go into such a dangerous place."
"Why do I feel like I can enter the depths of the Netherworld from here?" The more Li Weiyi walked, the more eerie he felt. There were gusts of cold wind all around, and none of the heat of Moon Dragon Island.
Ahead, a dashing and handsome figure appeared on the road, dressed in a white robe adorned with clouds, looking young and not yet thirty, walking towards the outside.
He is Song Yulou, the head of the Song family of the West Sea Royal Mansion.
When their eyes met, both Li Weiyi and Song Yulou were taken aback.
Song Yulou looked thoughtful, but quickly regained his composure. "I knew the Sentinel Spirit Army wouldn't let you go; you're practically their ideal candidate."
Li Weiyi said, "So, Patriarch Song is a Sentinel of the Sentinel Spirit Army."
Song Yulou's eyebrows reached his temples, and few could match his beauty. He gently shook his head and sighed, "I was originally not qualified! But the curse within me could only be dispelled by the Sentinel Spirit Army, so they reluctantly accepted me."
"What curse?" Li Weiyi knew what a curse was.
The dead, cursed monsters, evil spirits, and ferocious insects are known as the four great evils threatening human survival.
In terms of danger level, cursed monsters rank second.
But the idea of a "cursed monster within the body" was something Li Weiyi couldn't understand.
The Cursed Monsters can only be encountered deep within the Ghost Realm, in certain forbidden areas; they are mysterious and dangerous.
Song Yulou, "The curse is planted inside the body, while the mental spell is outside. The curse and the spell combined can activate a curse that controls a person, the Six Thoughts Mind Curse."
Li Weiyi immediately thought of Yu'er.
The headquarters of the Rice Cult has clearly been destroyed, yet Yu Yaozi has not recovered. Could it be that she also has a cursed monster within her?
Tang Wanzhou was affected by the Mind Curse, but he recovered quickly.
Li Weiyi immediately pressed for details, asking what exactly the cursed monster was.
Song Yulou, "The cursed monster within me is a centipede attached to my soul. It's not a real insect, but rather a phantom, much like the attributes of a soul—invisible and intangible. The Sentinel Spirit Army, having dealt with the strange creatures of the Netherworld for many years, has ways to make it manifest and then obliterate it."
Song Yulou took his leave and returned to the sea market on Moon Dragon Island.
Liu Ye said, "County Princess Yun Chang of the Song family is an older generation of spirit sentinels. It was she who brought Song Yulou here for treatment."
"Brother Liu, we haven't joined the Sentinel Spirit Army yet, so please don't tell us so many secrets," Li Weiyi said.
Tang Zhan said, "I feel like we already know too much... I'm starting to understand, is the person who recommended me some old fellow from the Tang Ting Hidden Sect?"
Li Weiyi had the same question.
Joining the Sentinel Spirit Army means spending a lot of time in the Netherworld, so it's unlikely they'd be martial artists responsible for complex matters within the Living Realm.
The reason why he and Tang Zhan were being targeted was undoubtedly due to this.
They are all Hidden Person from Hidden Gate sects, disappearing from public view for years without anyone knowing.
County Princess Yun Chang is usually in seclusion for cultivation and rarely appears in public. It's highly likely that she wasn't in seclusion at all, but rather went to the depths of the secluded realm.
Outside the dense forest, an aged voice rang out. "You two should be happy to be recommended. This is an incredible stroke of luck; even someone like Song Yulou, who has reached the Longevity Realm, had to beg for it. What's wrong with you? Are you still complaining?"
Li Weiyi felt the voice sounded quite familiar.
