Liu Ji wore a blue robe and had an ordinary-looking face. He blended in among the Rogue Cultivators along the riverbank.
"Tut, tut... How foolish is the Demonic Evil Army... Even counting the Void Realm experts, they have only three, yet they actually dared challenge the Imperial Court?"
An old cultivator was full of confidence as he lectured on the state of the world. "The Imperial Court has always revered the Daoist schools. Zhang Jiao of the Way of Great Peace and Zhang Daoling of the Way of the Five Pecks of Rice are both renowned Daoist masters. Add the two Imperial ancestors, and that makes four Void Realm experts! The difference in combat power between Void Realm experts isn't great, so having one more or one fewer is a tremendous disadvantage..."
Seeing how excited he was, one might have thought he himself was the commander of the Demonic Evil Army.
But judging by his cultivation, Liu Ji saw that he had only reached Foundation Establishment...
He shook his head and smiled. "You can't calculate it that way. After all, the Sky-Mixing Ape Demon's magic power is formidable. He once destroyed the Southern Heaven Sword Saint Liu Quan outright... If he can kill another Void Realm expert by himself in this arranged battle, wouldn't that make up for the disadvantage, or even give them the upper hand?"
"Alas... Young man, you really don't understand. I'm simply angry that they have failed to live up to their potential... With the Demonic Evil Army's strength, if they had acted stealthily and assassinated another Void Realm expert of the Imperial Court, the outcome would have been decided!"
He spoke with such spraying enthusiasm that he seemed to have everything planned out and victory secured a thousand miles away. Whichever side—the Imperial Court or
