Two Grandmasters Are Waiting for Me Outside
The Secret Realm of Kings, a certain mountain forest.
"Monster, this monster!"
Fujioka Hitomi's voice was filled with fear.
She stomped her feet rapidly, afraid that the slightest hesitation would allow the killing god behind her to catch up.
"He killed nine people from the Federation in one go, without even considering the consequences?!"
Her mind went blank; most of her hostility towards Ye Li had already been exhausted during their previous encounter.
It turned out that after being healed by the Knight King, she also had a slight thought of revenge.
Seeing Ye Li's stance, he finally abandoned any thoughts of becoming enemies and couldn't help but shout out.
The other party can be described as a killing god of the world, a prodigy, while she is just a fake genius who is arrogant and domineering because she has a little talent.
This is terrifying! How on earth did Ye Li cultivate?!
Fujioka Hitomi's pretty face was filled with fear, and there was no fighting spirit in her eyes. She was wrapped in tattered clothes and desperately running away through the mountains and forests.
Meanwhile, Li Cangjian from Huaxia was also rushing to his destination just as desperately as she was.
His face was extremely pale at that moment, staring at the mountains and forests ahead with suspicion and uncertainty.
Minutes ago, a stunningly powerful Gale Force rose from the ground, and the familiar aura of youth soared into the sky.
However, things have now returned to calm.
It was obvious that Ye Li had just been fighting someone, and the enemy's forces were extremely large, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a commotion.
The question is, who is the enemy?
The two from the Golden Moon Country were already seriously injured, and even with the Knight King's [King's Holy Light], they were far from recovering to their peak condition.
The White Country borders Huaxia, so the probability of them directly taking action against the Huaxia Arbiter is extremely low.
Therefore, there is only one answer...
"Damn the Federation Temple!"
Li Cangjian's face suddenly contorted with rage as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
Silently, a monstrous Sword Qi rapidly brewed within the scabbard, the culmination of his thirty years of accumulated Sword Dao.
With his strength at the sixth level of the Martial Infant Realm, even the Martial Infant Realm Peak would have to temporarily retreat when he unleashed a single sword strike!
Nine Federation warriors besieged their own Arbiter...
Even knowing Ye Li's extraordinary strength, Li Cangjian was still extremely anxious.
Traveling at full speed in the Martial Infant Realm, he quickly arrived at the central area of the island.
Looking around, all that could be seen were ruins and devastation, with deep, bottomless ravines etched into the earth.
Blood, tinged with golden light, splattered everywhere; this was the blood of the Martial Infant Realm warrior...
What on earth happened?!
Li Cangjian hurriedly looked around, trying to find Ye Li's figure.
Surprisingly, the White-robed Youth who symbolized Huaxia's future was not hard to find; he soon spotted that familiar figure.
The next moment, Li Cangjian's expression froze on his face.
He saw a mountain wall that was almost collapsed, and the Baiyi figure standing in front of it was so upright that it stirred his heart.
That's the posture of a victor.
Before the White-robed Youth, Li Cangjian saw a deep pit that looked all too familiar—
When the opponent attacked the old protector of the Golden Moon Country earlier, he had punched out a similar deep crater.
However, the scale of this crater is even more terrifying.
"..."
Li Cangjian stared in astonishment at the scene before him, speechless for a long time. No one could remain calm in the face of such a sight.
Only now did he begin to make some guesses about what had just happened.
However, the conjecture was so shocking that he opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a single word.
The silence was broken only when Ye Li turned around and looked at him, his slightly casual voice breaking the silence:
"Have you finished comprehending the Golden Body Technique?"
Li Cangjian shook his head stiffly. His general had suddenly disappeared, and several auras were rising into the sky in the distance. He had no intention of comprehending the Golden Body Technique at all.
He dazedly loosened his grip on the sword hilt, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"General Ye, the nine warriors of the Federation..."
"Nine of them attacked me, and I had no choice but to kill them all."
The boy spoke casually and easily, as if stating a very simple fact.
"..."
Li Cangjian remained silent for a long time, then nodded in agreement. He couldn't think of anything to say to the young man before him.
After struggling to calm himself down, he asked in a trembling voice:
"General Ye, what is the strength of these nine people?"
The warriors sent by the Federation are bound to be strong; it's quite normal for three of them to be at the early stage of the Martial Infant Realm.
However, Ye Li's words quickly shattered his conjecture:
"One late-stage Martial Infant Realm, two mid-stage Martial Infant Realm, and six Divine Mansion Realm just to make up the numbers."
Upon hearing this, Li Cangjian was struck dumb, standing frozen in place. "..."
Now that things had come to this, he understood that the nine people from the Federation had come specifically for Ye Li.
But he never expected this.
To ambush a young martial artist who was only at the Peak Divine Mansion Realm according to intelligence, the Federation actually sent three Martial Infant Realm and six Divine Mansion Realm!
If it weren't for Ye Li's extraordinary strength, their future hope in the Huaxia Qingyi Bureau would probably be...
Li Cangjian felt a wave of fear wash over him.
What followed was an overwhelming surge of fury!
The Federation Temple's move is clearly aimed at declaring war on Huaxia!
The Federation and the Temple knew about this; they must have been mentally prepared for it long ago.
The nearly four-hundred-year-old Li Cangjian trembled all over at this moment, whether from lingering fear or anger, it was unclear.
He suddenly raised his head, wanting to say something to comfort the other person.
Having just experienced a major battle, the boy must have suffered tremendous physical and mental exhaustion.
However, the next moment, Ye Li's somewhat helpless sigh carried on the wind to his ears:
"Tell me, isn't this Federation looking down on people too much?"
"The Arbiter besieged our Huaxia couldn't even muster nine Martial Infant Realm."
Nine Martial Infant Realm...
Upon hearing this, Li Cangjian nearly choked with anger. How many Martial Infant Realm warriors were there in the Federal Nation?!
He could even sense the unspoken meaning in the boy's words—
Not satisfied with killing three, he wanted to kill nine Martial Infants in one go!
They really treat Martial Infant Realm like common cabbages!
Li Cangjian was deeply moved, and for a moment he had many things he wanted to say.
In the end, however, he swallowed it all back, managing only to squeeze out a dry, echoing sound:
"Really."
From a certain perspective, it's true that three Martial Infant Realm were a bit too few to be the Arbiter of Huaxia Qingyi Bureau.
But he was Martial Dao Grandmaster!
You're only at the Martial Infant Realm, yet you've already achieved such a feat. It's enough to shake the Federation when you go out, and you still think it's not enough?!
He roared inwardly.
Ye Li didn't notice his expression of existential doubt.
After a casual nod, he pushed off with his feet and sped off toward the towering figure on the distant horizon.
Li Cangjian took several deep breaths on the spot, and after barely calming his emotions, he quickly followed.
Ye Li seemed to be waiting for him, and did not move too fast. Soon the two walked side by side.
Just as Li Cangjian was about to say something to ease the tension, Ye Li spoke first:
"Oh, right, there are two Martial Dao Grandmaster from the Federation waiting for me outside the Secret Realm."
As he spoke, the young man remained calm, and said in a tone that carried a hint of admonition:
"I'm definitely going to fight them when I go out. You're not allowed to worry about me then. First, find a chance to escape Huaxia."
"..."
Li Cangjian slowly widened his eyes, looking at the other party with an expression of utter shock.
That look seemed to ask, "Two Grandmasters?!"
Ye Li nodded casually in response:
"Yes, two Grandmasters."
