It's over!
The moment I felt the tremor of the Seal of Judgment.
Yang Qingshan's heart sank; he had a premonition that Xiao Cheng's group had also been intercepted.
Of the four Beast Venerable outside Shanhai Pass, only he and Xiao Cheng, both Grandmasters, posed a threat. Their chances of leaving safely were far too slim!
The other grandmasters are located even further from the border, making their chances of successfully reaching the Federation even slimmer.
Damn it! Damn it!
If Huaxia could have one more Grandmaster...
Yang Qingshan's face turned ashen, and he began to back away.
Within Huaxia territory, the Martial Dao Grandmaster closest to the Federation are currently him and Xiao Cheng.
If both of them are stopped, it means that no grandmaster-level expert can go to the Federation to carry out a rescue...
Yang Qingshan gritted his teeth, gazing at the two fierce tiger Beast Venerable on the distant horizon who were not pursuing him but merely watching the show with their arms crossed.
A surge of overwhelming resentment welled up from the depths of his heart.
The young man was an unprecedented hero in Huaxia, yet he was surrounded and killed in a foreign land because of his lack of caution!
And he, a dignified Martial Dao Grandmaster, was completely restricted from moving around in his own Shanhai Pass!
"Ye Li..."
General Huaxia clenched his fists, feeling an overwhelming sense of grief and indignation with nowhere to vent it.
After the other party went to the Federation, he learned from the post-war report that the other party had most likely successfully broken through to the Martial Infant Realm.
Overjoyed, he secretly prepared top-quality Treasure Medicine and top-notch martial arts techniques for him.
He even wrote down all his insights into the Martial Infant Realm and his understanding of the Dao Observation Realm over the years.
It will be handed over to Ye Li after we meet.
But now...
It's gone, it's gone!
With the boy's talent, it's probably only a matter of time before he breaks through to the same level of mastery as Pillar of the Nation.
In the next millennium, Huaxia will surely be able to return to its peak under the brilliance of its opponent.
Even better...
However, just as their dream was about to be realized and their humiliation was about to be washed away, they saw their dream come true.
But then they suddenly received devastating news that the enemy had been ambushed and killed in the Federation...
Yang Qingshan gripped his long black iron spear and returned to the front of the Shanhai Pass General Bureau.
He has made up his mind.
In any case, this time the Federation must pay a bloody price.
Even if it meant asking the reclusive [Pillar of the Nation] to take action, we would spare no effort!
Just then, the tremors of the Seal of Judgment slowly subsided.
Immediately afterwards.
A slightly puzzled, youthful voice, like heavenly music, suddenly emanated from the large seal at Yang Qingshan's waist:
"General, I've asked you to have a private meeting, why do you keep refusing?"
Yang Qingshan was taken aback at first.
Then, his breathing became visibly rapid. "Ye Li?!"
He could have continued to endure the current situation until his death.
The premise is that he had never witnessed the boy's talent.
Yang Qingshan suddenly grabbed the seal in his palm, focused his mind, and asked with extreme excitement, "Where are you now?!"
"Just Huaxia airspace, on their way to Lie Ding Province."
The boy's voice sounded casual, yet it gave him a lingering sense of relief, like someone who had just survived a calamity.
The greatest ups and downs in life are the loss and regain of something you cherish.
"..."
Yang Qingshan suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him, and his mind became hazy.
He was almost in despair.
Even though Ye Li had broken through to the sixth-tier Martial Infant level when he was besieging Muchun Hall in Yushan a few days ago, he had almost no chance of escaping the combined attack of two Federation Kings.
To my complete surprise, Ye Li actually escaped and came back!
In an instant, a thousand words surged into the mind of this Hanxia Gun God, but in the end, they only transformed into a slightly hoarse voice:
"Good thing you're back..."
After saying this, Yang Qingshan wanted to say something more comforting, but then he suddenly realized something.
"Lie Ding Province?"
He frowned slightly, and relevant information immediately came to mind.
Lie Ding Province is located in the northwest of Huaxia, and its local economy is quite developed.
Located within its borders is the Heavenly Sun Sect, one of the "Six Sects," where Martial Dao arts flourish.
Speaking of which, the Heavenly Sun Sect has many experts and a very rich foundation...
But Ye Li had just returned from the Federation.
If you want to heal your injuries, it would be much better to come to the Shanhai Pass General Bureau or to find the [Life-Sustaining Azure Tree] on Jade Mountain in Hanhai Province than to use the Blazing Sun Stone, which is abundant in Lie Ding Province.
Thinking of this, Yang Qingshan calmed his turbulent emotions and asked in as calm a tone as possible:
"You just escaped danger, what are you doing there?"
"Confiscation of property."
Ye Li's tone was quite calm. "Isn't the Heavenly Sun Sect there?"
"... There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Yang Qingshan was slightly taken aback, thinking that Ye Li felt a sense of urgency because of this incident, so he carefully said:
"The Heavenly Sun Sect's collusion with the Beast God Secret Realm and their repeated leaks of Qingxia Pass's intelligence are indeed worthy of their extermination and confiscation of all property."
"But that's in the past. Your cultivation is more important now."
"Taking advantage of my free time these past few days, I've compiled some Martial Dao resources that might be suitable for you."
As he spoke, Yang Qingshan coughed lightly. "Why don't you come to Shanhai Pass first? Once you've recovered from your injuries and processed these resources, I can take the opportunity to transfer a few Martial Infant Realm from various provinces. It won't be too late to surround them then..."
"There's no Trouble that."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Li interrupted, "I'm less than 500 li from Lie Ding Province. After a short reorganization, we can make our move."
"..."
Yang Qingshan clicked his tongue and said as tactfully as possible, "Ye Li, the Heavenly Sun Sect has a strong foundation, with at least three Martial Infant Realm experts guarding the sect."
He tried to dissuade the other party from their idea with this statement.
Having recently advanced to the Martial Infant Realm, even with the Golden Body Technique obtained in the [Secret Realm of Kings], wouldn't he have to temporarily avoid facing three martial artists at the mid-stage or even late-stage Martial Infant Realm?
"Of course I know they have a strong foundation."
However, Ye Li's words once again surprised Yang Qingshan, who asked somewhat strangely, "Otherwise, what kind of house would I have searched?"
"This..."
Yang Qingshan took a deep breath, then immediately thought of how the other party had just escaped death from the hands of two Federation Kings.
Perhaps they really do have a trump card up their sleeve.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's not that I doubt your strength."
"Do you still remember when I told you that the [Three Mountains and Six Sects] deeply understood the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"
"A few days ago, right after you wiped out the Muchun Hall in Hanhai Province, a sect leader from the Three Mountains came to me specifically to inquire about you."
"If I'm not mistaken, he's already got his eye on you..."
At this point, Yang Qingshan's tone became more solemn, like that of an elder, as he patiently advised:
"You just escaped from two Grandmaster-level martial artists, so you should already know the weight of Martial Dao Grandmaster."
"The leader of the Three Mountains Sect?"
As expected, upon hearing this, Ye Li's tone clearly wavered slightly. "What's his name?"
"..."
Yang Qingshan felt a pang of emotion; now, only by bringing out a powerhouse of this caliber could they manage to subdue the young man.
That's incredibly fast progress...
Yang Qingshan shook his head slightly, then frankly said, "The Supreme Dao Sect, Feng Xiuzhen."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice came from the other end of the phone, in a slightly questioning tone:
"Old Yang, I remember you said that once I become Martial Dao Grandmaster, I can even wipe out the Three Mountains?"
Yang Qingshan subconsciously replied, "That's right, I did say that."
"That's fine."
Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, "You spoke too hastily just now; there's something I haven't had a chance to say yet."
Upon hearing this...
For some reason, Yang Qingshan's heart suddenly started racing. "What is it?"
Immediately afterwards.
Ye Li's calm words suddenly stirred up a storm in his heart, which had been dormant for many years:
"I've advanced to the Grandmaster level."
