Zhang Qingliu's words do make some sense.
In that Beast God Secret Realm, which no one has ever set foot in before, a true martial artist of the Mountain Sea Realm is certainly more useful than a Land Immortal.
Even if the latter possesses rare, enhancement-type Martial Arts Talent, the situation remains the same.
"..."
Cai Jingyun pursed her lips slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed, "Then I will take Huaxia."
Although I really wanted to enter the Secret Realm with General Ye and do my part, however small, I was still eager to do so.
But if it only adds to the negative impression, then it's pointless.
For her, the safety of the boy's life outweighed all sentimental attachments.
Moreover, judging from what Yang Qingshan said...
By staying in Huaxia, he was essentially helping out.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Cai."
Yang Qingshan visibly breathed a sigh of relief; that was exactly what he had planned.
After all, they were heading to the Secret Realm inhabited by Mutant Beast from the Mountain Sea Realm. Although their teacher's personality was somewhat unreliable, his strength was undeniably formidable.
Furthermore, when faced with multiple-choice questions, they always choose the correct answer.
If he were to encounter some unimaginable unexpected situation in the Secret Realm, he would likely choose the right option between himself and Ye Li.
"It's alright."
Cai Jingyun shook her head slightly, but the hint of melancholy that flashed across her eyes proved that she wasn't truly indifferent.
It's a pity that we only encounter such a heart-stirring hero once every few thousand years.
Cai Jingyun skillfully concealed her emotions, then glanced at the old man in the Daoist Robe, her gentle voice carrying a hint of entrustment:
"I'm entrusting General Ye to you."
"Rest assured."
Zhang Qingliu immediately waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to say more, "As long as I have a breath left, General Ye will not be in trouble."
"..."
Cai Jingyun didn't speak, but her deep eyes remained fixed on the other person.
Seeing this situation.
Zhang Qingliu's lips twitched slightly, then he took a deep breath and slowly said:
"No matter what, I will ensure General Ye's safe return."
Cai Jingyun smiled again, "Then Pillar of the Nation very much, Guozhu."
"Of course."
Zhang Qingliu calmed his emotions. In fact, he also knew how important the boy was to Huaxia.
To be able to break through Martial Dao in such a manner on Blue Star.
The difficulty is no less than growing a rare and Treasure Medicine in barren soil.
With the blessing of Huaxia, such a prodigy has come to assist the Qingyi Bureau. Zhang Qingliu will naturally not hesitate to offer his crippled body.
"Why do I feel like this involves me?"
Just then, Ye Li walked in, looked around, and spoke in a calm voice.
Before the words were even finished, everyone in the conference room stood up.
"General Ye."
Looking at the Boy in Black before him, Yang Qingshan felt that the other man had changed in some way, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He could only ask, slightly nervously, "Are you all packed?"
"Um."
Ye Li lightly tapped his chin.
He now desperately wants to go to the Secret Realm.
After all, one always feels uneasy if a newly perfected martial skill isn't tested for its power, and the high-level Mutant Beast in the Beast God Secret Realm are excellent targets.
"I'm about to leave, so I came to let you know."
Ye Li said calmly, "It will take at least one or two days, and at most three to five days. If anything happens to Huaxia during this period..."
At this point, he glanced at Yang Qingshan, who immediately understood and solemnly cupped his hands in reply:
"Understood, we'll figure out a way to handle it ourselves."
We can't rely on General Ye to handle everything.
The thought had barely crossed Yang Qingshan's mind when it was interrupted by the other person's voice—
You still don't understand.
Ye Li frowned slightly and said, "What I mean is, if anything changes during this period, try to leave it until I return to deal with it."
"Ah?"
Yang Qingshan was taken aback. Wouldn't this make him too dependent on the other person?
"I understand now."
Before Yang Qingshan could react...
Cai Jingyun nodded in agreement, then added, "General, please be careful on this trip."
Ye Li gave a noncommittal bow, then turned and walked out of the conference room.
"Take care, everyone. I'm setting off now."
Zhang Qingliu rubbed his hands together and smiled at the three people inside the room.
He then walked out of the conference room with a cheerful smile and moved closer to Ye Li.
"You're going too?"
Ye Li glanced at him and said calmly, "Let me make this clear: if anything happens, I might not be able to protect you."
The strength of the creatures in the Mountain Sea Realm was unknown, and he couldn't use the old man in front of him as a practice battle for life and death.
Therefore, it's hard to say what the situation will be like then, or whether there will be enough time to protect others.
"..."
Zhang Qingliu almost choked.
What do you mean by "not necessarily able to protect him"?
Does a supreme expert of the Mountain Sea Realm really need the protection of a mere junior?
Zhang Qingliu adjusted his breathing and forced a smile, "General Ye, I came here to protect you."
"I don't need it."
When faced with life-or-death situations, Ye Li never places his hope of survival on others.
You can only rely on yourself in everything.
"... That beast has the [Great Dao Thunder Seal] that I implanted within its body."
Zhang Qingliu let out a breath and then explained his role from another perspective, "As long as there is a way to enter the Secret Realm, I am confident that I can locate its existence."
The old man sounded somewhat weary as he spoke.
Having a peerless martial artist by your side is a blessing many people dream of, but the Boy in Black in front of him doesn't seem to care at all.
Fortunately, his words weren't entirely without effect.
As Zhang Qingliu finished speaking...
Ye Li looked up and asked, "Are you confident you can locate the main body?"
"I'm confident!" Zhang Qingliu nodded hurriedly, afraid that the other party really wanted him to go it alone.
"That's still somewhat useful; you'll have to figure things out yourself in a life-or-death situation."
Ye Li patted the old man on the shoulder, then walked to the open space in the courtyard.
With a flick of his hand, he sealed off this entire world.
Boom!--
Immediately afterwards, a dense, pitch-black aura of death spread out from the courtyard, and countless powerful phantoms appeared and disappeared in the black mist, with several auras comparable to those of Land Immortal suddenly revealed!
Zhang Qingliu stood to the side, watching helplessly as several unfamiliar auras of the Hegemony Realm rose into the sky within the courtyard, only to be casually suppressed by the Boy in Black.
His eyes were somewhat dazed.
But this was clearly a unique tactic employed by the other party, and he couldn't easily intervene.
"Enemy attack?!"
The next moment, Yang Qingshan and his two companions appeared in the courtyard, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"..."
Ye Li ignored them, simply putting his hands in his pockets and calmly looking at the black mist ahead.
I killed too many Mutant Beasts in the Hegemony Realm Secret Realm.
So much so that finding the soul of that Beast God Cult's Saintess required a bit of searching.
Soon, to everyone's astonishment...
A strange woman with blood-red markings on her body emerged from the black mist.
Judging from her appearance, she was none other than the long-deceased Saintess of the Beast God Cult!
The expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
Honestly, having lived this long, they had never seen such bizarre methods before!
She knelt before Ye Li and said respectfully, "My lord, the ceremony is ready and the teleportation can begin at any time."
