What Were They Seeking?

"Does the princess mean we should buy some to take back with us? But then we'll run out of money."

Purchasing steel requires a large quantity.

The cost of using these weapons to arm the soldiers of their own Zhou Kingdom is unimaginable.

To be honest, the money they brought was all used to buy those treasures, intending to use them to make money back home.

That's definitely not enough to buy all that steel.

Moreover, I'm afraid the emperor would be unhappy if we bought it back.

The Zhou Kingdom's treasury is currently not abundant, and the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue are all hoping to make a fortune from this transaction.

If this sum of money were simply squandered, the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue would definitely be furious.

It's also difficult to explain to the Emperor.

To be more practical, I've heard that the Emperor is already planning how he'll spend the money he earns this time.

The minister's words were also a reminder to the princess that she shouldn't waste the money.

Upon hearing this, the princess shook her head; she hadn't actually thought that way.

After thinking for a moment, the princess said, "My intention is to buy some to take back with me so that my father may know. As for whether or not to buy them, that is naturally up to my father and the ministers to decide."

Upon hearing this, the envoys exchanged glances and then breathed a sigh of relief.

They were worried that the princess might act impulsively and buy all of that steel.

This stuff is great, but once I buy it, it'll be hard to resell.

If the emperor gets angry about this, they'll have nowhere to reason with him.

He was thinking about how much money he could make in one go.

"These guys..."

In the palace, Li Muchuan frowned as he looked at Weiwei, who had returned from the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

"Those guys are getting increasingly aggressive?"

"Yes, we used to attack about once a day, but now we're launching attacks almost three times a day, and the soldiers are all exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei quickly responded.

They were doing a little better, but the soldiers under Lin Liyun's command seemed to be struggling to hold on.

Such relentless attacks are truly agonizing.

Even with the weapons given to him by Li Muchuan as support, he was physically and mentally exhausted after a while.

Li Muchuan frowned, sensing something was amiss.

These immortal beings are indeed a real problem. If it weren't for their immortality, these guys would have died countless times already.

The more Li Muchuan thought about it, the more troublesome things became.

"Have you found anything that can get rid of these evil spirits and prevent them from coming back to life?"

Li Muchuan thought for a moment and then asked a question.

The real problem lies in the fact that the opponent is immortal.

If the opponent cannot be immortal, then things become much simpler.

This should instill fear in the other side, preventing them from attacking their passage again.

Furthermore, what exactly is going on with these guys?

I've never heard Empress Wanxi mention that these guys would attack the passage so recklessly.

Li Muchuan was puzzled.

He had initially thought that, given the initial situation and the continued attacks from the other side under these circumstances, things would be as they were.

For the Jiang Kingdom, there is basically no danger.

Even if the other side has more Yin God, with Tao Lingluo in charge, there won't be any surprises.

But the current situation is rather troublesome.

These guys are acting like they've gone mad, launching such a frenzied attack.

Given that the other party is somewhat intelligent, they must have some ulterior motive.

I just don't know what exactly caused the other side to launch such a frenzied attack.

"If this matter were so easy to discover, the Human Sovereign would have known about it long ago. We've only been fighting with them for a short time; we really don't know anything about it."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei immediately replied.

If she knew about this, she would probably report it immediately.

Seeing that the other party was unaware of this situation, Li Muchuan also sighed.

Ammunition consumption has increased recently.

The arsenal is already operating at full capacity, and to ensure a sufficient supply of materials, Li Muchuan has also coordinated with various regions.

If they run out of ammunition, the battle on the other side of the passage will likely become even more brutal.

"I understand now. What resources are needed over there?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muchuan immediately nodded and then asked a question.

The situation in the passage has become somewhat complicated, and Li Muchuan probably already knows it.

He wanted to know if there were any needs over there.

Aside from that, the other side still absolutely must hold the passage.

Regardless, the passage must be defended.

Upon hearing this, Weiwei shook her head, then thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that other passages have already been breached."

"Huh? What?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muchuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he looked at the other person with an expression of disbelief.

"How do you know this? Which passage was breached?"

Li Muchuan stared wide-eyed at Weiwei, somewhat puzzled. The passage had been breached?

The passages in other places also have the presence of Human Sovereign.

Those Human Sovereign shouldn't be so weak, unable to even guard a passage, right?

How much time has passed?

"It was something the Yin God in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings inadvertently let slip during our battle, so it must be true."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei immediately replied, her tone carrying a hint of seriousness.

The passage being breached is no small matter.

She came back to report on this matter.

Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter that wouldn't be worth her coming back in person.

"Hiss... If this is true, then we're in big trouble..."

Li Muchuan suddenly realized that things were in trouble.

Everything else is fine, but if the passage guarded by other Human Sovereign is breached, that would be a huge problem.

Who knows what those guys in this Land of Ten Thousand Witherings are up to?

But it's clear that the other side came specifically for this passage. Now that they've succeeded, what will happen?

Nobody knows.

Thinking about this, Li Muchuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?"

Seeing that the Emperor also seemed to have a headache, Weiwei immediately asked him a question.

"The enemy has already breached one passage, so why are they still relentlessly pursuing and trying to take down our passage? What's going on here?"

Li Muchuan thought for a moment, then asked another question.

He was somewhat puzzled, wondering what exactly was going on.

Was only one section of the passage breached without success, or was there something else at play?

"We couldn't get any information out of them, so Weiwei didn't know either."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei immediately shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

Seeing this, Li Muchuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

However, Li Muchuan still felt somewhat puzzled at this moment.

Why didn't the other side guard that passage?

Given their resources, guarding a passage shouldn't be that difficult, right?

Or perhaps something went wrong?

Thinking about this, Li Muchuan became increasingly curious, but after pondering it for a while, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

Seeing this, Li Muchuan had no choice but to give up.

I really don't know what the other party is planning, especially given the circumstances.

To be honest, it's not easy to analyze.

"Fine, I'll go in with you then."

Li Muchuan thought for a moment, still feeling somewhat uneasy, and immediately spoke up.

Given Li Muchuan's current strength, he felt that even if he wasn't invincible, it wouldn't be easy for others to take his life.

Recently, the national strength of the Jiang Kingdom has increased significantly, and Li Muchuan also feels that his own strength has improved considerably.

Therefore, Li Muchuan thought it might be worthwhile to go inside and search around.

That might reveal the reason behind the enemy's massive attack.

Seeing that Li Muchuan was preparing to go back together, Weiwei hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

In her view, Li Muchuan's current strength meant he shouldn't be in any danger.

Therefore, she agreed.

After making his decision, Li Muchuan quickly took Weiwei back to the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

It was still a hazy gray all around. It wasn't that I couldn't see anything, but it felt like there was something like fog around me, which somewhat obstructed my view.

Therefore, in this situation, one feels that the surroundings are somewhat gloomy.

After entering, Li Muchuan surveyed the city walls surrounding the passage and then looked at the soldiers stationed there.

The creatures in this Land of Ten Thousand Witherings had only just launched one attack before retreating.

The soldiers were resting when they saw Li Muchuan arrive, and they quickly stood up and saluted.

Seeing this, Li Muchuan waved his hand, indicating that the soldiers should sit down and rest.

After carefully inspecting the soldiers' equipment and logistics to ensure that all supplies could be delivered, Li Muchuan turned and left with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, what is this...?"

Lin Liyun was somewhat surprised to see Li Muchuan arrive, and quickly went up to Li Muchuan to ask him a question.

"Are the soldiers divided into several teams? With such continuous attacks, if the soldiers don't get rest, there could be problems."

Upon seeing Lin Liyun, Li Muchuan immediately asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Lin Liyun's expression immediately turned serious. "Your Majesty, I have been reading the training manual you gave me. Naturally, we need to divide our forces for combat."

Upon hearing this, a look of relief immediately appeared on Li Muchuan's face.

It's good that this guy took it to heart.

He had been worried that the other party might not take it seriously.

Judging from the current situation, he doesn't need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, Li Muchuan nodded. "Alright, I'm going to take a look around. Lately, the creatures in the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings have been quite restless. I'll see if there's any way to resolve this problem."

Li Muchuan waved to the other person after saying this, and then he and Weiwei flew towards the depths of the Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

He wanted to go deeper and see what was inside this Land of Ten Thousand Witherings.

The two flew deeper into the distance, and along the way, Yin God immediately flew up to block their path.

At first, there weren't many Yin God, but after a short while...

Then they saw countless Yin God flying towards them like locusts.

Upon seeing this, Li Muchuan immediately made his move, sweeping across a large area. Even so...

The space had barely been cleared out when other Yin God quickly occupied it.

It seemed as if they were impossible to kill them all.

"That's strange. We didn't encounter this situation when we explored this area before, did we?"

Li Muchuan looked at the scene before him and felt extremely strange.

This time, it seemed as if the other side was trying to prevent them from exploring.

Such a bizarre scene naturally piqued the curiosity of the two.

Li Muchuan and Weiwei exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, both deciding to go in and explore.

Upon seeing this, the two immediately took action.

The Yin God in front of them couldn't stop the two at all; Li Muchuan practically waved his hand.

The Yin God in front of them seemed to have been attacked from nowhere, and its entire body shattered instantly.

Although it's possible to revive them, it will take time.

These Yin God will not appear for some time.

As the two flew forward, they carefully observed the Yin God along their path.

In any case, with a wave of his hand, he could cause countless Yin God to die.

In this situation, it hardly takes up any time.

The two of them cleaned faster and faster.

In just a short time, the two flew hundreds of miles.

Then Li Muchuan suddenly paused slightly and stopped.

He noticed something different; beneath his feet, there didn't seem to be many withered bones.

Upon seeing this, Li Muchuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

In other places, the bones are piled up, almost reaching a thickness of tens of meters.

In this situation, the fact that there are no piles of bones indicates that something strange is going on here.

Upon noticing this, Weiwei immediately realized that something was amiss.

Before she could say anything, there was movement below.

Suddenly, a man shrouded in black mist and clad in armor, whose face was obscured, appeared before the two.

Compared to other Yin God, this person was actually dressed, and not just dressed, but fully clothed, which was quite incredible.

Other Yin God do not receive such treatment.

Therefore, the moment this person appeared, it immediately alerted the two of them.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the guy in front of him also possessed extremely profound strength.

Thinking of this, the two exchanged a glance and looked at the guy in front of them warily.

"For the first time in thousands of years, Human Sovereign has dared to venture deep into this place. I truly don't know whether to admire your courage."

The armored Yin God glanced at the two of them, then fixed his gaze on Li Muchuan, before letting out a silent sneer.

Putting everything else aside, this Human Sovereign in front of me certainly has guts.

To barge in so openly, are you really not afraid of dying here?

Li Muchuan remained calm upon hearing this. Looking at the man in front of him, who clearly possessed a very high level of intelligence, he immediately asked a question.

"Since you can speak, that makes things easier. What exactly was your purpose in invading the passage? You are already immortal, what other pursuits do you have?"

They're already immortal, so what are they still pursuing?

This is also what's strange about Li Muchuan.

The Yin God was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately shook its head.
