Chapter 403: Covering the body with formation, saving people with diamonds (asking for monthly tickets)
The whale fisherman's thoughts froze at that moment.

Even if he didn't use his real skills, but the martial arts legend was completely consistent, and his aura did not leak out of his body. Ordinary warriors could not detect it. If the martial arts legend concealed his aura himself, even if he walked past others, they would not be able to detect it at all.

But Li Guanyi was able to find him accurately.

The meaning of this made the whale fishermen look a little tense.

Old Siming took a breath and said:
"Will you no longer be able to secretly follow them from now on?!"

"I can't spy on them anymore..."

boom! ! !
The veins on the whale fisherman's forehead bulged. He raised his hand and slapped the old Siming on the forehead with five fingers. He smiled gently and said, "What do you mean, peeping?"

"I am just caring about my daughter."

"I don't want to be cheated by that brat riding a unicorn."

"Is there a problem with this?"

"That's no problem."

The old Siming gasped, grinned, and slapped the whale fisherman's hand:

“It hurts, it hurts…hiss…”

"Let go, let go, let go."

The whale fisherman knew his limits and was just joking with Old Siming. Sometimes the old man would use seemingly unintentional words to accurately expose the whale fisherman's secret thoughts, which made him very unhappy.

But when he looked at Li Guanyi, there was still some shock and surprise. He flashed and appeared beside Li Guanyi. There were quite a few pedestrians passing by, but none of them noticed the tall and silver-haired man.

The whale fisherman looked him up and down and said, "Come with me."

Li Guanyi also wanted to understand his situation, so he and Yaoguang followed the whale fisherman to a quiet place. The whale fisherman gently told Yaoguang to get some snacks.

The silver-haired girl looked at Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi nodded slightly, then stood up and left quietly.

This subtle action made the old father's heart twitch.

After Yaoguang left for a while, the whale fisherman suddenly stretched out his hand. The silver-haired man was famous for his formation, but at this moment, the charm of his hand was hidden and flowing, which was definitely a superb method. He pressed firmly on Li Guanyi's shoulder.

A warm breath flowed through his body, and the whale fisherman looked at Li Guanyi strangely:

"...It's still the eighth level, and it's leaking like a colander."

"But, it also has a hint of martial arts legend."

He frowned slightly, and paced around Li Guanyi, sensing him several times, pressing here and patting there, before finally making a judgment, saying: "...there is no breakthrough, but the aura that Chen Fubi gave you has already crushed your body."

"Probably, you took advantage of the hundreds of thousands of troops and briefly came into contact with the legendary energy of Chen Fubi's martial arts. It shouldn't have lasted long, but you happened to have a fierce fight with Jiang Su, who was considered the best martial artist, under this circumstance."

"No, he unilaterally treated you like a wooden machine and beat you."

"You were beaten and carried at the same time. Your entire body was almost shattered into pieces. However, because of this, the legendary energy of the Wolf King's martial arts was also dispersed by the power of the God of War and fell into your limbs and bones."

"How can I put it? It's just like making steamed buns."

"This power permeates your entire body. The God of War Jiang Su did it himself, so it permeates very evenly."

The whale fisherman thought for a long time before he came up with such an appropriate evaluation. He nodded, and was quite pleased with his own idea.

Li Guanyi thought for a moment and said, "So I am now..."

The whale fisherman looked at him calmly and said, "It's only the eighth heaven."

"It's just the eighth level that has some of the characteristics of a martial arts legend, that's all!"

After a pause, the whale fisherman asked him:
"How old are you this year?"

Li Guanyi replied: "Eighteen years old."

The whale fisherman rarely calmed down at this time. After a while of silence, he put his hands behind his back, sneered and said, "You only got this aura seven or eight years earlier than me..."

"That's all!"

At the window, the old Siming's white head and the old black turtle's head popped out. The man and the turtle looked at the scene over there. The old Siming sighed and said, "When this kid was unconscious, the old white-haired guy was more nervous than anyone else."

"Why did you seem so stubborn when you woke up?"

"I'm afraid that even the military god Jiang Su's sharp weapons and the sword madman Murong Longtu's sword energy can't break his mouth."

"It's time to change your name. You shouldn't be called Zhen Kui anymore."

"Just change your name to Mouth King."

The old black turtle shrank his head.

The aftermath of the formation swept over and knocked old Siming off his feet. The silver-haired man over there withdrew his gaze unhappily, raised his hand and pressed it on Li Guanyi's shoulder, and tapped several major acupoints such as his chest and eyebrows. There was a faint aura of formation flowing.

The whale fisherman said in a rather impolite tone:

"Although I may be suspected of bragging, the status of a martial arts legend is not a good thing for you at the moment. Instead, it is a huge drain. As the ancients said, extreme wisdom will lead to injury. You are in this situation right now."

"As the Taoist says, one must cultivate both the body and the soul."

"Only strong Qi and blood can support the activities of the Yuanshen."

"With your shattered body after the battle, your soul cannot sustain the consumption of the legendary characteristics of martial arts. Naturally, your life span will begin to be consumed."

"The medicinal properties of Hou Zhongyu's elixir of immortality have been completely exhausted."

"If you take another risk like this, you'll have to tough it out."

"I am in a good mood today, so I left a few seals on you. I will temporarily protect you with the energy of the martial arts legend so that you can accumulate vitality. If you encounter an enemy, you can deploy the formation and fight the enemy with the vitality you have accumulated."

Although the whale fisherman was rude in his words, he was very skillful with his hands.

After the blessing of the Whale Fisherman's formation, Li Guanyi could clearly feel that the weakness he had felt before was greatly relieved. He clenched his fist slightly and said, "Sure enough, it is the foundation of the Eighth Heaven. Then, if I open the formation, what will happen?"

The whale fisherman frowned for a long time and said, "Although it's not very accurate."

"About that."

"A martial arts legend of a person who was severely injured and fell to a lower realm?"

"Or, in other words, the martial arts legend dispersed his skills and started over again, and finally reached the eighth level of cultivation?"

"It doesn't have the means of martial arts legends that are close to reality, nor does it have the ability to mobilize the vital energy of dozens of miles in a breath, but it basically has the vision, perception, and judgment of martial arts legends."

"In other words, your perception will not be as good as a normal martial arts legend."

"But it is superior to the ordinary nine heavens."

"But the time is short and cannot be sustained. Once you waste too much time, it will begin to consume your own vitality. Humph, the Chen family has changed like this. I understand why..."

The whale fisherman frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and said to himself:

"Chen Fubi, Chen Fubi, his martial arts legend is different from Jiang Su's."

"The legend of Jiang Su, praying for a long-term victory for the army."

"The legend of Chen Fu-bi proves that he can fight to the death without losing."

"Add to that the last magical skill of Chen Baxian. No wonder this legendary charm of martial arts has changed so much when it falls on you... It consumes your vitality in exchange for top-notch explosive power."

Li Guanyi said: "Is it really so?"

"The legend of martial arts, the great way is the only one, it is so vaguely true. Since the aura of martial arts legends here suddenly rises, it really means..."

The whale fisherman frowned, then relaxed his brows and said calmly, "If Chen Fubi, that old wolf, is allowed to rise again, he will still be your enemy. He is the kind of person who follows his own desires throughout his life. It is a good thing for him to die on this battlefield."

"It is a happy death to die in a worthy way."

Li Guan smiled and said, "Then I still hope that I can live a peaceful and tranquil life in the martial arts world. In any case, this is the power left by my uncle and a great opportunity."

"I will use it properly."

However, Li Guanyi knew in his heart that he would not really follow the Wolf King's path. The Wolf King walked the path of endless wars and chaos with a heroic manner, but the path he wanted to take had already been determined when he broke through the Grandmaster's level.

The nine provinces and four seas are unified.

If he only follows the aura left by the Wolf King and walks the path of Wolf King Chen Fubi, he will never be able to surpass the Wolf King in this lifetime. The Wolf King will become an insurmountable peak before his eyes.

He has his own path to follow.

The whale fisherman didn't know what Li Guanyi was thinking, so he just said:
"In short, try to use this method as little as possible. The formation I put on you can condense your daily vitality, so that you can use it once every period of time without cost. Once it starts to deplete your vitality, the formation will close again."

"When the time comes, you better run away quickly."

The whale fisherman put his palm on Li Guanyi's shoulder and moved closer. He squeezed Li Guanyi's shoulder with his palm and said with a dangerous smile, "Don't die somewhere, understand."

"I fought all over the world and got injured all over. What do you want?"

"Fame, or gold and silver... You have enough fame, but you use all the gold and silver to provide relief to the people and the dead in battle. I wonder what's in your mind."

"I'm not worried about whether you live or die, but if you die, Yaoguang..."

Deserved.

A crisp voice was heard, and a silver-haired girl came in with a bag of snacks.

The whale fisherman's palm became gentle, and he patted Li Guanyi's shoulder, brushing away the non-existent dust on his shoulder. He smiled happily and said cheerfully: "Haha, my dear nephew, my good nephew."

"Pay attention to your body."

Li Guanyi stretched out his finger and pointed at the shoulder that was being pressed by the whale fisherman.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"pain."

Whale Fisherman: “…………”

Li Guanyi smiled happily.

The whale fisherman's smile twitched and turned into a grim one.

Damn you.

The silver-haired girl turned to look at the silver-haired man over there, put down the snacks, and gently kicked the whale fisherman.

Then he turned around, stood on tiptoe, with no expression on his face.

He raised his palm and gently hit Li Guanyi's forehead.

Put a steamed bun on Li Guanyi's head.

"fool."

………………

The whale fisherman was finally forced back by Yaoguang's calm gaze, and Li Guanyi was able to take a leisurely stroll in the city. The war in the Western Region was completely over, and the atmosphere in the whole city was still a little tense, but it was gradually beginning to ease.

It was springtime, and the Western Region was also welcoming a beautiful time of year. People were walking on the streets, and chambers of commerce were beginning to operate again. The farming season was over, but on the other hand, there were also many wounded soldiers in the entire Western Region who needed care.

There are many war dead who need compensation.

We should also reduce taxes and encourage agriculture and sericulture.

Chen Wenmian personally went to all directions to gather the Wolf King's army that was defeated by Jiang Su. At this time, most of these soldiers had lost their will to fight, the Wolf King was gone, and they were facing the unparalleled edge of the world's number one general.

The Western Regions were vast and sparsely populated, so the Anxi Protectorate settled them down. Those who were willing to join the army joined Chen Wenmian's army; those who hoped to lay down their swords and enjoy the hard-won peace returned to their hometowns.

These things consume a lot of money.

But regarding this matter, Pojun told Li Guanyi not to worry.

Li Guanyi's reputation was on the rise at this moment. He defeated the undisputed number one general in the world in the name of Heavenly Khan. In the Western Regions, he already had the reputation of being the number one overlord. After that, his actions of cultivating life and resting with the people won him great popularity.

In this case, we can go and get our gold and silver that Wen He had 'temporarily stored' in the Dangxiang King's city.

As for the other part, Mr. Wenhe had deposited one million taels of silver.

It is also located in the Zhenxi Pass built by Lu Youxian.

"Lu Youxian..."

Eventually, I still have to compete with this person.

No matter what each person's personal opinion of each other is, in this chaotic world, one cannot retreat even a single step.

Li Guanyi tossed the fruit in his hand.

Took a bite.

Mm, sweet!
He was wearing brown clothes, with hanging black hair and a pale face, looking like a sick man. He did not have the murderous aura that he had on the battlefield. People passing by ignored him. Li Guanyi and Yaoguang sat down next to a tea stall to rest.

The economic system of the Western Region has begun to connect with that of the Jiangnan area.

Li Guanyi ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks and ate slowly. The spring sun had grown warm. After fighting all over the world, the wounded general sat here quietly. No one really recognized him.

All they recognized was the hero named Tianger.

The legend of the Heavenly Khan was about the Khan, and his image became more and more abstract and weird. In the end, the Heavenly Khan had become a god-like being who was 12 feet tall, with broad shoulders and body, and horses could run on his arms.

Li Guanyi almost laughed out loud.

But when the people mentioned that Heavenly Khan, they all smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

So Li Guanyi also felt happy.

He closed his eyes, listening to the sounds of people coming and going in the city and talking to each other, and the sound of the wind. Although it was a bustling market, Li Guanyi's heart was inexplicably peaceful.

Thinking about the whale fisherman's question, he said to himself:

"All that I seek, all the reasons why I fight, are already here."

“I’ve been paid.”

Right here, watching people coming and going and living in peace, Li Guanyi felt that this could calm his mind better than anything else. After a while, someone came on horseback and sat next to Li Guanyi. He was wearing a white robe and a dark jade crown, and said:
"Big brother."

After Chen Wenmian learned that Li Guanyi had woken up, he rushed back. Li Guanyi chatted with him and learned that the current situation in the Western Region was basically similar to what Pojun had said, with no difference.

The power of Chen State and Ying State both declined to a certain extent.

Chen Wenmian took a sip of tea and said:
"Lu Youxian has started building the city again."

Li Guan paused: "...this guy."

“Too safe.”

Li Guanyi and Chen Wenmian both knew that now that the great event in the Western Region had come to an end, all forces had entered a phase of recuperation, but for the Tiance Mansion, it was necessary to quickly take over the southwest while Chen and Ying were too busy with domestic affairs to take care of other things.

Take advantage of the momentum.

But the subtle thing is that the situation has become almost clear.

Lu Youxian also guessed Li Guanyi's judgment and choice with a high probability.

then--

Let’s build the city first!

Chen Wenmian was silent for a moment, holding the cup with both hands, and said, "There is still no news about my father..."

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer.

Although he guessed that the Wolf King must have died on the battlefield he had chosen, he could not tell Chen Wenmian openly. He just said, "Changfeng Tower is preparing to break through the barriers to the spread of information between the countries."

"It has also been connected to the ghost market."

"News will be back soon."

Chen Wenmian pursed his lips and said softly, "I guessed my father's choice later, but... I knew it, but I always felt that the day was still far away. I never thought that things would change so quickly."

"My father passed away, and General Xiao Wuliang lost his arm."

"The army was broken up by Jiang Su again. Although there are the Canglang Guards that my father left for me, the other armies are almost all demoralized. Only my father can bring them together."

"After all, I am not a father."

Li Guanyi looked at Chen Wenmian and felt the struggle and pain beneath the calm heart of this young man in white robe - in fact, Chen Wenmian was the one who truly experienced the entire battlefield in the Western Region.

Several years have passed since the Wolf King brought him into the Western Regions.

Chen Wenmian had made great military achievements with his sword and spear. In the battle against Jiang Su, whether he was leading his troops to cut off the enemy or bravely dealing with Jiang Su, Chen Wenmian showed a level that was not in line with the peak of the Sixth Heaven.

He knew what kind of danger his father was facing at that time.

As a son, it was painful for him not to be able to go to the same battlefield with his father, so he could only fight with all his might on the battlefield in the Western Region. His bravery was witnessed by everyone in the Tiance Mansion.

Li Guanyi felt the pain and struggle in Chen Wenmian's heart, and felt the subtle transformation in him. Li Guanyi's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw ripples in the void behind Chen Wenmian, who lowered his head and clenched his fists.

The Dharma image of Chen Wenmian appears.

His Dharma image was that of the Chen royal family's Qiongqi, a winged tiger, carrying an aura of the vast sky and faint waves, giving people a sense of substance.

The so-called martial arts master is nothing more than a martial artist whose spirit and energy have reached the ultimate, and then transformed in a special way. This step is a hurdle that even those brave and powerful generals in the top 100 of the list of famous generals find difficult to cross!

Chen Wenmian, the former crown prince of the Chen Kingdom, who had experienced the entire battlefield in the Western Regions and survived the battle with Jiang Su, had now reached the threshold of the Grandmaster realm.

If you can step on it.

Even at the age of 20, if one reaches the Grandmaster level, he can be ranked among the top 30 on the list of famous generals.

So as not to disgrace his father's reputation.

However, Chen Wenmian was struggling and in pain at the moment, and he was immersed in it. Instead, he failed to concentrate his mind and never took this step. This is the so-called bottleneck. Some people can cross it just by sleeping, but some cannot take a single step in their entire life.

Those many famous generals ranked between 30th and 100th on the God Generals List.

They are all at this stage.

Li Guanyi did not point out this matter, but just poured tea for Chen Wenmian and said: "We must go to the southwest, but Lu Youxian blocked the way first, and then the people in the southwest did not participate in the chaos in the world, and the power was preserved intact."

"We in Tiance Prefecture are also an exhausted army. It is not easy to capture this place before Chen and Ying have a chance to recuperate."

Chen Wenmian's attention was attracted and he talked for a while, but then he heard someone talking next to him, mentioning words like Wolf King and Chen Fubi.

Chen Wenmian's thoughts paused slightly, and Li Guanyi also looked over.

The great battlefield in the Western Regions has ended, and many people from the Central Plains have also come here. Whenever there is troubled times, it is an opportunity for many powerful people to rise, and there are always speculators.

At the next table were several men dressed as Central Plains warriors. They also ordered tea and ate naan and dried meat. There was also a plate of nuts on the table. As they ate, they spoke in Central Plains dialect:

"Finally we're here, Anxi City."

"Yes, but this city is not as harsh and wild as the rumors in the Central Plains say. Looking around, it has the style of our Central Plains country."

"After all, the Western Region is now that person's territory, right?"

"You said...Qin Wu..."

"Hush, be silent."

Li Guan paused and lowered his eyes.

The silver-haired girl clasped her hands together, and the other noisy voices seemed to leave them. Only the conversation of the Central Plains warriors over there was clear: "The power of Qin Wu, here, shall be called the Heavenly Khan."

"We heard that a bandit leader from the Central Plains came here just to recruit his men and show off his power. He said that even if the Khan of Heaven comes here, we have to lick his shoes."

"The tribes that had been suppressed suddenly rioted."

"The leader of the bandits from the Third Heaven was shot into a pile of rotten meat, stripped naked and thrown out to feed the wolves. I heard that the Khan of Heaven is a giant with a height of 12 feet and a waist of 8 feet. He holds a drum-beating golden hammer weighing 800 kilograms."

"We need to eat 300 kilograms of pork, 300 kilograms of mutton, and 300 kilograms of naan in one meal."

"They believed that they were gods from heaven walking on earth."

"It's called golden beads or something."

Li Guanyi: “…………”

Chen Wenmian's eyes shifted away, his shoulders moving as if he was trying hard to hold back a laugh.

"Sorry, brother, I'm not laughing."

"I just……"

Chen Wenmian was rarely amused these past few days, and the heavy mood in his body dissipated. Li Guanyi also felt that it was okay to be amused. On the contrary, the leader of the warriors over there seemed unhappy and said:
"Okay, stop talking."

"After all, he is also the Marquis Qin Wu of the Central Plains... Now that Xiyi City has retreated, the seven Turkic kings are considered brave, but they were beaten to a bloody pulp by the Wolf King, and Lu Youxian was injured. At this time, Marquis Qin Wu is likely to become the overlord of the entire Western Region."

"Yeah, what a pity."

The bearded man said, "What a pity! The Wolf King was killed!"

"I heard that Jiang Su personally chopped off the corpse in front of everyone, and the corpse was hung at the east gate for three days, exposed to the wind and rain..."

The expressions of Li Guanyi and Chen Wenmian suddenly froze.

The rare smile on the white-robed warrior's face just now disappeared, and Li Guanyi heard the roar of a tiger. The aura of Qiongqi's Dharma image suddenly dissipated. The next moment, those Central Plains warriors suddenly felt a murderous aura, and their scalps went numb.

Then he saw a tiger rushing towards him. He screamed in fear and fell backwards. When he focused his eyes, he saw a handsome young man in armor and a neat white robe. He raised his hand and grabbed his collar, his eyes red.

"Tell me, what happened to the Wolf King!!!"

The warrior was so frightened by the aura of the master that his scalp went numb. He said, "I, I don't know. It's not me, it's not—"

"Wolf, Wolf King Chen Fubi was killed by the God of War Jiang Su himself."

"The God of War Jiang Su chopped off the Wolf King's head in front of everyone."

"It seemed that the chop was off-center. It was not until the fifth strike that it was chopped off. Even though the Wolf King was already dead, the blood and bravery still surged high. Then the Wolf King's head and body were hung at the gate of the capital to wash away the humiliation of the Ying State."

"I, I just heard it from others."

"I heard about it, big, big hero, please don't blame me!"

He was so frightened by the evil spirit emanating from Chen Wenmian that he turned pale and spoke incoherently.

Chen Wenmian let go of the man's collar and staggered back, almost falling down. Li Guan raised his hand and pressed his shoulder. A gentle breath flowed into his body, calming Chen Wenmian's mind. Then he looked at the warrior and said:
"May I ask what happened to the Wolf King's corpse afterwards..."

Li Guanyi's voice was a little hoarse. It was hard to imagine that the heroic and brutal hero would end up like this. The man calmed down and saw that Li Guanyi was dressed simply and had a gentle expression. He barely stopped being afraid and said:
"Yes, on the third day."

"A monk broke into the city gate and snatched the corpse..."
