Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 275: Meeting Li Minghu Again

In the early morning, the Zhenhai team arrived at the Erhai area.

The military headquarters here was already overcrowded. Not only were there a large number of soldiers and monks, but there were also dozens of conscripted troops from Annan and Pingxi.

The local garrison monks flew around on their swords, arranging accommodation for their comrades who had rushed to the battlefield.

Not long after Yan Yu and his men arrived, they received a text message from Li Minghu:

"Are you here?"

"arrive."

"Report the coordinates."

"I'll let Ruoxi release a lightning bolt, and you can see it."

Yan Yu turned around and gave an order, and Xie Ruoxi raised his arm and shot out a divine thunder, which was extremely conspicuous in the night sky.

"Saw."

After a while, Li Minghu came on his sword and led the Zhenhai team to a nearby hotel and gave everyone room cards.

All the monks in the team stayed in this hotel. Due to the large number of people, each team was allocated three standard rooms. Usually, the captain had a room to himself, and the other four people shared two rooms.

However, after everyone started distributing the room cards, they discovered another unexpected problem:

There are six of us!

"Are there any other rooms?" Yan Yu asked the front desk.

"Sorry, the room is full." The receptionist replied awkwardly.

The entire hotel was booked in advance by the Pingxi Army. Which rooms belonged to which team had been decided, and the remaining rooms had been arranged separately. There were no empty rooms at all.

"In that case," Su Yunjin said calmly, "Then I'll room with the captain."

"How can that be possible?" Lin Ning said in disbelief. "Yunjin, you and the captain are not in a relationship, so how can you live in the same room? Are you going to give up your innocent reputation?"

I've lived in the same room with the captain for a long time... Su Yunjin looked at Lin Ning indifferently, and really wanted to throw out this ultimate move and kill Ning Ning!

However, she held back.

Lin Ning is not sure whether she likes the captain yet. If I provoke her rashly and make her make up her mind instead, wouldn’t I be creating a love rival for myself?

Therefore, Su Yunjin just said:
"No matter who it is, someone has to live with the captain. Ningning, are you going to volunteer?"

As a literary girl, she naturally had a good understanding of people's hearts. Lin Ning couldn't really say, "Then I'll do it," and could only stand anxiously by with an expression that said, "I disagree."

"How about I do it?" Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly said. She remembered that she still had to practice Qi cultivation with Yan Yushuang. "Anyway, there has to be someone else. So I can do it."

"Then it's Sister Zhao." Yan Yu said decisively, "Yunjin, you live with Ningning. Lingyun will stay with Ruoxi."

Su Yunjin said "oh" and forced herself to suppress her unhappiness, but she felt anxious inside.

Why don't you choose me?

Captain, we have lived together before, why did you choose Sister Zhao this time?
How is she better than me?
Looking at Zhao Yuanzhen's figure, Su Yunjin gradually became speechless and his expression became more and more gloomy.

Could it be that……

Lin Ning was relieved. She knew that Zhao Yuanzhen would practice with Yan Yu every night, so she didn't think about it in other ways. She just smiled and said to Su Yunjin:
"I've got the room card. Let's go, Yunjin?"

"Yeah." Su Yunjin lowered her eyelids, not wanting to pay any attention to her best friend.

Yan Yu and Zhao Yuanzhen returned to their room. They were like an old married couple living together, so there was no need for them to communicate. The demon girl went to wash up first, and Yan Yu changed into slippers and sat on the edge of the bed, playing with his phone.

Bang, bang, bang! Someone is knocking on the door.

Yan Yu went over to see that it was the Li siblings. He opened the door and welcomed them into the room. Zhao Yuanzhen also poked his head out of the bathroom and saw that it was Li Zhaojiang and Li Minghu who came in. He then turned back to wash his face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Li Zhaojiang sighed, "Comrade Lao Yan, you're bringing your family with you to the battlefield! How can you still concentrate on fighting properly?"

"Didn't you bring your family with you?" Yan Yu retorted.

"Nonsense!" Li Zhaojiang retorted subconsciously at first, then suddenly realized that the "family" Yan Yu was talking about was not "wife" but "sister", and quickly explained, "My sister is also a cultivator, how can this be the same?"

"Isn't Xiao Zhao a cultivator?" Yan Yu asked back.

"My sister is on the same team as me." Li Zhaojiang continued to argue.

"Aren't we?" Yan Yu asked again.

Li Zhaojiang was finally defeated, and Li Minghu said with a smile:
"Excuse me in the early morning, I have something serious to discuss."

"Well, you go ahead." Yan Yu asked the two to sit down.

"There are three top teams participating in this battle: Zhenhai, Huofeng, and us," Li Minghu said slowly. "The Privy Council's arrangement is that one team will be responsible for conquering the Mirror Lake Secret Realm in Ailao Mountain, and the other two teams will be responsible for intercepting the Witch King's army."

"The Pingxi Army wants Zhou Hongyu and his men to attack the secret realm. Captain Yan, what is your opinion?"

As everyone knows, whoever conquers the secret realm will have the right to dispose of the secret realm's gains, not to mention that intercepting the Witch King's army is more dangerous and the benefits are fewer. Of course, no one will be happy about it.

Yan Yu thought for a moment and said with a smile:
"Isn't it decided from above who will take on what responsibilities? Even if the Pingxi Army wanted to negotiate, they would talk to the Zhendong Army, not our Zhenhai Squadron."

"That's right." Li Minghu smiled slightly, "But the Zhendong Army's response was to respect the Zhenhai Team's opinion."

Yan Yu was immediately happy when he heard this.

Mr. Li really trusts me and knows that I will definitely put the overall situation first, so he deliberately says that he respects my opinion, right?

"Anyway, our Qing'an team won't compete with Zhou Hongyu." Li Zhaojiang said indifferently, "The secret realm is already within the jurisdiction of the Pingxi Army, so it makes sense to let them attack. Now it depends on whether you want to compete with them."

"There's nothing to argue about." Yan Yu said calmly, "Given Zhou Hongyu's ability, it's more appropriate for her to fight in the secret realm. Participating in the battle... I'm afraid that she will be sent to the ICU again shortly after being discharged from the hospital."

"That's fine." Li Minghu nodded.

If the Zhendong Army came to say these words, it would be considered an "order from the superiors", and if the Pingxi Army or the Fire Phoenix Team came to talk, it would be a bit of a "show of force", so it would be best to let the third party Qing'an Team come to test the waters to avoid Yan Yu from having unnecessary thoughts - but in a sense, it also shows that the superiors are paying more and more attention to Yan Yu, the "Flying General of Dragon City", to the point that they are even starting to consider his ideas, and trying their best to avoid misjudgment on both sides.

Even someone as sharp-minded as Li Minghu knows that another way to say "importance" is actually "fear."

It must be the recent rebellion of monks in Jiujiang that has caused the Privy Council to start caring about the loyalty of top monks.

A knight-errant uses force to break the law; the important thing isn't the breaking of the law, but the sword in hand. The two monks rebelled not only because their demands were against the entire family, but also because they possessed the force—to put it bluntly, as long as an individual possessed enough power to resist the collective, rebellion was simply a matter of base number and probability.

This time, only the monks of the Zhendong Army rebelled. What about next time? If Yan Yu's relatives were harmed, would Yan Yu endure it and follow the rules, or would he do the same to Tutu's family?

If I was the one who got into trouble, would Zhaojiang also...

Li Minghu was terrified when he thought about it, so he suppressed his chaotic emotions and continued chatting with Yan Yu:
"I heard that the Sorcerer King is divided into two factions. The mainstream follows the Sorcerer King and wants to come to Lu Country, while the opposition believes that it would be more appropriate to seek opportunities in Tianzhu."

"This morning, the Annan army opened fire on the front line, attacking the sorcerers who had spontaneously assembled on the opposite side. It is said that they killed and injured about forty people."

"It's useless." Yan Yu shook his head. "The warfare strategy of modern weapons cannot restrain extraordinary people."

It's not that modern weapons can't kill transcendents, but rather a matter of detection and efficiency. For example, recent intelligence reports indicate that a Yin Mage can temporarily transform his body into a ghost, appearing as a transparent shadow to the naked eye, immune to physical damage, and invisible to cameras. He can then infiltrate the border and kill without being able to locate him. How can you counter this?

If science and technology are given enough time, we may be able to find more effective methods. Didn't we develop external storage devices for true energy in our previous lives, allowing mortal soldiers to use magic?

But the spiritual energy has only been revived for more than half a year, and we haven't even fully understood what kind of black magic the sorcerer on the opposite side has. We don't even know ourselves and the enemy, so there's no need to talk about how to deal with it.

"Indeed." Li Minghu sighed, "Nowadays, the only ones who can effectively kill extraordinary people are extraordinary people."

　Some readers have suggested that modern technology can counter transcendental beings, such as Dongfeng Express. This book's premise is that transcendental beings possess physical immunity, invisibility, and disguise, while modern technology can't even detect them. How can we counter them? I understand that some readers dislike this theme of cultists dominating technology, but the premise of my story is a story about a crumbling empire, and the protagonist must turn the tide and act impressively. The crumbling empire is just the backdrop; without it, how can I tell the story? If you insist, that cultists can't be cheated, and that modern technology must dominate the cultivators, then how can I tell the story? Furthermore, before I started writing the book, I promised everyone I wouldn't be politically charged. The best approach is "This is the author's setting, no explanations." But the problem is that if I don't explain, some people will think it's "irrational," and if I explain, it's just politically charged (long military set pieces are boring, aren't they?), and I'm stuck. Last time, in the Sanyu Treasure Ship Secret Realm, I wrote about Yan Yu riding a dragon and being pursued by the enemy. Then the editor told me not to write about that, got it? I deleted it all. Why isn't there Dongfeng Express? Because it can't have that. The theme of spiritual energy revival is like this. Only extraordinary people can fight extraordinary people. That's why it is set that cultivation overwhelms technology. I have my reasons. Please understand. The chat record has been sent to the v group. I am not lying. After seeing it, the book friends in the v group, please leave a message here (don't send the screenshot of the chat record) to help me prove it.
