Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Bai Xingling's fur suddenly stood on end, which made Houtu laugh.

Houtu raised her hand, her sleeve covering the lower half of her face, but her slightly upturned eyebrows still betrayed her.

"That kid from Fengdu needs to find more beauties."

Houtu thought to herself.

There weren't enough people or enough scenes; how could she possibly enjoy it?

Houtu also loved watching a good show, and now she just felt that the scene was still too small.

“Jun Su, you don’t really understand the principles of the Five Elements.”

Although Bai Xingling was furious, this situation actually made her brain start to activate rapidly.

The demon tyrant has started playing mind games again.

"Yes, but Senior Xuanyuan needs to cultivate."

Li Junsu nodded slightly. He himself was not very proficient in this area, but Senior Xuanyuan was also very busy, so he had to teach them.

"but..."

Bai Xingling looked at Lü Yiru and suddenly smiled.

“Xuanyuan Bai is also a good candidate.”

"As the Emperor's sword, which is also engraved with various great principles, she will be the best teacher for the Heart Ornaments."

Bai Xingling flicked her tail, crossed her arms, and opened her mouth with a smile.

Looking at Bai Xingling's appearance, Yu Qingzhu wished she could tear her apart.

But she didn't move.

Because there's a slight gap between her and Bai Xingling.

Is she free?

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu paused for a moment, then nodded and asked in return.

"Of course, the calamities of the rivers are now teaching Huyan Ning a lesson."

"Because Gonggong returned to the earth's veins, she was even more excited and even set off fireworks."

"Xuanyuan Bai is quite free right now."

Bai Xingling scratched her head and replied.

There was really not much affection between the river disaster and Gonggong.

It was sealed away as soon as it was created, so it's no wonder it has no feelings.

If it weren't for the difference in strength, Gonggong might have been the first person to be devoured by the heavenly soldiers.

Perhaps then Si Qiqing wouldn't be so shameful.

"so..."

After hearing this, Li Junsu looked at Hua Chaowu in his arms.

Hua Chaowu stiffened, then looked at Bai Xingling, secretly glaring at her, giving her a knowing look.

Seeing this, Bai Xingling just smiled coldly.

She'll have plenty of ways to teach those guys a lesson later.

Her reputation as a tyrant among demons was well-deserved.

Bai Xingling even looked at Lü Yiru provocatively.

His eyes conveyed a clear meaning; wasn't he quite good at putting on an act?

Keep pretending.

Lu Yiru suddenly smiled, looking at Bai Xingling with a radiant smile.

Bai Xingling's heart skipped a beat when she saw that smile.

"Jun Su... Cultivating the Five Elements Dao with the Emperor's sword can indeed help us improve our cultivation."

"But... the Human Emperor's Five Elements Dao and the Myriad Spirits Dao complement each other."

"When we want to align with your martial arts style, it will probably be quite a hassle."

"How about... you and we work together to improve? That way, when we achieve great success in our cultivation, we can directly support each other and our path to enlightenment will be clear."

Lu Yiru spoke in a soft and gentle tone, but her gaze toward Bai Xingling carried a hint of the majesty of an empress.

She has been scheming against other spirits in the Seven Emotions Illusionary Realm for many years.

This big white cat is far from being able to subdue her.

She used the excuse that Jun Su valued serious matters most to try and outdo her?

Okay, then she'll use the Great Way to achieve maximum effect with minimal effort.

"Alright, you can start cultivating with me."

As expected, Li Junsu readily agreed.

The Protoss's suggestion is good, but Yiru's suggestion is even better.

If it's official business, then naturally it's best to assign it to whoever is more skilled.

Laymen shouldn't give advice to experts. A junior leader who can guarantee this is guaranteed to have a secure position without any problems.

But martial arts is not a public duty; for Li Junsu, what suits him best is the most important thing.

His Five Elements Dao may later merge with the death energy, and the Heart Ornament itself can also absorb the death energy.

It is indeed best for the spirit soldiers to cultivate under his guidance.

Prince An's view was simple: he addressed the matter objectively, without any personal feelings involved.

But Houtu laughed.

Seeing Bai Xingling's eyes turn red in an instant, and Lu Yiru's smug smile, she felt she needed to urge Fengdu to find more beauties.

Bai Xingling's eyes immediately turned red, not from crying, but from anger.

She was furious, her eyes red with anger, and she wished she could tear Lü Yiru apart right then and there.

However, Bai Xingling quickly regained her composure.

She's right.

Bai Xingling spoke in a deep voice, "Lu Yiru is right. What's most important is that it helps Jun Su."

"but..."

“Jun Su, the White Tiger Clan is skilled in killing and also understands the Way of Metal Spirit. I can teach Lü Yiru with you.”

Bai Xingling looked at Lü Yiru and spoke with a half-smile.

Did Lü Yiru think she could escape?

She could absolutely teach her together with Junsu.

Even after being instructed, it's normal for someone to sometimes be a little rough with their hands, right?

Moreover, it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten. Focusing on one person is the right approach, and in this way, others might become your allies.

Lu Yiru felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the large white cat staring intently at her.

It’s over.

"I think it's okay."

“Jun Su, Xing Ling is a member of the White Tiger Clan, one of the Four Symbols of Heaven.”

"She herself is in harmony with heaven and earth, making her very suitable to teach Yiru."

As expected, Hua Chaowu spoke first.

"I think so too, and the killing intent of the White Tiger Clan is most suitable for Yiru."

Yu Qingzhu also spoke up.

For them, Lü Yiru was just as threatening as Bai Xingling.

Since that's the case, why not let the two of them fight it out?

They are not the ones who suffer losses; in fact, they can even achieve two goals at once.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Celestial Spirit."

Li Junsu was completely unaware of their back-and-forth banter, and even thought that their relationship was really good.

If the relationship wasn't good, how could someone be so concerned about the other's martial arts?

"Pfft."

Houtu finally couldn't hold back any longer and chuckled softly.

In her eyes, Jun Su had become even more adorable.

This is just a filter; if Li Yinian did this, he would be considered brainless.

Li Qingfeng would only whip them harder.

But if Li Junsu were to do this, it would be considered naive.

Besides one's face, one's usual image is also very important.

Houtu knew how focused Jun Su was on cultivation; he would usually come to her as soon as he finished his official duties.

So when she suddenly saw Jun Su's reaction, she felt that his bewilderment was tinged with a touch of cuteness.

After all, the other party is indeed busy usually. If it were Li Yinian... oh, no one would be jealous of Li Yinian, so it's fine.

Zhen Min is speechless with him now; she's practically raising him like a son.

Anyway, she raised Junhao when she was a child, so she's used to it.

Houtu's smile drew everyone's attention.

"senior?"

Li Junsu was somewhat puzzled.

Bai Xingling and Lü Yiru blushed.

It's not that they're shy.

Neither of them felt shy in front of outsiders.

It's really inappropriate for outsiders to see such an embarrassing thing at home.

"It's alright, come on, let's continue our cultivation."

"I'll teach you a lesson."

Houtu waved her hand, lowered her sleeves, and with the smile still lingering in her eyes, she steered the conversation back on track.

"Come on, I'll teach you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xingling interlaced her fingers and pushed outwards, making a cracking sound as her bones snapped, causing Lü Yiru to take two steps back.

At this moment, in Lü Yiru's eyes, Bai Xingling looked exactly like a shrew.

......

Lingnan, the land of the Jiuli people

While martial arts "instruction" was being conducted at the Prince An's residence, the Jiuli tribe's territory was also bustling with activity.

"You guys are really disappointing, just like back in the day."

While lingering around the two barbarian generals, Fei Lian began to lecture the young Jiuli tribesmen.

Fei Lian focused his attention on Li Yun, who was in charge.

"Especially you, as the clan leader, your strength is actually..."

Fei Lian became more and more confident in himself as he spoke, and ran up to Li Yun, starting to talk eloquently.

"what!"

The next instant, Li Yun grabbed Fei Lian and threw her away.

Feilian suddenly flew out, flapping its wings in mid-air to avoid crashing directly into the tree trunk.

"Hey you!"

Fei Lian panicked.

The two barbarian generals lowered their heads helplessly, unsure whether to laugh or not.

Li Yun simply lowered her head, appearing obedient as if she hadn't done anything.

"Boss!"

Feilian flew directly to the side of a ferocious forging furnace.

The forging furnace was enormous and adorned with ferocious dragon patterns from ancient times.

The master of war began to refine the materials, making them more pure.

"Don't tease them."

"After you've mastered my techniques, then you can teach them."

Bingzhu raised his head from the forge and looked at Feilian with a smile.

This little guy loves to point fingers and criticize, but he's too lazy to cultivate.

The Jiuli people only respect the strong, and her strength was enough for the ordinary people in the tribe.

But he was still a bit lacking when facing Li Yun.

Li Yun has great talent. Although his potential is not as high as that of the two barbarian generals, in the eyes of the warlord, he is qualified to be among the top.

His identity is what limits him.

He needed to protect the Jiuli tribe's territory and had no time to go out and fight powerful enemies.

This prevented his talent from being fully realized.

This is not his problem.

In order to protect his people, he gave up the opportunity to become stronger, which earned him the admiration of the warlord.

He planned to bring Li Yun along for the battle in the Western Regions, so that he could break through to the next level.

If the Western Regions' military strength is not strong enough, they can also turn their guns on the Xuanyuan Clan.

If he feels no threat, then there's no need for the Xuanyuan tribe to intervene.

The Western Regions are the perfect battlefield; this opportunity is too good to miss.

The warlord burst into laughter at the thought of how terrified the Xuanyuan clan would be, and how he would beat them up.

Feilian was startled when he saw his boss laughing for no reason.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Why are you laughing for no reason?

Fei Lian quickly asked.

"Hmph, I laugh at Xuanyuan's lack of strategy and Xuan Nu's lack of wisdom."

"At that time, our army will charge straight at them and see how terrified they will be."

Bingzhu briefly explained his thoughts, and Feilian's eyes lit up.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Fei Lian quickly praised him.

This wasn't really a scheme; Fei Lian simply wanted to watch the show and praised his own leader first.

The warlord smiled, picked out the refined and forged Star Essence Crystal, his eyes gleaming.

Star Crystal, a condensation of an entire galaxy.

This stuff is used to forge celestial soldiers; at the very least, it has to be top-tier.

This time, the soldiers will use it as an auxiliary material.

A sword forged from Star Crystal can borrow the power of the Milky Way to suppress the ways of all spirits.

Or rather... the power to contain all spirits.

Since the goal is to create weapons specifically for targeting the Xuanyuan clan, the materials used must be chosen to suppress them.

Just as the Lord of War was pondering, the two barbarian generals were instructing their people, and Feilian was looking forward to the start of the grand show, the sky above the land of the Jiuli tribe changed.

Blood energy rose from the ground, instantly staining the sky and earth red.

The ground beneath their feet turned blood red, and the sky was filled with a thick aura of blood.

It's like a giant ruby ​​set in the sky.

This gem reflects the figure of the soldier below, as well as the figures of the two barbarian generals and Fei Lian.

Finally...in the center, there are the figures belonging to the army of the War God.

Boom!

A crimson thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky.

As lightning struck, the figures of the Jiuli army slowly solidified.

Or rather... the Nine Li personal guards belonging to the Lord of War are slowly emerging into the world.

The moment this massive army appeared, the bloodthirsty aura they carried made the world even more crimson.

They uniformly raised their weapons slightly, then slammed the ends of their spears directly into the ground.

The entire clan territory was shaken.

"The eight directions and the six realms!"

"May our leader live forever!"

"The eight directions and the six realms!"

"May the Jiuli people live on forever!"

The moment the imperial guards appeared, they unleashed a reign of terror.

Literally, it means to stir up a storm of blood and gore.

As the soldiers' strength began to slowly recover, the warlord's gaze became even more intense, and a hearty laugh rang out from beneath his mask.

"Xuanyuan, we still have a chance to compete."

The warlord murmured to himself.

......

Xuanyuan Palace

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is here, beginning to peruse books.

What she was reading were the military strategies of later generals.

She had too many ideas she hadn't had time to implement, so she wanted to see how these generals who had put military strategy into practice performed on the battlefield.

"I knew that flooding the army would be effective."

As the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden watched Bai Qi conquer and destroy the Chu capital of Ying, a smile appeared on her face.

But her smile quickly faded.

Many of her ideas were rejected by the Xuanyuan clan.

The difference lies in the opponents.

The Jiuli people can withstand floods and even walk on flat ground during floods.

Flooding the country with water won't work on them.

When Yinglong unleashed a great storm, he was nearly chased and beaten by the two barbarian generals.

As for meteorites from outer space or meteorite iron inscribed with formations, their effects are minimal.

The Jiuli tribe was able to withstand this kind of explosion.

It's not even about taking the hits head-on; it's that they genuinely can't be hurt.

The only effective tactic is using dense fog in conjunction with formations to confuse them.

We can only use soft tactics, not hard tactics.

"Golden juice..."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden continued her research on the golden liquid.

If the Xuanyuan army were to be reflected, given the personalities of these warriors, they would likely be more than willing to trade their lives for a chance to annoy the Jiuli warriors.

After all, it's incredibly satisfying to escape with your life and also get your enemy killed.

These soldiers are not afraid of death.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Ba ​​had a strange expression on her face.

Why is Sister Xuan Nu so interested in this kind of thing?

Is it worth turning yourself into a pervert just to disgust people?

As I pondered, a primordial aura swept across the square.

Pale golden clouds spread out.

A gentle breeze came, and all the creatures leaped with joy.

The next moment, the figures of the Xuanyuan warriors, clad in golden armor and equipped with luxurious and imposing gear, gradually came into focus.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was overjoyed upon seeing this and immediately stood up.

She knew that this was the Imperial Dynasty's preparation for the war in the Western Regions.

Since the Xuanyuan army has been reflected, the Jiuli tribe must have also appeared in the world.

Her plan to make the "golden juice" has great potential.

Xuanyuan Ba ​​took two steps back.

She was a little scared.
