Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

"But those guards are not simple guards!"

Li Yongnian's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said, "I just arranged for someone to follow them. Where are they now?"

It was the middle-aged man just now who replied in a low voice: "It's even more embarrassing. Now we have no idea where those guards are?"

The head of the Li family frowned: "Lost?"

There was something wrong with his tone, revealing some dissatisfaction.

The Li family is also one of the best families in Yong'en City.

Their family has thrived in Yong'en City for more than tens of thousands of years, and is considered deeply rooted and powerful.

Being able to lose someone under their noses made the head of the Li family feel a little shameless.

Li Yongnian said: "I think it's normal to lose track."

"Because they are not guards at all!"

"Not guards?" The head of the Li family looked at Li Yongnian doubtfully, "Then they are?"

Li Yongnian whispered: "If I guessed correctly, they should be from the military headquarters of Chu State."

"Chu State Military Headquarters!" The head of the Li family was shocked, and even the other Li family members in the room took a breath of cold air.

"Yongnian, don't be joking!"

The head of the Li family said to Li Yongnian seriously.

Li Yongnian smiled bitterly and said: "This is just my speculation."

The head of the Li family asked: "Then how did you deduce it?"

Li Yongnian smiled and said: "The moment they left Yunzhou, their eyes when they looked at the surrounding environment were not the eyes that a guard should have."

"Their eyes are full of ruthlessness, coldness, and cruelty..."

"When they looked at those houses, the first thing they paid attention to was the warrior hidden in the dark corner."

"When I looked at those warriors, I first aimed at their throats, hearts, heads and other places."

"With such gazes, they are either veterans who have killed many people on the battlefield, or they are notorious killers!"

"But no matter which one they are, they are all the kind of characters who kill without blinking an eye."

Li Yongnian is responsible for guarding the Li family's magic circle in Yong'en City all year round.

As long as he takes a look at the warriors passing by on Yunzhou, most of them can tell their origins and identities.

Even some warriors who were deeply hidden were invisible to Li Yongnian.

"Secondly."

"When they left the square, they didn't leave in a group."

"But it's very orderly, with five people in groups and ten people in teams. They trust each other and be careful around them."

When Li Yongnian said this, the head of the Li family sighed, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "You can tell at a glance...this is definitely a warrior born in the military."

"That should be correct."

"They are members of the Chu State's military."

The whole room suddenly fell into silence.

Including Li Yongnian, no one spoke, and everyone looked at the head of the Li family.

"Master, it's time to make a decision."

Li Yongnian said suddenly after a while.

He continued: "The civil war in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect was first instigated by Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley. The Seven Nights Divine Sect, Fantian Sect, and Baitian Sect have already announced their participation in the war."

"A few days ago, the battle between the disciples of the Fantian Sect and the disciples of the Chunyang Sect took place at the Sun Moon Lake. Hundreds of thousands of disciples died. It is said that the entire lake was dyed with blood."

"The combined forces of the Baitian Sect and the Seven Nights Divine Sect fought deep in the Qingyun Mountains and almost razed the entire mountain range to the ground."

"Although the civil war has not spread to the territory of the Qinglian Sect, and the Qinglian Sect has not publicly stated that it will participate in the civil war,... we all know that this war is inevitable."

"Sooner or later the war will affect our Yongen City."

Li Yongnian suddenly became excited and said to the head of the Li family: "Now is the time to make a decision. Should we support the Seven Nights Sect to quell the rebellion in the territory? Or should we support the Chunyang Sect and Phoenix Valley to defeat the surviving Seven Nights Sect!"

The head of the Li family had gloomy eyes and said to Li Yongnian: "The Seven Nights Sect, Fantian Sect, and Worshiping Sect have little chance of winning. But supporting Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect is tantamount to supporting Northern Territory and Jiuyou Demon Palace. In this way How can I, the Li family, do such treasonous things?"

A member of the Li family said: "Seven Nights Divine Sect does not necessarily have a low chance of winning, and supporting Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect does not necessarily mean supporting Northern Territory and Jiuyou Demon Palace..."

"Bullshit!" The head of the Li family glared at the tribesman and scolded him coldly: "How long has it been since you are still playing with these word tricks?"

"What we have to do now is to have an attitude."

"Either support the Seven Nights Divine Sect, or support the Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect!"

Li Yongnian smiled and said: "You are the head of the family, you make the decision. No matter what decision you make, our tribe will support you."

Other members of the Li family also echoed: "Yes, we will all support you."

The head of the Li family suddenly became much shorter, as if the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

After a brief silence, the head of the Li family looked at Lin Bai and Li Yongnian reflected on the screen and said, "Let's go meet these two people from the Chu military first. They must have come with a mission." of."

The Li family finally reached a consensus.

…

After a while.

While Lin Bai and Chu Zimo were drinking and chatting in the private room, Li Yongnian walked out with the head of the Li family and several core elders of the Li family.

"I've met...two adults!"

After the head of the Li family walked in, he raised his hands respectfully and greeted Lin Bai and Chu Zimo with the courtesy of the Chu Kingdom.

"oops."

"The play is finally over."

Lin Bai pushed the woman in his arms away, his face returned to a cold look, and said: "Let them go out, let's talk formally."

Chu Zimo had just become interested, but unexpectedly saw Lin Bai pushing away the woman in his arms, and he had no choice but to do so reluctantly.

The head of the Li family waved for these women to leave first.

He did not sit down, but stood respectfully beside him like a servant.

The head of the Li family said with a flattering smile on his face: "May I ask you two adults... Are you from the Chu State military? What is your position? What mission did you receive when you came to the territory of our Seven Nights Divine Sect?"

Lin Bai turned back and asked in a cold voice: "Yong'en City is a large city within the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect. Even if your Li family cannot compare with the power of the top sects, you can still be considered outstanding among small and medium-sized families."

"Instead, I want to ask you what the Li family's attitude is?"

Lin Bai stared at the head of the Li family and asked in a questioning tone: "The Seven Nights Divine Sect's civil war has begun. The Seven Nights Divine Sect has issued an order to attack Phoenix Valley and Chunyang Sect. It seems that your Li family and Yong'en City are still indifferent?"

Lin Bai chose to settle down temporarily in Yong'en City because he actually wanted to know what the situation inside the Seven Nights Sect was like.

The situation in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect is extremely complicated, and behind the internal fighting in the territory are the shadows of the Northern Territory and the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Even if a war is to begin, Lin Bai must first know... who is their enemy? How many enemies do they have?
