Capítulo 1304: Chapter 10: Moonlit Decapitation (Part 2)

A Temple Shaman questioned.

“Cangmu Shaman, forgive my bluntness, but if we keep dragging this out, we won’t need to worry about casualties; our people won’t be able to hold on much longer. By then, we’ll have to continue depleting the Power of Faith from the Divine Mountain and the National Fortune of our Grassland Royal Court!”

“Yes, if we don’t seize the moment to act while everyone is still in good condition, when will we?”

Several Clan Leaders chimed in one after another.

The Temple Shaman named Cangmu frowned at them.

He knew that the reason these Clan Leaders were so eager was not that they were worried about Mingdu City not being defended, but that they were concerned about their own interests being harmed.

Although the six major cities had been abandoned, they could still be reclaimed.

However, the longer the delay, the greater the losses.

Moreover, the citizens under these clans were scattered across the Grassland, now blockaded by Li Fei within the city, inevitably causing concern over whether their clan members would be targeted by the Da Lan Dynasty.

Yet, no one would openly voice such thoughts.

Every statement made appeared noble, seemingly for the greater good and for the Grassland!

Cangmu couldn’t expose or refute these people.

Without Qilian Guanshi and Tuoba Shanhai, they couldn’t suppress these great clans by themselves.

In the Royal Palace, a Minister brought an order from the new Khan, Suhe Renhe.

Regarding the decision on Li Fei, it was finally made—

Outside Mingdu City, the bright night light cast the city’s shadow on the ground.

Li Fei was enveloped in this shadow.

The night wind blew, the grass swayed like waves, and the sound of insects was endless.

Li Fei sat cross-legged, holding the Thousand Mechanism Shadowless Silk in his hand, chatting with someone:

“How’s the recovery from your injuries?”

“Pretty good.”

“Are you sure there’s no problem? No long-term effects?”

“Don’t worry, really no problem, maybe just one or two years to fully recover.”

“That’s good.”

“I heard you’re blocking the Royal City on the Grassland all by yourself?”

“You knew?”

“Not only did I know, but the entire Martial World and even the entire Da Lan Dynasty are talking about it; you’ve once again become the center of attention.”

“Haha.”

“Qilian Guanshi is not simple. If you’re attacked by several peak-level opponents again this time, I might not be able to save you again.”

“Don’t worry, Li Ming is already dead. At most, Qilian Guanshi can contact one Ming River Ancestor, plus a few experts from the Western Continent. Even if I can’t win, I can still retreat safely.”

“What if there are three peak-level opponents?”

“Where would Qilian Guanshi find a third peak-level fighter? The Buddhist side is guarded by Marshal Wenren; is he going to find ‘Demon Spear’ Tian Youpeng?”

Li Fei’s expression was relaxed.

‘Demon Spear’ Tian Youpeng is the last of the Three Demons, originally an assassin.

From being a low-level assassin, he climbed step by step to the peak of Martial Arts, undoubtedly a legendary story.

“Marshal Wenren and Tian Youpeng made a pact; as long as Marshal Wenren is around, Tian Youpeng cannot assassinate anyone from the Da Lan Dynasty.”

Li Fei revealed a secret known only to the higher-ups of the Da Lan Dynasty.

“Oh? Such a thing exists.”

“Tian Youpeng’s Taoism is related to killing. Back then, he assassinated seven Grandmasters; with this achievement, he managed to Breakthrough and become a Saint.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about this.”

Tian Youpeng is labeled as an Evil Demon not only because he is a Demonic Martial Artist but also because of his wild past deeds.

Assassinating seven Grandmasters, each one a significant figure, once led to the entire Martial World hunting him down and being wanted by the court!

Tian Youpeng narrowly escaped multiple pursuits, surviving purely by luck, eventually Breaking through and Becoming a Saint.

“Shortly after his breakthrough, Yun Shu True Monarch discovered his location, and Marshal Wenren personally took action and blocked him.”

“Wenren Zheng didn’t kill him?”

“Indeed, I don’t know the exact reason, but they made a pact. Since then, Tian Youpeng hasn’t killed anyone from the Da Lan Dynasty.”

Li Fei shared this Da Lan Dynasty secret with Ning Qingman.

Trust was one aspect.

On the other hand, he believed Ning Qingman would keep the secret.

“I heard before that ‘Demon Spear’ had some connection with the Wenren Family; it seems the rumors were true.”

Ning Qingman said.

Li Fei: “He was indeed lucky.”

Daring to openly challenge the order of this world, there must be a price to pay.

Otherwise, why would Ming River Ancestor scheme in the shadows for years, with only a top-tier Yin Soul in the Nether River?

Li Ming wanted to complete his Taoism, also took years laying out plans, under the guise of Grassland people, to challenge Ying Jie.

Tian Youpeng dared to consecutively assassinate seven Grandmasters, even if fortunate enough to escape pursuit and successfully Breakthrough to become a Martial Saint.

So what?

He was still cornered by Wenren Zheng!

If Wenren Zheng hadn’t let him go back then, the Three Demons wouldn’t exist today.

It was precisely because of this cause and effect that Li Fei was not worried about Qilian Guanshi bringing ‘Demon Spear’ around now.

“In fact, I even think Tian Youpeng might stand with us.”

Li Fei said.

“Oh?”

“His Taoism is related to killing, and he broke through by assassinating martial artists of the same realm. Now, if he wants to go further, he can only assassinate peak-level experts.”

“He can’t kill peak-level experts from the Da Lan Dynasty, and he doesn’t dare kill those from the Buddhist and Taoist sects. The remaining ones, Lin Tianyi is out of the question, leaving only you, the Pavilion Master of Red Dust Pavilion, and the other two Demons.”

“The other two Demons are always elusive. Over the years, Tian Youpeng has never attempted against you or the Pavilion Master of Red Dust Pavilion, implying he’s not confident. Now, for him, the only relatively sure chance is the newly Broken-field Qilian Guanshi. Moreover, Qilian Guanshi’s whereabouts are quite clear – right here in Mingdu City.”
