Li Qingzhou’s expression shifted slightly as he pointed to the north, "The Demon Court’s?"
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "There is a deep sea within the East Sea that connects directly to the Netherworld River, and there is also a pathway from Luofu Mountain leading to the Taizhou Mountain’s earth veins, as well as one in the West Continent Buddha Country."
"To avoid attracting attention, I will later head to the East Sea, where the vast expanse and sparse population won’t draw much notice."
"..."
Li Qingzhou stared at him blankly. Apart from the path in the West Continent Buddha Country, he had never heard of the pathways in Luofu Mountain and the East Sea.
It seems the disciple has conducted quite extensive investigations during his ti downhill.
However...
"Very well, there are too many eyes at the Beizhili Ferry. I was previously concerned that the Taoists of the Yuhua Immortal Sect might be lying in ambush outside the ferry. This way, I can be at ease."
"But be cautious about the other two pathways as their conditions are unknown."
Chen Yi nodded and said, "Rest assured, Master. I would not joke with my own life."
"Then..."
"Afterward, I shall return to the sect. In Kyoto Prefecture, I have a doppelganger, and I will bid them farewell through it."
Li Qingzhou paused montarily and sighed inwardly. "Since you have already made your decision, then proceed in your own way."
"I have no other requests. I only hope that after you reach Taizhou Mountain, you will think more of the Human Race. Those fortresses are the culmination of thousands of years of effort and must not be lost."
Chen Yi nodded, suddenly thinking of the situation over there, and asked:
"Master, can you tell about what is happening there?"
"Of course, the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield consists of three fortresses: Heaven, Earth, and Human. They are strong cities built by our Human Race’s Great Powers during the dark years with their supre cultivation."
Li Qingzhou’s mind relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he began to narrate slowly:
"Based on the Three Talents Formation, each fortress has two ancestors stationed to form an offensive and defensive alliance against the Demon Court’s attacks."
"Within these three fortresses, there are thirty-five secret realms, and five ancient cave mansions left by ancient inheritances, where our Human Race cultivators can engage in secluded cultivation."
"It is noteworthy that the current cultivators guarding the fortresses, apart from those who ca from Tianyuan Continent, half are descendants of the seniors who have been stationed there for a thousand years. They hmm..."
Li Qingzhou seed to have thought of sothing, hesitated and said, "Their ideas differ slightly from ours. Moreover, born on Taizhou Mountain, their talents far exceed those of the Tianyuan Continent’s cultivators, and their ways of doing things are excessively aggressive."
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Master, are you worried I might be troubled by those people?"
"No, I am worried that you may not know your own strength and end up slaughtering them all," Li Qingzhou said seriously:
"Disciple, once you’re there, rember not to act impulsively."
"If anyone bullies you, you can find several ancestors to back you up, and the few seniors from our Grand Void Sect over there are not weak either. I believe they can provide you so shelter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi actually beca more assured about these so-called "prodigies."
Just like when he first t the Sword Obsession of Xunwang Heaven; placed in Taizhou Mountain, the Sword Obsession would be considered a prodigy, but compared to his own progress in the Sword Dao, it seed insignificant.
Those born and living within the Human Race’s fortresses may have superior talents, but they couldn’t possibly surpass him, perhaps not even comparable to the Sword Obsession.
If such "prodigies" do not co to trouble him, all will be well. But if they do... well, it will depend on his mood at the ti.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi cupped his hands and said, "I will rember, Master."
"The last and most important point is that the Demon Court currently continues to blockade our Human Race cultivators, with dozens of Great Demon Kings guarding the foot of Taizhou Mountain, preventing our cultivators from crossing the lines."
Li Qingzhou advised seriously, "At that ti, under no circumstances should you act recklessly. Rember, our Mu Qing Ancestor of Sword Edge Mountain died under the encirclent of many Great Demon Kings because of neglect."
Chen Yi nodded in comprehension.
However, he did not feel pressured regarding this. With his mastery of the Near and Far Divine Power and Slaughter Sword Dao, retaliating while besieged by dozens of Great Demon Kings might be difficult, but rely escaping shouldn’t even be a concern.
Oh, but not entirely—after all, the movent speed of the Fengyue Demon Emperor previously was almost on par with, or even slightly exceeded, his own.
"Furthermore..."
Half a day later.
Chen Yi’s voice spread across the seventeen states of the Wei Dynasty:
"This Marquis acknowledges the severity of his sins. After the grand event concludes, I shall self-impose isolation at Sword Edge Mountain for a period of three... five years!"
...
anwhile, in Kyoto Prefecture.
When Chen Yi’s voice reached the Qu Pond, the crowd watching the fierce arena battles was all astonished.
"Lord Heroic Marquis imposes isolation on himself at the Grand Void Sect? Did he really..."
"It seems the downfall of the Yuhua Immortal Sect greatly impacted him, even if he went there personally."
"But didn’t he say earlier there was conclusive evidence?"
"You fool! Even with evidence, how could he just obliterate the entire Yuhua Immortal Sect without facing criticism from the Imperial Court and other Taoists?"
"Not to ntion, even the Holy Emperor would have a headache, no matter how much he values Heroic Marquis, it might be hard to shield him this ti."
"But soone as upright as Lord Heroic Marquis, would he truly compromise?"
Emperor Wei and others exchanged glances, all frowning, unable to fathom why Chen Yi would do sothing like this.
Self-imposing isolation at Sword Edge Mountain for five years isn’t too long and doesn’t affect the subsequent contests between the younger generations of the Human Race and Demon Court.
But this decision seems a bit too abrupt...
"Great Master, do you know why Heroic Marquis does this?"
