C47

Silence.

Hong Yu tightly held his breath, held his breath, and stood still with unsteady steps. His ears perked up to listen for any movement, waiting for the Hundred Bone Devil Sect's crossbow hands to rush in and kill them. Then, he took the opportunity to escape.

The combination of the Crossbow of God's Arm and the Evil Breaking Talisman was just too powerful. With his current strength, there was no way he could block it.

According to the legend, the reason why the Imperial Court exterminated the martial arts sects and turned the outer sect into a sect without any problems was because they relied on the God Arm Crossbow. The hundred thousand soldiers all held the God Arm Crossbow in their hands as they shot out talismans and arrows at the same time.

He never thought that the Hundred Bone Devil Sect would actually be able to get a killing weapon like the God Arm Crossbow, and even used on him.

"Haha, boy, you must be scared. Right now, beg for your life and obediently give me all of your secrets. Perhaps I can even leave you with an intact corpse." The Ironbone Envoy unrestrainedly laughed, his voice like the tearing of a bellows. It was sharp and harsh. After being pierced by the war god's spear, even his aura weakened.

He was secretly anxious, only now did he realize that the flaw of his mansion was too great. With two people fighting, there was not a single person that was able to cause such a huge commotion, so it could be seen that his drastic efforts to reform the mansion in the past few days had not been effective, as there were still many people who were looking forward to his death in the dark.

It was very quiet.

The atmosphere was tense.

The great battle of life and death was about to begin.

The two of them were on guard against each other.

Suddenly, a person appeared in the arena without a sound.

It was actually Jiang Li Shuo.

She held a sword in one hand and four or five heads in the other. They were all bloody, and her snow-white dress fluttered in the wind. It was truly a shocking sight to behold.

"Just who did you offend? When I sneaked in, I saw four or five experts holding Divine Arms Crossbows, intending to kill you.

Jiang Lisha sized up the two people in the room, and immediately guessed what was going on. Looking at the fierce and threatening iron bone envoy, he had a playful smile on his face. "This person is not simple. Do you need my help?"

Hong Yu was immediately overjoyed when he saw Jiang Li Shuo's sudden appearance. He knew that his savior had arrived, but he had never expected Jiang Li Shuo to be so elusive and give him such a pleasant surprise as soon as he appeared.

Looking at the bloody head in her hand, combined with her words, how could Hong Yu not know the truth?

He sneered as he looked at that Ironbone Envoy. He slowly shook his head. "There's no need. I alone am enough to deal with him."

After he finished speaking, he gripped the War God's Spear and strode towards the Steel-Bone Envoy.

The Steel-Emissary's expression suddenly changed as his face turned deathly pale. He had originally thought that he would be able to kill this person with the ambush of an expert.

He did not expect that another expert would appear out of nowhere, so silently that he did not even notice it. Looking at the head in Jiang Li Shuo's hands, he could not help but feel his soul leave his body, and all the crossbows that he had laid in ambush for were destroyed, even his head was chopped off.

"Don't, don't kill me. "I am a person from the Hundred Bones Demon Sect. If you kill me, the Hundred Bones Demon Sect will be furious and the school head will also ask about this. At that time, it will be impossible for you to escape." The Ironbone Envoy trembled in pain as the wounds on his body tore apart. He had lost too much blood, so he had already lost the ability to continue fighting. He couldn't even escape.

Hong Yu sneered. His long black hair danced wildly as he approached the Ironbone Envoy step by step. He turned a deaf ear to this person's threats and instead became even more determined to kill. The edge of the War God's Spear shone in the moonlight outside the window, revealing a cold light.

He raised his hand and the War God's Spear moved like lightning.

"Sssii!"

After the body was torn apart, the steel-like person unwillingly opened his eyes wide and rolled his head on the ground. His mountain-like body struggled violently before falling to the ground.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Hong Yu let out a long sigh of relief. His entire body relaxed as he sent a grateful look towards Jiang Li Shuo: "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd be in danger today."

"There's no need to be courteous, you've also saved me once. Just treat it as us even." He frowned: "I had wanted to congratulate you on opening the house, and for the sake of discussing cooperation with you, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen the moment we entered, your house is in ruins and your servants are all trash with malicious intents. Such a big commotion, no one was disturbed, if I did not coincidentally meet you, I'm afraid it would have been dangerous."

Hong Yu saw that she was carrying a human head and could not help but nod her head as if nothing had happened. She knew that this woman was a decisive killer, and her intelligence was monstrous, so she agreed with her words: "You're right, I've already found the flaw, after all, my foundation is shallow, and I don't have a foolproof plan. I'll have to clean up the manor and reduce the number of people we have to use."

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply." Jiang Lisha looked around, then pointed to the corpse on the ground with a playful smile on his face: "Your so-called rectification is useless, just a warning to the snake. Besides, with your family's finances, you won't even be able to last half a year and you'll be out of hundreds and thousands of holes. Besides, do you think your enemies will give you half a year to grow? The people of the Hundred Bone Devil Sect were the proof. If I hadn't appeared today, the news of your death would have spread throughout the imperial court tomorrow. "

"Then what do you think I should do?" Hong Yu could not deny. He knew that she still had more to say.

I can give you ten million banknotes for your mansion's development. I can also give you eighty experts of the 3rd level of the Mortal realm, and there will even be ten perfect Mortal realm experts and a powerful warrior of the Spirit realm. Jiang Li Shuo opened his mouth. A bright light shone in his eyes, as if he was trying to seduce him.

"What are the conditions?" I don't believe that there's such a good thing in the world. " Hong Yu shook his head. He was not enticed by the temptation and was instead secretly vigilant.

In his eyes, Jiang Li Shuo was not a kind person. He would not do something selfless or selfless. The two of them were working together, but in reality, they each took what they needed.

Ten million banknotes was indeed not a small amount of money and it could probably support the operation of the mansion for two years. With fifty people at the 3rd level of the Mortal realm, ten experts at the perfect realm, and one expert at the Spirit realm, even the residences of some old princes did not have this kind of lineup.

Especially a warrior of the Spirit realm, it made Hong Yu quite scared.

Over the years of reforming the military system, the status and treatment of the soldiers had greatly increased. Once the lower status of the soldiers had been changed, a single person would become a soldier, and the entire family would be exempted from taxation. Their status would even be higher than that of a scholar.

The entire country was in the prime of their martial arts, and the people were strong. They did not grow extravagant because of the peace of the world, and they were not tired of fighting, but instead had a strong desire for war, because when war appeared, there would be a lot of military merits that could be salvaged. It was not impossible for Feng Hou to become a general, and even if he died on the battlefield, he would still receive a generous pension, and the families of the martyrs would also be exempt from three generations of taxes.

A martial artist at the Third level of the Mortal Realm, even if he joined the army, he would at least be a centurion.

As for reaching the Great Circle of the Mortal Realm, that was a thousand-man commander in the army. With over a thousand men under his command, his status was extremely high. Even the local officials would have to treat him politely if they saw him.

Once one entered the Spirit realm, it would be impressive. Even experts that only gave birth to one or two Earth Terminus Aura would be extraordinary. They would be able to lead tens of thousands of people and it would also be normal for them to pay their respects in front of their tents.

Because of this, the truly powerful warriors didn't want to be the guards of their homes. Not to mention the fact that they had to show their faces every month, they would always be slaves, far from being glorious enough to join the army.

A truly wealthy family would nurture their guards and servants, and train them since childhood. From generation to generation, experts would be groomed and provided with resources, and it would usually take two to three generations for them to achieve any results.

Hong Yu's sudden rise to prominence had caused the absence of experts in his hands, the lack of protection from the mansion's guards, and the intrusion of assassins into the mansion as though there was no one around. Right now, if he wanted to recruit experts, the chances were slim. Even if he could recruit experts to protect the yard, the price would be terrifying. Furthermore, it wouldn't be enough to protect his loyalty.

But now, Jiang Lisha had killed eighty Mortal Realm warriors in one strike. How amazing was his foundation?

However, Hong Yu also knew that the Realm of Flame Heaven was passed down from the ancient Heavenly Passage Paradise. In reality, it was equivalent to a prefecture of Great Flood City. It ruled over millions of people.

Seeing the unfocused look in Hong Yu's eyes, Jiang Li Shuo smiled lightly and thought for a while, "Do you have a choice now? I heard that during the Martial Competition, you killed twenty-eight people, offended the eighth prince, the thirteenth prince, and the expert of the Hundred Bone Devil Sect whom you killed.

"That's fine too, we can make a deal. The mansion has no guards, so it's as good as stretching out your neck for someone to kill. I'm not afraid of the eighth or thirteenth brothers, they wouldn't dare to do anything under the Emperor's nose. The main thing is that the Hundred Bones Demon Sect behind Old 28 is killed, and now that I have killed their leader, Liang Zijian is in a rage, and they are all Demon Owls who kill without regard for the consequences of their actions. Hong Yu thought for a moment and immediately agreed.

"Great!" Don't worry, I definitely don't have any bad intentions towards you. At least, right now, we are still in a cooperative relationship, and there will be no lack of recognition between the two of us, so there will be no problems. You are the son of the Hong Wu Emperor, and you have even obtained the position of a duke, with unlimited potential.

Hong Yu put away the War God's Spear and slowly paced around the room. He thought of many things, "Let's not talk about this for now. Who knows what will happen in the future? You are experienced and knowledgeable, do you know what exactly Five-Colored Earth is? "

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Jiang Lisha was surprised.

"It's nothing. It's just that when royal father summoned me, he mentioned this item." Hong Yu blinked his eyes and randomly panicked.

"What?" Had the Great Emperor really mentioned the Five-Colored Mud? "Legend has it that the Five-Colored Land is the Divine Land, and exists only in the Divine Kingdom. It covers the entire Divine Kingdom, and when a mustard seed is taken out, it can cut down the seas and fill the rivers. There is even a legend that after my ancestor became a Martial God, he used Five-Colored Earth, Spirit Dew, and a True Martial Seal to bestow upon his descendants." "Could it be that the Hongwu Emperor has reached such a level? With the authority over the Heavenly Dao and the Gods, he can create a Genuine Force Seal?"

"I don't know about that, but since royal father meditated on the Heaven's Expanse Palace, he was able to train in the art of pursuing the gods, so his cultivation might not necessarily be at this level. No one can say for sure. "

He was afraid that the secret would be discovered so he quickly changed the topic, "Oh right, let's talk about the important matter. Leave the matters of my house to Little Chun Zi, you can send your people over to directly meet him. He has already reached the great circle of the Mortal realm, if you have time, you can give him a few pointers and help him break through to the Spirit realm."

I have to quickly inform the ancestors in the holy abode that if the Hongwu Emperor really manages to grasp the secret of creating a True Martial Seal, then the power of the imperial government will probably develop to a terrifying level in the future. When the experts of the Spirit realm leave the place, I will be the first to be affected when I leave the holy abode.

Jiang Li Shuo waved his hand and left. He ran out the window, "Alright, these are all trivial matters. You don't need to remind me, I know."

Hong Yu looked at her disappearing figure and his heart was in turmoil. He didn't think that he would casually lie and ask about the secret of the Five-Colored Earth in the small world of the stop sign.

This further strengthened his determination to keep it a secret.
