HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 24: The crisis of Ye Qiu!
After Ye Qiu greeted Li Yu, Li Yu knew that he was in trouble.
"What's wrong? Did something happen at home? If you don't have enough money for your school fees, you can owe it to me first. You just need to write IOU!” Li Yu said with a smile.
“Senior Brother, no, Master Li, forgive me. I might not be able to enter the Qingyun Sect for now!” Ye Qiu said with a guilty look.
"What's the problem?" Li Yu's heart stiffened, and he thought that he couldn't let this big fish off.
"I'll go north to join the army!" Ye Qiu said after a moment of silence before he told Li Yu the truth about the northern war.
However, he still could not force himself to open his mouth and ask Li Yu for help. After all, Li Yu had no such obligation.
Li Yu felt helpless after hearing Ye Qiu's explanation. Ye Qiu had no choice because he was born into a family of generals. It only took one decision from the Emperor, and Ye Qiu had to serve in the army in place of his father.
It was a pity that he had finally managed to obtain a talented junior brother who would become cannon fodder on the battlefield.
However, everyone has their own fate. He couldn't force Ye Qiu, so he could only respect his choice.
“Because you called me Senior Brother, then I am already your Senior Brother. I'll wait for you to return triumphantly from the sect. If you still want to become our disciple, my Qingyun Sect will welcome you anytime! Li Yu patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder.
"Right, if I can come back alive this time, I will definitely re-join the sect!" Ye Qiu cupped his hands. “Senior sister, it's late. I'm gonna go. I will leave tomorrow morning to hurry to the front line of Mo Prefecture!”
“Alright, then I will congratulate Young Brother on your victory and the return of your previous victory!” Li Yu cupped his hands.
Ye Qiu cupped his hands and did not say anything more.
He leaped back onto the back of the flying spirit beast, waved to Li Yu, and flew towards its origin.
Li Yu looked behind Ye Qiu and could not help but shake her head regretfully. “Huh, change goes faster than plan. I think Ye Qiu brought a large amount of payment. This way, I can save even more spirit stones!”
At night, a black-robed figure with a strange embroidery pattern flew from afar in silence.
However, the moment he reached the temple, which only the hall remained, Li Yu's figure appeared just like that as she stood in front of him.
"Who are you?" Li Yu asked coldly.
From the way this person dressed, it seemed like he was not a good person.
"Ghost Walk, Netherworld Demon Sect!" The man introduced himself. After all, he was not here to kill, so there was no need to hide his identity.
The Netherworld Demon Sect! ?Li Yu's eyebrows suddenly coalesced as the demon sect finally made a move.
"Are you here to kill me?" Li Yu asked calmly.
“No, your father is currently a guest in our Netherworld Demon Sect. Our Sect Master is a friendly person, and he wants to invite you. Oh yes, before you leave, you should bring the baby god bird and the Heavenly Spirit Pill with you!” Ghost Walk said with an eccentric.
Bang out!
A terrifying killing aura instantly erupted from Li Yu's body, leaving Ghost Walk terrified until his expression changed.
However, before he could react, he realized that a hand seemed to have been stretched out of the void and clutched his neck.
At the same time, Li Yu's murderous face appeared in his field of vision.
“The Netherworld Demon Sect must be tired of its existence. And you dare arrest my father!” Killing intent and anger were visible in Li Yu's eyes.
If the Netherworld Demon Sect came for him, he would not be angry at all. He would treat it as killing monsters to level up and farming for equipment.
However, using his father as a hostage and threatening the safety of his family has touched his core.
After his throat was locked by Li Yu, Ghost Walk was frightened as cold sweat poured out from his back.
He had never imagined the terrifying strength of Li Yu.
He did not even manage to see how Li Yu arrived in front of him earlier.
Especially when he sensed the frightening aura he was emitting, he felt that Li Yu was even more terrifying than their sect head.
The crack!
Before Gui Xing could finish his sentence, his neck was broken by Li Yu.
“Secte Devil Netherworld. Playing dirty, huh? Then don't blame me for being merciless! Li Yu said coldly.
Since the Netherworld Demon Sect had threatened his father's safety, the sect was unavoidable.
It was also an opportunity to relieve the pressure on the orthodox sect of the Great Xia Dynasty.
At this moment, the mission system interface suddenly appeared: [Kill Mo Lin and get rid of the Netherworld Demon Sect. You can get 20 Prestige points.]
The right time!
A smile curled at the corner of Li Yu's mouth. He had just intended to eliminate the Netherworld Demon Sect for good, and the system issued its mission. Since he could earn money from it, he had no reason to let go of the Netherworld Demon Sect.
However, just as Li Yu was about to get rid of the mission panel, her gaze was inevitably attracted by Ye Qiu's name.
Right now, his name had turned red with the word 'danger' beside him.
Ye Qiu's journey to Mo Prefecture to fight was indeed dangerous! Judging from this notice, this kid might become cannon fodder!
Li Yu recalled that Ye Qiu had once said that Mo Prefecture had fallen because the Netherworld Demon Sect had joined the Wolf King Clan.
The Wolf King clan slaughtered, robbed, and committed all sorts of crimes. Right now, the people there are in misery and suffering.
If the Wolf King clan continued south and Mo Prefecture fell completely, the Great Xia Dynasty would be completely exposed to the wolf cavalry troops of the Wolf King Clan.
It could directly cause the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Originally, Li Yu did not plan to interfere in this matter. After all, it was handled by the officials. He was not a saint, nor did he want to become a hero, so there was no need to interfere in the affairs of others
However, now that the Netherworld Demon Sect had involved him, he decided to go to Mo Prefecture to eliminate the Netherworld Demon Sect. While he was there, he would also eradicate the Wolf King Clan, who was in cahoots with the Netherworld Demon Sect.
After all, he could finish with a single sword!
In the end, Li Yu still could not bear to part with the possibility of a dairy cow like Ye Qiu.
After Ye Qiu left today, he regretted not taking action earlier.
If this fellow were to really die, not only would he lose a genius junior brother, he would also lose a large amount of sect fees. There was also the tempting Ancient Emperor Qing Cang's treasure mission.
If the war in the north ended, peace would return to the Great Xia Dynasty. While Ye Qiu might not need to fight and he could enter their Qingyun Sect again.
After some thought and consideration, Li Yu called Tang Chi and handed over the supervision of their sect building project to him.
Ye Residence Nan'an City. It was just past three in the morning, and Ye Qiu was already preparing to leave.
After Ye Guxing accepted the decision, he headed straight to Mo Prefecture from the borders of Qing Prefecture.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu would bring a group of light cavalry troops escorting his father back and depart from Nan'an City. They headed north to Mo Prefecture to meet Ye Guxing.
To ease her mother's fear, Ye Qiu lied and said that Li Yu agreed to help her fight the enemy. And that they would definitely emerge victorious this time around and drive out the Wolf King Clan from the country.
Perhaps a sign of a man's maturity is when he learns to lie.
In addition to their own country, there were some things that they had to protect and defend with their lives. After all, they should take care of the hearts of their parents, wives, and children as well.
Although Ye Qiu's perfect lie made Yang Shengnan skeptical, and he even thought that the 'Li Yu' that Ye Qiu was talking about was a fraud, he had no other choice. If he does not comply, his entire family will be executed.
Therefore, Yang Shengnan could only send Ye Qiu away with tears streaming down his face.
He held on to the thin hope that Li Yu was truly as capable as Ye Qiu described.
