To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Schemes
“You're thinking in the wrong direction! Just think of where these demons got so many baby souls to sacrifice!” Elder Bai replied.
Zhen Yuan slightly nodded at Elder Bai's reply, as he was a former of the great guards and the administrative pavilion elders were naturally different from ordinary elders.
About 10 minutes passed, Zhen Yuan had memorized the attack formation pattern as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this formation. With a bit of analysis, he got a few big guesses making his smile widen even more.
Since he had gotten what he wanted, Zhen Yuan no longer needed to linger. He immediately waved his hand as the Lightning Storm materialized along with the Furious Lightning that united.
The two mortal forces fused together and made the ten demons outside the formation not twitch. They were crushed into dust along with the souls of their babies. Only traces of soul energy were left which were then absorbed by Zhen Yuan through his tendrils. After that the formation that enveloped the surrounding area disappeared.
“Come go! We must bury the corpse of grand elder Li now and save Li Gomu and his troops” Zhen Yuan said.
The three of them just remembered, they thought Zhen Yuan said like that to melt the atmosphere. But it turned out, their master was really serious.
“Did grand elder Li really die?”
Zhen Yuan sighed softly then carried them at full speed. Even they arrived there in just the blink of an eye due to Zhen Yuan's speed. It took time for them to realize that in the center of the city the Iron Body had been completely destroyed by the fight.
They then saw Li Gomu sitting in front of Li Pinggo's corpse. Li Pinggo's body was completely destroyed with the blood that had dried up his wear. In addition hundreds of the Li family troops had lost consciousness some were no longer even breathing.
His third breath was stifled at such a sight, the three of them slightly glanced at Zhen Yuan who now looked calm. Zhen Yuan's current focus was the two-horned demon figure who had realized their arrival.
The demon leader wanted to dodge but the speed of the Zhen Yuan formation was no match for him, immediately the hands and feet of the demon were cut off and made the demon scream in pain. Zhen Yuan then inserted the demon into his small world.
The devil's scream made Li Gomu wake up, he turned to find Zhen Yuan and his three followers. “Master Zhen!” li Gomu said before he fell unconscious. Elder Bai immediately let out his strength, white clouds floating down and took Li Gomu.
“Worthy of being the future successor of the Li family, he has great determination and passion! He even forced himself to stay sober until your arrival” elder Bai commented.
Zhen Yuan gave a small nod, he sighed for a while, “Gather the corpses of the Li family and bury them. We will wait for young master Li to come to his senses and bury the corpse of Li Pinggo” Elder Huang and the second elder nodded, they quickly gathered all the corpses and separated them from the living.
At the same time Zhen Yuan used his formation power to improve the state of the badly damaged city. He did not restore the city to its original state until it could be settled by ordinary people.
Elder Bai was itching to say something, he was no longer able to hold it in and asked Zhen Yuan. “Master, if you already know that grand elder Li will not be able to survive this attack then why don't you help him? grand elder Li may be one of our current allies”
Elder Bai's thoughts were understandable, the three Zhen Yuan followers might not currently be a match for the demon nation's strongest general and power. However their strength was not weak, if the three of them cooperated well, the demon leader could be defeated. Zhen Yuan could tell them to keep grand elder Li company and make sure his life remained safe.
Zhen Yuan was not at all offended by Qiubai's question, he instead replied with a smile, “I am not a good person who can help the lives of everyone nor is the devil born to see the evil around. These demons have long been eyeing the Iron Body city, tell me why they only attacked today when the only Mortal cultivator left to guard was Li Pinggo?”
Elder Huang replied, “Because they want to kill grand elder Li!”
