Guan Wu hugged the evil spirits and laughed sinisterly, "Thus, we have truly beco brothers."
The evil spirits also laughed along.
The Demon Technique of "Ghost Creation" from the Tiger Demon Taishui already allowed Li Xuan to create over a thousand evil spirits during his early mastery.
Consistently, when Li Xuan’s spirit attribute surpassed 90 and 280, the Demon Technique "Ghost Creation" underwent two qualitative transformations.
However, compared to skills like "Illusion Skill," "Illusion Realm," and "Exhale Smoke," this transformation was much weaker.
This transformation purely "reduced spirit burden" and... "further reduced spirit burden."
Originally, Li Xuan could handle an additional 100 evil spirits for every increase in 1 point of spirit attribute, but now... he can bear an additional 400 evil spirits per point of spirit attribute.
This ans Li Xuan can create 100,000 evil spirits.
Five thousand is just a minor affair.
Five thousand evil spirits "with cunning skills of refined robbers" were led by Li Xuan across the Qing River, now completely dispersed, like scattered sand, blending into various cities, then began hunting the confidants or close guards of so generals.
This task was very tough, so to lower the difficulty for them, Li Xuan specifically killed so lone Secret Martial Artists of the forr Wang family lineage and then refined these Martial Artists into evil spirits.
With the Secret Martial Artists, Guan Wu’s job beca easier.
They would silently hunt targets and then gather at fixed tis, waiting for their master to appear and provide them with new brothers.
As for why not directly kill the generals, it is because nine out of ten generals still have "immortal chains" around their necks.
If your dog was replaced by soone else, would you not know?
Therefore, Li Xuan refrains from killing the generals for now.
Prince Qing grasped the "Divine Martial Monarch’s" decree in April.
He attended Li Zhili’s wedding in June.
And in between these two months, he was busily engaged with this task.
Thus, he walked this path confidently and fearlessly.
As for the robbers’ side, he passed the "bottom line" to Guan Wu.
Guan Wu asked him, "If soone has to disclose who we are, how should I respond?"
Li Xuan was familiar with this type of question, so he casually created another cover identity and said, "Just say it’s Kou Shuai."
What does what Kou Shuai does have to do with him, the Divine Martial Monarch, or Buddha?
...
...
At the end of June, Li Xuan entered the royal capital.
The Zhao family royal household was delighted to see him arrive without leading any troops.
A grand banquet was set up in the palace to entertain the Li family, and the "Divine Martial Monarch’s Palace" was also prepared.
After satisfying themselves with food and drink, Li Xuan’s wife and children entered the palace.
Also entering the palace were illusionary figures disguised as servants.
Li Xuan did not leave; after the banquet dispersed, the empty courtyard in the royal palace was left with only him and the current sovereign, Zhao She.
Zhao She bowed and said, "I have long heard of the Divine Martial Monarch’s unmatched prowess, yet did not witness it at the feast today, which is truly a regret for ."
Li Xuan suddenly asked, "Where is the Flying Forest Army?"
Zhao She smiled, "Please follow ."
The two walked for a while before an armored warrior hurried over, asking, "Does the sovereign need a carriage?"
Zhao She waved his hand, "No need, have Commander Han co, rember to showcase the might of our army."
The armored warrior understood imdiately.
Today, in front of the royal palace was a feast, while the Flying Forest Army had long been prepared behind, ready to test whether the Divine Martial Monarch, adorned with "Nine Gifts and Ten Strears," can hold this position securely.
Soon, Li Xuan saw the Flying Forest Army.
Those two thousand soldiers did not seem weak, but the commander was soone Li Xuan did not recognize.
One man, against two thousand.
The sovereign slightly moved aside.
Li Xuan wasted no words, quickly manifesting into Vajra, Swordsman, Black Dragon, and Archer forms.
The four demon forms appeared, like four demon towers standing around Li Xuan, each towering over ten feet, resembling giants, exuding an intense sense of oppression.
Though the two thousand soldiers still had morale and could fight, what about their hearts?
Inside their hearts, could that man in the distance ever be defeated?
They were already trembling in fear.
The Flying Forest Army’s General Han shouted, "Form ranks."
Before he finished speaking, the demon-form Archer had already released an arrow, landing beside him.
The ground roared like thunder, smoke and dust rose, and when it cleared, only the terrified pale face of General Han was left.
Li Xuan turned to look at the sovereign and said, "Monarch, how about it?"
Zhao She was pale as well, and was about to say sothing when Li Xuan directly said, "Please honor your promise and provide with the two immortal quotas."
Zhao She waved his hand, signaling the Flying Forest Army to leave, then said, "Is the Divine Martial Monarch truly supporting my royal family?"
Li Xuan replied, "My wife is the princess of Great Yin, and I have received your delegation’s honor. I wouldn’t mingle with those disorderly generals."
Zhao She asked again, "Then... what does the Divine Martial Monarch intend to do after today?"
Li Xuan slightly frowned.
The air suddenly grew silent.
Zhao She dared not ask again, "Follow then..."
...
...
Soon after, Li Xuan t Luo E.
Fairy Luo in white, standing with a proud chest, her eyes like autumn waters, appearing as solitary peaks with proud snow before mortals, icy cold.
A trace of amazent flickered in Li Xuan’s eyes upon "seeing her for the first ti"; however, he cautiously lowered his gaze.
Zhao She respectfully said, "Fairy Luo, Lingyi Sect agreed to give my Zhao family three quotas, and now I transfer two to the Divine Martial Monarch, I ask you to witness."
With that, he took out two exquisite jade plaques from his bosom and handed them to Li Xuan, saying, "Divine Martial Monarch, this is the token. With this token, you can go to Bronze Plain to take the sect’s test. If the qualifications are suitable, Lingyi Sect can accept them as disciples."
Luo E said coldly, "I do not care how the Zhao family distributes the quotas. This batch of gold is enough for now, and I should leave."
Zhao She respectfully said, "Please allow so ti to prepare for the Fairy’s departure."
