This is understandable, as everything in the warehouse has been distributed as military pay. Over the years, the mountains have been self-sustaining, leaving nothing extra.
If it weren’t for "General Jia Man" left by the Vermilion Bird King to oversee, and the consistent victorious news from the Vermilion Bird King stabilizing people’s hearts, many cultivators would likely have fled long ago.
No, I need to find a way to get Spirit Stones... An initial idea ford in his mind.
Half a month later.
General Jia Man’s command spread far and wide, summoning all the Mountain Masters to discuss important matters.
Li An set off.
General Jia Man, a mber of the Demon Race, with a cultivation at the Nascent Soul level, was surrounded by ten powerful True Core Demon Cultivators, residing on the Purple Spirit Peak in the southern mountain range.
In the main hall, more than a dozen Mountain Masters of the Celestial Killer Mountain range had all arrived.
Everyone had a solemn expression. In these years, General Jia Man rarely summoned everyone; there must be sothing major this ti.
Jia Man stepped out, wearing golden armor, his square face extrely stern, resembling a bloodstained general. His voice was like a bell, saying: "Today, I have gathered you all here for the peace of the Celestial Killer Mountain range!"
"In recent years, the number of human cultivators coming to the Celestial Killer Mountain range has been increasing, and they’ve even infiltrated among us. What do you all think should be done?"
The dozen or so Mountain Masters exchanged glances, not daring to speak. An old cultivator hesitated for a long ti before saying: "Reporting to the General, in my humble opinion, from now on, set up checkpoints on the main routes in and out of the Celestial Killer Mountain range and conduct strict inspections..."
Everyone nodded, evidently in agreent. Li An said nothing as well.
But at that mont, General Jia Man suddenly slapped his chair and stood up, shouting: "Nonsense!"
Everyone was startled, watching him nervously.
"The Great Li’s treacherous nation, ever since unifying the Xiling Origin Continent, has always coveted the Demon Race. Their treacherous intentions are known to all. Now, what is the purpose of these human cultivators coming to the Celestial Killer Mountain range? Simply to spy on our military information, even to incite rebellion within the mountains. Their intentions are punishable!"
General Jia Man spoke with righteousness, his face full of anger: "At such a critical mont, we can say that we are already at odds with the Human Race, on the brink of war!"
"Moreover, the Demon Queen is about to ascend to the throne. After the ascension, the direction of the sword will definitely point towards the Human Race. So how can we sit by and allow the Human Race to act recklessly in our Celestial Killer Mountain range?"
"I have decided that these humans deserve a lesson!"
The Mountain Masters looked at each other.
Jia Man said: "Imdiately surround the Celestial Evil City, and slaughter all the incoming human cultivators. From now on, block the lands tightly to prevent any human infiltration!"
Upon these words, everyone was shocked.
Because this signified a complete severance between the Celestial Killer Mountain range and the Human Race.
Many Mountain Masters were particularly apprehensive. If they participated in the massacre of the human cultivators this ti, there would be no turning back!
Especially Mountain Master Zhao, whose face was particularly ugly. He had already arranged to et with the Taiyi Sect today... Now Jia Man’s order was a complete shock to him.
"Mountain Master Guo, Mountain Master Zhao... you are in charge of clearing Celestial Evil City!"
"Mountain Master Lin, handle Shayue Valley..."
Jia Man was obviously prepared and made corresponding arrangents for everyone on the spot.
In fact, although there were many human cultivators entering the Celestial Killer Mountain range recently, there weren’t many True Core experts among them. There was no need for all the Mountain Masters to act.
But what Jia Man wanted was participation, an attitude.
He had to force these Mountain Masters to completely sever ties with the Human Race!
Mountain Master Zhao’s face grew increasingly grim. He had been assigned to a different area, and he was preparing to connect with the Taiyi Sect at Shayue Valley...
"Any Mountain Master who does not comply will be considered a traitor and killed!"
General Jia Man said: "Set off－－"
Everyone was terrified, getting up and starting to move.
Li An also turned to leave, but just as he stepped out, Mountain Master Zhao ca up to him quietly, saying: "Brother Lin－－"
Li An said: "Mountain Master Zhao, what’s the matter?"
Zhao Changkong smiled slightly, "I wish to exchange the area I’m responsible for with you, how about that?"
"It’s like this, I have a treasure being refined at Shayue Valley. There are quite a few arrays set up there, and I’m afraid it would trouble you to go there..."
Saying this, he directly handed Li An two Third Grade Spirit dicines containing lunar energy, "Please, Brother Lin, make a concession!"
Upon hearing this, Li An pondered: "In that case, I’m afraid General Jia Man won’t be pleased?"
"Rest assured, Brother Lin, sweeping those cultivators anywhere is the sa. As long as it’s cleaned up, General Jia Man won’t say anything..." Zhao Changkong kept persuading.
Li An reluctantly said: "Alright－－"
He took the Spirit dicines, and the deal was struck!
...
In an instant.
In the range of the Celestial Killer Mountain, many powerful Spirit Beasts rose into the sky, patrolling the area. Upon discovering incoming human cultivators, they directly began attacking and killing.
Within Celestial Evil City, many Mountain Masters led people to charge and began the siege.
For a ti, a tragic disaster broke out in the Celestial Killer Mountain range.
Most of those sent by the Great Li were Foundation Establishnt level cultivators, with few Core Formation experts, facing the siege by the Celestial Killer Mountain range, they had no power to resist, and in the blink of an eye, they were slaughtered completely!
...
And Zhao Changkong had personally led people to arrive at Shayue Valley.
The people from the Taiyi Sect were waiting for him here!
"Mountain Master Zhao truly keeps his word－－"
A True Core expert from the Taiyi Sect stepped forward to pay respects.
"Do you know how much risk I’ve taken to co here today－－General Jia Man suddenly ordered to slaughter all the external human cultivators entering the Celestial Killer Mountain range. If I hadn’t arranged, now, you might be facing the knives of other Mountain Masters!"
Zhao Changkong’s face was grim, "Tell , what conditions did you bring this ti?"
The expert from the Taiyi Sect imdiately handed a Jade Talisman to Zhao Changkong.
Just as Zhao Changkong was about to open it, suddenly a large array erupted around them－－
"What? An ambush?!"
The expert from the Taiyi Sect’s face changed greatly, imdiately striking Zhao Changkong with a palm.
Zhao Changkong hastily defended himself, but even he was at a loss.
"Zhao Changkong colludes with the Taiyi Sect. By order of General Jia Man, he is to be executed－－"
In the sky, a person shouted loudly; it was Li An!
He led people to suddenly attack, and everyone present was terrified, and a great battle erupted imdiately－－
"You... you damn played ?!"
Zhao Changkong’s eyes were red, he had realized that he was tricked by Li An.
Now, with the evidence and witnesses, he was cornered by Li An’s cunning plot－－
Imdiately, he fought with all his might, charging towards Li An.
Zhao Changkong, at the Late-Stage True Core level, had a strong cultivation, and many magical treasures on his body. Several Talismans tore apart a corner of the array, and in an instant, he was in front of Li An, erupting into a intense battle with him.
Li An did not use his full power; he naturally couldn’t expose his true strength in public combat. Pretending to struggle, he fought fiercely for a long ti before finally taking down Zhao Changkong, grabbing Zhao Changkong’s throat and strangling him to death－－
During the process of strangling him, Li An used a Demon Skill to read his mories!
On the other hand, the people brought by Zhao Changkong, as well as other experts from the Taiyi Sect, were almost all killed.
Only so Foundation Establishnt disciples were intentionally left alive by Li An.
After killing Zhao Changkong, Li An walked into the scene, his gaze resting on the few remaining disciples of the Taiyi Sect, and among them, one person instantly surprised him.
It was a woman, wearing a simple dress and holding a longsword nervously. Beside her was a Tier Two white wolf guarding her.
This person was actually... Lihua!
