The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 380 The Plan

The comprehending of the Tao of Yin and Yang also allowed Li Ye to further understand the Way of Emperor. All things in the world follow the same philosophy, and the Way of Emperor was also related to Yin and Yang. For example, the patriarchal means of temper justice with mercy and couple hardness with softness.

Previously, Li Ye had already comprehended the second realm of the Way of Emperor. This time comprehending the Tao of Yin and Yang was a great elevation for him, but he did not comprehend the third realm of Way of Emperor. From another aspect, the Way of Emperor also had its independence.

However, this was definitely helpful towards Li Ye’s comprehension of the third realm of the Way of Emperor and the latter realms. Just like now, he clearly sensed the vitality of Dragon Qi, and it was quite happy.

After coming out of the small village checkpoint, Li Ye’s strength returned to before he entered the small village checkpoint, which was infinitely approaching Qi-refining Level 1 of Warrior Mentor Realm. The Feihong Bodhisattva was still at Qi-refining Level 1, there was still a clear gap between the two.

The discussion of the Yin-Yang way made the Feihong Bodhisattva annoyed at Li Ye and caused her to stab him with her sword. Li Ye was also unambiguous, wielding his Luke Sword to fight, and the two instantly fought together, the glint and flash of cold steel was apparent.

The question that Li Ye asked the Feihong Bodhisattva was actually very simple. It was to ask her that if she understood the way of Yin-Yang integration. It was just that he translated “Yin-Yang” into “man and woman”.

Li Ye, who was not in awe of the Feihong Bodhisattva, asked this question, and in ordinary people’s eyes, he was blaspheming her deity dignity. But in Li Ye’s view, this was nothing more than an ordinary discussion about the Great Tao.

For the real Great Cultivators, anything could be discussed in this world. If you felt taboo about discussing something, there were definitely demons in your heart. How could you prove the Great Tao if you had demons in the heart? The Feihong Bodhisattva should not have been angry.

But clearly, the Feihong Bodhisattva was still angry.

The two sides had been fighting for half a day, and no one won.

...

Half way up the mountain, the demon clan cultivators along with the Holy Child, the Son of God and the Land Buddhism monks had been staring at each other for several days.

Nothing happened because their legs and feet were stuck in the steps and they couldn’t move. After all, everyone’s strength was suppressed now, and they could not use too many long-range techniques.

But when Li Ye and the Feihong Bodhisattva left the small village checkpoint, the demon clan cultivators and the Land Buddhism monks suddenly recovered their ability to move, and their feet were able to pull out of the “mud” on the steps.

Then all hell broke through, and the scene was completely chaotic.

The demon clan cultivators relied on their numbers advantage and swarmed their opponents like tigers and wolves. And they used their most lethal attacks. The Land Buddhism monks did not hesitate either, and they pulled out their weapons and began fighting.

There was no suspense in the outcome of the fight. In an hour, the demon clan cultivators, under the command of the Holy Child and the Son of God, subdued all the Land Buddhism monks. The Land Buddhism monks, after paying the price of two deaths, stopped fighting with the demons.

Nangong Diyi and Su Emei were able to get out of the battle because they stopped fighting. The fighting happened too suddenly, the Holy Child and the Son of God were all savvy fighters. Rushing to rescue Nangong Diyi and Su Emei was their top priority, so they did not leave time for the opponent to take hostages.

After subduing the Land Buddhism monks, the Holy Child, the Son of God gathered together with Nangong Diyi and Su Emei to discuss their next move.

“We don’t know where Li Ye and the Feihong Bodhisattva are now. Should we go to find them?” You Daxiao asked.

The Holy Child answered matter-of-factly, “Of course we have to find them. This secret region is too weird. We have been here for so many days, and I don’t know what the situation is with Li Ye and the Feihong Bodhisattva.”

Everyone chimed in, and started a lively discussion.

After everyone almost talked, Su Emei, who had been keeping silent before, concluded slowly, “We stopped half way up the mountainside and did not pass the test of the secret region. We deserve to be punished, but now we can move freely. It indicates that the customary test to pass the secret region has successfully been broken and no longer exists. I think that at least one or both Li Ye and the Feihong Bodhisattva have been recognized by the Tao of Heaven now.”

“Then where could they be?” the Holy Child asked urgently.

Su Emei stood up and looked towards the top of the mountain which was surrounded by dense fog and could not see anything. But her eyes were firm. “This mountain is the center of the secret region. We are all climbing the mountain. So those who have successfully passed the barrier should be on the top of the mountain.”

Everyone felt her words were reasonable and decided immediately to climb to the top of the mountain to see the situation—even if they could not reach the top, they might discover something along the way.

“If Li Ye is the one that has passed the test of the secret region, then naturally everyone is happy. But what if it were the Feihong Bodhisattva?” You Daxiao asked suddenly.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and they were all concerned. After all, the Feihong Bodhisattva was too powerful.

In the end, the Holy Child said unruly, “What are you afraid of? If it is the Feihong Bodhisattva, then let’s fight together and leave her in the secret region!”

These words were resolute and domineering. They were also full of rebellious will and immediately infected many people. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes gradually lightened.

Now there were more than twenty demon clan cultivators. If they all attacked at once, even if the Feihong Bodhisattva was very powerful, in the case that her cultivation was suppressed and many skills could not be used, it was difficult to deal with all of them.

They might have a chance to defeat her.

The plan was decided, and without delay, they immediately climbed the stairs to the mountain. As for the captive Land Buddhism monks, they did not forget to bring them. Originally according to the character of the Holy Child, these people would be killed.

However, Su Emei was very cautious, and she was against killing them. She said that in order to prevent any accidents, it was better to bring them. If the situation was not as expected, they could also use them to threaten the Feihong Bodhisattva.

They did not encounter any obstacles while they were climbing to the top of the mountain.

...

The Immortal Court.

After the meeting, Li Changgeng came out of the hall and looked around for a while. He saw a figure leaving the crowd and headed towards the direction of transmitting the magic formation outside the city. He quickly rushed to catch up. “Brother Zhang, wait a moment.”

The immortal official stopped when he heard him and saw Taibai catching up. He then bowed down and added, “What’s the matter, Brother Li?”

The immortal official looked tender, having sharp eyes and a slender body. His jaw slightly lifted, and he was quite proud even when he was talking to Li Changgeng.

“Brother Zhang, we need to talk.” Li Changgeng motioned him to go to a place with few people, and then he added seriously, “This time you have taken the errand to handle the matter of the Luck of heaven. What is your plan?”

“Why does Brother Zhang ask me?” Zhang Ji frowned slightly, as if he thought Li Changgeng was too meddlesome, and even had a hand in his errands—after all they had no affiliation.

It seemed that Li Changgeng did not see the impatience in Zhang Ji’s eyes, and added seriously, “None of our people is in the secret region of the Tao of Heaven. We have no idea about the situation inside now. Neither the Feihong Bodhisattva nor Li Ye should be underestimated; Brother Zhang must not treat it lightly...”

Zhang Ji waved impatiently. “What do you want to say?”

Li Changgeng took a deep breath and added, “Taiyuan City! Whoever occupies Taiyuan City will be killed! If the Hedong Army wins, Li Keyong will be killed. If the Pinglu army wins, their Chief Commander will be killed! That means the opponent can launch a counterattack. In any case, we cannot allow any of them to completely occupy Taiyuan City and control the altar in Taiyuan City! We must ensure that the two sides are evenly matched! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Ji froze and looked at Li Changgeng’s eyes, which also became very weird, and added directly, “Brother Li’s strategy is too toxic.”

Seeing that the other party did not immediately oppose it, Li Changgeng secretly sighed with relief, and added with a smile on his face, “Based on Brother Zhang’s combat power and cultivation, it is naturally not difficult for you to take the general’s head of the army. This time your descent to the mortal world is bound to go smoothly!”

Zhang Ji chuckled and was noncommittal, but he did not intend to tell Taibai more. Holding his fist in salute, he said, “Thank you Brother Li for your suggestions. When I descend to the world to resolve the crisis in Hedong and help Zhu Wen to pacify the world, I will quickly fly back and thank you, Brother Li!”

Li Changgeng held his fists in salute and smiled. “No problem.”
