Chapter 725
Li Zhenguo was wearing a silver-white armor, which looked a little gray and old on the surface, but it was very clean.
He had a square face and a beard, but his eyes were bright and energetic, as if there was a divine light.
He swept his eyes over the immortal masters in front of him, and then quickly lowered his head. After all, he was just a mortal, and the ones in front of him were all immortal masters.
In terms of status, although Li Zhenguo's status was not low, he still looked down on the immortal masters.
At this time, Manager Liu hurriedly began to introduce them.
"Elder Liu, this is General Li Zhenguo, and he will take you to the battlefield."
"Yes." Liu Jian clasped his fists and responded: "Hello General Li."
"Elder Liu is too polite, I don't deserve it." Li Zhenguo said hurriedly.
"General Li, this is the Holy Son of Xuanwu Sect, and these are the inner disciples of Xuanwu Sect."
Manager Liu introduced everyone's identities to each other.
In this way, they were familiar with each other.
"Everyone, I would like to thank you!"
"General, you are welcome. This is what we should do."
Li Zhenguo once again bowed his hands in thanks.
This time, the empire suffered an unprecedented catastrophe.
They have invited many high-level sects, but no one is willing to help.
This has made Li Zhenguo already discouraged.
But this time, I heard that there is a mid-level sect willing to take on this top-level assessment task.
He sighed, because this is no different from sending death.
However, this is also the best strength that the sect can offer.
"I think you also know the danger of this trip. If the immortal masters disagree, you can give up."
"But don't worry, the conditions that Manager Liu promised you just now are still effective."
Li Zhenguo looked at these immortal masters and had a good impression of them.
Therefore, he felt a little bit reluctant to see them go to die.
"Thank you, General Li. We have discussed it. We are not afraid of death, so please do not worry, General Li."
Li Jian pointed to Li Taihang again and said, "Our Holy Son will be the captain of our operation this time. If the general has any requirements, you can tell our Holy Son."
Li Zhenguo was a little surprised. He did not expect Liu Jian to give the captain position to Li Taihang.
Li Taihang looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Wouldn't this be too risky?
But seeing their calm appearance, Li Zhenguo was thinking, could this Holy Son have something special?
However, Li Zhenguo was just a mortal general, and he could not see the depth of Li Taihang's strength.
Just through the information, he knew that except Liu Jian who reached the Mahayana realm, the others were all in the Golden Core realm.
For this mission, the Mahayana realm would be gone soon, not to mention the Golden Core realm. As long as they were scratched, they would be finished immediately.
"Holy Son, if you have decided, then we will set off."
Liu Guanshi interrupted at this time.
"Let's go."
Li Taihang said indifferently.
Li Zhenguo was really worried.
Does Li Taihang's indifferent attitude mean that he is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers?
But now, they can't think so much.
Then, they signed the contract.
After agreeing on the matters, Li Taihang took them and Li Zhenguo to leave the clan mansion together.
After they left, Manager Liu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, I finally completed the task. Otherwise, I couldn't report to the higher-ups, and I might even lose my head."
As for whether they won or lost in the end, it didn't matter to him.
"If you can come back, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
Li Taihang and others followed Li Zhenguo to a military camp.
This military camp was dozens of miles outside Lingxiao City, and the number of people in the camp was less than a thousand.
When they arrived, the generals guarding the barracks came out to greet them.
"General."
"Well, notify them to move camp and head to the battlefield at dawn tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
"Sorry, everyone, I'll bother you to stay here tonight."
"Well."
For immortal cultivators, there is no mandatory requirement for their living environment.
After all, their physiques are much stronger than those of mortals.
The next day, it was dawn.
After the soldiers hurriedly ate breakfast, Li Zhenguo ordered the army to start, and Li Taihang and others also followed.
On the way.
Li Zhenguo told them about the current situation of the battlefield.
"The battlefield is now temporarily sealed by the national master using a magic weapon and several strong men. Therefore, the demons inside cannot break out."
"But if the demons inside are not killed as soon as possible, especially the demon king, this disaster will never be resolved."
"When the time comes, the national master and his friends will be exhausted.When the demons break through the barrier, they will be able to break through the barrier. "
"So, your mission is to sneak into the demons, find the demon king, and kill him."
Li Zhenguo told Li Taihang and others about the whole mission.
"By the way, this time His Majesty has also offered a reward in order to get the various sects to contribute." Li Zhenguo smiled bitterly.
It seemed that he was secretly blaming the emperor for being stingy. If he was more generous, he would not have fallen to the point where he is now.
"Well, I wonder what the reward is?" Liu Jian suddenly felt a little moved and asked curiously.
"It depends on what you kill."
"Killing ordinary demons will get a reward of 10 spirit stones for each one, killing elites will get 100 spirit stones for each one, killing leaders will get 1,000 spirit stones for each one, killing leaders will get 100,000 spirit stones for each one, and killing demon kings will get 10 million spirit stones."
"Oh? "Liu Jian's heart moved.
This reward is quite a lot.
However, if he knew the strength of the ordinary demons inside, he would probably scold the old emperor for being stingy.
After several days of traveling, they finally arrived at the battlefield.
A few dozen feet high walls have been built around the battlefield, surrounding the entire battlefield.
And inside the battlefield, there is a huge barrier, which is the barrier that isolates the demons inside from the outside world.
When they came here, a team of people came to greet them immediately.
"General Li, you are back."
"General Ma, yes, how is the situation now?"
"Well... a little bad, the activity of the demons has increased significantly recently, and through our investigation, we found that their number is also growing rapidly, much faster than before."
"The national teacher..."
"The national teacher can hold on for the time being, but he has sent people to ask His Majesty to send reinforcements."
"Well. "
"General Li, who are these people?"
Ma Shouyuan could see that the people in front of him had extraordinary temperaments, and they were not ordinary people.
"The immortal master we invited this time." Li Zhenguo laughed bitterly.
"Ah, just this little?" Ma Shouyuan was speechless.
"Hey. Okay, let's go in and talk about it."
"Yes."
Ma Shouyuan ordered the guards to open the city gate.
After the city gate was opened, Ma Shouyuan led them into the inner city.
The so-called inner city is actually a passage hundreds of feet wide, and on both sides of the passage are the city walls that are tens of feet high.
The inner city wall is also surprisingly high, slightly higher than the outer city wall by one third.
Between the two city walls, there are some buildings scattered around, these are simple buildings, most of which are tents and tents.
"Why build such a high city wall? "
A disciple asked in confusion after seeing the amazing height of the wall.
"Because there are so many demons, some can fly, and some are good at climbing. The national teacher believes that the wall must be built high to resist them."
"Okay."
This height is good enough, they looked up.
I am afraid that most of the demons can't climb out.
Unless the walls are destroyed.
"Deputy general, you take the soldiers back to the camp."
Li Zhenguo said to the deputy general beside him.
"Yes, general."
The young general beside Li Zhenguo responded.
He waved his hand, and except for Li Zhenguo's personal guards, all other soldiers followed him.
Ma Shouyuan looked at the soldiers going away and said to Li Zhenguo: "General Li, the national teacher said that if there are immortal cultivators coming, everything will be handled by Lord Cai. He and his friends cannot meet the visitors because they are maintaining the formation."
"Cai Heng?"
"Yes. "
"Well..." Li Zhenguo didn't like Cai Heng very much, but since it was the order of the national teacher, he had no choice.
"If that's the case, then let it be." Li Zhenguo said goodbye to Ma Shouyuan and took Li Taihang and others to where Cai Heng lived.
Cai Heng lived in a house, which looked ordinary on the outside, but was very large.
The decoration inside was not bad at all.
Cai Heng heard from his subordinates that Li Zhenguo had brought people, so he hurried out to greet them.
"Oh, General Li, you're back."
Cai Heng had been waiting for Li Zhenguo for a long time.
"Yes, Lord Cai."
Li Zhenguo saluted Cai Heng.
Cai Heng was an eunuch around the emperor and was deeply trusted by the emperor.
Cai Heng also made a lot of money from their army because of this.
This is why Li Zhenguo didn't like this guy.
"Well, who are these people?" Cai Heng looked at the people behind Li Zhenguo and asked.
"They are the immortal masters invited this time. "
Cai Heng's eyes lit up, and he said in a flattering tone, and said, "Ah, Master, I am sorry for being so rude. Please come in quickly."
Seeing the distinguished status of the visitor, Cai Heng did not dare to be rude.
He quickly welcomed Li Taihang and others into the room.
The space inside was quite large. After arranging everyone to sit down, Cai Heng ordered people to serve wine and food to entertain Li Taihang and others.
"Masters, you have been tired from the journey. I will toast you first."
Cai Heng stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank it in one gulp after toasting.
After they had enough wine and food, they began to discuss the situation inside the battlefield.
This is also the reason why Cai Heng was looking forward to Li Zhenguo's return.
"Hey, the situation in the battlefield is getting worse and worse. I have also replied to His Majesty during this period of time."
Cai Heng originally wanted to come here to get benefits, and then run away when he saw that the situation was not good. As a result, the national teacher insisted on asking for credit for him, so that His Majesty thought that he was very powerful, so he also kept him.
But in fact, everyone knew that the national teacher kept Cai Heng by his side to prevent him from doing his job.
