Chapter 475 It’s Very Kind of You
Li Ye thought it over. The retreat of the beast tide seemed abrupt, but in fact, it revealed wisdom.
When the attack began, the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage in the forest and the cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm and the Immortal Realm in the sky belonged to two different battlefields. And they were all besieged and could only defend themselves. Therefore, the Great Cultivators in the sky couldn’t come down to rescue the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage, not even a cultivator in the Ground Immortal Realm.
In other words, the attack of the beast tide had a clear division of work. They had considerable advantages over the cultivators whether in the forest or in the sky.
Especially, they overwhelmed the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage.
According to the original trend, the fierce beasts were sure to win the attack. Once all the cultivators in the forest were killed, more than a thousand fierce beasts with the strength of the Spiritual Master Realm would fly up to the sky and join the encirclement and suppression against the Great Cultivators.
More than a thousand fierce beasts in the Spiritual Master Realm were enough to change the battle situation.
If that was the case, then only some of the cultivators from Liuxi Town in the Immortal Realm could escape. The cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm would be wiped out, and none of the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage would survive.
This was a carefully planned battle.
When more than a group of cultivators from Liuxi Town entered the Blackstone Ridge, this careful arrangement was particularly important and valuable.
After Li Ye told his thought to everyone, the proprietress nodded repeatedly, with one hand on her chest and the other on her cheek. She thought for a while and said, “The power of the fierce beasts against us, then, was precisely calculated. While ensuring a victory, there would not be much waste.”
Speaking of this, the proprietress gave Li Ye a complicated look. “However, the basis of their calculation seemed to be divided into two parts, the cultivators in the forest and the cultivators in the sky. In other words, in the fierce beasts’ eyes, the cultivators in the forest were all at the Qi-refining Stage!”
Hearing this, Wu You and the others understood. Duchess smiled and said, “But the fierce beasts didn’t know that Elder Brother Ye liked to go with the public. When he fought in the Tang Empire, he always wore armor and rode among the Wolf-tooth Troops! Since Elder Brother Ye was here, we wouldn’t fly to the sky, which led to a serious deviation in the calculation of the power of the cultivators in the forest!”
Miss Hong Xiu also figured out the key point. She looked at Li Ye with her beautiful, bright eyes. “As a result, the fierce beasts in the forest were defeated by us, and the more than a thousand fierce beasts in the Spiritual Master Realm all died and couldn’t support the fierce beasts in the sky to completely defeat the cultivators in the sky!”
Qi Potian was not stupid, so he finally understood what was going on. He excitedly said, “The power of the fierce beasts supporting the sky was destroyed, but we had the power to defeat a thousand fierce beasts in the Spiritual Master Realm. If we supported the cultivators in the sky, then we would reverse the situation and win! Because of this, the fierce beasts in the sky retreated quickly!”
At this point, everyone took a deep breath and looked at Li Ye like seeing an idol.
In a word, the battle of the cultivators from Liuxi Town that was destined to lose had a fundamental change and a totally different result from the fierce beasts’ expectations because of Li Ye!
About 1,500 cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage, more than 200 cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm, and several dozen cultivators in the Immortal Realm all survived because of Li Ye!
What a great achievement!
Feeling everyone’s eager gaze, Li Ye looked calm. He was calm and poised in his heart as well.
“Hehe. Saving more than a thousand cultivators is nothing. I killed treacherous and powerful ministers, suppressed Huang Chao, and defeated Li Keyong. Every battle was an out-and-out victory. I’ve saved a lot of ordinary people and soldiers! Compared with this, saving more than a thousand cultivators is really not worth mentioning!”
Of course, Li Ye wouldn’t tell everyone that he went with the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage because he wanted to get familiar with them so that he could establish fame when necessary.
Li Ye looked as usual and had no reaction. The proprietress’ heart began to thump again. She quickly asked, “Childe Li, aren’t you happy and proud when you’ve done such a big thing?”
Li Ye waved his hand casually and said calmly, “Compared with what I’ve done and what I’ll do, the victory of only a few thousand people is not worth feeling proud!”
Speaking of this, Li Ye suddenly thought of the first founder of the Celestial Dynasty on the earth. When he was a student at Hunan Normal University, he disarmed 3,000 regular soldiers who invaded Changsha with a group of students and policemen by his strategy and courage.
The war was highly praised, and many people praised him for his military ability very much. However, his reaction was very calm, and he just said, “That’s just the beginning of my military career.”
Look at his vision and bearing!
Li Ye felt that his current situation and state of mind were about the same as that of the first founder of the Celestial Dynasty.
So he became calmer.
Instead of feeling proud, Li Ye was calm. The proprietress’ heartbeat was no longer under control, and her heartbeat accelerated so that her face turned red. She looked very beautiful and enchanting.
Everyone said that beauties loved heroes… But the proprietress wanted to say that every woman loved heroes and that even female demons loved heroes! “Oh, no. My heart is beating fast. I can’t look at Childe Li anymore… I said that I would no longer have expectations for him.” The proprietress wanted to cry. She couldn’t ignore his charm, so she needed to hide somewhere!
The proprietress walked away in a panic, but as soon as she stepped out, she saw Miss Hong Xiu, who had the same look as her, also taking a step forward. They looked at each other and found each other’s red face. Then they became serious at the same time. They couldn’t help but become hostile to each other, just like two angry cats protecting their food!
But soon, they nodded to each other, and the hostility in their eyes disappeared. Instead, they felt the recognition of bosom friends and a little appreciation.
“Hehe, you have good taste!” “Well, you have good taste, too!”
Then they left together.
Of course, Li Ye didn’t know that the proprietress and Hong Xiu secretly played a little theatre in the place where he couldn’t see. He looked up at the sky.
Most of the Great Cultivators from Liuxi Town were injured at this moment. Fortunately, the battle ended early. For the Great Cultivators, the battle didn’t last long, so few of them died.
The Great Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief as their fighting abilities were not greatly damaged. Then, several majestic voices of the cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm came from the sky. “The fierce beasts have retreated. Everyone, hurry up and recover from your injuries in case of a second battle!”
“It was not easy for us to fight. I’m afraid that it will be more difficult for those juniors to fight in the forest. Let’s go to rescue them!”
“There is no sound of fighting in the forest. I’m afraid that the battle is over. Those juniors… Oh, no! There are no real strong ones among them. Will they all die in the battle?”
“Go and help them!”
“As long as they’re not dead, we have to try our best to save them! They are useful!”
The Great Cultivators were now frightened. They all flew down to the forest in succession, breaking through the barriers of the treetops. However, when they entered the forest, what they saw made them stunned. They widened their eyes in disbelief. “How did that happen?”
In the forest, a few open spaces with a radius of a thousand feet were particularly eye-catching. On the periphery of the open spaces, there were a large number of fierce beasts’ bodies. Especially, around an open space with a radius of several thousand feet, the fierce beasts’ bodies piled up like a high wall, with a thick layer on the ground. The blood flowed like a river and accumulated into a lake, looking spectacular and shocking!
In their eyes, even if not all the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage died, there would be only a few of them left. But beyond their expectations, most of them scattered in the forest, chatting, resting, or healing in groups. It seemed that they were very relaxed.
The Great Cultivators looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes. Unlike the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage, most of them had a strong perception. Although they were besieged by the fierce beasts in the air and couldn’t get away, they also noticed the sound of fighting in the forest. In their prediction, there were at least four to five thousand fierce beasts!
The cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage were far less responsive to the attack than the Great Cultivators were. Facing such a siege, how could they survive? But now, most of them were fine. There were indeed a lot of fierce beasts… To be exact, there were a lot of fierce beasts’ bodies!
“What turned four to five thousand fierce beasts into bodies?”
“What made the weak cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage survive?”
“Who is it?!”
With a complicated mood, the Great Cultivators landed on the ground and went to find the cultivators in their organizations to inquire about the situation.Access v ip novel
On the way, they were in different places because of their different cultivation. Actually, they were more or less related to each other. Some of them knew each other, some of them were from the same organization, some of them had good relationships, and some of them were friends and relatives.
It was dangerous to face the beast tide in the mountain, so no one would go alone, and everyone would team up. Of course, the strong would lead the team. Even though they teamed up in twos and threes, they would help each other, which was far better than going alone.
Therefore, at this moment, when they saw their friends and relatives alive, some of the Great Cultivators were relieved and felt less stressed.
“Elder brother, why did you come down so late? I was about to be torn apart by a black bear just now!”
“Aunt, I’m scared!”
“My Third Uncle, you didn’t come down to save me. I’ll tell my grandfather when I go back!”
Previously, the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage were calm and strong, but now when they saw their friends and relatives, their emotions immediately burst out. It was very lively. Some were crying, some were laughing, some were bragging that how they stayed calm when facing danger, and so on.
“Senior Brother, I survived because Hero Li killed the fierce beasts at the risk of his life. You come with me to see him! Hero Li is virtuous and handsome. It will be a pity if you don’t get to know him! If you don’t know Hero Li in your life, it will be a joke to claim yourself a hero!”
The bearded cultivator excitedly pulled a handsome young man and came to Li Ye through the crowd. “Hero Li, this is my Senior Brother. He’s here to see you!”
The handsome young man was stunned when he saw Li Ye. Li Ye looked very bad. His clothes were dyed red with blood, and there was no clean place. There were scratches in a lot of places, looking tattered.
When he noticed Li Ye’s cultivation realm, the handsome young man understood what was going on. Li Ye was in the Ground Immortal Realm, so no wonder that he could turn the tide of the battle and save his junior brother. But from Li Ye’s appearance, he knew that the battle was particularly difficult. Even though he was in the Ground Immortal Realm, he would have a slim chance of survival when facing so many fierce beasts.
The handsome young man quickly bowed with cupped fists and expressed his thanks with respect. “Brother Li, you’re righteous. I admire you! My junior brother can survive because you saved him at the risk of your life. Please accept this magic tool. I am very grateful!”
While saying this, the handsome young man took out a copper bell-like magic tool and handed it to Li Ye.
Li Ye’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect that someone would give him a magic tool after the battle ended. Moreover, the magic tool was good-looking, so it must be high-ranking. Although it was not a Magic Treasure, it couldn’t be underestimated.
Li Ye smiled broadly and was about to take it, but the bearded cultivator pressed down the handsome young man’s hand. He looked righteous and said angrily, “Senior Brother, what kind of person do you think Hero Li is? He saved us because of righteousness, and he never thought of obtaining a return! Previously, we wanted to take out our treasures to thank him, but he refused us sternly! Senior Brother, you are insulting Hero Li’s personality. Put away your magic tool. Don’t let Hero Li laugh at you!”
“Ah? Is that so?” The handsome young man quickly put away the magic tool, for fear that Li Ye would be unhappy.
Li Ye was speechless.
“Dude, why are you so upright? Do you know me so well?”
“I didn’t say anything, but I lost a nonpareil magic tool.”
“I didn’t want your magic tools because I didn’t like them, but this is a treasure of the Immortal Realm, and it’s valuable. It’s different from yours. Why don’t I want it? I want it!”
Li Ye wanted to cry and looked at the sky, speechless. “What a man did produces corresponding results, and no one will be spared. I did too much acting!”
“Brother Li, you’re a rare character in the world. If you need my help in the future, I, Zhao Junyi, will never shrink from any sacrifice!” the handsome young man said with respect.
Li Ye smiled reluctantly. “Brother Zhao, it’s very kind of you.”
