Chapter 389 Choosing a Wife
Liu Yi's eyes were blank as he stared straight at the entrance to the secret realm at the foot of the mountain that was emitting a mysterious light. His heart was like a raging storm and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He pushed his legs with a little force, and jumped down from the tree like an agile monkey, landing steadily on the ground.
After landing, Liu Yi stood still, silent, just standing there quietly, as if time had frozen at this moment.
After a long while, he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze towards Liu Yuntian who had just jumped off the tree not far behind him. He opened his lips slightly and asked with a trembling voice, "Is it enough to just lead them to defeat you?"
As soon as Liu Yuntian's feet touched the ground, he strode to the side of Mo Qilin, turned over and rode on him with swift movements.
He sat on the broad back of the black unicorn, looking down at Liu Yi from a high position, and said in a deep voice: "Defeating me is not the ultimate goal. What is really important is to awaken the wildness hidden deep in the hearts of the sheep!"
After saying this, he did not give Liu Yi any time to think or respond. He just squeezed the horse's belly suddenly, and the black unicorn instantly rushed out like an arrow.
At the same time, Liu Yuntian's majestic words continued to echo in the air: "The sheep flock, in addition to often suffering ruthless cruelty from the superiors, also likes to harm each other at the bottom, but has an endless tolerance of slavery towards other races."
However, Liu Yidu had no time to hesitate at this moment, and Liu Yuntian's voice came again: "So, in this secret realm battle, your first task is to openly rebel against Daliang and join the flock."
"Let the sheep retain the elites from the mutual harm. Your first hurdle... is Zhongzhou."
"Wu Hui and Mei Nan are the whetstones I prepared for you, make good use of them..."
The sound gradually dissipated in the air.
Liu Yi was immersed in the cold wind on the top of the mountain. After a long while, he murmured, "The three powers of the sheep, the three powers of the human race, and even the three powers of the immortals..."
Finally, he raised his head to look at the full moon and sneered, "Haha, shepherd? It turns out that you are not immune to bleeding, but our knives... were swung in the wrong direction!"
…………
The next morning.
The sunlight shines through the mottled leaves onto the backyard path, forming a pattern of interlaced light and shadow.
Liu Yuntian walked out slowly from the backyard.
As per convention, he would go to the court again today and throw a tantrum as usual to vent his dissatisfaction as a powerful official who had lost his power.
After standing still, Liu Yuntian took a deep breath and began to tidy up the gorgeous dragon robe on his body.
He carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on his sleeves, making sure every detail was perfect.
At this moment, the attendant Wang Shu came forward respectfully, holding a jade belt in both hands.
This jade belt is carved from flawless white jade, inlaid with dazzling gems, and exudes a warm luster.
Liu Yuntian nodded slightly, reached out to take the jade belt, and tied it around his waist gracefully and skillfully.
Everything was ready. Liu Yuntian suddenly remembered an important matter. He turned to look at Wang Shu and asked, "Did anyone from Zhongzhou go there?"
Under the official system of Liang State today, every county not only has a county governor responsible for managing local affairs, but also has a hundred households of the Embroidered Uniform Guard stationed there.
These Jinyiwei had important tasks to do. Not only did they have to supervise whether the county governors were fair and honest and did not abuse their power, they also had to undertake a certain degree of rebellion suppression tasks and serve as a deterrent to those immortals and major sects who attempted to disrupt the order of the world.
Not long ago, Mei Nan was promoted to become the county magistrate of Qiyang City.
Naturally, there were also a corresponding number of Jinyiwei there.
However, the sudden appearance of this secret realm will undoubtedly attract countless independent cultivators from all over the place and disciples from major sects to flock here.
It is obviously far from enough to rely solely on the Jinyiwei forces originally stationed in Zhongzhou to deal with such a complicated situation.
Therefore, when Liu Yuntian returned last night, he specifically ordered the urgent dispatch of an elite team to provide support.
"Reporting to Lord Liu, Qiyang City already has a Jinyiwei team led by a centurion stationed here. Now we have specially sent a thousand-man team led by him to provide support. In addition, Qiyang City also has a considerable number of national defense troops. In this way, the three forces will cooperate with each other to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
Ever since the demise of the Baihua Wuji and the Beast Taming Spiritual Medicine Holy Land, many cultivators who had originally relied on the holy lands have turned to the Northern Frontier to seek refuge.
Because of this, the size of the Jinyiwei rapidly expanded to an unprecedented level.
Nowadays, in addition to Qi Xing, the commander of a thousand households, who has always retained his position, nine new commanders have been added.
Each of these thousand households has completely different and important responsibilities.
Among them are those responsible for catching criminals, managing prison affairs, supervising literary academies, carrying out secret investigations, specializing in assassinations, controlling business channels, developing poisons, performing supervisory functions, and those stationed in various places.
The person who was sent to Qiyang City this time was the captain who was in charge of the assassination.
Every thousand households possesses the powerful strength of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. No matter among those solitary cultivators or within the major immortal sects, such a level of cultivation is undoubtedly among the top powerhouses!
Hearing this, Liu Yuntian nodded slightly, expressing his approval: "Well, that's good. In addition, let's also issue some bounty tasks to the Juxian Tower. This way, they won't be idle all day long and can all go and join in the fun."
After pausing for a moment, he added, "It would be even better if more people could die. The Juxian Tower can hardly accommodate so many people."
Wang Shu quickly responded respectfully: "Yes."
As soon as the two stepped into the front yard, they saw a large group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes entering the Liu Mansion one after another.
The scene was so lively and dazzling.
Seeing this, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but stop walking forward, his eyes fixed on the group of strangers in front of him, pointing at them with a puzzled look on his face, and asked: "What are these people doing? Why did they break into our Liu Mansion in such a blatant manner?"
Wang Shu, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and replied softly, "Mr. Liu, these are the distinguished guests invited by the old master."
"I heard that they are from noble families all over the Qiyang Continent, and they all came here to apply for the position of the Liu family's principal wife."
"Main wife?"
Liu Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this word. Some thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. Then the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he asked in disbelief, "My legal wife?"
