Chapter 2319 South Wind Knows My Intentions

In the whole Qi State, Shimen County was a miserable place. Although it covered a large area, most of it was desert. The products were not abundant and the climate was harsh.

The hinterland of the Eastern Region is relatively fertile, and Gobi Desert is actually not common. This landform was formed entirely due to war.

As a hero in the restoration of the country, the first generation of Cuicheng Hou had a lot of rich lands to choose from, but he chose to guard the border for his country.

The most difficult environment in Qi gave rise to a famous family like the Li family that destroyed the city.

They were even nominally the number one family in Qi State.

The spirit tablet of the first generation of the City Destroyer was always enshrined in the main shrine of the National Defense Hall.

But compared with the environment of Ice Phoenix Island, Shimen County can be considered a blessed land.

This island is located in the northernmost part of the offshore archipelago, desolate and cold. The north wind howls all year round, and the frost cuts the face.

It was only after these years of operation that it gradually took shape.

Qi's road to maritime power was divided into several steps. At first, it did not directly compete with Diaohailou for maritime power, but built Cassiae Island, consolidated maritime defense, increased investment in the war of the mystery world, and assumed more responsibility for defending the sea. At the same time, it implemented the "aristocratic families going to sea" strategy, giving the aristocratic families in the country the right to explore and allowing them to expand on the sea on their own.

As time goes by, it has had an indelible influence on the offshore islands.

This was also the important reason why Qi State was able to immediately take over Zhenhai League and successfully control the nearby seas when Diaohai Tower was in turmoil.

Different from the islands with excellent geographical location and convenient trade such as "Bajiao" and "Chongjia" of Tian family and "Wudong" of Chongxuan family, Li family chose a remote place from the very beginning and explored northward on their own. Li Zhengyan personally formulated the strategy of opening up the sea, saying "Don't compete with others, compete with heaven and earth".

We must fight for human space in the vast world.

Li Fengyao had been to Ice Phoenix Island when she was very young. Li Zhengyan brought her here because he thought that since the girl was delicate, she should be tested by the harsh environment and temper her character. Later, he realized that he was overthinking...

As Qi's national power grew, the open and covert struggles in the nearby seas became more intense.

The development momentum of Ice Phoenix Island was not good, so Li Fengyao later moved here to practice, and officially represented the Shimen Li family to take over the management of the sea.

It was her management of Ice Phoenix Island that made her famous early on, becoming a big sister in the young noble circle of Linzi. Li Longchuan and others shuddered when they raised their eyes.

There is no spring or autumn on the island, only winter.

Li Fengyao, a tall man, was wearing a frosty armor, with his long hair tied up simply, and no helmet. He stood with his hands behind his back on the highest ice peak on the island, like an ice tree on the peak. Looking at the glacier in the distance, he felt colder than the frost and snow.

She is waiting for someone.

Wait for the two people who passed by this island a few days ago, turned back many times to spy on the truth on the island.

The two men thought they were acting unnoticed, and they were indeed careful and secretive, but they didn't know that their evil intentions had already been reflected in the ice mirror.

In the crystal clear heart of frost, any speck of shadow is very conspicuous.

After she became a luminous being, the entire Ice Phoenix Island was within the range of her reflection, and no evil could escape her.

The East China Sea is already the backyard of Qi State. The Zhenhai League is controlled by Qi State. There are Xia corpses on Huai Island, and the sky has even moved to Cassiae Island. The commander of the Xia corpses, Qi Wen, the leader of the Zhenhai League, Ye Henshui, and Du Hou Cao Jie are all here.

But she didn't plan to ask for help.

There are only two gods here, and there are Li family soldiers on the island!

She, Li Fengyao, is a military practitioner. She occupies a large island, has elite troops, and has set up a killing formation. She is also well-rested and is using stillness to overcome movement. Yet she still asks for help. This shows that she has no ability to take on responsibilities, and it brings shame to the Shimen Li family.

Why did the national system flourish?

It was the military strategist who swept across all the temples!
She had to let these villains know what a military monk was!

The waiting time was longer than expected. The two murderers who should have come earlier had no sign of her yet, but she was very patient. War was sometimes hunting, but most of the time it was waiting and chasing. The real confrontation was often over in a very short time.

Those who are in a hurry to succeed often fail in a hurry.

After the collapse of the medieval sky road, she certainly thought about the situation near the coast and knew that a conflict with Jingguo was probably inevitable.

As the representative of Shimen Li Clan at sea, she was bound to be caught in the vortex.
But there are two sides to the matter. This is trouble, but also an opportunity. If Jingguo doesn't come and the maze is locked, there is really no chance to make achievements at sea.

In the larger offshore strategy, Du Hou would definitely be the main force. In the smaller offshore situation, the most important thing she should do now is to consolidate the foundation of Ice Phoenix Island and consolidate its position, rather than rushing to the inner island to show off her power.

Ice Phoenix Island is located in the northernmost part, framing the border of the offshore archipelago. As long as she manages this place well, the people of Jing country will have to look at her face if they want to come here.

After all, Qi has been operating on the sea for so long that it will inevitably have an advantage even if facing direct competition from the world's number one empire.

The strategies for competing with Diaohailou and competing with Jingguo are different.

When competing with Diaohailou, Qi could have taken its time and turned its advantages into a winning position step by step, or even let Diaohailou integrate the offshore islands. This was determined by the strength of both sides. The King of Qi repeatedly let it go, ready to swallow up at any time. All the efforts Diaohailou made in the integration of the islands did indeed serve Qi in the end.

It is different for Jingguo. Although they have the upper hand at present, if they cannot quickly defeat Jingguo's ambitions and form a long-term tug-of-war, the outcome is hard to predict. After all, Jingguo has a rich foundation. Once it has a firm foothold in the coastal area, the subsequent strength will inevitably be endless.

A general cannot just focus on a particular time or place. True victory must be achieved from the overall situation.

Li Fengyao waited and thought silently.

At a certain moment, she suddenly turned her head and looked to the south.

How strange.

On Ice Phoenix Island, a rare south wind blew.

The breeze blew through her hair, swirled around her affectionately, and then reluctantly went away.

We are used to seeing bitterly cold winds in the North Island, but this is such a nice wind.

……

……

Huhuhu~
The wind howled.

Because the flying speed was too fast, the wind towards us was as sharp as a knife.

Tian Anping was not like other cultivators who would use extraordinary strength to neutralize its sharpness. He used his own body to feel it.

Pain is a way of perceiving the world more clearly than any other sensation.

Of course he hadn't felt anything for a long time.

The sea of ​​clouds is rolling and the sunlight is shining golden.

Suddenly, his body stopped, and the stop was too abrupt. The long tail caused by his rapid flight was still screaming forward, breaking through the clouds for thousands of feet. And he became a reef in the wind, standing silently in this sea of ​​clouds.

The sea of ​​clouds itself was calm, the sky was clear and the sea was calm without any wind or rain. But suddenly, a green light burst out from his Taoist body!
The green light was like a fine needle, breaking through the cracks in the Daoyuan. It also found its way into the pores of the skin, like a snake swimming in a hole.

Curse, the green needle!

King Guang of Qin, Yin Guan!

He took revenge without delay. He took Tian Huanwen's immortal pupil and digested the gains in the Palace of Ten Thousand Immortals. Then, he used the water in Tian Huanwen's pupil and the marrow in his blood to launch a counterattack against Tian Anping!

Fearing that he might be a little slow, Tian Anping reacted immediately and made preparations.

During the entire battle at the Wanxian Palace site, Yin Guan did not engage in direct combat, but repeatedly evaded. Relying on his knowledge of the Wanxian Palace, he set traps one after another... Despite this, he was still injured by Tian Anping.

But in the process of madly fleeing, he had already left a curse. It was not until he escaped to a safe distance, thousands of miles away, that he set up an altar and performed a ritual to detonate it.

It’s not that Yama doesn’t kill people, it’s just that it’s not the third watch of the night yet!
A little man in official uniform appeared in the void, holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other. He pointed at Tian Anping and said in a hoarse voice, "Your death is coming!"

Cursed Immortal, Judge of Hell!
The strands of green light suddenly increased ten thousand times.

Tian Anping was suspended in mid-air, barely having time to make any moves. Only to see the thin green needles, already densely packed into his body, as if turning him into a green hedgehog!

So that his face could not be seen and there was not a single gap on his body.

Compared to the King Qin Guang in the Wanxian Palace who was only concerned with escaping, Yin Guan at this moment truly showed his killing power. His killing power also skyrocketed too much!

But Tian Anping just stood there in a very empty state. He could not see any counterattack or even any signs of life.

He was like a dead tree, shriveled and withered.

The green needles swam in his body like a school of fish, constantly shuttling back and forth, yet not breaking apart, and finally formed a huge cloud woven by green light!
The power of the curse has accumulated to this point, and it is already so terrifying that even the founder of the curse can hardly control it.

Wherever it passes, people will die. If it falls into this sea, there will be no life in the vast ocean.

At this moment, Tian Anping raised his eyelids and opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, the green needles in the sky made way for his eyes, becoming two abrupt holes in the green clouds.

He looked outwards, surrounded by the power of the spell, and following the connection of the spell, he went upstream, and arrived in a thought. It was as if he was thousands of miles away, and he saw the towering altar in the void. He saw King Qin Guang standing on the altar with long hair hanging down to his heels.

Compared to the crazy, murderous green eyes of King Qin Guang, Tian Anping's eyes were quite ordinary. Neither sharp nor fierce.

There was interest in his eyes. What he saw in King Qin Guang was a path that was very different from everyone else's. It was the truth of the world that probably belonged only to Yin Guan. He was willing to see more possibilities in this person.

As for Yin Guan, he felt that his Biyou needle had pierced into the void!
Clearly, there was a curse of immortality, and this power was so strong, but after piercing this Taoist body, it disappeared. Logically, one needle from Biyou should have killed him, but with millions of needles, everything should have died.

But there seemed to be nothing inside Tian Anping's body. This body was just a withered, empty shell.

How can a real person in this world be a fake shell?
Tian Anping is naturally "real". He slowly raised his hand. As he raised his hand, the dense green needles on his hand disappeared in large chunks, like dirty water flowing on the floor tiles, which was wiped away by a rag and left a large blank space.

This raised hand and these open eyes became the "pure land" on this Taoist body that was not contaminated by the power of the curse.

He raised his hand to the level of the sea, and his five overly pale fingers spread out like this -

Countless lines flew out from above the clouds. No one knew where these lines came from or why they were created. They shuttled across the sky, forming tiles and walls, and in an instant, they formed a square city.

It is a real city, not just a model.

It is so huge that it seems to contain the entire sea of ​​clouds.

boom!
The city fell.

As the city fell, a terrifying suction force seemed to be created.

The densely packed green needles on Tian Anping's body rose into the air one by one, like thousands of birds flying into a forest, whistling and flying into the city.

Even if it penetrated deep into Tian Anping's body, into his bones and marrow, wisps of green light would retreat and head towards the city.

Only Yin Guan could feel that it was not this city that had a great influence on the Biyou Needles, but these Biyou Needles, following the connection of the curse, went to curse and kill the real Tian Anping!
Is this city Tian Anping?
Hanging above the gate of the square city was a plaque with the word "Ji" clearly written in the rhythm of Taoism.

"Jicheng" is here.

This is Tian Anping’s inner palace!

The green needles in his body had been removed, and standing in the clouds, Tian Anping's facial features were clear again. He was still wearing a thin coat, and his hands were broken, but he was unharmed. He looked at Yin Guan from a distance, without moving his eyes.

And from his body, there was still a green light flying out, which was the remaining curse power, going towards the city -

When he was in the ruins of the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace, he had not yet been able to detect the hidden power of Yin Guan. Or even if he had detected it, it would have been impossible to eliminate it completely. But now he has already shown his understanding of the power of the curse, allowing it to be seen in his body!

After the green light flew away, Tian Anping became ethereal for a moment. At this moment, one could see that within Tian Anping's empty body, there was a vague cosmic void and stars flowing like clouds.

His inner palace is outside, which is a city.

His outer building is within, the center of the universe.

The opening paragraph of the "Ten Thousand Immortals Arriving at the Worship" in the Wanxian Palace reads at the end:

“Man is the universe, man is the universe, man is the immortal among all immortals!”

Yin Guan and Tian Anping each plundered a part of the inheritance, and each had a different understanding, and did not follow the old path. They started from different directions, one first cultivated the immortal of all immortals, and the other first refined the human body universe.

Come here to fight.

Yin Guan's Biyou needle pierced into Tian Anping's Taoist body, but it flew into the vast universe, so naturally his real body could not be found.

At this moment, "Jicheng" is like a cage, and the green flying bird is caught and put into the cage.

People approach the eating utensils to eat, the so-called "immediately"! Can't wait!
Tian Anping drew a line on his index finger with his thumb, and blood immediately spurted out. He used his finger to draw a human figure in the air. With a press of his finger, the human figure drawn in blood turned into a piece of paper with a human figure drawn on the edge of blood and an empty mirror inside.

His fingers were still bleeding as he began to write on the torso of the human-shaped paper... "Yin Guan"!
The paper burst into flames.

The flying ashes swept up the black power and flew straight into the void.

He had probably studied the power of spells a long time ago, and learned something from his confrontation with Yin Guan.

At this moment, he turned around and cursed Yin Guan!

Click!

The finger he used to write people's names was strangely bent backwards at this moment, with white bones protruding outwards!

After all, spells are Yin Guan’s main path.

Tian Anping was undoubtedly hit back!

Even his pupils shattered like glass at this moment, and the cracks were filled with blood.

But he just closed his eyelids, and when he opened them again, his eyes had recovered. With a blank expression, he bent his broken index finger back into place.

The image of Yin Guan being watched in the void had disappeared, and along with it, the power of the curse. Seeing that things were hopeless, the leader of Hell without a Gate left without hesitation.

Tian Anping opened his mouth and swallowed his own city.

He did not chase Yin Guan, he could not catch up, and there was no need to do so. He turned around and flew towards Tianyatai.

In front of Tianyatai... the appointment is here!
