They laughed at me and said I was a monkey, what was the Monkey King so scared of?

Chapter 65: Duke Wei Ling Hui Yong, General Zhou!

But the sound came too late. After the golden-framed wooden stick with golden light and flames flashed by, the young man in black robe who was originally standing upright on the ground rolled his eyes and opened his mouth slightly. The male and female swords in his hands lost their supporting strength at this moment and fell to the ground with two "clangs".

In his sight, there was a "pop" sound on his chest, and the blood blurred the scene in front of his eyes. The breath of wind floated back and forth, and a slight chill came from the hole in his chest.

"How...how could..."

He looked down stiffly at his chest which was pierced by a stick, his eyes full of disbelief. He turned his head and glanced at Li Yan behind him: "You...are...who..."

"Your Monkey." The other party didn't have the energy to finish the question, so Li Yan answered for him and watched him fall to the ground with a plop.

Only then did Li Yan turn his head to look at the owner of the voice. The man was a stranger, wearing a black uniform and carrying a long sword on his back. The blade was straight and looked bright under the refraction of sunlight.

He looked surprised at the moment and approached Li Yan: "Didn't I tell you not to kill him?"

Li Yan glanced at him and asked, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The uniformed young man's face froze. He didn't expect this junior fellow to be so difficult to communicate with. He took a deep breath and showed a friendly attitude:

"Okay, let me make it clear first that I have no hostility towards you. Also, I know your name is Li Yan, and I am your senior brother."

Hearing the word "senior brother", Li Yan gradually restrained his sharp aura, and the golden-framed wooden stick in his hand disappeared at this moment. He asked:

"Are you also a disciple of the [Deep Space Department]?"

"Yes, and I report directly to Minister Huang." The man in black uniform breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yan had calmed down. "My name is Liu Mian. I entered the [Deep Space Department] two years earlier than you. Minister Huang knew that you were going to enter the [Ancient Battlefield] today, and he was a little worried, so he asked me to take care of you in private. But what he didn't expect was..."

He turned his head to look at the dead body of Heisha lying behind Li Yan: "You don't seem to need my care."

He looked away again: "The reason why I told you not to kill Heisha just now is not because he cannot be killed, but because there is a big force behind him, and it will bring trouble to you. Now, while no one knows you, take your people and follow me."

Li Yan did not refuse Liu Mian's proposal.

Firstly, the fact that he knew about the existence of Huang Luoqing and the [Deep Space Department] showed that what he said was not false. Secondly, judging from his eyes, he did not have any intention of killing.

In this way, Li Yan brought Qianli Pangpang and Yang Jian to follow Liu Mian into the rocky path, passed through cracks and entered a cave, and finally walked out of the cave and completely left the rocky area.

However, along the way, Li Yan had a question in his heart that he had been holding back for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but ask:
"Um, Senior Brother Liu, why were those people from Heisha so obsessed with Guan Yu's equipment just now? They were willing to take it even at the cost of their lives."

"Why else? For Duke Wei Ling Hui Yong." Liu Mian walked in front and said, "In fact, the people who entered the [Ancient Battlefield] this time are quite lucky. There is a [Gate of Illusion] that opens directly at the [Outskirts], which is quite rare."

"Before you came in, someone entered this [Gate of Illusion] and entered the corresponding world of an ancient general. According to the description of the person who came out, the general was called 'Duke Wei Ling Hui Yong'."

"Duke Weiling Huiyong?" Qianli Pangpang and Yang Jian looked confused, not knowing who this person was.

But Li Yan was different. He muttered to himself: "Zhou Cang, a follower of Guan Yu..." "Yes." Liu Mian explained, "I did learn a little about him in the [Book of Ancient Saints]. It was Zhou Cang."

"Then what does this have to do with Guan Yu's equipment?" Yang Jian asked.

"It's a big deal." Liu Mian said, "So far, there have been many awakened people who have entered the [Zhou Cang Illusion Gate], but until now, no one has succeeded in getting Zhou Cang to follow and agree to the contract. Zhou Cang even said, 'How dare a group of juniors from where dare to take me in?', which made the awakened people very disappointed."

"But by chance, someone discovered that he admired Guan Yu very much. If someone could take out items related to Guan Yu or had communicated with Guan Yu, or knew Guan Yu, then Zhou Cang's favorability would be greatly improved. When the favorability reaches a certain limit, there would be a chance to contract Zhou Cang and recruit him."

"Don't you think about it? This is the [Outer Circle]. Before entering the [Inner Circle], there is a chance to contract and recruit ancient warriors. How excited and crazy those who have never been able to enter the [Inner Circle] must be."

"So that's how it is..." After hearing Liu Mian's words, everyone understood.

But at this moment, Li Yan suddenly stopped. Liu Mian and others realized it and stopped and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"I want to try it." said Li Yan.

"You want to get involved too?" Liu Mian was surprised, his eyes fell on the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Li Yan's hand and Guan Yu's battle robe in Qianli Pangpang's hand.
"Indeed, you now have items related to Guan Yu, which can greatly increase Zhou Cang's favorability towards you."

"But now Zhou Cang has experienced a lot of interference from awakened people. He is now resistant to those who actively show their affection for him. Moreover, he is now entrenched in the mountain stronghold. He is just a bandit and is difficult to convince. If you make him angry, he will come out to kill you."

Li Yan looked calm, but turned around and looked at Qianli Pangpang: "Fatty, do you like Zhou Cang?"

Everyone was confused and didn't know what Li Yan meant. Qianli Pangpang could only try to say:
"Of course I like him. I like any ancient god general. I don't have any god generals to protect me right now. Maybe he can protect me."

"Then give me the Guan Yu robe in your hand and I'll go help you." Li Yan said, and then turned back to look at Liu Mian, "Brother Liu, please lead the way."

"Hiss..." Liu Mian really couldn't understand his junior brother. Why did he have such courage and determination? Wasn't he afraid of death?
……

Hunyuan Realm, the Three Kingdoms of China.

In the brightly lit wooden house, a woman was tied to a cross. Her hands and feet were shackled with heavy shackles. Her hair was disheveled and she was unable to move. Only the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest showed that she was still alive.

Right in front of the woman, a burly man put a pair of tongs into the fire and waited for them to turn red.

At this time, he continued to look from head to toe at the young woman tied to the cross, muttering:
"What should be thin is thin, what should be big is big, and what should be white is white. I have to say that you are the most beautiful woman with the fair skin that I have ever seen since I became the leader of the mountain village..."

After saying this, the burly man took out the tongs, seeing that they were burning red, and walked towards the woman:

"It's a pity that she's not very obedient and keeps her mouth shut. Otherwise, we could consider making her our wife and having a baby with her..."
