The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 160 The storm is coming
After hearing the battle report, Li Tiangang's frown did not change, he just nodded slightly.

Then, he looked towards the dark land outside the vast territory.

"These demons have been harassing us repeatedly, testing our military strength in the east."

"Brother Wu is guarding the west side. The demons have already discovered it. They may come from the north or south..."

When he mentioned the South, his eyes narrowed.

In the south of Liangzhou is Tianmen Pass.

When he thought of the pass, he thought of the stubborn and unyielding figure of the young man and those stubborn and cold eyes.

The wrinkles between his brows deepened.

"Marshal, the young master killed the little demon king in Dayue City before, so the old demon king of Wanshan will not give up easily."

Beside him, Li Fu said with a worried look.

He looked at the wounded soldiers all around him and thought of the young man at Tianmen Pass. He knew very well how severe the wind and snow were at the border.

Li Tiangang remained calm and said, "That little demon king is extremely talented. The old demon king of Wanshan will never give up. He may collude with other demons to invade together."

"Then..." Li Fu couldn't help but look at him.

Li Tiangang said calmly: "Hao'er has a Four-Standing Realm master secretly protecting him. He is an old friend of my second uncle. He also has the Qilin from the Tan Palace Academy. He should be fine."

"I am leading the army to attack Liangzhou this time, and I will temporarily leave all matters in the mansion to my eldest sister-in-law. No one will look after my second uncle, and no one can control him. He will probably lose his patience and go to Tianmen Pass."

"With them here, even if the old Demon King Wanshan gathers the other two Demon Kings outside Tianmen Pass to attack, he will be able to protect himself. We can also take this opportunity to clear out the Demon Kings outside Tianmen Pass and let the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau take care of them. Then we don't have to abandon Tianmen Pass."

The previous plan to abandon Tianmen Pass was a helpless move.

If it can be preserved, that would be the best.

After all, this is the place opened up by the late emperor and the ancestors of the Li family, and it is soaked with the blood of countless predecessors.

Li Fu was slightly stunned. If that was the case, then wouldn't that mean that Li Hao was being used to lure the demon king outside the pass?
"If the young master participates in the battle in the Four Realms, wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Li Fu asked worriedly.

"If he doesn't want to participate, he can just retreat. As long as he lowers his head, the Divine General's Mansion will be waiting for him to return at any time."

Li Tiangang said coldly: "I sent him a letter before, trying to give him a way out, but he was too proud to admit his mistakes and didn't even reply to my letter!"

"In that case, let those demon kings punish him and let him know what cruelty and despair are. When he experiences life and death, he will know how ridiculous his rebelliousness is!"

"But the young master is still young after all, and it's normal for him to have a youthful spirit. Will this method..."

"No need to say it."

Li Tiangang waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "This is the Eastern Territory. Liangzhou could be in danger at any time. According to the previous detection, Longmen has also appeared. And the Holy Palace in Yanbei is also an old friend. This time they plan to move their position and use Liangzhou as a gap. This may be a tough battle that is not inferior to Yanbei. Don't be distracted!"

Li Fu opened his mouth slightly, gave a bitter smile, and said nothing more.

At this moment, a bird swooped down and fell from the clouds like an arrow.

Li Tiangang looked up, then raised his hand, and the rapidly swooping bird quickly stopped and landed on his forearm.

Fei Que's chest swelled and a letter flew out of its beak.

"It's the eldest lady's lark."

Li Fu recognized the bird demon that was delivering the message as a battlefield messenger specially raised by the Godly General's Mansion.

Li Tiangang took the letter, spread it out, looked at it for a few seconds, and his expression changed slightly.

"Marshal, is there something wrong in Qingzhou?" Li Fu couldn't help but ask.

Li Tiangang's face was gloomy. He pinched the letter with his fingers and it turned into ashes.

"The second favor..."

Li Tiangang crushed the letter with his fingers and clenched them into a fist.

He thought back to the past in Yanbei, when he heard that Li Hao could not practice, he rushed out of the army alone, killed a three-immortal demon, and transported its precious blood back.

Now, the young man presented the precious blood of the Nine Cauldrons Demon King to repay the kindness he had shown him.

Does this mean we are even?

Li Tiangang felt a wave of emotion in his heart, not sure whether it was discomfort or anger.

He could even recall the young man's cold eyes when he returned the Demon King's blood.

In addition, the letter also mentioned that there were four demon kings that attacked Tianmen Pass. Fortunately, Tianji Tower and the second uncle came to reinforce and drove away the demon kings.

There were four demon kings and such a scene. Although Li Tiangang was not at Tianmen Pass, he could still feel the danger there.

He was expecting Tianjilou and his second uncle to come to help, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but he also had some indescribable complicated emotions.

He suddenly understood that the young man was famous all over the world, and even if he did not have connections with the Li family, there would be too many people who would pay attention to him.

If we try to force it back by brute force alone, too many people will become an obstacle.

And these people will become the support for the child's stubbornness and toughness.

"Next, are you planning to guard Tianmen Pass for three years and then cut it off?"

Li Tiangang murmured in his heart, with a cold look in his eyes. He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and turned his attention back to the battlefield in Liangzhou.

He understood that the child was so stubborn and must be determined to stick to one path to the end.

The previous Qingzhou War made the Li family famous, but it was a bad name that was ridiculed. After all, it was a father-son war, and although most people denounced Li Hao and said he was unfilial, in the final analysis, it was still about the Li family.

He would not let such a scandal happen again.

After the battle in Liangzhou is over, or the situation in the eastern border stabilizes, Li Tiangang plans to go to Tianmen Pass in person and bring the other party back!
He didn't take that so-called agreement seriously, so it didn't matter if he tore it up.

He would not let Li Hao really leave the Li family so easily.

……

……

Outside the Great Wall of Black Stone, in a swamp a thousand miles away.

The swamp stretches for hundreds of miles, with surging mud and occasional bursting mud bubbles.

Waves of unpleasant stench emanated from the swamp. Suddenly, the mud in the swamp was stirred, and a huge figure stretched out from it. It was a dragon.

Its body twisted and coiled in the swamp, its scales covered in mud, and its green eyes seemed to hold a strong poison.

"Have you found out? Li Tiangang is indeed in charge of the Eastern Territory."

"To the west is the fifth son of the Li family, to the east is Li Tiangang, and in Cangzhou, the whereabouts of the eighth son of the Li family have been revealed."

"The two old guys from the Li family still have to stay in Qingzhou."

Several figures appeared above the mire swamp, wearing black robes, but the edges of the robes revealed the inner clothes, which were dark gold and extremely luxurious.

"At present, our people have not yet moved to Liangzhou, but the rumors that have been leaked have already made the Li family like a frightened bird."

One of the black-robed figures laughed strangely, and while speaking he would occasionally stick out his forked tongue and lick his cheeks and nose.

Another black-robed figure next to him saw his subconscious action, frowned and said unhappily:
"Can you please stop this disgusting habit of yours? We are going to survive the catastrophe and transform into dragons. We are trying our best to shed our dragon bodies. It's really disgusting that you still retain this snake nature."

"That's you guys. I'm not planning on turning into a dragon. I want to become a giant snake!"

The person who came before said with a sinister smile.

His words actually concealed some thoughts, which was that he not only wanted to become a big snake, but also wanted to become a big snake that eats dragons!

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, the people nearby snorted coldly and expressed their dissatisfaction.

"You guys came here just to quarrel, right? Just say what you want to say, I need to go back to sleep after that."

The mud dragon in the swamp said lazily.

"The elders told you to gather some small forces from time to time to attack the Eastern Territory and contain Li Tiangang. In a short while, the Holy Palace will take over this place."

"The Holy Palace and Li Tiangang are old enemies. They have been fighting here since Yanbei. They have said that they will skin Li Tiangang alive and eat him. This time, there is no help from the Sword Saint of Yanbei, nor the favor from the Desert Sword Saint. Let's see what Li Tiangang can do to stop them!"

"This Liangzhou land is barren and has never produced any heroes. Even if there were any, they are either dead or have long since disappeared."

"Humph, if I could defeat him, I would go and find trouble with Li Tiangang."

“Let’s just forget about it. This brat Li Tiangang, although not from the older generation of the Li family, is also at the peak of the Three Immortals. I heard in Yanbei that he killed more than a dozen Three Immortals monsters in a row. He’s very terrifying!”

"Fortunately, the ninth brother of the Li family died in the battle of Cangzhou, otherwise our demon clan would have another powerful enemy!"

"Enough of the small talk, we still have to go to the north to have a look."

"In the north, it borders Youzhou. The Xia family is stationed there, so it's a bit tricky. We can't break through from there."

"Originally, the best route would have been to break through from the south, but I heard that Li Tiangang's son is over there, and he is being guarded by the Four Li Realms. So we have no choice but to change our route."

As the black-robed figures spoke, they waved to the mud dragon in the swamp and flew towards the north.

"I heard that the Xia family doesn't have a good relationship with the Li family. Let's go and test them first to see if the Xia family will cross the border to help if we invade the north."

One of the black-robed figures said.

……

……

Tianmen Pass, Cangya City.

With the help of many warriors, Cangya City has been basically completed.

The old star official from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau was busy constructing a magic array here with several of his students, sweating profusely.

Xia Xianglan was no longer as lively and playful as before. Instead, she followed her master quietly, helping him seriously, while also observing and learning seriously.

Only occasionally would she look up and take a look at the city, but she could only see the outline of the small fenced courtyard.

Li Hao wrote to Ren Qianqian a method of soul refining that he had integrated and modified. The level of cultivation that this method of soul refining could reach was close to that of the royal family.

The soul-refining method he practiced, which required him to master several techniques, was able to surpass that of the royal family.

While Ren Qianqian was practicing in the camp, Li Hao took the Long Xiao Sword, threw the little white fox onto the mat in the yard, and then walked out of the pass alone.

The three demon kings have already escaped. I wonder if I can run into them again in their lair.

Li Hao now urgently needs a demon king to practice with.
