Chapter 251 It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away
General Duan and the two Jindan guards were stunned for a moment, their minds went blank.
Only two words kept echoing in their ears: It's over, it's over, it's over...
The "crown prince" is dead, what will happen to them who are responsible for protecting the "crown prince"?
Although Xi Hansong is not a real crown prince, and Elder Xi is not an emperor, it is definitely easy to control them!
I'm afraid that once they return to the Huangji Soul Sect, they will be questioned for entering the sect with their left foot first.
The two Jindan guards came to their senses and looked at the battlefield in front of them. An idea became stronger in their hearts.
Defection!
Escape quickly, escape to the territory of the Flame Blood Demon Sect, maybe you can still save your life!
Staying in the territory of the Huangji Soul Sect, there is almost no way to survive.
It may even be worse than death.
At the same time, others also have their own thoughts.
General Wu and General Duan were just pretending to fight before, but Xi Hansong's death made them stop.
General Wu only thought that this matter was troublesome, but it was more of a loss of interests, so he was not as panicked as General Duan.
General Duan was terrified. After a short moment of daze, he was terrified, and then furious!
He vented all his anger on General Wu on the opposite side!
He and General Wu had clearly agreed, how could such a small matter be messed up?
He felt that General Wu was deliberately making trouble for him, and in a rage, he directly attacked General Wu.
Although General Wu knew that he was in the wrong, he had to fight back when someone hit him.
So, the two Yuanying demon cultivators went from "fake fighting" to "real fighting"!
The power and momentum of the fight also rose several levels.
"Run!"
As soon as the Yuanying cultivators started fighting, the foundation-building generals and the Qi training cannon fodder who were lucky enough not to die ran faster.
They were all afraid of being affected by the aftermath of the Yuanying cultivators' fight.
Li Xiuchang and Motuna were even running in the front.
The two knew that General Wu was probably looking for an opportunity to get rid of them.
And dying in the aftermath of the battle between the Yuanying cultivators was a very reasonable way to die.
Of course, the two were not afraid of General Wu's targeting, but once he was targeted... General Wu would have to die.
Li Xiuchang didn't care whether General Wu died or not, he just didn't want to throw away his current vest and start over.
The two Jindan guards also took action, running in the same direction as Li Xiuchang and his men, and mixed in with the remaining soldiers of the Yanxue Demon Sect.
This was their only chance to escape, and the two had to seize it.
The soldiers of the Yanxue Demon Sect panicked and thought that the two Jindan guards were chasing them, but they found that after the Jindan guards approached them, they did not attack them.
In fact, the two Jindan guards also hated the foundation-building generals of the Yanxue Demon Sect. If it weren't for the foundation-building generals who killed Xi Hansong together, the two of them would not have been so embarrassed.
Especially for Li Xiuchang, they hated him so much.
At the beginning, it was Li Xiuchang who broke their cultivation, which led to the current situation. When Xi Hansong died, Li Xiuchang used a large number of evil spirits to interfere with them, making them miss the opportunity to rescue Xi Hansong.
The two wanted to kill Li Xiuchang.
But when they thought that they were about to escape to the territory of the Flame Blood Demon Sect, it was unwise to kill the generals of the Flame Blood Demon Sect at this time, so the two had to endure it.
Soon, Li Xiuchang and his men fled back to the rear military camp.
The two Jindan guards directly crossed the military camp and fled far away, and several guards did not dare to stop them.
Looking back at the battlefield at this time, only General Wu and General Duan were still fighting.
As the fight went on, General Duan gradually regained his sanity and knew that continuing to fight with General Wu would not have any results.
When he found that the two Jindan guards actually took the opportunity to escape, his eyes went dark again and he almost vomited blood.
This meant that he was left alone as Elder Xi's punching bag!
He said decisively: "Hand over the murderer to me, and the matter is over."
He is different from the two Jindan guards. He is a disciple of the Huangji Soul Sect. His cultivation and status are not comparable to those two Jindan guards.
So this matter will not cause him to lose his life, but it is inevitable to be suppressed and retaliated.
But if the murderer can be caught and he can share some of the anger of Elder Xi, it will make his situation much better.
"You should have said it earlier!" General Wu said angrily, "Everyone has run back to the barracks, how can I hand them over to you?"
If General Duan rushed into the barracks to catch people, he would have to quit tomorrow.
"You don't give it to me? You have hurt me so much, you dog..."
"Next time, no, tomorrow, tomorrow, I will send those generals to the battlefield again, and you will catch them all!" General Wu promised.
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow will be too late! Send them to this general now!"
The two could not reach an agreement and continued to fight.
In the end, the battle ended somehow, probably because the two were tired.
In short, Li Xiuchang and his men only saw General Wu dragging his wounds back to the barracks.
...
General Wu felt very uncomfortable.
All the benefits promised by General Duan were gone.
In his heart, Li Xiuchang should at least take half the responsibility for this matter.
But he couldn't punish Li Xiuchang because he had no reason.
Li Xiuchang killed the enemy on the battlefield, which was a meritorious performance. He could only reward him. If he punished him, it would make the people under him uneasy and make other soldiers resist.
As for privately attacking his soldiers and killing them, that was even more unacceptable.
For the higher-ups, every soldier who goes to the border battlefield is a clan resource. The information of every soldier must be recorded, and the reason for death must be reported uniformly.
And every soldier who died in battle must be exchanged back from the other side at an equivalent value.
If a general kills his soldiers, it is tantamount to stealing clan resources, which is corruption.
If he is found out, the crime is not small.
General Wu is unwilling to take risks for this. After all, he and Li Xiuchang do not have a deep hatred.
General Wu had a headache for a while. This Li Xiuchang is like a thorn in his eyes, and he does not know how to deal with it.
Let Li Xiuchang go to the battlefield to die, not only did he not die, but also caused chaos.
If he is not allowed to go to the battlefield, there is no way to get rid of him.
"Let him go to the battlefield a few more times to see if he can be killed."
"If not, transfer him away to avoid him being an eyesore, but I don't know if he is willing to leave."
General Wu does not have the power to transfer soldiers, but Li Xiuchang can apply for transfer himself after meeting the conditions.
…
Li Xiuchang knew that his killing of Xi Hansong would definitely cause a series of changes.
But he didn't know what would happen, because he didn't know Xi Hansong's true identity, and he didn't even know the name "Xi Hansong".
He only knew that it was said that the person in charge of the opposite military camp was changed within two days.
General Duan, who had always wanted to return to the Huangji Soul Sect to continue his studies, got his wish and was recalled to the sect in advance.
In addition, General Wu, who originally thought that this incident would not have much impact on him, also suffered some pressure from above.
This is equivalent to a "diplomatic incident" that cannot be put on the table.
The border battlefield is a place deliberately established by the five major demon sects to exchange resources for their disciples.
Xi Hansong's coming to the battlefield to refine souls and form pills this time is actually a routine cooperation between the Yanxue Demon Sect and the Huangji Soul Sect. In the past and in the future, there will be no less such cooperation.
But this time it is equivalent to a failed cooperation. Not only did it fail to allow Xi Hansong to obtain resources, but it also killed Xi Hansong.
The elder Xi of the Huangji Soul Sect therefore put pressure on the Yanxue Demon Sect and even asked for compensation.
As the person in charge of the battlefield, General Wu was naturally to blame.
In the end, General Wu also received a heavy punishment.
On the contrary, Li Xiuchang and a dozen other foundation-building generals were fine.
General Wu also disliked Li Xiuchang even more because of this. He could not deal with Li Xiuchang directly, but he could deal with Li Xiuchang's sect!
So he suppressed and made things difficult for the Earth Demon Sect through his own connections.
As a disciple of the Flame Blood Demon Sect and a Yuanying cultivator, General Wu's connections and energy were not something that a small sect like the Earth Demon Sect could contend with.
This made the Earth Demon Sect, which was already having a hard time, complain bitterly.
After going around and giving gifts, it was finally through its superior sect, the Wu Yue Sect, that the cause of the matter was found out.
Originally, the Earth Demon Sect was complacent because it had sent Li Xiuchang and Motu to the border battlefield and gained a lot of military merits.
But who would have thought that the two would bring such a disaster to the Earth Demon Sect!
The Earth Demon Sect regretted it and could only actively try to make amends, and wanted to ask someone to plead with General Wu.
However, General Wu was angry and ignored it.
In the following period of time, Li Xiuchang and Motu were frequently sent to the battlefield.
But the two of them could always escape danger again and again, and they just didn't die.
They even accumulated a lot of military merits.
Li Xiuchang would hang around in front of General Wu from time to time, and he liked the way that the other party couldn't stand him but couldn't kill him.
General Wu could only vent his anger on the Earth Demon Sect, and the small Earth Demon Sect was almost falling apart.
In the end, the Earth Demon Sect couldn't hold on any longer, and sent a letter to communicate with Li Xiuchang and Motu, asking them to leave the border battlefield and return to the sect.
But it's easier to invite a god than to send him away, and Li Xiuchang and the others directly refused.
Once you enter the border battlefield, you can't leave just because you want to.
There are generally two ways.
One is to accumulate a certain amount of military merits and leave on your own.
The second is to accumulate rich military merits and perform well, and you can apply to enter a large sect to practice.
The former is easier, while the latter is equivalent to changing the fate of the Dark Heaven Realm Demon Cultivator, so it is very difficult.
Li Xiuchang and his companions have accumulated a lot of military merits, and have long met the first condition. As long as they are willing, they can leave the battlefield at any time.
As for the second condition, with their current military merits, they can only apply to enter some medium-sized sects, not large sects, let alone the Flame and Blood Demon Sect.
They plan to accumulate enough military merits and apply to enter the Flame and Blood Demon Sect in one step.
It is naturally impossible to leave the border battlefield now.
Finally, the Earth Demon Sect specially sent a foundation-building elder to negotiate with Li Xiuchang and his companions in person.
The person who came was the foundation-building elder who took the initiative to accept Li Xiuchang and his companions into the Earth Demon Sect.
Because of this, he was appreciated by the sect master at the beginning, but recently the sect master has been making things difficult for him, forcing him to go there in person and find a way to send Li Xiuchang and his companions away.
"My two Taoist friends, this border battlefield is full of dangers, and you may not be able to survive anytime. Why take risks here? Wouldn't it be better to return to the sect and practice in peace? The sect master promised to leave the two best caves in the sect to you two, and also prepared a lot of resources to reward you two for your contributions to the sect."
The old man who built the foundation was much more polite to Li Xiuchang and the others. After all, they were now at the same level of cultivation.
Li Xiuchang shook his head: "Although my two brothers were born in a humble family, we have always had great ambitions. If we can't enter the Flame Blood Demon Sect, we will not leave the border battlefield."
What a big tone... The old man who was building the foundation sneered in his heart. How can you enter the Flame Blood Demon Sect just by wanting to?
But he still said kindly: "You two have great ambitions, so why not take it slowly? Now there is an opportunity for you to enter the Wu Yue Sect to practice. With your military exploits, you can apply to enter a medium-sized sect to practice. We have already arranged for the Wu Yue Sect. As long as you apply, you will be approved."
Mo Tu said coldly: "Except for the Flame Blood Demon Sect, we will not go anywhere."
"Well, although the Wu Yue Sect is not a top-notch sect, and it is even incomparable to the Flame Blood Demon Sect, it is also a top-notch existence among the medium-sized sects, and there is an opportunity to participate in the Hundred Demons Trial. If you can represent the sect to participate in the trial and get a good ranking, you have the opportunity to directly enter the Flame Blood Demon Sect."
"Hundred Demons Trial? What is that?" Li Xiuchang and the others were interested.
Mainly because they heard that this trial could allow them to directly enter the Flame Blood Demon Sect.
It also saved them from accumulating military exploits here and wasting time.
The foundation-building elder introduced the Hundred Demons Trial to Li Xiuchang and the others. Only the top 100 sects under the rule of the Flame Blood Demon Sect have the opportunity to participate.
Each of the 100 demon sects sent disciples to compete in the trial, and received rewards according to the ranking. The top ten disciples could directly join the Flame Blood Demon Sect.
"When will the next Hundred Demons Trial be held?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"Three years later."
Li Xiuchang lost interest immediately.
Three years, it wouldn't take that long for him to accumulate military merits.
The foundation-building elder didn't realize that Li Xiuchang and the others had lost interest in his proposal, and continued: "Although the Hundred Demons Trial is a bit difficult, you can take it slowly. There are still three years to improve yourself. As one of the top 100 sects, the elite disciples of the Wuyue Sect have the opportunity to enter the Flame Blood Demon Sect to study. During this period, you can apply to study more in the Flame Blood Demon Sect and feel the atmosphere of the Flame Blood Demon Sect in advance."
Li Xiuchang and Motu's eyes lit up.
Can I enter the Flame Blood Demon Sect to study?
That's enough!
As long as they can sneak into the Flame Blood Demon Sect without alerting the old monster of the Flame Blood Demon Sect, their mission will be half successful.
"You just said that only elite disciples can go to the Flame Blood Demon Sect to study. Will we be elite disciples when we enter the Wu Yue Sect?" Li Xiuchang asked.
"Elite disciples are actually the inner disciples of ordinary sects. You two should not look too old, so it should be no problem for you to become elite disciples."
Mo Tu said: "If we can ensure that we get the opportunity to study in the Flame Blood Demon Sect within a year, we will go."
The old man who built the foundation pretended to be embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and agreed: "Don't worry, my two Taoist friends, I will definitely let the sect master take care of it."
Mo Tu was unmoved and said: "If you swear an oath, we will believe you."
The old man who built the foundation froze. He was just acting on purpose just now, just wanting to deceive Li Xiuchang and the others.
When the two left the border battlefield and went to the Wu Yue Sect, he didn't bother to care so much.
But he was discovered by Motu, and he could not make the decision, so he just said: "Let me confirm with the sect master."
A few days later, the old man who built the foundation returned and promised that everything had been arranged, and swore an oath in front of Li Xiuchang and the others.
In order to send away Li Xiuchang and Motu, the pair of plague gods, the Earth Demon Sect suffered a lot this time!
