A rare opportunity

Chapter 458 High Hat

"Hmph! You..."

Zheng Jian was quite unreasonable and was about to say a few more words when he was interrupted by Huang Qi.

"Alliance Leader Li! Since it was an unintentional act, we will naturally not blame you!"

In his opinion, Li Yu was young after all! Young people were thin-skinned, and Zheng Jian was always harsh and unforgiving. He was afraid that Zheng Jian would say something outrageous to anger Li Yu, and then the next thing would be difficult to deal with! You know, his purpose of returning to Lingshan was to obtain the method of refining the Barrier Breaking Pill!

"Although it was an unintentional mistake, it is also my fault! I hope you can forgive me!"

"Alliance Master Li! This matter stops here! The reason why I came back is not to join the Anti-Kou League! It's just that I never owe anyone a favor. Since I took your Barrier Breaking Pill, I should repay this favor! Brother Mu, the Saint of Weapons, has already told me your intentions! Well, I will agree to help you set up a mountain protection formation! But I have a request. After the formation is set up, I hope that Alliance Master Li can let me go!"

Cheng Zhen still spoke expressionlessly.

Li Yu immediately bowed to Cheng Zhen and said loudly:

"Thank you, Senior Cheng! It is a blessing for Li Yu and the people of the world that you have agreed to set up a mountain protection formation for Lingshan! Li Yu is grateful! Li Yu swears here: whether you have set up the mountain protection formation or not, you can leave at any time, and the Anti-Knife Alliance will never stop you!"

Cheng Zhen stared at Li Yu's eyes, and Li Yu looked back at him without hesitation. Cheng Zhen's eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion, while Li Yu's eyes were full of openness and sincerity!

"Okay! I believe you!"

Seeing that Li Yu did not dodge, Cheng Zhen immediately said in a deep voice. This Cheng Zhen has a strange temper. He is usually taciturn and serious. He always has a stern face and sharp eyes, which makes him look very aggressive! Under his contemptuous eyes, it is difficult to bear if you have something to hide. Cheng Zhen was very satisfied with Li Yu's performance!

Li Yu was very excited when he heard this! He immediately bowed and said:

"Thank you, Senior Cheng, for your trust! I am flattered! With your help, I will be able to defeat the invaders with even greater strength!"

Cheng Zhen rolled his eyes at him and said impatiently:

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what you want from the formation so I can start setting up the formation!"

Li Yu was stunned! He thought: This old man is very direct and impatient! He immediately laughed:

"You are right, Senior! But according to my opinion, I would like to set up the formation after you have achieved Nascent Soul stage. What do you think, Senior Cheng?"

In Li Yu's opinion, any technique needs to be supported by cultivation! In other words, the higher the cultivation, the higher the level of formation Cheng Zhen can set up. He hopes that the formation he sets up in Lingshan is a copper wall and iron wall instead of a paper-pasted window! Therefore, he hopes that Cheng Zhen can set up the formation after breaking through the Nascent Soul. At the same time, he also hopes to give Cheng Zhen enough time to think, instead of rushing into battle!

However, when the four saints heard what Li Yu said, even Mu Chengqi was a little surprised! They all looked at Li Yu in confusion. They thought: Is this guy really stupid or does he have someone to rely on? Isn't he afraid that they will walk away after the breakthrough? This is like doing business, just verbally agreeing and paying the full amount. Are you really not afraid that the other party will run away with the money?

"Alliance leader! That's impossible! We should let them set up the formation first! What if they just leave and then we will be..."

Yu Wanli hurriedly reminded him in a low voice. Although his voice was low, it was loud enough for the Four Saints to hear. This was also intentional! He knew that even if his voice was low, it would not escape the Four Saints' ears, so he simply let them hear it clearly! But considering the Four Saints' face, he couldn't make it too loud for others to hear.

"Hey! Your Majesty, you worry too much! I believe that the four seniors are not people who go back on their words! Even if they leave for some reason, my Blue Jade Star will have a few more Nascent Soul masters, right? When the enemies of the Golden Broom Star invade in the future, and watch the people of Blue Jade Star suffer, I think with their character, the four of them will never stand idly by!"

Li Yu said so and thought so. But the so-called speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously! In the ears of the four saints, although Li Yu's words sounded nice, they completely blocked their retreat! The high hat has been put on them, and it is not so easy to take it off! Unless they admit that they are all low-character, treacherous villains!

The four of them couldn't help but feel awkward, looking at each other in bewilderment! Now that the compliment has been delivered, they have to accept it whether they want to or not! Refute? Reject? They were just discussing in a low voice, and it wasn't said to them. How to refuse? How to refute? As long as you open your mouth, you will be eavesdropping on other people's conversations! They can only pretend not to know! In their hearts, they couldn't help but look at Li Yu with a higher regard! They all thought in their hearts: This kid is cunning enough! He is not as simple as he looks on the surface!

Others can keep silent, but Cheng Zhen can't! Because Li Yu is asking for his opinion! Since others have made suggestions that are beneficial to him, if he still objects, it would seem that he has ulterior motives! In the eyes of others, he is just ungrateful!

Although Cheng Zhen has a strange temper, he is not a person who does not understand the ways of the world! He immediately pondered and said:

"This... I'm just afraid of time..."

"Don't worry, senior! As the saying goes, sharpening the knife makes the work of chopping wood easier! According to our calculations, it will take at least four to five years for the enemy to arrive!"

In Li Yu's opinion, it would be more practical to have a few more Nascent Soul masters instead of wasting time to set up a formation that can't even stop the Nascent Soul! Therefore, he insisted that Cheng Zhen try to break through the Nascent Soul first! In the same way, the reason why he needed Huang Qi and Mu Chengqi was that he hoped they could give practical help to the Yukou League! With their current strength, Huang Qi definitely couldn't refine a pill like the Breaking Barrier Pill. And Mu Chengqi couldn't refine a Saint-level weapon! To be honest, with their current strength, it didn't matter whether they stayed or not.

Of course, the Four Saints didn't think so! They were all self-righteous and arrogant! They always thought that Li Yu and his so-called Anti-Knife Alliance needed something from them!

"Okay! Then let's do as you say!"

Without waiting for Cheng Zhen's reply, Zheng Jian couldn't wait to speak. For him, the most urgent task is to break through the Nascent Soul Realm! As for the future, that is a matter for the future! Now, let's get some benefits first!

Li Yusui glanced at the other three people. The three of them looked at the impatient Zheng Jian and finally nodded slowly!

"Great! Four seniors, please!"

Li Yu immediately extended his hand to let them go, and then he and Muchun led the four saints into the underground space.

When the four saints arrived at the underground space, they were all shocked! They didn't expect there was such a good place underground! They didn't expect there would be so many people here! They didn't expect there would be so many Nascent Souls on Lanyu Star!

Seeing that several people were breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, they couldn't help but get excited and itchy! Especially when they saw that many of their juniors had surpassed them, they couldn't wait to break through!

However, Li Yu was a little worried about these old antiques! First, they had delayed for too long, and the barrier was naturally hard and thick. Second, they were all old, and it was inevitable that they were insufficient in energy and blood. He immediately called Xu Qiankun, Yao Shouxin, Jiang Wuya, and Zhou Fulin to discuss countermeasures. For other people, Li Yu might not be so nervous. But for them, Li Yu had to be cautious!

Firstly, if they can successfully break through the Nascent Soul, it will be of great help to the Yukou League! Secondly, the four are known as the Four Saints. They have an immeasurable influence on Lanyu Star! If they can break through the Nascent Soul here, it will definitely attract more hermits on Lanyu Star to come out of their seclusion and come to Lingshan! Therefore, for the breakthrough of these four, he hopes that they can all succeed! The failure of any one of them is a huge loss to Lanyu Star!

Although most of the monks who entered the underground space were the best among the monks of Lanyu Star, most of them had only heard of the Four Saints but had never seen them! When they learned that the Four Saints had arrived, there was inevitably some commotion! Those who knew the Four Saints were busy coming forward to greet them, while those who didn't know them couldn't help but whisper to each other, pointing and admiring them!

The Four Saints were not surprised and just nodded slightly to those people.
