I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 396. Collecting the body

"The news of departure came somewhat suddenly, delivered early in the morning by Hou Shaoyi." frёeωebɳovel.com

"This Taoist, with a monkey perched on his shoulder, stood outside the courtyard shouting the message without entering, being very respectful."

"Being the direct disciple of Li Yuanzhong, Hou Shaoyi clearly knew that Lu Li had made a breakthrough."

"Seeing Lu Li and Xia Weiyun come out to greet him, he hurriedly bowed and said,"

"Lu Zhen... my lord, we need to set off now."

"The monkey ’Da Fa’ also bowed repeatedly toward Lu Li, both master and servant were more respectful than before."

"Lu Li, as usual, was easygoing and said, ’Alright, I know. But isn’t this quite rushed?’"

"Hou Shaoyi remained respectfully deferential, ’Reporting to True Monarch, it is Hua Mountain Sect that has suddenly convened this.’"

"’Hua Mountain Sect?’"

"Lu Li especially remembered that smoking Hua Mountain Immortal ’Qiu Yan,’ who called Xia Weiyun as senior sister and Li Yuanzhong as granduncle; clearly, the two sides shared profound origins."

"Just then, Xia Weiyun also explained telepathically,"

"’Our Dragon Sect and Uncle Master Zhen Yangzi from Taiji Palace lineage were both founded by early disciples of Hua Mountain, sharing a sentimental bond. This trip is about mutual cooperation to meet each other’s needs.’"

"’I see... Does Hua Mountain Sect want the Changbai Spirit Realm?’"

"’It is Qiu Yan’s master who wants it. This person has long harbored designs on it. Plus, Taishan Sect would likely compete for it as well.’"

"After a brief conversation, Wanqing, Xiao Cha, and the Cat Ears Sisters, ready and packed, came out together."

"Both sisters wore black berets adding a playful touch while also covering their conspicuous cat ears."

"Lu Li then called over Puppet Number Zero and Ah Da, saying, ’Then let’s get going.’"

"He was actually quite looking forward to sparring with the top experts of the world on this trip."

"The group reached the mountain gate only to see Li Yuanzhong and twenty young men and women already waiting there."

"These were the younger generation intended for gaining experience, still quite young, practically adolescents."

"Tong Shao and the siblings, Chen Yian and Chen Yiping, were also present."

"All three were visibly excited, even wearing brand new shiny martial suits, treating this as a sort of vacation."

"Seeing Lu Li approach, the group of adolescents hurriedly paid their respects, very formal and respectful."

"Xia Weiyun mentioned with a smile, ’Our task is essentially to let these youngsters watch the show.’"

"This trip will offer them a rare chance to witness a Golden Body Level battle."

"Li Yuanzhong also remarked, ’I wanted these youngsters to gain some experience, pardon the amusement.’"

"’No worries, let’s set off now.’"

"Though Lu Li found it strange why a group of youngsters was brought, he did not comment on someone else’s Sect’s method of teaching."

"At that moment, with a thought, he concentrated his Spirit into the form of a ’paper airplane.’"

"Amidst the enthusiastic exclamations of the youngsters, he carried everyone up into the air and flew northward."

"’Young friend will pass by Bohai to reach Liaodong and Jinzhou first, then meet up with Hua Mountain Sect there,’"

"Li Yuanzhong, stroking his beard, laid out the travel plans:"

"’The Golden Race displayed a tactic of openly repairing the walkway while secretly advancing through Chen Cang, announcing a step-down on December 25th, yet they fled back to the Spirit Realm just last night. Currently, all factions are in pursuit, so it’s better to let them fight over the benefits. We just try to inflict maximum harm on the Chuyun side.’"

"Even if there were no gains, Lu Li was willing to participate for free."

"Even thinking of killing the high-level Chuyun officials, he felt somewhat excited:"

"’For me, being able to kill the Chuyun people is enough.’"

"’Young friend is indeed outspoken and straightforward,’"

"Li Yuanzhong said with a smile as he stroked his beard:"

"’However, we are not without our own ambitions. If the opportunity arises, we definitely cannot miss the Thunder Tribulation Realm’s cultivation method.’"

"Heavenly Tribulation!"

Lu Li’s expression became solemn. As the name implied, this realm was about being struck by lightning.

But even ordinary lightning contains one billion joules of energy and can reach temperatures of 20,000 degrees instantaneously, striking all at once.

How to endure it must surely involve numerous tricks and important considerations. These were the life-risking trials by which each True Monarch discovered them, and one could imagine how precious such knowledge was.

Li Yuanzhong said, "My Dragon Sect’s background is somewhat shallow; we do not have such accumulations. Fortunately, with Golden Court’s unification of the land, the relevant classics should have been collected."

Lu Li was naturally very eager. He was not lacking in resources. External goods were optional, but such knowledge was exactly what was lacking.

And the future was unpredictable, so all he could do was prepare.

While on the road, the two exchanged ideas about the Manifesting Saint Realm.

Lu Li shared his insights about the Spirit Space in the Sea of Consciousness and dark matter, and the old Taoist listened intently, feeling as if he had gained sudden enlightenment.

Seeing this scene, Xia Weiyun thought to herself from the side:

[In just a few days, little brother Lu is already able to instruct his own teacher.]

[With such a wealth of insights provided, I cannot afford to fall too far behind, or else how could I face being his Daoist partner?]

Xia Weiyun reminded herself not to slack off, and before anyone realized, two hours had passed, and their group had arrived over Jinzhou.

This city, with a history of over two thousand years and located at a coastal transportation hub, should have been bustling and thriving.

But at the moment it was desolate and in ruins, with not a single person on the streets in broad daylight. It was hardly distinguishable from a ghost town.

Lu Li knew why, because this place was the "front line"; the occupied zone of Chuyun lay just beyond.

Li Yuanzhong spoke up, "Young friend, continue towards White Cloud Mountain and descend there."

Ahead, a mountain covered in snow could be seen where a large group of Taoists awaited at the peak, led by Zhen Yangzi himself.

Lu Li flew over and landed smoothly on the ground, where a group of youngsters from the south began grabbing snow with their hands, some even tasting it.

The "Taoists" around Zhen Yangzi bowed their respects, their young voices respectfully addressing him as "True Master," completely unaware that in front of them stood a True Monarch.

Lu Li noticed... each one of them was young, their faces youthful. It seemed they were all young men and women!

And dressed in different styles of Daoist robes, no doubt coming from various Taoist Sects.

This was peculiar, why gather so many children here?

Before long, Li Yuanzhong arranged for Hou Shaoyi: "The opportunity is rare, take them with you."

With a bow, Hou Shaoyi and several older Taoists led the young disciples from various sects towards the Chuyun occupied area!?

Most of these young ones were only at the Refining Internal Organs level, with majority at Bone Forging—it was like lambs entering a wolf’s den.

Li Yuanzhong spoke to Lu Li,

"Jade must be carved to become a tool; this time let them see what the real world is like. Young friend, no need to worry, they won’t go too deep."

Hearing this, Lu Li was curious about what it would be like, so with a wave of his hand, he sent Ah Da to follow the children.

This was considered a backup insurance, and Li Yuanzhong had no objections. He shared what he had learned from Lu Li’s teachings with Zhen Yangzi, and waited there with the others.

Meanwhile, Lu Li observed through his puppet’s senses.

He saw Hou Shaoyi and the others, leading the young ones leaping through the mountains, quickly arriving at a village.

The village lay quietly nestled in a mountain hollow, with its serene tranquil atmosphere, and the houses of blue tiles amidst faintly rising smoke, seemed like a paradise at first glance.

But upon closer look, the opposite was true!

The smoke was from the burning remains of houses, the village had been destroyed by a great fire, with corpses strewn everywhere.

At the entrance of the village, a naked female body was fixed to the ground in a spread-eagled position, her lower body sliced open with bayonets, her womb frozen solid on the ground.

The youngsters, having never seen such a sight, even those bolder ones found it too disgusting to proceed further.

Yet Hou Shaoyi coldly shouted:

"Disciples, heed my command—bury the bodies immediately, and release the trapped souls!"
