I Heard I've Been Dead For Thousand Years

Long Huying, who had been moving slowly along without stopping because of any obstruction, stopped for the first time when he arrived at the gate of the palace of Tianqi City.

For the first time, a frown also appeared on his face, which had no sadness or joy.

Long Huying, Lin Meng, Zhou Yuan, Qi Shuang, and the hundreds of thousands of troops that followed the first batch into the city, no one dared to take a step forward.

The only thing that stopped them was an isolated and helpless old man, standing in front of Long Huying's army like a praying mantis, but it made Long Huying stop in his tracks.

Da Yuan Imperial Master, Huang Shou Zun Li Changyi! The second most forbidden formation master in the world, a master of the Xuanwu realm, one person can stop a million troops! Even the invincible Sword Immortal Li Bu Ming and the chaotic Heavenly Venerable Pei Ji, who are invincible in the world, have to give him a little bit of face!

"Which one of you is ready to come forward and fight?"

Long Huying looked back and asked, and none of the people beside him answered.

Lin Meng was no good, Zhou Yuan was no good, and Eagle Eye Wang, the world's number one archer, was no good.

Even Yin Rufeng, the only two Xuanwu realm experts in the army, who held the second-ranked sword Da Ming Vermillion Bird and the third-ranked sword Tie Ma Binghe, shook his head after a slight hesitation and frown.

He thought that he was no match for Huang Shouzun Li Changyi even if they combined forces.

The Huang Shou Zun Li Changyi is far more powerful than the Da Luo Sword Immortal and the Red Dust Immortal and Lin Jin among the Three Great Heavenly Masters, and can be compared to the Phantomless Maniac, the Peerless Zun Wang Lin, and the Illuminati Sword Immortal Ye Feng.

Only the Asking Sword Immortal Li Bu Ming and the Chaotic Heavenly Dignitary Pei Ji are qualified to say that they are head and shoulders above him.

There was no such strong man in Long Huying's army.

Long Huying frowned and said to himself, "How can you let one person stop your army from moving forward?

"I'll do it."

At this time, a young man in red came out from behind Long Huying, with a clear complexion and a confident, indifferent smile on his face.

The third-ranked formation restraint master in the world, Idiot Xie Shaoqing! He is also the brother of Li Changyi, the head of Huang!

"He's waiting for me, you guys can just go around from the side."

Lin Meng took a suspicious look at Xie Shaoqing, his face and eyes no longer had the same silly smile and look as before, there was only a puzzling agility and confidence.

Long He-Ying also found this point, also baffled, frowned at Xie Shaoqing's back as he walked toward Li Changyi, frowned a little worriedly, and after a moment, chose to trust him.

"I'll leave it to you then."

With a nod of his head, Long Huying waved his hand and ordered his army to bypass Li Changyi and continue to head deeper into the inner courtyard of the palace.

As Xie Shaoqing said, when Long Huying led his army around Li Changyi, Li Changyi didn't make any move towards them, just stared at Xie Shaoqing in front of him without moving a muscle.

One of their faces was heavy, and the other was confident.

This was a contest between fellow brothers!

The two of them stared at each other, both as if they were two wooden stakes, one rickety and one upright.

It was only after Long Huying's army had passed through here, leaving only Li Changyi and Xie Shaoqing in the large palace compound, that Xie Shaoqing, who had been staring at each other for a while, laughed softly and said.

"Senior brother, long time no see."

Li Changyi dropped his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"So you've been pretending to be crazy."

Shaoqing Xie, with his hands behind his back, smiled and shook his head.

"When I was silly before, it was really silly, not an act."

"Then why did you, who was the most gifted and cleverest, suddenly become foolish, and now you are suddenly not foolish?"

Shaoqing Xie did not reply, but merely tilted his head with a smile, looked at Li Changyi for a moment, and then asked a rhetorical question.

"If my senior brother has already guessed, why is he stubbornly stubborn?"

Li Changyi was stunned, then laughed bitterly and said.

"Before you sealed your mind within the sea of consciousness with a self-sealing technique, releasing only a very small amount of spiritual sense to manipulate your body, but you sealed 99% of your mind within your body to study the restrictions of the formation, right? It was like locking oneself in a dark room and not going out until one reached one's goal.

Xie Shaoqing nodded silently, Li Changyi shook his head and laughed bitterly at the situation, mocking himself.

"It's funny that I've always thought of myself as diligent and hardworking, but I'm still a step behind you in terms of perseverance, but I didn't expect you to have the perseverance and patience to self-appoint yourself for decades!"

"If my elder brother knows it all now, why doesn't he leave?"

Xie Shaoqing asked another rhetorical question, and Li Changyi shook his head and stared at Xie Shaoqing, his eyes firm and determined.

"Because I am unwilling, even if I know the truth is equally unwilling!"

"When Uncle Qin accepted a disciple on behalf of his master, I would not have been chosen with my qualifications. Do you have any idea how much effort and hard work I had to put in to make up for my poor performance with diligence, so that Uncle Qin could take me on as an exception?"

"After that, even if Uncle Qin took you in again, I still admitted that we were the least qualified of the three brothers."

"But back then, even after you were inexplicably demented, I was still inferior to you in the hearts of Uncle Qin and the far-flung Master!"

"No matter how hard I try, I'm still not as good as a dumb genius! I'm not happy! I have waited decades for this day, and even now that I know the truth about you, I am equally unhappy!"

Xie Shaoqing nodded silently, understanding in his heart the grievances and frustrations of the late Huang Shouzun over the past decades.

The reason for this old man's stubbornness is that the four words "diligent can make up for clumsiness" in the sage's book are meant to surpass him, Xie Shaoqing, and get the approval of the Heaven Forbidding Sage and Qin Fu.

"So ...... even if it means hitting a stone with a pebble, senior brother is willing to do whatever it takes, right?"

Shaoqing Xie looked up at Li Changyi with such a peaceful gaze that he respected Li's choice.

"How can we know if it's true or not if we haven't tried it?"

Li Changyi grinned, and immediately took action, throwing a round silver-white steel ring larger than his fist from his sleeve.

The Heavenly Circle Cut!

Shaoqing Xie didn't even dodge, he just watched as the cuticle flew above his head, then suddenly grew up and trapped him head-on, imprisoning him at the waist so that he couldn't move.

The silvery white cuticle appeared with a dense golden pattern, instantly restraining Xie Shaoqing in place.

Then Li Changyi threw out a palm-sized, yellow seal from his sleeve, and suppressed Xie Shaoqing with his head.

Local Seal!

Li Changyi's three most famous magic weapons, and he used two of them in an instant!

The local seal also soared in the air, growing to a size of three feet, and the patterns on it flashed unceasingly, and the surrounding Xuanhuang Qi boiled out and added to the local seal, increasing its power.

Even an Xuan Comprehension realm body cultivation expert like Wu Xiang Maniac would be severely injured if he were to use his flesh to fight this seal, not to mention Xie Shaoqing, who was so weak and thin that he had nowhere to escape from being imprisoned by Tian Yuan Chuang!

If one of these marks had hit hard, it would have turned Xie Shaoqing into a puddle of blood with no bones left!

Li Changyi made his death blow, not holding back or daring to hold back in the slightest, and there was no mercy or hesitation in his eyes, only full concentration.

He knew very well how powerful the means and formation attainments of his younger brother, who had lost his whole life, were.

He didn't believe that Xie Shaoqing would just die peacefully without doing anything, he believed that the other party must have a means to deal with it.

Therefore, he had to watch with his eyes wide open with full concentration to see what methods this genius junior brother could decipher, and how far he was from him!
