Chapter 1743 - 1726: Eighth Series Spirit Army’s Rebellion
"We just returned not long ago, yet he wants us to go out on another mission. Is he crazy for war merit?"
"Now, most Spirit Kings are resting and waiting for the Star Domain battle to start, yet he insists on us executing missions!"
"No way, if this continues, the brothers of our Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army will all be dead."
...
The eyes of the three Army Commanders in the restaurant were about to spit fire, they all rushed out of the restaurant, flying toward the Spirit King Palace on the Ancient Star.
The Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army bore the responsibility of delving deep into the Starry Sky Secret Realm to bring back the Cosmic Spiritual Treasures. Even though they had cultivated the Ten Thousand Army Strategy, the casualty rate wasn’t small. Being so utilized like this, they naturally couldn’t stand it.
All at once, the Ancient Star trembled.
The spirit army soldiers on the Ancient Star who were healing their injuries and resting were boiling with agitation, following the three like Lei Yunhu to converge toward the Spirit King Palace.
"Do you dare to defy the orders of this Spirit King?"
The Spirit King Palace trembled, a cold voice exploded, and a young man with black hair flew out from inside, scanning coldly over the three Army Commanders in front of the palace.
The terrifying spiritual power wave emitted made the three Army Commanders, who were at the Earth Spirit Early Stage, tremble physically.
Xu Li!
The Spirit King currently in charge of the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army.
Not only was he appointed by Ethan, possessing the Earth Spirit Mid Stage, but rumors also said he was the brother of the Second Series Blue Demon Spirit King, with a strong background.
"Spirit King Xu Li, our brothers in the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army can’t keep going out for missions so frequently..."
Lei Yunhu took a deep breath and spoke.
However, as soon as he finished speaking—
Whoosh!
The black-haired young man Xu Li waved his hand, and the spiritual power of the Spirit Seed that had already taken root within his body exploded forth with a surging force, enveloping Lei Yunhu who was unprepared with a powerful aura. Lei Yunhu let out a scream as blood light burst from within, and he was directly blasted away.
"Just an Army Commander, and you dare question this Spirit King’s decision? If you don’t want to sit in the position of Army Commander, this Spirit King can fulfill your wish!"
A trace of a smug smile appeared on Xu Li’s face.
The life and death of the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army...
What does it have to do with him?
What he wanted was war merit!
Only a large amount of war merit could allow him to exchange for a significant amount of Cosmic Spiritual Treasures in the Blue Demon Treasure Vault to improve his strength and Realm.
Precisely because the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army was formidable after cultivating the Ten Thousand Army Strategy, the war merit of him, a newly appointed Spirit King, was increasing at an astonishing rate, already rushing to the top twenty of the War Merit List.
"Damn it, I’d rather die in battle today than let you, Xu Li, you despicable villain, sit as the Eighth Series Spirit King."
Caught by Ye Qing in mid-air, Lei Yunhu, coughing blood, showed a ferocious expression and roared angrily.
"Fellow brothers, do you remember how Spirit King Xiao Ye treated us?"
"And now look at how this guy is treating us, can you still bear it? Rather than being killed by this guy, we might as well join forces to kill him!"
Bu Qianqiu took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Bu Qianqiu’s words struck like thunder, making the eyes of the spirit army soldiers present burn fiercely.
"That’s right, our Spirit King is Lord Xiao Ye, not you, get off our Ancient Star!"
"Xu Li, what do you amount to? If it weren’t for Ethan’s backing, how could you have taken the seat of the Eighth Series Spirit King?"
"Why should we risk our lives for missions while you sit here waiting for war merit? I refuse to accept this!"
...
Nobody knew who shouted it first, but it was like a chain reaction as deafening voices roared to the sky, and one by one, spirit army soldiers walked out angrily, standing beside Lei Yunhu and glaring with anger at Xu Li. Their war intent soared, and the presence of the Spiritual Art of the Ten Thousand Army Strategy rose vigorously.
The name Xiao Ye seemed to carry a magnetic charm, suddenly releasing all their pent-up dissatisfaction and anger.
"Damn it!" Xu Li’s face went rigid.
Though he was in the Earth Spirit Mid Stage, he had only condensed a Lower Grade Spirit Seed. If the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army attacked together, he would be overwhelmed and would become the first Spirit King in the history of the Blue Demon Star Domain to be killed by his own spirit army soldiers.
What sort of charm did Xiao Ye have?
Even two years after falling, this group of spirit army soldiers would still rally around him?
"Since you choose to rebel, I’ll call upon my brother’s Second Series Spirit Army to suppress you, and even Lord Blue Demon would have nothing to say if the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army gets wiped out."
Xu Li swiped his hand over the Space Ring, whereupon a Spirit King Spiritual Tablet appeared in his hand, shining brilliantly in golden light.
"What? Stop him quickly!"
"Don’t let him send a help signal!"
...
At this moment, the expressions of Lei Yunhu and the others changed dramatically, as they shouted and charged toward Xu Li.
A spirit army’s rebellion was a grave crime indeed.
As a Spirit King, he had the right to call upon other Spirit Kings to suppress the rebellion. Even if they wiped out this great army, it would be justified.
"No matter, let him call for help. Today, I just so happen to want to see how strong the ace spirit army really is."
At this moment, a cold and indifferent voice came, and then Lei Yunhu and the others just felt their vision blur as a young man wearing a black robe descended from the sky, standing between them and Xu Li.
In an instant, the Ancient Star fell into a dead silence, as horrified gazes looked over.
"Could it be that you... you’re Spirit King Xiao Ye?"
Lei Yunhu stood dazed for a moment, then couldn’t help but cry out, looking at the familiar figure.
Bu Qianqiu and Ye Qing also widened their eyes, as if seeing a ghost.
"Such a familiar figure, it really seems to be Spirit King Xiao Ye!"
"Oh my gosh, could it really be Spirit King Xiao Ye?"
"Didn’t Spirit King Xiao Ye fall?"
"Hahaha, Heaven bless us, our Spirit King Xiao Ye has returned!"
...
In front of the Spirit King Palace, the Eighth Series spirit army soldiers closely observed that figure, then became emotional, with many people in tears, spontaneously saluting that silhouette with excitement.
"What on earth happened?"
Xiao Ye’s vast Spiritual Sense swept out, enveloping the entire Ancient Star, taking all the spirit army soldiers on the Ancient Star into his eyes, causing his eyes to flicker with cold light.
At this moment, on this Ancient Star, there were only about six hundred thousand of the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army left, and almost everyone was injured, more severely than the first time he had seen them.
The Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army, which had cultivated the Spiritual Art of Ten Thousand Army Strategy, had fallen to such a state...
"Spirit King Xiao Ye, there’s something you should know..." Ye Qing transmitted with a bitter smile.
"A waste like you, daring to replace me to command the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army?" The next moment, Xiao Ye’s profound gaze fell on Xu Li, scaring him pale.
Both were new Spirit Kings, but Xiao Ye was a fierce man who could suppress and kill Demon Weapons even in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Xiao Ye... commanding the Eighth Series Blue Demon Spirit Army wasn’t my wish, it was designated by Ethan Law Enforcement Officer..."Xu Li quietly surveyed his surroundings, and said with a forced smile.
"Kneel!"
"Apologize to the anguished souls of my fallen warriors..."
However, before he finished speaking, Xiao Ye stepped forward, shouting coldly.
