Chapter 477: Chapter 15: The Mighty Power of the Fire Qilin Reemerges, A Sudden Turbulence in Zhenbei City_2

His tiger-like eyes swept over the surrounding Colonels and he said, "Proceed at one-third of our normal speed to give the impression to the generals of Zhenbei City that we are resting and will take five days to pass through. The moment Li Guanyi’s intelligence comes through, do not hesitate, accelerate at full speed, charging forth to directly break through!"

"Catch them completely off guard!"

His rank of thirty-fourth among the world’s great generals was not solely because of his rough and bold martial prowess.

The eight thousand iron cavalrymen all responded solemnly:

"Yes!"

Yue Qianfeng’s palm stroked the head of his steed, the Green-eyed Lion, while Yan Xuanji’s mount was an especially majestic warhorse with large scales on its back, kicking out sparks as it ran, its pupils vertical slits, and its teeth sharp, eating only meat.

Yue Qianfeng looked into the distance:

"The provisions we carry can only sustain us for a few more days."

"Little brother, this time, it’s all up to you."

All the great generals in the world were aware that the Yue Family Army had slowed down after approaching Zhenbei City and speculated that Yue Pengwu’s injuries had worsened or that this isolated force had finally grown weary after such a prolonged charge and had begun to regroup.

Yue Qianfeng then sent his cavalry to various places to buy grain and medicinal materials.

They went hunting in the mountains, and the number of military stoves gradually decreased.

This created various false impressions: [Shortage of Provisions] [Worsening of Yue Pengwu’s Injuries] [Diminishing Morale].

As they awaited the battle with the mighty Zhenbei City.

The world’s situation was gathering anew at Zhenbei City, where no one was aware that beneath the surging waves of events, the person matching wits with the legendary general Yuwen Lie was just a teenager.

During these days, Li Guanyi simply wrote letters to his aunt to inform her of the current situation. Whatever Shaking Light had done, the white bird was able to locate the aunt’s position.

After more than a month of fleeing and cultivating, he was at ease.

The third acupoint, the Orifice, had a breakthrough.

The flow of Inner Qi sped up.

The advantage was that his ability to absorb the benefits of elixir pills and food improved, bringing him closer to the stage where a Martial Artist could survive consuming tree bark. His endurance and combat capabilities increased significantly. At this stage, Martial Artists could even digest substances like Guanyin Soil that could choke a person to death.

The downside was that his appetite had increased once again.

This added insult to injury for his already impoverished family.

Since the Flowing Wind Returning Snow Pavilion had been acquired, there were a lot of areas that required money. The revenues from Changfeng Building dried up all at once; seeing just the expenses of the intelligence organization made Li Guanyi feel like he was about to black out from a heart attack.

Running a large intelligence organization sounded utterly free and mysteriously thrilling.

But in reality, it was a daily money burner.

[Socializing with Nobles] [Gathering Talents] [Cultivating Beauties] [Scouting for Information]

And [Adopting the People Saved by Li Guanyi].

If not for the nobles’ extravagance and the dissolute atmosphere of the Chen capital,

Changfeng Building might have had to pour even more money into the venture,

Simply to maintain the functioning of such a massive entity.

Li Guanyi started to eat steamed buns.

Shaking Light’s hair swayed slightly, and even though there was no expression on her face, she had an indescribably smug air about her.

The Qilin was agitated, starting to leave the city every day to hunt alone.

Then it brought back some game.

Therefore, Li Guanyi had some meat to eat.

Li Guanyi had the Xue Family take down the sign of the Flowing Wind Returning Snow Pavilion and personally inscribed the name Changfeng Building. Relying on the reputation of Jiangnan’s First Building’s Zhenbei City branch, it attracted quite a number of people.

But distant water could not quench the immediate thirst.

Pressured by the Mystic Turtle, Li Guanyi went back to the Ghost Market to complete an assassination mission himself.

This time, Marquis Bu Ye personally attended to the world’s tenth-ranked Assassin. The naturally simple and beautifully smiling Marquis said, "Mr. Jing Ke, your methods are truly formidable. To think that you killed Zhao Huairui so effortlessly in broad daylight, you have not tarnished the reputation of being ranked tenth in the world."

Li Guanyi remained silent, nodding slightly as was expected of an Assassin’s disposition.

Noticing Li Guanyi’s reluctance for further talk, which was common among Assassins, Marquis Bu Ye just smiled and said, "Then please follow me. There are no top treasures in the ’Profound Level Secrets,’ but there are still quite a few trinkets for you to choose from."

The Mystic Turtle Dharma Form floated out, perching on Li Guanyi’s shoulder.

Full of anticipation.

Li Guanyi wondered whether to exchange the items for gold. While in this dilemma, he was led to the Profound Level treasury. Marquis Bu Ye stayed outside, allowing only Li Guanyi to enter personally. The young man nodded and walked inside.

Marquis Bu Ye had said that there weren’t many secrets in the "Profound Level Treasury," but that was a modest understatement.

The place was vast, and Li Guanyi’s gaze swept across many valuable items.

He instantly noticed a Battle Halberd.

The weapon was two meters long, heavier than the Frost Battle Halberd but lacking its frosty characteristics. It was heavier still, with a fearsome blade that looked like a frosty moon.

Li Guanyi walked over, reached out, and caressed the Battle Halberd, glancing at it: "Mystic Iron Spear, a top weapon level Battle Halberd made of mystical iron, incredibly heavy; only those with great strength can wield it, extremely durable, priced at one thousand three hundred taels of gold."

Li Guanyi gripped the weapon, and with a shake, the halberd let out a wail.

This weapon could be used up to the Third Layer Heaven; Li Guanyi couldn’t always use the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd. He really wanted to carry a Battle Halberd with him. In recent times, whenever he had to fight with a sword, he just felt it wasn’t as effective.
