"An outsider? You are not an outsider, you are a slave. Of course, I, the warrior of the Holy Race, will not obey a slave."
The priest demon made sarcastic remarks and taunted him.
The demon spirit dislikes Li Chengdao, not only because he is a descendant of Li Yuanba, but also because Li Chengdao is also from the Central Plains, just like Long Chen.
The demonic spirit of hatred towards Long Chen was transferred to Li Chengdao.
It seems that belittling and hating Li Chengdao is the same as belittling Long Chen.
"What the priest said is exactly that I, a slave, cannot convince the public, and the priest needs to take charge of the overall situation."
Li Chengdao smiled and said smoothly, not caring at all about the devil's ridicule.
When the demon saw Li Chengdao being so servile, he thought that Li Chengdao had really softened his character and was willing to be a slave.
"There is no need to preside over the overall situation. No one dares to disobey the King and His Majesty's will."
"I will send an order to the entire army and let everyone obey your orders."
"Train your troops well. This is the king and His Majesty's will. Don't let it down."
In fact, the devil also wanted to get rid of the matter of soldier training. She was not good at it and she had to do it well.
Wu Sheng and the ghost girl left the matter to Li Chengdao, and the demon spirit was able to get rid of it and serve the ghost girl wholeheartedly, as well as heal Wu Sheng's injuries.
As for whether the army will escape control, she is not worried about that.
Li Chengdao's status was not worthy of seizing control of the army, and the ghost soldiers would not obey Li Chengdao's command.
"I know, please rest assured, priest."
Li Chengdao smiled and agreed.
Li Chengdao's thoughts are different from those of the demon spirit.
What the demon thought was that it was impossible for Li Chengdao to control the ghost soldiers. Li Chengdao did not want to control the ghost soldiers because it was unnecessary.
With the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl around, it is impossible for the Ghost Soldiers to be controlled.
However, what Li Chengdao wanted was just to get acquainted with the ghost soldiers, so that the middle-level generals of the ghost soldiers could become familiar with him.
When the martial saint and the ghost girl are killed, the demon spirit is killed, and the ghost soldiers are leaderless, Li Chengdao can jump out.
At that time, the dragons were leaderless and the ghost soldiers were frightened and at a loss, so they would naturally obey Li Chengdao's command.
Therefore, Li Chengdao is very satisfied with the current arrangement.
The wind rises at the end of Qingping, and the waves form between gentle waves.
For big things, start with small things. Don't rush, but proceed step by step, just like when you won the throne.
The demon spirit turned and left, and Li Chengdao watched her leave with a proud smile on his face.
Things developed in the direction Li Chengdao wanted, and everything went smoothly.
After the demon spirit left, he immediately ordered the ghost soldiers, and Li Chengdao was responsible for training the soldiers. This was an imperial edict.
The ghost soldiers were very resistant at first, but when they heard that this was the order of the Martial Saint Ghost Girl, everyone stopped saying anything.
After the training of the human army became formal, Li Chengdao began to train ghost soldiers.
These ghost soldiers are different from human warriors. They are born with cultivation. The focus of training is no longer on improving their cultivation, but on learning battlefield commands and how to cooperate in military formations.
Li Chengdao selected a group of middle-level generals from the ghost soldiers and appointed them as captains, responsible for conveying Li Chengdao's instructions.
As for the upper-level generals of the ghost soldiers, Li Chengdao would never interfere.
On the one hand, most of these ghost generals are from the fish generation, and they are arrogant and look down on Li Chengdao.
On the other hand, Li Chengdao did not want to arouse the dissatisfaction of the demon spirit, let alone attract the attention of the Martial Saint Ghost Girl.
When the battle comes, these ghost generals of the Yu character generation will most likely be killed.
After they die, the middle-level ghost generals promoted by Li Chengdao will be the backup candidates, and Li Chengdao can naturally control the army.
The training of the ghost soldiers was carried out intensively. Li Chengdao's name gradually became known to the ghost soldiers. Everyone also gradually began to know this former human emperor. They also knew that Li Chengdao was good at using soldiers and had a high level of cultivation.
Li Chengdao's reputation spread subtly, and he slowly took control of the ghost army.
...
When Li Chengdao was training troops in the ice field, Long Chen had just arrived in the snow mountain.
“I didn’t expect to come back here again.”
Cheng Jin followed Long Chen, looking at the place where he had stayed for decades, and couldn't help but sigh.
When setting off, Long Chen left Yuncheng alone.
Considering that the whereabouts of the holy beast were uncertain, Long Chen asked Yuncheng to send a message to Yanmen Pass and asked Cheng Jin to meet at the snow mountain.
The snow-capped mountains were very far away, and Long Chen was delayed for a few days on the way. Cheng Jin speeded up, and the two of them arrived at the snow-capped mountains almost at the same time.
Cheng Jin's cultivation level is not high, but he has stayed in the snow mountains for decades and has some understanding of the holy beasts. Taking him out will be somewhat useful.
"Do you miss the days here very much?"
Long Chen smiled, took out a piece of dried meat from his sleeve and chewed it.
Cheng Jin smiled and said: "If you don't miss me, you will be in jail here and you won't be able to leave the snow-capped mountains."
"I feel so comfortable now. There is everything around Yanmen Pass. After the war is over, I can go back to my hometown to visit."
Speaking of his hometown, Cheng Jin felt a little sad.
After so many years, all the relatives from back then are probably gone. I'm afraid I'll be sad when I see them when I go back.
"I hope the war will end soon."
Long Chen dismounted and walked towards the altar under the snow-capped mountains. Cheng Jin immediately followed.
The altar is in a cave under the snow-capped mountains. The opened door is still open, and the cold air comes from inside. The stench is not as strong as before, but you can still smell it.
Long Chen took out a luminous pearl and walked in front, with Cheng Jin following behind.
Cheng Jin is not worried about being attacked by the holy beast, because Long Chen's cultivation level has improved. If the holy beast appears, Long Chen should be able to easily subdue it.
The cool night pearl light illuminates the cave, and the bones under the feet are frozen, and the smell is much lighter.
The door of the cave was always open, and air flow passed by, taking away the old stench.
When I walked to the altar, the broken floor and the bodies on the ground were still there.
Long Chen placed the Night Pearl on a high place, and Cheng Jin followed Long Chen closely.
The holy beast must not be in the cave, Cheng Jin was still a little nervous.
Long Chen walked up to the altar and looked at the cage that was once used to confine the holy beasts at his feet. The four sturdy iron pillars were connected with thick iron chains, and there were signs of scratching and damage on the surrounding walls.
When the ban was first imposed, the Holy Beast must have tried its best to resist.
"I once heard Gui Fei say that the holy beast has human nature and is very vengeful."
Cheng Jin stood aside, looking at the cage below and said.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Then tell me, does the Holy Beast hate me more, or the Martial Saint?"
The Martial Saint expelled the holy beast from the ice field and sealed the holy beast here for four hundred years. It sounds like the Tathagata Buddha suppressed the monkey under the Five Elements Mountain. This hatred must be very deep.
Long Chen had a fight with the Holy Beast, and the two were not on good terms.
Cheng Jin said: "I think the Holy Beast hates the Martial Saint even more. It has been banned here for too long. It is like being in jail. Like us, it has been guarding a deserted snow mountain for decades."
"No, we have only been guarding the snow-capped mountains for decades. The holy beast has been imprisoned at the altar for four hundred years, so its hatred must be even worse."
Recalling those days, Cheng Jin felt like a prisoner, guarding a mountain covered with snow all year round and not allowed to leave even half a step.
At that time, no one dared to resist due to fear of ghost fetuses.
If Long Chen hadn't appeared, Cheng Jin might have died of old age here.
The half-ghost only has a long lifespan, not immortality. If time passes too long, he will die.
"There is no trace of coming back. The holy beast may have left."
Long Chen wanted to try his luck in case the holy beast returned to the altar or left any traces or clues, but there was no such thing.
"Where should we find it in the vast snowfield?"
Cheng Jin was very confused. The area around the snow-capped mountains was huge, and the holy beast was so fast. Who knew where it had gone.
