Business Journey in Immortal Tao

2Early in the morning, Li Yun and Natasha were discussing a trip back to Earth. It had been three years since they left Earth, and Natasha really wanted to go back to visit.     2

    

Although he had received Huo Shouyi, Li Yun felt a little unhappy in his heart. He indifferently asked: "If you have something to say, quickly say it. If it's a matter of the Jingtian City, it's best if you don't bother me."    

    

Huo Shouyi cupped his hands in salute and said with a serious expression, "The white robed old man's soul has left his body and he has already escaped. Originally, he was just a rogue cultivator and was nothing to worry about. However, he had an apprentice, the king of the neighboring Xuefeng, Lin Dong. "    

    

"So what?" Li Yun coldly snorted. As a cultivator that had already reached the Golden Immortal Realm, a mere mortal king couldn't do anything to him.    

    

Huo Shouyi said solemnly, "Last night, Feng Qingzi said that he would wash the Jingtian City with blood. When he returns, he will definitely clean up Lin Xue Feng and send troops to attack the Jingtian City."    

    

Li Yun sternly said, "You should report this to your king. It's not convenient for us to interfere in a war between mortal kingdoms."    

    

Huo Shouyi stood up respectfully: "Junior has already sent people to report to the king, but Xuefeng is not far to the west, so the army will be able to arrive in two hours. As for the defending army of Jingtian City, they are less than 5000, and the city army will need some time to gather, so Jingtian City will not even last a day."    

    

Hearing that, Li Yun could not help but find it funny, "You only have 5000 guards in a Fringe City? "Then who should we blame?"    

    

"Jingtian City is not considered a city, it is just a border trading point. Because of the developed trade, it gradually formed a city, and in terms of geography, there is no advantage for us to defend it." Huo Shouyi said solemnly.    

    

Li Yun suddenly thought of something. If his Jingtian City were to crumble and a calamity were to befall upon him, then all the investments made by the North Market of the city would be for nothing. He felt that Huo Shouyi was here to coerce him to defend the city.    

    

He slammed the table and asked loudly: "Huo Shouyi, how dare you coerce me?"    

    

Huo Shouyi was so scared that he immediately kneeled down and said, "Great deity, I dare not to threaten great deity. This is all the current situation, Huo Shouyi is just here to inform great deity to prepare. If the city cannot be defended, then we can only abandon the city."    

    

Li Yun felt very regretful in his heart. Cultivators really shouldn't take too much blame for helping Huo Shouyi catch a rapist, but now, they were dragged into a war between countries. If the war went to an uncontrollable extent, it would result in countless killings, which went against the will of the heavens and affect the heart of cultivation.    

    

Thinking about this, Li Yun said in a serious tone, "I can help you defend the city and wait for the army to arrive, but ever since you dragged me into this, from the moment I help you catch the rapist, what can I get from this?"    

    

Huo Shouyi said solemnly: "Xuefeng Nation."    

    

"Oh, tell me." Li Yun was rather interested.    

    

The people are strong, and the royal family is powerful. The area is equivalent to the entire Cang Lan Province, and its location is easy to defend and hard to attack, so it has not been controlled by any cultivation forces. If we send troops to attack the Jingtian City, it will not be an opportunity for Young Master Lee. Huo Shouyi said with a smile.    

    

Li Yun was extremely interested in this suggestion and could not help but ask, "Why are there no cultivation forces controlling it?"    

    

Huo Shouyi explained in a serious tone, "It's because this country is surrounded by extremely high mountains that are almost isolated from the rest of the world. Also, because the land is vast and there are few people, for the cultivation families, the population is the biggest resource.    

    

Any force that wants to conquer them will have to pay a considerable price. And once a cultivation sect's strength is damaged, they will give the other sects an opportunity. "    

    

Li Yun carefully thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. He then asked, "Even if Xuefeng is surrounded by mountain ranges, how would the army attack the Jingtian City?"    

    

Huo Shouyi said seriously: "They have a road that leads to the outside world, and it goes straight to the Jingtian City. This road needs to pass through a canyon that spans two thousand miles, and on the road that spans a total of two thousand miles, there are a total of eighteen military fortresses built by the royal family of Xuefeng that block the road, only their country's merchants can enter and leave."    

    

Li Yun's eyes suddenly lit up: "If we block their path first, will they be unable to come out?"    

    

Huo Shouyi said awkwardly, "Currently, the garrison in the city is less than 5000. We can't stop that canyon at all."    

    

Li Yun quickly asked, "How wide is that canyon?"    

    

Huo Shouyi answered, "About two miles."    

    

When Li Yun heard this, he was overjoyed, "Then there's no problem, I'll go and bet on this valley, remember that you owe me a big favor."    

    

Huo Shouyi looked as if he had just received a pardon. With a face full of smiles, he said, "That's only natural. I will definitely remember your great kindness, Young Master Lee. I will definitely repay you in the future."    

    

Li Yun was not happy about being continuously ordered by Huo Shouyi. He put on a straight face and said, "Remember your promise today. I need you to do something in the future. If you delay or delay, I will take your life."    

    

Huo Shouyi knew that what he had done these few days was not proper and had caused a lot of trouble for Li Yun. Li Yun said this to indicate that he was already very unhappy in his heart. In order to dispel Li Yun's disgust, he quickly expressed, "If there is an order from Young Master Lee in the future, Huo Shouyi would not dare to delay it."    

    

"Okay, immediately arrange a guide for me. I will immediately bring some people to block the entrance to the gorge. I will not allow any of their men out of the gorge." You said it seriously.    

    

After Huo Shouyi left, Li Yun immediately gathered everyone for a meeting. Vika also participated in this meeting.    

    

After introducing the situation of Xuefeng Nation, Li Yun said in a serious tone: "This is a good opportunity for us to establish a foothold in the Immortal World. What we need to do now is to first attack the first fort of the eighteen canyon castles, and then firmly grab onto its throat.    

    

Hearing that, everyone's morale was immediately boosted, all of their faces were brimming with joy, as if they had already taken down Xuefeng.    

    

Vika took the initiative to submit, "Yun, leave the task of attacking the first fortress to me. Go back and transfer troops. This way, you can save some time."    

    

Li Yun said seriously, "That won't do, we must take down the first castle at a lightning fast speed. As for all the soldiers and equipment, only I can bring them with me, so I can't save this time. When the time comes, how about we give you the task of defending the first castle?"    

    

"Alright, I promise I will hold the fort until you bring the army over." Vika said solemnly.
