The entire army marched for seven days.
I haven't encountered the Netherworld along the way for these seven days. Logically speaking, this kind of situation is not very common.
Because now the entire Beiyi Prefecture is almost occupied, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole place is filled with ghosts.
In particular, such a huge force with more than 10,000 people is extremely eye-catching.
But along the way, they didn't encounter any ghosts, not even a small group of troops.
Some of the monks who were fighting for the first time could not help but feel slightly relaxed. It seemed that this battle was not as difficult as they imagined.
But Luo Yi's expression gradually became serious.
We didn't meet any troops on the road, which meant that the Netherworld here had been gathered together.
It seems that Netherworld has defeated them.
Luo Yi lowered his head and glanced at the map. According to the current marching speed, he would reach the first ambush site in the Netherworld tonight.
It was already noon, and in at most three hours, the war would be about to break out.
Luo Yi raised his head and looked into the distance. He issued a military order and gathered some infantry.
Duguchuan and others did not see anything special about the temporary infantry formed by Luo Yi.
But Makura could see it.
Because these people all have a silver bracelet on their wrist.
Makura's expression was a little complicated, and he asked in a low voice: "Do you really want to do this?"
Luo Yi did not answer Makura's question and looked at the infantry as usual.
Makura sighed: "You really like to be a villain."
Luo Yi didn't say anything. He casually unleashed the Killing World to prevent "outsiders" from listening to the rest of the conversation.
Of course, if Duguchuan wanted to hear it, he could just smash this killing world into pieces.
But he won't do that.
There were roughly three hundred people gathered by Luo Yi, most of whom were Condensing Souls and a few who were returning to the void.
In fact, among the cavalry composed of Fusion Realm monks, there were also some monks who participated in the competition, but Luo Yi did not disrupt the formation of the cavalry.
Luo Yi looked at these people, "Everyone, do you know why I brought you together?"
Someone laughed and said, "Of course I know, we are all here to participate in the competition. To put it bluntly, we are our own people! Is there anything good going on?"
"Yes, Brother Luo, is there anything you can do to take advantage of me?"
Someone interrupted: "What else can we do? Isn't it just for the opportunity and to be listed on the Zhu You List? I think Brother Luo wants us to follow the army to pick up the slack!"
"Hahaha, that makes sense! We don't need to contribute, and there's no danger. Anyway, the coach is our brother Luo now, so why don't we worry about the benefits?"
Everyone laughed.
But Luo Yi looked at them expressionlessly.
Makura sighed heavily in his heart.
Luo Yi planned to destroy the connections and prestige he had managed to accumulate in the dead forest swamp with his own hands today.
Although there are many people here, they did not participate in the battle in the Dead Forest Swamp, but they have heard about it more or less, and only Luo Yi follows suit.
"Brother Luo, if you have any good deeds, don't hide them. Tell your brothers directly." A monk said with a smile.
Luo Yi glanced at him, and then said loudly: "Okay, then I will tell you directly."
These people are all looking forward to it.
Luo Yi slowly said: "In tonight's battle, I want you to be the vanguard."
When he spoke, it was just eleven words, but everyone was stunned, and there was a long silence.
After a while, someone asked: "Why?"
Luo Yi's throat rolled, and he said slowly: "There is no reason. I am the coach in this battle."
"There is no reason why we should dispatch our troops and generals."
Someone was still calling Brother Luo just now, but now his expression suddenly changed. He was full of anger: "Dispatch troops and dispatch generals? Are you dispatching troops and dispatching generals? You clearly did this on purpose!"
Someone whispered in agreement: "Yes, everyone is here to participate in the competition, why bother us so much."
"It's just that our realm is not as high as yours. It's not easy to kill several demon soldiers and demon disciples. We finally participated in a big competition. You want us to be cannon fodder? Why?"
Makura turned away and rubbed his eyebrows.
He knew it would be like this.
Luo Yi was silent for a moment and then said, "I know it's not easy for you, but everyone has a second chance."
Everyone frowned, a little confused.
Second chance, what do you mean?
Several Void Return Realm monks suddenly fell silent. These people had participated in the battle in the Dead Forest Swamp.
They are all from the sect of the Southern Region of Dongxuanzhou.
One of the Void Returning Realm monks suddenly glanced at Luo Yi. He laughed at himself and slowly explained: "Brother Luo means that we are all here to participate in the competition. If there is a danger of life or death, just crush it." The bracelet can help the soul return to its original state, but those people outside are truly dead when they die."
Someone angrily said: "But what does this have to do with us? Does it have anything to do with us whether they are dead or alive?"
"That's right, why should we die for them?!"
"Yes! That's not fair!"
Luo Yi remained silent.
He actually wanted to ask why he should die for us.
Makura frowned. He suddenly looked at a monk in the crowd and asked word for word: "You really want to know why? Really?"
"Okay, the answer is out there, and everyone out there is the answer."
"Why? You want to ask why, I still want to ask why!"
"A hundred thousand years ago, if these people hadn't been dying one after another, would you still have the chance to stand here and ask why?"
The monk suddenly choked on his words, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little unnatural.
Makura wanted to scold, but was stopped by Luo Yi.
Luo Yi was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I know that your realm is not high, cultivation is not easy, and you have not got any opportunities when you come here, so I will find a way to compensate you."
"But the vanguard tonight can only be you. This is a ruthless request from me as Luo Yi, and it is also a military order from me as the coach of this battle."
A monk asked: "You mean, we have to go even if we go, and we have to go even if we don't go?"
Luo Yi was silent for a moment and only said one word.
"right."
There was silence again.
At this moment, the Void Return Realm monk who explained earlier suddenly grinned.
He said slowly: "Brother Luo, I'm going to this battle."
"Not only in this battle, but in all subsequent battles, I am willing to be the vanguard."
Luo Yi and Makura both turned to look at him.
The man smiled and said, "My name is Wei Hao. To be honest, I don't want to go. To put it bluntly, I come from a small sect. Being able to participate in this competition is already a blessing."
Wei Hao was suddenly silent for a while, and then continued: "It's just that I came to join the battle this time because I want to complete something for my original body."
"My original Taoist companions and friends all died at the hands of Netherworld, including his mentor and his relatives. Overnight, everyone died, and he became a loner."
"He doesn't have any lofty ideals. He just wants revenge. He has nothing left."
"So when I came here this time, I didn't even think about going back alive."
Wei Hao touched the sword on his waist and laughed at himself: "After the competition, I will definitely be scolded by the old men of the sect, but I don't regret it."
Wei Hao drew out his sword, his eyes shining brightly: "Brother Luo, my original body died for me once a hundred thousand years ago."
"Today, I give my life back to him."
"I'm not a hero, and I don't have the strength. I just want to tell him."
"One hundred thousand years later, I, the man in the world of Liuli..."
"The blood has not yet cooled."
