In the following days, everyone practiced hard. In just ten days, Wen Yan, Xue Lin, Xue Shi, Xue Lie, and Xue Tian were all promoted to the sixth level of ghost general. I also tried my best to refine the blood essence of monsters that I had absorbed before, and raised it to the peak of the seventh level of ghost general. Finally on the fifteenth day, Li Yingxue was promoted to the eighth level of ghost general. When Ye Jianming saw that his fiancée had reached the eighth level of ghost general before him, he suddenly felt ashamed. He was afraid that everyone would use this to laugh at him, but everyone was busy practicing and had no time to pay attention to him, so he didn't ask for trouble and calmed down and concentrated on practicing.
On the twentieth day, Ye Jianming was finally promoted to the eighth level of ghost general, Xue Shan was also promoted to the seventh level of ghost general, Chen Tong and Yun Chan were promoted to the peak of the seventh level of ghost general, and I was still at the peak of the seventh level of ghost general, only one step away from promotion. One step away, we now finally have two strong men at the eighth level of ghost generals, who have the capital to fight against those monster beasts.
Ye Jianming was eager to settle accounts with the group of monsters, and said: "In the past twenty days of training, everyone's strength has improved a lot. It's time for us to relax."
"As for you, you are so impatient that you can't wait even a moment. Brother Ye Yu is only one step away from advancing to the eighth level of ghost general. When he advances, won't it be easy for us to deal with those monster beasts?" Li Yingxue said.
"Why bother? When the time comes, those two ghosts will hand over the eighth-level monsters to me, and the other small fish and shrimps to you." Ye Jianming said.
"Bragging!" Li Yingxue said.
"Just wait and see when the time comes!" Ye Jianming said, flying towards the bloody forest.
A group of us were a little confused. Did this kid take the wrong medicine and he was so anxious? A group of us didn't waste any time and flew towards the bloody grassland. I guess he might be feeling a little unhappy because his fiancée was promoted to the eighth level of ghost general before him. But when I think about it, although he considers himself to be the number one among the younger generation of the Fiery Sword Sect, Li Yingxue is the darling daughter of the Ice and Snow Sect, and her talent is no worse than his. Moreover, the Ice and Snow Sect and the Fiery Sword Sect were both among the best sects under the Heavenly Sword Sect. Their backgrounds and strengths were not much different, otherwise the elders of the two sects would not have tried their best to arrange this marriage.
We flew to the place where we last encountered the monster, used the power of the netherworld to carefully check the surrounding situation, but found no trace of the monster. Ye Jianming found that there was not a single monster, and he was so angry that he flew directly towards the depths of the bloody grassland.
During the flight, I released all my power of the netherworld and carefully observed the surrounding situation, fearing that I might be ambushed by a monster. On the way, we only occasionally encountered a few monsters at the intermediate level of ghost generals, but they were all killed by Ye Jianming's sword. This kid seems to be in trouble with the group of monsters that are chasing us, and he won't give up until he finds them.
It wasn't until night, when Ye Jianming finally stopped, that we breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yingxue stepped forward angrily and was about to question Ye Jianming when I stopped him. I sent a message to Li Yingxue and said, "Brother Ye must have something unspeakable in his heart. It's better not to criticize him harshly."
"Everyone rest where you are, I will keep vigil tonight." Ye Jianming said.
Others also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and they did not dare to offend Ye Jianming, so they sat down and started practicing. Ye Jianming stood alone and looked into the distance, seemingly thoughtful.
I took out two jars of wine from my storage bag and handed one jar to Ye Jianming. Ye Jianming took the wine, took a big sip, and said, "Brother Ye Yu, you must be blaming me too!"
"Why should I blame Brother Ye?" I said.
"Ignoring everyone's obstruction, I went my own way and looked for traces of the monster." Ye Jianming said.
"Brother Ye must have his own reason for doing this. I believe Brother Ye would never do it for no reason." I said.
Ye Jianming laughed and continued drinking. We drank until late at night. Ye Jianming suddenly said: "When I was a child, the sect did not train me as the successor of this generation. Because my eldest brother Zhuyu was in front of him, the sect elders placed all the sect's hopes on him and trained him wholeheartedly. Our generation all got a happy and free childhood. But after my eldest brother passed away, our generation instantly lost its backbone, and the pressure suddenly fell on us. My cousin Ye Jianxuan and I stood out, and some elders were optimistic about me. Some elders are optimistic about him. The cousins who were once close to each other have now become incompatible. Although there is no case of fratricide, they are often quarrelsome. Three years ago, the Fiery Sword Sect and the Ice and Snow Sect got married, and finally in my I was chosen among my cousin and I. Yingxue is extremely talented, has a perverse temperament, and has always been stronger than me. In the past three years, I have practiced hard, hoping to surpass her one day, but in the end, I was still not as good as her. It makes me a little discouraged. I think my talent is not inferior to hers, but after all, I still am."
Ye Jianming didn't finish his words, he just sighed and continued drinking.
"Brother Ye, what do you think of my strength and talent?" I asked.
"Brother Ye Yu doesn't have a background in a big sect, but I admire him for having such strength, both in terms of strength and talent. If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily have the strength of Brother Ye Yu." Ye Jianming said.
I smiled slightly and said: "Brother Ye, thank you for your praise. Brother Ye had a carefree childhood and only started to practice hard ten years ago. Yingxue is not low in talent. She is the darling daughter of the Ice and Snow Sect. She must have started working hard since she was a child. You are today If your cultivation is not inferior to hers, how would you deal with yourself if you were in her shoes?"
"Brother Ye Yu is really good at comforting people, but I'm too impatient." Ye Jianming changed his sad look and said with a smile.
"There are many talented people in the world. I have seen two Heavenly Sword Masters from the Heavenly Sword Sect, both of whom are as old as you. I hope Brother Ye will take a longer-term view and don't let the temporary highs and lows Gains and losses lead to loss of direction,” I said.
"Thank you Brother Ye Yu for your kind words, which helped me clear away the gloom in my heart." Ye Jianming said.
"Since the spiritual sword in your hand was given by the head of the Tianjian Sect, it must not be a mortal thing. I hope you will keep your true intentions and achieve limitless achievements in the future. Otherwise, why did the Ice and Snow Sect choose you instead of your cousin? I must know your future future. Infinite." I said.
"Thank you Brother Ye Yu for your kind words. I wonder if you can tell me which two heavenly swords you have seen?" Ye Jianming asked.
"The Cold Snow Sword and the Void Sword." I said.
"Hanxue Sword Liu Hanshan, I have heard of his name. He is a once-in-a-century genius from the Tianjian Sect. As for the Void Sword, I have never heard of him. I never thought that two swordsmanship geniuses with extraordinary talents would appear in the younger generation. We were born in the same era as them. I don’t know if it’s our luck or our sorrow, but even if I lose, I will try my best. It’s a pity that I can’t fight them during this trip to Burial City. Only when I reach the realm of the Ghost King can I have a chance. When we meet them, I hope we can have the opportunity to compete with them." Ye Jianming said, he was full of fighting spirit at the moment, and his whole person was like a blazing flame.
"There must be a chance. They are all my friends. I will introduce you to them when the time comes. They are all people worth getting to know." I said.
"It's a deal!" Ye Jianming said.
"It's a deal!" I said.
The two of us drank until the next morning. Ye Jianming's spirit improved a lot. He even roasted monster meat for everyone as an apology for yesterday's incident. Everyone showed surprised expressions. Based on everyone's understanding of him, he Not a person willing to admit his mistakes.
Li Yingxue came to me and asked: "Brother Ye Yu, what did you say to Ye Jianming last night? Why does he seem to be a different person?"
I said, "Is it getting better or worse?"
"I don't know, I just think it's weird. In the past, it would have been harder for him to barbecue for others than to kill him. Today, for the first time, he grilled everyone for the first time. I even doubted whether this person was him. ." Li Yingxue said.
"He just has some knots in his heart that have been resolved. The him you saw before may not be the real him, but the him you see now may be the real him." I said.
"Oh, you've already confused me. Forget it, why don't I stop asking?" Li Yingxue said and walked away.
In the following days, we flew towards the depths of the bloody grassland, traveling during the day, practicing at night, and arranging for one person to keep vigil. But in these days, except for the occasional sporadic encounter with a few monsters at the intermediate level of ghost generals, we have not found any traces of large groups of monsters, which makes us very puzzled. It stands to reason that there are many monsters in the Blood Grassland, and they are all in large groups. If we wander around there, we will definitely encounter them, but the situation we encounter now is completely different from what we expected. After discussing it together, everyone felt that this situation was too abnormal, as if there was an invisible net slowly surrounding us. After considering everyone's opinions, Ye Jianming made a prompt decision and decided to take everyone out of the Bloody Grassland. During these days of going deep into the bloody grassland, the only thing that makes everyone happy is that I have advanced to the eighth level of the ghost general, which has improved the team's strength.
