When Li Bochen was possessed by the spirit god a month ago, he felt that he could kill gods and demons and was omnipotent, so he gave Fengxue Sword God a lesson. Afterwards, he could hardly remember what methods he used and how he taught Fengxue Sword God.
But then Xu Cheng became more respectful than before - he was a little "unruly" for a period of time and would even express dissatisfaction, but now even this dissatisfaction has disappeared. He loyally and without hesitation carried out every order given by Li Bochen without any nonsense words. He occasionally interrupted, but most of them were flattery.
From this, Li Bochen believed that his other goal of bringing the Fearless True Lord to the world was also accomplished well - Fengxue Sword God no longer had any doubts and completely surrendered to the "Chun Yuan Emperor" in a short period of time.
But to be honest, he really missed the Xu Cheng that he had been in a month ago, after he entered Dangtu Mountain.
"Elaborate." Li Bochen said to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng stood in front of him politely and said: "When I was about a hundred steps away from them, I felt as if I was losing my mind and my spirit body was about to disperse. So I was a hundred steps away, I searched again from four directions, but couldn't get close. The wind and snow outside were too heavy, and I could only see that the person wearing iron armor, and being able to march in such weather, must be a Rakshasa."
Li Bochen turned to Ge Xuanbai and said, "Wait a moment."
Then he asked him and five other people to guard the bunker door, and he sat cross-legged on the spot, and the Yin spirit came out of his body.
He quickly went in the direction Xu Cheng said and saw the hundred-man team in the wind and snow three miles away. He had spiritual luck and was able to walk closer than Xu Cheng, but when he got more than 20 steps forward, he was still blocked.
He experienced the feeling that Xu Cheng said - his thoughts became erratic and divergent, and a heat seemed to be generated in his body, eager to merge with the heaven and earth. In fact, he could try to move forward again, but firstly he was afraid of arousing the alarm of this group of people, and secondly, when he was possessed by the spirit god a month ago, his body and Yin spirit suffered a huge burden, and he is still slowly moving forward. While recovering, he didn't want to risk getting hurt again, so he went to see them from a distance of twenty paces.
Hundreds of people were all covered in armor, even their face shields were removed. The iron armor is also wrapped in animal skins, and the weapons carried on the body are various, including not only Rakshasa's iconic broadsword, but also spears, double knives, maces and other weapons. There were camel beasts at the front and end of the team, which looked like bloated beasts. They carried some marching baggage and probably some food.
The wind and snow were so heavy that Li Boxen could only see these details. These people all bowed and said nothing as they moved forward. It was obvious that they were struggling in the wind and snow, and some even became exhausted and almost fell down. Li Boxen knew that if he fell down in this kind of weather and place, he would definitely die. But what surprised him was that there was a Rakshasa next to him who supported his companion and put him on the back of the beast of burden. After regaining some strength, I got down and continued walking.
Will Rakshasa do the same? This is the first question in Li Boxen's mind.
Then he was sure of one thing - this hundred-man team was indeed heading towards the bunker, and its destination was probably there.
If it were a team sent from the Demon King's Court or other directions to investigate the situation of the Western Route Army, the direction of travel should be to the southeast, but this team was heading due east.
Directly east of here, there was nothing but the bunker and the long, steep, barren mountain behind it.
How did Rakshasa know about the bunker? This was the second question in his mind. When he led the troops into the bunker, it was obvious that it had been dusty for a long time. Some of the weapons and equipment left behind during the retreat decades ago were still there. He even found several official documents left behind in a room in the bunker. If this fort had been discovered by Rakshasa earlier, there would be no reason why those things would be intact.
He no longer thought about it, returned to the castle and stood up, only to find that Ge Xuanbai had sent everyone else aside to stay by his side.
Li Bochen told Ge Xuanbai about this and said, "What do you think?"
He no longer hid his magical powers from those who followed him, nor did he explain them. However, everyone saw the power he showed that night and already thought that he was Beichen's orthodox. They were not surprised by these things, but felt that he was more worthy of awe.
Ge Xuanbai frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I thought that this snowstorm would have passed five days ago, but until now, our people have not had enough to eat these days... In fact, even if they are full, it will not be a waste outside. The opponent of the Rakshasa people. And there is still such a heavy wind and snow... If the Rakshasa people's target is really the bunker, I think we can seal the bunker from the inside and keep them out. According to what Junhou said, They can't stand it any longer. Let's stay inside for a day or two, and they will either leave or die."
Li Bochen nodded: "Actually, it's the same for us."
Ge Xuanbai was stunned for a moment, with a look of shame on his face, knowing that what he said made sense. There was no food in the bunker, and the firewood for heating was almost running out. There was only no shortage of water.
If it were Junhou himself, he thought to himself, he would have left the bunker long ago. Those of us who had pledged our allegiance to him were now a burden to him.
Li Bochen said: "And this hundred-man team may be the vanguard of the army. If it drags on for a day or two and there is a large army behind it, things will be difficult to handle."
That’s what it meant. Ge Xuanbai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and felt that his thoughts just now were a bit like a villain's heart and a gentleman's heart.
He said: "Then, what do you want to do?"
Li Boxen said: "What do you think if we set up an ambush first and let them in?"
Ge Xuanbai thought for a moment and said: "There is a long passage leading into the bunker, which can seal the rooms on both sides. We use two bed crossbows to ambush at the end. Within a hundred steps, even they wearing steel armor will be strung together. There is no way to avoid it. But, if there is a master inside... It’s not that I don’t believe in you, it’s just that I want to figure things out for you. I mean, if—”
Li Boxen said: "I know."
But he thought this was a good way - Sui Ziang used this to deal with him when he was in Zhangcheng.
In fact, if more than a hundred Rakshasa were ordinary people, it would not be difficult for him to wander in the wind and snow, kill twenty or thirty of them, and frighten them away with his current cultivation and the use of dark soldiers. But what worried him was the power of this hundred-man team to resist the approach of evil spirits. Rakshasa people cannot use magic, which means it is either some kind of spell or treasure, or there is a magic master who is not a Rakshasa.
He relied on the power of the spirit god to kill Zhi Yasi and seriously injured the Sumeru priest. He originally thought that after becoming Li Shengyi's spiritual master, a fake Beichen similar to the fearless true king would appear, but in fact he did not appear. It seemed to mean that he was indeed the real Beichen. This is both a good thing and a bad thing - at least until the Fearless True Monarch fully recovers, he can no longer use the power of the Spiritual God.
