As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills - Chapter 425

425 Who Was It
Jinyang Mountain Range was connected to Jinyuan City and Yangzhou City. There were also countless small and medium-sized cities and mortal cities along this stretch of land.

There were no less than hundreds of bandit gangs and bandit nests here. The Jinyuan army and the Yangzhou army often carried out raids. However, these bandit gangs and bandit nests kept cropping up.

Especially the four great bandit gangs and the nine great thief lairs!

These thirteen gangs could be said to be the most powerful forces in the Jinyang Mountain Range. They often became enemies with the various large immortal cultivation factions and often caused massacres. Not long ago, a mortal city and an immortal cultivation town were massacred. Among the people who died were dozens of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators at their peak and Void Core Realm cultivators.

And the strongest among the thirteen gangs was undoubtedly the Black Wind Mountain!

!!
At this moment, facing the Black Wind Mountain, the commander of the Yangzhou army, Di Tianfeng, was vexed.

“Commander, should we attack? Now that the Black Wind Mountain is becoming more and more powerful, if we don’t defeat them, they will become the absolute masters of the Jinyang Mountain Range in the future. At that time, it will be enough to compete with Yangzhou’s Li family and Jinyuan’s Zhao family!”

A subordinate commander walked in and began his persuasion. He was eager to attack the mountain and destroy those bandits.

At this moment, the commander on the other side said, “Old Li, I know that you are from the Li family and that you place the Li family’s interests above everything else. However, you must know that once you send troops and engage in battle, the ones who will die will be innocent soldiers. No matter how many casualties you suffer, you will not be able to severely injure the Black Wind Mountain!”

Old Li was furious when he heard that.

“Sun, what do you mean? I’m a member of the Li family. However, I’m advocating an immediate attack not for the sake of the Li family, but for the sake of the people at the foot of the mountain! In the past few days, some of the towns that belong to Yangzhou City have been attacked by the Black Wind Mountain. A large number of people have died tragically.”

Commander Sun snorted coldly.

“Old Li, you’re really living in the past. Those commoners are just a bunch of lambs that can be slaughtered by us. Their only use is to contribute labor by mining for us to obtain spirit stones and other resources. Other than that, what other use do they have? Their lives can’t be considered lives at all!”

Commander Sun spoke bluntly, as if he did not care about the lives of those innocent people at all. This undoubtedly angered Old Li.

“Old Sun, if you have the guts, then shut your mouth and come out to fight me!”

Old Li really wanted to press this guy to the ground and kill him.

Such inhumanity! To think that he was the commander of the Yangzhou army!

Commander Sun could not be bothered to waste his breath.

“Old Li, don’t forget that you’re an immortal cultivator, not a philanthropist. As an immortal cultivator, you’re an extraordinary existence. Why should you care about the lives of some ants in the mortal world?”
“You!”

Old Li wanted to berate him, but he was stopped.

“Commander Li, I know that you’re very eager to eradicate the Black Wind Mountain and return peace to the countless citizens and towns. However, how can the Black Wind Mountain be eliminated so easily? If our army moves, they will flee upon hearing the news. They will even use their territorial advantage to ambush us. At that time, just as Commander Sun said, not only will we not be able to deal with the Black Wind bandits, but our soldiers will also die in vain!”

His words also made Old Li slightly stunned. The latter immediately clenched his fists and said, “At most, I will go deep alone and behead those bandit leaders. How about that?”

“Are you courting death? An early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator dared to venture deep into the thieves’ lair? Don’t forget that the Black Wind Mountain has an intermediate Golden Core Realm cultivator and an early-stage Innate Martial Realm expert. How can you fight against them?” Commander Sun sneered.

Although the commander did not speak, his meaning was clear. He did not agree with this method, and this undoubtedly made Old Li even angrier.

“Do you think the hundreds of millions of people in Yangzhou can survive? Alright, since you insist on not going, then I’ll go alone. As for whether I live or die, there’s no need for you to say anything!”

He was about to turn around and head to the Black Wind Mountain, planning to go deep into the thieves’ lair and catch them off-guard.

However, in the next moment, a powerful aura erupted, forming a shocking pressure that suppressed Old Li.

what the ....!

Old Li’s face darkened slightly as he looked at his commander in disbelief.

“Commander, what do you mean?”

He had a vague guess in his heart. However, it was too bold, so much so that Old Li did not want to admit it at all.

In response, the grand commander remained silent. On the contrary, it was Commander Sun who took a step forward and laughed mockingly.

“To tell you the truth, the reason why the Black Wind Mountain and other forces can survive is because of the higher-ups. As a member of the Li family, you are too much of a fringe member. In addition, you are always opposing the higher-ups of the Li family and want to be loyal to the royal family of the Feather Kingdom. This is already a violation of the Li family’s taboo. Not to mention, the Black Wind Mountain is the cash cow for the Li and Zhao families. If you touch it, wouldn’t that be touching the Li and Zhao family’s interests?!” Commander Sun sneered and sized up Old Li as if he was looking at an idiot. The latter also shivered from being doused in such a bucket of cold water.

“No, Sun, don’t try to bluff me! Although the Li family is a little selfish, we will not treat the lives of the people under Yangzhou as worthless! This is the Li family’s duty to guard Yangzhou for the royal family of the Feather Kingdom. We will never let them down!” Old Li kept roaring. However, his heart was clear as a mirror. He only pretended not to believe it.

One had to know that both the grand commander and Commander Sun were under the command of a certain important figure of the Li family, and if that important figure was placed in the Li family, other than the family head and ancestor, no one could suppress him.

In fact, this conspiracy was closely related to the family head!

“Ahhhhh!” Old Li roared crazily. He really wanted to hear the words of those people in the family saying that everything was fake.

It was also at this moment that a power that could make one’s heart tremble erupted.

“What happened? Why did a battle suddenly break out?”

The commander was very shocked. He immediately looked into the distance and jumped in fright. There were actually quite a number of powerful cultivators flying into the sky.

This time, the situation seemed to be very bad!

“Who are they? Could it be that Old Li made arrangements early on and knew our plan? Therefore, he chose to attack the Black Wind Mountain?”

When the commander thought of this, he immediately glanced at Old Li, only to find that the latter was also shocked.

Then, who was it?

A battle actually broke out within the Black Wind Mountain?!
