Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 56: A Dead Horse Should Be Treated as a Living Horse

Wei Xingying also had the same idea as Li Ying. Wei Xingying frowned deeply, and his mind was in a mess. At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came to his mind...
After hearing about Gong Lili's plan which could be said to be shocking, Wei Xingying couldn't help but gasp, thinking that this girl was really daring. Such a bizarre plan could probably only be thought of by a girl as bold as her.
However, no matter how outrageous it is, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed somewhat feasible. According to Ping Lili's plan, if it succeeds, not only will the danger of the West Gate be solved immediately, it seems that all the problems in front of us will no longer be a problem! At the very least, at least we can avoid the tragedy of fratricide in front of us!
However, the key to whether this plan will work is not him, nor Li Ying, but Ze Ze and Qing Luan, two outsiders who originally had no relationship with the Ruoye tribe. This reality made Wei Xingying feel quite embarrassed.
Wei Xingying lowered his head and glanced at Zeze. After spending some time together, he had long discovered that this boy who looked only about ten years old was probably as intelligent as any adult. In other words, he even had a level of restraint and calmness that many adults could not achieve. However, he was an outsider of unknown identity after all. If such an important task was to be entrusted to him, Wei Xingying was really unsure.
Although Qingluan had already confirmed the other party's identity and purpose, Wei Xingying had no idea to what extent the other party could help and how strong Qingluan was. After all, he was gambling on the lives of tens of thousands of Dragon Wing Army soldiers.
However, the current situation does not allow for any hesitation. It seems that the only way is to give it a try. Who cares? You can't get the tiger cub without risking it. So why not give it a try!
Wei Xingying quickly told the three people all about Gong Lili's plan. Just like Wei Xingying's initial reaction, the three people were dumbfounded after learning about this bold and fantastic plan. They were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
It was Li Ying who reacted first. After weighing the pros and cons, Li Ying strongly agreed with Gong Lili's plan. At this time, there were General Chiguo's rebels in front of him and General Su Ye's reinforcements behind him. Although one was an enemy and the other was a friend, for these innocent Fengyi Army members in front of them, the result was actually the same: death would be the end either way.
In this case, they might as well take a gamble. At least, it can buy them a glimmer of hope. More importantly, if this plan is feasible, the danger at the West Gate can be resolved immediately. Once the rebels are eliminated, they can focus on dealing with the Kongming tribe's army outside the East Gate!
Zeze, on the other hand, was somewhat interested in this bold and fresh plan. Although this guy looked only ten years old, his courage was unmatched.
The only one who hesitated was Qingluan. After all, she was an extremely important part of this plan, and Yinglili's previous proposal was for her to take a risky attempt that she had never tried before. When she thought that the lives of so many people were now entrusted to her hands, if there was the slightest mistake, countless people would be doomed, this maid from Penglai Fairyland became a little uneasy and was reluctant to nod.
Wei Xingying seemed to see through her hesitation. He came to Qingluan, patted her shoulder, and said calmly: "I believe in you. You will never let the tragedy of Licheng happen again."
Leaving the city…
Qingluan's heart trembled slightly, as if those bloody scenes were still before her eyes. Yes, she couldn't let the tragedy of Licheng happen again. It wasn't just that she would try her best, she absolutely couldn't!
An indescribable confidence suddenly emerged in her chest, and she finally nodded.
Seeing that the Dragon Cavalry led by General Su Ye was getting closer and closer, Li Ying suddenly used flag signals to command the First Battalion of the Fengyi Army to quickly retract their formation. After the First Battalion retreated to the circle that Qing Luan had just hastily drawn with her spiritual power, he tapped his toes lightly, jumped into the air, and held the flag high in his hand, and sent out another kind of flag signal unique to the Ruoye tribe to the Dragon Cavalry behind him. The leading General Su Ye was slightly startled when he saw the flag signaling the Dragon Cavalry to retreat. After seeing clearly that the person holding the flag was Li Ying, the commander of the third battalion of the Dragon Wing Army, his eyes flashed with a gleam of light. After a slight hesitation, he actually ordered the Dragon Cavalry to stop the charge, and put a distance of half a mile between the Dragon Cavalry and the rebels.
Although he didn't know what tricks Li Ying was playing, General Su Ye understood the deep meaning behind the flag signal that Li Ying had just raised. He was using the flag signal to tell him that he was acting on the orders of His Highness and asked him not to act rashly for the time being.
His Highness's order, haha, General Su Ye snorted coldly in his heart, does he think he is a three-year-old child?
However, Li Ying's move did arouse his curiosity. Although the other party was lying, since Li Ying dared to lie so unscrupulously with open eyes and openly put up the name of His Highness, let's see what kind of amazing move the brain of this legendary Dragon Wing Army would make.
A playful expression appeared on General Su Ye's face.
At this moment, Qingluan had already jumped out of the spiritual power circle she had drawn. She soared into the air, suddenly took out from her arms the octagonal bronze mirror that she had used outside the city, and threw it into the air. Five-colored rays of light shot out from the octagonal bronze mirror like a pouring galaxy!
However, the situation was completely different from before. As Qingluan muttered a completely different spell from before, this time countless resentful souls were released from the octagonal bronze mirror. Those resentful souls were whistling and roaring with sounds like ghosts howling, as if the door to the ghost realm had suddenly opened. All of a sudden, tens of thousands of resentful souls scattered in all directions. Before the Fengyi Army that had surrounded everyone could react to what was happening, those resentful souls had suddenly possessed them!
Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the sky outside the west gate, black waves surged, and the breath of death was everywhere!
In less than half a cup of tea, the nearly 40,000-strong Fengyi Army rebels were almost all possessed by the vengeful soul shadow with the aura of death!
The octagonal bronze mirror was still continuously releasing more resentful soul shadows, and the direction was heading towards the Wind Cavalry outside the west gate!
However, the Wind Cavalry here is different from the Wind Wing Army. They have basically all transformed into beasts, and have become something that is neither human nor beast. Moreover, there are still a large number of Kongming wizards in the Wind Cavalry. With the magical powers of those wizards, those resentful spirit shadows cannot easily erode them!
When Qingluan saw this scene, cold sweat broke out on his back. It seemed that this plan was only half successful. He wondered if such a result would satisfy Pinglili?
In fact, Pinglili was already quite satisfied! Because so far, the development of the situation was exactly as she expected! In fact, Qingluan did it better and more perfectly than she expected!
At this time, a roar of a Qiongqi monster was suddenly heard outside the west gate of Yonghui City. Then, Gonglili, who was wearing silver dragon scale soft armor on the back of Qiongqi, gently raised his right hand, and the Demon Binding Ring flew out of his hand. The Demon Binding Ring spun around in the air and shot out a huge and dazzling silver light. The silver light was overwhelming, as if to cover the entire world. Everything happened in an instant. Before General Chiguo and General Suye could react to what was happening, a scene that they would never forget happened!
As the huge silver light burned to the ground, all the Fengyi soldiers who were possessed by the resentful soul shadows before were seen crawling on the ground in extreme pain. Then, one by one, they turned into wisps of light smoke in an instant and were taken in by the demon-binding ring!
Then, the demon-binding ring spun around in the air again, as if it had life, and flew back into the hands of Gong Lili.
It was still the same size as a palm, and its appearance seemed to be no different from before. No one would have thought that the demon-binding ring, which seemed to be only the size of a palm, could actually suck in thousands of troops and tens of thousands of Wind Wing soldiers like ants!
Including Mu Feng and Yan Zheng on the west gate wall, they were all stunned at this moment!
General Su Ye, who had been keeping a distance and watching from the sidelines, could not hide the look of horror on his face!
The one who could not accept the scene most was probably General Chiguo, who suddenly found that half of his men had turned into floating clouds. Although his Fengqi Army had luckily escaped this disaster, the 50,000-strong Fengyi Army was wiped out in an instant. This was a huge loss for his rebel army.
However, he had no time to sigh over what he saw, because in the next moment, he felt the breath of death approaching!
A short black iron blade with a golden glow suddenly came from nowhere and pointed directly at his throat!
The General Chiguo was not a vegetarian either. He just raised the long whip in his hand, and the whip suddenly flew out like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue, tightly binding the short black iron blade!
There was a flash in Ping Lili's eyes, and with a flick of his left hand's two fingers, he threw the long whip that was wrapped around his short blade away like a blade of grass. With a shake of his right wrist, a crescent-shaped blade light flew out from the black iron short blade like a jade belt around the waist!
After all, General Chiguo was an extraordinary person. He swung the long whip in his hand, and a ray of purple light as thin as an ox hair collided head-on with the terrifying sword light emitted by the short black iron blade, and there was an immediate crackling sound, like spring rain falling on the ceiling.
It was just a moment of close combat, but in that instant, Ping Lili experienced the strength of General Chiguo, who was once known as one of the two pillars of the Ruoye tribe. She had used almost 80% of her strength in the previous move, but the opponent easily resolved it with one move. It seems that General Chiguo is indeed a tough nut to crack!
Ping Lili snorted coldly in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to attack again. She controlled Qiongqi and circled above General Chiguo, as if waiting for a more suitable opportunity to attack!
Or rather, she was actually waiting for someone else.
