The Tale of Breaking Free to Cultivate Immortality

The twenty-seventh thief did not say much. His limbs were broken, and his tendons were half-broken. It was only a matter of time before he died.

The group of the seventeenth envoys were stunned when they heard and watched.

They wiped out the forty thieves from three routes, and captured one of them alive! It was completely different from the one-sided beatings on the islands under the command of the seventeenth envoy.

Originally, Ge Xin just listened to the words of great victory and hard battle. The reward should not be less, but it would not be too much.

Now, one of the forty thieves gave him a great surprise.

"Old Eight, I will give you ten late-stage foundation-building demon cores alone. You can freely withdraw the three-year salary of the seven islands under your command!" Ge Xin waved his hand, and several confidants took the twenty-seventh thief away!

Ten demon cores of the late-stage foundation-building demon clan can be worth a lot of money just by selling them.

If used to break into the Tower of Babel, it is enough to pay the "cost" of breaking through the fifty floors once!

Ge Xin's move this time was a big deal. He had the money of the seven islands to spend freely for three years, which was a huge sum of money!

Ge Xin had already intended to win him over, but as he was in such a high position, he only needed to use both kindness and force, and he did not really lower himself to make friends.

"I don't want to hear any news about this person being captured outside." Ge Xin then said.

"Yes, leader!" Li Ruoyu's side had hidden the twenty-seven thieves very well.

Although a good record is a good thing, and killing the opponent is something worth boasting about, but if it is said that they have captured their people alive, it will definitely be a disaster.

Then the team invading Niujiao Island changed directly from three to two, and the news of the twenty-seventh thief had to be cut off from Chihuo.

As for the seventeenth fairy envoy, they were already stunned. Whether it was the eighth fairy envoy, the deputy leader or even the forty thieves, they couldn't afford to offend any of them!

They even felt that it was a mistake to come to ask for help today.

Of course, asking for help also has its benefits. Ge Xin directly assigned the second and ninth brothers who were closest to them to provide support.

Lao Ba and his men won a great victory and were the best supporters, but they were almost in two directions of the Black Water Alliance, so it was a bit unreasonable to send him there.

Li Ruoyu led the team back to Chihuo Island quietly. Because of the three-year privilege granted by the leader, Li Ruoyu did not directly take all the reward.

He reduced the original standard money by another 20%, and he only took half of the original amount.

During these three years, all islands of Chihuo must develop with all their strength, and try their best to win over the independent cultivators with clean origins. Perhaps a big change will happen soon!

After dealing with these, Li Ruoyu stayed on Chihuo Island for three months. His body refining skills have fallen behind in recent years, and it is just the right opportunity to catch up.

Unfortunately, during this period of time, there was no information about the invasion of the other forty thieves, and the other invaded direction also died down under the strong counterattack of the Black Water Alliance.

Seeing that the situation was eased, Li Ruoyu immediately returned to Yan Gui Island for retreat. This battle will definitely start, and the existence of the twenty-seventh thief is an inevitable fuse.

He wanted to improve himself as much as possible before the war broke out.

On Yangui Island, Wu Yanzhou was actually waiting for Li Ruoyu's arrival.

"Brother, I heard that you Chihuo won a great victory and wiped out three routes of forty thieves. Is it true?" Wu Yanzhou came up and congratulated him with a chuckle.

"Brother, things are not that simple. My Chihuo Island manager and his people captured a thief alive!" Li Ruoyu knew that Wu Yanzhou looked down on Ge Xin. Although he did not hide the matter of the twenty-seventh thief, the credit was given to Ge Xin's confidant.

Although Zhao Qi has a high status in Li Ruoyu's place, he is actually Ge Xin's man. Li Ruoyu and Wu Yanzhou both understand this.

Wu Yanzhou pondered for a while and did not reply immediately.

"Capturing forty thieves alive is not a trivial matter. It's okay if they can't confirm it in the short term. Once they determine the location of that person or the place where he was captured, then you Chihuo Islands and even the Black Water Alliance will be in big trouble!" Wu Yanzhou spoke after a long time.

"Well, I know this, but we have no way to intervene in the development of this matter. Before the war, you and I should try our best to improve ourselves, so that we won't have to worry about money and future prospects!" Li Ruoyu nodded.

He was so anxious to return to Yan Gui Island for retreat because he wanted to take advantage of this calm period to improve himself as much as possible.

"What you said makes sense, brother. I am about to collect ten drops of mana essence liquid and reach the point where I can complete the small Zhoutian cycle." Wu Yanzhou laughed.

"In this case, congratulations, brother." Li Ruoyu was also surprised. In Wu Yanzhou's case, being able to achieve the small Zhoutian cycle is definitely the limit of the limit.

At that time, he will step into the peak of foundation building, and then condense the mana essence liquid, no, the speed of condensing the true essence will be greatly improved.

Whether it is to deal with the forty thieves or to get promoted, it is a great thing.

"Why do you and I need to say these polite words, brother, you have to work hard too. If the two of us brothers can advance at the same time, this situation can be easily broken!" Wu Yanzhou said in high spirits.

Time was running out, so Li Ruoyu and the other two did not bother about trivial matters.

Many immortals of the Black Water League were preparing for war, but the two of them quietly closed their doors!

This closed door retreat lasted for three years.

As Wu Yanzhou expected, after more than two years, he condensed twelve drops of mana essence liquid and turned it into true essence - truly achieving the small Zhoutian cycle.

After nearly twenty years of hard work, he finally achieved this step. He did not hesitate at all and directly chose to break through the peak of foundation building.

This process is very long. Without the help of the mysterious water pond, it would take Wu Yanzhou at least sixty years to complete this process.

His talent potential and original accumulation were not enough to drive him to the point where the true essence could circulate the small Zhoutian in the late stage of foundation building.

With the help of the mysterious water pond, he did it, and his achievements were comparable to those of the true genius of the Shenfu Sect.

As for Li Ruoyu, his accumulation was even deeper. In less than two years of seclusion, he condensed twenty drops of mana essence liquid and formed a small Zhoutian cycle.

After forming the small Zhoutian cycle, he used the excuse of Chihuo Island to go back for about a month.

After forming the small Zhoutian cycle, you will not have to condense these true essences again after using them. You only need to spend a little time and energy to absorb spiritual energy to move the small Zhoutian to recover.

This small Zhoutian is also the part of the Burning Heaven Art that can be practiced after reaching the peak of foundation building. He used it in advance.

The most important thing is that Xiao Xuanzi gave him two sword techniques as agreed, buy one get one free, but the second one was a desperate move, Li Ruoyu only dared to comprehend it, not use it.

As for the first move, when he formed the small Zhoutian cycle, the true energy in his body could only barely provide him with what he needed to perform once.
