"Why does the absence of a saint-level powerhouse mean that the qi is exhausted." Seeing that Prince Jeff seemed to have finished speaking, Bettina mustered up the courage to ask again.

"Hehe, this world, hegemony, territory, wealth, is the residence of the virtuous. So what is a virtuous person, a virtuous person? Moral character? That's. Only strength is the most fundamental, if there is no corresponding strength, then having too large a territory will invite death. If you think about it, if it weren't for the strong force of our Sayi Empire, how could it be possible to destroy the previous empires. Prince Jeff said lightly, although this fact is a little cruel, but it is really a wise saying.

Listening to Prince Jeff's words, Bettina and Elena both nodded thoughtfully.

"Back then, after your grandfather saw that the cultivation of the three of us brothers was hopeless, although he was a little resigned to his fate, he still wanted to give it a go. That's why he let your second grandfather hide his identity with a huge fortune and sneak into the Tianlan Empire as an undercover agent. He also hopes that before his fall, there will be a saint-level powerhouse in the royal family of our Sayi Empire, and at least we can find a saint-level powerhouse who is willing to sincerely help our royal family. It's a pity that in the end, our Sayi royal family did not give birth to a saint-level powerhouse. Your father has cultivated for so many years, but he is only in the sixfold realm. And your second grandfather's family has been lurking in the Tianlan Empire for a hundred years, but in the end, they have no power to return to the sky. Speaking of this, Prince Jeff couldn't help but feel gloomy.

Hearing this, Bettina had already guessed that civil strife suddenly broke out in the Tianlan Empire ten years ago, and the Duke Vanessa who provoked the civil strife should be the descendant of the second grandfather. Although the Say Empire tried everything to save it, in the end, it was difficult to escape the doom of destroying the country.

After some emotion, Prince Jeff continued: "Thirty years ago, your great-grandfather fell because he was too old. And after his fall, the two of us became worried. Because of the fall of your grandfather, sooner or later it will be known to the other two empires. And when the time comes, we will not be able to escape the doom. So ten years ago, your father frantically launched an attack on the Tianlan Empire, just hoping to deter the Tianlan Empire, hoping that they would not guess the fact that your grandfather had fallen. It's a pity that it's self-defeating, the king of the Tianlan Empire seems to want to take a big gamble, he bets that our Sayi Empire has no saint-level powerhouses, so he dares to brazenly use troops against our country. As a result, he won the bet, and our Say's empire became his spoils. ”

"Why can he guess that there are no saint-level powerhouses in our Sayi Empire, and can saint-level powerhouses really decide the fate of an empire?" Regarding Prince Jeff's repeated emphasis on the importance of saint-level powerhouses, Bettina couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"As cultivators, you should know that after we pass the cultivation, our lifespan will slowly extend. Ordinary people, if they don't cultivate, will have a lifespan of about eighty years. And those of us who have achieved a small degree of cultivation can live to be about 120 years old. But once you reach the realm of the Sage, then the lifespan will be extended to two hundred years. Your grandfather, as the supreme force of the former Sayyi Empire, how could his age be unclear to the other two empires. Although he is an old man, he is still unable to resist the erosion of time. Even if we don't publicize it, the other two countries will be able to guess the fact that his old man is about to die. A saint-level powerhouse, as an existence that has been out of the scope of normal people, is not allowed to participate in the battle between countries. But if a country suffers a devastating blow, then this saint-level powerhouse can justifiably stand up and defend his country. It is for this reason that after your grandfather guarded our Sayi Empire for two hundred years and finally died, the Tianlan Empire dared to attack us brazenly. At this, Prince Jeff couldn't help but clench his fists. He hated, hated why he didn't have an outstanding cultivation talent.

Seeing the old man's painful appearance, Bettina comforted: "Third grandfather, the past cannot be changed, and we can still rebuild the Sayi Empire if we work together in the future." ”

Hearing Bettina's comforting words, although Prince Jeff was very relieved, he still couldn't help but show a little pain in his eyes.

"Son, when your father sent you out of the Seine Royal City, he hoped that you would one day repeat the glory of our Sayy Empire. Among so many children, you have the best talent, and it is not impossible for you to rush to the realm of a saint in the future. I hope you can cherish your talent, so that it will not be in vain for so many years of hard work. But the third grandfather is old and can't accompany you for many years. Prince Jeff looked very depressed as he spoke.

"Why did the third grandfather say such frustrating things, your old man is only over eighty years old this year, and he can live for decades, why can't he accompany us." Seeing Prince Jeff's depressed look, Bettina comforted him.

"Well, it's my fault. Last year, because I couldn't find any news of your children for a long time, and in the end, in my confusion, I sneaked into the capital of the Tianlan Empire, wanting to wait for an opportunity to kill a few of their princes. I just want to cut off their roots, let the king of the Tianlan Empire be too strong, if there is no queen, I see who can continue to protect the Tianlan Empire. Unfortunately, I was finally noticed by him. If it weren't for the fact that I escaped quickly, and he didn't bother to pursue me, my old life would have been abandoned in the Tianlan Empire a year ago. But Rao is like this, I have also been seriously injured, and the attack of a saint-level powerhouse is too extraordinary. My current physical condition can no longer support me for a few years. After saying this, Prince Jeff's expression darkened again.

After listening to Prince Jeff's story, the Bettina sisters all stared at Prince Jeff with big eyes, and they couldn't imagine that Prince Jeff, who was old and serious, could still do such a crazy thing. But no matter what, it has happened, and looking at Prince Jeff's appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying, it seems that this old man who looks in good spirits really doesn't have many years to live.

For a moment, no one in the room spoke anymore, and everyone was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

In the end, it was Prince Jeff who was the first to speak: "Hehe, I have lived enough for an old fellow for so many years." It's a blessing to have this life back, and you don't have to grieve like that. Now that you kids are so good, even an old fellow like me is no match for you. When you get down there, I see your father and tell him the news, and I think he'll be happy too. ”

Seeing Prince Jeff's forced smile, Sister Bettina was distressed. However, it seems that the two sisters don't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, and in an instant, the two no longer look sad.

Bettina opened her mouth and said to Prince Jeff: "Third grandfather, then you tried so hard to win over Li Yi before, did you value his talent?" ”

"Well, that's exactly why. The five-fold peak of thirty years old should only appear in those hidden big families. If even he can't advance to the Sage Realm, then there are few people in this world who can advance to the Sage Realm. If he can join our Yanlong Legion, then if we can really re-establish the country in the future, then he will be our indispensable pillar. At least until you cultivate to a saint-level powerhouse, he is our only guarantee. Speaking of Li Yi, Prince Jeff still has a feeling of amazement.

"It's just ......," the old prince changed his words and continued: "It's just that I think that Li Yi's personality is a little weird, as if if he agrees to something, then he will definitely try his best to complete it." But I felt that this man seemed to have no desires, and no matter what I promised, he was indifferent. Such people are really scary, and they are really difficult to control. If I were still the prince of the Say Empire, I would see a figure like Li Yi. If I can't win him over, then I will definitely do everything I can to strangle him. Such a person cannot be used by me, and that cannot be obtained by others. ”

If the king of the Tianlan Empire was here, he would definitely agree with Prince Jeff's statement. Because the reason why the king of the Tianlan Empire would always think about killing Li Yi was because he felt that Li Yi was too difficult to control. As the king of a country, seeing a person who is very likely to become a saint-level powerhouse, if he can't control it in his own hands, then he can only do everything he can to strangle him in the cradle. Because no one can guarantee that when Li Yi becomes a saint-level powerhouse in the future, he will not covet his empire.

This matter, even the current Li Yi himself can't guarantee. Because when you don't have this strength, you naturally don't have the idea of dominating the world.

"Third grandfather, don't think about these things now. I don't think Li Yi should be the kind of person who doesn't believe in his words, he said that he would help us restore the country, so he will naturally do his best. Let's talk about it in the future, you also know that Li Yi is not a member of our Sayi Empire's royal family after all, even if he agrees to join our Yanlong Legion, we will not be able to rest assured of him 100% in the future. Although Bettina believed in Li Yi's character very much in her heart, she didn't dare to say too much at this time.

Hearing Bettina's words, Prince Jeff also nodded in agreement, and then said lightly: "Forget it, everything is as fate would have it, seriously, although we are full of confidence." However, it is too difficult to re-establish the Say-Empire under the circumstances. And no matter how far Li Yi develops in the future, it has nothing to do with us. And he still seems to have an irresolvable hatred with the Tianlan Empire, as long as he knows that he will become an enemy of the Tianlan Empire in the future, it is enough. ”

After Prince Jeff finished speaking, Sister Bettina didn't say anything more. After that, the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion fell into complete calm.

And as Prince Jeff, the protagonist Li Yi who they have always talked about, immediately joined his troops after leaving the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, after a period of rest, the state of Yadi and the others has all recovered. However, the cavalry troops he brought with him looked a little tired, but there was no problem with the march.

I thought that if I continued to stay in Creek City, then maybe Prince Jeff would come to nag him. So he didn't want to have any more entanglements, so after Li Yi joined his own troops, he took this cavalry unit out of Xicheng in a mighty way.

Although the cavalry troops led by Li Yi are elite, after all, these cavalry are ordinary flesh and blood. In terms of the recovery speed of the body, it is far from being comparable to Li Yi and the others.

Therefore, although Li Yi hurriedly led his team to leave Xicheng and march towards Jingchuan Province, thinking of the physical condition of his subordinates, the marching speed of Li Yi and his party was not very fast.

And just when Li Yi and his troops were unhurriedly marching on the official road from Zhongba Province to Jingchuan Province, two shadows suddenly appeared out of thin air in a mountain col on both sides of them.

These two people are extremely weird, and they really appeared there out of thin air. Even with the eyesight of Li Yi and others, they did not notice their appearance.

But if Li Yi could see these two people who suddenly appeared at this time, then Li Yi would definitely be able to recognize them as soon as possible.

These two people are none other than the strange old man who taught Li Yi's martial arts and combat skills in the abandoned land back then, of course, this strange old man is naturally a killing god. And the other person who appeared with the God of Killing was none other than Tony, the old man who had been fighting iron in Lily of the Valley City for more than ten years.

However, at this time, the old Tony is no longer the mediocre appearance of the past, although his current appearance is a little older than when he was in Lily of the Valley City, but the strong aura exuded from him, no one can underestimate this old man.

After the two of them stood still, they stood on the col and watched Li Yi lead the troops forward. After being silent for a while, old Tony slowly said to the God of Killing: "Wolf, did you really decide to let Li Yi waste his life like this?" Although I also think it would be a good thing for him to experience the world, in the current situation, it seems that his desire for revenge will not be completed in a few years. This amount of time is not much to us, but for him, it seems to be a bit more than worth the loss. ”

Listening to Tony's words, Killing God Wolf pondered for a while, and then said lightly: "Alas, I haven't thought about what you're worried about. Originally, I thought that because of the hatred between the little girl named Alice and the king of the Tianlan Empire, Xiao Lao'er, he would definitely do everything possible to seek revenge. And in my expectation, with his character, if he wants revenge, he will definitely not think of borrowing the hands of others, he will inevitably devote himself to cultivation, and when he reaches the sevenfold peak or the sage realm, he will go back to find that little old man to take revenge. Who would have thought that the bastard dean of the Lily of the Valley Academy would give him such a bad idea, and as a result, Li Yi is now focused on developing worldly forces. ”

When the killing god was talking, there was a little old man on the left, and another bastard. In his eyes, King Tianlan, who seemed to have become a saint-level powerhouse, and the dean of the Lily of the Valley Academy, who had reached the sevenfold peak, were nothing more than dragon-like existences. What's even funnier is that after old Tony listened to the words of the killing god, he also nodded thoughtfully in agreement.

If there was an outsider here listening to the conversation between the two old men, that person would have thought that it must be two old madmen standing in front of him. In fact, these two old guys are indeed crazy beings, because what they have to do is crazier than anyone else in the world does. It's just that it seems that many of the conditions are not ripe now, so the two of them can only follow Li Yi every day boringly.

"If you want me to say, Li Yi is a fool, can't he figure it out, in the face of absolute strength, what is the power in the world. Alas, otherwise, I would have taken action to solve the king of Tianlan Kingdom, and Li Yi of the province would have to think about how to take revenge every day. Revenge, hum, what a ridiculous thing. After a moment of silence, old Tony suddenly spoke.
