As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

While Protector Li and the others were still in a daze, a series of clanging sounds came from the Helian Xia army camp. Powerful auras surged out, and soon, thousands of elite Helian Xia soldiers emerged.

"This…"

At this moment, Protector Li and the others could not help but gasp. They instinctively took a few steps back. However, they were quickly blocked by a large number of Helian Xia soldiers.

In an instant, the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land's retreat was blocked, and they could only stare at the Helian Xia soldiers.

Protector Li instinctively took a step forward and lowered his head. He crossed his arms and said, "We are just ordinary cultivators passing by. I hope that you can let us off…"

"Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"

A general bellowed, causing Protector Li's expression to change. Although the other party was only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, Protector Li still felt immense pressure.

At this moment, another thousand soldiers walked up, their faces extremely cold.

"Ordinary cultivators? Judging from your size, you should be a holy land from the Northern Yan Dynasty! Since you are from the Northern Yan Dynasty, you should stay here. You can either die here or kneel down and beg for mercy and serve us. There is no other choice!"

This was the style of the Helian Xia army. They were famous for being domineering.

Protector Li's face turned ashen.

"Although we're just passing by and don't want to have a conflict with you, we hope that you won't go too far!"

A moment later, Protector Li's aura spread out. Shockingly, he was a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. Any ordinary cultivator at the peak Nascent Soul Realm would have feared him. However, the general was no ordinary cultivator. He was an elite general of the Helian Xia army, and he led a thousand troops!

In the Helian Xia army, although there were generals and captains who were both in charge of leading troops that had thousands of soldiers, they were fundamentally different. A general was a true-blue officer of the military, while a captain was more like a handyman without an official establishment. The strength and status between the two sides were worlds apart.

Most importantly, almost every one of the thousand soldiers under the command of the general was an elite cultivator. There were even some Nascent Soul Realm experts on the team!

"Get into formation!"

Soon, thousands of elite soldiers got into formation, forming a powerful battle formation that no one could look at without trembling.

At this moment, Protector Li's expression darkened. He had never expected these Helian Xia soldiers to be so ruthless and decisive. They seemed to be ready to attack!

The Helian Xia army's soldiers glanced at the other party mockingly and said indifferently, "Is the Soul Formation Realm that amazing? If you're able to, come and test our power. How about it?"

When these thousands of elite soldiers were in formation, the lethality they possessed would be unimaginable to ordinary people. Ordinary Soul Formation Realm cultivators would have to retreat in front of them.

"Aaaaaaah!"

Protector Li roared in his heart. Just as he was about to continue, another powerful force swept out and quickly condensed into a gust of wind.

After the gust of wind blew out, Protector Li's heart suddenly trembled, and his rising morale came to a halt.

"They're so strong!"

He did not dare to continue fighting back against them. He could only grit his teeth and choose to temporarily retreat. Otherwise, if he continued to fight with these soldiers, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The general sneered and waved his hand, "Bring him back…"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Protector Li roared, causing the general to be extremely displeased. The latter's blade was so sharp that it seemed like it could chop off Protector Li's head in the next moment.

"Sir, I know that there are quite a number of forces nearby that are assisting the Northern Yan army in the battle. For example, there is a sect called the Flowerfruit Sect. I believe that you will need to capture and encircle these people so that the Helian Xia army can better penetrate the enemy camp and defeat the Northern Yan army, isn't that right?"

Protector Li smiled, causing the general to be stunned.

"Oh?"

He revealed a curious expression and immediately waved his hand to signal for the soldiers to retreat. He asked, "Do you have a grudge against the Flowerfruit Sect?"

"Yes! However, the main reason was that they had helped Northern Yan greatly. I think you are also aware that the immortal cultivation and the imperial court are not on good terms. However, the Flowerfruit Sect is a loyal dog of the Northern Yan imperial court. If we can take them down, it will greatly benefit us!"

Protector Li's loyalty and concern for the Helian Xia Dynasty made the corners of the Helian Xia general's mouth curl up slightly.

"Alright, lead the way now. As long as we can take them down, I will naturally credit you."

"I don't deserve such merit! Being able to serve you is an honor; I don't want to ask for merit."

Protector Li smiled as he turned them down. However, he was roaring in his heart. What kind of trash did they think he was?

If it was not for the sake of survival, who would be willing to mingle with these ghosts?

Soon, the group continued forward and arrived at their destination.

Jiang Ming looked at Protector Li with a murderous glint in his eyes.

"You guys are really irritating. In order to eliminate us, you actually got involved with these ghosts? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

Jiang Ming snorted coldly. However, Protector Li smiled nonchalantly and said, "As long as I can get rid of you, I'll use any method… Ning Caichen, you're too mysterious. If I can kill you and examine your body, I'm sure my cultivation will soar!"

He was not an idiot. To be able to let an individual cultivator like Wu Ming advance to the Soul Formation Realm and increase Zhai Tianfeng's array skills by several levels was enough to prove that Jiang Ming had a huge secret. There was only one way to deal with such a person…

"As long as I can become stronger, my status in the sect will definitely rise. At that time, even if I kill you, the Flowerfruit Mountain will not make things difficult for me because I have the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land behind me! In this world, there are countless geniuses who have died young. However, there are very few who have reached a very high level of strength. Once I reach the Deity Transformation Realm, what level do you think my status in the sect will reach?"

When Jiang Ming heard this, he could not help but narrow his eyes slightly.

In the top sects here, Soul Formation cultivators were the cream of the crop. However, in the holy lands, they were only average. However, once Protector Li reached the Deity Transformation Realm, his status would change drastically.

After all, Deity Transformation Realm cultivators were extremely rare. It was very likely that they would become grand elders or even the core elders of the sect.
