Vol 2 Chapter 361:

What's more, now Xicheng has become a gathering place for cultivators in the human world. The cultivators in Xicheng are often in groups of three or five, or even form a team of tens of hundreds of people, and go out of the city to find a stranger. Cultivators fight. After this situation continued for a long time, the practitioners of the other world gradually understood that the practitioners of the human world have formed their own alliance. In order to fight against the alliance of the cultivators in the creek, the practitioners of the other world The authors are only now slowly joining hands.
In fact, after this situation in Xicheng continued for some time, Elena was also very happy. Although I don’t know why these cultivators of the human world are all gathered in Xicheng, but the cultivators here, not only no one wants to her power, but they all respect the laws and systems in Xicheng more.
Seeing this, Elena also had an idea that she wanted to recruit these mortal practitioners. But when I thought about it, Elena didn't know what to use to recruit them. Elena had all the cultivators. Basically, Elena didn't think that those cultivators were really loyal to her. necessary.
But after having this idea, Elena still had little determination in the end and sent Mel out to execute it once. But the final result really did not meet Elena's expectations. The cultivators in Xicheng basically have their own power behind them. They came to Xicheng just to exercise themselves. Regarding Elena's solicitation, not only did they not have the slightest enthusiasm, but they felt that the current Sai Empire still has the qualification to solicit them. If it were not for the elders in the family to tell them before they came out that they should not commit evil with the current leaders of the Sai Empire, then these cultivators would not even give Mel a good look.
However, even this result has completely made Elena stubborn. After seeing that in her current era, her strength is getting less and less of a voice, Elena actually understands gradually, for thousands of years. The age of imperial supremacy on the continent of the Holy Yuan has passed. The present age is already the time of these practitioners.
In fact, it can be said that this is the time of a cultivator from a long time ago, but because most of these cultivators were in the state of cultivating in the hidden world. Although the Shengyuan Continent is large, they did not want to occupy a territory. In this way, people have always thought that having the army and owning the territory is the most powerful performance. But now people know that they are wrong, and only by having real strength can this be regarded as a strong man. Armies and territories, as long as those practitioners want, they can definitely have them instantly.
Faced with this situation, Elena also went to Li Yi. Elena just hoped that Li Yi could help her to take back the lost territory of the Sai Empire, but in the face of Elena's request, Li Yi's last patience with her finally disappeared. Before Li Yi had always believed that Elena was a stubborn woman, and seeing the glory of her motherland extinguished in her own hands was naturally extremely frustrating and painful. So it is understandable that she wants to restore her country.
But as Elena made such requests more and more, Li Yi's patience began to decrease. Li Yi can understand Elena’s desire to return to her country, but Elena cannot understand Li Yi’s current pains. If Li Yi is not injured, then the alien cultivator in the territory of the original Sai Empire is now more powerful, and Li Yi will not have any refusal to help Elena take a shot.
It can be realized that Li Yi itself is in a state of serious injury. After several years of rehabilitation, Li Yi not only did not relieve the injury, but also ended up in the wrong direction, which led to a worse physical condition. Moreover, even if Li Yi was not seriously injured, it is a very challenging thing for Li Yi to fight against those outsiders.
It is very dangerous to fight when you are at the peak, not to mention Li Yi's serious injury. So in the face of Elena’s repeated requests, Li Yi finally finally said impatiently to Elena: "I promised before that your sister would protect your safety and protect the integrity of your Say Empire. But I As I said before, it’s all built on the scope of my ability. Now I’m telling you clearly that I have injuries and the injuries are very serious. If I forcibly start with a practitioner of the same level, it is very likely I’m in a state of nowhere. I’m not a saint. I’m really hard to do this. If it’s you, I’ll protect you even if I work hard, but if it’s just to help you those shit. Sorry for the site, I can’t do it."
After finishing such remarks so violently with Elena that time, Li Yi turned around and left. It was because of these words that Elena was completely awakened. All along, Elena thinks Li Yi is an invincible guy. And as long as Li Yi is present, then the Sai Empire will be able to regain its former glory. More than ten years ago, Li Yi personally did this.
But now, when he saw that Li Yi was very serious and even said such words to himself very angry, Elena was really shocked and sober. Li Yi, who is so powerful in her eyes, actually has a lot of things he can't deal with. Moreover, Li Yi’s injury seems to be really serious, otherwise, it is impossible to have been raised for so many years, and it has not improved.
In the end, Elena also clearly realized that although Li Yi is upright, she is very worthy of dependence. But after all, Li Yi has no relationship with himself, perhaps because he promised his sister to protect his integrity. So for this reason, Li Yi will definitely help when he is in danger. However, if Li Yi is risking his life to help himself go out to fight for the purpose of grabbing the territory, then Li Yi will not do such a thing.
And when Elena figured it out, Elena suddenly realized that she seemed a bit selfish. Always thinking about restoring the country, always thinking about restoring the glory of the Sai Empire. But he forgot that he couldn't do this by himself, only relying on Li Yi, and Li Yi actually didn't owe himself anything. He helped himself completely out of friendship with his sister. So now Li Yi refuses to take the shot in order to grab the site, but it is quite reasonable. On the contrary, if you ask yourself again and again, you are really a little too impersonal.
In the days that followed, Elena never asked Li Yi to talk about such things again, and Li Yi was finally able to live a quiet life in Xicheng. It is because of this that Li Yi can safely leave Xicheng when he is ready to give up this kind of life.
Because Li Yi knows that although Elena is stubborn, after so many years of observation, she should have seen it, and the human world has already changed. Not only her Say empire, but also the previously indestructible Skyland Empire, and the always ambitious Atlanta Empire, after the practitioners of other worlds entered the human world, they have already collapsed. . With such examples around, Elena can no longer stubbornly believe that she can do better than the other two empires.
You know, even in this case, Elena is at least a little better than the monarchs of the other two empires. That is, although it was also after the split of the empire that there was only one projectile land, but the west city in Elena's hands is now the most significant place on the continent of Holy Yuan. In contrast, the imperial capitals of the other two empires were now very deserted. Even the Celestial Empire was like the Sai Empire, and the former emperors had already become a city where alien cultivators gathered.
This alone should make Elena feel relieved. At least under the protection of such a large number of cultivators, even those strong outsiders want to invade here, they must think carefully before thinking. Among Xicheng, there are a large number of cultivators, and there are also many real strong ones among them. Because of this, in fact, Li Yi now feels that Xicheng should be the most inviolable place on the entire Shengyuan continent. Whether it is a cultivator from another world or a cultivator from the human world, when facing Xicheng, if you want to come here to do bad things, you really have to think about it before.
Although the prosperity of Xicheng was only in the first few years, it was during these few years that Elena seized the opportunity and tried her best to make Xicheng more prosperous.
That is, in fact, when the practitioners in the human world just started to gather in Xicheng, Elena wanted to be recruited. Although it failed afterwards, Elena realized at that time that although these cultivators of the human world did not want to join Xicheng, they seemed to be able to contribute to the safety of Xicheng. From this point alone, it is enough to make Elena very happy.
After seeing this situation, in order to allow more cultivators in Xicheng, Elena even in such a chaotic world, ordered the city walls of Xicheng to be pushed to it, and then continued to expand the scale of the city. However, from the beginning to the end, Elena didn't give Xicheng a wall.
At the beginning, the cultivators in Xicheng had already realized this situation. After discovering this situation, they also felt that this leader in Xicheng was really a very interesting guy. Because they can think clearly, the reason why he dare not repair the city wall of Xicheng, the first is to enable the continuous expansion of Xicheng, because as a large number of practitioners of the human world gather in Xicheng, then in the future Xicheng No matter how large the scale is, no one can say clearly now. The second reason is that the number of cultivators in Xicheng, both in terms of quantity and strength, can be said to be one of the best in the human world.
Among the strong men in Xicheng, there are even guys who can compete with the strong men from other realms. They came here just to keep the juniors in the family safe. After all, in Xicheng, there are still many children of the hidden family. They came to Xicheng and said that they were for cultivation. In fact, it was nothing more than the wishes of the old guys. In this way, Li Yi was given time to fight for healing. .
Seriously, at the very beginning, even those strong people in the Guiyuan realm of the human realm hadn't thought of it, because one of their orders could make Xicheng look like this. But after seeing the situation in Xicheng, they were also very happy. After all, at this time, a center is needed in the human world. Although Xicheng is located in a remote place, as long as there are cultivators who can continue to arrive here, then this can be regarded as the center.
And because of the continuous expansion of Xicheng, these cultivators who come here have a place to live. Even with the benefit of Elena, after the expansion, Xicheng vacated many famous mountains and reserved them for those who wanted to start a sect in Xicheng without any fees.
In this way, in the Xicheng, the sect also appeared like a mushroom, and among them, the most famous one is naturally the sect established by the children who came out of the hidden family. Although these guys are also cultivators in the hidden world family, they are not subject to anyone. In this way, they established a sect gate in the river city, and they are all in a hostile state. Fortunately, they all know how to score points and know that infighting cannot happen at this time. So the battle between them just happened to the disciples.
Seeing that Xicheng is so prosperous, those old monsters in the human world are also very pleased. After all, at this time, being able to have Xicheng as a stronghold, let the repairers in the world gradually build up confidence. Such a thing is also very happy. In order to make Xicheng develop faster, in fact, when Xicheng expanded, these hidden families also secretly contributed a lot.
That is because of the efforts of many parties, Xicheng was able to expand from the scale of a city to the size of a province in just three years. That is to say, in Elena's hands, although there is only one territory of a city, what this city includes is the area of ​​all the cities in the province of China and Pakistan that she previously mastered. In this way, in fact, the current Xicheng is completely an existence comparable to that of King Seine. Although Xicheng is not as magnificent as the walls of King Seine, the number of cultivators in Xicheng is even more awesome than the walls of King Seine.
In this case, Elena basically accepted her fate. Because of these cultivators, she was able to turn Xicheng into what she is now. She knows that as long as these cultivators can really help her, she can a lot of land even if she doesn’t need an army.
However, it is clear that these practitioners are not willing to participate in earthly wars, nor are they willing to be used as tools of war by others. So Elena knew that it was basically impossible for her to recruit these people. Of course, these cultivators also expressed their thoughts to Elena by action.
However, in contrast to those sites that you want to back, all of them are seated by powerful people from other circles. Although the territory of the Sai Empire was torn apart, the territory was occupied by many outsiders. However, none of the alien cultivators announced the establishment of power in the occupied territory of the Sai Empire, which proves that these alien cultivators do not value the regime at all. What they want is just a place to live.
But even so, Elena can understand that if you really dare to use troops now, even though those outsiders in the city have not announced that they will establish a government there, it does not mean that they will not resist. . And as long as they take action, it is a battle between cultivators. No matter how many troops Elena has in her hands, in front of these outsiders, it is useless. Because she wanted to fight the practitioners with a mortal army, Elena gradually learned the inoperability of this matter.
