I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 74 - 30: One Man Against a Nation

To be honest, Li Boyang never expected Xiluo to eventually seek help from that big black dog inside the Ghost God Cliff cave.

Because he had only used the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor for divination.

Xiluo had the ability to influence the weather of hundreds of kilometers for a long time after the Array Altar was destroyed.

Even though this differed from Xiluo’s usual stereotype of being an "illiterate" and "unreliable Mountain God."

Li Boyang only thought the Huai River Witch had left Xiluo some magical treasure and didn’t think further.

It’s no exaggeration to say, equivalent to Xiluo’s stereotype, was her "Doraemon" trait of pulling out a variety of wondrous tools every now and then.

The most crucial point is, according to the divination of the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, it seemed this matter held great benefits for Xiluo.

"Have you really made up your mind?"

Shortly after the village meeting in the Ancestral Temple concluded, a pigeon landed on the wall of Li Boyang’s courtyard.

This pigeon was none other than the transformed Er Tu.

"Yes, I am ready."

Er Tu’s voice came from the pigeon, and his gaze focused on Li Boyang in the courtyard.

At that moment, Li Boyang was continuously tossing the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor.

Meanwhile, Li Jingshu was bustling in and out, her face adorned with a radiant smile.

Currently, there were only Li Boyang and Li Jingshu at home, so Er Tu did not bother to hide anything in their conversation.

"Whether she is a Granny or Nvman doesn’t change my attitude toward her." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"If it was your mother’s soul that was taken, even if there were a one in ten thousand chance, you wouldn’t stand by and do nothing, right?"

For some reason, while saying these words, Er Tu’s demeanor and tone seemed slightly tense.

"To snatch back the Divine Soul of Nvman from the Heaven-Howling Clan is far more troublesome than simply collecting Granny’s corpse."

He rubbed his temple with a hint of frustration.

The old-man-young-boy demeanor of Li Boyang made it hard not to chuckle.

At least, Li Jingshu unabashedly displayed her curiosity, her gaze flitting between Li Boyang and Er Tu.

If not for the unfinished tasks at hand, Er Tu had no doubt that she would have brought out a small stool to sit and watch the spectacle intently.

"As you said, it’s called taking the initiative."

Fortunately, Er Tu had already prepared for Li Boyang’s rejection, so he immediately presented his reasoning.

"The people of Guifang Kingdom are known to hold grudges. They suffered a big loss in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and they’ll surely continue to send troops here to capture the runaway slaves."

"I believe this won’t take long; after the autumn harvest in August or September, they should take corresponding actions."

"Instead of waiting passively for Guifang Kingdom and the Five Directions Gods to strike, it would be better to catch them off guard."

"If we can snatch enough grain from them, we might also settle those outsiders in the process."

Listening to this string of explanations, Li Boyang couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"And then, in the process, snatch back Nvman’s Divine Soul, right?"

Before Er Tu had the chance to refute or argue, Li Boyang immediately added.

"Relax, I never intended to reject your proposal, don’t be so tense."

If it were his previous life, Li Boyang would never have considered such an idea of "a man against a nation."

Taking the opportunity before Guifang Kingdom’s forces arrived to relocate and flee with the people of Li Family Village was the most sensible course of action.

Even if it meant a migration with heavy casualties, it was far better than being captured as "human sacrifice" by Guifang Kingdom.

However, in this world and era, those who hold Extraordinary Power always have certain privileges.

"I just want to know, do you know where Nvman’s Divine Soul is?

"Do you understand the location and specifics of the Guifang Kingdom’s capital?"

"Do you have the confidence to escape the storm raised by the Heaven-Howling Clan?"

"If the Five Directions Gods truly invade massively, have you considered how to repel Them?"

Pausing slightly, Li Boyang raised his head to look at the pigeon on the courtyard wall and continued.

"Everyone knows about striking first."

"The key is how to handle the subsequent chain reactions after you act, which truly tests one’s wisdom and ability."

"Courage without wisdom is merely recklessness."

Blinking, Er Tu had to admit his thought process was indeed too simplistic.

"That’s why I came to you for help."

"You are smart, under the Mountain God’s grandmother’s protection, undoubtedly more thorough in consideration than I, a small Spirit Monster."

Rolling his eyes, Li Boyang was no longer the clueless newborn from three years ago, and it was impossible for him to truly believe Er Tu’s nonsense.

Er Tu’s strength might not be top-tier.

But anyone who considered him an ordinary Spirit Monster was simply being ridiculously naive.

Not to mention, the fact that he suggested stealing grain from Guifang Kingdom shows he at least knows where those grains are stored.

"I am not smart; I am just a bit more cautious than you guys."

A hint of barely perceptible excitement flickered in his eyes, leaving Li Boyang somewhat inexplicably anticipating the upcoming events.

The true protagonists of this world... the Gods who dominated this era—Li Boyang was truly curious about the limits of Their power.

...........................

[The little brother is excited again...]

Witnessing the entire exchange between Li Boyang and Er Tu, Li Jingshu silently muttered to herself.

Li Jingshu was very familiar with Li Boyang in this state, that blend of curiosity and desire for exploration kindling excitement in him.

Every time Li Boyang tried to explore some new project, he would exhibit this special state.

Species improvement, breed cultivation, artifact forging, various cultivation methods, and even those Array Altars and rituals that Li Jingshu couldn’t understand were all developed by Li Boyang in this state.

Xiluo once commented that even though Li Boyang insisted he was cautious, in reality, his daring exceeded all bounds, daring to dissect the essence of Gods and even the world’s mechanisms.

Of course, Li Jingshu, equally daring, didn’t care about these things.

After all, being constantly influenced by Li Boyang, Li Jingshu was oblivious to what her little brother’s research signified for this world.

The only thing Li Jingshu knew was that whenever Li Boyang entered this state, he would always create some oddities or events.

[As long as I’m not used as a test subject...]

Tilting her head slightly, a thought flashed through Li Jingshu’s mind.

Thinking about the various training plans tailored by Li Boyang for her, Li Jingshu felt a mix of pain and joy.

[Wonder how many rounds of torment Er Tu can withstand from my little brother?]
