Hearing Ye Li's words, Evans nodded in appreciation and said, "Yes, you did the right thing. If you take out this scroll in front of other people, it will be tantamount to pushing my Yaxi family and the Farant Empire to the forefront.
Once other forces know that we have the Soul Gathering Cannon, they will definitely come to seize it at all costs.
The people of the Jinde Empire will never allow us to gain the same power as them, and will definitely try to obstruct and sabotage us. Our situation here will become very dangerous.
Now it's much easier. We just need to take this scroll back and give it to His Majesty the King.
After that, we can secretly manufacture the Soul Gathering Cannon, then our strength will grow rapidly within a few years, and no one will know about it.
The Jinde Empire has been making a lot of moves recently, but once we make enough Soul Gathering Cannons, we won’t have to be afraid of them. Everyone has this kind of powerful weapon, and the gap between us and them will only get smaller and smaller.”
Hearing his words, all the remaining members of the Yaxi family showed excitement on their faces. A surviving member, holding the body of his companion next to him, choked and said, "Pike, did you hear that? Your sacrifice was not in vain. This time, it is my Yaxi family that has obtained the Soul Gathering Cannon. Our family's status in the empire will rise to a higher level and surpass the other two families.
Moreover, the strength of our Farant Empire will become even stronger, the Ikasi Empire will soon be left behind by us, and the Jinde Empire will not be able to remain arrogant for much longer."
After hearing his words, everyone looked at the corpses around them. Although they still felt sad in their hearts, this sadness had been diluted a lot by the joy of obtaining the Soul Gathering Cannon.
After Evans solemnly put away the scroll that Ye Li gave him, he said to everyone with a serious face: "Everyone, you must strictly keep the matter regarding this scroll a secret, and no one is allowed to leak it without authorization.
This matter not only concerns the interests of our Yaxi family, but also the interests of the Farant Empire. Whether our future can prosper depends to a large extent on this scroll.
Anyone who leaks even a word will become the public enemy of my Yaxi family and even the entire Farant Empire, so you better keep your mouth shut!"
When Evans said the last sentence, his powerful aura pressed towards the people in the Yuantai period and Wesley.
Except for Ye Li, all of them sat down on the ground, looked at Evans with fear on their faces and nodded in agreement.
Although Ye Li also felt the strong oppressive force, his soul power became extremely powerful and he did not fall down like the others, but was able to stand steadily under the pressure.
Evans looked at Ye Li with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He did not mean to blame Ye Li for being able to withstand his pressure. He also believed that Ye Li would definitely not tell anyone about this matter.
After all, the scroll was found by Ye Li. If Ye Li really had any ulterior motives, he would never hand over the scroll. He could use this scroll to exchange for titles and fiefdoms in any empire.
But now, as a guest official, Ye Li took the initiative to hand over the casting drawings of the Spirit Gathering Cannon, which is already a very commendable attitude.
"Ye Li, your realm clearly hasn't increased, so why do you feel like your strength has increased a lot?"
Evans looked at Ye Li carefully and said puzzledly.
Ye Li touched his head and said, "It may be because the injury to my sea of consciousness has healed, and the power of consciousness has returned to its previous state, so my strength has shown a certain improvement."
After hearing Ye Li's words, Evans nodded doubtfully. He always felt that he couldn't understand the young man in front of him.
After warning everyone, Evans said, "Okay, get ready. We are going to continue on our journey and try to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible and meet up with the others."
The people sitting on the ground quickly stood up, lifted up the bodies of their companions, and then sped up again, running in the direction of leaving the evil spirit zone.
Wesley quietly walked to Ye Li and said, "Ye Li, isn't your previous strength your true strength?"
He had seen how powerful Ye Li was. He originally thought that Ye Li was just a martial arts master and had not awakened his natal talisman.
However, it is only now known that Ye Li is actually a spiritual master, and he was not in the complete state before.
Ye Li looked at Wesley and nodded with a smile, saying: "I was injured before, so my strength was affected. I have only recovered now."
When Wesley heard Ye Li's answer, he couldn't help swallowing and said, "Then you are really an extraordinary guy. With your current strength, I estimate that you can fight against a divine master in the late Yuantai period." Ye Li did not answer this question directly, but just smiled casually.
They returned very quickly, and because there was no fighting, it took the group less than two days to leave the evil spirit land.
Their team camped at the edge of the Evil Spirit Wasteland. Xiao Jin felt Ye Li's arrival at the first moment, and ran over, rushing to Ye Li and rubbing his big head against him affectionately.
When Ye Li saw his big wolf, he couldn't help but laugh. He reached out his hand, embraced the little golden furry head and patted it affectionately.
His physical strength is now one level stronger than Xiao Jin's. When Ye Li held Xiao Jin in his arms, he suddenly felt unable to move.
After having an intimate exchange with his monster companion, Ye Li followed the team into the camp.
It was evening at this time, and Evans asked everyone to rest in the camp for a night and leave on horseback early the next morning.
After everyone put down the bodies of their companions, servants would naturally come to deal with them. They would tie all the bodies onto their horses' backs and would rush back to the imperial capital with them the next day.
For these corpses, because they have all reached the Yuantai period, their bodies have reverted back to their original purity, so they are not easy to decay.
The servants sprinkled a special medicine on the corpse, which could prevent it from decaying for a longer period of time, so it was enough time for them to bring the corpse back to the imperial capital.
The next morning, the servants cleaned up the camp, then they led out the horses and rode them, and then quickly headed towards the imperial capital.
Evans was holding back a surge of excitement in his heart. The Spirit Gathering Cannon blueprint that Ye Li got was simply too exciting.
If the loss of the family members had not been so great this time, Evans would have wanted to sing a song loudly.
