Ye Li stayed in his residence for three days. After the people of the Tianhuo clan were summoned to the main hall, they left Tang Kingdom and returned to Tianhuo Plain.
Li Rushan has sent a team of masters from the Hidden Killing Team to provide support to the Tianhuo Clan.
They will launch a total attack soon to annihilate the Red Fire Clan.
Ye Li was too lazy to take care of other trivial matters, so he stayed in the house to practice.
Three days had passed since Li Rushan finished dealing with the affairs around him. He had not yet held the coronation ceremony, so he was still just acting as the emperor.
Three days later, Li Rushan found Ye Li. He arranged for Ye Li to return to their previous residence to rest.
Then he found Ye Li alone and said, "Ye Li, I will hold the coronation ceremony in two days, after which I will be able to truly control the imperial power.
When the time comes, I will also reward everyone who helped me seize the throne this time, including you, and you must accept my gratitude."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li glanced at Li Rushan. The two had a close relationship, so there was no need for them to be overly polite when speaking.
Ye Li said: "What do you want to reward me with? Don't mention an official position. I have no interest in that kind of thing."
Li Rushan smiled upon hearing this and said, "I know you are not interested in being an official, but I still want to give you a title, which is the peerless national scholar.
Without your help, I wouldn't have the throne, and I wouldn't even be alive today.
Because of your life-saving help, I was able to regain the throne. You have made a great contribution.
With such great achievements, it is reasonable for you to be called a peerless national hero."
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li touched his head and said, "I originally wanted to get this title of National Scholar so that I could enter the library to look for information about the World Soul Essence Gold. Now that the World Soul Essence Gold has been found, there is no point for me to have this title!"
Li Rushan said: "How can it be meaningless? People who hold the title of peerless patriot are basically like having a get-out-of-jail-free card. No matter how serious the crime you have committed, as long as it is not regicide or treason, you will never be executed.
Of course, I know this one won’t attract you, and you will leave sooner or later.
However, after being named a peerless national hero, according to custom, I will also give you a fiefdom as your own territory.
After you own the fief, this area is completely your own private land, except for paying some taxes to the court every year. You have absolute power in the fief and can decide everything in the fief."
Ye Li was not moved at all when he heard this, and said: "But how can this help me? You know I have no interest in governance, I only know how to practice and fight.
What I want to do now is to find the soul seal. This is also what we agreed before, and you have to help me with it."
Hearing this, Li Rushan smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't panic, listen to me, do you know where the Wood Soul Seal is?"
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and said, "It is in Shushan, due east of Tang State."
Li Rushan nodded and said, "It will take several months before the opening of the Soul Seal Land in Shushan, and the area closest to Shushan is a county on the easternmost edge of our Tang State called Dongfang County.
It only takes one day to get to Shushan from Dongfang County, so it is closely adjacent to the city. It will be very convenient if you wait in Dongfang County for Shushan to open.
When the time comes, I will send a team of hidden assassins to you and ask them to take you to the Tree Mountain, protect you and help you obtain the Wood Soul Seal.
And, I also hope to give you a task..."
Hearing Li Rushan's last words, Ye Li touched his nose helplessly and said, "What mission?"
Li Rushan was silent for a while, then said, “I hope to build a legion specifically to deal with Dahuntian.
I know we can't use it now, but we must prepare it immediately. After all, training soldiers is not an easy task."
Ye Li asked: "What does this have to do with me?"
Li Rushan said: "I hope you can help me train them secretly, the location is in your fiefdom."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this and said, "No, I don't have time to do these things!"
Li Rushan said: "If you want to wait for all the soul seal places to open, it will take at least more than a year. During this period of more than a year, you will have to stay on the Nine Soul Continent.
Anyway, I have nothing to do. Besides practicing, you can also help me train some troops that can fight against Dahuntian.
Everything about this unit can be built according to your requirements. I know you are the one who knows Dahuntian best. The unit you create is definitely the most suitable for fighting against it."
When Ye Li heard Li Rushan's words, his heart was moved.
It was just as Li Rushan said, he needed to stay on the Nine Souls Continent for a long time, and there was nothing he could do about it.
If we can really train a force here that can compete with the Dahuntian organization, it seems to be a very good choice.
After all, the forces of Dahuntian have already landed on the Jiuhun Continent, and he doesn’t know the details of the previous group of men in black.
Now that Li Ruhai is dead, Ye Li doesn't know whether Li Rushan can track down the other party's hiding place. If he can track down the other party, he can send troops to encircle and wipe out the other party.
If the other party's whereabouts cannot be tracked down, then the people from the Dahuntian organization will definitely stir up trouble on this continent again.
Besides, the Dahuntian organization is not like Ye Li now, who is just a lone man. The other party can send some manpower to the Black Eye Continent for help, and then bring some people over to strengthen themselves.
As long as it can find a larger force to rely on and then gradually control the other party, the Dahuntian organization will be able to occupy a place on this continent.
By then, whether it is competing for the soul seal or cultivating their own strength, they will be faster than Ye Li.
If the people of the Great Soul Heaven Organization find a large amount of Realm Soul Essence Gold, then Ye Li's mission on the Nine Soul Continent will lag behind that of the people of the Great Soul Heaven Organization.
After Ye Li pondered for a while, he said: "Brother Rushan, I can accept your arrangement and go to Dongfang County to train troops.
But you have to give me the greatest power. Once we get there, I will have the final say on everything concerning the troops, and I also want your support in terms of material rights.
The most important point is that I need a large number of trustworthy craftsmen."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Li Rushan was stunned and asked, "Weaponsmith, what do you want them to do?"
Ye Li said: “I am a weaponsmith myself, and I hope to make some tools that can compete with the power of the Great Soul Heaven.
In this regard, I need you to provide me with a large number of toolsmiths to help me manufacture the tools, and of course, learn how to manufacture them.
The Great Soul Heaven forces also have some knowledge of the manufacturing technology of these things, so if you don’t prepare some, you will suffer a great loss when the time comes.”
