Hearing the other party's praise, Ye Li also smiled and said politely: "It was also due to some opportunities that I was able to get to where I am today. Senior Huo, there is no need to praise me too much."
Huo Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was not praising excessively. He now felt that his praise was somewhat insufficient.
But now he finally understood why Ye Li didn't want to take Yin Lie and Zhuo Qing, who were in the Divine Phase Stage, to Shushan together. The strength of the two was indeed a little weak.
Now Dongfang County still needs these two people to be responsible for garrison. If they go to Shushan, if they encounter danger, they will immediately be short of two generals.
"Okay, Lord, I will accompany you tomorrow morning. The others will stay here to guard the house and maintain the development of the territory."
Huo Xing said to Ye Li with a smile.
After the two of them had reached an agreement, Ye Li found Ding Si and asked him to call all the senior executives in Dongfang County.
He told them that he would be away for nearly a month, and then arranged the matters that each of them would be responsible for.
Ye Li handed over the management power of the territory to Ding Si. After all, Ding Si was his most capable assistant. He was cautious and smart, and had a very strong ability to handle things.
Yin Lie and Zhuo Qing were in charge of military affairs, and they had to ensure the security of the territory and resist any possible enemies.
If the territory encounters unsolvable troubles, Ding Si will go to Li Rushan for help. This is where Li Rushan's special army is formed, and Li Rushan will definitely help.
The next morning, Ye Li and Huo Xing rode two fast horses and left Dongfang County, and began to head eastward towards Shushan.
Although they were riding fast horses, they were actually not much faster. They just used them as a means of transportation to save their energy.
At this time, Ye Li missed his previous mount very much. Whether it was the Thunder Unicorn Horse, Xiaojin or Xiaoqing, they were much better than these fast horses.
Especially for Xiaoqing, in this place where she cannot fly by her own strength, if she has a Qingluan mount, the help it brings is really enormous.
The two of them hardly rested along the way. Only when the horses were tired would Ye Li let them rest for a while.
The two of them ran for nearly ten days before they finally arrived near Shushan.
The so-called tree mountain actually does not look much different from ordinary mountains, except that the trees here are so dense and ancient that the entire mountain is completely covered by the tree canopy.
Ye Li and Huo Xing stood at the foot of the tree mountain and looked up at it. They could still vaguely see human figures moving through the forest, but the trees here were too dense, and the human figures that just flashed by would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Senior Huo, have you been here before?"
Ye Li asked casually.
The two of them walked together and became more familiar with each other.
“Of course I have been here. After all, this is the place where the legendary soul seal exists. Even if the soul seal place has not been opened, I will definitely come to take a look.
I still remember when I first came here, I was still an ignorant young man, and I wondered if I would be born different and become the only one to enter the land of the Wood Element Soul Seal.
Haha, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, by the time I could actually enter the Soul Seal Land, I would have become an old man!"
Huo Xing said this with a smile, with some emotion in his words.
Ye Li looked at the tree mountain and said, "Senior Huo, is the location of the Wood Soul Seal on this mountain?"
Huo Xing nodded and said, "Yes, the location of the Wood Soul Seal is on the mountain.
There is nothing special about this mountain, except that the forest is a bit dense.
Rumor has it that when spring comes, the wood energy gathers and a portal will open at the top of the tree mountain. Once you enter it, you will reach the place where the wood soul is imprinted."
After hearing what Huo Qing said, Ye Li nodded and felt a little relieved. After all, climbing a mountain was definitely more comfortable than jumping into the icy Tianchi when he went to the water soul seal site.
After observing casually for a while, the two of them walked into the forest together. Apart from the fact that the wood element spiritual energy was slightly richer, which made it seem a little more vibrant, there was really nothing special about it.
However, Ye Li knew that there would definitely be many masters among the people coming here this time, and Huo Xing would definitely not be the only master in the Fu Shen realm.
The last time the Water Soul Seal Land was opened, many forces suffered losses, so the manpower arranged this time will definitely be very powerful.
There was one good thing by then, that is, many people from small forces had no intention of coming here. After all, the small forces suffered heavy losses last time. The dangers in the Soul Seal Land were not something that some spiritual warriors at the Divine Spirit Stage or Divine Appearance Stage could easily deal with.
Not to mention the concentration stage, basically coming here is a waste of life. The two of them walked through the forest and arrived at the top of the mountain in two hours. A huge forest appeared around them.
Each of these trees is one or two hundred meters high, and it takes more than twenty people to surround them. They are very huge.
The trees formed a complex circle on the top of the mountain, with a small open space in the middle.
Ye Li could feel that in this area, the wood energy rising from the ground mixed with the force of life was gathering on these giant trees. It seemed that this should be the place where the Wood Soul Seal was opened.
At this time, many people from various forces had gathered on the top of the mountain, including those from nearby forces, as well as people from the Great Yuan Kingdom and the White Lotus Kingdom.
Among the crowd of people from the Great Yuan Kingdom, Ye Li saw a group of people in black, who were none other than the Great Soul Heaven force that he had never been able to find.
Yi Wenyuan and Zeng Deshun were accompanying a burly old man with a group of people at this time. They also noticed Ye Li standing next to Huo Xing.
"Ye Li!"
Zeng Deshun looked at Ye Li and couldn't help but yelled with gritted teeth.
Yi Wenyuan also narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Li.
They had previously thought that by relying on Li Ruhai, they could use the help of the Tang State to complete their plans in the Nine Souls Continent.
However, Li Ruhai was killed in the palace less than a month later, and the person who killed him was Ye Li himself.
Such a result made Yi Wenyuan and Zeng Deshun extremely angry as they worked hard but got nothing in return.
Noticing something was wrong with the two people around him, the burly old man from the Yuan Dynasty also looked over, but his brows frowned instantly and his eyes fell on Huo Xing.
"I didn't expect that the person coming from your Tang country this time would be you!"
The burly old man from the Great Yuan Kingdom was walking towards Ye Li and Huo Xing while speaking. He looked at Huo Xing with a gloomy look.
"Mumutuo, are you surprised that I'm here?!"
Huo Xing glanced at the other person, smiled gently and spoke, his tone sounding very relaxed.
