In the city of Tangjing, deep inside a mansion, several old men were gathered together, looking somewhat serious.
"What is Li Rushan doing recently? Why is he suddenly interested in our Mengshan Club? "
An old man spoke first.
A person nearby looked at him and said, "He is not interested in our Mengshan Society, but in the Tianxia Alliance.
I don't know where he heard the news about the Tianxia Alliance, but he thinks there's something fishy about the background of the Mengshan Society. He's been investigating us strictly recently and seems to be planning to expel all members of the Mengshan Society from the court.
If we continue to let things go on like this, all our previous plans will be ruined.”
Another person said with hatred on his face, "I really don't understand why he would do this all of a sudden. Could it be that one of our people accidentally leaked the information?"
"It shouldn't be possible. If someone leaks the information, Li Rushan's actions will only be bigger than what they are now."
The man who just spoke started to speak.
"It's useless to talk about this now. Let's talk about the plan. What are the current countermeasures?"
The first person who asked the question said.
The people around looked at each other, and an old man who had been silent said, "The Xuanwu Army has already agreed to start the power grab.
On the Zhenzhong Army side, two legions have been instigated to rebel, and they can be considered ours.
Among the several major lords, three lords stand on our side, and some city defenders have joined us and become our people.
The power in our hands, as long as we use it suddenly enough, should be able to bring Li Rushan down in one fell swoop.
With the alliance leader taking action, that old guy Tian Kui won't be able to hinder us. In short, the Tang Kingdom must be ours."
Hearing his words, everyone nodded, and the man who asked the question first said: "Then judging from the current situation, we must act sooner rather than later and cannot wait any longer.
If we continue to wait, God knows what will happen!"
The old man who just spoke said: "If we act now, we haven't done some preparations yet. It would be embarrassing if we can't kill Li Rushan."
The man who first asked the question said: "With our current strength, if we launch a surprise attack, even if we can't kill Li Rushan, we can at least drive him off the throne and make him flee.
As long as he loses his position, everything will be easy. Our people are spread all over the place, so it will be very easy to hunt him down.
And as long as the person we support can come to power and become emperor, all problems can be solved.
After conquering the Tang Dynasty, we will conquer the Yuan Dynasty. With two of the three major countries gone, the remaining countries will not be able to hold out for much longer and will choose to submit to us sooner or later.
By then, the entire continent will belong to our Tianxia Alliance, and the Alliance Leader’s hard work over the years will be justified.”
Hearing his words, all the old men became excited and began to smile.
"Anyway, you guys should hurry up and do this. When we launch the attack, we must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and defeat Li Rushan in one go!!!"
The old man who spoke first spoke again with a determined look.
… … … … … … …
Ye Li drifted on the water for nine days and finally arrived at Pingqiu City near Leiji Ridge.
After landing at the dock at the edge of the city, the four found horses and started to travel by land, galloping towards Leiji Ridge.
Leiji Ridge is more than two days' journey from Pingqiu City, which is really a bit troublesome.
However, they had arrived at Pingqiu City within the planned time, and Ye Li was very satisfied with it. The next journey was very short, and it was almost impossible for them to miss the opening time of the Thunder Soul Seal Land.
Nearly three days passed, and the group finally arrived at a hilly area covered with black soil. In the distance, a mountain covered with thick clouds came into their sight.
Huo Xing stopped his horse, pointed over there, and said to Ye Li: "My Lord, that is the Thunder Ridge. Our destination is within sight."
Ye Li looked at the black mountain covered with thick clouds and couldn't help but feel curious. He asked, "Is it often struck by lightning, so it's called the Thunder Ridge?"
Huo Xing nodded and said, "That's right, that place is named Thunder Ridge because it is often struck by lightning.
You see, the thundercloud on Leiji Ridge is covering the mountain almost all the time, but no one knows why.
This mountain is struck by lightning hundreds of times every day, and anyone below the Concentration Stage would be in danger, so almost no one goes there on weekdays.
At the end of December every year, the lightning strikes will become particularly fierce, with thousands or tens of thousands of thunders descending on the Thunder Ridge every day, and that is when the land of Thunder Soul Seal will be opened.
In previous years, the place of Thunder Soul Seal was not opened, and the entire mountain would be covered by thunder.
But this year the Thunder Soul Seal Land will be opened, and I think the scene will change a lot in two days."
Hearing what Huo Xing said, Ye Li nodded and said, "I understand, then let's go find a place near Thunder Ridge to rest.
There are still a day or two before the opening of the Thunder Soul Seal Land, so we should wait nearby to avoid missing the time. "
The strength of these four people is relatively strong, and the ones they need to be wary of are Mumutuo and others.
The opponent suffered heavy losses last time. Although they may not send more men to specifically target Ye Li this time, once someone comes to compete for the Thunder Soul Seal, he will ultimately be an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
Huo Xing knew that Ye Li already had six soul seals on his body. In his opinion, Ye Li should really be the savior born in the legend to meet the calamity, and the nine soul seals should all belong to Ye Li.
Since he was sent by Li Rushan to guard Ye Li, this was also the arrangement of fate. Ye Li found his lover for him, and he would definitely do his best to protect Ye Li and help Ye Li obtain the remaining three soul seals.
He personally also wanted to know what would happen if Ye Li could gather all nine soul seals.
The four of them rode their horses quickly to the front of the Thunder Ridge. Ye Li indeed saw bolts of lightning coming out from the clouds from time to time and striking the black mountain fiercely.
Strong thunder spiritual energy gathered, and the power of thunder was very strong. Spiritual warriors below the Void God Stage were absolutely unable to resist it.
At this time, many spiritual warriors had already arrived near the Thunder Ridge, and they all came for the Thunder Soul Seal.
Although every fight for the Soul Seal results in enormous casualties, there are still many people who want to try their luck and see if they are the true owner of the Soul Seal.
People from the White Lotus Kingdom and the Great Yuan Kingdom were present, and this time the White Lotus Kingdom also dispatched two talisman gods.
On the Yuan Dynasty side, only Mumutuo was present this time, and the other masters around him had disappeared.
Mumutuo's expression was somewhat ferocious, his hair was extremely messy, and he looked at Ye Li with eyes full of hatred, and waves of murderous aura surged towards Ye Li.
