Ye Li, who had originally planned to look for the Heavenly Punisher Tiemu Xin, had to give up this plan temporarily.
After all, there isn't a single expert on the Traveling Merchants' Guild's side, so if they really encounter danger, everyone can only die together.
Ye Li glanced at Li Xifeng and said, "Uncle Li, how many people are there in total? How many of them can fight?"
Li Xifeng touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed, and said: "There are a total of 223 people in this manor, and only 23 combatants above the Lingdan stage.
The rest are fifty ordinary people, and one hundred and fifty combatants below the Spiritual Pill Stage."
Ye Li couldn't help but frown when he heard this. These people's fighting power was too poor.
It seems that the members of the Traveling Merchants Association who are truly loyal to Li Xifeng are probably the first batch of traveling merchants who joined.
These people are the weakest group and can almost be ignored.
Especially since there are fifty ordinary people, they must also have families.
"Anko is here too?"
Ye Li suddenly remembered the cute girl who used to pester him to play. It has been many years since he last saw her, and the girl should have grown into a beautiful young lady by now.
Li Xifeng nodded and said, "Hongdou is also among these people, so I don't dare to risk leaving. I can only find a place to hide first.
A large number of us have little fighting power, and once we encounter danger, we have no ability to resist at all."
Ye Li said: "I understand, then what about the other group of people?"
Li Xifeng said: "The people near Tianhui Mountain are quite strong, and they are probably in the Descending Spirit Stage to the Yuantai Stage.
There are about a hundred people in this group, and they are considered the elite trained by our Travel Merchants Association.
Our plan is to rendezvous with them and find a place to hide under their protection."
Ye Li sighed upon hearing this and said, “If the entire western part of the continent is shrouded by the power of the Heavenly Soul Society, you can only go to the central part if you want to hide.
The sphere of influence of Prajna Mountain is still a safe place for the time being. Even outside the Imperial City, I am not sure whether there are any enemies.
As for the north, the influence of the Great Snow Mountain Cult is very large, and they have completely come together with the Heavenly Soul Society. They can basically be regarded as members of the Heavenly Soul Society.
Without further ado, Uncle Li, we will leave here tomorrow morning.
With me protecting you, you will not be in any danger as long as the Tianhun Society does not send out its elite forces.
But we should try not to choose to fight. Once my identity is exposed, the people from the Tianhun Society will spare no effort to send experts to encircle and suppress me.
My presence at that time will bring you more danger."
After hearing Ye Li's words, Li Xifeng said, "I understand, Brother Ye Li, we will set off immediately tomorrow morning.
I will go down right away and explain everything to everyone so that everyone can prepare to leave."
Lin Shiyu looked a little distraught the whole time. The demise of the Traveling Merchants Association was a huge blow to him.
Seeing Lin Shiyu's expression, Ye Li walked up to him and said, "Uncle Lin, as long as you guys are still here, we can all survive this catastrophe, and it won't be difficult to set up a traveling merchant association in the future.
After all, everyone in the world knows that you are the founders of the Traveling Merchants Association. If you raise your arms and call for action, a large number of people will definitely join in.
The Guan and Zhao families of the four major chambers of commerce are both in the Five Saints Alliance. You can definitely unite together and form a larger chamber of commerce in the future."
Hearing Ye Li's words, a divine light flashed in Lin Shiyu's eyes.
Then he took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I understand the truth, but I just can't get over it.
But now that you, little brother Ye Li, have said so, I can no longer continue to be immersed in the disaster, I still have to look forward. "
Ye Li smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, that's what I meant."
After comforting Lin Shiyu, Ye Li greeted Chen San, Chen Wu and others in turn.
We have all been friends for many years and there is nothing strange about each other.
After the conversation, servants brought some food and drinks.
"Brother Ye Li, do you want to have some food and drinks with this... this brother behind you?"
After Li Xifeng had finished explaining his departure to his subordinates, he said to Ye Li.
Ye Li glanced at Jin Wu who was shrouded in a black robe and said, "Jin Wu, do you want to try some human food?"
Jin Wu heard this and said, "Master, human food is not delicious. I ate it when I was a child, and it was all stinky stuff." Ye Li was stunned when he heard this and said, "Stinky stuff!?"
Ye Li didn't quite understand why human food could become smelly.
But after thinking about it, he roughly guessed what was going on. Jin Wu had been captured and fed before, and the food that the other party fed Jin Wu was probably some leftovers or even slop.
Even if these things are not bad, they don't taste good when mixed together. No wonder Jin Wu has such an opinion.
Ye Li smiled and said, "Jin Wu, I promise you that what you eat this time will definitely not be smelly. Do you want to try it with me?"
After thinking about it, Jin Wu finally nodded and said, "If the master wants Jin Wu to eat, Jin Wu will eat."
Hearing their conversation, Li Xifeng was shocked and asked, "Brother Ye Li, this... this brother is not a human?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "It is the Five Elements Divine Ape, a mythical beast. It is my new friend.
If you cook, prepare more. I think it will eat a lot."
As Ye Li spoke, he glanced at Jin Wu with a smile.
Although Jin Wu respected Ye Li, he still disagreed with what Ye Li said in his heart. After all, in his impression, the food given to him by humans was smelly.
Even if he obeyed Ye Li and ate some food, he would definitely not eat a lot.
After knowing that the black-robed man beside Ye Li was a divine beast, Li Xifeng and others were shocked. They had never thought that Ye Li would keep a divine beast by his side.
After looking at Jin Wu several times in a row, Li Xifeng quickly gave orders to the servants to prepare more food.
After Jin Wu took off the mask, Li Xifeng and others were shocked again. It was the first time they saw a monster that looked like a human, which really opened their eyes.
Although they knew that the divine beasts had intelligence no less than that of humans, they had never seen them with their own eyes.
Hongdou also appeared in front of Ye Li at this time. As Ye Li expected, Hongdou had already passed her 1980s and had gradually matured.
She was still wearing a bright red dress. Although she didn't have a beauty that could overshadow the moon and flowers, she looked gentle and generous, without any of the mischievousness she had as a child.
