Hearing Ye Li's firm tone, Zhao Qingyuan's face showed some struggle, and after a long while he finally nodded.
Before coming, Zhao Wanyin once told Zhao Qingyuan that Ye Li was a very special person, very strong, and very trustworthy, so after hesitating for a while, Zhao Qingyuan chose to believe Ye Li's decision.
"Brother Ye, no matter whether we win or lose this trial, my Zhao family is grateful for your courageous support and your willingness to help us."
As Zhao Qingyuan was speaking, he suddenly bowed to Ye Li in a very formal manner.
When Ye Li saw this, he quickly turned sideways and then pulled Zhao Qingyuan up.
Zhao Qingyuan originally wanted to force himself to maintain his posture, but with Ye Li's extraordinary strength, he was pulled up in just a blink of an eye.
He felt like a grass stem in Ye Li's hands, which was easily straightened.
"Brother Qingyuan, I can't accept your politeness. I only consider you as friends, so I am willing to help you, not to ask you to be 'grateful'."
Ye Li said pretending to be angry.
Zhao Qingyuan was touched, but he did not perform any more formal greetings. Instead, he kept Ye Li's friendship in his heart.
“Brother Ye, you better be careful. Don’t try to show off. If you feel something is wrong, get down the mountain as soon as possible. Don’t lose your life in vain.
The eight of us knew that we didn't have the ability to go up the mountain from the side, so we could only go up from the front. Although we might not be able to detain the Zhu family masters, we could still kill more of them.
We must make them pay for the sixteen lives lost in our team."
As they spoke, hatred once again appeared in the eyes of Zhao Qingyuan and the other Zhao family members.
Ye Li knew that they were filled with hatred, so he nodded and said, "Brother Qing Yuan, everyone should be careful. Although revenge is important, your lives are more important. Don't let anyone else get hurt."
Zhao Qingyuan also nodded and patted his shoulder. Then they separated at the foot of the mountain and headed in different directions.
Ye Li watched Zhao Qingyuan and the others rush up the mountain path in front of the Sacred Mountain and start heading towards the halfway point of the mountain. He turned around and ran to the left, going around to the left mountain path at the fastest speed.
The mountain trail on the left is unlike the one on the front, there are several different paths.
There is only one road on the mountain path on the left, which winds its way towards the top of the mountain. It looks extremely steep and difficult to walk on.
Ye Li observed the mountain path while running and found that there was no strong wind blowing, so he didn't know what was going on.
But he definitely believed what Zhao Qingyuan said. There was definitely a problem here. After all, if there was really no obstruction from the strong wind, it would be obvious that the nine of them would be much faster if they could climb up this mountain wall.
The mountain road here is very steep, and the journey is shorter than the front road. However, this level of steepness may only be dangerous for ordinary people. For the talisman masters, it is nothing at all. The nine of them may not even need half the time to climb the front road to reach the top of the mountain.
With the help of Feng Qinghuan, Ye Li reached the mountain path after a few jumps.
Just as he stepped onto the mountain path, gusts of wind suddenly began to blow on the originally calm mountain.
The strong wind suddenly lifted the clouds on the shoulders of the mountain and blew towards Ye Li at the foot of the mountain. In just a moment, Ye Li's clothes began to rustle.
The wind was rapidly increasing at an extremely exaggerated speed, and Ye Li could already feel the extremely rich wind spiritual energy blowing towards him.
In just a few breaths, the strong wind made a strong whistling sound beside Ye Li's ears. Its power had indeed reached the Spirit Sea Stage.
The strong wind and the spiritual energy did not tear Ye Li's clothes into pieces, but passed through the gaps in the cloth, piercing his body like steel needles.
Ye Li stood in the strong wind and waited for a long time, until the wind strengthened to the extreme and then stabilized, he finally smiled.
The greatest force of this storm seemed to be at the late stage of the Spirit Sea Stage, and his body was indeed not greatly affected by the strong wind.
His powerful physical strength had already reached the level of ordinary monsters in the late Spirit Sea period before this. His strength was astonishing, and he only felt a slight pain in the strong wind, without even a trace of damage.
When he took a step and tried to move forward, although it was a bit difficult, the strong wind did not pose much of a hindrance to him, and he could simply rush forward quickly.
After listening to what Zhao Qingyuan said before, Ye Li had a plan in mind. If the wind here only has the killing power of the late Linghai period, he could give it a try.
His physical strength had reached that of a demon beast in the late Spirit Sea stage, which meant that he didn't need to constantly release spells to resist the power of the strong wind.
As long as his body can withstand the impact of the wind, he can climb directly to the top of the mountain without any consumption.
This road is much shorter than the mountain road in front, and there will be no fighting. If he climbs up from this side in one breath, then there is a great possibility that he will catch up with the other three families and enter the Puppet Alley on the top of the mountain. Only by catching up with the other three families can he help the Zhao family win. If he can't even catch up with the Zhu family, they have no hope of winning against the other party.
After Ye Li calmed himself down, he started walking towards the top of the mountain.
His muscles bulged and he exerted his strength to the extreme. He strode forward against the pressure of the strong wind.
On the mountain road in front, the three families arrived at the halfway point of the mountain almost at the same time.
After going through the psychedelic jungle, the three families suffered some casualties, but at most only two or three people were lost.
Since their numbers were similar, they had no psychological disadvantage against each other and would start fighting each other once they met.
In addition to Hua Chenggong and Lin Biedong, the two people headed by the Zhu family also include Zhu Yulin, a top master in the Lingdan period.
Three talisman masters at the peak of the Spiritual Pill Stage formed a formation and rushed forward with their strongest force.
Their goal is to break out of the battle circle and not be involved in the large-scale battle, otherwise they will be unable to move in a short period of time.
After all, there is no limit to the number of people who can pass through Puppet Alley in the end. Even if only one person reaches the finish line first, it is considered a victory for the entire family.
The three masters believed that their strength was enough to deal with the situation in Puppet Alley.
The housekeeper and the Tao family had the same idea. Each family had three or four masters at the front of the team, rushing towards the mountain road ahead.
The three masters who were at the front had already started fighting each other. Their goal was not to defeat each other, but to try to stop each other.
