Chapter 39 Dilemma
That afternoon, when the sun was setting.

The group landed in a relatively open plain, where they would rest for a night before continuing their journey.

On the way, Xuan Zi heard that Huo Yuhao was great at grilling fish, so he immediately organized a barbecue feast for everyone. While enjoying the barbecue feast, everyone's relationship was obviously brought closer.

That night, Li Xingyi did not sleep and rest like others, but chose to practice all night.

His cultivation level continued to rise, and he was only one step away from reaching level 40.

That's right, the solution he thought of was to use the excuse that he needed a spirit ring to reach level 40, and take Lin Lu and temporarily leave the team.

It’s a pity that until the next day when everyone had packed up and were ready to continue their journey, Li Xingyi still hadn’t kicked open the threshold.

That afternoon, everyone finally arrived at the Mingdou Mountains.

And went to the military camp of the Western Army Group of the Star Luo Empire. The army stationed here was led by the Duke of White Tiger.

bang bang bang-

Several flares of different colors rose into the sky and exploded.

People could see it from the cliffs a few kilometers away.

"Okay, the military camp has given us a signal, let's go over there now!"

"Let's go to the military camp to rest and collect some specific information about this bandit group. My father is in the army right now, so I'll take everyone to recognize some familiar faces..."

Dai Yueheng said as he looked at the densely packed military camps in the distance.

Several people behind him also echoed.

"Ah~ I can finally take a break."

"I am so tired from the journey that my back and waist ache. I don't know if the food in this military camp is delicious."

"You only know how to eat. The person we want to meet is the Duke of White Tiger, he's a real big shot!"

The mood of the crowd was relatively relaxed, and they did not take the affairs of the bandit gang too seriously.

They even regarded this encirclement and suppression mission as a journey.

But there was one person who stood in stark contrast to the others.

That is Huo Yuhao standing at the end of the team.

Fortunately, he was standing at the end of the line and no one noticed his abnormality.

He lowered his head with a grim expression, cold sweat kept pouring out of his skin, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

When he thought of the man who abandoned his mother, his overwhelming hatred could not be suppressed and filled his whole body.

He clenched his fists, his desire for revenge growing stronger.

This time, no one comforted his soul, and he was afraid that he would walk down a road of no return.

With different feelings, everyone followed Dai Yueheng's guidance and entered the military camp. They passed through layers of tents and met the man who had been waiting for a long time at the end of the shining sky.

The man had his back to them, his long golden hair still blowing in the wind.

This man is none other than the Duke of White Tiger, a man honored as the "Marshal" by the soldiers of the Xing Luo Empire. His status in the army is second only to the "God of War" Lin Tantian.

Just facing away.

Everyone present felt the terrifying aura emanating from Duke White Tiger. Even the proud sons and daughters of Shrek Academy felt the urge to submit to the man before them.

Dai Yueheng walked forward, knelt on one knee, and placed his hand over his heart.

"Father, they are all here!"

Hearing this, Dai Hao turned around and looked at everyone.

Just like that, his angular face appeared in everyone's pupils, and everyone took a breath of cold air.

Handsome, resolute, upright, iron-blooded temperament...

These words seemed to be born for him. He looked gentle yet full of murderous intent. It was no exaggeration to describe him as a human-shaped beast.

At this time, Dai Hao also saw Li Xingyi and Lin Luyu beside him in the team. "Li boy? Xiaolu? You also joined the inspection team?" Dai Hao said in surprise.

Then, Li Xingyi pulled Lin Lu and walked forward a short distance and came to Dai Hao's side.

"Your Excellency the Duke, Xiaolu and I were selected as the reserve members of the Shrek Seven Devils. They said we should follow them for a mission to familiarize ourselves with the task."

Lin Luye nodded and said, "Yes, uncle."

"Tsk——"

Dai Hao clicked his tongue and put a hand on Li Xingyi's shoulder.

"Little Li, it's too formal for you to call me Duke. You call Lin Tantian uncle and call me Duke?"

Dai Hao was of course joking, and Li Xingyi understood that.

He scratched his head and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my uncle many times in the army for many years. If I call him uncle, people will think I am trying to get close to him~"

"Hahaha……"

"By the way, Li, give my regards to your father."

"okay!"

At the same time, at the end of the team.

A overwhelming hatred mixed with evil energy surged up, and there was no doubt that this aura came from Huo Yuhao.

Seeing the culprit who abandoned his wife and children and ruined his mother's life so closely, it would be a lie to say that I didn't collapse and feel hatred.

But this is so inappropriate at this moment!

Fortunately, Li Xingyi had strong mental strength and he captured Huo Yuhao’s emotional outburst almost immediately.

He quickly released a mental interference towards Huo Yuhao.

This caused Huo Yuhao’s thinking to fall into a state of confusion for a while, and he quickly cleared away the escaping aura.

After a brief conversation, the meeting finally ended.

The war was tense and Dai Hao did not have much time to entertain these people. After saying hello, he went to the command tent and Dai Yueheng was also pulled over by him.

The rest of the people came to the safest area in the center of the military camp and prepared another barbecue feast.

Li Xingyi did not participate. He was seizing the time to practice in an air force camp.

If he remembered correctly, the encirclement and suppression operation of the bandit group would be tonight. Everyone set out under the cover of darkness, and there would probably be less than eight hours left.

He must successfully break through to level 40 before that!

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Xingyi's cultivation was still rising, but he felt that his cultivation should have touched that barrier. He could not kick open that door and could not see any hope at all.

Suddenly, he thought of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Yes! Maybe Brother Tianmeng has a way. After all, he is a million-year-old soul beast who has seen a lot!"

Then, Li Xingyi asked questions towards the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

"Brother Tianmeng, my cultivation is obviously sufficient, but why can't I break through to level 40? The previous few promotions were very smooth. Is there something wrong with my body?"

The moment he heard the question, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was startled.

It would be terrible if Li Xingyi really had health problems, and their plans might be affected.

But after he scanned Li Xingyi's body, he felt relieved. Li Xingyi was in very good health and there was no problem at all.

If there really is a problem, it will definitely not escape his mental scan.

But now another problem was before him.

Since there is nothing wrong with my body, why can't I break through to level 40?
