Chapter 73: Gathering of Heroes, the Leader's Position

When Li Ye and others arrived at Yumen Pass, night had already fallen.

The wall of Yumen Pass is made of solid loess and stones. After countless years of baptism, it still stands tall. Its appearance is square and towering into the sky, giving people a sense of grandeur and magnificence.

The battlements and arrow holes on the city wall are clearly visible, as if telling its former defensive function. The wall is tall and solid, and every stone seems to be telling the past glory and vicissitudes.

The wars and wars of the past have left deep traces between these solid stone walls. The ancient city gates are open, as if inviting people to enter that magnificent history.

Under the night sky, the moonlight shines on the ancient city walls, creating a silvery glow.

There are shadows of people on the city walls, and the armored soldiers are on guard and patrolling continuously. The city is brightly lit, and a solemn atmosphere hangs over this ancient city.

Li Ye and his party arrived at the city gate, took out the token of the Hall of Heroes, and shouted:
"I am Li Ye from the Hall of Heroes!"

Upon seeing this, the garrison soldiers hurried to check the situation. After confirming that everything was correct, they immediately opened the city gate and let Li Ye and his party enter the city.

Li Ye and others walked quickly towards the government office on Yumen Street.

The soul-suppressing general of Yumen Street was sitting in the main seat with a sad face. Now the remaining troops of the four streets occupied by Dong Zhuo were all gathered in Yumen Street, and there were also troops temporarily transferred from other soul-suppressing streets. Now Yumen Street can be said to have a large number of soldiers and generals.

However, he was only a Yumen Street Soul-Suppressing General, not of high enough rank. He was neither the commander of the Hall of Heroes nor allowed by the Spirit Realm. He had no right to command this huge army and had to wait for the arrangements of the Hall of Heroes.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang troops would make frequent attempts, and small groups of troops would come to harass him from time to time, which made him mentally exhausted.

Suddenly, the guard came to report:

"General, General Li from the Hall of Heroes is here."

"Which General Lee?"

Yumen Street Soul-Suppressing General Li Xingyun frowned.

"The Soul-Suppressing General of Chang'an Street, General Li Ye."

"What, His Highness is coming!"

Li Xingyun stood up immediately, his expression filled with joy, as if he had welcomed a savior.

The Li family has been operating in the northwest for thousands of years and has a huge influence. In addition, in the past hundred years, the spiritual realm has become increasingly corrupt and its authority has been continuously weakened. The Li family seized the opportunity to continue to develop. After the previous Dayutian sacrificed himself to repair the Wuxiang Sect, the current Dayutian was young and was sidelined by the Yulingshi. The spiritual realm was rotten to the core. Against this background, the Li family seized every opportunity to develop and now can be called the uncrowned king of the Northwest.

There are many members in the Li family, and Li Xingyun is one of them. His guardian spirit is Li Daliang, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty.

Li Daliang was a founding general of the Tang Dynasty. He made great contributions in the process of the Tang Dynasty's pacification of the world. He also made outstanding contributions in the war to pacify Tuyuhun. He served as the governor of Lingzhou and the governor of Liangzhou.

Li Yelong, wearing golden armor with dragon patterns, walked into the hall at an extremely fast speed with the gait of a tiger.

Li Xingyun stood up and saluted Li Ye:
"Greetings to Your Highness!"

Li Ye waved his hand and said:
"Uncle Xingyun, there's no need to be so formal. We are all family."

"I won't waste words. I have three purposes for coming here. The first is to control all the troops in Yumen Pass as quickly as possible. The second is to become the leader of the alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo. The third is to try to limit Dong Zhuo's development and gain certain military merits before the main force of the Hall of Heroes arrives."

Li Xingyun nodded.

Seeing this, Li Ye continued:

"Uncle Xingyun, please gather all the soldiers together."

Li Xingyun responded, then turned and left.

I turned around and said to Li Jingyun and Wang Shichuan:
"Next, it's your turn on the stage."

Li Jingyun and Wang Shichuan smiled at each other, and the two towering figures behind them seemed to be laughing as well.

After more than a thousand years, we finally raise our battle flags and return to the battlefield!

……

In the military camp, the undead army was so densely packed that there was no end in sight.

Li Ye, Li Jingyun and Wang Shichuan climbed onto the platform.

"From now on, you will be controlled by these two generals. Who objects?"

A silence.

"Well, from now on, you will be the soldiers of these two generals!" Li Ye handed the army to the two men, then stepped down from the stage and instructed Li Gaoyang to select elite troops to form the Modao Army.

After doing all this, Li Ye turned and left, walking towards the Hall of Heroes.

……

Hall of Heroes.

While everyone was talking in twos and threes, the sound of footsteps was heard from outside the door.

Everyone followed the sound.

I saw a tall and straight figure, handsome appearance, deep and calm eyes, and a handsome young man slowly walking out of the door surrounded by a group of people. His aura was like a dragon and an abyss, deep and unfathomable.

With every step, the surrounding world seemed to be filled with the roars of dragons and tigers, as if stepping on everyone's hearts. Under this magnificent pressure, more than a dozen Soul-Suppressing Generals couldn't help but slow down their breathing.

A pair of deep eyes swept across everyone, and they all turned their eyes away, not daring to look at him. Even the middle-aged man just now felt great pressure at this moment. Although Li Ye did not speak, a voice had already resounded throughout the world.

Here, the dragon is coiled for me and the tiger is lying for me! !
Li Ye looked around for a moment and estimated the strength of the soul-suppressing generals in the hall. There were only eight or nine Jiaore, and the others were shouting nearby. Those who dared to come to the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo must be confident in their own strength.

The smiling old man with white hair and blue robe sitting in the first seat on the left is quite famous in this neighborhood. He is the Soul-Suppressing Chess Master of Tianyuan Street, a long-established and well-known veteran. The Hall of Heroes has extended olive branches to him several times, but was politely declined.

Yan Xi, the quiet woman by the railing, is a Yunqing Street Soul Suppression General. She is very talented and famous, and can be said to be the dream lover of many soul-hosting people. Although she looks weak and moving, she is a high-level strong person. It is said that she once served in the last session of the Hall of Heroes led by Huangfu Longdou, but later withdrew for some unknown reason.

Ling Shuangjiang of Tianhan Street, Huang Yan of Sanshan Street, and Sun Yang of Dengzhou Street are all powerful people in their respective regions and should not be underestimated.

The only thing that surprised Li Ye was that the middle-aged man leaning against the pillar of the house did not seem to be a Soul-Suppressing General.

He has a majestic and dignified aura, and a sharp edge within. He is quite a character!
Finally, his gaze shifted to the burly man in the corner, who was as tall as an iron tower. With just one glance, he felt an inexplicable throbbing.

"Is it Yuchi Lietang?"

Li Ye murmured in his heart.

As Li Ye entered the hall, Gao Chong and others also entered.

The many powerful people in the hall then realized that among the people around this young man, three of them were actually Jiaore powerful people.

Not long after Yang Tianyu stepped into Jiaore, Gao Chong, who was not willing to fall behind, broke through to Jiaore. After a while, Wang Wulong also stepped into Jiaore.

"I am Li Ye, the soul-suppressing general of Chang'an Street. You have all worked tirelessly to accept the invitation of the Hall of Heroes to come and fight against Dong Zhuo. I will remember this friendship in my heart. Without further ado, speed is of the essence in war. I will share the intelligence I have collected with you later. Now, the most important thing is... to decide on a commander!"

"I don't want you to be like a pile of scattered sand, fighting each other, that would be meaningless!"

As the words fell, the huge hall fell into silence. Most people had different expressions on their faces, thinking secretly in their hearts.

Only the middle-aged man and Sun Zhang's eyes lit up.

The middle-aged man simply wanted to fight with Li Ye, or rather, he came for the guardian spirit in Li Ye's body, but Sun Fan had much more in mind.

If I defeat Li Ye and become famous in the northwest, I will become the leader of the alliance and lead the heroes to destroy Dong Zhuo, showing my power. Maybe Fairy Yan Xi will also look favorably upon me! !
The so-called commander is the leader of the alliance. This is different from the eighteen princes of Hulao Pass. In this Zhenhun Street where the weak are the prey of the strong, if you want to be the leader of the alliance and command the heroes, if you don’t have absolute strength and dare not lead the troops, you are not qualified!

Being the leader means that in the next battle, you will directly face the culprit of Yong'an Street, the source of all evil, the devil Dong Zhuo!

"Then tell me, how do you choose?"

"In my opinion, this leader must be highly respected and powerful."

"Strength is the key! This is the underworld, the Soul-Calming Street, but there are not as many rules as in the human world."

"Don't worry, let's listen to what General Li has to say." The gentle old chess man said softly.

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Ye, with scrutiny, suspicion, disdain...all kinds of emotions mixed together.

Facing everyone's questioning gazes, Li Ye chuckled, his pair of black eyes were deep and domineering, and his voice was clear but carried an unquestionable meaning.

"I say, who else but me can be the leader of the alliance?"

"Everyone, there is no need to beat around the bush. If anyone is dissatisfied, just defeat me and I will hand over the position of leader to you!!"

"how about?!"
