Chapter 916: Killing the Donkey After It Has Done Its Job? That's Too Good to Be True!

In the distant battlefield of Xianhe, a group of mysterious messengers quietly sneaked into the huge army!

Their actions were extremely secretive, and they shuttled silently among the soldiers like ghosts. Their eyes were firmly fixed on Li Congxin, the core figure of the army, and they were always monitoring his every move.

Li Congxin stood in front of the camp with a stern look on his face, staring firmly into the distance.

He has his own plans in mind. In the past few days, he has issued an important order to keep the army stationary and fully exploit the remaining Huohong Gold Mine!

The soldiers immediately took action and got into mining work enthusiastically.

The messengers hid in the dark and watched all this closely.

When they heard Li Congxin's order, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"What is he going to do?" a messenger whispered to his companions, his eyes full of doubts.

"Does he really want to build a powerful army and then rebel?" Another envoy frowned, secretly speculating in his heart.

They looked at each other and saw the same worry in each other's eyes.

One of the messengers clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "No, we must immediately pass this news to the Western Immortal Lord so that he can make an early decision."

Others nodded in agreement.

So, they quickly took out the jade pendant of communication and informed the Western Immortal Master in detail about everything that happened here.

In the distant Western Immortal Palace, the Western Immortal Lord was sitting on a gorgeous throne when he suddenly felt the vibration of the jade pendant that conveyed the message.

He picked up the jade pendant and read the message in it, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy!

"This Taoist Congxin actually betrayed me!" The Immortal Lord of the West slapped the armrest of the throne angrily, stood up, and paced back and forth in the palace.

His heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and he didn't know what to do with Li Congxin, his once capable subordinate!

"Your Majesty, we cannot sit idly by and watch!" the counselor on the side said cautiously, "We must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."

The Western Immortal Master stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.

He frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Continue to send people to closely monitor every move of Taoist Congxin. We must not let him notice that we already know his plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the counselor nodded.

On the Xianhe battlefield, Li Congxin was not aware of the envoys' actions at all.

He was still focused on commanding the soldiers to mine the gold mines, and he was looking forward to the scene after successfully building the 10,000 pairs of strong armors and magical weapons!

He secretly planned to make his army stronger!

As the days passed, the gold mining work progressed smoothly.

Li Congxin sometimes went to the mining area in person to check the progress, and sometimes studied strategies and tactics in the camp.

He always has a firm and confident smile on his face, as if everything is under his control!

The messengers monitored him more nervously, always ready to convey the latest situation to the Western Immortal Lord.

Their hearts are full of contradictions. On the one hand, they know that Li Congxin is a capable general, but on the other hand, they have to carry out the orders of the Western Immortal Lord!

On this day, while Li Congxin was inspecting the mining area, he suddenly felt a strange gaze watching him.

call!

His heart trembled, and he looked around keenly, but found nothing unusual.

So, he secretly became vigilant, knowing that someone might be spying on him!

But he didn't show anything strange and continued to patrol as if nothing had happened.

The envoys were hiding in the dark and became even more nervous when they saw that Li Congxin seemed to be aware of it.

"He won't find us, right?" a messenger asked in a low voice.

"Probably not, we hid it so well." Another messenger comforted, but he was also a little uneasy in his heart.

When all the gold mines were finally mined, Li Congxin immediately ordered the ore to be transported to the camp and began to build armor and magical weapons.

The soldiers were busy, sparks were flying, and the sound of hammers echoed throughout the camp!

The messengers looked at all this, and their worries became more and more intense.

"He really wants to build a powerful army, what should we do?" they kept asking themselves in their hearts.

Finally, they decided to report to the Immortal Lord of the West again.

The messenger jade pendant flashed again, informing the Western Immortal Master of the latest developments here.

After the Western Immortal Master learned about it, he became even more convinced that Li Congxin had betrayed him!

He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with anger.

"We can't wait any longer, we must take action immediately!" The Western Immortal Master secretly said in his heart.

He summoned his ministers and generals and began to discuss how to deal with Li Congxin.

The magnificent hall was filled with a tense and dignified atmosphere!

All the big shots in the Western Fairy Court gathered here at this moment, and they started a fierce debate around how to deal with Li Congxin.

"In my opinion, we should arrest him directly! To avoid long nights and endless dreams!" An immortal in gorgeous robes said excitedly, waving his arms, his face full of eagerness and determination.

"No!" Another immortal immediately retorted, "Taoist Congxin is in charge of the army and has a very high prestige in the army. The soldiers worship him very much. If he is arrested rashly, it may lead to a mutiny!"

He frowned and paced back and forth worriedly.

Everyone was arguing with each other, their voices echoing in the hall, and the quarrel was fierce.

Some people advocated tough measures, while others emphasized the need to act cautiously, and various opinions collided fiercely!

The Western Immortal Lord sat high on the gorgeous throne and looked at him.

He rubbed his temples and sighed in his heart!

"Be quiet!" The Western Immortal Lord finally couldn't help but shouted loudly, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone stopped arguing and looked at the Immortal Lord.

The Immortal Lord took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's not a good idea for you to continue arguing like this. You have to come up with a practical solution."

Everyone was silent, thinking about how to solve this thorny problem.

At this time, an immortal who looked like a counselor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

"Why don't we send an envoy with your identity token to remove the general from Taoist Congxin's position and see how he will react, and then make a decision!"

The Western Immortal Lord nodded slightly and said, "That's a solution, let's do it!"

Soon, the envoy was selected. He held the identity token of the Western Immortal Lord in his hand and set off on the road to Li Congxin's camp with trepidation.

Along the way, his heart was full of tension and anxiety!

"What if Taoist Congxin doesn't obey orders? He has a large army!" The envoy thought to himself, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

On the other side, Li Congxin was sitting in his tent, thinking about the next strategic plan.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and then a soldier ran into the tent, saluted and said, "General, the envoy from the Western Fairy Court wants to see you."

Li Congxin was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart, but he still said, "Let him in."

The envoy walked into the tent with a nervous look, and when he saw Li Congxin, he saluted quickly, and then respectfully presented the identity token of the Western Fairy Lord, saying, "General, the Western Fairy Lord has ordered to remove your position as the general!"

Li Congxin's face suddenly became gloomy, staring at the envoy closely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Humph, why did the Fairy Lord suddenly make such a decision?" Li Congxin asked with gritted teeth, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

The messenger lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Li Congxin, and stammered, "This... This is the will of the Immortal Lord, and I don't know it either."

Li Congxin was furious. He knew that he had made great contributions to the Western Immortal Court, but now he was treated like this. He secretly cursed the Western Immortal Lord for his ruthlessness.

"Go back and tell the Immortal Lord that I don't accept it!" Li Congxin said loudly, his voice full of determination.

The messenger looked at Li Congxin in horror, nodded repeatedly, and then hurriedly left the tent.

After the messenger left, Li Congxin paced back and forth in the tent, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"The Immortal Lord is going to kill the donkey after it has done its job, I absolutely can't sit and wait for death!" Li Congxin thought to himself.

At the same time, the messenger rushed back to the Western Immortal Court without stopping, and reported Li Congxin's reaction to the Western Immortal Lord and the bigwigs truthfully.
