CHAPTER 256: 256: SENSE OF ALLIANCE MISSION

Solution!

Li Yan currently doesn’t have one.

Although leaving the mountain is an easy task for them now, there are still large amounts of bombs buried in the tunnel that can’t be ignored.

If Chuan Er is pushed to the brink and detonates the bombs, all the residents of Taiping Mountain will suffer!

"If you have the strength, then run!"

Zhou Li had a difficult escape, and Li Yan didn’t want to drag him down. Moreover, he promised Zhou Li he would bring him to safety, and he had no reason to break his word.

Additionally, as long as Zhou Li can make it down the mountain, Li Yan’s troops will meet him there, and providing treatment for Zhou Li won’t be a problem then.

Zhou Li tugged at the corner of his mouth, let out a bitter smile, and said, "Devil King... I’m not a hero, but neither am I a coward. The disaster at Taiping Mountain started because of me, and the residents are suffering because of me. I have no reason to escape alone..."

"Moreover... everything you’re doing now is to rescue the people of Taiping Mountain. I am ashamed that I can’t help you... how can I run like a deserter..."

Li Yan’s eyes, like black gemstones, glanced at Zhou Li behind him, not expecting him to say such words!

In times of crisis, character is revealed. Zhou Li turned out to be a man of loyalty and righteousness.

"Don’t forget, you need to prove your own and your brother’s innocence! If you die, the truth will sink into oblivion. Even if I want to clear your name, there’ll be no you to testify!"

Li Yan’s demeanor was calm as he analyzed slowly, "I am still useful to Chuan Er! He doesn’t dare to harm me, and besides, he doesn’t want a lose-lose situation. If he really blows up the mountain, he’ll have no hope left!"

"But Chuan Er is ruthless... there’s nothing he wouldn’t do... if he flies into a rage, what will you do then..."

Zhou Li thought a lot, since the Devil King rescued him, he regarded him as an ally. As one of his own, he should also consider his safety.

"From a personal standpoint, I also hope you leave. If we disappear, Chuan Er won’t have Ma Shoushan to aid him, but will mobilize Trainee Ma to search the mountain! If you seize this time gap to contact my trainees and tell them the truth about Taiping Mountain, they will find a way to rescue."

Li Yan shared the same strategic thought as Gu Tong, both maintaining a strategy of eliminating external threats first, then internal ones.

As long as the internal and external forces cannot unite, dealing with Chuan Er would be like catching a turtle in a jar!

Moreover, Li Yan still has a mission to complete! He must destroy the bombs inside Taiping Mountain, and to completely resolve it, he has to find a breakthrough from Chuan Er.

Perhaps at this moment, Li Yan’s mind was made up! He would return to the bandits’ lair again, thoroughly investigate everything, remove the bombs, and restore peace to the people of Taiping Mountain.

Longxing Country is not a time of chaos; the people of Longxing Country should enjoy their beautiful times without living in fear and trepidation. This is the duty of a trainee, and it is something he must fulfill.

In a past life at the same point in time, Li Yan made the same choice and successfully completed the mission, but at that time, he didn’t have Gu Tong as support, so he was seriously injured!

However...

His willingness to self-sacrifice out of trainee duty makes him beyond reproach...
