129 Various Forces
a few days later
"Erwuzai! What did you do to my father!?" The people in Shilin City were impetuous, and the situation in Yanhu City was not much better. News of the mysterious disappearance of the Lord of Hubu City spread like wildfire, and all the fingers were pointed at the third party. An arakkoa deputy city lord arrived at the scene.
The Yaren deputy city lord's name is Erwuzai, and he has stayed in Lion Forest City for more than a thousand years. Although he usually fulfills his duties loyally and diligently, this is Yanhu City, a large monster city with a majority of tigers. In the hearts of the people, he is a foreigner. Many tigers even believed that Hubu would make him the deputy city lord in order to stabilize the other alien races in the city and maintain the people's support.
"I've said it many times." No matter how good-tempered he was, Erwuzai couldn't bear such unwarranted accusations. He looked at the menacing tiger clan and felt very disappointed.
"Fart! It's been several days and my father hasn't contacted us yet. Either he was hidden by you or he was imprisoned by you." Hu Bu's youngest son, Hu Ben, relied on the help of the other two deputy city lord uncles. Support, the attitude can be described as very tough.
"The Lord of the City is on the third level of Demon Emperor, and I only have one level. How can I hurt him?"
"Everyone can see the thunder coming from the sky. My father must have been preparing to break through, but he was attacked by a villain like you."
Erwuzai almost laughed out loud when he heard this. What good would that do to him? Putting aside the fact that his cultivation level is not as good as that of Hubu, even if he has made all preparations and is confident enough, Yanhu City still belongs to the Tiger Clan. How can he, who is just a Crow Clan, seize power?
However, the other party obviously did not intend to listen to the explanation, and Hubu had no news at all. Erwuzai did not intend to hide it anymore, and directly told everything he knew.
Although Hu Ben had spoken to his brother Hu Lao, he did not know the details of the camp. As Erwu Zai told the facts and his speculations about what had happened, all the tiger clan fell silent.
But the silence was followed by even crazier accusations.
"You Erwuzai, you really treat us like idiots! You yourself said that my father was a third-level demon emperor, how could he be struck to death by the so-called sky thunder! Not to mention that this place is thousands of miles away from my brother's camp. !”
"Unless it's divine punishment from heaven, no magic weapon can accurately kill the powerful Demon Emperor from such a long distance." The other two deputy city lords also expressed their opinions.
After pulling it back and forth, Erwuzai still pulled it back to Erwuzai. Erwuzai couldn't bear it anymore and got violent. However, he still remembered the friendship in the past and did not take action to hurt the demon. He just decided to leave here.
However, the two deputy city lords had already laid a dragnet around his residence, and a battle was unavoidable.
Half a day later, the forces in the other seven major cities and aristocratic families received news that Yanhu City had decided to withdraw from this operation.
Fengniu City was the first to quit, thinking that Yanhu City had taken over the task of taking away the Holy Word's mother, and now he must have hidden his mother. He planned to negotiate terms with the Holy Word after attacking the city and enjoy the results.
The senior officials of other big cities and aristocratic families think it makes sense. They were originally worried that Lion Forest City would become stronger in the future, so they united to attack. Yanhu City wants to withdraw? Yes, the Mother of the Holy Prophet must be handed over to them.
There is no mother of the Holy Word here in Yanhu City. Even the city lord has disappeared. So just after solving the deputy city lord's 'conspiracy to seize the throne', he started quarreling with the outside world again.
At night, in a secret room.
Except for Yanhu City, all the forces involved in the siege gathered together. Among them, a very important demon clan family spoke for Yanhu City, and that was the Xuanyang clan.
Xuanyang is a spiritual beast mixed with Xuanwu blood. However, due to different cultivation methods, the Xuanyang clan in Xuande Realm belongs to the demon clan rather than spiritual beasts. Despite this, having the bloodline of the Xuanwu Divine Beast is more powerful than other demon clans. In addition, the Xuanyang clan is usually a good guy and rarely participates in any fights, so they have a very high say.
The patriarch of the Xuanyang Clan is a skinny old man with horns on his head and sunken eye sockets. During the meeting, he said that the secret realm of Demon Bailin will be opened in two days. Now that conflicts have broken out, it is not conducive to siege the city. Lion Forest City created an opportunity, and he received news that a deputy city lord of Lion Forest City had broken through to the fourth level of the Demon Emperor.
Because the human half-saints of Kunlun Realm purged the demon clan of Beihan Continent more than two months ago, the cultivation level of the fourth-level demon emperor has surpassed many of the higher-ups present. With the addition of the city defense formation and the Holy Word, this siege was extremely difficult.
"If Yanhu City quits, just quit. But quitting is easy, but it will be impossible to join again. If anyone else wants to quit now, they can put it forward immediately."
There was no demon present to speak. Nonsense, kick out Yanhu City, add the seven major demon cities and more than ten major demon clan families, it is only a matter of time before the Lion Forest City is captured. Once it is done, even if they are divided together, the wealth of a big city will be amazing.
"In that case, then proceed as planned. What do you want to do to Yanhu City in the future? Haha, it won't be too late to do it then."
The words of the leader of the Xuanyang clan made the eyes of the higher-ups present brighten up. This was obviously a preparation to attack the Lion Forest City and then the Yanhu City. The two big cities would fall at once... Beihan Continent will undergo a new round of war. By shuffling the cards, everyone can get more resource allocation.
In the Dharma-ending era, resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
After discussing the siege plan for a while and ensuring that there was no problem, the senior officials dispersed, leaving only the leader of the Xuanyang clan in the secret room.
He was sitting on a stone chair, and his already deep-set eye sockets looked a little scary under the flickering candlelight.
Suddenly all the candles went out and the secret room fell into darkness.
"Dear Sir, things are a bit unexpected, but it has accelerated our Xuanyang clan's unification of the Northern Cold Continent." Xuanyang clan leader suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry about anything else. The Holy Word must be killed as soon as possible. He will affect the unity of your clan." The hoarse voice sounded as if it came from the void and was terrifying.
Although Xuanyang Patriarch has doubts, the Holy Word can speak holy words and benefit all living beings. It is actually better to catch them than to kill them. However, when the Lord said this, there must be some considerations from the Lord, so the Patriarch just nodded to express his understanding.
Soon the candlelight was rekindled and everything returned to its original state, as if the conversation just now had never happened.
————Lion City
Ye Yong, who was enjoying dinner, suddenly felt a chill.
"Yong'er, what's wrong?" Lin Wei, as a child-protector, was always paying attention to her son's situation.
"No." Ye Yong shook his head, with a vague premonition. Jin Honglian and Kuangpolou quietly left yesterday to go to the Demon Bailin Secret Realm, waiting for the secret realm to open. Now only Niyu is left in the city. Logically speaking, Niyu has experienced the baptism of holy energy for a month, which is enough to crush all the demon clan forces in the Northern Cold Continent. , but Ye Yong always felt that something unexpected would happen.
Events other than the plot of the novel are troublesome, and I don’t know the direction at all.
Ye Yong looked at Lin Wei, Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou who were eating together, wondering if they should be sent back to the Southern Continent. Not long after this idea came up, he gave up because it is often the case in novels and TV series. Sending the people around you to a safe place often means sending them into the hands of the enemy and then becoming a weakness. Ye Yong hasn't bought the magic weapon of time yet. If the reversal point is sufficient, protecting them won't be a problem. It's safer to stay with them.
It depends on whether the protagonist Long Tian can leave Shilin City tomorrow. Once he leaves, the possibility of accidents will be much smaller.
