14. City Lord's Mansion
The scene in the city lord's mansion was in a mess, and countless beaches of scarlet blood splashed out seemed to have washed the ground of the city lord's mansion.
The broken uninhabited corpses, broken pieces of meat mixed in blood, and armor and weapons, these things combined together, were still alive half an hour ago.
The corpses of the monster transformed into Mu Xueqing were only a few gray stains left on the field. The residues of the charred corpses were crushed countless times and were kneaded and shattered and crushed.
There were also many corpses of monks from the city lord's mansion around the corpse. These corpses were scattered there in a mess and no one cleaned them up. Occasionally, a few could still see unwilling eyes solidified on their intact heads. These people obviously contributed their lives for the final tragic victory.
The few remaining monks were assigned tasks loudly by the manager with a bitter face, rushed to several key positions in the guardian formation in the mansion to strengthen their defense.
The city lord's bold words had already drifted away like the wind, and more and more demon insects were already pouring over around. Now everyone clearly realized that it was a blessing to be able to defend the city lord's mansion.
The city lord looked at everything in front of him with lament and thought that he had done everything he could, it depends on the reaction of the Eshan School.
However, he also knew that this is not the time to be moved. He still understood the principle that the truth that the truth is not in charge of military affairs and the situation is not established. What's more, he had already estimated the ending until now, but he didn't expect that when it really happened, it was even more tragic than he expected.
The manager with a bitter face came over and whispered, "Sir, it's time to go into the secret room."
The city lord knew what he was persuading, shook his head and said, "If I were here, the city lord's mansion would not be so easily compromised; once I disappear, I am afraid that the city lord's mansion will not be able to defend it immediately."
"But" said the manager with a bitter face anxiously: "Sir, you really don't have to take risks yourself."
The city lord smiled sadly, like a hero at the end: "Do you know what it is to take personal risk? When my ancestors arrived here, there was nothing but monsters. They were struggling to set up this huge Jixia City one by one, which was called taking personal risk."
"When the entire East China Sea was divided, my ancestors took the lead in rushing, destroying countless demons, and gaining the admiration of everyone. They became the Lord of the Underworld under the recommendation of everyone. That was called taking risks in person."
"My ancestors were thrust into each other, and made the Jixia City bigger and bigger, that was to take risks in person."
"And I" the city lord shook his head with a wry smile, his face of pride turned into bitterness by the shrill state of the city lord's mansion in front of him: "I am just a stray dog, and I see that the family's foundation is almost impossible to save!"
The city lord closed his eyes.
"Open the door, open the door!"
The manager with a bitter face was waiting for further advice, and suddenly a familiar and urgent voice came in.
The city lord and the manager looked at each other in shock. In such a terrifying situation outside, there was still someone who could come back alive.
They looked up and found that Qian Yunsheng was standing outside the formation. He was covered in blood and waved two huge long vines on his hands. The long vines were like eyes growing in his hands, flying all over the sky, sucking all the insects that were coming out of the air around him.
"Hurry, put it in." The city lord hurriedly ordered.
The monks guarding the gate quickly responded, and spells were flying all over the sky. Everyone opened the formation and put Qian Yunsheng in.
When the city lord saw him coming in, he had no time to politely treat him. He went up and asked anxiously, "How is it outside?"
Qian Yunsheng glanced at the city lord without a trace. Seeing that the seed he threw was still there, he felt a little relieved and shook his head and said, "The situation is very bad. There are countless demon insects outside, and even I can't kill them back."
He had already put away the soul-catching banner, and the blood and energy in his body were also damaged by killing demon insects, so it was more like it in order to cover it up.
After hearing Qian Yunsheng's words, the city lord's face turned even worse.
Seeing that he was not talking for a long time, Qian Yunsheng knew that he still had a trace of fantasy. When he thought of the strength of the witch outside, he would chase him at any time and persuaded anxiously:
"Sir, things have come to this point, you have to make the worst plan." The manager with a bitter face also nodded.
The city lord became panicked without Qian Yunsheng's expectation, and led everyone to retreat without any choice. He calmed down and regained a trace of calmness and wisdom. He stared at Qian Yunsheng's eyes and asked in a deep voice:
"If you were the Lord of Jixia City, if this Lord of Jixia City had everything from your family, glory, honor, and even wealth. Tell me, would you give it up?" The Lord of the City Hall's voice did not fluctuate at all, as if he was stating a fact.
"You also know what kind of chaotic and dirty world is like outside. Those who eat people and don't vomit bones, even fight each other, are just commonplace. When you see the benefits, you rush to share the profits. When you encounter difficulties, you will be cleaner than your face." The city lord's eyes began to have an angry light:
"What's the use of mortals like us, even if I am the lord of Jixia City, if I leave the protection of Jixia City, even if I can escape by chance? Those humans who seem to be of the same clan will only pounce on you ten times more fiercely than demons, and will eat you up!"
The city lord smiled coldly, as if he had seen through all this a long time ago, and continued:
"When you encounter a so-called upright sect, you may also take into account the face of the upright sect and slowly harvest us in pieces. If you encounter a cruel person, you may just grab you clean. You all advise me to retreat, where do you think I can retreat?"
The more the city lord spoke, the colder the more he spoke. When he asked the last question, it was like there was a cold air between his teeth.
The manager with a bitter face next to him lowered his head, afraid that the city lord's words would make him feel more deeply.
Qian Yunsheng actually understood the principles that the city lord said. You must know that as a ghost cultivator, what he experienced was even worse than this.
But when he thought of the witch who would come over at any time, the thought of Master Jingci, who didn't know how long it could delay him, and the thought of the only way to retreat in the hand of the city lord, he had to pretend that he didn't understand all this and persuaded:
"What the adults said is good, but nothing is as good as living. Living means hope. If you die, then everything will be gone."
He said while paying attention to the expression of the city lord. If the city lord is determined to live and die with Jixia City, then he might as well take the lead in directly to suppress the city lord.
After hearing Qian Yunsheng's words, the city lord seemed to be instantly relieved. It seemed that Qian Yunsheng's words were like a sharp long sword, piercing the courage he had finally plucked up.
Qian Yunsheng smiled coldly in his heart. He found that his words were useful and thought to himself that this was true. Who is not afraid of death? What's more, people like them who have always been pampered and live a life of luxury at critical moments, but they can't be brave enough to put them to death before they die.
The city lord raised his head and looked at Jixiao for the last time with nostalgia. When he withdrew his gaze, his voice had regained its indifference. He lowered his head and said:
"Let's go, I'm also obsessed with it. Even if we can save our lives, it seems that Jixiacheng will definitely not be able to save it."
"As long as the lord is still there, Jixiacheng will be there." The manager with a bitter face hurriedly stepped forward to support the lord and comforted him.
"Yes, as long as we can defend the core of the city lord's mansion and wait for the Eshan Sect to come, we can fight back." Qian Yunsheng also comforted.
"Besides, although there are so many people outside, there are so many people in Jixia City. In my opinion, as long as Eshan sent it in time, many people can be saved." Qian Yunsheng finally comforted again without hesitation.
The city lord nodded, and his eyes slowly regained vitality and power, and he led everyone toward the secret room.
