saint of humanity

Although he was a little disappointed, Lu Ye was already very satisfied. After all, he had picked it up, and Yuan Xi was easy to talk to. If it were another city lord, he might not be willing to pay attention to his request under the circumstances just now.

"Congratulations, sir, for winning another battle!" Lu Ye congratulated him with a fist.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "We just killed their city lord. We still have to attack the city."

"It seems unnecessary." Lu Ye shook his head and informed the news that Monk Chen Shuang had escaped.

Yuan Xi nodded: "He knows what's good for him!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took the inheritance left by the three dead Hedaos, and then looked at Lu Ye with a smile: "Is it fun to kill Hedaos?"

She was obviously talking about the fact that Lu Ye had just specifically wanted to kill the City Lord of Chenshuang himself, and the same thing happened to the Hedao who was killed first. It was obvious that he was dead, but Lu Ye had to give him another blow. In her opinion, Lu Ye was clearly experiencing the feeling of killing the strong with the weak.

Lu Ye responded a little late: "Just to satisfy my desire."

Yuan Xi did not comment and flew towards Chenshuang City, with Lu Ye following closely behind.

Soon we arrived in front of the city.

Lu Ye was a little surprised: "Didn't they all escape?"

He had just thought that all the cultivators from Chenshuang City had fled, but now he realized that there were still a few left. There were not many of them, only four, and they should all be Rong Dao. Led by a white-haired old man, they stood respectfully in the square in the city.

The city defense formation had been closed, so Yuan Xi and Lu Ye broke into the city without any hindrance. The two of them hung in the air, one in front of the other, overlooking the Rong Dao below.

The old man lowered his head, not showing the panic of a defeated warrior. Instead, he spoke in a loud voice, clasped his fists and said, "Fan Wu greets the two adults."

The three people behind him also saluted, but compared with Fan Wu's indifference, they were somewhat flustered.

Because once the war between Hedao cities ends, it will often end with the victorious side slaughtering the defeated side. Not to mention that there will be casualties on both sides in the siege and they will form hatred for each other. As for the Hedao cities themselves, the size of each Hedao city is limited and cannot accommodate unlimited manpower.

There are many considerations involved, the biggest of which is that if too many people are accommodated, the efficiency of practice will decrease.

Therefore, each Hedao City has its own standards for the number of people it can accommodate. Generally speaking, the higher the quality of the Hedao City, the more people it can accommodate.

For example, among the ten top Hedao cities, the one with the largest population can accommodate hundreds of thousands of cultivators coexisting in the city. It is no longer a city, but a realm.

In such a situation, if the defeated party in the siege could survive by chance, they would flee. Only a very small number of people would be willing to stay, because there was no way to be sure whether the original enemy was willing to accept them. If not, they would be waiting to die.

However, Fan Wu stayed behind with a few Rong Daoists.

Yuan Xi didn't say anything. She was obviously trying to act like the city lord. Lu Ye understood what she meant. He took a step forward and raised his hand to press on the handle of the Panshan Knife. He was murderous: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Of course he could see the intention of these people to surrender, but if they wanted to surrender, they had to show their own value. After spending such a period of time with Yuan Xi, he naturally saw that Yuan Xi had a requirement of not having too many people under her command, otherwise she would not have spent a lot of money to buy those slaves from Hehejie.

Those slaves are not mediocre at all, each has his own strengths. Yuan Xi should have spent a lot of Dao fish to buy them.

Lu Ye didn't have to kill these Rong Dao, but if they were not of much value, it was okay to kill them.

Fan Wu finally raised his head, looked directly into Lu Ye's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is extremely powerful. If you want to kill us, we naturally have no power to resist, but can you listen to me? If you still want to kill me after listening to me, then we will wait for you and will never resist."

Lu Ye nodded secretly. Regardless of Fan Wu's cultivation strength, his character at the critical moment of life and death was rare.

"Then tell me." Lu Ye said indifferently, "If you tell me well, I may spare your life."

Fan Wu said succinctly: "To be honest with you two adults, I took the initiative to help you two adults preserve the greatest victory of this battle!"

Lu Ye said calmly: "What did you save?"

"He Dao Zhu!" Fan Wu replied.

"What do you mean?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Your Excellency should have seen it before. When the battle in Chenshuang was going badly, many cultivators in the city fled under the leadership of Master Hequ. Before leaving, Master Hequ even thought about destroying the city's Hedao Pearl. It was I who tried my best to dissuade him from this idea."

Lu Ye didn't know who Hequ was, but from what Fan Wu said, he should be the Hedao who escaped.

In fact, Lu Ye had such concerns before. If the enemy realized something was wrong and destroyed the Hedao Pearl before escaping, then this siege would not yield much.

Moreover, he could imagine that such things should happen frequently in the inner world. All cultivators are full of hatred, and none of them are immune to the temptation to die in glory rather than live in disgrace.

He had been worried about this matter when he saw many cultivators from Chen Shuang's side escaping, but he had no time to stop them at that time.

If Hequ really chooses to break the Hedao Pearl, he will be able to take away a small part of the Hedao Pearl fragments. At that time, with his Hedao cultivation and the Hedao Pearl fragments in his hands, he will be able to get good treatment whether he creates his own Hedao City or joins another Hedao City.

For Hequ, this choice is the most normal and best choice, but Hequ did not do so in the end.

Lu Ye suddenly became curious about how Fan Wu had dissuaded him from this idea.

"How did you persuade him?" Lu Ye asked with interest.

Fan Wu replied: "It's not really persuasion. I just asked him two questions." Without waiting for Lu Ye to continue asking questions, Fan Wu continued: "First, I would like to ask him how strong the enemy is. Then, if the enemy gets angry and chases him, can he be sure to escape?"

"that's it?"

"That's it." Fan Wu replied respectfully, "Lord Hequ is a sensible person. He certainly knows that helping others is helping yourself, so he made a wise choice and escaped alone."

"You're good!" Yuan Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a smile.

Lu Ye immediately understood that Fan Wu could survive.

Just as he said, he helped Yuan Xicheng to maintain the greatest victory in this battle, which was a great contribution to Yuan Xicheng. Since he had made a contribution, Yuan Xi would certainly not blame him.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Yuan Xi asked again.

Fan Wuyi bowed and clasped his fists, saying, "Sir, I am old now and don't want anything. I just want you to take us into the city. From now on, we will follow your lead."

As if he was afraid that Yuan Xi would refuse, he added: "To be honest with you, sir, I don't have much other skills, but I have some experience in formation. If you want to set up a formation in the future, I think we can help."

Yuan Xi tilted her head and glanced at Lu Ye with a questioning look on her face.

Lu Ye had no idea why she was looking at him. Yuanxi City was hers, whether to take it or to kill it, she didn't need to ask for his opinion.

However, Fan Wu has already said this, if Yuan Xi still kills them, it would be a bit inhumane. Since the city lord has asked for his opinion, Lu Ye must express his position, so he nodded slightly.

Yuan Xi did not express his opinion immediately, but just ordered: "Wait here!" and led Lu Ye to fly towards the central hall.

He quickly entered it and found the Hedao Pearl.

Although Fan Wu just said that he saved the Hedao Pearl for Yuan Xicheng, it is impossible to be sure until you see it with your own eyes.

In comparison, the Hedao beads of the Heaven-level Hedao City are obviously brighter than those of the Earth-level ones.

"Are you ready?" Yuan Xi looked at Lu Ye and asked.

Lu Ye suddenly felt a little nervous.

He didn't know how he had intercepted the fragments of the Hedao Pearl of Liuguang Hedao City last time. It was just a vague feeling at the time, and then he did what he felt.

He didn't even know whether it was his own ability, because he didn't mobilize any power at that time.

I have been saying that I want to verify this matter until today.

So when Yuan Xi asked him if he was ready, he didn't know what he should prepare.

This is different from fighting. In fighting, at least there is a specific goal.

Just as Lu Ye was about to ask Yuan Xi to wait a moment and try to recreate that feeling himself, he saw Yuan Xi had already slapped the Hedao Pearl with one palm.

The huge Hedao bead immediately shattered into pieces, turning into even smaller Hedao bead fragments that flew in all directions.

Yuan Xi was well prepared. When he urged on his Dao power, many fragments of the Dao Beads hovered in the air. However, most of them were not affected and quickly faded away during their flight, trying to escape into the invisible darkness.

It was at this moment that Lu Ye, who was not yet prepared, suddenly felt that strange feeling in his heart again.

Immediately, he raised his hand slightly, spread out his five fingers, aimed at the direction of the many fragments of the Hedao beads, and suddenly grasped them!
At this moment, the many faded fragments of the Hedao Pearl seemed to be obstructed by something and quickly solidified again, each hovering in their original positions.

Lu Ye looked calm, but his heart was filled with emotions.

It was confirmed that he did have the ability to intercept the Hedao Pearl.

Even though this was something he had done himself, and even though it was not the first time, Lu Ye still felt it incredible.

Yuan Xi tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "Not bad, Great Commander. I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who has this ability."

At the very least, she had never heard of anyone being able to intercept the fragments of the Hedao Pearl that were about to escape into the underworld. With her identity and experience, if she had not seen it, then it had never happened before.

"How did you do it?" Yuan Xi asked interestedly.

How did he do it? Lu Ye himself couldn't explain it clearly. Before attacking Liuguang, he didn't even know he had this ability. (End of this chapter)
