saint of humanity

Youdie was seriously injured, but City Lord Zhao only suffered minor injuries. On the surface, Youdie was undoubtedly at a greater disadvantage, but City Lord Zhao's status was different after all, and he was injured in his own Hedao City, which greatly damaged his reputation. It is not wrong to say that they are even.

However, this also made City Lord Zhao realize Yuan Xi's vengeful character. Coupled with her reckless arrogance and powerful strength, he really didn't dare to offend her too much under such circumstances.

Otherwise, if they really wanted to rebel and join forces with the enemy to attack, he would definitely find it difficult to resist.

Lu Ye returned safely. Yuan Xi looked him up and down, making sure that he was fine, then nodded slightly.

He turned to look at City Lord Zhao and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to join forces?"

City Lord Zhao's eyes twitched when he heard that. He really couldn't keep up with Yuan Xi's thinking. They were almost at loggerheads just now, and now they were actually joining forces?

This woman might have some problem with her brain.

If Lu Ye had not attacked with that knife just now, he certainly would not mind joining forces with Yuan Xicheng. They had no grudges against each other, and joining forces would be a good opportunity to fight the enemy. In the current environment, Lianzi is hard to come by, and anyone who meets him would not want to miss him.

But at the moment he was so angry that he had no mood to join forces with Yuan Xi.
If he really did this, how would his subordinates view him?

Besides, there is only one Lianzi. If he really wants to snatch it, how should he distribute it? Yuan Xi is very powerful, and the small city is a Hong-level city, which is obviously extraordinary. This makes him have many concerns. Instead of worrying about it later, it is better to withdraw now. Anyway, this trip is not without gains.

He immediately refused: "Not interested."

Having said this, he retreated into the city. In a moment, this desolate city moved away into the distance, actually going straight away.

Almost at the same time as their own desolate city retreated, Yuanxi City also began to evacuate. Since the allies were unwilling to join forces, Yuanxi City naturally would not stay.

The enemy's mayor of the Desolate City was still unwilling to give up, and raised his voice, "Fellow Daoist, are you really not considering switching sides?"

Yuan Xi responded with a smile: "I'll think about it."

"Okay, okay, you can contact me anytime when you've made up your mind. I will vouch for you!" the city lord responded.

From the beginning to the end, the other party had no intention of chasing and killing, and it was obvious that they had some concerns, because they could not guarantee that if they really wanted to attack Yuanxi City, City Lord Zhao would not strike back. If that were the case, there would be another big battle, and no one would be in a good situation.

Furthermore, they already knew about the killing of the military supervisor of Dudu City in Yuanxi City, and perhaps they even had some intention of winning them over.

After a while, in the deserted city, a man with a look of indignation said, "Sir, are we just going to let this go?"

In their own city, the city lord was beaten and injured, and a military supervisor died right under their noses, but the city could only retreat in disgrace. It was really hard to accept.

City Lord Zhao had a dull expression on his face: "Of course we can't just let it go like this." He turned to look at the remaining guard and said: "Send a message to the governor of the city and report the death of the military supervisor. There is no need to exaggerate, just report the truth. They are a group of lawless guys. If this city can't deal with them, someone else will naturally deal with them."

The one who stayed behind understood and left.

In the center of this war zone, a huge Hedao City stands here like an ancient ferocious beast. It is the Zhou-level Hedao City, Shouzhu City, which governs this war zone.

In the central hall, the light of the Hedao Pearl radiated in all directions. Many figures were sitting cross-legged, and countless cultivators were coming in and out.

As the governor-general in charge of the entire war zone, he is responsible for coordinating and dispatching all the Hedao cities in the entire war zone. The exchanges of information and various transfer orders are extremely frequent.

At the very top, there was a tall and thin figure sitting with a dull expression. It was the city lord Shouzhu.

He was born into the Four-Armed Clan and was born with four arms. He was able to become the lord of the Universe-level Hedao City, and his strength was second to none in the entire world.

Ever since the chaos in the snowfield began, he has been sitting here, like a statue, never moving.

Suddenly, a figure below shouted angrily: "What a bastard!"

Shouzhu glanced down calmly and said slowly: "Jinglei, you are still so irritable. What made you so angry?"

Jing Lei quickly walked to Shouzhu's side, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the messenger I sent out earlier was killed."

Shou Zhu said calmly: "The snowfield is in chaos, life and death are determined by fate, and if you are killed, you are killed. Aren't there not many people who have died on this battlefield these days?"

Jing Lei shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know that this messenger supervisor was not killed by the enemy, but by his own people!"

"Oh?" Shouzhu raised his eyelids, "Which Hedao City is so bold?"

"A small town called Yuanxi City!" Jing Lei replied, "I have heard that this city has murdered its allies and destroyed its ally Hedao City, so I ordered a military supervisor to go and pass on the message..."

"What did you say the name of this city is?" Shouzhu frowned.

"Yuan Xicheng..." Jing Lei repeated.

"The city lord's name is Yuan Xi?" Shou Zhu sat up slightly straighter.

"It should be..." Jing Lei was a little stunned. He didn't understand why the city lord suddenly became serious. Moreover, the name of Hedao City is usually named after the city lord. If it is Yuanxi City, the city lord is most likely Yuanxi.

"What does he look like? What's his personality like?" Shouzhu asked again.

Jing Lei was unable to answer for a moment, as these were not mentioned in the message he received.

"Go and find out clearly." Shouzhu ordered, and added: "This is a matter of great importance!"

Jing Lei responded instinctively, "Yes." He quickly retreated to his position and used the power here to send a message to inquire. He was very curious. It seemed that the city lord knew Yuan Xi, but even if he knew him, he should not take him so seriously, unless there was some dispute between the city lord and Yuan Xi.

But he had followed Shouzhu for many years and had never heard of such a thing.

In the deserted city of City Lord Zhao, it didn't take long for the message to be passed to the Governor's City before feedback was received. However, what shocked He Dao who stayed behind was that the Governor's City neither asked them what to do nor told them how to punish Yuan Xicheng. Instead, they asked about Yuan Xi's appearance and personality.

"Sir, what is the governor going to do?" The governor looked at City Lord Zhao. Shouldn't he ask about the details of what happened? Why did he ask about Yuan Xi?

City Lord Zhao's face was solemn: "It is indeed so!"

He had previously felt that Yuan Xi's background was somewhat extraordinary because he was so powerful and owned a Hong-level city, which was something that not ordinary people could do.

Now the people in the Governor's City are actually trying to find out the appearance and personality of that crazy woman, which further confirms his guess.

The fact that the Governor-General would inquire about this meant that this woman's background was indeed extraordinary, a level that was enough to make the Governor-General feel wary. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Governor-General to inquire about this.

However, since the governor wanted to investigate, he did not dare to delay and reported immediately.

A moment later, in the central hall of the Governor's City, Jing Lei stood up again and reported the intelligence he had obtained.

Shouzhu listened carefully, tapping the armrest of the chair with one hand, and nodded after a while, "Don't worry about Yuanxicheng's affairs."

Jing Lei was immediately filled with curiosity: "Could it be that there is something going on between you and the city lord..."

Shouzhu glanced at him calmly and said, "You may be hot-tempered, but you must be careful with your words. You cannot speak carelessly about the city lord. I have only met her once. You just need to know that I cannot afford to offend her."

When Jing Lei heard this, his whole body froze.

He just took it for granted that his city lord had some entanglement with Yuan Xi, but now after listening to Shou Zhu's words, he realized that Yuan Xi's identity and status were beyond his ability to guess.

"Sir, could it be that this city lord is..." Jing Lei looked worried.

He is the deputy city lord of the Zhou-level Hedao City. There is only one person like him in the world, and his origin is something he cannot guess.

"It's good to know it in your heart." Shouzhu said calmly, and then frowned: "You didn't offend him, did you?"

Jing Lei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Probably... no." He and Yuan Xi had never met each other, so there was naturally no question of offending each other. It was only because of the destruction of Xiaoyue City that he sent the military supervisor on this trip. But the military supervisor had been killed, and he had no idea what he said before he died.

Since he was the one who sent out the military supervisor, he nominally represented him.

"You'd better not." Shouzhu glanced at him.

Jing Lei was a little panicked now. He hurriedly returned to his position and sent a message to the Desolate City again, asking in detail about the previous situation.

In the Desolate City, He Dao, who stayed behind, was scratching his head, unable to figure out what was going on in the Governor's City. He had just sent a message to ask Yuan Xi for the specific details, and now he came to inquire about what happened before.

City Lord Zhao had already gone back to rest. He Dao, who stayed behind, thought about it and then reported everything that had happened truthfully.

In the governor's city, Jing Lei was sweating even more profusely.

This is trouble.

The Yuanxi City was originally well hidden, but its location was exposed because of the military supervisors that he sent out. Then it was besieged by many Hedaos, the formation was destroyed, and the city was almost breached.

Moreover, it seemed that Yuan Xi was not in the city at that time. She only returned from the Hehe Realm at the very end, and one of her subordinates, He Dao, was injured.

It would be fine if he knew nothing about Yuan Xi, but now that he knew some of the situation, Jing Lei suddenly felt that the military supervisor really deserved to die. He was hiding so well, why did he have to force him out?
The key is in that environment.

It was still luck that Yuanxi City finally escaped. If it was unlucky and surrounded by enemies, I am afraid Yuanxi City would have been lost.

If Yuanxi City is gone, then he would probably be gone too.

What made Jing Lei most uneasy was that the military supervisor had specifically mentioned his name when he delivered the order!
Isn't this pushing him into the fire pit? Although he did send the person out, there is no need to mention it deliberately.

He now wished that the military supervisor could be brought back to life so that he could kill him a hundred times.

He looked up at Shouzhu and saw that the city lord had closed his eyes to rest. Jinglei felt sad. What should he do? (End of this chapter)
