saint of humanity

In Hedao City, Fellow Daoist Ning's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "How dare you to attack me!"

His city has been breached, and at this moment he wished he could skin Yuan Xi and the others alive to vent his hatred. He thought Yuan Xi would stop while he was ahead and retreat, and he secretly hated that he had no chance of revenge, but the opportunity came in the blink of an eye.

On the side, Fellow Daoist Chang, the Lord of the Wilderness Level City, could not help but sneer: "Do you really think we are soft persimmons that can be easily squeezed?"

Outside the city, he was restricted and unable to move freely, but now he had to retreat into the city. If the city was still breached, then all his years as the city lord would have been in vain.

"If they want to fight, then fight with them. Find a chance to defeat the enemy, strike back and avenge Brother Ning!" He immediately raised his arms and called out, and all the heroes of Hedao under his command were infuriated, especially Brother Ning and the other four new followers, who were even more murderous.

Only a moment later, the war broke out again. Yuan Xi took the lead, with the power of Tao surging, and attacked the opponent's city defense formation wildly. Lian and Lu Ye followed closely on both sides.

City Lord Zhao also led all his troops to join the battlefield. In an instant, outside the enemy's deserted city, the aura of the star abyss was boiling like a handful of salt sprinkled in an oil pan.

Although City Lord Zhao and others were unwilling to put in great effort, Yuan Xi was right beside them at the moment, so they were somewhat helpless and did not want to be too obviously lazy.

In this stalemate of attack, Lu Ye soon discovered the weakness of the attacker.

The desolate-level city in front of them is different from Yuanxi City. Both the Rong Dao and He Dao have abundant manpower, so even if it has been under siege, the formation can remain stable.

Such a confrontation would consume the spiritual power of both sides, and it is very likely that in the end it would be a situation where no one would be happy.

But Yuan Xi had no intention of stopping. As time passed, his offensive not only did not weaken, but became even more violent. When the black lotus blossomed, a magnificent vision appeared, and ripples appeared on the light curtain of the disturbing formation.

The enemy had also been looking for an opportunity to defeat them, but unfortunately, both the three people from Yuanxi City and City Lord Zhao and others were extremely cautious and did not reveal any flaws at all.

As time passed, City Lord Zhao and others showed impatience, and the enemy's Huang-level City Lord also felt a little uncomfortable.

A normal person facing such a situation would have retreated, because continuing to fight would be futile, but Yuan Xi refused to retreat.

With a long sigh, Fellow Daoist Chang said, "Fellow Daoist, to be honest, none of us have been injured or killed, so why should we force each other so hard?"

Of the six Hedao cities that initially gathered here, two of the Heavenly Grade were destroyed. Although the remaining four were fighting fiercely, there have been no casualties until now.

So he felt that there was no need for Yuan Xi to hold on like a mad dog.

Yuan Xi was waiting for this sentence. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "Want us to retreat? That's easy. Hand over that guy!"

As she spoke, she pointed at a dark-faced man.

The big man was the Hedao who stayed behind in Tianji City, and the Hedao Pearl was also broken by the means he left behind.

The so-called siege was just a cover. Yuan Xi also knew that she couldn't take this desolate city. She actually had only one goal, which was to kill this guy.

Firstly, she was angry, and secondly, she had said something harsh before.

Since we have said that he should have no place to stand in the inner world, we must do it.

The big man had an innocent expression on his face. Although he was the one who broke the Hedao Pearl, he was only following orders. Why did he get targeted by this crazy woman?

"You are overthinking it!" Daoist Chang shook his head slowly.

Not to mention that the big man was a recent surrender under Fellow Daoist Ning, even if he was really his original subordinate, he would not agree to Yuan Xi's ridiculous request.

If you can't protect your subordinates well, how can you be a qualified Lord of Hedao City?

"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and attacked more fiercely.

Lu Ye silently contributed his strength. At this moment, Lian's voice suddenly came to his ear: "Grand Commander, think of a way to make a big thing small. Yuan Xi is in a dilemma."

"Hmm?" Lu Ye frowned and turned to look at Yuan Xi. He saw that although her expression was fierce, her eyes were rolling around.

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

If Lian hadn't said it, he wouldn't have realized this problem. Now he realized that his city lord seemed to be in a difficult situation.

She had just led a group of people to attack them aggressively, and demanded that the big man be handed over. If she couldn't do anything, it would be difficult for her to retreat.

Lian sighed, "After so many years, she is still so impatient. She heard that it was just rain, and she didn't consider the consequences at all. But she is the city lord after all, so she has to save some face. What do you think, Grand Commander?"

"I understand!" Lu Ye nodded.

It would be easy to let Yuan Xi retreat naturally. He only had to pretend to be injured by the enemy, and then Yuan Xi could use this as an excuse to take him back.

In this way, Yuan Xi's face will not be damaged much.

Just as he was about to do so, another voice came from his ear: "Brother Ye, please come back first. Fan Wu said he has something important to report."

Lu Ye said: "Let him wait a moment."

No matter what important matters are in the city, they are not as important as the reputation of the city lord.

Youdie said: "Fan Wu said that he might have a plan to break into the city!"

"Oh?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard that, very surprised.

Although Fan Wu is old and experienced, he is only a Rong Dao after all. This group of He Dao have no good way to deal with the Desolate Level City in front of them, so what plan can he have to break the city?
But since Youdie sent a message at such a critical moment, it means that Fan Wu is still quite confident about this matter, otherwise he would not have mentioned it at this time.

If the city could really be broken, then Yuan Xi’s current problem would not be a problem.

"Master, I'm going back to the city!" Lu Ye said, and immediately left the battlefield.

Lian was completely confused by him and had no idea what Lu Ye was going to do. In such a situation, it was not appropriate to ask too much. She just thought that Lu Ye had thought of some way to solve Yuan Xi's embarrassment.

After retreating for a distance, Lu Ye activated the Void Dao Pattern, and the next moment, he appeared in front of the central hall.

After a quick check, he found Fan Wu standing by the Taoist pond, looking at the mist in front of him thoughtfully.

Flashing to the side of the Taoist pond, Fan Wu looked up and said, "Grand Commander."

Lu Ye nodded: "Youdie said you have a plan to break into the city? How confident are you?"

Fan Wu shook his head and said, "I don't know how confident I am, but I might as well give it a try. Before that, I have to confirm one thing first. Is the Grand Commander really not afraid of Lianzi's poison?"

"Of course." Lu Ye nodded and asked in confusion: "Could this strategy of breaking the city have anything to do with Lianzi?"

Otherwise, why would Fan Wu suddenly mention Lian Zi at this time?
"Indeed, it is related." Fan Wu stroked his beard. "Many years ago, I saw a record in a broken book that said someone had used the lotus poison to break the protective formation of a universe-level Hedao city."

"Zhou level!" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.

The defensive formation of a desert-level city in front of him was already so difficult to deal with, let alone the universe-level one. If the Lianzi poison could break the universe-level one, wouldn't it be easy to break the desert-level one?

"The lotus poison is the most destructive to the power of Tao. The fundamental basis of the protective formation of Hedao City is the condensation of the power of Tao. So I think the lotus poison may have a miraculous effect of restraining it. Would you like to try it, Grand Commander?" Fan Wu looked at Lu Ye and asked.

He also had a sudden idea, because he had been watching the war over there in his city, and seeing that the war was intense and the city lord and others had not made any progress, he suddenly remembered this matter.

But he couldn't be sure whether it would succeed or not.

"How exactly should we do it?" Lu Ye became interested. If Lianzai's poison was really so effective, wouldn't it be easy to capture cities and strongholds in the future?
I originally thought that this thing could only increase the production of Taoist fish in the Taoist pond, but who would have thought it had this use? It's really a pleasant surprise.

"I'm not sure." Fan Wu shook his head. "This may require the Grand Commander to figure it out on his own, because the records in the books I read back then were not complete and were mostly incomplete. There were only brief mentions of this matter."

"Then give it a try!" As he spoke, Lu Ye stretched out his hand and reached into the Taoist pool.

Amid the surging mist, Lianzi, who had just been thrown in here not long ago, was swimming in it like a fish, and was completely unaware when Lu Ye picked him up.

The moment they touched each other, the talent tree reacted violently again, and thick smoke rose up.

Even though it was not the first time he saw it, Lu Ye couldn't help but be amazed.

Carrying little Lianzai, Lu Ye rushed towards the battlefield at lightning speed. Although he was not afraid of Lianzai's poison, the longer he was in contact with this thing, the more fuel his talent tree would consume, which was a loss for him.

A moment later, when Lu Ye rushed back to the battlefield, Lian looked at him first, staring at the thing in his hand: "This is Lianzi..."

Even the owner of Jinrui Tower, she had never seen him in person.

"But why did you bring it out?" Lian really couldn't understand how Lu Ye was going to use Lianzi to solve Yuanxi's problem.

"Fan Wu said this thing can break the formation." Lu Ye explained, "Please help me, host."

Lian Xin understood and immediately protected Lu Ye.

The two men quickly approached the city defense formation, and Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed Lian Zi against the light curtain of the formation.

In an instant, ripples appeared at the point of contact, surging wildly in all directions like waves.

Lu Ye’s eyes lit up when he saw it. This little thing... can really break the formation!

Because the effect in front of him is almost the same as the result of Yuan Xi's all-out attack, but Lian Zi can achieve this miraculous effect just by sticking to the light curtain. If he keeps sticking to it, it means that Yuan Xi is continuously attacking this position.

As long as it lasts long enough, it will be able to create a gap in the protective formation.

No need to consume any spiritual energy!
However, the idea was good. The cultivators in the city would not allow Lu Ye to maintain this posture all the time, because there were always offensive counterattacks in the city. The protective formation only defended against the outside and not the inside. People outside could not get in, but those inside could fight back.

So when they saw something unusual happening here, the monks in the city immediately activated their formations and attacked wildly. (End of this chapter)
