saint of humanity

The withdrawal of Fellow Daoist Chang, the Lord of the Wilderness-level City, undoubtedly meant the enemy's complete defeat in this battle.

In various battle groups, those who were able to break away from their opponents retreated and fled in all directions.

But there are those who cannot escape, like Yuan Xi's opponent at the moment, Fellow Daoist Ning, who has no hope of escape.

He had originally teamed up with one of his companions to fight against Yuan Xi, but that companion was killed in a very short time. Now he was alone and was no match for the opponent. He was in danger in just a few breaths.

"Owner, please go to Hedao City over there quickly. We can't let them have the chance to break the Hedao Pearl!"

Lu Ye suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Lian was originally rushing towards the nearby battlefield, but after hearing Lu Ye's words, she turned around and rushed towards the desolate city.

The past experience is a lesson for the future. Just now, the Hedaozhu of the Tian-level city was broken by someone, and now this Huang-level city cannot make the same mistake again.

If no one goes over to put pressure on them, the enemy might really do so, because even if the Hedao Pearl is broken, there is still a chance that they can use the fragments to escape into the Hehe Realm.

But if Lian rushed over to act as a deterrent, it would be different.

Once the Hedao Pearl is broken, the already fragile protective formation will inevitably collapse. By then, no matter who breaks the Hedao Pearl, Lian has the ability to leave that person behind to die.

In order to protect their own lives, the monks in the city will probably not make any irrational choices.

Lian was incredibly fast and arrived in front of the city in the blink of an eye, her beautiful eyes fixed on the location of the central hall.

Inside the hall, there was still an enemy Hedao guarding the place. He raised his big hand and placed it on the Hedao Pearl, as if he was about to take a shot!
However, after feeling the breath of lotus outside the city, he finally did not dare to really take action. Although it felt great to slap it with his palm, the question was whether he could escape.

He sighed deeply, feeling that he had failed the city lord's trust. When Fellow Daoist Chang was retreating, he had ordered him to break the Hedao Pearl, but now that things had come to this, he could only save himself first.

The big hand gently stroked the Hedao Pearl, and the figure suddenly disappeared.

"Bitch, you shall not die a hapless death!" A loud shout resounded through the void. Fellow Daoist Ning was covered in blood, with disheveled hair. He no longer had the demeanor of a city lord and looked extremely embarrassed.

In this battle, Hedao City was lost, and most of his subordinates, Hedao, were nearly killed in the battle. Now even his own life was in danger. His fate was turned upside down in one day, and even Hedao found it hard to accept it.

Yuan Xi had an indifferent expression, black petals fluttered beside her, sweeping forward and cutting through the void.

The gap in strength was so huge that Fellow Daoist Ning could not resist at all. His protective power was broken in the blink of an eye. Although he tried to make up for it with his power, Yuan Xi's attack was continuous and everything he did was in vain.

The roar stopped abruptly, the body stiffened, and a knife tip pierced into the back of the head and came out of the mouth.

The Taoist force on the knife suddenly surged, and Brother Ning groaned, his mouth full of blood.

The blade glowed with a brilliant light, and when it was pulled out diagonally, half of the head flew out.

Before his life force was completely annihilated, countless black petals swept in, gathering into a tide of flowers that enveloped him. When the tide of flowers dissipated, Fellow Daoist Ning had become a pile of torn pieces.

Yuan Xi was undoubtedly very annoyed at being scolded like that. If she hadn't seen Lu Ye running towards her, she would have taken his life with her own hands instead of venting her anger afterwards.

With the death of Fellow Daoist Ning, the war gradually subsided.

Lu Ye put away his sword and turned around to look, only to see that many Hedao around him had disappeared. The enemy's Hedao had just escaped, and City Lord Zhao and others were chasing them.

As for whether there will be any results, it depends on how determined they are to kill the enemy.

In this battle, the enemy suffered heavy losses. If City Lord Zhao and others really wanted to expand the results of the battle, they could have killed a few more of them.

However, judging from City Lord Zhao's previous behavior, this so-called pursuit was probably just a pretense.

Yuan Xi had no intention of continuing the pursuit. What interested her most was the enemy's Hedaozhu. She immediately winked at Lu Ye and led him towards the deserted city.

Lian is attacking the city...

In the desolate city in front of him, all the cultivators had fled, leaving only a very fragile protective formation that no one was maintaining.

So when Yuan Xi and Lu Ye arrived, the formation was already crumbling.

Yuan Xi and Lu Ye attacked together again, and in just a dozen breaths, the formation was broken.

Three figures entered one after another.

In the central hall, Yuan Xi looked at the bright Hedao Pearl in front of him with a smile on his face and called out, "General, hurry up, that Zhao guy seems to be coming back soon."

Lian stood aside, staring at Lu Ye with her beautiful eyes. She had learned from Yuan Xi about the magical power of Lu Ye's skills and had long wanted to see it with her own eyes, so she naturally did not want to miss it.

Lu Ye nodded, stepped forward, and punched the Hedaozhu without hesitation.

The bright Hedao Pearl shattered into countless tiny pieces. Before those pieces could disappear into the darkness, Lu Ye raised his hand and clenched it.

Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment, and all the fragments were suspended in mid-air, unable to move.

Lian's red lips parted slightly, her face full of disbelief.

Although she has lived in the Hehe Realm for many years, she has cultivated herself up step by step from the bottom. Many years ago, she also owned her own Hedao City, and she had fought countless battles of siege and being attacked. Naturally, she knew what kind of scene should appear after the Hedao Pearl was broken.

What she saw was beyond her understanding, and in her attention and perception, Lu Ye did not actually do anything special.

He simply clenched his hands, and all the fragments moved as if they obeyed his command. It was incredible.

"Collect it quickly!"

While Lian was in a daze, Lu Ye and Yuan Xi had already acted together, skillfully collecting the many fragments, and even dividing them into two.

One portion is a lot, one portion is very little.

Lian initially didn't understand why it had to be divided into two parts, but after seeing the smaller part, she suddenly remembered that Lu Ye had promised City Lord Zhao that after the city was captured, 30% of the profits would belong to him.

Under normal circumstances, after the Hedaozhu of a desolate-level city is broken, 30% of the profit is indeed only that much.

Thinking of the skill of the master and his subordinate just now, Lian couldn't help but laugh. It was either that they had a tacit understanding, or they had cooperated like this before, so there was no need for too many words.

Obviously the latter.

"Retreat!" Yuan Xi shouted, and the three of them hurried out of the city like thieves who had stolen someone else's treasure, and headed towards Yuan Xi City.

From afar, Lu Ye saw City Lord Zhao and others returning together.

This group of guys really didn't kill them all, otherwise the war wouldn't have ended so quickly. The reason for this was that, on the one hand, they had no hatred against Fellow Daoist Chang and the others, it was just their different positions that led to this war, and on the other hand, they were probably thinking about the benefits after the war.

"City Lord Yuan!" City Lord Zhao shouted from afar.

"I can't hear it, I can't hear it!" Yuan Xi muttered softly and flew faster. She didn't want to embezzle the share that belonged to City Lord Zhao, but just wanted to quickly integrate her own share into the Hedao Pearl of Yuan Xi City.

It's like a gambler who wins money and is eager to put it in the pocket.

Moreover, if he didn't put away all these fragments of the Hedao Pearl quickly with him, City Lord Zhao and the others would most likely find out something.

Youdie has already driven Yuanxicheng over to provide support.

After a moment, the three entered the city and headed straight for the central hall.

Yuan Xi hurriedly integrated the many fragments into it. Lu Ye took another fragment from Fan Wu. It was from the previous Heavenly Grade Hedao City, but the number of fragments in this one was obviously much less.

After many fragments were integrated, the Hedao Pearl in front of him seemed to have some changes, but they were not obvious.

It is already a Hong-level Hedaozhu, and it will not be so easy to raise the quality to a higher level.

"City Lord Yuan, can we enter the city?" City Lord Zhao's voice came from outside, sounding a little urgent. He obviously misunderstood something and thought Yuan Xi was going to go back on his word, otherwise why would he be in such a hurry just now and not respond.

"Of course, Xiaodie, start the formation!" Yuan Xi gave an order and led Lu Ye and Lian Chao outside.

After a while, the two sides gathered at the square in the city.

City Lord Zhao and others were all amazed. Even though they already knew that Yuanxi City was a huge city, it was still hard to believe unless they experienced it for themselves.

The main reason is that the scale of this city is too inconsistent with its level.

City Lord Zhao simply couldn't understand how Yuan Xi managed to build such a small city into this state with just the few men under his command.

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoist." Yuan Xi was in a good mood and tilted his head to signal. Lu Ye immediately stepped forward and handed over the fragment of the Hedao Pearl that he had prepared in advance: "City Lord Zhao, this is the spoils of war that we agreed on before."

City Lord Zhao raised his brows.

Beside him, the man surnamed Wu who had been to Yuanxi City once stepped forward to take it and said to Lu Ye with a smile: "Thank you very much."

Lu Ye said nothing and retreated behind Yuan Xi.

The main reason why City Lord Zhao came here this time was to ask for the fragments of the Hedao Pearl. For them, the 30% profit from conquering a desolate-level city is very objective and rare. Although they did not take much risk this time, what belongs to them is theirs.

Now that the goal has been achieved, I am naturally happy.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, there should still be a lot of spoils in the city. What I mean is that we should each send some people to collect them, and then divide the profits according to what we agreed on before?" City Lord Zhao looked at Yuan Xi and said.

"No problem!" Yuan Xi nodded readily. Now that she had obtained the fragments of the Hedaozhu, everything else was secondary, so she was particularly easy to talk to at the moment.

"Also, I want to discuss another matter with you." City Lord Zhao's eyes were burning.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Xi was puzzled.

City Lord Zhao said bluntly: "This battle was a great pleasure for me to cooperate with you, so I want to make my city subordinate to you, so that we can advance and retreat together, share happiness and hardships together. What do you think?" (End of this chapter)
