saint of humanity

The man hurriedly fled back to the city. Following his order, the protective formation was activated. A solid light curtain covered the city, making it seem impregnable.

The woman greeted: "My lord!"

The man turned around and looked in the direction he came from with a serious expression.

In that direction, the figure still stood there quietly, without any reaction.

"What happened just now?" the woman asked.

The man didn't hear her question at all, but at this moment, the warning in his heart was as strong as substance, and the only words "run away" kept echoing in his mind.

He was filled with disbelief. He had already returned to his Hedao City, and the protective formation had been activated. The other party was alone, so why could he still feel such a terrifying threat?

Just as he was thinking this, the lifeless figure slowly raised the sword in his hand.

Buzz...

The void shook, and the aura of the star abyss became chaotic.

Visible to the naked eye, countless tiny streams of light converged towards the long sword from all directions. Each stream of light was the condensation of Tao power in the void.

“This is…” The man’s eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the sudden vision in horror.

The woman beside him was also shocked.

The long sword was already raised high above the head, and the dazzling sword light was like the sun hanging high in the sky at this moment.

Such a magnificent vision gave rise to a terrifying thought in the minds of both the man and the woman.

"Hurry up and get into the formation!" As the man shouted, he and the woman had already hurriedly rushed into the city's formation. With their help, the already solid defensive formation became even more solid.

The next moment, the man holding the sword gently swung the sword in his hand towards Hedao City.

The sword light slashed down and landed on the light curtain of the Hedao City's formation. The solid light curtain was instantly severely damaged and the light suddenly dimmed.

The Hedao City was shaking continuously, and countless buildings collapsed. Many Rongdao were vomiting blood and injured, and some Hedao were screaming in fear.

After a stalemate of several breaths, the light curtain shattered like a bubble, and the sword light slashed the unprotected Hedao City, cutting this desolate-level city in half like cutting a piece of tofu!
In this moment, countless lives were lost.

Only a few figures flew out of Hedao City in a panic.

The man spat out blood, holding the unconscious woman in his arms, gritting his teeth and running away, his eyes bloodshot: "The most precious treasure... How could it be the most precious treasure!"

When the lifeless figure suddenly opened his eyes, he only felt a great sense of uneasiness. In fact, he himself did not understand where this uneasiness came from.

Even when he returned to Hedao City, he still hadn't figured it out.

Until the other party suddenly took action.

With just one strike, the Desolate-level city that he had worked hard to build for many years was cut open, and only a handful of cultivators in the city survived. With such terrifying power, even the ten city lords themselves could not do it with their own strength.

That was an explosion of the power of the treasure.

He had heard that in this vast world, many powerful people had captured precious treasures, but he had never seen one.

Before experiencing it personally, no one could imagine how terrifying the explosion of the power of the treasure would be.

What happened to that guy? He was standing there like a dead man. I didn't provoke him or cause any trouble. I just went over to take a look and this happened to me. It was simply an unprovoked disaster.

Also, who is that guy? He had never heard of such a fierce man appearing in the inner world before. According to his estimation, this fierce man is almost at the level of the ten city lords. If that is true, it is impossible for him to be so unknown.

He fled quickly, and the sense of crisis gradually disappeared, which undoubtedly indicated that the other party was not chasing him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then spat out another mouthful of blood. He lowered his head and looked into his arms, only to see that the pretty face had turned pale. He felt immediately distressed.

If he had known this, he would not have been so curious to take a look. But this one look revealed something really big!
Yuanxi City.

Youdie is healing, Huanqing is recuperating, Lian is new here, and Yuanxi has always been a hands-off manager.

Lu Ye had no choice but to temporarily take over Youdie's position and sit in the central hall.

Anyway, you can practice hard anywhere. As long as you are within the city, there is no difference between staying in the mansion and staying here.

It had only been a few days since the restoration. Lu Ye, who was practicing hard, heard a Rong Dao slave beside him report: "Sir, there is a message."

Lu Ye opened his eyes and looked towards the Hedao Pearl. Sure enough, he saw the light flickering on the Hedao Pearl.

He had never cared about this matter before, so he really didn't know how Hedaozhu would react when the message came. However, this slave has been here assisting Youdie, so he naturally knows this.

Standing up and walking forward, Lu Ye raised his hand and touched the Hedaozhu. His mind moved and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

After a moment, Yuan Xi, who had been summoned by him, asked, "General, is there anything going on?"

Lu Ye nodded: "The deputy city lord Jing Lei of Dudu City sent a message personally."

Yuan Xi frowned: "What is he going to do now!"

She didn't have the slightest favorable impression towards the Deputy City Lord Jing Lei. If he hadn't sent some military supervisor to expose the location of Yuanxi City last time, there wouldn't have been so many troubles afterwards.

Fortunately, he was sensible and made amends to Yuan Xicheng, otherwise Yuan Xicheng might really go to him to settle the score in person.

"This time it's not a bad thing. The Deputy City Lord Jinglei has given us a task."

"What mission?" Yuan Xi frowned.

"He gave us a location and asked us to set up an ambush there. We may get something unexpected within ten days."

Yuan Xi blinked and asked, "He didn't say anything specific?"

Lu Ye said: "He only said that at least two Heaven-level Hedao Cities must be mobilized to join forces. He didn't say anything else. Maybe he has some unspeakable hidden meaning."

"Is this a gesture of goodwill?"

"It's very obvious!" Lu Ye nodded. He thought so too.

Although Deputy City Lord Jing Lei had made some amends before, he was probably still very uneasy in his heart, so he made such a gesture of goodwill.

The Governor's City coordinates all matters of the entire war zone, and has a huge variety of intelligence sources. As the deputy city lord of the Governor's City, if he really wants to support a certain Hedao City, he is still capable of doing it.

But this kind of support also requires personal relationships. If there is no special reason, why would someone like Jing Lei specifically support a Hedao City?
Yuan Xi nodded: "This guy... is quite sensible. Send him a message. I can forgive what happened before. Tell him to be careful!"

"Exact words?"

"Of course!"

Lu Ye nodded and used the Hedaozhu to send a message.

In Shouzhu City, Jing Lei received the news from Yuanxi City and couldn't help but sigh. Although it was humiliating to be scolded like this, it was better than being hated by such a person. What's more, other people didn't know about this matter, and only the city lord Shouzhu knew a little, so there was no actual loss for him.

Jing Lei asked Yuanxi City to mobilize at least two Heaven-level or above Hedao Cities to join forces. Now there is only one Lingfeng City, and one Huang-level city is almost equivalent to two Heaven-level cities.

The ambush location was not too far from Yuanxi City's current location, only about three days' journey away, so after a short while, the two Hedao cities moved forward one after the other.

There were no problems along the way and we arrived at the destination after three days.

Youdie replaced Lu Ye, sat in the central hall, activated the secret technique of Mirage, and lay dormant.

Lu Ye checked the star map and found that this location was actually on the edge of the snowfield. He roughly understood why an ambush was set here.

I'm afraid that the enemy's Hedao City is about to pass through here and enter the snowfield, but the news somehow leaked out and was learned by Jing Lei, who then sent a message to Yuanxi City.

Lu Ye couldn't help but think of the time when Yuan Xicheng first entered the snowfield and was also ambushed.

I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or the enemy did it on purpose after getting the information.

Now the situation has changed, and it is Yuan Xicheng's turn to ambush others.

I waited quietly, and several days passed in a flash.

One day, Lu Ye, who was practicing hard, suddenly heard Youdie's voice: "Someone from Hedao City is coming, they are the enemy!"

Since Yuanxi City has obtained the power granted by the Governor City, it can easily distinguish between friend and foe within a certain range. This is a very convenient ability, because in this way, it can often gain the upper hand.

Lingfeng City was also lurking nearby. City Lord Zhao Lingfeng, Deputy City Lord Wu Mi and many other Hedao gathered together. Seeing a Hedao city coming into view, Zhao Lingfeng couldn't help but be shocked: "Sure enough, choosing to rely on Yuanxi City is a wise move!"

Many of the Hedao under his command nodded. In the world of cultivation, it is not shameful to rely on the strong. Yuanxi City is a bit small and there are fewer cultivators, but the city lord is powerful, the city is of high grade, and its origin is mysterious. It seems that it has connections with the Governor City.

Previously, Yuan Xicheng suddenly brought them here, and they were a little confused about the situation, but now they understood that Yuan Xicheng had obviously obtained some information from some source and knew in advance that enemies would come here, so he set an ambush here in advance.

As for where the information was obtained from... they could guess it without even having to think about it.

"Sir, do you want to take action?" You Hedao asked, "Judging from its size, it should be just a heavenly city."

Lingfeng City can take over a Hedao City like this on its own without Yuanxi City’s intervention.

Zhao Lingfeng shook his head: "Wait for the order from Yuanxi City!" After thinking for a while, he warned: "In the future, don't judge others' ranks arbitrarily based on the size of the city."

Yuanxi City is the best example. Anyone who sees that small city would never think that it is a huge city!

At the same time, in Yuanxi City, Lu Ye and others were also observing.

"That's it?" Yuan Xi showed a dissatisfied look. Jing Lei asked her to mobilize at least two Heaven-level cities to join forces. She thought the enemy was at least a Wilderness-level city, but who knew the result would be like this.

She inexplicably felt as if she had been fooled by the thunder, which undoubtedly made her very disappointed. When she was disappointed, she would be angry!
Beside her, Lu Ye silently felt sad for Jing Lei. If he wanted to show goodwill, he should be more cautious. At the very least, the news should be accurate. Now, all Jing Lei's efforts have become futile.

"Let Lingfeng City take action. You, the Grand Commander, are free to join the battle." Yuan Xi said sullenly.

Under normal circumstances, Yuan Xi would be enthusiastic about attacking a city of earth level, let alone a heavenly level city. However, the conflict between hope and reality made her lose the desire to attack. (End of this chapter)
