saint of humanity

The crisis is not limited to these. If everything goes well, Yuan Xi only needs to hold on for a dozen breaths, and the city will have a chance to escape and lie dormant.

But the premise is that no one is chasing.

Now, two new Hedao cities suddenly appeared and were approaching head-on. As a result, there was no possibility for our city to escape from the enemy's sight, so there was naturally no question of us lying dormant.

Fortunately, the internal environment of this cold current hive is complex and interconnected, so when seeing the enemy approaching, Youdieli controlled the city to turn to a passage on the side, and Lingfeng City followed closely behind to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. However, this is ultimately a stopgap measure. If the Hedao people did not return to support in time, the two Hedao cities would eventually escape the fate of being broken.

"Changming! It's you!" Yuan Xi looked into the depths ahead with a cold gaze, as if able to penetrate the void, and let out a delicate cry.

Before, she only felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her in the dark, but she couldn't tell who it was until she felt that divine thought just now.

At this point, she finally confirmed what she was thinking.

In the distant Yingfei City, Changming, who had been hiding there, sighed secretly. If the original plan went well, Yuanxi City would have no place to escape and would definitely be breached. Then he would not be at risk of being exposed.

Even if Madam finds out about it later, that is after the fact. There is no need for Madam to see through it and face it directly like now.

If he was not unwilling to confront his wife face to face, given his strength, he would have taken action personally.

It's a pity that his plan finally encountered some twists and turns. Initially, the intelligence was wrong, and he missed out on a Hedao-level fighter from Yuanxi City, who also had the ability to kill the enemy, thus allowing Yuanxi City to open up the situation.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no idea that his wife has already unlocked the second form of the Taoist soldier. This is the most difficult thing.

Why didn't the adults mention this before... He complained in his heart, feeling that this trip was really a tough one.

Since he had been seen through, Chang Ming simply stopped hiding, and with his Dao power surging, he shouted from afar: "Madam, why are you doing this? Since you know it's me, you should know that resistance is useless. Madam, the master has ordered that you must be brought back this time no matter what. You have been outside for too long!"

Yuan Xi sneered: "If he wants me to go back, I will go back? Let him say it to my face and see if I agree or not!"

Chang Ming sighed again and said leisurely: "Madam, you are very powerful, but in this state, is your power... enough?"

Yuan Xi gritted her teeth and didn't answer, secretly cursing Changming in her heart. Her eyesight was still so sharp that she could see through her biggest weakness at a glance. But then again, Changming was knowledgeable and experienced, and her current weakness was no secret. It was normal for him to know it.

She tilted her head slightly, just in time to see Lu Ye's worried eyes, and said in a comforting tone: "Grand Commander, I'm afraid this city can't be saved. Go back and use your Dao pattern to return to this city and hide in the Hehe Realm. We will find a chance to make a comeback!"

As long as Lu Ye is there, she has hope of making a comeback. Think about how long it took her to build Yuanxi City from scratch and bring it to its current Hong-level level. So even if the city is breached today, it is nothing to her. It's nothing more than starting over again.

Lu Ye nodded and was about to respond, but his eyes suddenly turned to Zhao Lingfeng beside him and frowned, "City Lord Zhao?"

Zhao Lingfeng's eyes were full of struggle at the moment, but when he heard Lu Ye's voice, his expression suddenly became firm, and he slowly said: "Brother Lu, City Lord Yuan, I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gun suddenly stabbed towards Lu Ye.

Lu Yehun never expected that his allies would turn against him at this time, so he hastily drew his sword to block the attack, and sparks flew when the Taoist soldiers collided.

With his strength, he is able to deal with many Hedao, but not including Zhao Lingfeng who is at the city lord level.

After this blow, Lu Ye only felt his right arm go numb, the Panshan Knife almost flew out of his hand, his blood was surging, and his knuckles were cracked.

The whole person couldn't help but fly out.

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Lingfeng, what benefits did they promise you?"

How could he suddenly rebel at such a moment!
Things were already very clear. A divine thought had been spreading over before, and Lu Ye couldn't figure out who that divine thought came from and what it was for. Now it seemed that it must be the longevity that Yuan Xi mentioned. He probably secretly conveyed the message to Zhao Lingfeng and convinced the other party in such a short time.

Zhao Lingfeng's sudden attack was like a trigger. Almost at the moment he made his move, the Hedao people who had been standing in fear in front of him rushed over one after another. Although there was still fear in their brows, they were courageous because they relied on their numbers.

"Sorry, Zhao just wants to save my city!" After Zhao Lingfeng attacked, he retreated and did not intend to kill Lu Ye.

All the Hedao people in Lingfeng City were stunned.

Not only Lu Ye did not expect that his own city lord would defect, but they, his own people, were also unaware of it, so the current situation made them quite embarrassed.

The enemy has already attacked, so where should they stand? Fight alongside Yuan Xi as before? But since their own city lord has already taken action, are they still qualified to do so? Will Yuan Xi still trust them?
But if they were asked to take action against Yuan Xi and others, they were reluctant to do so. Regardless of the depth of their friendship, they were allies after all during this period of time, and Ling Feng City had indeed gained a lot from following Yuan Xi City.

It would be very rude to add insult to injury at a time like this.

During this moment of distraction, Yuan Xi had already flashed to Lu Ye's side, grabbed him, and called out to Lian and Huan Qing: "Hurry up!"

There were many people of the same sect behind him, chasing him fiercely.

Zhao Lingfeng only led his group of Hedao to stand there, with a tense expression and eyes full of vigilance. Although the person who secretly conveyed the message to him promised him something, it was still unclear whether the other party was trustworthy.

If more than thirty Hedao masters came at once at this moment, these seven or eight of them would not be able to resist at all.

Fortunately, Changming was really trustworthy. Many enemy troops passed by them, but they had no intention of making things difficult for them. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Zhao Lingfeng let out a long sigh.

"City Lord, what are you doing?" Beside him, Wu Mi looked at him angrily, and the other Hedao masters also had complicated expressions.

Zhao Lingfeng's actions just now were truly despicable, so even though he was the city lord, Wu Mi was not polite at this moment.

Zhao Lingfeng had no intention of explaining. He knew very well that the shot he just fired would most likely cause the Hedao people in the city to become disloyal. After all, he was treacherous. How could such a city lord be worthy of following?

But he had to do it.

Facing Wu Mi's questioning, he did not answer, but just looked in the distance at the direction where Changming's voice came from, and bowed his hands and said: "Sir, is this enough?"

Changming's voice came clearly: "Go away."

Zhao Lingfeng clasped his fists again and called out to everyone, "Let's talk about this after we get back."

If possible, he certainly didn't want to be a treacherous villain, but in the situation just now, if he didn't do it, he would inevitably face the fate of the city being destroyed and people being killed.

What's more, what Changming wanted him to do was very simple. He just had to strike first and then he could get away. He didn't want him to really fight to the death with Yuan Xicheng.

He knew the purpose of the other party's request. On the one hand, it was to undermine the support of Yuanxi City. Lingfeng City was the only ally of Yuanxi City at the moment. If Lingfeng City rebelled, Yuanxi City would be isolated and helpless.

Of course, the most important thing is to give the more than 30 Hedao people the upper hand.

The power Yuan Xi just displayed was too strong. Although more than 30 Hedao masters were outnumbered, they were still intimidated and dared not act rashly. In such a situation, Zhao Lingfeng's first attack could break the deadlock.

It was a very simple condition, but it could ensure the safety of his own city, so of course he was willing to accept it.

Thanks to the recent wars, his Hedao City is about to be promoted to the Hong level!
He still has a bright future, how can he ruin it here?
It's not that he doesn't know that Yuan Xi has a prominent background, but Chang Ming, who is in secret contact with him, also has an extraordinary identity. Compared with Yuan Xi, whose origin he can't figure out, he knows Chang Ming's origin very clearly.

He was bound to offend one of the two sides, and rather than seeing the city destroyed and people killed, losing his position as the city lord, or even dying here, he would of course choose what was more beneficial to him.

Zhao Lingfeng had already flown away. A group of Hedaoists behind him looked at each other in bewilderment. A few sighs were heard, and someone said, "The city lord must have been forced into this situation just now. Let's go. The city lord should give a reasonable explanation when we return."

Wu Mi looked indignant: "Even if I had to, how could I rebel at that critical moment?" At any time, traitors are more hateful than powerful enemies. Wu Mi did nothing, but was labeled a traitor just because of Zhao Lingfeng's shot. How could he feel at ease?

After saying that, he was the first to chase after Zhao Lingfeng: "I want to hear what the Lord City Lord's difficulties are!"

Seeing this, the other Hedao also sighed and followed suit. Many of them had already started to have second thoughts. Was there any need for them to continue staying in Hedao City?

Since Zhao Lingfeng could do such a thing to his allies today, will he abandon his subordinates in the future?
"Is the Grand Commander okay?" In the distance, Yuan Xi grabbed Lu Ye's arm and asked at lightning speed, concerned.

Behind him, Lian grabbed Huanqing's arm and followed closely, gently dancing with a pair of snow-white wings.

Lian was extremely fast. Yuan Xi was now wearing white armor, and his speed was even faster than Lian. So in just a few breaths, the four Hedao masters in this city left the pursuers far behind.

Lu Ye shook his head with a sullen face: "It's nothing, Zhao Lingfeng has no intention of killing me."

He could feel that Zhao Lingfeng did not use his full strength in that shot, and there was no murderous intent in it, it seemed like it was just a casual shot.

As he spoke, Lu Ye turned his head to look at Yuan Xi, only to see that the white armor on his city lord's body had begun to melt, slowly turning back into its previous black lotus state.

His expression changed, and he asked, "Sir, does your secret technique require a large amount of Taoist power to maintain?"

Since the beginning of the war, Yuan Xi's Taoist soldiers have changed their forms several times, and each time they only lasted for a short time. (End of this chapter)
