It wasn't until there was no more monsters in sight that the soldiers, who had originally thought that the Snowy City in the Northern Territory had been doomed, came to their senses in surprise.
"The demon clan has retreated!"
"We win, we win!"
"we won!!!"
Up and down the city, cheers gradually sounded, and then spread farther and farther. After a while, almost the entire northern snowy city was boiling.
Many people cried with joy immediately after hearing the news and hugged each other.
The vast majority of the people in the city who had not encountered any danger happily ran out of their hiding places and celebrated with the beating of gongs and drums. Everyone's face was filled with jubilation and joy.
However, there were many people in the city who did not express much joy.
Especially the soldiers of the three major city guards of Snowy City who had been fighting bloody battles to the end.
In addition to the initial celebration and joy, the soldiers suddenly discovered that many familiar figures from their former comrades were missing from their side while they were running around to tell each other. Many iron-blooded men were already smiling and laughing. I couldn't help but burst into tears.
He never shed tears when he fought bloody battles with monsters, even when he was seriously injured. At this time, I finally won, but I found that the comrades and colleagues I had been with day and night were no longer there... The person I wanted to share the news of victory with the most could no longer hear the news of victory!
————
City Lord Li Jianyin's mood is also very complicated.
If the mysterious woman in white hadn't taken action, the outcome of this battle would have been doomed.
Although it was not too late for the woman in white to take action, the severity of the battle cannot be measured solely from the perspective of time.
Others don't know, but City Lord Li Jianyin knows it best.
In this short battle, the number of sergeants at Nascent Soul stage and below among the three major city guards in Snowy City in Northern Xinjiang has been reduced by more than 60% - more than half of them have died heroically, and the rest have varying degrees of serious injuries and disabilities. . Even among the remaining 40% of the troops, many people were more or less injured.
The generals who were in the god transformation stage and above suffered even greater losses. Generals such as Geng Liqiu, Meng Lei and other generals and deputy generals, as well as the chief general of the Snow Dragon Army, etc., lost more people than they could count on two hands...
This is only the unilateral loss of Snowy City in Northern Border. As for the reinforcements from Winter City and Frost City, as well as the losses of the monks from outside sects, Li Jianyin does not have very clear data in his mind at this moment.
Although it was a miserable victory, we still won in the end.
City Lord Li Jianyin raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. Regardless of his sentiments, he waved to the two generals in the god transformation stage and told them to go out of the city to see what was going on with the monsters, lest the monsters attack again with a false shot. , and arranged manpower to treat the wounded and clean the battlefield. After quickly explaining these things, he suddenly jumped up and unexpectedly. Jumped from the high city top.
Everyone around was startled by the actions of the city lord Li Jianyin. The two lieutenants beside them thought that the city lord could not think about it for a moment. They just took two steps forward and released the power of their spiritual consciousness to "fish" him back, but they saw the city lord Li Jianyin. He had already landed firmly on the ground outside the city, passed over the large round pit dozens of feet outside the city, and then walked a few steps to the woman in white, bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Fairy, for repelling the demon clan." , City Lord Li Jianyin, on behalf of the more than 300,000 people in the city, would like to thank the fairy for your help!"
"The city lord is polite, you don't have to be like this!" The woman in white saw from Li Jianyin's tearful eyes that what he said was not hypocritical politeness, and hurriedly put her hand towards Li Jianyin.
However, before the extended hand touched Li Jianyin, the figure of the woman in white suddenly shook, she turned her head and suddenly lifted the veil on her face, spitting out a mouthful of blood to the side.
The city lord Li Jianyin could not see the face of the woman in white clearly at first, but the moment she lifted the veil, he caught a glimpse of a peerless face, so beautiful that it seemed a little unreal, so beautiful that it made people look at it. It will never be forgotten again.
After the woman in white put down her veil after vomiting blood, and her face was once again blocked by a layer of hateful mist, Li Jianyin came back to his senses and asked with concern: "Fairy, are you injured?"
With that said, Li Jianyin took two steps forward and reached out to help him.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The woman in white waved her hand and took half a step back without leaving a trace, but the unfathomable and unfathomable aura on her body was revealed the moment she spurted out blood.
City Lord Li Jianyin was the closest, and he could truly feel that the aura of the woman in white seemed to have dropped rapidly from a state beyond the peak of the Void Refining Stage to near the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage just at that moment.
"Sister Fairy, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? When were you injured? Was it because Xiao Yuan didn't protect you well that you were injured?" Xiao Yuan, the sword spirit, used her unique soft and waxy voice to speak in her spiritual consciousness. Zhong asked anxiously.
"It's not you. It was me who was impatient and used more power than the limit in order to break the formation. In fact, it was already counterattacked by the power of heaven in the formation. In order to frighten the monsters away, I suppressed the injury and did not dare to show it. That's when he vomited blood." During the exchange of spiritual consciousness, the woman in white did not hide anything from Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan.
I saw a flash of light in the heart of City Lord Li Jianyin's eyebrows, and three small, moist green jade bottles flew out. Each jade bottle was also labeled with the name and efficacy of the elixir. He handed it over respectfully and said: "These They are all elixirs suitable for people who are practicing in the Void Refining Stage to heal wounds and restore mana. They are of excellent quality, please be sure to accept them, Fairy!"
"Then thank you City Master Li!" The woman in white nodded slightly, not politely, and put the three jade bottles into the purple space between her eyebrows.
"I see that the fairy is still somewhat unwell. If you don't mind, please come to my city lord's mansion for some training. I can guarantee to provide the fairy with the quietest and most comfortable environment for her to recover." The woman in white accepted the elixir. , City Lord Li Jianyin felt happy and hurriedly continued.
Unexpectedly, before the woman in white could say no, someone on the top of the city chanted a Buddha's name and roared loudly: "Shadowless Witch! Give me back my sect's treasure, the universe!"
Before he finished speaking, a fat monk jumped down from the top of the city like the city lord Li Jianyin, and approached the woman in white like the wind.
"Witch! Give me back my sect's treasure, the Escape Stone!" A long-bearded old man wearing a blue robe followed closely and jumped off the city wall.
"The phaseless female devil! Give me back my Yuan Magnetic Five Elements Plate!" A middle-aged man wearing a purple gold crown and pale gold armor also jumped out.
"Bold witch, return my sword and gallbladder orb!"
"Witch, give me back the Heavenly Demon Crystal!"
"Witch!..."
City Lord Li Jianyin turned around and looked around. Then he remembered the things that the woman in white had caused in the city before, and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
In the blink of an eye, there were already eleven Supreme Elders and Elder-level figures from various sects in the Void Refining Stage who jumped down from the city wall, including Supreme Elder Xiao Wuji of the Qiankun Sect, Tan Lin, the Great Elder of the Fuyun Sect, and Fu Sect's Grand Elder Tan Lin. Master Xuecheng, the elder, Yan Tianqi, the elder of the Tiandao Sect, Moyun, the supreme elder of the Tianmo Sect, etc.:...
Each of them is a big shot with status and status in each sect.
Each one of them is also the victim of a treasure that was robbed by the woman in white not long ago.
City Lord Li Jianyin saw the crowd approaching fiercely and went straight to the woman in white. He seemed to be ready to fight in a group without handing over the treasure. He hurriedly stepped forward to block the woman in white, stretched out his hands and waved repeatedly. : "Everyone, everyone! Wait a minute, wait a minute! If you have something to say, say it well. If you have something to say, say it well!"
"Huh, talk about it nicely? Let's talk about it nicely if we return our treasure. If we don't return it, what else is there to talk about?" Taoist Mo Yun, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, snorted coldly.
"Yes! If you don't return the treasure, how could it be stolen? How can we get it back!" Yan Tianqi, the elder of the Tiandao Sect, echoed.
"Amitabha! How good!" The fat monk who jumped down first, Master Xuecheng from the Buddhist sect, changed his expression at this time, smiled kindly, and said in awe, "The female donor just stepped in to help Xue Yucheng repelled the monster army, which is a great good. How can a person who can do such a great good become a villain who robs other people's treasures but refuses to return them? Haha, female donor, now that the beast tide has receded, please lend us I don’t think my treasures are of any use anymore, right? How about just returning them?"
After saying that, Master Xuecheng looked at the woman in white with a smile on his face, as if waiting for the woman in white to repent on the spot and return the treasure.
"No!" The woman in white stepped out from behind Li Jianyin, her eyes were burning, and she said in a deep voice, "Why haven't you come out to ask me for help before? It's because I saw my injured aura weakening, so I couldn't help it. Jumped out?"
Xiao Wuji, the supreme elder of the Qiankun Sect, shouted: "Witch! It's not your thing. If you take it by force, you're robbing it. Now that the victims are all here, do you still think you are justified?"
"The law of the jungle is the same as the past and present." The woman in white said solemnly, "Besides, when I promised you a heavy reward in exchange for treasures, you refused. Oh, by the way, there were a few who were willing, but how come they all suddenly regretted it? "
As she said that, the woman in white cast her eyes on the faces of several elders of the small sect. The backs of those people's necks felt chilly. Some of them raised their chests and raised their heads and said, "If it weren't for your intimidation and inducement at that time, , how can we exchange the sect's treasure with you? Why don't you return the treasure to us quickly?!"
"Haha, these are all your sect's treasures? You are all suffering masters. I robbed you, so you want me to give them back, huh?" The woman in white glanced at the eleven people in the Void Refining Stage one by one.
"That's natural!" Xiao Wuji said solemnly.
"Yes!" The rest of the people also said one after another.
"Okay!" The woman in white first stared at Xiao Wuji and said, "Qiankun Sect, Xiao Wuji, right? Did you refine the Yuanci Five Elements Disk?"
Xiao Wuji looked slightly pale, but he couldn't lie, so he could only shake his head and said: "I didn't refine it."
"If I remember correctly, there used to be a small sect called the Five Elements Sect, which was good at refining weapons. Thirty years ago, for some unknown reason, it was suddenly wiped out overnight. Legend has it that the treasure they had just sacrificed disappeared. Missing, have you ever heard of it?"
