"Old Qiu!" Zhou Yang and others were still far away from the explosion point of the spiritual light cannon. They only received some impact but were not injured. Seeing that the old man was knocked to the ground by the explosion, Zhou Yang and others hurriedly stepped forward to check.
However, after calling several times, Mr. Qiu didn't respond at all. Only the blood from the corner of his mouth was gurgling out.
"He's gone." Zhou Yang shook his head gently.
"Damn it, these damn bandits, beat the hell out of them!" Cui Kai's face turned livid with anger, he pulled out his mountain ax and rushed towards the city wall.
This old man gave him the impression of being very charitable. However, such an old man fell under the gunfire of bandits. How could he not be angry!
"Who is coming? Stop!" the soldiers on the city wall shouted sharply.
"Here to help you kill the enemy!" Cui Kai shouted.
"Where are you from? Which sect?" A voice of interrogation came from the watchtower.
"Come from Suiling City and go to the ten cities in the far north. I passed by here and came here to help you and others repel the enemy!" Cui Kai said in a loud voice.
"Ten cities in the far north? Let them come up!" A majestic voice came down from the watchtower.
"Yes, sir. Come up!" the soldier shouted.
"Boom!" Another explosion exploded not far away from Zhou Yang and others, and the shock wave knocked Murong Yue's two men away.
Fortunately, they were prepared and only suffered minor injuries.
"Go to the city!" Zhou Yang waved, and a dozen people rushed along the city wall and rushed to the tower.
"Sir, they are here!" The soldier entered the enemy tower to report.
"Bring them in." The majestic voice said again.
"yes."
The group of people was taken into the watchtower on the city wall.
Zhou Yang was the first to enter the enemy tower, but he saw a middle-aged man in gray clothes directly in front of him, looking out for the enemy. There were two heavy armor cultivators standing on each side of the middle-aged man.
"Which of the ten cities in the far north are you going to?" the middle-aged man said with his back to Zhou Yang and others.
"Junior will go back to Dingbeicheng." Zhou Yang answered truthfully.
"Dingbei? Which sect are you a disciple of? I'm afraid your position is not low!" The middle-aged man still did not turn around.
"Junior Zhou Yang, the law enforcement captain of Zhou Tianzong in Dingbeicheng."
"Law enforcement captain, not deacon?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised.
"Just Captain."
"Oh. Have you been to Anping City?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"Been there." Zhou Yang was shocked. How could he ask this question?
"Whoosh!" With a sound, a feather arrow hit the window of the enemy building, and the nail on it couldn't help but tremble.
"Sir, do you want to activate the protective formation?" said a person next to the middle-aged cultivator.
"It's not time yet." The middle-aged man waved his hand gently.
"The protective formation was not activated? No wonder the bandits' spiritual light cannons hit the city." Zhou Yang thought to himself.
"What a coincidence, I am also from the ten cities in the far north." While Zhou Yang was thinking about it, the middle-aged man in gray clothes said.
"Senior, are you also from Anping City?" Zhou Yang suddenly understood.
This man's surname was Meng, and he mentioned ten cities in the far north, especially Anping City. Could it be...
"Haha, you guessed right." The middle-aged man seemed to have understood Zhou Yang's guess a long time ago.
"You, you are Shopkeeper Meng Da!" Cui Kai and Xi Danjin screamed at the same time.
"Haha, it's a coincidence that we are fellow villagers. This also proves that we people in the far north are all true men who are passionate and willing to act for justice!" The middle-aged man turned around and laughed.
"Juniors, please see Senior Qing Xuzi!" Zhou Yang led everyone to bow and salute.
He never expected that he would meet Qing Xuzi, Meng Siquan, who was famous in the ten cities in the far north and was in charge of Anping Tongzhou Trading Company here.
It's like meeting an old friend in a foreign country and meeting acquaintances again.
"Haha, I have known Master Tiansha from your sect for many years, so I can take on the role of senior. By the way, are you also coming from Suiling City?" Qing Xuzi chuckled.
"Exactly."
"Well, Jiemeng is in trouble now. Although you and I are passers-by, it is the duty of cultivators to help each other and help those in need. We must work together with Jiemeng cultivators to fight against powerful enemies. We can only defeat these You can only leave after the bandit army. You came just in time. The troops in the West City are currently in short supply. You will form a small team soon to assist Commander Yao in taking charge of the defense of the West Gate." Qing Xuzi said sternly.
"Junior, please obey!" Zhou Yang and others responded in unison.
"Deputy Commander Liu Xi, take them to see Commander Yao." Qing Xuzi said to a cultivator at the peak of Tianyuan beside him.
"Yes, sir."
"Huh? The two golden elixir bandit masters are about to take action! Pass the order and activate the defensive formation immediately!" Qing Xuzi just finished giving orders, and suddenly frowned and ordered.
"Yes, I will send the order immediately!" A person beside Qing Xuzi responded in a deep voice. This person is one of the four commanders of Jiemeng City, Xie Ba, a fake elixir master.
"It's a pity that there are not enough fourth-grade spiritual stones. Otherwise, I would be sure to severely injure a golden elixir master." Qing Xuzi shook his head.
Zhou Yang had already turned around to leave, but after hearing these words, he couldn't help but stop. After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and said, "Senior Qing Xuzi, I still have two fourth-grade spiritual stones here. Is that enough?"
"Two yuan is still not enough, at least four yuan is missing. Forget it, I'm very happy that you have such a heart. Go ahead!" Qing Xuzi said with a smile.
However, he took a higher look at Zhou Yang. Two pieces of fourth-grade spiritual stones could be exchanged for three million first-grade spiritual stones, and the black market price was at least four million.
This man was actually willing to take it out. Although he was suspected of currying favor with himself, he took out four million spiritual stones without blinking an eye, which shows his generous character.
Zhou Yang was a little disappointed. If he could hit the golden elixir master hard, it might speed up the end of this war.
However, he once heard Liang Qiuhong say that a spiritual light cannon that could severely damage or even kill a golden elixir master would require at least a dozen fourth-grade spiritual stones.
"I, I still have two pieces here!" Zhou Yang was about to turn around and leave when he heard Cui Kai gritting his teeth.
Zhou Yang was stunned. Wasn't this guy's storage bag taken away?
Even before the accident, he couldn't even get out four third-grade spiritual stones. It turned out that he had hidden them privately. He really deserved a beating!
However, he somewhat admired Cui Kai's luck. He took great risks and killed a peak Tianyuan master to get two fourth-grade spiritual stones. This kid used some means to get two pieces. And it hasn't been taken away by thieves yet. It's true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.
Even Xi Danjin glanced at Cui Kai in surprise, thinking that this guy is quite rich!
"Oh, then bring it up quickly. With these four high-level spiritual stones of yours, I will definitely be able to severely injure a bandit! I will mark your great achievements afterwards, and Jiemeng City will also remember your great kindness. Yes!" Qing Xuzi was overjoyed when he heard this.
"This is what juniors and others should do." Cui Kai stopped gritting his teeth and puffed out his chest.
"Okay, okay! Go ahead."
"yes."
After getting off the tower, Cui Kai immediately put on a sad face and said to Zhou Yang in a heart-wrenching voice: "Boss, our six million, no, eight million spiritual stones are just gone!"
"The spirit stone is gone, but we can still make money back." There was another sentence he didn't say. Qing Xuzi's step forward seemed like a righteous act, but he was a businessman. How could a businessman do a loss-making business?
"Eight million, how can it be that easy!" Cui Kai's mouth twitched.
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly." Zhou Yang glared at this money-greedy guy.
Cui Kai felt guilty and did not dare to speak any more.
At this moment, the entire Jiemeng City suddenly shook, and a thin white mask appeared over the city, and strong spiritual energy fluctuations were emitted from the mask.
The city defense formation was finally opened.
"Hmph, if the city defense formation had been activated earlier, the spiritual light cannon would not have fallen on the city, and the old man would not have died!" Cui Kai said unhappily.
"You can't say that. Do you know how much energy it takes to activate the entire defensive array?" Liu Xi, who was leading the team, glanced at Cui Kai.
"How many?"
"Maintaining the formation for one hour will consume ten years of Jiemeng City's energy accumulation!"
"So many?" Cui Kai was surprised. After ten years of accumulation in the entire world, how many spiritual stones must there be.
"There are still so many spiritual light cannons that require a large amount of spiritual stones every day. Now there are not many spiritual stone reserves in the treasury. If we continue like this, the entire Jiemeng City will be emptied sooner or later!" Liu Xi shook his head. road.
This war is all about consumption.
Not long after the mask was formed, there was a loud explosion, and the white mask shook violently, as if it was about to break.
"It's the Bandit Lord's attack! Every time a golden elixir master attacks, he has to replenish his energy immediately. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed by the formation alone is not enough." Liu Xi frowned.
"I see."
The battle in the West City became more intense. The city wall was blown beyond recognition by the bandits' spiritual light cannons and could only barely hold on. The bodies of many cultivators were strewn across the city wall.
Fortunately, the city defense formation was activated again, otherwise the casualties would have been even greater.
"See Commander Yao!" Liu Xi led Zhou Yang and others to the enemy tower.
"Vice Commander Liu, you came just in time. I have suffered too many casualties here!" A tall cultivator was fretting over commanding the battle. When he saw Liu Xi and his people arriving, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"I have been ordered to bring people to support Commander Yao. This is Fellow Taoist Zhou, and this is Fellow Taoist Murong." Liu Xi introduced Zhou Yang and others to Commander Yao.
"Okay! It's great that they are all cultivators of Tianyuan and above, and there are also peak Tianyuan masters like Murong Daoist to help out!" Commander Yao cheered repeatedly, but his eyes mainly glanced at Murong Yue.
Murong Yue was a little embarrassed. His strength was far inferior to that of his boss. He glanced at Zhou Yang, who shook his head gently.
"By the way, Deputy Commander Liu, have you brought the spirit stone?" Commander Yao asked anxiously again.
"The Lingshi in the treasury is in urgent need. Didn't you see that the city defense formation has just been opened?" Liu Xi said helplessly.
"Didn't you demand payment from the merchants in the city?"
"That will take time!"
"Without the spirit stone, my cannon would become a display!" Commander Yao said dissatisfied.
"There is nothing I can do. If Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Cui hadn't generously donated their money, even that high-level spiritual light cannon would have become mute."
