"Since Little Friend Lu is not dead and Old Ghost Teng has brought the three Yao brothers, Gangnancheng is only slightly stronger than before. With Little Friend Lu here, the chances of resisting Sword Sect and Huanyue Valley are also much higher."
"Wait a minute, Lord of the City, why are you counting me?" Lu Chen was cursed one after another to the point of vomiting blood, so he hurriedly asked. He was only a fifth-level warrior, and most of the guards were much better than him.
"Little friend Lu, the seven city lords died in your hands, as well as the five city lords. This method is no weaker than any of us."
The shrew glared at Lu Chen angrily, saying that the Seven City Lords would let it go, but they still had some grudges about the death of Lao Wu.
"Everyone, you were all around when the five city lords fell. What does that have to do with me?" Lu Chen looked aggrieved.
"Well, it doesn't matter. I heard the fourth city lord said this. The fifth city lord had a fight with you, and then he died!" Old Ghost Teng said after a moment of silence. As soon as the words came out, the entire hall fell silent.
"Fuck you, uncle, it's his own fate!" Lu Chen was a little crazy.
"Well, it was only because of bad luck that he died after having a fight!" Old Ghost Teng was still calm and thoughtful, which made Lu Chen's teeth itch with anger.
"Teng Laogui, don't fall into my hands, otherwise..."
"Wait a minute, Master Lu, I won't quarrel with you!"
"Hahaha..." Loud laughter rang out in the hall, only Lu Chen looked helpless.
"Okay, everyone is laughing, let's think about how to deal with the coalition forces of Sword Sect and Huanyue Valley!"
As soon as the big city lord said this, the laughter disappeared, and everyone looked solemn.
The Jian Zong was almost the most powerful existence in the Da Luo Dynasty. Even the Da Luo royal family had to give in. It would be easy for such a force to wipe out a Gangnan city.
Huanyue Valley is even worse. It has a good reputation in the entire southwest region, and its strength can be compared with Lu's Xifu. Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, Huanyue Valley and the Lu family have relatively high capital. It is a pity that after so many years When we came down, Huanyue Valley had long since declined, and we could only make deals with forces like Lu's Xifu.
However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Today's Huanyue Valley is still not something Gangnan City can resist. After all, how can a force that has been able to stand outside the Shiwan Mountain for so many years have such little ability on the surface.
"Jian Zong doesn't mean what the top leaders of Jian Zong mean, so there's no need to worry." Lu Chen's voice suddenly sounded in the silent lobby.
"Oh? Why did Mr. Lu say this?" Old Ghost Teng was delighted when he heard this.
These words coming from Lu Chen's mouth are naturally very credible. Without the Sword Sect, Huanyue Valley will not have many people coming even if they come. After all, this is the territory of the Da Luo Dynasty, and Huanyue Valley can launch a large-scale attack. It's a violation.
"The Seventh City Lord said before he died that Jian Zong came here firstly to explore the truth, and secondly because Bai Yuying wanted to get married to her fingertips, and now she wants to kill me, so even if Jian Zong comes, he will not come here. Maybe they are too strong disciples. Even if Huanyue Valley takes care of the Da Luo Dynasty now, they may be overwhelmed by powerful enemies. After all, the Da Luo royal family is too weak compared to Huanyue Valley."
"Haha, little friend Lu, there is no need to worry. Lingtian Continent has its own rules. Although it is roughly divided into five or nine domains, there is an invisible empire division among the major empires. There are also three or six empires. Ninth level, and the Da Luo Dynasty is only the lower ninth level, no matter how strong Huanyue Valley is, they would not dare to attack in a large scale."
Hearing that the incoming Jian Zong would not be too strong, Old Ghost Teng was overjoyed and did not take Huanyue Valley to heart at all, which puzzled Lu Chen.
"Oh?" Seeing Old Ghost Teng relax and look around, everyone seemed to be relieved. Lu Chen was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask for advice.
It turns out that in addition to the so-called geographical divisions, the Lingtian Continent is also divided by power, but no one usually wants to mention it. Many big powers occupy the mountains and draw the land as their kings, and some of them are even as powerful as the most powerful empire.
Not to mention these, there are some of the most powerful empires on the mainland. For example, the Great Xia Dynasty is the top existence among the empires. Under the Great Xia Dynasty, countless medium-sized empires were born, and the medium-sized empires sheltered countless of inferior empire.
Although they are all empires, no matter in terms of strength or geography, the upper, middle and lower emperors
The gap between countries is as big as heaven and earth, and the Da Luo Dynasty is nothing more than a dynasty protected by an inferior empire.
Old Ghost Teng said this, and Lu Chen also understood a lot about it.
"So, if Huanyue Valley launches a large-scale attack on Gangnan City, the empire that protects the Great Luo Dynasty will not sit idly by and ignore it. This is a matter of face after all. What if Huanyue Valley goes to war even if it risks offending an empire?"
"Huanyue Valley won't do it because they don't have time. Otherwise, do you think you can survive until now?"
When the shrew spoke, Lu Chen was even more confused, and his face was quite embarrassed. He thought that he had done nothing to kill a candidate for Valley Master in Huanyue Valley, but now it seems that everyone who knows him seems to have done something wrong. It was guessed that the people in Huanyue Valley were killed by themselves.
"Huanyue Valley has been busy with a big thing in recent years, so naturally I don't have time to talk to you. If that thing comes to pass, Huanyue Valley may have the ability to compete with the Lu family, so you better be careful." The shrew said with a solemn expression.
Lu Chen had a strange look on his face when he heard this. This kind of thing must be an extremely secret matter. How did the shrew know about it? However, Lu Chen naturally would not ask in this situation and just nodded.
"So, everyone can still defend Gangnan City."
"Report to several city lords. The spies reported that there are a large number of monks coming quickly from thousands of miles away."
The Great City Lord waved his hand, "I didn't expect these guys to come so fast."
"Hehe, this is a good thing. Coming here so quickly must be the Sword Sect coming alone. Huanyue Valley is a long way away. Whether he will come here or not is a matter of doubt. In addition to the news that little friend Lu has received, I don't think it's better..."
Having said this, Old Ghost Teng smiled strangely, and the skin on his bones wrinkled, making everyone tremble.
Hundreds of miles away from Gangnan City, a group of nearly a hundred people came quickly on dragons and horses. The group was full of evil spirits and did not look like monks at all. Especially those who were wearing different clothes seemed to be deliberately trying to conceal their identities.
"There are still several hundred miles to reach the boundary of Gangnan City. Brothers and sisters, have a good rest. Once we get here, the spies from Gangnan City may also know that we are coming. I hope this disguise will not arouse their suspicion."
"Senior brother, why does our Sword Sect need to be so secretive in our actions? Isn't it possible that the mighty Sword Sect is still afraid of a small Gangnan City?"
"Junior brother, this time we came under the order of Second Senior Sister. This matter is something that the sect master is opposed to. If the sect master hadn't been away from the Sword Sect during this period, do you think we would dare to go down the mountain?" The leading senior brother scolded and looked around. Then he looked back at the junior brothers who had stopped to rest.
"This operation is extremely secretive. Firstly, don't expose your identity, and secondly, save your own lives. Otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone to return to the sect."
"Yes, Senior Brother Xiao!"
After the leader, Senior Brother Xiao, finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was quite worried in his heart. He always felt that this time things were not that simple.
"Everyone, hurry up and get some rest. After tonight, we will retreat as soon as we capture Lu Chen."
Night soon descended on this peaceful wilderness, and the surroundings were very quiet. Even the insects that often sounded at night disappeared, which made Senior Brother Xiao feel even more uneasy.
"Senior Brother Xiao, you go and have a rest. I'll take my place here. Don't worry too much. After all, there are so many of us. We just want to capture one Lu Chen. As for the attack on Gangnan City, we must wait until the sect leader comes back. I will decide.”
"Well, be careful. Although this place is still a long way from Gangnan City, their territory is not far ahead. I have been feeling very uneasy. I will bring my two junior brothers here in two hours."
"Well, senior brother, go and have a rest!"
Senior brother Xiao patted this junior brother on the shoulder, turned around and got into the tent. This junior brother did his duty and walked around the resting place, then stared at a giant tree, and several rising and falling figures disappeared. In the canopy, as soon as they entered the canopy, the entire giant tree shook suddenly, and then became quiet after a while.
Two hours passed quickly. Senior Brother Xiao stood up and woke up the two junior brothers, "You go and change Junior Brother Ning, be careful!"
The two nodded, put on their clothes and got out of the tent. They looked around but didn't find Senior Brother Ning. "Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Ning."
Brother is missing! "
"What?" Brother Xiao, who had just closed his eyes, had a flash of uncertainty in his heart. The figure appeared outside the camp. Looking at the empty surroundings, the uncertainty in his heart became stronger and stronger. "Get ready to meet the enemy!"
"Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Ning's cultivation level is not low, how come he disappeared without a trace? Could it be that he went to take a convenience?"
"I want you to prepare to face the enemy, are you deaf?" Senior Brother Xiao roared, and all the junior brothers who were still sleeping woke up.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"I don't know. Senior Brother Xiao said that we should meet the enemy. How can there be any enemies in the middle of the night?" The disciple who was scolded by Senior Brother Xiao was unwilling to accept it. In the Sword Sect, his status was not lower than that of the senior brother in front of him, but because of the situation in front of him. He only entered the sect two days earlier than him.
Senior Brother Xiao said nothing, frowned, and glanced around. This place was originally a wilderness, but there was nothing around except a few sparse trees. "Am I really too nervous?"
The surroundings were empty, and even Senior Brother Xiao didn't believe himself.
"Junior brother Ning's cultivation level is not low. Even if he goes to the convenience store, he can't go too far. You stay here and I'll go take a look."
"Hmph, let me tell you, how could there be any enemies in the wilderness in the middle of the night? I don't even think about it. We are disciples of the Sword Sect. In the Da Luo Dynasty, no one dares to run wild. Junior brothers, go back and rest! "
Hearing the sarcasm coming from behind, Senior Brother Xiao had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it. He could only walk forward step by step to find Junior Brother Ning who had gone somewhere.
call out!
call out!
Just when the wilderness fell silent again, the sound of piercing the air suddenly sounded, and arrows pierced the night with firelight, instantly setting more than a dozen tents on fire.
