Shortly after Ge Shan left Bai Hao's study, Luo Kai, deputy commander of the Guards, led an army of nearly a thousand people straight out of the inner city and headed south of the outer city.
It was still only midnight in the afternoon, and the westward-moving autumn sun was still shining brightly. Under the clear light in the sky, blood and fire seemed to be staged here. Although the people of Suzaku City were gradually getting used to it, the troops were dispatched at every turn. Despite the scene, they still cautiously and uneasily couldn't help but guess whether a certain force that would be annihilated next would affect their lives.
One thing Bai Hao may have thought about but didn't care about was that every time he slaughtered a noble in the city, thousands of people were affected.
These families, which have been developed for many years and have become deeply rooted in Suzaku City, are blood-sucking insects that stalk the people. They paralyze the people and let them control them, but they will not let them die. Under this turmoil, people all over the city are close to death. At least half of a million people will have their livelihoods affected, but now, for Bai Hao or these families, their goals have become extremely clear at some point.
Even if it's not the world of spiritual practice, the fight for resources in the secular world will still be a matter of life and death...
Mu Qing and Murong Jing stood in the shadow of the street, looking at the troops speeding past, their expressions slightly condensed, footsteps followed behind them, and a female voice said: "South of the city, it should be the Xie family this time. "
Mu Qing turned slightly sideways, nodded towards Huaifenghua, and asked, "Shaoyao didn't lose his temper, did he?"
"Since you know, why bother asking?" Huaifenghua shook her head helplessly. After discussing last night, they all moved today and moved everyone to the tunnel under Mudleg Alley.
These days, for the girls of Wanhua Valley, things are happening one after another, but for Zhang Shaoyao, it is undoubtedly the most exciting, because Mu Qing used Murong Jing's blood transfer technique to kill the people who were later rescued. , also found her father Zhang Zhiyuan.
For a girl, it is undoubtedly a happy thing to be able to reunite with her family. However, after getting along with each other these days, her mother Xiaoya can no longer speak, and her father Zhang Zhiyuan has become silent. Such a situation is very difficult for a girl. For a girl who was only sixteen years old, happiness was only a short-lived thing. The rest of the time, Zhang Shaoyao was actually very sad and only wanted to avenge her parents.
Mu Qing thought about the promise he made to the girl before leaving, and sighed: "Uncle Zhang has also changed a lot. I actually don't know how to face him, but the more this happens, the less likely Shaoyao will be involved."
Murong Jing remembered something and asked, "Did Zhang Shanshan, who was beside Bai Jianwen, also be put into the secret passage?"
Regarding Murong Jing starting to stand on the side of Wanhua Valley and start thinking about things, Huaifenghua sighed inwardly and nodded: "I specifically warned her and asked Ning Chu to keep an eye on her. Before this turmoil ends, Before, she had no chance of going out.”
When Huaifenghua got down to business, she turned to look at Mu Qing's side face and said with a serious look: "Everyone knows that Bai Hao is not crazy. Everyone's life may be in danger next, and you must protect yourself!"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Jing also looked at Mu Qing, squeezed the back of his hand and said seriously: "You and Bai Hao have a blood feud, but the more this happens, the more you need to calm down."
"Mu Qing is much more mature than when he first arrived in Suzaku City, so you don't have to worry too much."
There were only four people staying in the alleyway. Wang Yeqing and Huaifenghua stood side by side. Seeing Murong Jing's concerned eyes towards Mu Qing, they rarely showed a trace of emotion and said: "Before, Yue Shan and the others were arrested, this kid We should have rushed into the inner city a long time ago."
Huaifenghua smiled knowingly and looked at Murong Jing.
Murong Jing felt the meaningful glances of the two women and said somewhat uncomfortably: "It's a pity that I haven't figured out what kind of medicine Baihao Gourd sells. I looked at those five places again and still felt that Not much of a threat.”
Mu Qing's eyes followed the army and said softly: "If the forces of the formation are not connected and you feel threatened, then we might as well think about how to protect everyone and leave safely."
Murong Jing felt slightly proud, and her eyes swept over everyone present. She was now in the early stages of transcending the mortal realm, and the one with the lowest cultivation level was the guy next to her, who was only at the second level of spiritual life.
As if feeling the meaning in his woman's eyes when she looked over, Mu Qing smiled and said: "I wonder how that guy Murong Xiuming is doing. Do you think that old man Murong Yin will let everyone attack directly? Then you will Don’t rush ahead, Bai Hao’s Karma Fire is still a moderate threat to you, and I won’t have time to suppress the Karma Fire for you.”
Murong Jing was filled with shame and anger. She was about to punch him twice to vent her anger. When she raised her eyes, she saw Mu Qing's sword eyebrows were furrowed and never relaxed. She couldn't help but sigh - he was only eighteen years old. Facing this situation that had already affected Considering the confusion among many people, I am afraid that until now, he actually does not have many clear plans.
Murong Jing said: "If people in Hidden Valley are still divided now, it will only give Bai Hao more time to prepare. We really can only take one step at a time. How about we try to save people again?"
Suddenly, the four of them looked in a certain direction, and the sound of fighting over there suddenly sounded. Mu Qing's sight seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier of space, and he saw the blood that suddenly bloomed under the rippled autumn sky.
"Now that we no longer have any worries, it's time to go find them." Huaifenghua said.
Murong Jing hummed softly, put on the mask, and led everyone towards the secret stronghold that they had never been to after learning about it from Yin Yi.
At this time, Qinglong and Baihu looked at the empty yard in front of them, and both looked at Dugu Wei with doubts on their faces.
At the late stage of the Extraordinary Stage, they could instantly confirm that there was no human voice or scent in the courtyard. With a glance, it was difficult to even find traces of someone's existence.
The doubts between Dugu Wei's brows soon turned into solemnity. Qing Long and White Tiger also guessed a possibility. They ignored it and asked in surprise: "Could it be that they have already gone to the inner city?"
Duguwei's energy gathered together, and he rose up from the ground, but instead of rushing straight towards the inner city, Qinglong and Baihu also quickly followed. In an instant, the three of them came to a place rich in deathly aura. Immediately there was the Murong family The Guardsmen came out.
Duguwei didn't waste any time and asked coldly: "What's strange?"
After receiving a negative answer, Dugu Wei immediately rushed to another place. After receiving the same answer, Dugu Wei turned around and said to the two people who followed him silently: "Suzaku has specifically stated that if there are changes in these places, , maybe a large formation covering the entire inner city."
There was no unusual movement at this time. From a certain perspective, Suzaku and the others, who did not know where they were, should be considered safe.
Bai Hu said in a deep voice: "Before this matter came, Xuanwu and the two of us had already discussed it. If it is really a big formation, I'm afraid we can only avoid the edge temporarily."
Dugu Wei's face darkened, but he didn't say anything more. They were still in the east of the city at this time. Under the clear weather, they looked around and finally discovered the movement in the south of the city. They thought that Suzaku and others had already fought with the city lord's mansion. Together, they no longer hesitated and rushed straight over there.
When the powerful man in the late extraordinary stage gave up hiding his figure, within a dozen breaths, the three of them rushed to the scene.
Under the orange-red sunlight in the afternoon, the armor plates of the converging Guards soldiers shone like rugged waves on the river. In the center of the continuous armor, there was a crowd surrounded, and the crowds were filled with darkness. A piece of it, like an island in the center of the river.
And at the edge of this surrounded group of people, as the military formation tightened step by step, the people protecting the crowd fell layer by layer. If they were not at the front of the military formation, there would be dozens of people with the same body. Wearing military armor, they barely blocked the tightening pace of the military formation. The surrounded crowd might have fallen like straw blown by the wind in an instant.
The three knowledgeable people stopped in mid-air and determined at a glance that the army of nearly a thousand people had formed a formation. I am afraid that in less than half a stick of incense, these people who could not break through would be killed in the battle.
Qinglong suddenly looked at a street not far from the battlefield, frowned and said, "Jiang Shangxiu is over there."
As the saying goes, people come at the right time. Today, when all the people in Suzaku City are closed to the outside, these higher-level people in Hidden Valley can vaguely feel a general trend, which is really pushing everyone to move in a certain direction.
Everyone knows that the battle between them and Bai Hao is probably just a short time away.
When Dugu Wei looked over, Jiang Shangxiu happened to be playing. The two of them looked away immediately after making eye contact. Dugu Wei instead glanced twice at Chen Zhuo who was standing with Jiang Shangxiu. He frowned and said, "Chen Zhuo should have been with the Xie family early." There is a connection, but at this moment, they are watching the show, but where did Suzaku and the others go..."
Bai Hao said: "I don't like people like Chen Zhuo, he is too good at catering to the current situation."
Their appearance had actually attracted the attention of the guards on the ground, but even the frightened Luo Kai did not have much choice at this time. He ordered the guards beside him to send a message for help into the sky. After the arrow, he waved his big hand forward.
When the soldiers in formation saw this model, they immediately changed their formations. Their overall momentum became more and more fierce. They actually gave up their defense and charged towards the Xie family members arrogantly.
"Luo Kai!"
Xie Xiu took the lead. After splitting the big gun that hit him head-on with his sword, he felt the sudden increase in strength by a few percent. His expression immediately changed. He pointed his long sword at Luo Kai in the center of the military formation and cursed. Said: "I'm afraid your Luo family is also on the list, right? Are you a thief trying to get a certificate?"
Luo Kaizhi had been pretending to be ill since the last time he was poisoned. Now he led the troops again, but he came to destroy the Xie family. Looking at Xie Xiu, who was about the same age and rose at the same time, he couldn't help laughing. Said: "Xie Xiu, we have drank wine together before. If you put down your weapon and kowtow to me a few times, I may be able to spare you a good death!"
During the conversation between the two, the sharpness of the military formation was fully demonstrated, and the defense line of the Xie family was instantly broken. Xie Xiu wanted to fight again, but was protected by his henchmen and retreated. His eyes were about to burst, but he was stopped by The subordinate shouted with grief and anger: "Young Master, look!"
His eyes passed through the moving weapons and the blood splashing in the air, and he saw that another encirclement had formed in the center of the crowd behind him. The old guys were begging for mercy loudly while ordering more members of the clan. The guards protected them, but when the defense line collapsed, the women, children and children of the Xie family fell down in large numbers.
"Damn it!"
