"Okay, I'll go outside the city to find out the cause of Haoer's death."
Although Mr. Shao Er is a late-stage Nascent Soul True Lord, his real strength is similar to that of a mid-stage Yuanying True Lord.
Therefore, if he stays in Qingluan City, not only will he not be able to help City Lord Zhang, he may also be implicated.
Not long after Mr. Shao was sent away, the three major families came after hearing the news. They were afraid that the Shao family would be more difficult to deal with if they combined with the Zhang family, so they wanted to take over the Zhang family before the Zhang and Shao families truly united.
It just so happened that City Lord Zhang also wanted to fight quickly. He had already uncovered the Zhang family traitors, and all the innocent people in the city who were not from the four major families were driven to the north of the city far away from the City Lord's Mansion. Even if there was a real war, they would not be involved. to them.
As for his daughter Xinran, not long after Zhuzhu left the city, she was handed over by City Lord Zhang to his cronies and taken out of Qingluan City through a secret tunnel.
Therefore, it can be said that the current City Lord Zhang has no worries and is invulnerable. In addition, the Dantian has been reinforced by beads and has returned to the strength of the late-stage out-of-body True Lord. Even if the three mid-stage out-of-body True Lords from the three major families unite, He is not the opponent of City Lord Zhang either.
Moreover, the people of the three major families were not united. While fighting against City Lord Zhang, they also had to guard against sneak attacks from the other two families. It was inevitable that they would be a little hesitant, and they could only use eight or nine points of their strength that should have been very high.
Moreover, they were also shocked by the strength of City Lord Zhang. The reason why the three major families wanted to seize City Lord Zhang’s position was because City Lord Zhang’s foundation had been damaged for a long time. But now it seems that City Lord Zhang has no time left. There are too many people, even three against one is no match for them.
The three out-of-body masters couldn't help but feel that this was a conspiracy. Perhaps City Lord Zhang was not going crazy at all, but was using this as an excuse to deliberately lure them into action and then take the opportunity to eradicate the three families.
They must have been fooled by the Zhang family!
Thinking of this, the three out-of-body masters felt a little regretful. City Lord Zhang would be soft-hearted to the people in the city, but he would never be soft-hearted to them. It was too late to give up the fight for the position of City Lord now. City Lord Zhang had some regrets afterwards. Reasons and excuses come to the door.
Now that they are on the verge of death, they can only fight to the death.
After the out-of-body masters from the three major families figured it out, their expressions became resolute, and their spellcasting was much more powerful than before, and they attacked the main gate of Zhang City with all their moves.
City Lord Zhang snorted coldly, with a bone-gnawing murderous look in his eyes: "If you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."
After all, I was once an out-of-body Dzogchen Master who almost broke through the distraction stage. Even if the breakthrough failed and he went crazy and damaged his foundation, he would still be much better than them who were in the middle stage of out-of-body experience.
If he doesn't take the opportunity to kill the three of them this time and severely injure the three major families, he is afraid that the three major families will come out to cause trouble while he is recovering. Once the healing is interrupted, he will never be able to repair his injuries, but he will not live long. That’s it.
So kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
This time, he had to leave the three of them alive...
This battle between the four major families almost destroyed half of Qingluan City, and the children of the four major families suffered numerous casualties as a result.
However, those mortals and low-level monks who were forcibly driven to the north of the city by the guards of the city lord's palace suffered no casualties because they were far away from the flames of war.
Only then did the people in the city who had complaints understand City Lord Zhang's good intentions. The City Lord was afraid that they would be implicated, so he forced them to go to the north of the city.
Therefore, Lord Zhang was more loved and respected by the people in the city.
"Cough cough cough..."
City Master Zhang used his last bit of strength to slap open the beam above his head, walked out of the ruins, and then used his spiritual consciousness to check the surrounding environment. He thought he only saw the corpses of the Qian family and the Tong family's out-of-body master, but not the Wang family's out-of-body master. When he saw the corpse, he frowned: "That old boy Wang Tianci ran pretty fast."
But even if he knew that a fish had slipped through the net, City Lord Zhang was powerless to pursue it at the moment.
Even if Zhuzhu strengthened his Dantian, it would still be quite hard to fight against three masters who were in the middle stage of leaving the body.
Later, because the spiritual power circulated too fast and was excessively depleted, the shield on his Dantian could not withstand too much pure spiritual power from the Out-of-Body True Monarch and collapsed, and his Dantian became shaky again.
Fortunately, City Master Zhang had seriously injured three out-of-body masters before. In the end, even though he knew that his dantian had no shield and could not withstand the movement of spiritual power, he still used his last breath to kill Qian Tong's two out-of-body masters.
In fact, Zhang Cheng's idea was to leave three out-of-body masters behind. However, even though Wang Tianci was seriously injured, he hid behind Qian Tong's two out-of-body masters and escaped at the last moment.
"Cough cough cough..."
However, in this battle, City Master Zhang not only suffered serious damage to his Dantian, but also suffered internal injuries to his internal organs. The violent coughing made his throat smell fishy, and a large amount of bright red blood rushed out from his throat.
"Lord City Lord."
After the battle, the surviving children of the Zhang family found the city lord vomiting blood and hurried over to help him.
"It's okay, it's just a little internal injury. You should go and deal with the aftermath quickly, and hang the bodies of the ancestors of the Qiantong family on the city gate." Even though his body was seriously injured in many places, City Lord Zhang suppressed his pain and decided to deal with business first.
"yes--"
The children of the Zhang family were very excited when they heard that City Lord Zhang had killed the only out-of-body ancestor of the two families in a battle. They wanted to see who else would dare to besiege the Zhang family in the future and seize the position of City Lord. The City Lord may have killed him as a warning to others.
"Lord City Lord, when are you going to settle the accounts with these three families? From what I see, we should strike while the iron is hot and drive all three of their families out of Qingluan City."
Because of this battle, half of Qingluan City collapsed, and just rebuilding it would cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
This made the Zhang family and the official guards in the city very angry.
"Don't worry, I will settle the accounts with them later. Now is not the time. The top priority is to appease the people in the city and rebuild their homes for them."
After City Lord Zhang finished speaking, he suppressed the severe and severe pain in his body and continued, "I will go back to heal my wounds first. After that, Deputy City Lord Dai will decide what happens in the city."
Deputy City Lord Dai was City Lord Zhang's deputy who was trained step by step from personal guard to guard captain and then to deputy City Lord. Originally, he also had a deputy City Lord of his own family, and the two of them were called City Lord Zhang's right-hand men.
The traitor that City Lord Zhang found out not long ago was none other than Deputy City Lord Zhang.
The reason why Deputy City Lord Zhang betrayed City Lord Zhang was because he felt that City Lord Zhang relied more on Deputy City Lord Dai and did not value him, Deputy City Lord Zhang, who was related by blood.
He was afraid that City Lord Zhang would pass the position of City Lord to Vice City Lord Dai because he was running out of time, so he colluded with the three major families and planned to strike first. However, City Lord Zhang caught him out first and was imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion.
So now there is only one Deputy City Lord Dai left in the city.
And Deputy City Lord Dai is indeed loyal to City Lord Zhang.
This is why City Master Zhang can safely leave the remaining mess to him.
However, City Lord Zhang did not return to the City Lord's Mansion, which was already in ruins after all. Instead, he used the disguise technique to change his appearance and secretly left the city.
"Cough cough cough..."
The short journey of five hundred miles was only a cup of tea for the monks, but for the current Lord Zhang, it was a very long and far away journey.
He walked very hard, because he could no longer use any spiritual power from his Dantian, which was leaking from all sides, so he could only walk to the town where Zhuzhu lived, which was the place Zhuzhu told him to stay before leaving.
However, this small distance almost killed City Lord Zhang. Fortunately, he persisted and walked for a day and night before he could see the outline of the town.
…
Chen Guang and the other three excitedly walked out of the mountain towards the town. Although all three of them failed, especially Chen Guang who had a broken arm, they still managed to kill a seventh-level vajra ape together.
I brought back its demon elixir, blood, fur, ape bones, etc.
In addition, several kinds of spiritual herbs that were not found in Tianyuan Continent were collected, which was a fruitful harvest.
So the three of them were in a good mood.
When they were about to reach the town, the three of them saw an old man staggering towards the town, coughing violently as he walked.
The three of them also saw that the old man looked in great pain, with blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth after he coughed violently. He looked very shocked, as if he was about to drive away to the west.
Cui Xinyin felt sour when she saw this scene. At such an old age, he was so seriously injured and he was still struggling to travel. It showed that there should be someone important to the old man in the town.
She felt that the old man was having a hard time and wanted to help.
But Chen Guang was afraid that the old man was pretending, and didn't want Cui Xinyin to take charge. However, the little girl didn't obey his words very much now, and only listened to the two Taoist friends Ni. She still insisted on her own ideas and walked to the old man alone: " Uncle, are you okay?"
"No...it's okay."
We were almost reaching the town, and City Master Zhang thought he could bite the bullet and insist on finding Ni Xiaoyou, as he didn't want to trouble someone he didn't know.
"Do you want to go to town?"
Cui Xinyin asked as he threw out a fifth-level spirit boat and said, "Who are you looking for? I will take you to find him."
