Cheng Yu glanced at the person who spoke. He remembered that this person's surname was He, and he was one of the two middle-stage Mahayana people recruited by Qinghai.
If Tang Keqing's words were just to provoke Cheng Yu, but He Keqing's words were completely sowing discord between Cheng Yu and Qinghai.
He Keqing's words were clearly saying that Cheng Yu was a traitor sent by Rucheng, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
However, except for Qinghai and a few guest officials of average strength, everyone present seemed to be gloating over the misfortune.
"Mr. He, don't say this nonsense. I believe Mr. Hu cannot be the person sent by Zhou Ping!" Qinghai said with a serious face.
After all, he saw Cheng Yu kill Zhou Ping's subordinate Qi Fei with his own eyes, and Zhou Ping attacked Cheng Yu just to save Qi Fei.
Moreover, judging from Zhou Ping's original state, it was obvious that Cheng Yu had angered Zhou Ping by killing Qi Fei. Later, Zhou Ping even continued to attack Aoki City.
Therefore, Qinghai believed that it was absolutely impossible for Cheng Yu to be in the same group as Zhou Ping.
However, He Keqing is a master in the middle stage of Mahayana after all. Qinghai doesn't want to offend him now, so he still saves some face for him.
"City Lord, you know people, faces but not hearts!" He Keqing said again.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being. Don't talk about it anymore. I believe in Mr. Hu's character!" Qinghai waved his hand to stop He Keqing's words.
He Keqing saw that Qinghai trusted Cheng Yu so much and even protected him repeatedly. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more.
As the person involved, Cheng Yu had been standing quietly aside, watching all this indifferently, as if he had no intention of explaining it at all.
However, Cheng Yu was still a little moved to see Qinghai believing in him so much. As the saying goes, don't trust people when you employ them, and don't use them when you doubt them.
It's just that Qinghai will be disappointed with himself in the end. Although he and Zhou Ping are not the same group, he and Long Ying are not the same group either.
But fortunately, Cheng Yu and Qinghai are not enemies. Even if their positions are different now, he believes that Qinghai will still become a camp in the future.
All the previous guards at the East City Gate were killed. The guards who arrived were cleaning up the corpses, while Cheng Yu and the others were waiting by the tower.
To be honest, although Qinghai's words were strong and responsible, he was also a little anxious and nervous in his heart.
After all, through Cheng Yu's analysis and judgment, those people are indeed not weak. And it is indeed quite dangerous for them to wait for them here.
But considering that there are so many masters here, although there are no masters from the late Mahayana period, with them here, it shouldn't be difficult for him to save his life.
Not long after, the guards Qinghai sent out to inquire about the situation came back.
"City Lord, something bad has happened. Elder Qin and the others have been killed!" As soon as the guard ran over, before Qinghai could speak, the guard said in a panic.
"What! Elder Qin was killed? By whom?" The news brought by the guard was really shocking.
Although everyone had speculated before, maybe Elder Qin would be defeated, but they did not expect that Elder Qin would have been killed in just such a moment. This shows that those people are much stronger than they imagined. .
"It's those who attacked the east gate!" the guard said.
"Have you ever found out what the strength of those people is?" Tang Keqing, who was next to Qinghai, asked hurriedly.
"I didn't see those people, but I heard from people who saw Elder Qin being killed with their own eyes that they were... they were..."
"What are they? Tell me quickly!" Qinghai shouted.
"They said those people are going through... through... through the tribulation period!"
"Transcending the tribulation period!" Hearing these three words was even more shocking than hearing the news that Elder Qin had been killed just now.
And Tang Keqing was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face was ashen, and he murmured: "The tribulation period! Now we are dead!"
"Are you sure those people are in the Tribulation Stage?" Although Qinghai felt terrified when he heard about the Tribulation Stage and even turned a little pale, he still tried his best to look calmer.
"There should be nothing wrong. Those people saw Elder Qin being killed by those people with their own eyes. And although I didn't see those people, I could already hear the momentum spreading from the fight in Longying Mansion. It was terrifying. I couldn’t even get close, and I didn’t dare to stay any longer, so I hurriedly came back to report!” The guard seemed to remember the feeling when he wanted to get close to Longying Mansion just now, and his whole body couldn’t help but tremble. It can be seen that what just happened was really It scared him.
"How many people are there in total?" Qinghai tightened his fists. It seemed that the situation was more troublesome than he thought.
He really didn't expect that Xiaohai would actually send masters from the tribulation stage to come, which meant that they were really going to attack Longying.
And now that Long Ying and Xiao Hai are fighting in the Mo Luo area, it is impossible to mobilize large-scale troops. Therefore, it is indeed most appropriate to directly send the masters who have transcended the tribulation period.
But he doesn't despair yet, because there are also tribulation periods in Longying Mansion, but he doesn't know how many. The biggest problem now is that Xiaohai has sent a total of several Tribulation Periods. If the number is not as good as that of Longying Mansion, then Aoki City will not be lost.
"I heard there were five of them!" the guard replied.
"Five! Are they all in the tribulation period?" Upon hearing this number, everyone was already in despair.
What is the concept of five tribulation periods? None of them can leave Aoki City alive. No wonder Rucheng dares to be so arrogant and even dispatches masters who have transcended the tribulation period. This is too scary.
At this time, the guests around Qinghai all looked anxious and pale, and they had no intention of staying.
"This subordinate doesn't know. Everything happened too fast, and they didn't know it very well!" the guard replied.
"City Lord, I think we should leave Cyanwood City as soon as possible. Judging from the current situation, if it is later, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave!" Tang Keqing doesn't want to stay in Cyanwood City anymore.
They even sent experts who were in the Tribulation Stage, and the five of them didn't know how many of them were in the Tribulation Stage. Even if there was only one, it was not something they could handle.
What's more, masters like Elder Qin in the late Mahayana period can be killed at will, and it's useless no matter how many of them there are.
"City Lord, Tang Keqing is right. The situation is not good now. This Rucheng is too ruthless. Even masters from the tribulation period are here. If we don't leave, we really have no chance!" He Keqing also spoke to persuade.
As soon as He Keqing spoke, others also spoke one after another. If these people's strength was only at the Mahayana stage, they could still try to stand up.
But now that everyone has come out to go through the tribulation period, this is something that no matter how many of them there are, they can't withstand it. If they don't run away now, when will they wait?
