Chapter 1786: In the City Lord’s Mansion
Inside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, it was dark. Si Tu Reading.\nCOM
In the night, more than a dozen silent old men could be seen dimly. They sat cross-legged in a corner of the main hall, with no visible Yuan power on their bodies, just waiting quietly.
These were all the elders in the City Lord's Mansion. When the City Lord's Mansion encountered a disaster, they would never withdraw.
"The Yuan power in the back mountain was soaring, and the momentum was amazing. I wonder what happened?"
"It won't be those disciples who evacuated..."
More than a dozen people didn't speak, but just thought secretly.
The movement in the back mountain was very loud, and they could all sense it, but they couldn't know the specific process.
Not long after, a few people's faces changed slightly, because there was a burst of dense and chaotic footsteps coming from afar, and the number of people was probably no less than one or two hundred.
There was no doubt that the warriors from the three factions had arrived.
More than a dozen old men had livid faces, and their Yuan power was flashing, and their momentum gradually rose.
Clang...
The main hall door was pushed open from the outside to the inside. The old men sitting in the hall were about to kill the enemy, but suddenly everyone paused and forced back the energy they had raised.
They had seen it clearly.
Among the people who broke into the hall, the one walking in the front was... Chen Xiao, and behind Chen Xiao, most of the faces that rushed in were very familiar to them.
Aren't they all disciples of the City Lord's Mansion who evacuated in advance?
How... why did they come back at this time?
"Elders... all the disciples under the sect don't want to live alone, and want to share the fate of this mansion, so they come back to help."
"And... Ye Feng... is back too? Where is the old city lord?"
Chen Xiao bowed to the more than ten people who looked puzzled, and hurriedly explained the situation to them.
Hearing this, a small number of the elders showed helplessness on their faces and sighed. Their aspirations were commendable, but... when the nest is destroyed, no egg can be left intact. Why not keep a useful body and seek revenge in the future?
Doing so would only lead to the three factions being wiped out at once, which was really unwise.
But since they came, it was enough to show that they were loyal and honest and reliable.
As for Ye Feng...
Ye Feng? He was not in Jinhua Upper City to practice and improve himself, so why did he come back to join in the fun?
"Ridiculous!"
Not keeping a useful body, but coming back to die?
One of the elders, a yellow-bearded old man, looked gloomy and couldn't help but scold.
But at this moment, the secret door at the other end of the hall opened, and an old figure appeared in it, and the whole hall became three times brighter.
"Ye Feng... Meet the City Lord!"
"How are you, City Lord?"
After brushing off the dust on his body, Ye Feng stepped forward quickly, half-knelt respectfully and bowed. The old figure was the Star City Lord who came after hearing the news.
"Okay, okay..."
The Star City Lord staggered slightly, his expression fluctuated for a long time, and he suppressed his emotions and stepped forward to help Ye Feng up.
"It's you, kid. My feeling... is correct."
The Star City Lord, who was originally sitting on the top of the city and confronting the three factions, could no longer sit still after vaguely hearing Ye Feng's name, so he flew back.
"The three factions have committed such a great evil, and they deserve to die. I didn't get the news before, so... I'm late..."
Ye Feng felt a little sour in his heart. The Star City Lord in front of him no longer had the majestic image of the past, but more like an old man in his twilight years, with fatigue written all over his face.
The Star City Lord had done him a great favor, and now the dangerous situation facing the City Lord's Mansion was also partly due to his own reasons.
"Why are you saying this?"
"But... you shouldn't come at this time of year."
After sensing Ye Feng's cultivation, the Star City Lord smiled, but he quickly retracted his smile. After a sigh, he sat back on the main seat in the hall.
The first level of the King Realm.
Although he made rapid progress and his combat power was barely acceptable, how could he deal with the tigers and wolves like Ning Shentong and the Killing Heart Sword Master?
For the Star City Lord, it would be better if Ye Feng didn't come back now.
"Report!"
At this moment, a hurried report outside the hall interrupted everyone's reminiscing. A disciple of the City Lord's Mansion entered the hall panting and bowed, "Report to the City Lord, the masters and elders of dozens of sects such as Liuyun Sect said they wanted to meet the City Lord outside the mansion."
"Hmph, what are they doing here at this time!"
Chen Xiao snorted with displeasure.
Over the past year or so, the City Lord's Mansion has been bearing all the pressure from the three sects alone, but no one from other sects has come to help.
"They are not to blame for this. Let them in."
The Star City Lord waved his hand and gestured to the disciple.
"Yes! There is another important matter...disciples, we have captured a spy from Jihuo Fort. Should we kill him directly?"
The disciple responded and then bowed his hands.
"Don't kill him first. Bring him up. I have something to ask."
This time, it was Ye Feng who spoke before the City Lord.
Looking at Ye Feng with some confusion, the Star City Lord nodded to the disciple, who saluted with his fists and flew down quickly.
Not long after, more than a hundred warriors from the Liuyun Sect and other sects filed in, entered the hall one by one, and saluted to the Star City Lord.
"Lord City Lord, we have decided to live and die with the City Lord's Mansion. The three factions are treasonous and rebellious. The crime is unforgivable. Xingguang City cannot tolerate such villains. Everyone is willing to obey your order and deal with the three factions to the end."
Liu Han stated his purpose with a firm tone, and he did not lose the demeanor of a sect leader.
"If you continue to watch the show, perhaps none of the hundreds of disciples in my City Lord's Mansion will be left alive."
Chen Xiao's face was not good, and he did not give them face.
If Ye Feng had not come forward to deal with the thirty Zun Wang Realm led by Ning Juebi, the warriors of these small sects would have to watch from the sidelines, and there was even the possibility of defecting to the three sects.
How could Chen Xiao look at such a snake and rat?
Liu Han and others were immediately embarrassed, and finally it was the middle-aged woman who broke the awkwardness of the scene. Her eyes moved and finally fell on Ye Feng. She smiled slightly and said: "Please don't blame us, Lord City Lord. It's not that we don't want to help, but it took some effort to settle the sect. We eat the salary of the Lord and share the worries of the Lord. The Lord City Lord usually takes care of us. In such a critical moment, how can we sit idly by?
"I, Fang Qingrong, apologize to the City Lord's Mansion on behalf of everyone. "
Feeling the good intentions in the middle-aged woman's words, Ye Feng nodded slightly.
This woman is very good at dealing with people. Even though everyone in the City Lord's Mansion knows that these small sects are suspected of being fence-sitters, there are reasons for it. Everyone has a family to support, and they are not the direct descendants of the City Lord's Mansion. There is no reason to follow the City Lord's Mansion and perish together with the three sects.
Hearing her say this, I can feel more comfortable.
Although Chen Xiao and others' faces are still not very good, they are much more relaxed than before.
"Young man Ye Feng came from the upper city and killed many powerful people from the three sects decisively. He must have good means to resist the enemy. I would like to ask, are there any masters in the upper city?"
Sensing that the atmosphere was gradually easing, Fang Qingrong's eyes moved, and she looked at Ye Feng with a smile and asked.
