Chapter 621 - 621 Besieging The City 1 (1/2)

621 Besieging The City 1

“Why did… Master City Lord… do such a thing… why…”

Almost none of the citizens in Ping City questioned any of Song Yuan’s words. They sincerely respected and loved their City Lord who protected them. They were thankful that Heaven had provided them with a guardian spirit like that to accompany them, keeping them free from demon attacks.

But now, everything…

seemed like a colossal joke.

The City Lord they loved and respected had never protected them. He had even… worked with the demons to bring disaster on the citizens of Ping City.

They only suddenly realized it here and now.

Although Ping City had never been attacked by demons, the death rate within Ping City remained high. Although an unending stream of refugees entered Ping City, the number of citizens in the city never grew. The city should have been bursting at the seams, yet the numbers never seemed to grow, but were simply maintained at the original levels.

The Ping City citizens fell ill easily. The people seldom thought more of the deaths brought about by illness. They only felt that life was fragile.

But now…

They finally understood.

The so-called illnesses were actually a huge net cast by Song Yuan, who had worked with the Demon Clan to conceal the number of missing people in Ping City.
