432 Huge Changes (1/2)
Lewu County
The city, which had less than 600 thousand people, resounded with the sound of drums and instruments. There were groups of people everywhere.
However, at this moment, different from the warm and exciting atmosphere, a solemn and serious expression spread all about the city.
”It seems like there is an ambush!”
The place where Luoshi stood at was within a small Pavillion far from the city center. In front of it, there were numerous buildings blocking. However, it couldn't stop one from using spiritual spells to investigate.
This outcome made him take in a deep cold breath. His eye obstacle technique could only look through 3 thousand feet before it was blocked by some spiritual energy. He didn't notice anything, however—which made it more shocking.
When Xie An heard that, he wasn't surprised at all.
”It is too be expected, that Yuan Jiuchen and Tailing Sect think that we definitely wouldn't be able to save them. What we need to think about is how to save people and how to escape. Only we have too little people…”
Xuanye was filled with worry and wanted to persuade him, but he was unable to say it out. For these ten over fellow sect disciples, it will only drag down more of them. That sense of danger was getting heavier and heavier.
Thinking about it carefully, Xuanye suppressed such thoughts. 3 sects and 6 schools looking out and helping one another, no matter how many casualties they suffered, they must save them.
”Speaking of which it is all because of Tanqiu! If it wasn't for him being too cowardly and unwilling to save our fellow disciples, why would we have a lack of people? I saw Tanqiu's personality that day. He doesn't dare to take responsibility for his actions. When I wanted him to swear on a heart demon he instantly changed his words…”
Li Zhi scoffed, his gaze filled with disdain before he said solemnly, ”We have to be extremely careful regarding what we do. It is good to save them, but we can't risk the lives of so many juniors and seniors. It is best if we plan for the long term!”
The other 3 of them all frowned as they exchanged glances with one another. Although they had some doubts in their hearts, what this person said made sense and they couldn't chide him about it.
”Yuan Jiuchen wants to bait us to attack and they are plotting against us openly. Our common people path can plot openly and occupy the east gate to give ourselves a way out. Let's see how they react, if they just bear with it then their plot must be a huge one…”
Just as they were speaking, suddenly 10 over huge explosions spread out from outside the Pavillion. The sounds shook the entire city, numerous flames suddenly charged up into the sky.
The people within were all startled as they looked outside of the window. Following which they heard several shouts spread over.
”That side is on fire! Put out the fire…”
”...It's the people from the common people path!”
”Those bandits! Luckily no one died…”
Luoshi's brows rose up.
The glow from the flames rose up from where the center of the city was at. All around, there were a few which caused the entire city to be in chaos. Looking around once more, fierce killing intent filled aura rose up into the sky and surrounded them.
Luoshi scolded out inside, who was the one messing about? Without thinking much he stepped into the sky.
”We can't stay here any longer, let everyone flee! Flee to the east gate!”
Xie An and Xuanye's brows also furrowed tightly. No matter how they thought about it, the situation today didn't seem right. It was like someone purposely wanted to startle the enemy? Was it Tailing Sect, but looking at their style, it was a little off.
Suddenly the corner of his eyes saw 2 shadows that safely escaped out from the city gate.
”...Xuan Yunlan, Zhao Yanran!”
Xie An's pupils instantly constricted, before he could even rage, an extremely strong intent surged over.
”Longling?”
He instinctively lashed out with the sword, instantly sword energy shook the sky as energy surged all about.
Xie An instantly looked towards where the sword light came from to see that it was that Longling from Tailing Sect.
He couldn't help but take in a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his emotions. For the battle today, Xuanye, Luoshi and Xie An were the strongest so naturally, they had the responsibility of bringing up the rear! They could only fight to the death!
Right at the same time, within a tall building in the center of Wule City, a 40 over year old steely looking male had an extremely weird expression. He was holding an official document in his hand. He had only finished half of it but at this moment he could only stop.
In front of him was a teen with distinct features and wearing a green Taoist robe who was looking over the railing. Within his clean eyes were also filled with loss and confusion.
”Weird, what exactly are the common people path thinking? Did they think that by creating this ruckus they will make us release those ten over bandits and not kill them?”
The 40 over male didn't reply, using true qi to pass over the document in his hand.
After the teen accepted it, his refined-looking brows were tightly furrowed.
The contents of the document wanted to delay the timing of the beheading, to move these ten over common people path disciples into the capital.
”This common people path have their methods, they are finally smart for once. Since it is the ministry of war that sent the document we have to follow. But then what is this mess today?”
