Chapter 2550: City Lord Zhao's Decision
The withdrawal of the desolate-level city lord Chang Daoyou undoubtedly meant the complete defeat of the enemy in this battle.
In various battle groups, those who had the ability to escape from their opponents retreated and fled in all directions.
But there are those who cannot escape, such as Yuan Xi's opponent at the moment, Fellow Daoist Ning, who has no hope of escape.
He originally teamed up with one of his companions to fight against Yuan Xi, but that companion was killed in a short period of time. Now alone, he is no longer an opponent, and is in danger of being beaten in just a few breaths.
"Master, go to Hedao City over there quickly, don't let them have the chance to break the Hedao Pearl!"
Lu Ye suddenly shouted lowly.
Lian was originally rushing towards the nearby battlefield. After hearing Lu Ye's words, he turned around and rushed towards the desolate level city.
A lesson from the past is a lesson from the future. Just now, the Hedao Pearl in that level city was shattered by others. Now, this desolate level city cannot make the same mistake again.
If no one goes to exert pressure, the enemy is really likely to do this, because even if the Hedao Pearl is broken, there is still a chance to escape into the Hedao Realm with the help of the fragments.
But if Lian rushed over as a deterrent, it would be different.
Once the Hedao Pearl is broken, the already fragile protective formation will inevitably collapse. No matter who breaks the Hedao Pearl, Lian will be able to leave the person to die.
In order to protect their own lives, the monks in the city must not make any irrational choices.
Lian's speed was extremely fast, and she rushed to the front of the city in the blink of an eye, her beautiful eyes fixed on the location of the central hall.
In the main hall, there was an enemy Hedao who stayed behind. He raised his big hand and placed it on the Hedao Pearl, ready to take a shot!
However, after feeling the aura of Lotus outside the city, he didn't dare to take action after all. Although the slap was satisfying, it was a question of whether he could walk away.
Sighing deeply, he still failed the city lord's trust. Fellow Daoist Chang gave him the order to break the Hedao Pearl when he retreated. But now that the matter was over, he could only save himself first.
His big hand gently stroked the Hedao Pearl, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
"You bitch, you're going to die!" A loud shout echoed through the air. Fellow Daoist Ning was covered in blood, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer had the grace of the Lord of the City. He looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.
After this battle, Hedao City was lost, and Hedao, his subordinate, was almost killed in the battle. Now, even his own life was at risk. His fate was turned upside down in one day, and even Hedao's character found it difficult to accept it.
Yuan Xi's expression was indifferent, and black petals flew beside him, sweeping forward and cutting through the void.
There was a huge disparity in strength. Fellow Daoist Ning could not resist it at all, and his protective power was broken in the blink of an eye. Although he tried to make up for it by using his power to make up for it, Yuan Xi's offensive continued, and all he did was in vain. .
The roar suddenly stopped, and his body froze. The tip of a knife pierced the back of his head at some point and came out of his mouth.
The Dao Li on the knife suddenly vibrated, and Fellow Daoist Ning groaned, his mouth full of blood.
The blade of the sword was shining brightly, and when it was pulled out diagonally, half of the head flew out.
Before his life was completely annihilated, countless black petals swept over him, gathering a flower tide to wrap him up. When the flower tide dissipated, Fellow Daoist Ning had become a piece of corpse.
Yuan Xi was undoubtedly annoyed that others were scolding her like that. If she had not seen Lu Ye rushing towards this direction, she would have taken his life with her own hands instead of venting her anger afterwards.
With the death of fellow Daoist Ning, the war gradually subsided.
Lu Ye sheathed his sword and turned around to look around, only to see that many Hedao around him had disappeared. The enemy Hedao had just escaped, and City Lord Zhao and others were chasing him everywhere.
As for whether there are any results, it depends on how determined they are to kill the enemy.
In this battle, the enemy Hedao suffered considerable losses. If City Lord Zhao and others were really determined to expand their results, they could kill a few more.
But judging from City Lord Zhao's previous behavior, this so-called tail-to-tail pursuit was probably just a show.
Yuan Xi had no intention of continuing the pursuit. What she was most interested in was the enemy's Hedao Pearl. She immediately gave Lu Ye a wink and led him towards the desolate level city.
Lian is attacking the city...
In the desolate city in front of them, all the monks had fled, leaving only an extremely fragile protective formation that no one could maintain.
So by the time Yuan Xi and Lu Ye arrived, the formation was already crumbling.
Yuan Xi and Lu Ye took action together again, and within a dozen breaths, the formation broke open.
Three figures filed in.
In the central hall, looking at the bright Hedao Pearl in front of him, Yuan Xi smiled brightly and said hello: "Dadu Tong, do something quickly, the man named Zhao seems to be back soon."
Lian stood aside, staring at Lu Ye with her beautiful eyes. She had learned about the magic of Lu Ye's method from Yuan Xi before, and she had long wanted to see it with her own eyes, so naturally she didn't want to miss it.
Lu Ye nodded, stepped forward, and punched the Hedao Pearl without hesitation.
The bright Hedao Pearl shattered into countless tiny fragments. Before the fragments could escape into the darkness, Lu Ye raised his hand and shook it.
Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment, and all the fragments were frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
Lian Hong's lips were slightly open, her face full of disbelief.
Although she has lived in Hehe Realm all year round, she has cultivated her way up from the bottom step by step. Many years ago, she also had her own Hedao City. She fought countless battles between attacking the city and being attacked. Naturally, Know what kind of scene should happen after breaking the Hedao Pearl.
What she saw before her was beyond her knowledge, and in her attention and perception, Lu Ye actually didn't do anything special.
He simply clenched his hands, and the fragments moved as if they were listening to his orders. It was incredible.
"Collect quickly!"
When Lian was stunned, Lu Ye and Yuan Xi had already taken action together, and skillfully collected the fragments, and even divided them into two parts.
One part was a lot, and the other part was very little.
At first, Lian didn't understand why it was divided into two parts, but after seeing the smaller part, she suddenly remembered that Lu Ye had promised City Lord Zhao that after the city was broken, 30% of the profits would belong to him.
If it were normal, after the Hedaozhu of a wasteland-level city was broken, 30% of the profits would indeed be only that much.
Thinking of the skill of the two masters just now, Lian couldn't help laughing. This was either a tacit understanding, or they had cooperated like this before, so there was no need for too many words.
Obviously the latter.
"Retreat!" Yuan Xi called out, and the three of them hurried out of the city like thieves who stole someone's treasure, and rushed to Yuan Xi City.
From a distance, Lu Ye saw that City Lord Zhao and others had returned together.
This group of guys really didn't kill them all, otherwise it would be impossible to end the war so quickly. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, they have no hatred with Chang Daoyou and others, but their different positions led to this war. On the other hand, they are probably thinking about the benefits after the war.
"City Lord Yuan!" City Lord Zhao shouted from afar.
"I can't hear it, I can't hear it!" Yuan Xi muttered softly and flew faster. She didn't want to embezzle the share that should belong to City Lord Zhao, but just wanted to quickly integrate her share into Yuan Xicheng's Hedaozhu.
It's like a gambler who won money and is eager to put it in the bag.
And with so many Hedaozhu fragments on his body, if he doesn't put them away quickly, it is very likely that City Lord Zhao and others will find out something.
Youdie has driven Yuan Xicheng to meet him.
A moment later, the three entered the city and headed straight for the central hall.
Yuan Xi hurriedly merged the fragments into it. Lu Ye took another fragment from Fan Wu. It was from the previous Heaven-level Hedao City, but the number of fragments in this one was obviously much less.
After the fragments were merged, the Hedao Pearl in front of him seemed to have some changes, but it was not obvious.
It was already a Hong-level Hedao Pearl. It would not be so easy to improve the quality.
"Yuan City Lord, can we enter the city?" The voice of City Lord Zhao came from outside, and it seemed a little urgent. He obviously misunderstood something and thought that Yuan Xi was going to regret it, otherwise why would he be so anxious just now and not respond.
"Of course, Xiaodie, start the formation!" Yuan Xi gave an order and led Lu Ye and Lian Chao to go out.
After a while, the two sides gathered at the square in the city.
City Lord Zhao and others looked amazed. Even if they knew in advance that Yuan Xi City was a Hong-level city, they still couldn't believe it without experiencing it in person.
The main reason was that the scale of this city was too inconsistent with its own grade.
City Lord Zhao couldn't figure out how Yuan Xi could build such a small city with just the few people under his command.
"You've worked hard, fellow Daoist." Yuan Xi was in a good mood and tilted his head to signal. Lu Ye immediately stepped forward and handed over the previously prepared fragment of the Hedao Pearl: "City Lord Zhao, this is the spoils of war agreed upon before."
City Lord Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Beside him, the Hedao named Wu, who had been to Yuan Xi City once, stepped forward to take it and said to Lu Ye with a smile: "Thank you very much."
Lu Ye said nothing and retreated behind Yuan Xi.
City Lord Zhao chased after them this time mainly to ask for the fragment of the Hedao Pearl. For them, the 30% profit of breaking through a wasteland-level city is very objective and rare. Although they didn't take much risk this time, what belongs to them is theirs.
Now that the goal has been achieved, they are naturally happy.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, there should be a lot of spoils of war in the city. What I mean is that we each send some people to collect them, and then divide the profits according to the previous agreement?" City Lord Zhao looked at Yuan Xi and said.
"No problem!" Yuan Xi nodded readily. Now that she had the fragments of the Hedaozhu, everything else was secondary, so she was particularly easy to talk to.
"In addition, I want to discuss another matter with you." City Lord Zhao's eyes were burning.
"What is it?" Yuan Xi was puzzled.
City Lord Zhao said bluntly: "This city cooperated with you very happily in this battle, so Zhao wants to attach this city to Guicheng, and from now on we will advance and retreat together, share happiness and difficulties together, I wonder what you think?"
