Chapter 653: Not Afraid of Death

The butcher didn't answer too many questions from Lu Ye. Maybe he didn't know, or maybe some things were hard to say.

However, in this way, Lu Ye's original plan was ruined.

He thought that under this catastrophe, Xianyuan City had been completely occupied by the Zerg, and the Xianyuan Guards were wiped out. I'm afraid that even the seemingly powerful city lord and the red-dressed woman would not survive. He only needed to sneak into the city lord's mansion under the cover of his Zerg team to plunder the soul-washing water.

But things were not what he thought.

There are still many Xianyuan Guards active in this Xianyuan City, and the city lord is probably not dead.

If the city lord is not dead, even if he enters the city lord's mansion, he can't get the soul-washing water... This is a bit worrying.

This is not to say that Lu Ye is waiting for the city lord to die, but the original plan can't be implemented.

"When will the senior go to the city lord's mansion?" Lu Ye asked.

Although the hope is slim, he still wants to try it after all. After all, it's a rare trip here. Compared with the military exploits he has gained, he wants to get the soul-washing water more. This thing is crucial to his subsequent plan.

Besides, he wanted to ask the city lord about some things, such as how he could leave here.

This time he entered Xianyuan City inexplicably, and he couldn't stay here forever. He had to leave after all, but Lu Ye didn't know how to leave.

Perhaps the city lord of Xianyuan City could give an answer.

The butcher glanced at him and said, "My mission is to clear the Zerg extending from this area to the periphery. I won't go back until the mission is completed."

Lu Ye understood and nodded, "I'll help too."

If there is no hope for the soul-washing water, at least he has to get more military merits. The butcher is in the Divine Sea Realm, and most of the Xianyuan Guards are in the True Lake Realm. It is safer to act with them. As long as the butcher can complete the mission, he can go to the city lord's mansion with him.

"It's up to you!" The butcher did not refuse. Lu Ye alone might not be able to bring them much help, but the Zerg team under Lu Ye's command is a force that can exert miraculous effects.

The low intelligence of the Zerg probably never thought that they would die under the attack of their own kind.

"By the way, senior, what are these buildings with lanterns hanging at the door? I remember that the last time I came here, the Immortal Yuan Guards couldn't get in."

This is also what he is more confused about. When he came in last time, these special buildings protected the foreign monks and blocked the pursuit of the Immortal Yuan Guards. Lu Ye thought that these buildings were like forbidden areas for the Immortal Yuan Guards.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all. The Immortal Yuan Guards can come in!

Just like the foreign monks used the protection of these buildings to avoid the pursuit of the Immortal Yuan Guards last time, this time the Immortal Yuan Guards can use these buildings to rest and avoid the pursuit of the Zerg.

"I said it all, it's just a game after all, what you see is just what you see, and... there is always a way out, understand?"

Lu Ye seemed to understand a little, but he didn't seem to understand, but he quickly realized that the key point of the butcher's words was the last sentence.

Sure enough, the secrets of heaven are everywhere.

Whether it was the last secret realm opening or the Zerg siege this time, these buildings with absolute protection provided the monks with space to hide and rest.

Although the butcher was in the Divine Sea Realm, he did not have the majesty of the Divine Sea Realm, and it seemed that he had not chatted with living people for a long time, so he talked a lot with Lu Ye, especially about the current situation in the outside world. Lu Ye talked casually, and the butcher listened with relish. From time to time, he asked some questions, and Lu Ye answered them one by one.

He also asked Lu Ye about the means of controlling the Zerg. Lu Ye did not hide it. The butcher was surprised to learn that it was the power of a divine pattern.

He originally thought that Lu Ye was a cultivator of the beast control school, and being able to control the Zerg was a means of controlling beasts.

After resting for less than an hour, a group of Xianyuan guards set off under the leadership of the butcher.

They all had tasks.

And there were many Xianyuan guard teams like them in the entire Xianyuan City, and each team was responsible for an area.

Lu Ye had not encountered them before, mainly because he was on the outskirts of Xianyuan City. Now, most of the Xianyuan Guards are in the middle of the city, so Lu Ye naturally did not encounter them along the way.

A leader of the Divine Sea Realm, with seven or eight True Lake Realms in the team, is a very powerful force. The Zergs they encounter basically have no power to resist. However, there are too many Zergs in Xianyuan City. Once they get into a fierce battle and make too much noise, the Zerg reinforcements will continue to flow.

So even if the overall strength of the team is very strong, they are not too reckless. The Butcher will always find a special building nearby as a retreat route, kill a group of Zergs, and then lead the Xianyuan Guards to retreat and reorganize, and repeat this cycle all the way to the outskirts of the city.

Lu Ye's Zerg team helped a lot in many cases. In the melee, the seven Zergs picked up a lot of advantages, which allowed Lu Ye's military exploits to continue to grow and also reduced the pressure on the Xianyuan Guards.

If the Butcher and others were normal cultivators, then this would definitely be a battle without too much suspense.

Unfortunately, the butcher and the others were all spirits, and the energy consumed in the battle could not be effectively replenished, so the longer the time, the weaker they became.

The Xianyuan Guards, whose strength was only at the Yunhe Realm, felt a little transparent at this moment.

However, they seemed not to feel it, and did not care at all. They talked and laughed with Lu Ye during the rest time.

It was rare for living people to come to Xianyuan City, and they were living people who could communicate with them, so these Xianyuan guards were extremely enthusiastic about Lu Ye. They all pulled him to talk and chatted casually about everything under the sun.

There was also a hot-tempered female Xianyuan guard who asked some difficult questions. Lu Ye stammered and the other Xianyuan guards laughed.

Another battle ended, and the butcher led the Xianyuan guards to retreat and rest.

Just like before, even if they looked extremely weak and their bodies had become translucent, these Xianyuan guards did not care at all.

They gave Lu Ye the feeling that they had already looked down on life and death, and even when facing death, they were not afraid at all.

Lu Ye couldn't help but respect them.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally went up to the second floor alone and found the butcher.

"What's the matter?" The butcher looked at him curiously.

Lu Ye said: "There is soul-washing water in the soul-washing pool, which should be able to restore you, right? Didn't you bring some out?"

He originally thought that the butcher and others would definitely bring some soul-washing water with them to replenish their own strength consumption, but now it seems that they don't have it at all, otherwise they wouldn't have slowly weakened like that.

"The soul pool contains soul mist, not soul water. It can't be condensed by ordinary means, so it can't be brought out." The butcher explained.

Lu Ye was stunned. He didn't expect it to be like this. Thinking about it, it was indeed soul mist that filled the soul-washing pool. He had built a huge soul-gathering funnel at the beginning, which condensed the soul mist into soul-washing water. For other people, even those in the Divine Sea Realm may not have this ability.

What Lu Ye didn't know was that for thousands of years, the spirits of Xianyuan City had been living like this. Death was not scary for them, but just a new journey.

The soul pool is of vital importance. It is the foundation of Xianyuan City and even other boundless mirages. As long as the power of the soul pool is not exhausted, Xianyuan City will not fall. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever thought of condensing the soul mist of the soul pool into soul water and bringing it out.

If you really do this, it’s okay once or twice, but if you do it too many times, it will inevitably have some impact on the soul pool.

So even if a strong man like the city lord really has the means to condense soul water, he will not do it.

"Do you know the soul pool?" The butcher was a little surprised.

"Well, I went there last time." Lu Ye nodded. Last time, he made a deal with the city lord and let the city lord agree to let him take the amber giant armor into the soul pool to cleanse his soul. As a result, he fished out some soul cleansing water from it, which made the city lord very angry.

"I don't have much of this stuff left, you can save it." Lu Ye said, took out a jade bottle and handed it to the butcher.

The butcher took it suspiciously, opened the bottle, and instantly showed surprise in his eyes: "Where did you get it from?"

As a spirit of Xianyuan City, he could tell what was in the bottle at a glance, and he couldn't figure out why Lu Ye had such a thing in his hand.

"What do you think?" Lu Ye squinted at him.

The butcher quickly reacted and laughed: "The city lord didn't kill you!"

It seems that he didn't kill you, otherwise Lu Ye wouldn't be alive.

The butcher finally understood why the city lord was a little irritable after the secret realm was opened last time. It turned out to be because of this reason.

"Boy, I'll remember this favor." The butcher raised his hand, patted Lu Ye's shoulder, raised his hand and pointed, urged the power to take a drop from the bottle and swallow it. In an instant, the weakness lingering around his body dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The butcher walked down to the next floor and moistened the remaining soul-washing water in the bottle to other Xianyuan guards.

One by one, the weak Xianyuan guards became lively again in a short time.

Knowing that this was actually the soul-cleansing water contributed by Lu Ye, the Xian Yuan Guards, who already had a good impression of Lu Ye, became even more enthusiastic.

The hot-tempered female spirit named Yu Qing looked like she wanted to marry him, which made Lu Ye very embarrassed. Instead, the other Xian Yuan Guards watched the show and gloated.

The battle started again. Under the leadership of the butcher, they used special buildings as bases to clear the Zerg on one street after another.

Although the strength was replenished, the task of eradicating the Zerg in this area was still arduous. After the battles, the Xian Yuan Guards became weak again as their own strength was consumed.

But this time, there was no soul-cleansing water for them to replenish.

Lu Ye's military exploits had exceeded 100,000, but he was not too happy.

Looking at the Xian Yuan Guards who were weak but still smiling, Lu Ye was full of doubts. Are these guys really not afraid of death at all?

Even if they are spirits, they should not be so indifferent to death.
