Chapter 2385 Want to Be a Fisherman
A very large city.
It looks very majestic, with tall buildings reaching into the clouds, but the streets are very depressed, with almost no people in sight. Occasionally, some people pass by with a worried look on their faces. Like the city, it is covered with a thick layer of gray. .
After the Tianshui Realm was occupied by the Dragon Clan, most of the cities in the realm became like this.
"Have you heard? He Taiping is back!"
"He Taiping, are you talking about the former city lord? He has returned to Tianshui Realm, you can't be wrong, right!?"
"It's not wrong, someone saw it with their own eyes!"
In a dark alley tavern, several people were discussing something in low voices.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"Is he coming back to take back Fanghua City?"
"He said that if he wants to take back the Tianshui Realm, whoever stands in his way will die!"
"how could it be possible!?"
"He is not alone, there is also a very big ship, and many golden immortals in Linglong Pavilion. I forgot to mention that the city lord is also a golden immortal now!"
"The city lord was not defeated and became a miscellaneous immortal, why is he now a golden immortal?"
"Then Linglong Pavilion is doing business with the Dragon Clan, isn't it? Why is it helping the city lord? Is it true?"
"That's still false. They have already fought with the Dragon Clan. Thousands of people from the Dragon Clan are all dead! The city lord killed four to five hundred of them alone!"
"Really, really?"
Someone stood up and shouted with excitement.
"What's the noise?"
There was a roar from outside, and a huge head stuck in. It was covered with scales and its four eyes were flashing red. It stared at the people in the tavern fiercely, "Parties and noises are prohibited in the city. You all don't want to die." ?!”
"Sir, let's drink and leave right away. We'll leave right away."
The group of people quickly stood up, saluted, and dispersed. When they left, their eyes were shining with anticipation.
Such things happen in many places in Tianshui Realm.
At this time, the Linglong Treasure Ship has entered the Tianshui Realm for seven days.
In the past seven days, a total of eleven battles, large and small, took place in the passage.
The Tianshui Realm did not win a single victory and suffered heavy losses. The people they sent over were either dead or captured, and very few of them returned alive.
Zhou Shu looked slightly solemn, "Both captains, how are you?"
Nie Jing said slowly, "A total of seventeen Golden Immortals were lost today, which is the most in several battles. The casualties have accumulated together. At present, we have reduced our strength by ninety-one people, of which forty-two will take five days." It will take about a month for the twelve people to recover, and three of them can no longer fight."
"The battles are frequent and the opponents are getting stronger and stronger."
Bu Feng nodded and said solemnly, "But our gains are getting more and more, with nearly five hundred prisoners, countless immortal stones, etc."
You Chongzhi raised his hand, "Brother Dao, we can know from the prisoners that there are not many people in the Tianshui Realm who can fight. On the side of the Near Dragon Clan, there were originally nearly ten thousand, but now there are only more than four thousand people. Among them, there are really There are still about twenty life beasts, but we haven’t lost a few.”
Zhou Shu nodded, "Where are the practitioners?"
You Chongzhi said solemnly, "There is no very specific data in this regard, but I heard that few mercenaries are willing to fight, and there are less than forty golden immortals in Tianshui Realm itself, and almost all of them are dead. Those who come again are basically true immortals, so they have no impact on us."
After experiencing several wars, he seemed much calmer, with less anxiety on his face.
He Taiping looked at Zhou Shu, "Zhou Shu, what should we do now?"
In the eyes of outsiders, he is the nominal leader, but in fact it is Zhou Shu who makes the decisions.
He Taiping couldn't keep calm. Only an outsider like Zhou Shu could look at hatred calmly and make every decision correctly.
Zhou Shu didn't come forward, not because he didn't want fame, but because he simply couldn't get it.
Only by letting He Taiping take the lead to recapture the Tianshui Realm can it be just, and this army can be the army of justice.
If Zhou Shu is allowed to be the leader, even if he drives away the Dragon Clan and takes back the Tianshui Realm, in the eyes of the aborigines of the Tianshui Realm, this is not much different from the Dragon Clan occupying the Tianshui Realm. It is just a change of master. Unless he spends hundreds of years Operating in the Tianshui Realm requires others and the origin of the world to recognize him, but he does not have time and cannot do it, so he can only let He Taiping, who is an aborigine, be the leader.
Zhou Shu said calmly, "It's almost time for the decisive battle. I think they are coming soon."
"yes!"
"I've prepared it a long time ago. I won't waste time with them!"
Everyone nodded together, full of fighting spirit. He Taiping waved his hands vigorously, as if to vent something.
You Chongzhi paused and said thoughtfully, "Brother Taoist, I find something strange. That disciple of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, Master Tiantian, never showed up. Do they know that you have Wanhun, Brother Tao?" Soul Order, so you don’t dare to come out?”
His eyes fell on the two captains, seeming to indicate something.
"Linglong Pavilion will never leak secrets."
"The same goes for Bai Yujing, of course. Anyone who leaks the secret will die."
The two captains said immediately.
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "You don't have to think too much. If I were the Tiantian Master, I wouldn't come out right now. I'll just delay it as long as I can."
You Chongzhi hesitated for a moment, "Why?"
He Taiping said slowly, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins."
"good."
Zhou Shu nodded, "He deliberately didn't come out to stall for time. He is using our power to weaken the Dragon Clan. The fewer Dragon Clan in the Tianshui Realm in the future, the more we have to rely on him. His status will be improved, and it will be better when negotiating with the Dragon Clan." He can get more benefits. In short, the longer we fight with the Dragon Clan, the more benefits he will get."
"I understand, I'm sorry."
You Chongzhi quickly apologized to Bu Feng and Nie Jing.
"You're welcome, Fourth Young Master You."
Bu Feng waved his hand and sneered, "But he is quite confident. He thinks that as long as we reveal our identity, we will definitely leave."
Nie Jing snorted, "Want to be a fisherman? The mechanism is too clever, but it doesn't know that it is useless at all. When the time comes, I can only leave in despair."
"Walk?"
Zhou Shu looked slightly condensed, looked at He Taiping and said, "Brother, do you think he can leave?"
"He wants to leave? I can't wait to eat his flesh alive!"
For a moment, He Taiping looked ferocious, like a furious beast, but he soon returned to normal, "Zhou Shu, thank you for asking me, but I think it's better to let him go. If he takes his life, the Tianshui Realm will never be destroyed." We can’t live in peace anymore, it will be good if we deal with the Dragon Clan this time.”
Nie Jing and Bu Feng were both silent.
Although Master Tiantian committed a heinous crime and usurped countless resources from the Tianshui Realm, and helped the Dragon Clan plant an almost irreversible mark on the Golden Immortal, he still couldn't be killed. Behind him was the Ten Thousand Souls Sect who could wipe out the Tianshui Realm with just a raise of his hand. How could it be possible to offend someone? No matter how big of a mistake they made, they could just walk away.
"that's true."
Zhou Shu nodded and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for Tianshui Realm, but I don't think he will dare to come again in the future."
"That's best."
He Taiping just nodded, but anyone could see the anger in his heart, his teeth were about to break, and he felt like he had no choice but to do so.
