Chapter 648 Phantom Fire

Xiong Rudong suddenly became excited, took two steps back, bowed his head.

"Thank you, Lord Ji, for helping me pass the message! Thank you, Lord Diao, for your kindness!"

The situation in the city was overwhelming, and the rich and powerful people fled outside the city.

He is like a bear and cannot understand forms, but he also knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

If you can't afford to offend, you can't afford to hide. It's always right to go out and avoid the limelight first.

The little old man Ji Xiangsong smiled.

Although Xiong Rudong is only the leader of a small gang, he is just inconspicuous when looking at the entire Thunder City.

But for most ordinary warriors, Xiong Rudong is almost at the peak of ordinary warriors.

People have their limits. If a warrior with ordinary qualifications does not have the treasures of heaven and earth, or embarks on the path of a believer in the demon warrior, most warriors in the tree realm will have reached their peak strength. Going forward, in fact, It's just to maintain this strength.

Those who can break through the tree realm and reach the wood realm are all talented warriors.

Of course, this naturally includes believers in demon warriors. They are no longer restricted by human bloodline qualifications. It is unknown how far they can go in the future and how high their achievements will be.

But again, with Ji Xiangsong's status and strength, Xiong Rudong is already a top-notch combat force among the people he can come into contact with.

Being able to make friends with a warrior of this strength and leave a favor would be of no harm to the little old man Ji Xiangsong.

Even if Xiong Rudong is about to leave the city and leave Thunder City, that does not mean that he will not come back in the future. Thunder City may even break up, and he himself may leave Thunder City and join Xiong Rudong.

In short, he must give this favor away.

"Then I'll let you out now. You can arrange your own time and don't miss the time."

Opening the door and letting people out, Xiong Rudong saluted and thanked him again.

This honest and honest character also made the little old man Ji Xiangsong quite satisfied, and he felt that he had not helped the wrong person.

After thinking for a moment, he said.

"Brother Xiong, you insist on taking your family out of the city. I will not stop you. Even the rebels are willing to provide manpower to help you leave Thunder City. In the end, you have to think clearly whether you want to leave the city or not."

Xiong Rudong suddenly showed a bit of confusion.

"Lord Ji, please clarify."

The little old man Ji Xiangsong smiled and said slowly: "Although Thunder City is in chaos now, there are ten major families at the top and various gangs at the bottom. The overall force is still strong. Even if the army presses the border, we may not really lose. . Look at the thunder clouds in the sky, it must be the enemy of the ten major families. There are many monsters in the wild, and the next village and town are not close. It is very dangerous for you to leave the city... Of course, it’s still up to you to decide what to do in the end, that’s all I said, little old man.”

Xiong Rudong listened carefully and thought, as if his thoughts were moved.

But in the end, he shook his head firmly.

"Thank you, Master Ji, for the suggestion, but I have made up my mind, little brother, and I still ask you to make it happen."

He still wanted nothing more than to leave.

The situation in Thunder City is changing, and there are too many uncertainties. He is a small person, he just wants his family to be safe, and he is not willing to get involved.

As luck and misfortune depended on each other, Ji Xiangsong naturally said no more and let the person out, then turned around and left, busy with other things.

In addition to Xiong Rudong, the rebels actually received requests from many people to leave the city.

Unlike Xiong Rudong, who asks for favors based on human feelings, what others need to pay is more practical things, such as money, materials, and even talent transportation.

In short, whatever the rebels lack, these people need to give them, otherwise they will not be able to pass through the rebels and leave Thunder City.

The reason why the rebels were able to make so many promises and gain such huge wealth all at once was largely because...the rebels and the Yudi Mansion began to open up a relationship.

From top to bottom, when many orders are issued, and when it comes to the implementation stage, many things have actually gradually become clear.

…

"Diao...Master."

Yifeiyan, who was guarding the city gate, looked at the person in front of him with a strange expression.

Looking at the wanted portrait posted on the wall next to it, I almost thought I was dazzled.

What are you doing?

The person wanted by Yudi Mansion has now become his immediate boss. Not only can he swagger through the city, but he can also command the people of Yudi Mansion to work for him.

What kind of world is this...

Yifeiyan never thought that one day, Yudi Mansion would actually obey the orders of the rebels and become completely dependent on the rebels.

But this is the order passed down by the hall master above. He is just a captain and has no qualifications to ask questions. He can only obey the order.

The hierarchy in Yudi Mansion is very strict. Just like the ten major families in Thunder City are always above all others, most of the people below are not qualified to make a sound.

You still remember that this guy in front of you just entered Thunder City some time ago, right? A pure foreigner, after making a big fuss in Thunder City and breaking out of the Mingtang, he suddenly transformed into a high-ranking member of the rebel army, and now he has become a high-ranking member of the Yudi Mansion...

The world is so unbelievable that Yifeiyan feels like he hasn't even woken up from his sleep today.

But helplessly, the fact is the fact, and under the order of the hall master, he could only remain silent.

"You, you, you, and you, yes, it's you, Shu Dingxiu! Don't step back, stand up!"

Fang Yu looked at people's health bars. He could tell who was strong and who was weak at a glance. Do you still want to hide it?

Shu Dingxiu:...

With Yifeiyan's doubtful eyes, he looked at an inconspicuous guy in his team.

Shu Dingxiu, who originally retreated to the back of the crowd, could only walk out of the crowd with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Sir...are you talking about me? I am an ordinary Qianhu, so I am not qualified to follow you."

Thousand households?

Fang Yu looked up and looked at this guy's health bar.

[Shu Dingxiu: 4515/4515. 】

Your strength is already at the captain level, yet you pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger when you are a thousand households.

Others can't see your hidden strength, but my fiery eyes can't see your true identity?

etc! Isn't it a demon? That would be embarrassing, the four thousand blood demons are pure waste.

No, Qianhu, there should be Qianxue after all. With the combat power of four thousand blood, he is definitely a human warrior.

Turning around to look at Yifeiyan.

The latter looked confused.

"Look what I'm doing... Master Diao, the officers and soldiers guarding the city are not just captains and patrol officers. The thousands of households below should be the main force. Elites like us are the ones who come to guard the city gate in turn. Of course, The current situation is indeed a little different.”

Fang Yu was speechless.

It's your fault that you didn't notice that this guy was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

He also treats others as soldiers.

Anyway, Fang Yu was assigned a task by the rebel leaders and came here to recruit young men. He didn't care whether he was pretending to be a pig or not, as long as everyone with high blood volume was named and gathered under his name.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, ranging from two thousand blood swords to four thousand blood, Fang Yu nodded slightly with satisfaction.

The strongest one is naturally Yifeiyan, the captain of Yudi Mansion, but this guy seems to be a little disobedient.

[Yifeiyan: 5000/5000. 】

"You should know who I am, but there is a reason why I can come here and stand here. I won't say anything about how you are good or me, how we can work together to build Yudi Mansion, etc., I only have One request, that is...obey! Listen to my orders, let's complete the orders from above, then disband and go back to our homes, it's that simple."

Fang Yu spoke frankly. Although everyone said nothing, Fang Yu's words were actually quite in line with their taste.

It was originally a chaotic combination of rebel rebels, Yu Difu, high-level captains, and low-level city defenders. No one was spoiled by anyone, and they just had to work together to get things done.

"Master Diao, I wonder what mission this operation is going to carry out?"

Yifeiyan asked piously.

Knowing what the mission is is very important. It determines whether to continue to follow others in the charge, weigh the pros and cons in the current context.

but……

"Have you forgotten what I just said so quickly?" Fang Yu looked at him sideways: "You only need to know what to do next, and don't worry about anything else."

"……yes."

Even Yifeiyan was stunned, and the others just shut up.

What a statement...

Everyone was muttering secretly in their hearts. At the same time, Fang Yu had already given the first order to this temporary team.

"Everyone, move towards An Mansion."

Anjia, one of the top ten families? !

As soon as this order came out, everyone suddenly felt that their lives were not going to be long.

Although under the orders from above, they changed from chasing the rebels to obeying the rebels, the ten major families still didn't know about the rebellion in Yudi Mansion.

Now running directly to other people's territory... This is a bit too courting death.

Yifeiyan really didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking. If the hall master hadn't personally given the order, he would have thought that the rebels had killed all the senior officials of Yudi Mansion and used the orders from the senior officials to direct their actions.

Holding their heads firmly, everyone could only obey the order and follow Fang Yu.

They can no longer understand what the rebels want to do...

…

In a dark and deep chamber.

The commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Xu Tianyin, looked at the faint green candlelight in front of him like a candle in the wind, with a solemn expression.

"You're dying."

"It was me who didn't listen to the advice and insisted on trying the law... I ended up in this situation entirely because of myself."

In the dim green candlelight, human voices could be heard.

If the Hall Master of Yudi Mansion were here, he would definitely exclaim loudly... Master of the Hall!

"It's a good thing that you were able to reach this broken instrument [Soul Renewal Lamp] in the place where evil was collected, otherwise you would have been dead by now. But now, the situation is not much, and the [Soul Renewal Lamp] only takes your Death is just delayed. In less than half a day, this candle will burn out." Xu Tianyin sighed.

"...I was too arrogant. It was because of this thing that I dared to risk my life, but I didn't expect that several of those old guys were actually at the scene! Even though you were far away, you escaped in time. But I was also hurt. And I was even more..."

The Master of Yudi Mansion sighed deeply.

He was like a person waiting for death, knowing full well that death was approaching step by step, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Is there no way to keep this [Soul Renewal Lamp] burning?" Xu Tianyin asked with a frown.

Without the help of the Lord of Yudi Mansion, even if he obtains the entire Yudi Mansion now, it will only achieve half of the effect he expected.

The candlelight flickered and fell into silence.

Just when Xu Tianyin thought that the master of Yudi Mansion had lost his soul, the ghostly fire suddenly made a sound.

"I heard that in the legend, there is a place where souls are locked and imprisoned, called Soul Confinement Mountain. This is a place where souls are locked and imprisoned. If you can take me into it, maybe my soul can be found in that legendary place. Survive for a long time.”

After all, it was a matter of life and death. Even the Master of Yudi Mansion wanted to get a glimmer of hope.

but……

Xu Tianyin shook his head slightly.

"I have heard of the Soul-Trapping Mountain, but that is just a legend, like the Giant Buddha Demon Mountain in the legend, it is not a real thing. What's more, you are far from being able to hold on until then, not to mention... even if the soul lives forever, you no longer have a physical body, and you are not really alive."

"Yeah... I can't hold on."

As if the will was depressed, the ghost fire gradually weakened, and the flames shrank and became smaller with the naked eye.

"I heard that people go to the netherworld after death. Do you think there is really a netherworld in this world?"

Xu Tianyin shook his head again. He didn't know the answer to this question.

The emergence of blue blood disease made many people think that the netherworld collapsed and the reincarnation collapsed.

But in fact, the truth of blue blood disease is not so. It is a more logical and realistic possibility.

Perhaps it is because people are about to die, and the voice in the ghost fire gradually softens.

"It's okay to lie to me... I heard that there will be judgment in the underworld. If I do more good deeds before I die, will I have a better life after I go there?"

Xu Tianyin suddenly sighed at this moment.

Even a genius like the Lord of the Yuhe Mansion is not much different from ordinary people when facing death.

Maybe one day, when he faces death, he may not be much better...

"Xu Tianyin, you are right. The ten major families are doing crazy things. They are trying to go against the will of heaven. It is against ethics and morality, and against the law of reincarnation! Take my subordinates and stop them! Just think of it as... the last good deed I have done for the many people in Thunder City in this life."

As the voice fell, the flame gradually dimmed until... with a sizzling sound, it was completely extinguished.

The whole secret room returned to darkness in an instant.

"..."

In the darkness, Xu Tianyin reached out to touch the [Soul-Renewing Lamp].

The [Soul-Renewing Lamp], which was already broken, made a click when Xu Tianyin's big hand full of human yang energy touched it! Suddenly it broke into a handful of powder, and as Xu Tianyin froze, the powder fell to the ground.

"Ah..."

With a sigh, Xu Tianyin shook his hands and turned to leave the dark secret room.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, he turned around and saw that the place where he was just now was actually an underground tomb!

The entire tomb space is not too large, but it has been transformed into a base suitable for living and action by the rebels. This is also a base provided to the rebels by a citizen in Lei Ting City who once had a rich ancestor but is now in poverty.

Normally, it is not very useful at this time, but who would have thought... At this time, it actually played a role. Let the soul of the Lord of Yudi Mansion last a little longer, but... that's all.

Without the help of the Lord of Yudi Mansion, Xu Tianyin must lead the rebels himself to fight against the ten major families!

And now, there is a best opportunity.

The army is approaching, and the ten major families must go out of the city to welcome them in person!

And this is the opportunity for the rebels! His Xu Tianyin's opportunity!

"Ten pillars, can be the ten pillars of the ten great families, or... the ten pillars of me, Xu Tianyin!"

...
