The jade-faced fox kept his word very well, and the 2.5 million people in Cang Yue City temporarily saved their lives.
Zhuo Yan felt very uncomfortable. Agreeing to become the assistant of the Jade-faced Fox meant that he would stand on the opposite side of the city people. From this moment on, his identity would no longer be a city citizen, nor a saint, but would be in both directions.
The gray area between identities.
Liao Yunchuan became Zhuo Yan's subordinate. At the same time, he will lead the army of more than 500,000 saints in Cang Yue City. Their next target is: City of Flowing Clouds.
Among the five major cities, Tianyi and Liuyun have the largest populations. Most of the people living in these two cities are cultivators, and it is almost impossible to see ordinary citizens.
The location of the two cities is also very subtle. They are just at the boundary of the East China Sea area, and both are connected to the Dragon Burial Mountain. Most of them belong to the East China Sea, and a small part belongs to the Southern Wilderness.
The city lords of Liuyun City and Tianyi City are about the same strength, and they are both in the late Taiyi realm. The number of cultivators in the cities is also similar, each numbering in the tens of millions.
Liuyun City has 13 million cultivators.
Tianyi City has 14 million cultivators.
Cangyue City is more than 800 miles away from Liuyun City. The army of saints keeps on traveling day and night, and it will take at least ten days. After ten days, these 500,000 saints will basically die on the way. The jade-faced fox doesn't care at all.
Whether these saints live or die, as long as the woman is alive, the source of infection will still exist.
Therefore, under the instructions of the Jade Faced Fox, Zhuo Yan began a long journey. Along the way, he witnessed a large number of saints falling, and he was filled with grief. These saints were all his citizens, but now they died one by one.
In front of him, it was difficult for him to accept.
He wanted to cut the jade-faced fox into pieces, but he didn't have the strength. In this continent where the strong were respected, strength was everything. He could only sigh helplessly and continue on his way.
The process of traveling was boring and tedious, but the jade-faced fox enjoyed his leisure time. With a right-hand man like Zhuo Yan, he didn't need to worry about the operation of the saint's army, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
Ten days later, Zhuo Yan appeared at the gate of Liuyun City with a frosty face. Liuyun City covers an area of more than 8,000 miles and is a large city with a population of tens of millions. The gates are unguarded and can be passed freely.
"All for freedom!"
There are six big characters written on the city wall, which are the ultimate goal of Liuyun City.
The Lord of Liuyun City, Tan Yi, had long known about the invasion of saints. He felt that these so-called saints were like ants and had nothing to fear. Therefore, even though Zhuo Yan led an army of several thousand people to the gate of the city, the cultivators in the city
There is no action, just do what you need to do.
No one can disturb their freedom!
On this journey, the saint's army suffered heavy losses, and its number dropped sharply from more than 500,000 to more than 3,000. The saints who survived were all extremely tenacious.
"Zhuo Yan, how do you plan to attack the city?" the jade-faced fox asked with interest.
"The city is dominated by cultivators and they are quite powerful. If we attack rashly, we will probably hit a stone with an egg." Zhuo Yan told the truth and continued: "An external attack is a bad strategy, and creating internal strife is a better strategy."
"How to make it?"
"City Lord Liao and I entered the city to visit the city lord. We will take the opportunity to infect the city lord and Liuyun City will be breached."
"Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. Not bad." The jade-faced fox thought this was a clever plan, "How many people do you need?"
"As long as City Lord Liao is with you."
"Okay." The jade-faced fox was very satisfied, "I'm waiting for your good news."
Zhuo Yan was in a complicated mood and led Liao Yunchuan into the city. In order to prevent the cultivators in the city from becoming suspicious, he asked Liao Yunchuan to put on a black robe that covered his whole body and only exposed his eyes. He attracted the attention of many cultivators along the way. They had never seen this before.
I have seen practitioners with purple pupils.
As he walked along, Zhuo Yan felt that he had entered a huge maze. Liuyun City was so big, and the architectural styles were so similar that he had to ask for directions again every time he walked through an alley or street. It took a long time.
After half a day, Zhuo Yancai finally arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
The decoration of the City Lord's Mansion is refreshing. The building is mainly pure white, which looks particularly dazzling under the sunlight. The entrance to the City Lord's Mansion is also unguarded, and there is no obstruction along the way. Zhuo Yan successfully meets Tan Yi.
An old man in his sixties, wearing a wide plain robe, with an unserious expression. His wrinkled face loves to smile. When he smiles, his whole face looks like a blooming chrysanthemum, giving people an inexplicable sense of humor. His mouth
Most of his teeth have been lost, and his speech is somewhat unclear.
"Two little guys, welcome to the City of Freedom, haha..." Tan Yi smiled kindly.
"My Excellency Zhuo Yan, I have met the city lord." Zhuo Yan saluted politely.
"Zhuo Yan... I remembered that I had a chance encounter with you a few years ago... I haven't seen you for many years. You are becoming more and more energetic, but I am getting older and older..." Tan Yi said with a smile.
.
Zhuo Yan politely replied: "No, no, City Lord Tan is very energetic. He seems to be more energetic than me."
"Hahahaha, City Lord Zhuo is really good at talking." Tan Yi smiled happily and said, "Is City Lord Zhuo here to ask for help?"
"Nothing can be hidden from City Lord Tan's eyes."
"Haha, although I am old, I am still very well-informed. I heard that Shenying and Huanyue have been destroyed, and the city of Cangyue is also in danger?"
"Yes. The reason for coming here this time is to discuss the plan with City Lord Tan. The army of saints is very powerful. Only by joining forces can we have a chance to win."
"Tell me, how can we join forces?"
"City Lord Tan only needs to issue an order to seal the city immediately, and no cultivators are allowed to go out. At the same time, the cultivators in the city are mobilized to work together to fight against the saint."
"Closing the city?" Tan Yi frowned, "It's necessary. Do you know the purpose of our operations in Liuyun City?"
"City Lord Tan, freedom is important, but life is more important. Please think twice!" Zhuo Yan advised.
"Give me freedom or give me death!" Tan Yi refused to listen. "A city of freedom must not be closed down. The freedom of cultivators in the city must be guaranteed."
"If the city is not closed and the saints invade, the consequences will be disastrous."
"They are just saints, they are all ants. Come and kill as many as you come!"
"City Master Tan, saints are not as simple as you think. Their bodies have mutated and they are not afraid of any vitality attacks, and..."
"No need to say more." Tan Yi stretched out his hand to stop him, "Zhuo Yan, you still don't understand the meaning of freedom to Liuyun City. If you lose your life, you will only lose your dignity. If you lose your freedom, we will lose everything!"
"Stubborn and stubborn..." Zhuo Yan muttered in his heart, he really hates the fact that iron cannot become steel!
"Life is precious, freedom is more valuable, all for freedom!" Before Zhuo Yan left, Tan Yi did not forget to promote the purpose of Liuyun City to Zhuo Yan.
"Alas!" Zhuo Yan sighed helplessly and left the City Lord's Mansion with Liao Yunchuan. Tan Yi's cultivation level was higher than his, so it was difficult for him to make a move. Moreover, his purpose of entering the City Lord's Mansion was to cooperate with Tan Yi.
He had no intention of taking action. As for the plan he told the Jade-faced Fox, it was purely a lie to deceive the Jade-faced Fox.
Sitting in the restaurant, Zhuo Yan found a seat and sat down. He felt melancholy and didn't know what to do next.
"Donor, what are you worried about?"
At this time, a bald monk sat down next to him and asked with a smile.
