CH 88

There was nothing wrong with Xie Yunnan’s injury, and none of the senior leaders of Hongye City were wounded either.

They quickly explained the situation to the people of Hongye City, saying that the big movement was due to some unruly people from Holy City, but all intruders have been arrested.

Before this explanation, Hongye City was sealed off and no one was allowed in or out.

The management of Hongye City was not so strict before, but now martial law was enforced!

That night, everyone began intense discussions regarding Holy City.

Before, they always felt that the counterattack of Holy City was far away, but now it felt like… Holy City was not very powerful.

They captured two of Holy City’s senior priests!

Because the City Lord’s Mansion was destroyed, the leaders of Hongye City gathered in the huge banquet hall where they usually ate to discuss matters.

Everyone knew that Duan Changqing was the person next to the High Priest, because the Ghost King said so in public.

It was also revealed that the overly powerful “Ghost King” before was actually Duan Changqing pretending, and Xie Qing was the real Ghost King.

However, the fact that Duan Changqing is the High Priest was not made public.

In Duan Changqing’s mind, they will definitely carry out thorough reforms sooner or later. Hiding the fact that he’s the High Priest will help reduce troubles.

The meeting was over soon. An attack on Holy City was decided, and when the people who came to the meeting left… Everyone was a little dazed.

“So Xie Qing is the Ghost King…”

“Those who fought with the Ghost King in the past were very secretive about the battle… Is it because they were charmed during the battle?”

“I didn’t expect the Ghost King to look like that!”

“No wonder he gave Xie Yunnan the city lord position. If not Xie Yunnan, then who?”

“I envy Xie Yunnan.”

“So Xie Yunnan isn’t to charm people?”

“This may be, the Ghost King’s talent skills are so powerful, Xie Yunnan is his son, maybe he also has the same talent. After all, a god-level warrior likes him!”

“No matter how powerful his talent is, he was also an ordinary person before, and can’t display his talent. We can only say that he was lucky and saved Duan Changqing.”

“This is not a matter of luck, ordinary people simply do not go and save people…”

Whispers were abound, but when they really went outside and faced others, they didn’t reveal a single word.

Duan Changqing’s identity will be kept secret.

This is their trump card!

On the other side of Holy City, it is said there’s a really powerful Second Elder in the Holy Temple. Before killing this person, they have to hide their trump card.

The people in Hongye City buried themselves in preparations and set off for Holy City the next day.

After being away from Holy City for a long time, Lu Xiaoran can finally go back. He is very much looking forward to it. The dandies who went back with him in Holy City were a little at a loss – they are going back to attack the place they grew up in.

After these dandies took refuge in Hongye City, the treatment they received was not bad.

They weren’t locked up and jailed, but enjoyed… that’s not the point!

In fact, most of them have been assigned to work as teachers to teach orphans or ordinary people in the fringe area. The content of teaching includes but is not limited to newly disclosed exercises, basic knowledge, and knowledge related to various companion animals.

These people were very reluctant at first, but could only grit their teeth and agree. After interacting with people in the fringes, their reluctance faded, and some gradually fell in love with the job.

Helping the weak can sometimes bring great satisfaction.

More importantly, the reason why they became dandies is because they’re not talented.

A bunch of people are always staring at those talents, urging them to revitalize the family. How else were they able to eat, drink and play as dandies?

Because they didn’t feel talented and were destined to achieve nothing, they had an attitude of eating, drinking, and waiting to die.

But the practice method popularized by Hongye City… It works!

No matter how useless these dandies are, they used to live a good life. Because they ate a lot of exotic beast meat from childhood to adulthood, they naturally became low-level warriors.

The effect of practicing those cultivation techniques is naturally better than that of ordinary people!

They weren’t as hardcore as Lu Xiaoran, but they practiced a lot during the teaching process, so their strength also improved.

They’re not trash; they can also become stronger!

“Brother Lu, what will happen when we arrive in Holy City?”

“Brother Lu, is Duan Changqing really the person next to the High Priest? Where is the High Priest?”

“Brother Lu…”

…

The dandies surrounded Lu Xiaoran and kept asking questions.

Lu Xiaoran’s face was expressionless. “Don’t think about this and that all day long… You should look after those people well!”

They were in charge of guarding the two senior priests who were arrested, as well as some other warriors.

Although these people were fed drugs and are no longer able to fight, they still want to keep people in prison to avoid accidents.

Hearing Lu Xiaoran’s words, they immediately restrained their expressions and stared at the people who were locked up.

Uh… Compared with these people, they’re lucky?

The group traveled to Holy City by water. Because they weren’t afraid of being attacked, such a movement made ripples.

On the other side of Holy City, they naturally learned about the Hongye City contingent, and fell into chaos.

Two high-ranking priests went to attack Hongye City, but they did not take down Hongye City, but were captured instead…

The people at the upper levels of Holy City were dumbfounded when they learned of this.

The two priests brought many high-level warriors to siege Hongye City. That is to say, many people from those noble upper class families were arrested…

How’s this possible!

What’s even more frightening is that they still don’t know how those people were caught!

Duan Changqing’s strength was concealed by Hongye City, so Holy City knew nothing about it.

“Elder Bai and Xie Yunnan have really formed an alliance?”

“It should be true. Without the help of Mr. Bai, how could Xie Yunnan and the others have defeated the two senior priests!”

“Elder Bai is on the verge of death, and must be desperate. Hongye City’s victory must have something to do with him!”

“Did he blow himself up?”

“That’s possible. If he self-destructed, he can wipe many people out immediately.”

“I hope my family ancestor is okay.”

“It’s a pity that our people were wiped out, and no one knows what happened to Hongye City.”

“Yes!”

“Those two senior priests are still too much! Hongye City already had two senior priests, and their strength isn’t too bad. They should’ve been more careful.”

…

After talking about this, everyone couldn’t help but wonder: “When those people come, what should we do?”

“The two senior priests brought so many people and couldn’t beat them. What else can we do? We can only follow the general trend!”

“Follow the general trend? These words sound simple, but don’t forget these people are killers! Those guys in Hongye City have lives on their hands, are you sure your family will be okay?”

“It’s not just killing people, they also seized many properties in Hongye City!”

“You might be willing to give up your family property, but I’m not!”

“So what if you’re not willing?”

…

The relationship between the big families in Holy City is intricate and not very good, but today, everyone gathered in one place.

Lu Xiaoran’s father was also present. He sat in the corner, squinting slightly, quietly watching everything in front of him.

The people around him asked, “Brother Lu, what do you think about the people in Hongye City…?”

“We can do nothing but follow the crowd.” Father Lu said.

“Oh, that’s true… By the way, why didn’t your sister come?” For such an important matter, Lu Jingchen, the head of the Lu family, didn’t come. Who knew where she went!

Father Lu said, “She’s the most impatient with these kinds of things.”

“She’s really free-spirited!” The man was envious.

Father Lu stopped talking. He wasn’t the powerful Lu Jingchen, so others didn’t pay much attention to him. He simply sat alone, watching everyone him like a passerby.

He has always been afraid that his brother-in-law’s identity will be exposed, causing accidents to the Lu family. For this, he has made a lot of preparations in advance, but who would have thought that Hongye City would be so strong!

He had the feeling that he had worked hard to build a high city wall, trying to defend against foreign enemies, but the so-called foreign enemy was a child only as tall as his thighs.

If he had known this sooner, he would have arrested Liao Muye a month ago so he wouldn’t be able to mess with his sister. Why else would he need to spend so much time on this guy?

Of course, his time was not wasted. He learned something from Liao Muye.

For example, Liao Muye…was born again.

This sounds like a fantasy, but it should be true. Even if his rebirth is false, Liao Muye was able to predict some things about the future

In the previous few months, after stabilizing Liao Muye, he inquired some information from his mouth. He also tried to bribe Zhou Yiqing, who was beside Liao Muye, to give Liao Muye medicine, and then extract all Liao Muye knows when he’s ignorant.

He’s clear about the various things Liao Muye mentioned about his previous life, and can understand some things he couldn’t, such as the Ghost King’s attitude towards Xie Yunnan.

However, the current development is completely different from what Liao Muye revealed.

In the world before Liao Muye’s rebirth, Xie Yunnan did not become a high-ranking priest, but only became a warrior step by step and gradually became stronger.

Even at this point in time, the Ghost King only just occupied Hongye City, and this was only because the exotic beasts ran out of Hongye Forest.

At that time, Meng Yan and the others went to Hongye City to find the High Priest, but were killed by exotic beasts, and Hongye City became a paradise for exotic beasts… The two senior priests that were just captured never went to Hongye City at all!

Hongye City, which was almost destroyed by exotic beasts, was worthless in their eyes.

At the same time, in Holy City, everyone was scrambling for the things left by the High Priest, and Elder Bai, whose body was declining day by day, did a big thing with a cruel heart – he blew himself up!

Elder Bai used an excuse to negotiate and called the two senior priests and the Second Elder to his side and then blew himself up. His self-destruction severely damaged the two senior priests. Later, the Second Elder of the Holy Temple died suddenly… This led to Holy City’s decline.

Several years later, Bai Ye cooperated with Xie Yunnan, and Xie Yunnan entered Holy City.

But now… Xie Yunnan is already a senior priest, and they don’t know if those two senior priests are alive or dead. Now the only person who can take charge of Holy City is… the Second Elder of the Holy Temple?

Father Lu just remembered this person when someone came in from outside and said loudly, “The Second Elder is here!”

Everyone stood up at this time with respectful expressions on their faces.

Those two senior priests attacked the High Priest for their own benefit. There have been many such things in Holy City, and there is nothing to criticize, but the Second Elder attacking the High Priest… that is betrayal!

The High Priest never treated the Second Elder poorly!

Everyone present despised the Second Elder a bit, but no matter what, the Second Elder is a senior priest, and an existence they had to treat with respect.

After everyone made a welcome gesture, someone finally walked in from the outside.
