Chapter 901: City Lord in Retreat
The old men in Taoist robes often live in Xianliu City and have experienced several insect tides. They are no strangers to insect fog, but this is the first time they have seen such a large-scale insect fog, so that they were confused the first time they saw the insect fog. Can't believe it.
After a long while, the old man in Taoist robes said with a worried look on his face: "Old Huang, it seems that the number of spiritual insects gathered by the demon cultivator this time is extraordinary, perhaps even more than the largest insect tide that Xianliu City has encountered in a hundred years. , what should I do? Does the city lord have any instructions?"
Huang Qi coughed a few times and said: "The city lord has something important to do now. He will leave all the defense of the west city wall to me. Don't disturb the city lord if there is no major matter."
"The most important problem at the moment is that the insect fog blocks Qianli Yutong's vision. Judging from the speed of the spread of the insect fog, it won't be long before Xianliu City will be surrounded by this insect fog, and we will lose all traces of the magic cultivator. I don’t know what methods the demon cultivators will use to attack the city next.”
The expressions of the old men in Taoist robes instantly became much more solemn.
Huang Qi continued: "The more critical the moment, the less likely we are to mess up our position. Send the order, strengthen the security on the city wall, and be prepared to deal with the attack of the demon cultivators at any time."
The old man in Taoist robes raised his hands and said yes.
Huang Qi explained a few more words, then asked the old man in Taoist robes to retreat, and then sent three messengers in succession to the people in charge of the east, south, and north city walls, asking them to strengthen their vigilance.
The demon cultivator worked hard to create such a large-scale insect mist that blocked Qianli Jade Eyes' vision. He must have a plan. He might launch an attack from the other three walls.
After doing this, Huang Qi looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the old man in Taoist robes left the small courtyard where Huang Qi lived, he hurriedly ordered his men to strengthen their vigilance. The number of guards on the west wall instantly increased a lot.
After arranging the defense matters, the old man in Taoist robes took several of his confidants to the stone house where he lived, and a formation to isolate the outside monks from detection was automatically activated.
As soon as the old man in Taoist robes sat down, the monk closest to his left said: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Huang said that the city lord has something important to do. I don't know how important it is, but it is more important than fighting the demon cultivator. If Xianliu City is not protected... ....”
Before he could finish speaking, the old man in Taoist robe interrupted him: "Shut up! You can say this too."
The old man in Taoist robes looked at the monk with a gloomy expression. The monk immediately fell silent and lowered his head, not daring to look at the old man in Taoist robes again.
A young monk standing opposite said: "Master, please calm down. I have a good friend who works in the City Lord's Mansion. I heard from him half a month ago that the City Lord's Mansion secretly purchased a lot of materials in the past few months. Based on the purpose of the materials, The Lord of the City should be in seclusion at this time and has not yet come out."
A thoughtful look appeared on the face of the old man in Taoist robes, and he murmured: "No wonder the city lord sent his confidant Huang Lao to take charge when the city was under martial law. Now it seems that the city lord should have made arrangements in advance."
"I just don't know if there is any connection between the city lord's choice to retreat at this time and the demon cultivator's attack on the city."
The room was quiet, no one spoke.
Outside the city wall, the low-level spiritual insects that had been very active in the Ghost Desert disappeared without a trace at some point. The desert returned to calm, so quiet that there was not even a breath of wind. A strong uneasiness enveloped the entire desert.
The group of monks stationed not far outside the city wall also noticed something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly withdrew their formations, preparing to leave Xianliu City together.
But can you still escape?
Ye Zhou stood on the city wall and sighed slightly as he looked at the monks leaving in a hurry below.
The rain is coming.
