Chapter 524: Wind Rises in Tianxiang City
now.
My aunt rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms. As she cleaned the jade steps on the flying boat, she whispered, "Nowadays, all the major forces in the city have joined forces. Although they can't see the situation too far away..."
"But under such a big situation, it is foreseeable that the first to fall will be those who are alone and without support."
While she was busy, her beautiful eyes casually glanced at Pu Xiu: "Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, dozens of fairies will leave Tianxiang City again."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Pu Xiu at the same time.
Pu Xiu nodded softly and said self-deprecatingly, "There wasn't much of a chance anyway. I'd be content if I could just stay in the city for a little longer."
She naturally understood why Zhou Xiaoyi was looking at her.
It is obvious that the next ones to be destroyed... must be senior and junior sisters like her, Tianxiang.
If she had not come along to discuss the matter, she would not have had the opportunity to learn much about the situation and would have known nothing about the situation in the city.
Facing those combined behemoths, someone as weak as her had no chance of resistance at all. She could only abandon the city and flee, even to the point where she was left with only a handful of people...
Think about this.
Pu Xiu didn't hide his thoughts, but smiled and whispered softly, "Those in the city who are in a situation like mine don't even have the qualifications to join forces with those ancient clans and immortal sects. The only outcome is defeat and exodus from the city."
Everyone is well aware of this.
Pu Xiu certainly had no qualifications to join forces with those ancient clans. After all, the disparity in strength between the two was too great, and the alliance was only temporary. Disputes would arise again if the situation changed in the future, and she... was still far from reaching the threshold to fight with those forces.
Even if she can cooperate with Hong Ning now, she will still have no chance of winning against the forces of Hong Ning and Si He in the future.
to some extent……
Although she now occupies the two regions of Nanjia and Nanding, she has actually already been defeated and left Tianxiang City.
"Junior Sister Pu is not hopeless. I think those allied forces are not united and are each calculating the situation in the city."
Zhao Qing smiled and tried to comfort Pu Xiu, then hurriedly gave her some hope.
Just as my aunt said - the current situation in Tianxiang City where all parties are joining forces to confront each other actually has no impact on the ancient clan itself, and has little impact on their family.
Instead, it directly squeezes the living space of the weak...
Although Pu Xiu is safe and secure at the moment, he actually can no longer see much of a future ahead.
The significance of Tianxiang itself and the trial rules in the city determine that those who walk in Tianxiang must have an extremely noble origin.
One needs to have the support of an immortal family, many supporters and very few enemies, be known for being able to convince others on the spot, and be able to see the overall situation... Only then will one have the opportunity to ascend to the position of a walking fairy and become a famous and crucial fairy among the Twelve Walking Fairies of Yujing.
However, it has little to do with the personal cultivation strength of Tianxiang disciples.
It was obvious that Pu Xiu was basically finished and there was no hope for him anymore.
Zhao Qing suggested calmly, "Junior Sister Pu, just rest assured. If you are in any danger, we will definitely help you."
"and--"
He paused for a moment and promised earnestly, "Junior Sister Pu can bring along many fellow Daoists and retreat into the Sand Gold Secret Realm at any time. Together we can withstand future circumstances."
After these words were spoken, everyone thought about it and smiled in silence.
These words sound like he is protecting Pu Xiu, but in fact he is really trying his best to help her, but it is no different from recruiting her.
This is the reality in Tianxiang City today.
When the weak help the strong, that is lending a helping hand; when the strong help the weak, it is gathering and supporting them.
Pu Xiu naturally understood all this, but she had no other choice. From the beginning to the end... she had no chance to choose.
"It's just the difference between leaving the city earlier or later."
"But if we can stay in the city for a few more days, Xiu'er is willing to try, so I will guard the entrance to the secret realm for Junior Sister Hong Ning."
"Senior Brother Zhao really needs some help."
The woman smiled softly and directly told the previously obscure ending.
Pu Xiu has a clear mind about everything, but the opportunities in Tianxiang City are not limited to Tianxiang Xingzou.
Tianxiang walking is walking, Xueyi walking... isn’t that also walking?
By working for Hong Ning, she was able to at least get closer to Zhao Qing's family, and her long-term spiritual practice would obviously also bring her many benefits.
And if Hong Ning really had the chance... even if she helped two people, it would be enough to make the Ziqing Sword Pavilion of Leihuangzhou prosper for hundreds of years under the protection of Yujing.
Sister Ning's eyes sparkled as she smiled gently, "Senior Sister Pu will stay in the secret realm for the time being. If anything happens to Nan Ding and Nan Jia, Ning'er will accompany you to defend and adjust."
Pu Xiu nodded slightly, casually surveying the surrounding sandstorms, and said jokingly with a smile, "I can finally have a good stroll through this secret realm."
"Junior Sister Ye, do you want to come with us?"
After laughing, the woman changed the subject and looked directly at Ye Xi and made the suggestion.
The fact that Ye Xi appears here says a lot, and it is most appropriate for her to propose a collaboration right now.
Zhao Qingshuyue also looked up at Ye Xi, quietly waiting for an answer.
There was no hope for Pu Xiu in the first place, so being able to completely bring him under control was nothing.
But Ye Xi is a real giant. The number of cultivators in her city alone is even more than that of her own family and Pu Xiu... and she can also get information from the inside of the ancient clan.
She is even qualified to betray the Ye family and join forces with other ancient clans, or she can have a place in the city on her own.
What's even more exaggerated is that if Ye Xi had joined the Jian family now, there would be no need for them to abandon the city and retreat.
But Ye Xi obviously would not choose the Jian family. After all, if they turned against each other in the future, she would not be able to do anything to help the Jian family, and she would just be trying to make things easier for them.
Zhao Qing knew very well that for Ye Xi, joining forces with him was the best choice.
Because...when the situation in Tianxiang City changes in the future and everyone fights for themselves, she will have a chance to defeat her side.
At least on the surface, the risk is much smaller than cooperating with Jian Qiong, Xia Yuchan and others.
The charming girl smiled and glanced at Li Wushuang, Xiang Qin and the others, then looked at Hong Ning Xiaoyi and said bluntly: "Ye's summoned me to go back and help."
"But because of the difference in clan ties... I don't really want to go there."
Ning Mei's eyes curved as she casually complained, "If we had many fellow Daoists from the Holy Land to help us, we wouldn't want to share any opportunities with them either~"
"Not only did he waste his own strength, but he also made things easier for others."
Zhao Qing took over the conversation and chuckled, "So Fairy Ye is planning to... side with us weaklings?"
Xiang Qin was shocked when he heard this, and he was a little expectant but also a little hesitant.
Are you kidding...
Not only does Ye Xi have a lot of Yujing cultivators on her side, but they are all from the Four Sacred Lands. If they really join forces with her to exchange what they have, it would undoubtedly be like courting disaster.
However, facing the joint confrontation or sweep of many forces, if Hong Ning, Ye Xi and Pu Xiu really join forces, with the geographical advantage of the Sand Gold Secret Realm and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mirror, they will not be inferior to any behemoth.
"Why did Junior Sister Hong Ning become a pushover?"
The girl raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a lighthearted smile, "In front of Senior Brother and Xiaoyi, Ye Xi is the chess piece that can be manipulated at will... isn't that right?"
My aunt didn't comment. She smiled and asked casually, "What are your plans, Fairy Ye?"
Ye Xi pondered for a moment, then walked closer to Sister Ning, holding her arm and chuckling softly, "Just like Senior Sister Pu, Ye Xi will also help Senior Sister Hong Ning. At the same time, you all need to protect me."
"When necessary..."
She exchanged a smile with Hong Ning, then glanced at Zhao Qing with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, "If we were faced with a desperate crisis, could I, along with my fellow Taoists, retreat into the Sand Gold Secret Realm?"
Zhao Qing: ...
have to.
This is really a hassle.
According to Ye Xi's suggestion, she and Pu Xiu seemed to receive exactly the same treatment, and both were willing to help Ning Mei occupy a place in Tianxiang City.
But the reality is completely different.
There were only more than 600 people left on Pu Xiu's side, and less than 200 Yujing monks. Zhao Qing felt that he could handle it and was not afraid that she would turn against him.
But Ye Xi has over 2,000 cultivators here, more than half of whom are disciples of Yujing, and countless geniuses from the Four Sacred Grounds. How can he be more than just a giant? He is simply a living father...
If you let her and her people into the secret realm, you will be the one who will be panicking.
But... fortunately, He Ma can be conjoined twins with Ning Mei and is not afraid of any attacks or murder plots.
Si He chuckled and sent a message: "Sure, I'll be Ning Mei's bodyguard."
Zhao Qing made a decision in his heart and kept communicating with his aunt Ningmei to analyze the pros and cons.
If the three parties truly advance and retreat together, the benefits will obviously be enormous.
With the combined efforts of nearly four thousand cultivators and over a thousand Yujing cultivators, most of them are from the Blood Robe lineage and holy lands. They can become behemoths that can compete with anyone.
But there are also great hidden dangers.
In the future, Ye Xi will definitely find an opportunity to turn against him, and Pu Xiu may also become someone else's guide, playing a trick on the law...
However, judging by the current situation in the city, temporarily joining forces obviously has more advantages than disadvantages.
Ning Mei's eyelashes fluttered as she replied with a cheerful laugh, "Of course that's feasible, but Senior Sister Pu's Nightingale Domain is a bit weak, so we'll have to hold her back a bit."
"Okay!"
The girl twisted her slender waist, turned her head and smiled at Zhao Qing and Li Wushuang: "Then Ye Xi will be a frequent visitor here in the future."
"The Dongren Territory is stable for now. I'll take some friends to explore the secret realm so they can get acquainted with Senior Sister Pu. Together we can guard the Nanding Territory."
Zhao Qing chuckled and nodded, then exchanged a glance with Li Wushuang.
The latter instantly understood and said with a laugh, "Of course we can't let the two fairies do all the hard work."
"I'm tired of staying in the secret realm with the Xuanwu Tribe's Six Meridians Battle Formation... I can go to the two city areas and protect the two fairies."
Pu Xiu's heart moved when she heard this, and a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes. She quietly examined Ye Xi's expression at the moment.
Not only does Ye Xi want to retreat into the secret realm, Zhao Qing also wants to infiltrate her people... The more complicated the situation is, the greater the threat between each other, and the corresponding cooperation will be closer.
Just as Pu Xiu thought.
This was obviously Zhao Qing's plan. Since they had agreed to join forces, how could he not defend the city for Fairy Ye?
Not only did she pull out the Xuanwu tribe's battle formation, she also stuffed the Baihu tribe into her and Pu Xiu's city, with the main goal of occasionally cooperating against external forces and being on guard against each other at other times.
Ningmei has Sihe by her side, and she feels safe and secure, so she can bear any other risks.
……
however.
Just as the three parties were in the Shajin Secret Realm, facing the situation in the city, they were discussing how to join forces.
North of Tianxiang City.
At the entrance to the Jade Tower Secret Realm in an abandoned city somewhere, a vast amount of spiritual energy was released and the pressure was overwhelming.
Flying boats and fairy pavilions roared out...
The resounding melodies are stirring, and the mysterious magic has dyed the sky and the earth with ink.
Qin Gu goes first!
The battle formation is formed!
The flying owl spread its wings and soared into the sky, and the star-shattering puppets scattered in all directions...
Immediately afterwards, a series of seven incense pavilions, protected by the golden body of Bodhi, appeared at the entrance of the Jade Tower Secret Realm.
There are countless flying boats stretching across the boundless sky, blocking out the sun.
"eighty!"
"two hundred!"
"Three hundred... more than three hundred flying boats!"
The cultivators who were scattered outside the Northern Xin Territory were terrified at this moment, and fled in panic on their boats... The spiritual energy in the communication jade in each of their hands was surging.
——But the message given was not to let the monks in the city be on guard, but to let them escape quickly.
But within just a few breaths, several cold-blooded women caught up with him and were within a dozen feet of him in an instant!
The beautiful woman's silk ribbon was as sharp as an arrow, and her flying sleeves were wrapped in flowing light. She suddenly broke the restriction on their flying boat and shattered several communication jades into dust with incredible precision!
Only a gentle laugh could be heard from afar: "Daoyou, please stay."
……
……
Only half an hour later.
Outside Tianxiang City, the sea of frost and snow was in an uproar!
"How come Xia Yuchan has over 7,000 helpers around her!?"
"With six saints following me, I'm naturally unmatched..."
"Sweeping across six hundred miles in half an hour! Destroying four cities in a row! Destroying a city in the space of a cup of tea!"
"It's more than just destroying a city?"
"It is said that Fairy Chi retreated into the secret realm in the city, but was caught up by them, crushed and driven away, and the entire secret realm was also slaughtered in blood!"
"Junior Sister Zijun is in the same situation. She was injured in the killing array and her Dantian has been damaged. Now she is recuperating in the pond garden and has fallen several levels. Even those Yuanying seniors can't protect her from her injuries..."
"No wonder the Jian family retreated early! Fairy Xia's ferocity is truly terrifying..."
"Is this the person recommended by the Protector?"
……
……
·
The secret realm of gold sand and the blood jade flying boat.
Ning Mei frowned, put away the communication jade, and said solemnly, "Those people went to West City. They shouldn't pose a threat to us for the time being."
Zhao Qing and his aunt looked at each other in silence, secretly puzzled.
He looked at Ye Xi suspiciously, wondering, "The Jian family retreated last night, and the Ye family came to join you. Could it be that they learned about Xia Yuchan's movements in advance?"
The atmosphere in the hall was no longer as lively as it was in the early morning, and it seemed a little quiet at this moment.
Ye Xi pondered for a moment, then frowned and said slowly: "It shouldn't be."
"Xia Yuchan was also gathering her strength last night. She was clearly on guard. Besides, I'm quite familiar with her, and she's definitely not someone who gets easily impulsive."
Zhao Qing: ...
He once again reviewed the news that Tang Shiqi was gathering outside the city and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Over 7,000 monks! Six saints follow them! Sweep across Tianxiang City!
Damn, this is a real dad.
Xia Yuchan had been recommended by her protectors, and she already had a lot of help from independent travelers around her. Furthermore, after the city was captured, those saints brought their remaining forces to join the army, and behind them was the ancient Xia clan's full support...
The situation was exactly the same as my aunt's previous rehearsal.
Now, those who are isolated and helpless in the city have no chance of staying.
But what they didn't expect was... Xia Yuchan actually came out in full force, abandoned the city to attack, and beat up the primitive people!
My aunt frowned and shook her head, whispering softly, "According to the current situation in the city, the one who strikes first is actually at a disadvantage. Even if Xia Yuchan has countless supporters, she shouldn't be able to sweep so easily..."
Hearing this, Li Wushuang and Xiang Qin looked at each other in silence.
Zhao Qingningmei and Shuyue were also thinking strangely...
Whoever takes action first will be the first to be attacked by the crowd. It is far better to lie low and watch.
Xia Yuchan has more than 7,000 people on his side. If they stay in hiding, it's obvious that they are in a safe position. Why would they choose to go out and chop people indiscriminately?
Qing Huan's phoenix eyes flickered as she softly speculated, "Perhaps, it's because she has too many helpers around her, and the advantage in numbers has become a burden..."
Zhao Qing's mind moved, and he immediately understood Qinghuan's meaning.
Is this being put up?
Ye Xi nodded slightly: "That's also possible. The city is in a state of retreat, and she is recommended by the Protector, and she has six saints following her. If she doesn't take action now, I'm afraid she won't be able to control the people around her."
Zhao Qing: ...
Isn't this fucking funny?
Such a stupid decision, I guess I was really stuck.
Pu Xiu couldn't even suppress hundreds of people, not to mention that she had countless helpers and followers, and she also had the title of being recommended by the protector.
But Zhao Qing couldn't figure out what kind of situation would force someone to take action.
After all... he didn't have that much help and had no experience at all.
