Chapter 2086 Dare not obey
The four Nascent Souls were regulating their breathing, but Immortal Lei Shun raised his hand and spoke to Huo Jiujian, "May I ask if this is the Xingchen Palace patrol in person?"
"You're so boring!" City Lord Huo rolled his eyes at him, "You've already guessed who I am, why are you still pretending?"
Hearing his words, Immortal Lei Shun did not feel embarrassed at all, but instead gave a dry laugh.
"Lei Shun has met City Lord Huo, but I never expected that the City Lord actually had a history with the Dai family."
"It's not that we are old friends," Huo Jiujian said calmly, "Your Xiqiu City, from top to bottom, is too unruly!"
They are all first-tier city lords. If the news of his attack on Xiqiu City Lord gets out, it will be detrimental to unity.
But he showed disrespect for his colleagues by running here and fighting. Now that he has been exposed, it doesn't matter if he offends more people.
How could the Immortal Lei Shun care about his accusations? Taking advantage of the opportunity to climb the ladder is the right thing to do, "City Lord Huo, this is due to poor management from above!"
He was not in a position to directly blame the Lord of Xiqiu City, but he must emphasize that the main responsibility for such incidents did not lie with those below him.
How could Huo Jiu not know his intentions? He said directly, "I am only the Lord of Daye City, don't blame me for these trivial matters!"
"But our Qiushui City is truly innocent!" Lei Shun Zhenxian cried out in injustice, "The demons here were all brought here by others!"
This statement was a bit sensational, but Huo Jiujian understood it very well in his heart - he would not stop until he made a shocking statement, right?
He snorted coldly, "Don't talk to me about this. If you have evidence, report it. I have been away from the Star Palace for many years!"
His attitude clearly shows that he wants to stay out of it.
It's okay to come to Xiqiu City to handle some personal matters, but interfering in the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the Elders' Council is really crossing the line.
Huo Jiu saw this attitude, which made Lei Shun Zhenxian a little disappointed. "City Lord Huo, we really have no way to report it."
"I really don't believe this," Huo Jiujian snorted coldly, "You're already in the Nascent Soul stage, and you still say you don't have the ability?"
"I'll teach you a trick. Go to the entrance of the Presbyterian Church and vent your anger... I don't believe they won't take it seriously!"
"What?" Immortal Lei Shun was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. I finally cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and now I am so angry for no reason?
"You see, you still can't bear to do it!" Huo Jiujian said calmly, "I think it shouldn't be so extreme."
Then he straightened his face and asked coldly, "So why am I so extreme?"
"I'm living well, and Daye City is well governed. Why do you want me to go to extremes for something that has nothing to do with me?"
"But City Lord Huo, you were born in the Star Palace, shouldn't you..."
"Stop it, I'm no longer a member of the Star Palace. Don't use these to kidnap me. If you really want to... do it yourself!"
Huo Jiujian's words left Lei Shun speechless.
Duan Bowen was happy to watch the fun, "You get angry first, if the elders still don't care, I guarantee that City Lord Huo will intervene."
Huo Jiujian didn't say anything in response to his words, but he didn't refute them either, just pretending he didn't hear them.
Lei Shun didn't dare to say anything else. After all, he was not forced into a desperate situation where he had to do nothing.
Just as the warships were attacking tirelessly, daybreak broke.
Qu Jianlei did not add any new warships, but secretly ordered a general attack on the small lake.
The thirty-nine warships in the air no longer held back and launched their strongest attacks, a large part of which were directed at the Demonic Realm.
As soon as he launched the attack, Qu Jianlei's expression changed slightly.
Huo Jiujian had been watching him silently. Seeing this, he sent a divine sense over, "What's wrong?"
"It actually took a whole day and night to attack," Qu Jianlei said helplessly, "This firepower is enough to attack the Seven Color Swamp ten times."
"Well, what do I think of it?" Huo Jiujian said with a bit of disapproval, "Think about it, how long has the Dai family been trapped?"
"You have all these problems. If it were me, I would be able to break the Demon Realm."
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am a little too naive."
This was his estimate, but at dawn the next day, the Demonic Realm had still not been broken into.
Qu Jianlei felt a little embarrassed, "At most, at most there is still half a day."
How should I put it? It's not surprising. Even a master of divination will have some errors.
But not long after, a voice was heard from the Demon Realm, "Which friend is out there coming to help? Do you want me to do something for the family?"
"Grandmaster Quan Yan!" Dai Shuyi's eyes turned red, "I am Shuyi."
"What a lack of etiquette," Qu Jianlei muttered softly, but did not say anything more.
"Shut up, Shuyi!" Dai Quanyan was a serious and reasonable person. He said straightforwardly, "Let our friends who are helping us speak."
There's no need to ask. Without any external force, relying only on Dai Shuyi's few golden elixirs, is it possible to defeat the Demon Realm and weaken it to this extent?
In the Demon Realm, the Dai family has a Nascent Soul and dozens of Golden Cores, and even if they join forces, they cannot break the field.
Dai Shuyi could only shut up, looked at Qu Jianlei, paused, and then looked at Huo Jiujian.
City Lord Huo said calmly, "Dai Quanyan, the matter of the Star Palace has been exposed. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words were spoken, no one, whether inside or outside the Demon Realm, spoke.
So City Lord Huo brought three Nascent Souls here to cause trouble?
"The Star Palace... thing?" Dai Quanyan muttered, and fell silent.
After a while, he laughed, "It's really... interesting. I thought some friend came to the rescue."
"But I'm curious, how big of a deal is this that would be worthy of the Star Palace to deal with even after rescuing the Dai family from the hands of the Heavenly Demon?"
"You don't have to be so curious," City Lord Huo said calmly, "I just want to ask if you are willing to cooperate?"
Dai Quanyan didn't care, "Then I need to understand first. How do I say if I'm willing to cooperate? How do I say if I'm not willing to cooperate?"
"It seems that you can hold on for a long time," Huo Jiujian spoke directly. As a first-line city lord, every word he said was meaningful.
Since the other party can still hold on, he doesn't care, "Then I'll go first. Zhongzhou is very big. I hope you can escape the capture of the Star Palace."
Do you think I will save you? Sorry, Xingchen Palace is really not used to this habit!
At this moment, he didn't care about Lord Qu Ling's needs. There was only one thought in his mind: to maintain the dignity of the Star Palace!
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei apologetically and said, "Let's go first..."
Let's not talk about the stone jars and the like for now, okay? I will give you an explanation later!
"Of course no problem," Qu Jianlei smiled slightly. To be honest, he really admired Huo Jiujian's character.
He didn't have any obvious feeling before, he just thought that this was the lord of a city, but now he realized that this person is really a man of temperament.
As for the desire to climb up the social ladder, this is just a personal pursuit and nothing special.
So the next moment, all the warships stopped attacking and began to retreat slowly.
The attack stopped, and the Demonic Realm began to recover slowly - strictly speaking, it was not slow, if you looked closely, you could see it with the naked eye.
However, neither the demonic energy nor the demon hidden in it launched a counterattack, obviously being frightened.
Daijialing, which had been bombarded for several days, was surprisingly quiet at this moment.
The Dai family was headed by Dai Shuyi, and there were more than a dozen wounded soldiers in the company. Lei Shun also brought more than a dozen people with him, and they watched the scene in amazement.
"Wait a minute," Dai Shuyi came back to his senses and couldn't help but yelled, "City Lord Huo, I told you, you can have whatever you want."
"Shut up," Huo Jiu looked at him coldly, "Don't force me to punish you for disrespecting your Nascent Soul!"
Although Dai Quan denied the promise Dai Shuyi had made before, he could still be considered a liar.
"Wait, is it Lord Huo from Daye City?" Dai Quanyan's voice came out again, "Isn't it someone from the Star Palace?"
Strictly speaking, what he just said was not a complete rejection of the other party.
However, the Dai family is about to be rescued from the Demonic Realm, and it is indeed too much for him to bargain.
Huo Jiu knew that he was not in a good mood towards him, so he snorted coldly, "So it was you who made the decision to expel me from the Star Palace?"
He was just sent out, but he was not completely unrelated to the Star Palace.
"It's my fault," Dai Quanyan admitted his mistake directly, "Someone in the Star Palace... gave me a bad impression."
"But I promise that this has absolutely nothing to do with City Lord Huo. I would like to thank City Lord Huo for his help."
"Don't talk to me about these nonsense," Huo Jiujian said calmly, "your Xingchen Palace incident has been exposed."
"Then I'd like to take a look at what it's all about," Dai Quanyan answered straightforwardly.
"If it is really my fault, I will impose a ban on myself without further ado and go to the Star Palace with City Lord Huo."
"Heh," Huo Jiujian sneered, "Remember what you said."
Then he glanced at Qu Jianlei and said, "Given his attitude, should we... continue?"
Qu Jianlei smiled slightly when he heard this, "How dare I disobey the order from City Lord Huo?"
The next moment, countless white rays were emitted from many warships again, launching the final attack on the Demonic Realm.
Two hours later, the Demonic Realm collapsed with a loud bang, and a large amount of demonic energy swept out like a raging wave.
There are also many demons hidden in this evil energy, actively attacking the cultivators outside.
There are actually three Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons among them!
However, both the children of the Dai family and the cultivators from Qiu Shui City have received training in relevant knowledge.
They all knew what would happen when the Demon Realm was shattered, and they had prepared for it several hours in advance.
One of the Nascent Soul Demons pounced directly at the Dai family members.
The Dai family members also understood what to do. Seeing that it was an invincible existence, they decisively gave way.
Fortunately, this Nascent Soul Demon had no intention of fighting.
When the Demon Realm collapsed, many demons seemed to be attacking the cultivators, but in fact they were clearing a way for themselves to escape.
This is just like a robber who wants to rob someone. He has to injure a few people first. It is not feasible to just run away at this moment, as he may be followed and hunted down.
The wisdom of the demons is no less than that of humans. At least they are familiar with these methods.
When the Yuanying Demon saw the opponent give way, he randomly split into a black shadow and attacked twice, while the main body quickly fled into the distance.
