Chapter 50: Hostage-taking
"I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. Ji Yuan opened his mouth and said, Yun Nian was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you notice? Those Qilin Gate disciples are obviously here to delay time, I think, there should still be people in Qilin Gate, they should be ambushed in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity, you see, the Qilin Gate disciples in the city have all controlled your Demon Shadow near the city gate, if you continue to use the Demon Shadow to consume their physical strength, I am afraid that your Demon Shadow will also lose a lot, and at that time, once the Qilin Gate takes advantage of the void, your Demon Shadow will inevitably be hit hard! At that time, you will not be able to take the download of the empty city!"
"Isn't that still you?" Yun Nian looked indifferent.
"But now that the people of the Qilin Gate are not moving, I can't take the lead in exposing my position!"
"And what do you want to do?"
"Send your remaining 1,000 demon shadows, divide the troops into three ways, attack Zaikong City from three sides outside the city gate, and lure out the power of the Qilin Gate ambush in the shadows, I will show up with a large army of soldiers and horses, and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"
Yun Nian fell into deep thought when he heard this, and Chi Yuan saw the situation and said, "Once I control all the Qilin Sect disciples, you can easily take the empty city and all the people in the city, and go back to report to Your Majesty." ”
When the words fell, Yun Nian nodded suddenly, "Your idea is not bad." ”
"In that case, it's up to you. Chi Yuan smiled slightly, and Yun Nian nodded, and finally summoned the remaining thousand demon shadows, and the soldiers were divided into three ways, surrounded from three sides of the empty city except for the city gate, as soon as these demon shadows appeared, as Chi Yuan expected, soon the figures of the disciples of the Qilin Gate who came from the sword appeared one after another in the wilderness outside the city gate!
And in Zaikong City, although there are dark guards to resist and resist, Yun Nian's demon shadow still entered Zaikong City, and immediately firmly surrounded those Qilin Gate disciples near the city gate, so that Yun Nian was surprised that the Qilin Gate disciples in Zaikong City were far more than those who appeared before, and after they surrounded those people, many Qilin Gate disciples appeared in the southern part of Zaikong City near Hanxu Mountain.
Earlier, the disciples of the Yingyue faction set off with Nankong Qian to come to Beiman, they wanted to go to Hanxu Mountain to see the situation of Qilin Gate first, but they just arrived near Hanxu Mountain, and they were planning to find a place to settle down and rest, and then go up the mountain to meet Qilin Gate after dawn, but it didn't take long for them to notice that something was wrong, and they found that many disciples of Qilin Gate were stationed near Hanxu Mountain, and they didn't know what was going on.
When I asked in the past, I realized that it was the Demon Realm planning to attack Zaikao City!
As soon as he heard that he was going to attack Zaikong City, Nankong Qian subconsciously thought of Guan Er and the Ji family, and he hurriedly asked about the situation of the Ji family, but the disciples of the Qilin Sect didn't know the specific situation, so they could only tell him that they were okay for the time being, Nan Kong Qian was very uneasy, seeing that the Demon Realm was about to attack the city, the Ji family and Ji Wan'er might be in danger of their lives at any time!
He still has to find a way to sneak into Zaikong City to make sure that the Ji family is safe and bring them out safely!
Nankong thought about it, and immediately set off with a hundred shadows with him, the disciples of the Qilin Gate couldn't stop him, and he could only go by him, and later, the disciples of Hanxu Mountain saw in the mountains that the demon world sent people out to kill Zaikong City, they couldn't hold it back, and directly sent someone to go to the sword, intending to force the people of the demon world to defend the empty city!
Therefore, this is the scene where the disciples of the Qilin Sect and the Yingyue Sect come together to resist the sword.
When Yun Nian saw this scene, he knew that Ji Yuan was right!
"What are you waiting for?" Seeing that Chi Yuan was indifferent, Yun Nian couldn't help but urge him: "Now that all the Qilin Sect disciples have appeared, why don't you quickly take the men and horses to take them down!"
"What's the hurry?" Chi Yuan was unhurried, looking indifferent, this time Yun Nian was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?
Yun Nian broke Chi Yuan's mind with one word, but unfortunately it was too late, Chi Yuan smiled and didn't reply, Yun Nian immediately became angry, he immediately grabbed Chi Yuan's neck, and looked ruthless with gritted teeth, "Chi Yuan, you dare to use me!"
"The Shadow Devouring Demon Venerable is serious, Your Majesty sent you and me to take the empty city, then the two of us should work together, and you, as a pioneer, will contribute the most, which is inevitable, but in the end, the credit must still be yours, I am just a backhand, as long as the timing is right, and I can control those Qilin Sect disciples, when the time comes, the empty city will naturally fall into the hands of the Shadow Devouring Demon Venerable, if Your Majesty is on merit, it will definitely be the credit of the Shadow Devouring Demon Venerable. ”
Ji Yuan smiled at Yun Nian, but Yun Nian didn't care about these beautiful words he said at the moment!"You don't talk nonsense! When are you going to make a move!"
"Half an hour in another hour. Chi Yuan said lightly.
"You!" Yun Nian was angry, he was both angry and speechless at Chi Yuan's composure, so he had to nod in response, "Okay! Then I'll wait for another half an hour! If you don't make a move then, I'll go to Your Majesty to impeach you!"
After that, Chi Yuan only glanced at him lightly and did not speak.
Half an hour later, the sky was already bright, but today's sky in Zaikong City was no longer blue, but full of gunsmoke, Chi Yuan was as he said, as soon as half an hour arrived, he directly sent out three thousand demon shadows to take control of all the Qilin Gate disciples and the dark guards stationed near the city gate!
The dark guards of the Northern Barbarian Empty City suffered heavy casualties, seeing that there were more and more demon shadows, it was becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and their physical and spiritual power was also consumed, so it was not suitable to fight again for a while, so the people of the Qilin Gate also became pretended to surrender and took the lead in raising their hands.
For a while, this situation made Yunnian very satisfied.
Before Chi Yuan could speak, Yun Nian came to Zaikong City first, looking at those Qilin Sect disciples who were restrained by the Demon Shadow, Yun Nian couldn't wait to eat them alive immediately, but what made him feel distressed was that just in the battle of the City Gate, he had lost nearly 3,000 Demon Shadows! Oh my God! He cried and howled in his heart, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood!
The generals of the Dark Guard were unwilling to be defeated, and took advantage of Yun Nian's appearance, he wanted to capture the king first, but as soon as he started, he was noticed by the demon shadow on the side, and took the lead in blocking it, and the generals of the Dark Guard fought with them again desperately, and the Qilin Sect disciples on the side also hurriedly planned to raid when they saw the situation, and Yun Nian stood in the middle at a loss, looking at a loss.
Chi Yuan, who was standing on the top of Youzui Mountain, couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene.
Later, Yun Nian couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the lead and wanted to kill those Qilin Sect disciples, so as to rub their sharp qi and kill their majesty!
"Stop!"
Yun Nian suddenly looked inexplicable, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Chi Yuan!
"Chi ......" Yun Nian just wanted to call him, but as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw the demon shadow behind him holding two hostages, "Isn't that the city lord's wife and daughter of Zai Kong City?" Yun Nian thought to himself, this Chi Yuan! It's really enough! Let his people drag the disciples of the Qilin Sect here, and he himself ran to the City Lord's Mansion to bring these two key people!
At this critical moment, this brush was revealed! This Chi Yuan really underestimated him! Yun Nian glanced at him angrily, but Chi Yuan turned a blind eye to him, and appeared in everyone's sight with Mrs. Ji and Ji Wan'er, with his hands behind his back, with a high-spirited look, "If you act rashly again, I will kill them immediately!"
As soon as the words fell, he stretched out his hand and conjured a pyramid, and it landed on Ji Wan'er's neck!
"Wan'er!" Mrs. Ji's heart trembled, and everyone couldn't help but stop their movements when they saw this, and they stood in place one by one in a daze, and Nankong Qian, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene, and couldn't help but mention his heart, he was late! When he cautiously came to the vicinity of Zaikkong City with a hundred demon shadows, he found that the demon shadows of the demon world had entered Zaikong City in three ways.
He was worried that something would happen, so he sent someone to sneak into Zaikong City, first to inquire about the news of the City Lord's Mansion, and then the Shadow replied, saying that the City Lord's Mansion was planted with a powerful protective barrier, and no one could enter or leave, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and originally wanted to see if he could help near the city gate, but as soon as the front foot arrived, the Demon Shadow followed with the back foot, and controlled all the disciples of the Qilin Gate near the city gate.
So he and the shadow hid in the shadows, trying to find an opportunity to save people, but he didn't expect that he would be too late after all!
Wan Er and Mrs. Ji have already fallen into the hands of the people of the Demon Realm!
Nankong looked at Mrs. Ji and Ji Wan'er who were taken hostage not far away, and felt remorseful in his heart, he knew that he should have run directly to the City Lord's Mansion to guard there! Although the Dark Guard is powerful, and although the enchantment is powerful, the people in the Demon Realm are all masters with mana! How long can those things stop them!
The more Nankong Qian thought about it, the more he regretted it in his heart, but it was useless to regret it now! At the moment, he still had to find a way to get Mrs. Ji and Ji Wan'er out! So he ordered Hai Yao to let the rest of the shadows sneak in from the back alley on the other side of the city gate, wanting to take it by surprise, he was staring at all this in secret, trying to find the right time to save people.
Time passed bit by bit.
And Chi Yuan looked domineering, and walked into everyone's sight, the pyramid in his hand had already pressed against Ji Wan'er's neck, as if as long as he used a little more strength, the pyramid could directly pierce Ji Wan'er's neck and bleed.
