Chapter 170: Inferior Roots
Seeing that everyone began to breathe in place, Wei Liuyin took out four fireworks and lit them in the open space. A moment later, four fireworks flew out, exploding in the sky with striking patterns. This is also what they have discussed in advance, once they find that there are desolate beasts returning, they will immediately light fireworks to inform the people defending the city, a firework represents a hundred, so that the people in charge of defending the city can roughly understand the number of returning desolate beasts and prepare in advance.
The fireworks are very eye-catching in the air, and even Liu Qiqing, who is responsible for guiding the trapped people in the city, can see it very clearly. "It's not good, it's not good! Four hundred desolate beasts have returned, and the pressure on the captain's side is too great, I have to bring people to a safe area as soon as possible, and then find a way to inform them to escape. ”
When all the desolate beasts in the city were taken away by Feng Sanqi and the others, Liu Qiqing came to the area of the trapped people demarcated by Lu Chen, although he understood that this was the hiding place of the trapped people, but he couldn't find the breakthrough of the spirit array, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
But after seeing the fireworks, he knew that he couldn't delay for every second he stayed in, and the danger would increase. So he shouted loudly at this area: "I am Liu Qiqing, a member of the Daoist Academy's Heavenly Ghost Squad! The people in the Spirit Array listen, immediately withdraw the formation, and evacuate Guanhai City with me, the situation is urgent, you must evacuate immediately!"
In the spirit array, Xiao Wanqing, who was meditating and pranayama, opened her eyes in an instant, and she heard shouts outside. Not only did she hear it, but Liu Qiqing's hoarse voice was so close that almost everyone in the spirit array showed a look of surprise.
"Senior Brother Wu, open the formation, I know this person who is shouting outside, and he is indeed a student of my Taoist Academy. Xiao Wanqing said to the man who controlled the spirit array. The man nodded, and as he said, he dispersed the spiritual power that maintained the formation.
With the dissipation of the spirit array, in the originally empty open space in front of Liu Qiqing, an auditorium with a fairly large area suddenly appeared, and in the auditorium, Xiao Wanqing and other three Taoist students took the lead in appearing in front of Liu Qiqing.
"Talker, so you're the only one?How many people have you brought to support?What about the others?" Xiao Wanqing greeted Liu Qiqing very familiarly, and then asked.
"Wanqing, why are you here? Let's not talk about this, you take people to retreat with me immediately, this time to rescue you, the Daoist Academy sent twelve of our Heavenly Ghosts, but there are as many as two thousand desolate beasts in Guanhai City, and your hiding location happens to be in the center of the city, so we have to lure all the desolate beasts out of Guanhai City.
But now there are four hundred desolate beasts returning, Chen Yuan and the captain are now guarding the city gate, not allowing desolate beasts to enter the city, we need to evacuate immediately, go out of the city from the west of the city, go around to the north of the city, and then designate a place to meet with the other members of the team, and go to the stone city closest to Guanhai City. Although Liu Qiqing was very surprised that Xiao Wanqing would appear among the trapped people, now is obviously not a good time to catch up, he simply explained the current situation to everyone as quickly as possible, and urged everyone to evacuate immediately.
Xiao Wanqing and the three of them glanced at each other, their expressions became solemn, and without saying a word, they immediately began to organize the people to act. "You said Chen Yuan is back?" While organizing the evacuation, Xiao Wanqing asked Liu Qiqing.
Liu Qiqing nodded and said: "I'm back, as soon as he came back, he joined the ghost team of the Netherworld and took over this rescue mission, and the battle plan for this rescue was also proposed by him." ”
"Four hundred desolate beasts, can he and Li Chongbing resist it?" In addition to hearing the surprise of Chen Yuan's return, Xiao Wanqing couldn't help but worry about Chen Yuan and the two, she deeply understood the ferocity of the desolate beasts, they tried their best to save them in the city, and in the end they only saved a thousand people, and the remaining tens of thousands of people in the city were all torn apart and killed.
"Don't worry, the team leader will follow them, there will be no problems. Liu Qiqing smiled and said with relief.
"Team leader?" Xiao Wanqing threw the apocalyptic scene out of her mind and asked with some doubts.
"It's Chen Yuan's teacher, Ning is ruthless. Liu Qiqing explained.
"It turned out to be Teacher Ning, so it shouldn't be a problem. Of course, Xiao Wanqing had heard of Ning Ruthless's name, the unborn genius of the Beast Palace, and the god of war who had been stationed at the border of the Endless Sea for two years, and when she heard that he was there, Xiao Wanqing put her heart back in her stomach.
"I don't want to leave! Guanhai City is my home, so I don't want to run around, like a lost dog! Since your Taoist Academy is here to support, why can't you come here with more people to help us retake Guanhai City!"
Doesn't your Daoist Academy claim to have gathered the outstanding geniuses and famous teachers of the whole region? Doesn't it concentrate the top forces of the whole region? So you sent a dozen hairy boys? I don't care, you have to find a way to help us recapture the city that belongs to us!" At this time, a discordant voice suddenly appeared in the ranks that were silently hurrying, and with the inflammatory nature of its own language, it caused a lot of commotion among more than a thousand civilians. Liu Qiqing and Xiao Wanqing glanced at each other and hurriedly rushed over.
"Shut up! You, you, you ungrateful thing! It was someone who saved us, what right do you have to say these things here? Your father is the lord of the city, he sacrificed himself in order to save you, and he has been buried in the mouth of the beasts, those beasts are extremely vicious, and you let these young people fight for your throne as the lord of the city?
Don't think I don't know what you think, Wicked! Your father is loyal and generous, how did he teach you such a thing! Don't blame you, the old man will be good to this rebel, let's continue on our way. Just when the riot was about to spread further, an old man on crutches scolded the troublemaker on his head and face.
From the old man's words, everyone also heard the purpose of the mastermind of the trouble, it turned out that this person was the son of the original Guanhai City Lord, and the reason why he instigated everyone to make trouble was to force the people of the Taoist Academy to help him recapture Guanhai City, so that he could inherit the position of the city lord by virtue of his identity as the heir, otherwise after the above sent troops to recover Guanhai City, the city lord would definitely be reappointed, and he would have no chance at all.
After learning his purpose, the people who were originally instigated by him also looked at him with disdain, everyone was reluctant to watch Haicheng, because it was their home, and everyone was unwilling to leave their hometown to be instigated, where was it like him, it was for their own selfish desires.
For a moment, the troublemaker was isolated, it was a young man in his twenties, with a frivolous demeanor, and the Yin Tang was deeply sunken, with fleshless cheeks and a mean face. After being stabbed through by the old man, he was furious, and exclaimed: "Old thing, you are just a butler of my father, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me, the future city lord, here! I am really strange, you are so inconvenient, why you have nothing to do with this beast disaster, but my father died tragically for no reason."
Could it be that you want to seize my father's position as the city lord and deliberately attract desolate beasts to attack my Guanhai City? Or are you already colluding with the alien race and want to subvert me for nine days!" In the mouth of that young man, the old man suddenly became a heinous sinner, and such an ability to reverse black and white really opened the eyes of Liu Qiqing and Xiao Wanqing.
"You brute, your father was besieged to death by wild beasts in order to save you from this unsuccessful thing, if you hadn't been frightened and stood still, your father would not have died, and now you even say that he died tragically for no reason! Do you still have a little conscience? The old man has been a housekeeper for your family for thirty years, and I don't have to wait until today to usurp the throne! cough, cough, cough!" The old man trembled with anger, his face was red, and after a violent cough, he gasped for breath, and he could hardly hold the cane in his hand.
Hearing the old man's words, everyone accused the young man of being unfilial, indeed although the young man's words were very inflammatory, but everyone was not stupid, the old housekeeper was much more real than the young man in terms of demeanor or emotion, and it was easy to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
At this time, the young man was still flatly denying, "He is talking nonsense, either I killed my father, or he colluded with other races and wanted to seek my view of Haicheng! Don't believe him! Old thing, I will fight with you!" As he spoke, the young man pounced on the old man, his expression was hideous, and he pinched the old man's neck with one hand, wanting to kill the old man.
Liu Qiqing's eyes were quick, he flew forward, grabbed the back of the young man's neck, threw the young man to the ground with a neat over-the-shoulder fall, and then grabbed the young man's collar and dragged him up.
Liu Qiqing brought the young man up to him and said, "Are you all fools when we are?" The old housekeeper is over eighty years old, and his physical condition is very poor, what I said is not good, he is already a person buried in the loess to his neck, you say that he wants to take the position of your city lord?"
What is he going to do? You tell me that normal people would give up thirty years of friendship in order to enjoy five or six years of rights? Do you think everyone is a white-eyed wolf like you?"
"If this is not the case, then how did he survive this terrible disaster in his old age and frailty?" said the young man with a stiff neck. He struggled to break free from Liu Qiqing's control, but with his strength that didn't even break through the double of knowledge and darkness, he couldn't compare to Liu Qiqing who shook the Yue Baifeng Realm.
"I'll tell you how he survived! Your father is busy with official business, so he doesn't have time to receive the three of us in person, let you receive it on your behalf, but you don't know where to look for flowers and ask willows, it's the old housekeeper who is afraid of losing his manners, and he has been accompanying us, and he was by our side when the disaster happened, and we saved the lives of all of you, and he was the first one we saved! Why, do you have any questions?" Xiao Wanqing also couldn't contain her anger a little, and stood up and asked.
The young man was silent, and he knew that this time he had failed completely. "What else do you have to say, miscellaneous. Just a scumbag like you, I'll kill you with dirty hands!" Liu Qiqing threw it on the ground with disdain.
Then he turned his head, looked around unkindly, and said: "I know what you think, you think that my Dao Academy has gathered the elites and masters of the whole region, we should rescue you, and we should serve you, in fact, for so many years, my Youtian Dao Academy has done this."
But I tell you today that although we are fighting for the safety and stability of the whole region, you remember to me that we do not owe you anything! But what we have lost is our youth! We do enjoy huge resources in the Taoist Academy, but what we have paid is time and youth, when you are reuniting with your family, we are carrying out arduous cultivation, and when your children are playing and fighting, we are fighting with one mechanism after another, and even dangerous aliens. While your kids are reaching out and asking for pocket money, we're doing tasks desperately to earn a little bit of contribution.
We endure hardships and work hard simply because we are talented, and we want to contribute our own strength to the Nether Domain, which is voluntary for us, but this is not a reason for you to ask us for no reason!
The three alchemists could have escaped while the desolate beasts were attacking the city, but they stayed behind to save people and were trapped here. The academy sent a team of 12 of us to the rescue, and we disregarded our own safety to lead away nearly 2,000 desolate beasts in the city, and in order to cover our retreat, my two companions had to fight against the 400 returning desolate beasts alone. You know, the oldest of our team is only twenty years old!
We are rescuing us regardless of life and death, but you are still here crookedly, instigated by others to make trouble, ask your conscience, is this right? I will put my words here today! If you want to live, follow me, if you don't want to live, get out of here as soon as possible, set off, don't waste time!"
Liu Qiqing's words made many people bow their heads in shame, but there were still a small number of people with disdain and indifference on their faces, Liu Qiqing shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: "Selfish, mercenary, and self-centered, this is probably the inferior root nature that the human race will never be able to remove." ”
