Chapter 344: Assemblies
However, even if the masters of Mohai Ancient City suppressed it with all their might, after feeling the crisis faced by Mohai Ancient City, the original family and sect of Longjiang Ancient City also began to move.
One night, in the basement of the Zhu family's mansion in the ancient city of Longjiang, the leaders of the Chongyun faction, the Three Swords Society, and the Nangong family, the big forces in the city, gathered together. They held a meeting under the auspices of Zhu Longkong, the head of the Zhu family, and were discussing how to take advantage of the situation to establish a relationship with the Liuli faction, and completely expelled the power of Mohai Ancient City from Longjiang Ancient City.
"Everyone, we can't wait any longer! The Mohai Ancient City is destined to die if it provokes the Liuli Sect, and we can take this opportunity to break away from the control of the Mohai Ancient City and decide the future of the Longjiang Ancient City by ourselves!"
"That's right, Mohai Ancient City has almost emptied our Longjiang Ancient City during this time. If we let them continue, we don't know what year and day it will take for our Longjiang Ancient City to recover?"
"Longjiang Ancient City and Mohai Ancient City are mortal enemies, and it is because of Xing Tianming's incompetence that our Longjiang Ancient City was annexed by Mohai Ancient City. Now that we have a chance to break away from the control of the Mohai Ancient City, we should fight quickly. ”
Everyone was gossiping, and most of them were in favor of immediately rising up against the rule of Mohai Ancient City, and following the example of Liuyue Ancient City, they directly surrendered to the Liuli Sect. Because Xing Tianming, the city lord of Longjiang Ancient City, had openly surrendered to Gao Shun, a disciple of the Liuli Sect, they thought that Longjiang Ancient City was more likely to be accepted by the Liuli Sect than Liuyue Ancient City.
Although none of the leaders of these forces reached the realm of the Martial King, at this time, the Mohai Ancient City also did not send a Martial King powerhouse to guard the Longjiang Ancient City, so everyone thought that there was a great possibility that it would succeed at this time. The leaders of the forces who thought they could regain control of the ancient city of Longjiang almost all flashed with excitement and excitement on their faces, and there was also a confident and determined look in their eyes.
However, not everyone was so optimistic, and after Yang Liuzhi, the head of the Chongyun Sect, heard their words, a trace of worry appeared on his face: "Although there is no Martial King powerhouse of Mohai Ancient City in Longjiang Ancient City now, but Mohai Ancient City is not far from Longjiang Ancient City, if we don't get timely protection from the Liuli Sect after the incident, I'm afraid we will be directly suppressed by the Martial King powerhouse sent by Mohai Ancient City!"
As soon as these words came out, the high mood at the scene instantly sobered up a lot.
The leaders of these forces looked at each other, and a look of jealousy gradually appeared in their eyes.
The reason why they have been able to live until now is because when the powerhouses of Mohai Ancient City came to take over Longjiang Ancient City, these people chose to surrender to Mohai Ancient City, so they were not directly erased from Longjiang Ancient City by the masters of Mohai Ancient City. As soon as they thought of the scene where those forces loyal to Xing Tianming swore not to surrender and were directly killed by the masters of Mohai Ancient City, the leaders of these forces couldn't help but be frightened, and a hint of retreat appeared on their faces.
However, although they surrendered to the Mohai Ancient City, the enmity between the two ancient cities could not be resolved in a short time, and the leaders of these forces still had great resistance to the rule of the Mohai Ancient City. Therefore, even though this operation was extremely risky, they did not completely extinguish their intention to resist the rule of the Mohai Ancient City.
"There is no example of easy success in this world. As long as we choose the timing of the incident carefully, I believe that Mohai Ancient City will definitely not have the energy to care about it anymore. Once the Longjiang Ancient City really gets the support of the Liuli Sect's powerhouses, Shangguan Zhong and the others will have no chance to regain the lost ground, and can only watch the Longjiang Ancient City break away from their control!"
After pondering for a moment, Qiu Wanzhong, the president of the Three Swords Society, suddenly stood up and said to everyone with a resolute face, with an indomitable look in his eyes.
On the one hand, the major forces of their Longjiang Ancient City were already resistant to the rule of Mohai Ancient City, and on the other hand, it was also because Mohai Ancient City had almost emptied the resources of Longjiang Ancient City, if these forces did not resist at this time, they might not have a chance to resist in the future. Therefore, Qiu Wanzhong, knowing that there were many risks, was still unwilling to completely compromise with the Mohai Ancient City, and once again persuaded the leaders of the major forces to make up their minds.
After listening to Qiu Wanzhong's words, the leaders of the other forces gradually showed a determined look on their faces, as if they had decided to stake all their lives on this matter. Although none of these forces are qualified to compete with the Mohai Ancient City, in the case of the Mohai Ancient City itself, the combined power of the major forces is enough to subvert the foundation of the Mohai Ancient City's rule in the Longjiang Ancient City.
Even Yang Liuzhi, the head of the Chongyun Sect who had scruples before, finally made up his mind to fight hard after seeing the determination on everyone's faces. After they formally signed the covenant against the rule of the ancient city of Mohai, they were ready to continue to discuss the details of the operation and the distribution of benefits after success.
However, when the door of the basement was rudely kicked open, and a group of masters of the Mohai Ancient City rushed in to surround them, the plan of these leaders was doomed to die before they could be implemented!
"Take them all down and put them in jail!"
It was none other than Shangguan Yu, who secretly came to Longjiang Ancient City from Mohai Ancient City to break into the basement with a group of martial masters in Mohai Ancient City.
Although there are not many strong people in the ancient city of Longjiang in Mohai Ancient City, their control over the ancient city of Longjiang is not as loose as Zhu Longkong and others imagined. How could Shangguan Zhong not think of what Zhu Longkong and the others could imagine? Therefore, after sending a strong man to destroy the resistance forces of the Longjiang Ancient City, Shangguan Zhong secretly left a group of masters of the Mohai Ancient City to supervise the turmoil in the Longjiang Ancient City.
Although the strength of these people is not high, they are all good at spying on intelligence, and they are well aware of the movements of the major forces in the ancient city of Longjiang. It's just that because there are not many people left in the ancient city of Longjiang in the ancient city of Mohai, they have been holding their troops until the arrival of Shangguan Yu and others.
Don't look at Shangguan Zhong's composure in the face of the threat of the Liuli Sect, in fact, he didn't have any worries in his heart. After all, the gap between the Mohai Ancient City and the Liuli Sect was too great, and the Mohai Ancient City would be completely wiped out by the Liuli Sect directly from the Tiannan Region if one was not careful, so Shangguan Zhong was prepared for both at the beginning.
While ordering the masters of Mohai Ancient City to prepare for the battle with all their might, he let Shangguan Yu and other young people secretly blend into the convoy transporting resources, and transferred them to the Longjiang Ancient City unknowingly.
After coming to the ancient city of Longjiang, Shangguan Yu immediately received a report from the spies of the ancient city of Mohai, and learned that Zhu Longkong, Qiu Wanzhong and others were preparing to launch a rebellion. Shangguan Yu secretly deployed masters around the Zhu family, and when all the leaders of these forces arrived, they were successfully wiped out.
Originally, the combined power of these forces was not small, except for the strong man of the Martial King himself, it was impossible for Shangguan Yu and others to take them down. But in order not to arouse suspicion, Qiu Wanzhong, Yang Liuzhi and others did not bring many guards to this rally, so after Shangguan Yu broke into the basement with his subordinates, these people were completely subdued without much resistance.
"Shangguan Yu, why are you here?"
Zhu Longkong, who was presiding over this assembly, recognized Shangguan Yu's identity, and immediately asked Shangguan Yu with a shocked face after being subdued by the master of Mohai Ancient City.
The leaders of the other forces were also shocked when they heard Zhu Longkong's words, and a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Because Shangguan Yu, as the daughter of the city lord of the Mohai Ancient City, her every move attracted the attention of the outside world, and these forces in the Longjiang Ancient City also sent spies to closely monitor the movements in the Mohai Ancient City City Lord's mansion. However, they didn't know anything about Shangguan Yu leaving Mohai Ancient City and coming to Longjiang Ancient City, and this fact immediately made the leaders of these forces extremely frustrated, and even felt that their action against Mohai Ancient City could not be successful from the beginning.
"This question, let's think about it when you get to the prison!"
Shangguan Yu didn't answer Zhu Longkong's question after hearing him, but waved his hand at the powerhouse of Mohai Ancient City with a cold face, and asked them to escort Zhu Longkong and the others out of the basement directly and move towards the prison of the City Lord's Mansion in Longjiang Ancient City.
Seeing this, the leaders of these forces all followed the people of Mohai Ancient City with a dejected face, as if their fighting spirit had been wiped out. Because they knew that these people who were gathered today alone could not be the opponents of Shangguan Yu and the others. If they dared to resist, even if they were killed on the spot by Shangguan Yu and others, it would be no wonder that others would be killed.
Seeing that Zhu Longkong and the others were escorted away one by one, Shangguan Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but there was not much joy on his face.
On the one hand, even if she controlled Zhu Longkong and Qiu Wanzhong and the others, she didn't dare to really kill them all. Because of the death of the leaders of these forces, the major forces of the Longjiang Ancient City will definitely lose control completely, and it will be difficult for them to continue to maintain their rule over the Longjiang Ancient City with only them, the martial masters of the Mohai Ancient City.
Rather than letting the Longjiang Ancient City fall into a complete rebellion, it is better to use these power leaders to deter the entire Longjiang Ancient City, so that the masters under their command will not dare to act rashly, until the Mohai Ancient City successfully survives this crisis. Therefore, Shangguan Yu just asked people to detain Zhu Longkong, Qiu Wanzhong and others, and did not threaten to execute them.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yu knew very well that they came to the ancient city of Longjiang this time, not to suppress the rebellion of the major forces, but to make the worst plan to come to the ancient city of Longjiang for refuge. Once the Mohai Ancient City was destroyed by the Liuli Sect, they were the last hope of the Mohai Ancient City, so they couldn't take it lightly.
While she took the masters of Mohai Ancient City to escort Zhu Longkong and the others to the prison, she looked up in the direction of Mohai Ancient City with a worried expression. Compared with the time when Ye Ye first arrived in Mohai Ancient City, Shangguan Yu's face obviously had a little more mature charm. Even though she really wanted to return to Mohai Ancient City to live and die with Ye Ye and the others, Shangguan Yu understood the burden on her body better, so in the end, she sighed and decided to wait for news in Longjiang Ancient City silently.
