The housekeeper's lobbyist left, and the head of the Zhai family sat alone in the room and fell into deep thought, it could be seen that his heart was very conflicted, and the messenger had been unconsciously pinched into several pieces by him, and he was still unaware.

Thinking back to a year ago, the four early stage monks of the Four Cities had a meeting, judging from the chaos in the Western Regions today, there are three medium-sized families around the Four Cities who have been eyeing the Four Cities, but because the three families check and balance each other and have scruples about each other, none of the three families has been rash to make a move on the Four Cities, just for fear that the other two families will take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation and rob it. After the four real heads of the four families met, they also discussed whether to take the initiative to find a family to take refuge, so that they could also put forward some conditions with the other party, so as not to completely become a pawn in the hands of the other party. After some analysis, among the three medium-sized families, the housekeeper is the most domineering and the most powerful, and the clan has two mid-stage ancestors and more than a dozen early-stage cultivators, which is slightly stronger than the other Zhong Luo family. The other two families each have a mid-stage Soul Building monk sitting in the clan, and the early Stage Soul Building monks are no more than a hand, and a single family will not be able to please the upper housekeeper, but if the housekeeper dares to make a move against any of the two, he will definitely be hindered by a third party who is cold-lipped, and the Zhongluo family also has many suspicions on weekdays and is not an alliance, so the three have maintained this relationship for a long time. It stands to reason that it is the best policy for Sicheng to take refuge in the butler, the thickest tree, but He Ziyan analyzed that if Sicheng joins the butler, the strength of the butler is equivalent to going up to a higher level again, and he is already fully capable of dragging any of the two Zhongluo families and going all out to eat the remaining one, so that the four cities will inevitably become the pawns of the steward to annex all the surrounding forces, for the four families, whether it is to act as cannon fodder in the process of annexation and lose a lot of manpower and financial resources, or to help the housekeeper complete the annexation and be unloaded and killed, it will not end well, but it is better to join any of the other two to strengthen the mutual checks and balances between the three, so that the three families continue to coexist peacefully, and everyone maintains the current comfortable life.

This opinion was accepted by the other three, and in the end, after some selection, the four decided to throw an olive branch to Zhongluo and the two families, and choose the one with the most favorable conditions to join. But without waiting for the four families to take action, the housekeeper found the four at this time, both the attitude and the conditions offered were extremely harsh, almost charity, and the four families naturally would not agree, and the two sides broke up unhappily. The four families realized that offending the housekeeper would definitely attract revenge, so they split up and followed the Zhong Luo family closely, and finally chose the Zhong family, who had always been in the same power as the housekeeper. The Zhong family also promised that as long as the four families publicly announced their alliance with the Zhong family, they would provide the maximum protection to the four families, and it was He Ziyan who talked to the head of the Zhong family, and it was Guan Wenjie who came to talk to the four families at that time. This matter has been operated for nearly a year, and it was originally going to be more than ten days later, and the four cities were going to jointly announce an alliance with the Zhong family, but they didn't expect that the housekeeper had been holding a grudge against the four families and secretly keeping an eye on the movements of the four families, and he had secretly planned the annexation and invasion plan of the four cities.

When the housekeeper, who had had some friendship with the head of the Zhai family, came to Tungsten City to find him, he directly mentioned that the housekeeper was going to attack He Ziyan's city, and advised the head of the Zhai family to make a decision with the city as soon as possible to protect himself and switch to the housekeeper. The head of the Zhai family didn't believe that the housekeeper really dared to rashly launch an attack on the four cities under the noses of the other two families, but he didn't want the other party to tell him, because the four cities fell to the Zhong family, which made the Luo family feel the crisis, so the housekeeper attacked the four cities, and the Luo family would not intervene, so that only the Zhong family was left, and it was even more impossible for the Zhong family to really fight with the housekeeper for the sake of the four cities, so in the end, only the four cities were really unlucky. After the housekeeper eats the side of the four cities, it must take some time to digest, so the Zhongluo family can also get a certain period of stable life, and there is no need to worry about the housekeeper.

After listening to the explanation of the housekeeper, and then receiving a summons for help from the He family in Bincheng, the head of the Zhai family really believed the other party's words, and the incense bait that the housekeeper threw to the head of the Zhai family was actually only a little beneficial to him as a spiritual cultivator, which might allow him to really go further, but for the entire Zhai family and even the entire Tungsten City, there was no benefit. The head of the Zhai family understands very well that the housekeeper only does this to see that his identity as a spiritual monk still has a certain weight and help to the housekeeper, and the others can't get into the eyes of the other party at all, if he agrees to the housekeeper, it is actually equivalent to selling the Zhai family to Tungsten City, in exchange for only his own promotion. He was also caught in a difficult choice about this, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

Pan Wei is a mid-eighth order cultivator, with a fiery temper and impulsive actions, and he is the ancestor of the Pan family in the Plating City. After he received the summons for help from the He family in Bincheng, he immediately organized hundreds of sixth- and seventh-order monks to rush to the rescue of Bincheng with him. Plating City does not have the same opportunity as He Ziyan, he can get a sixth-order city defense array and has a fifth-order array mage personally in charge, although Pan Wei is impulsive, he is not stupid, he left half of the seventh-order monks before leaving, and told them to guard the door of their homes strictly. However, before he and his group went far, they encountered two early stage monks and nearly fifty seventh-order monks to block, people did not need to report to their homes Pan Wei also understood that this was a team arranged by the housekeeper to block the reinforcements, after the two sides met, they started a fight, after one of the monks entangled Pan Wei to the death, the other actually went to kill the city, which frightened Pan Wei, a monk was enough to completely destroy the defense of the current city and destroy the monks who defended the city, he hurriedly took his own people to fight and retreat all the way back to the city。 The butler's monk who rushed to the Plating City seemed to be just bluffing, and after Pan Wei honestly retracted back to the Plating City, he joined up with the other butler monks, and was so far away from the gate of the Plating City, like a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any time, completely killing the Plating City's desire to rescue the Plating City. Not only that, the news of the war has spread in Plating City, and now everyone in Plating City is in danger, panicking all day long, and there are thieves who are adding fuel and vinegar to take advantage of the fire to rob, Pan Wei is also tired of coping, and he is a little anxious. The current situation is obvious, after the city is broken, it will be the turn of the other three cities, this can not be saved, so there is only escape, but if he escapes, Pan Wei himself will definitely be able to escape, so what about the others? With two spiritual monks closely watching, it is not so easy to leave. Before the city was besieged, it had already fallen into a gloomy atmosphere.

Meng Yixiang, the head of Huacheng, is a person with a heart, after he received the summons for help from Huacheng, he immediately sealed the city, so that the children of the Meng family began to strictly control Huacheng, and at the same time he sent a large number of scout monks to investigate in all directions to see if there was also an army of monks to attack Huacheng. As a result, the people sent out quickly reported back a message that in the direction of the city, there were two spiritual monks who were waiting for the rabbit with a wave of people to intercept the reinforcements heading to the city. After thinking about it, Meng Yixiang also figured out the intention of the housekeeper's move, the current situation is that both prosperity and loss are lost, and the other three will soon be the end of the city, so this rescue is absolutely urgent and imperative. Meng Yixiang made some careful deployment in Huacheng, and after making sure that he could withstand the opponent's attack for a few days, he planned to teleport to Bincheng alone to help in the battle. However, before he could set off, a woman came to the door, and the person who came was also a monk in the early stage of spiritual building whose cultivation was not weaker than his own. This woman proposed to go to the city with Meng Yixiang, because she already knew about the siege of the city, and she had an extremely important person there who needed to be rescued, so she wanted to have a temporary companion with Meng Yixiang. Meng Yixiang didn't trust this female cultivator who had come out of nowhere in his life, in such an extraordinary period, at least vigilance should be, who knows if this person was deliberately set up by the housekeeper to catch himself in the bait. After some communication, the two finally agreed to keep a safe distance from each other, and once they encountered resistance, the female cultivator would take the lead, which made Meng Yixiang let down a little guard and reluctantly agreed to go along.

Sure enough, after the two of them left the city, they were intercepted by the housekeeper monks, and the two early stage monks of the other side were obviously a little stunned when they saw that two monks of the same rank had walked out of the city, which seemed to be completely out of the scope of their own intelligence, otherwise they would not have arranged only two monks to block outside the city. That female cultivator is Li Nianqiu, after she got the news that Pincheng was trapped, she was also a little worried about Lu Yi's safety, and then secretly paid attention to the movements of Huacheng, and saw that Meng Yixiang seemed to be intending to rescue, so she came to the door. Now that the two of them are facing each other's two monks of the same rank, if they want to break through, they must compete first, so the four of them did not hesitate to find an opponent to fight.

This time, the front and rear gates of the city gate were attacked at the same time, which made the defenders in the city who were already at a disadvantage even more overstretched, and the pressure of the city defense array also increased significantly, as more than half of the seventh-order monks of the housekeeper joined the battle, the situation deteriorated even more, as a last resort, He Ziyan put all the reserve forces into the battle, and he was now planning how to preserve the vital force to the greatest extent in case the city was broken。
