When I turned my head and looked at the city wall, the entire Xuan Jing Division was surrounded by people. The walls around Xuan Jing Division were full of warriors wearing blue clothes and carrying long swords. No need to look at their skills, just their immovable aura was enough to prove that this was a well-trained and fierce group of warriors.
This time, not only me, but even Sun Yifan and Lin Jingyuan showed expressions of horror on their faces.
Before we could say anything, Hua Yanyu slowly walked out from behind the warriors and said, "My fellow warriors, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to meet again in this way."
I said in a deep voice: "What does Taixu Holy Land mean by this? Does Taixu Holy Land want to interfere in the personal feud between me and Xuanjing Division?"
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "Of course I won't ask about the grudge between you and Xuan Jingsi. But if you want to change your fate, I must ask."
My face darkened and I asked, "Are you also a protector?"
"I am the sky!" Hua Yanyu said with a smile, "Don't you know that 'Taixu' means 'sky'?"
Hua Yanyu moved her feet on the top of the city wall: "If we count by seniority, you should call me Uncle Master."
I was shocked and asked, "Are you the descendant of the Half Life Dao? Are you the Heavenly Vein?"
"You're right." Hua Yanyu said, "Since the first time the Half-Life Nine Sons changed their fates, Tianmai has become their protector. For many years, whenever the Nine Sons changed their fates, Tianmai would secretly stop them. This is why the Nine Sons have never been united."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Why are you doing this? Wasn't there any Heavenly Vein among the Half Life and Ten Regrets back then?"
"Hahaha..." Hua Yanyu laughed, "What does Tianmai hate? Heaven is unfair. Who says Heaven must be fair? Since Heaven is inherently unfair, what do we have to hate? Just follow Heaven's arrangements. Besides..."
Hua Yanyu paused and said, "After punishing you evildoers who intend to defy the heaven, the heaven will also reward you. Hasn't Tianmai already obtained the Taixu Holy Land, which is the number one in the art of magic?"
Lin Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "So, the reason why you have been unwilling to completely eliminate the Nine Half-Life Sons is to obtain the reward from the Heavenly Dao."
"Only by nurturing thieves can one respect himself. Isn't this an eternal truth?" Hua Yanyu said as a matter of course, "The Holy Lord in the past was too impatient and did not wait for the Half Life Path to accumulate strength before he took action to destroy it. In this way, how much reward could the Taixu Holy Land get? Now, you have even killed the guardians designated by the Tianmai. If I take action to destroy you, I should get more rewards, right?"
Hua Yanyu seemed to be talking to herself, but my heart sank to the bottom.
No wonder the Prajna Temple closed the gate after handing me the Tongtian Mirror;
No wonder the Red Mansion has remained inactive;
No wonder the Gate of Hell never shows up...
It turned out that they had long known that Taixu Holy Land was the real protector, they just didn't want to wade into the muddy water between those who rebelled against the heavens and the protector.
Hua Yanyu raised her voice and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, don't you want to show up and see me?"
"Gu Piaoran?"
When I turned around and looked around, Gu Piaoran really walked out from the crowd: "Junior Sister Hua, long time no see."
Hua Yanyu said: "You said you would never lie to me in your life, but you still lied. You said the time to defy the heavens would be in an hour, but what did you bring? Is it the Tongtian Treasure Mirror? Has the reversal of destiny already begun?"
Gu Piaoran sighed and said, "Whatever you think, the feud between the Nine Half-Life Sons will come to an end anyway."
"That's right!" Hua Yanyu waved her hand and said, "Kill!"
The Taixu warriors standing on the top of the city wall simultaneously raised their crossbows and pointed them at the city below.
"Meet the enemy!"
"Take back the city wall!"
After Sun Yifan and Lin Jingyuan gave the order, arrows rained down from the city walls and below. The two sides shot at each other across the city walls, but the Xuan Jing Division suffered a great loss due to the unfavorable terrain. After a great battle, the Xuan Jing Division sorcerers fell to the ground one after another, but only a few Taixu warriors fell from the city walls.
Sun Yifan roared, "The second-rank warlocks and above of the Demon Slayer Hall, follow me to charge into the formation. The rest of you, protect Wu Zhao!"
When the master of the Demon Slaying Hall came out in response, Lin Jingyuan also shouted sternly: "First-class sorcerer of the Lin family, follow me to meet the enemy!"
The two roared and fought against the arrows flying all over the sky, flying towards the top of the city wall, and in a flash they were fighting with the masters on the city wall. Taixu Holy Land only sent two teams to catch Sun Yifan and Lin Jingyuan, but most of the masters were still pouring arrows into the city. As Gu Piaoran and I retreated, the warlocks guarding us also fell one after another.
The Xuanjing Division, which has suffered heavy casualties, is definitely no match for the Taixu Holy Land. It won't be long before they are all killed by the other side. I couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Old man, don't you have any backup plan?"
"I..." While Gu Piaoran was hesitating, I suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise coming from outside the city. When I looked out, I saw a tower-like building suddenly rising behind the four city walls. A large number of warriors in black appeared from the tower and shot arrows at the Taixu warriors from above.
Hua Yanyu used the sudden energy waves from her body to push the flying arrows far away, and then she spoke up: "Jiu Chong Pavilion! The last ambush of the Half Life Path is indeed you."
Shen Lin stepped on the tower and said coldly: "The sky is ten stories high, and the tower is nine stories high. When my tower reaches the tenth floor, it will be the day when the tower defies the heavens."
Hua Yanyu said in a deep voice: "Is the Jiuchong Pavilion now ten stories high?"
Shen Lin said in a deep voice: "The Nine-Layered Pavilion still only has the Nine-Layered Pavilion, but we, the descendants of the Earth Vein, don't want to wait any longer. If the Tenth Pavilion doesn't come out, we will still go against the heavens."
Hua Yanyu sneered and said, "You are destined to fail in defying the will of heaven, and the Half-Life Path is destined to be completely cut off today."
As Hua Yanyu waved her hand, the sorcerers surrounding her suddenly tore off the blue robes covering their bodies, soared into the sky, and rushed straight towards the Jiuchong Pavilion.
I watched as one of them emptied his palms and blasted towards Shen Lin, who raised his palms to meet them. After the palm power of the two men exploded in the air, the wooden pavilion under Shen Lin's feet exploded, and the wooden blocks as thick as bowls flew everywhere. No one could stop them, and Shen Lin's figure was also pressed down from the top of the city wall.
After only one fight, Shen Lin was already at a disadvantage, which showed how strong his opponent was. I couldn't help but look at Gu Piaoran: "Do you have any backup plan?"
Gu Piaoran said: "Now it's up to you."
I was surprised and asked, “What do you mean?”
Gu Piaoran said: "If you can touch the thread of fate, we can all be saved; if you fail, we will surely die. Wait, the one who sent you against the will of heaven will be here soon."
Not long after Gu Piaoran finished speaking, I heard footsteps coming from the direction of the Xuanjing Division's main gate. When I looked back, I saw my grandfather walking in from outside with hundreds of people.
"Master..." I was about to rush forward, but stopped.
That's not my grandfather, definitely not. He only looks like my grandfather, but his temperament is completely different. Who is he
“This… this…” Gu Piaoran was also stunned.
It seems that Gu Piaoran originally thought that "my grandfather" would bring experts to reinforce, but he didn't expect that he only brought a group of fortune tellers with white banners. Just from the way they walked, it can be seen that they are just ordinary people who set up stalls to tell fortunes on the streets. What can they do
The moment this group of people appeared, Hua Yanyu's expression changed: "Kill those fortune tellers, quickly!"
The warriors on the city wall immediately turned their arrows towards the fortune tellers and fired at them. However, the blind fortune tellers seemed not to hear the whistling arrows overhead and continued to walk steadily towards the city.
"Hide quickly—" I subconsciously wanted to rush to rescue my grandfather, but I saw that the arrows that were as dense as a rainstorm suddenly lost their power near them, like leaves falling from the sky, falling to the ground one after another. Hundreds of fortune tellers strode towards us without noticing, stepping on the arrows on the ground.
Hua Yanyu, who was standing on the city wall, suddenly stood up and swooped down, slapping the center of the team with both palms. Before the opponent's palm wind could hit the top of the gentleman's head, a burst of energy suddenly burst out from the crowd and rushed towards Hua Yanyu. The collision of the two energies in the air made a loud sound that shook the earth. Hua Yanyu was pushed into the air, and the ground under the feet of the master who was attacking the opponent instantly exploded into a stone pattern.
The fortune teller's team quickly bypassed the man and continued to move forward. I also saw the man's face clearly—Dou Ma!
When Dou Ma looked up at Hua Yanyu, the latter sneered and said, "So you are the defeated general."
Dou Ma said coldly: "Have you ever defeated me?"
Hua Yanyu smiled and said, "At least, Gu Piaoran has never lied to me in his life. You lose on this point."
Dou Ma's face turned pale instantly, but Hua Yanyu took advantage of the situation and attacked Dou Ma fiercely. Dou Ma hesitated for a moment before falling into a disadvantage, but Hua Yanyu kept saying, "If a man from Rumor Sect never cheats on a woman in his life, what does that mean?"
"It means she's not worth lying to me!" Gu Piaoran suddenly said, "Hua Yanyu, I promised you that I would never lie to you in my life. Now I'm telling you that there is only one person in my heart, and that's Doudou."
"You lied to me!" Hua Yanyu roared, "Didn't you swear not to lie to me?"
Gu Piaoran said in a deep voice: "I really didn't lie to you. I only have Doudou in my heart. Yanyu, you are old now. You should know that when a man lies to a woman, it doesn't mean he doesn't love her."
"You..." Hua Yanyu's mind was shaken, and Dou Ma's palm storm rose up, instantly pushing the opponent back to a draw.
Hua Yanyu shouted angrily: "You lied to Huang Dou again and again, and she was even kicked out of Jiuchong Pavilion. Is it because you love her?"
Gu Piaoran said, "I am defying the will of heaven for Doudou. If I don't change my fate, I will die sooner or later. Rather than letting her follow me into danger, it is better to wait until I defy the will of heaven before telling her the truth. Besides, Jiuchong Pavilion is also accumulating strength, and dissidents must be eliminated in the process. Doudou's character is too straightforward, and it may not be a good thing for her to stay in Jiuchong Pavilion. It is better to let her out first."
"Every step Doudou takes is under my arrangement. It is enough for me to know that she is safe."
"Asshole!" Hua Yanyu roared, "If you can't let her go, I'll let her die in front of you today!"
"It's not certain who will die yet!" Dou Ma waved her palm again and forced Hua Yanyu away.
My grandfather also walked to the middle of the open space with a group of fortune tellers: "Gu Piaoran, let's start!" (To be continued)
