Chapter 1275 Haoyu's Little Mouse, Your Death Is Over
"What...what did you say?"
"How is this possible?"
"Si Huo City is Nan Jun's territory. Even if he destroys other cities, he has no reason to attack the cities under his command, right?"
"What good does this do him?"
No sooner had Gu Xiu finished speaking than Lin Qingyan couldn't help but retort.
This is actually a normal reaction.
This is also what puzzles most people, including the Lord of Si Huo City.
Even if you've had this guess in your mind to some extent, you still can't believe it's true.
After all, it's clear to everyone that the Twelve Cities of Ziwei are currently in turmoil, and a major war could break out at any moment. And following this line of thought, the final outcome will inevitably be a struggle for supremacy between the North and South.
Since it's a contest between two rulers, the competition must be about who controls more cities and has more skilled warriors.
The Southern Lord currently holds the advantage because he controls four cities. As long as he continues to expand and consolidate his advantage, the Northern Lord will have no way to resist.
Unless Nan Jun has gone mad, he has no reason to attack Si Huo City.
Isn't this tantamount to cutting off one's own arm?
"I asked you to investigate the Holy Flame Guards of the Holy Flame Palace. Have you found anything?" Gu Xiu asked.
Speaking of this, Lin Qingyan was somewhat disappointed: "We didn't gain much. We only know that Blazing Flame City has sent another batch of people, but they didn't enter the city. It was just the Holy Flame Palace of Si Huo City that came out to meet them, and then they disappeared. They kept walking in the gray fog, and my people couldn't follow them all the time."
“They want to break through the aurora barrier and summon the Silent Lord,” Gu Xiu said.
His tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about something trivial.
Lin Qingyan was stunned for a long time before her eyes widened suddenly: "You...you...you said...what did you say???"
As the young city lord, she obviously knew something about the Lonely Lord.
“I discovered this before I came to Sihuo City. Duke Wuwei has already led his men to guard the key points, and the two groups may have even clashed.” Gu Xiu said casually.
But these seemingly casual words sent chills down Lin Qingyan's spine.
"you……"
"Such an important thing, how come you're only now...only now..."
She wanted to question Gu Xiu about why he was only telling her now, but she couldn't continue, because she knew that even if Gu Xiu had told them beforehand, they probably wouldn't have believed him anyway, since it was too crazy.
"You little brat, you don't understand. We didn't say anything beforehand because we didn't want to alert them," Suixing explained on Gu Xiu's behalf.
“The previous group of Nan Jun’s men are all dead. Wu Wei Gong’s actions are also being carried out discreetly. Nan Jun is unaware that his plans have been discovered. Therefore, even if a new group of men is sent, their strength cannot be too great. With Wu Wei Gong’s strength, he will definitely be able to hold the line.”
“But if I tell you, not to mention whether you will believe me, even if you do, you will definitely send someone to investigate first. Your Sihuo City is like a sieve, and every move you make is being watched by Nan Jun. If you send someone out of the city, it will definitely be detected immediately.”
"Once Nan Jun finds out that you know about this, or even guesses that you will be on guard, what do you think Nan Jun will do?"
"There's no need to guess. Nan Jun will definitely mobilize his experts, and may even go in person. At that time, who can stop him?"
These words were so reasonable and well-founded that Lin Qingyan couldn't find a single fault with them.
indeed.
Their predictions were accurate.
only……
"Then tell me now...?"
“Nan Jun might not care too much about one failure, but he will definitely notice after two failures. So it’s impossible to stop him so easily the third time. It’s no use hiding it anymore,” Gu Xiu replied.
After hearing this, Lin Qingyan gritted her teeth:
"hateful!"
"Has Nan Jun gone mad?"
"How could he do something so heinous? He intends to destroy the Three Enclosures Sea of Evil and the Three Enclosures Human Race. Doesn't he fear divine retribution for doing this?"
"Aren't you people from the Three Enclosures of Sinful Sea all cursed by Heaven?" Xiaoyao Pei muttered from the side.
Lin Qingyan: ...
What you said makes perfect sense and is completely irrefutable.
Lin Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "Special Envoy Gu, what should we do next?"
Gu Xiu asked, "Can you contact other cities? It would be best if you could contact the Northern Lord."
Lin Qingyan's eyes lit up: "You mean... to use one wolf to devour another?"
“The emergence of the Silent Lord cannot be a matter of just one or two cities. In that case, it is not just us who should be involved. Moreover, since Lord Nan has taken action twice, he will be able to gather more evidence. Even if Lord Nan wants to deny that this matter is unrelated to him, it will be to no avail.”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyan finally understood.
It turns out that Gu Xiu hadn't mentioned Nan Jun's blood sacrifice to Ji Zun for another reason: he wanted to gather evidence so that Nan Jun could no longer deny it.
But soon, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but worry again: "Even if I publicize what Nan Jun did now, it won't solve the immediate problem, and I'm afraid no one can help us with the problems in Si Huo City."
“We don’t need anyone else’s help. As long as Nan Jun is preoccupied with his own troubles and unable to come to Si Huo City in person, then the problems of Si Huo City will not require anyone else’s assistance,” Gu Xiu said.
This……
No need for assistance from others?
Lin Qingyan found it hard to believe. She thought that the Holy Light Core of Si Huo City was almost exhausted, her mother was under house arrest, and there were still 80 million people in the city waiting to be evacuated.
Without outside help, many people will likely die.
Seeing Gu Xiu's confident demeanor, Lin Qingyan ultimately said nothing, bid farewell, and quickly left.
"She didn't seem to mention Xue Wuya this time?" Suixing discovered the blind spot.
Gu Xiu was not surprised: "Although Xue Wuyai is still suffering, no one will bother him in the short term, so he won't die for now. As for Lin Qingyan, as the young city lord, he needs to shoulder his responsibilities and will naturally not be blinded by love."
Sui Xing immediately began to lament: "This girl is not bad, what a pity, what a pity. What merit does Xue Wuyai have to be as lucky as you, Gu boy? You should be thinking about finding more Daoist partners."
Gu Xiu: ...
So you were waiting for me here?
Nothing happened the following day.
As evening fell, a large entourage entered the city, instantly transforming the once lifeless city of Sihuo into a brightly lit and bustling metropolis.
Even Gu Xiu temporarily stopped refining talismans and went out at Sui Xing's urging.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw a large number of Sihuo City residents already leaving the city, cheering joyfully.
"There's hope! Sihuo City is saved!"
"That's Master Pei from the Mohist Divine Path. It's said that he can distinguish the quality of the Sacred Wax Stones and then select the best ones to extend the life of the Sacred Light Core of our Sihuo City."
"Really? Isn't it said that even gods can't distinguish between good and bad sacred wax stones?"
"You don't understand, do you? This was said by the people of the Holy Fire Palace themselves. All those adults said so, how could it be false? Besides, Pei Yanzhou is the Ruler of the Mo Family Divine Path, with an extraordinary status. Such a person would never lie."
"That's wonderful! If it can really save our city, then we won't have to leave, right?"
"..."
Hearing these words, Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow and, looking past the crowd, saw Mo family's Pei Yanzhou walking at the very front amidst the adulation.
His face was somewhat pale, but whether it was the firelight or the praise around him, his pale face glowed with a rosy light, and he was beaming with pride. The gloom in his eyes disappeared, replaced by confidence.
Seeing this, Gu Xiu shook his head.
Shattered Star also let out a strange laugh:
"That fool, the Holy Fire Palace deliberately spread rumors about him, does he really think it's for his own good?"
"They can't even tell if they've framed him."
"If he succeeds, it will be because the Holy Fire Palace has a discerning eye. If he fails and harms Si Huo City, it will be because Pei Yanzhou deceived the world and is a sinner for all time. He will have to bear the blame for his death, while he is still happily laughing like an idiot."
As they were talking, Pei Yanzhou, who had been basking in the praise, subconsciously glanced over. When he saw Gu Xiu, a sinister smile instantly appeared on Pei Yanzhou's face:
"You little rat from Haoyu, how dare you come to Sihuo City?"
"It seems..."
"Your time to die is coming."
