Chapter 218: Danger in the Small City
“I just received news that the bandits have gathered tens of thousands of warriors, and there are dozens of saint level masters among them. I’m not sure if there are any supreme masters among them.”
Big sister frowned and took a deep breath. She was obviously shocked by this news.
“There are dozens of saint level masters?”
Liu Xiu’s heart trembled.
Needless to say, there must be masters at the advanced saint level, or even at the peak saint level.
If there were one or two advanced saint-level masters, she would still be able to deal with them. If there were too many of them, then the Liu family would be at a dead end.
Right now, there were only women left in the Liu family, old and weak. They were no match for the other party at all.
“I’m not sure about the exact figures, but it’s impossible for there to be fewer of them.”
Big sister’s gaze was downcast.
A strand of white hair hung down from her forehead, and big sister gently pushed it back behind her ear.
A hint of feminine gentleness was revealed in her firm resolve.
“What about the Zhou family? How did they react?”
Liu Xiu asked.
From the looks of it, it was impossible to get out of the situation by relying close on the Liu family.
“We don’t know yet!”
“I’ll go and ask the Zhou family. There are so many bandits, and just having our Liu family isn’t a match for them at all. If we join forces with the Zhou family, we might still have a chance to fight.”
“What you can think of, the bandits outside the city have also thought of it. They must have taken the strength of the Zhou family into consideration. I’m afraid that the Zhou family will also have a headache!”
“Perhaps the Zhou family might have a way?”
“Deceiving the bandits again? Impossible. Last time, if it wasn’t for the senior who confirmed our deception, the city wouldn’t have been peaceful for so many years. In these few years, there were still many bandits probing, and it was all the hard work of the people.”
The two of them fell silent.
They didn’t dare to think about the bandits surrounding the city.
Thinking about it carefully, Liu Xiu felt that it was a terrifying situation.
“I’ll go out and ask around!”
Coming out of the hall, Liu Xiu looked up at the sky.
In these three years, who knew how many bandits had secretly made a move, and how many hostile forces were eyeing them from outside of the city.
Especially in the last three years, the Roc Clan took revenge, and many large cities were destroyed.
The Orc experts were all captured and killed by the Roc Clan.
There were a huge number of refugees in Fenglan, and thosewith some money hid in the small city.
The small city quickly entered a period of explosive development.
Many merchants stayed here, and the resources in the city were much more abundant than before.
Three years ago, two of the most powerful experts in the city were barely able to protect the city.
In the current situation, even if the Zhou and Liu families didn’t lose their strength, they couldn’t deal with the complicated situation in the city.
There were experts among the refugees in the city, and naturally, there were experts among the refugees outside the city as well.
Many refugees had no choice but to become bandits because of they had to survive.
Since these bandits had gathered, they naturally did not place any importance on the forces in the city.
On the surface, there were dozens of saint-level experts, but in reality, who knew how many experts were hiding among them.
“Husband, where have you been?”
If only her husband were here.
In the Zhou clan study, the young man woke up from his cultivation.
“Fourth level of the Perfected Person Realm! Haha!”
He flipped open the dusty and dirty secret manual, then threw it into the fire.
In the past four years, he had flipped through the secret manual countless times. He clearly remembered every word in the secret manual.
“No one would have thought that there would be an expert of the intermediate stage from the Perfected Person Realm in this city! Even grandfather, great-grandfather, and the others wouldn’t have thought of it.”
Tears fell from the corners of the young man’s eyes as he smiled.
So what if he was at the intermediate stage of the Perfected Person Realm?
Grandfather and the others would never be able to see his achievements again, and there were also martial artists of the intermediate stage in the Perfected Person Realm among the refugees.
It was just that for various reasons, they had hidden themselves from the world.
Once an accident occurred in the city, he believed that these people would not hesitate to seize the position of their Zhou family and take over the entire city.
In addition, there were many experts among the warriors outside the city.
That group of barbarians were eyeing the city covetously.
After being disappointed for a moment, they appeared on the city wall in a flash.
“Do you want to show your skills now to intimidate the people inside and outside the city?”
Eh?
That person from the Liu family left the city.
Whoosh
A moment later, a burst of chaos erupted outside the city, followed by all kinds of auras pouncing toward the city wall.
One of the auras locked onto the young man, as if warning him not to make a move.
After a long while, a beautiful figure returned to the city with traces of blood.
“She’s injured!”
From the beginning to the end, the young man did not have the chance to make a move.
The aura that surrounded the young man only disappeared when he returned to the Liu family with the beautiful figure.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! As expected, there are experts keeping an eye on the city.”
The young man cursed.
This was an opportunity to test the city’s strength and not forget to warn the experts in the city who wanted to make a move.
It seemed that their city was determined to be won.
“d.a.m.n it!”
The youth said hatefully.
Helpless!
His was still lacking a little strength.
What should he do?
Defending the city was already impossible.
If he hid and continued cultivating, he would definitely be able to come back one day and take back the city.
It was just that the Zhou family’s many years of foundation was about to be destroyed.
And the Liu family.
He couldn’t care about them anymore.
In thee Liu family, Liu Xiu swallowed a pill.
“How’s the situation outside the city?”
Big Sister stared at Liu Xiu.
They were nervous and worried!
They wanted to know what was happening outside, but were afraid of it too.
Yet, while they were scared, they still had to think about it.
“We don’t have a chance. There are at least 30 to 40 saint level masters. If it wasn’t for the fact that I ran fast and had a lot of pills in my hands, we would have been defeated by now”
“In addition, I also found several obscure auras staring at me. If it wasn’t for the same obscure aura that appeared in the city and restrained them, we would definitely be finished this time.”
Liu Xiu said slowly.
She was listless, and her eyes were filled with fear.
They had miscalculated!
Everything wasn’t what they had thought.
The people outside the city were determined to obtain it
“What?”
After hearing this, Big Sister’s face was ashen.
She didn’t doubt Liu Xiu’s judgment in the slightest.
“There are many experts of the Perfected Person Realm among the bandits outside the city. Some of them are even in the intermediate stage of the Perfected Person Realm!”
Liu Xiu told her about the situation she had found out.
“This means that the bandits outside the city are also involved.”
Big Sister sat down on the ground.
There was only the sound of breathing in the room. The two of them did not speak for a long time.
Experts in the intermediate stage of the Perfected Person Realm. Even if their Liu family seniors were alive, they would not be a match for these experts.
And now, there were still many Perfected Persons.
The most important thing was that there were still many of them in the city.
Even if the Liu family cooperated with the Zhou family, they would not stand a chance.
Now, ensuring their survival had become a problem.
Outside the city!
In the camp.
The scarred face glanced at his brothers with a gloomy expression.
“There’s actually another person at the intermediate stage of the Perfected Person Realm in the city. Our intelligence is wrong!”
Scarface said as he stared at Old Goatee, who was in charge of the information.
“Then isn’t he on par with us?”
The bald man who was sitting on the right seat suddenly stood up and stared at Old Goatee with a fierce gaze.
“Every hidden Perfected Person expert in the city is in our records. When did another one appear?”
Old Goatee looked at Scarface and saw that he wasn’t lying.
Then, he pinched his beard and said gloomily.
“I’m going to enter the city tomorrow. I don’t want any problems to appear at this time.”
Scarface’s sharp gaze swept the surroundings.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the tent was depressed.
“I’ll go and look for this person. If he can be neutral, that would be best. If not, even if I have to risk my life, I’ll injure him heavily and try to obtain a safe place for our Mount Mudu Sect.”
Old Goatee wiped off his sweat.
Then, he entered the city.
On the street, Old Goatee slowly scanned the surrounding courtyards and searched bit by bit.
There was still a person in the intermediate stage of the Perfected Person Realm in the city?
How was that possible!
The experts who entered the city were all being watched by him, and the other Perfected Persons were also being found by him, one after another.
When did such an expert first appear?
Such a low-key master should not meddle in other people’s business.
