Chapter 918: A False Alarm

Time passed little by little, half a day passed in a blink of an eye, and it was getting late.

The puppet city army never moved forward, nor retreated, just stayed in the distance, densely packed.

"What the hell are these guys in the puppet city doing? Fighting and not fighting, retreating and never retreating, do they want to use some tricks?" said the eagle-nosed man on the wall of Xuancheng.

Several commander-like people around Ejiu also whispered to each other for a while, obviously also having doubts, and they all spoke out to speculate on the puppet city's intentions.

But Eyao stood there without saying a word, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"City Lord, do we want..." Everyone guessed for a long time, but they didn't have any clues, but Emei remained silent, and the eagle-nosed man couldn't help asking.

"The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, there's no need to act too hastily. You send more people to patrol in several other directions to prevent surprise attacks, and at the same time send out scouts to find out how many people have come to the puppet city this time..." Eyao interrupted with a wave of his hand After listening to the eagle-nosed man's next words, he ordered.

Following the orders issued by Eji, everyone nearby took orders and left one by one, and soon only the eagle-nosed man was left here.

"City Master, why don't you call people from the other four cities here to defend against the enemy together? Although the four cities don't have many people, they are all elites with extraordinary combat power." The eagle-nosed man asked in a low voice.

"The situation of the battle is unclear at this moment, so there is no need to use their power for the time being." Ermao shook his head.

A trace of doubt flashed in the eagle-nosed man's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"I have some things to deal with, Shao Ying, I will leave this to you. If there is any change in the puppet city, you know what to do, and you don't need to ask me for instructions." The army glanced at it and said.

Shao Ying was stunned when he heard the words, and was about to ask a question, but Eyao had already turned and left, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Shao Ying stood helpless for a moment, then had to turn around to convey E's order.

Night fell quickly, and the armies of Xuancheng and Puppet City stood ready, but neither launched an attack, and the strange confrontation was maintained.

The moonlight was like water, gently shining on the wilderness near Xuancheng.

On a low mountain thousands of miles away from Xuancheng, a woman in a white dress stood quietly, looking up at the full moon in the sky, humming a song softly.

The woman wore a black veil on her face, so she couldn't see her face, but her graceful figure exuded an indescribable sense of seductiveness, and at the same time gave people a sense of innocence and purity.

Two diametrically opposed temperaments are intertwined, and people will fall into it just by looking at it.

"Fellow Daoist Sha Xin's 'Xuannv Mei' has made great progress. Congratulations. But fellow Daoist, who is near my Xuancheng, dares to leave the army and come here alone. You are really brave." An indifferent voice came, The woman in the white skirt flashed ten feet away in the void, and a black figure emerged out of thin air, it was Ezuo.

"Fellow Daoist E, if you want to do something, you can do it yourself." Sha Xin turned around slowly, and said in a lazy tone.

Her pure aura suddenly disappeared, and an overwhelming alluring power emanated from her, and the nearby moonlight and night wind seemed to become much gentler.

"Hmph!" E Kuai's pupils shrank slightly, and he snorted coldly, but he didn't make a move.

"I knew that Fellow Daoist E could distinguish right from wrong, and would not attack a weak woman indiscriminately." Sha Xin said with a chuckle.

"Don't talk about gossip, what is the purpose of your invitation to come here during the day, tell me quickly. If you want to provoke a war between the two cities again, Er will follow." Eh Siao seemed to have never seen Sha Xin's seductiveness, Said coldly.

"Fellow Daoist E has misunderstood, this time I came here not to provoke a war between the two cities, but to discuss with fellow Daoist E about other important matters." Sha Xin said with a slight smile.

While speaking, the aura on her body suddenly changed again, all the sense of charm disappeared, and the enchanting and graceful figure also lost all charm in an instant, the whole person seemed to have become an ordinary woman, inconspicuous .

"Important matter to discuss?" E Kuai shuddered again, and asked with a frown.

"Strictly speaking, I want to invite Fellow Daoist Ejima to do a big event together." Sha Xin smiled with her eyebrows bent.

"Fellow Daoist Sha Xin, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, you don't need to beat around the bush like this." E Kuai said faintly with a strange look in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist E, why pretend to be confused, the two of us have only been thinking about that for these years... and we have already found the location of the entrance, so Xuancheng should not eat alone." Sha reasoned. With hair hanging down from the temples, he said calmly.

Hearing these words, Ejiu's face froze, his expression changed for the first time, and a sharp look loomed in his eyes.

"Why do Fellow Daoist E look at my body with such eyes, the location of the entrance is not a coincidence to follow your Excellency to find it, but my puppet city spent countless thoughts and manpower, and found it after a little bit of exploration, it is absolutely fair and honest. "Sha Xin said generously.

"Whether this is the case, Fellow Daoist Sha knows, but you just said what you mean by eating alone. Since Fellow Daoist Sha has also discovered the entrance, he must have known the situation inside. It is so dangerous that Er did not enter in a short time The plan in it." Eyao snorted, then said calmly.

"Fellow Daoist E, is this a concubine who is a girl, and has little knowledge? Although I only discovered the entrance recently, I have also noticed that many natural dangers inside are gradually weakening. Presumably the natural dangers there are periodic changes. , this moment is the weakest period. And you Xuancheng held the five-city martial arts competition this time, and set such a heavy reward, isn't it for the purpose of selecting useful talents and going there." There was a hint of charm again.

Hearing the words, there was no change in his complexion, but a trace of coldness could not help but appear in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist E, although the danger at the entrance is weakening, the power of the natural danger is still beyond our human power to contend with. My puppet city thinks that I can't enter it, and relying on the power of your Xuancheng alone, the hope is close to that." It's slim. For the current plan, only the cooperation between the two of us is possible. That's why I will spare no effort to come here to discuss this matter with fellow daoist, and I hope fellow daoist E can make a wise decision." Sha Xin spoke abruptly. Turn, persuaded.

"What if I don't agree." Eji said word by word, his eyes flickering.

"The concubine has no choice but to start attacking Xuancheng from today until the low tide period of the entrance's natural danger passes, and none of you can even think about entering." Sha Xin said with a faint smile.

E's eyes were full of sternness, and a terrifying icy pressure burst out from his body, pressing towards Sha Xin overwhelmingly.

The void within a radius of tens of miles buzzed and trembled, and the ground also rumbled. A wave of storms centered on Ekuai, and rushed towards all directions, changing the color of the sky and the earth.

Sha Xin looked calm and stood there quietly, unaffected by the coercion of Era.

As soon as any storm in the surroundings touched his body, it immediately slid away automatically, and the corner of Sha Xin's clothes did not move at all.

E Kuai took a deep breath, the breath on his body faded like a tide, and the nearby storm gradually calmed down.

"How do you want to cooperate with fellow Daoist Sha?" Ejiu was silent for a moment, and then asked.

When Sha Xin heard this, her beautiful eyes curved, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

...

The night passed quickly.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the puppet city army that fought against each other overnight did not attack, but began to retreat.

It didn't take long for the puppet city army to disappear without a trace, and the defenders inside and outside Xuancheng also died down under the order of Ejiu.

A big battle ended in smoke.

The residents in Xuancheng, as well as Han Li and other outsiders were surprised, but also heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, if it is not necessary, no one wants to start a war with a strong enemy.

After a few days.

Inside the Bieyuan, Han Li sat cross-legged in his own room, his body surrounded by white stars, and he performed the "Heavenly Fiend Suppressing Prison Technique" to refine the power of the heavenly beast core.

The power of the stars contained in the core of the celestial beast is extremely huge. Even though he held the celestial bottle to help him refine it for many days, he still hadn't fully absorbed it.

Starlight flickered on a brand new profound aperture on his body, and it seemed to be opened faintly, but it still didn't open after all.

Han Li opened his eyes, but there was no sign of disappointment on his face. He stood up and went to the window, looking outside towards the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, five or six days have passed since the imminent battle.

After the puppet city army disappeared outside the city, it did not reappear, and it seemed that it really faded away.

However, although the puppet city retreated, the owner of the city of Ejiu had no intention of reopening the martial arts meeting in the five cities. People who had been in the other four cities stayed in the other garden these days and were not allowed to go out for a walk.

But in the early morning today, E Kuai suddenly summoned Chen Yang and other city lords of the four cities, for some reason.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Han Li raised his eyebrows and opened the door. It was an attendant of Qingyang City.

The man was surprised when he saw Han Li coming out suddenly, and then he respectfully said, "Senior Li, the City Lord invites you to go over."

"Understood." Han Li nodded, glanced in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and then walked towards Chenyang's residence.

After a while, he came to Chen Yang's residence, but the door was closed tightly.

Han Li frowned slightly, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when the door opened automatically, revealing a gap.

"Friend Daoist Li, come in." Chen Yang's voice came from inside.

Han Li's heart moved, and he walked in.

The door behind him closed automatically with a "snap", and at the same time a layer of white light appeared on the stone door, completely isolating it from the outside.

Han Li's heart moved again, and he looked into the room. Apart from Chen Yang, there were only two people in the room at the moment, but they were Gu Qianxun and Xuanyuan Xing. Taoist Xie still stood expressionlessly behind Chen Yang.

Han Li was secretly surprised. He thought that Chen Yang called him here to explain the current situation in Xuancheng to them. He never thought that only the three of them were called here, and he didn't know what the purpose was?
