Not long after the two men went in, Ling Tian took advantage of the night and used the light body technique. With a little effort, he jumped to the top of the city wall. After a few jumps, he hid in the city.

"Ah Hui, did you see a shadow floating by?"

"Float over? From the city wall?"

Ah Hui's nod made the man sneer. "I wonder if you're hallucinating from hunger? That's ten meters high, bro. Who has that ability? It would have been easy a few years ago, but now? Even three meters is a stretch."

"But I clearly..."

"Alright, focus on guarding the gate. We've recently received news that the Federation a hundred miles away is in frequent contact with the Dragon Gang. They are very likely to join forces to attack us. Remember not to be distracted."

Inside the city, Ling Tian hid in the dark corner of a stone bungalow, spreading his spiritual thoughts. After a moment, Ling Tian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the city lord was actually an acquaintance of his.

…

"Brother, let's fight it out. If we continue like this, we will have no chance of survival."

"Arnold, don't be impulsive. We are the only two left among the five brothers. I will never put you in danger. At worst, I can give the tree to them."

"No, this is a sacred tree. We are alive because of it. If we give it to them, do you think they will let us go?"

Arnold strongly opposed Lei Zeyu's idea because he knew the character of the two gangs and they would never let us go.

"I know what you said, but what else can I do now? Just take one step at a time... Who?"

As he was speaking, Lei Zeyu suddenly felt a strange breath, screamed in surprise, and instantly pulled out a dagger and stabbed forward.

After a clang sound, the dagger could not penetrate half an inch from the opponent's chest, which was ten centimeters away. A chill spread throughout his body. When he was about to retreat, a familiar voice was heard.

"Brother Lei, you're still as charming as ever after not seeing you for so many years, haha!"

"Boss!"

The two of them shouted in unison, alarming the guards outside the door and causing them to rush in.

"Boss, what happened?"

"It's okay, you guys go out, don't come in and disturb us if there's nothing."

"Oh, by the way, tell the kitchen to prepare something, and pick two leaves of the sacred tree and bring them in."

"yes!"

Several guards looked at the unfamiliar Ling Tian with curiosity, then left the room and went to the periphery to guard.

As soon as the guards left, Lei Zeyu and Zhao Yongnuo hugged Ling Tian and sat down, asking about his well-being. It was unclear whether it was just for show or if they really meant it.

"Boss, come and sit down. It's been four or five years since we last met. Are you feeling well?"

"After some accidents, you ended up stranded in another place. You guys are doing pretty well, even becoming city lords, haha!"

"No, we just want to survive. Now it's not like before. Everything depends on our own hands. Fortunately, our group of brothers are still relatively united, so we managed to survive in the cracks."

"Yeah, by the way, where are they?"

Ling Tian's words made Lei Zeyu and the other two feel sad. They sighed and slowly told the story of the three of them.

"Perhaps this is their fate. Don't be too sad. Live well and don't let their sacrifice go to waste."

Knock knock knock~

"Come in!"

The door opened, and several men in aprons came in carrying several plates of tender white grass roots and two plump green leaves.

"Boss, I don't have any good greetings, don't mind."

"It's not easy, I understand."

Ling Tian had already learned through his divine sense that the best food here was the grass roots in front of him. He was a little surprised that they were treated in such a standard. He was just a casual acquaintance with them and their friendship was not very deep.

"Hey, this leaf..."

Ling Tian's attention was attracted by the remote green leaves. He picked up a leaf and felt the traces of spiritual power emanating from it. This surprised him. This was definitely a spiritual plant.

"Boss, try it. This is a sacred tree. Eating one piece can replenish your energy for the whole day. It's magical."

Just as Ling Tian was trying, several guards outside rushed in in a panic. "Boss, this is bad! The Union and the Dragon Gang launched a surprise attack. The city gate has been breached."

"What? How is that possible?"

Lei Zeyu was shocked by the guard's words, but he didn't quite believe it. He knew very well what kind of forces the Federation and the Dragon Gang were. Although their combat power was higher than theirs, it was absolutely impossible for them to break through the defense line of Stone City and come in.

"It's the real gang leader. The other side suddenly has an expert, a flying toad walking on walls, who jumped over our wall and opened the city gate in one go."

"Let's go and take a look. Boss, I'm so sorry, Ah Hu, please lead this distinguished guest out through the secret passage and make sure he leaves safely."

Lei Zeyu arranged things like a machine gun, and before Ling Tian could react, he had already pulled Zhao Yongnuo and rushed out in a hurry.

"Hello, this is an emergency. Please follow me... Where is the person?"

......

Outside, Lei Zeyu and his group protected the seriously injured Zhao Yongnuo, but their eyes were full of fear. The opponent was too powerful, and even Zhao Yongnuo, the strongest fighter in their gang, could not withstand a single move.

"Boss Lei, stop resisting. Our Master Jiang is someone you mortals can contend with. Hand over the sacred tree and join our two gangs, or else you will end up like Zhao Yongnuo."

"Boss, fight them!"

Lei Zeyu glanced at his brothers behind him, clenched his fists, and then relaxed them helplessly. He knew that the result of the fight would definitely be annihilation of the entire army. The mysterious man on the other side was too powerful, just like the second or third level supernatural powers.

"Okay, I agree."

"The leader is wrong."

"Yeah, don't agree to it...hiccup~"

As the man was speaking, suddenly a sword energy flew past and the man was beheaded.

"Arong~"

"Noisy!"

Jiang Rui said impatiently, "My patience is limited. Bring the tree to me quickly. If it weren't for the fact that you have some use for me, I would have killed you all long ago. If I don't see what I want in a quarter of an hour, I will massacre this place. Humph!"

"Don't kill us, we'll give it to you!"

Lei Zeyu was extremely distressed at the loss of another brother, but he was powerless to do anything. He had no choice but to follow the man's instructions and bring the sacred tree over.

Jiang Rui's methods completely made everyone in the Stone Gang lose the idea of ​​resistance.

......

"Immortal cultivator!"

In the darkness, Ling Tian, ​​who was watching the changes, was shocked. The man who had just spoken was actually a cultivator like him, and judging from his attack just now, he was no worse than him.

"If we subdue him, we might be able to obtain a lot of resources and more information about the cultivation world, but his strength is not low."

Just when Ling Tian was hesitating whether to take action, an excited voice caught his attention.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be the Rongling Fruit Tree. This trip is really the right one."
