Chapter 35: Killing Each Other The next second, the will-o'-the-wisp flames jumped onto her body,...
Zhao Chaoan flew to the pillar next to him and flapped his wings, staring at Zhao Qingxun without blinking. Zhao Qingxun also did not move at all, just lowered his head as if in deep thought.
She didn't know whether Zhao Qingxun was truly aware of the filth hidden within the sect, or was just pretending and had been assimilated.
She discovered it much earlier than Zhao Qingxun, because the compassion she felt at that time was contrary to the actions of her peers in the sect. After she took Ying Bu Ran away, she had been investigating Tian Nu and naturally found out a lot of shady dealings.
As for Zhao Qingxun in this timeline, it can be said that he has always been a "good boy" and has never been suspected or investigated. Of course, she didn't know what happened after the heavenly sacrifice that year, she only knew that this person had been staying in the sect.
Let's observe for a while, Zhao Chaoan thought to himself, and at the same time looked at Ying Bu Ran. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ying Bu Ran's whole mind was on the battlefield.
Nothing is clear now. If you act with compassion and trust others carelessly, it may cost you your life.
At this time, Ying Bu Ran was clinging to the city wall and looking down. The battle was not particularly brutal, but it was not easy either.
The people from Zhuifeng City had the advantage in numbers, and the ghost soldiers seemed to realize that they couldn't win, so they started to delay time.
"How long will the drug development take?" Ying Bu Ran looked up and then down. The sky was starting to get cloudy. If they missed this opportunity, they would probably have to artificially induce rain. So he simply took out the Tianling Mirror and contacted Su Yunying.
Su Yunying quickly replied, "It's almost done. We've already shortlisted two. Now we just need to choose the better one. How's the situation outside?"
Ying Bu Ran glanced down again and replied, "The situation is at a stalemate."
Su Yunying scratched her head while holding the Heavenly Spirit Mirror. This was not going to be easy. "I'll go ask the seniors."
"The senior has replied. It's best to finish it as soon as possible. Rainfall treatment requires a stable environment. Everyone needs to stand within the rainfall range, including the soldiers." Su Yunying quickly typed a string of words, feeling a little tricky now.
But the city lord should also know what's going on, right?
Ying Bu Ran: "I understand. We will do it as soon as possible."
She looked at Yun Xiangwan, who was looking down with a slightly frown on his face. He raised his eyebrows after feeling her gaze.
Ying Bu Ran explained the news he had received in one sentence. Yun Xiang Wan touched his chin, took out a piece of talisman paper, chanted a spell softly, and injected spiritual power into it.
Ying Bu Ran was a little impatient and stepped onto the city wall and prepared to jump down. Seeing this, Zhao Qingxun and Zhao Chaoan also prepared to follow him. The next second, Ying Bu Ran was brought back by someone by the collar.
Zhao Chaoan was ready to take off and pounce, but when she saw Ying Bu Ran being held back, she instinctively wanted to pounce on the person who was holding her. But when she saw that it was someone she knew, she landed to the side and pretended to comb her feathers.
"Hey?" Ying Bu Ran was suddenly pulled and almost fell down. He turned around and found that it was Chen Cangwu, and Jiang Liuyan was also beside him.
After pulling her, Chen Cangwu quickly straightened Ying Bu Ran, pressed her shoulders and patted her gently, signaling her to calm down and not rush: "No need to go down. City Lord Jiang?"
She looked at Jiang Liuyan with a questioning look.
Jiang Liuyan nodded, turned around and waved behind her. Si Nuo appeared in front of her and saluted with his fists.
"Give the order to switch to a defensive formation." Jiang Liuyan said.
A hint of doubt flashed in Sinuo's eyes, but he nodded without any hesitation and said, "Yes." Then he disappeared again.
Ying Bu Ran was very confused when he saw this scene. After Jiang Liuyan came over, he asked, "Mom, what's this?"
"Sect Master Shen has calculated some things. Don't worry, I'm standing here and nothing will happen." Jiang Liuyan rubbed Ying Bu Ran's head and saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her words full of confidence.
Even if the leaders of the two sects came, she was confident that she could quell the fight.
"Got it?" Zhao Chaoan also flew over, landed on Ying Bu Ran's shoulder, and tilted his head to look at Chen Cangwu, "Big or small?"
Shen Cangwu thought for a while before answering: "It's not big, not small, important, but not that important. At least it will be useless after today."
Zhao Chaoan had a rough idea in his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions. Saying too much would interfere with the subsequent layout.
On this side, Ying Bu Ran believed in Jiang Liuyan, and Zhao Chaoan's attitude also proved that Shen Cangwu's divination would not be wrong, but he was still worried, so he kept watching the situation below.
She lay there, and Zhao Qingxun followed silently. Seeing that Ying Bu Ran did not reject her, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe the battle situation below.
After changing their formation, the casualties on the Wind Chasing City side were significantly reduced. Initially, the Nine Nether Sect's team was still wondering what was going on, wondering if it was a trick. After a moment of vigilance, they realized they were just defending, and then simply increased their offensive.
Regardless of whether the Jiuyou Sect's offensive was strong or weak, Zhuifeng City's defense remained unchanged.
I don’t know if it was the influence of the ghost energy, but the offensive of the Jiuyou Sect began to weaken at a very fast rate.
Some people began to think about withdrawing, and just as more and more people were preparing to evacuate, something unexpected happened.
Zhao Qingxun was the first to notice the difference and pointed to the distance, saying, "There's movement over there. A team is approaching quickly."
Ying Bu Ran looked over subconsciously. The sky was filled with ghostly energy, and the originally gloomy sky became even darker because of their appearance.
When the ghost soldiers came closer, Ying Bu Ran looked carefully and found that there were no flames on the shoulders or heads of those ghost soldiers.
These are real ghost soldiers. Are we ordering a defense against them?
Ying Bu Ran could only tell that these were ghosts, but he couldn't tell which Ghost King they belonged to. He tilted his head and asked, "Can you tell which Ghost King they belong to?"
Zhao Chaoan has been staring at the ghost soldiers since they appeared, "Bad news, they are the same group that attacked the Zhuifeng City team before." How come they are that guy's subordinates again?
Being attacked from both sides will be a bit troublesome. Should we prepare to take action?
Ying Bu Ran had already taken out his flute, and Zhao Qingxun had also taken out his sword, and they were just about to rush down at the command.
However, the ghost soldiers did not rush towards the soldiers of Zhuifeng City, but instead turned to attack the Jiuyou Sect team disguised as ghost soldiers.
At first, the Jiuyou Sect thought that they were reinforcements, but when they turned around, they found that they were killing their own people. They were still shouting to stop them, but no one responded.
One of them approached and patted a ghost soldier on the shoulder. The next second, ghost fire jumped up her body and began to burn in the blink of an eye.
The team leader's face, hidden behind the mask, turned pale. He stabbed the person's neck with a knife, ending her life and putting out the fire.
"Everyone, assemble! This is the real ghost clan!" the captain shouted, but his own men were already entangled with the ghost soldiers, and the ghost fire rising into the sky blocked their vision, and for a moment they could not tell them apart.
There was chaos below, and Ying Bu Ran and the other two above were also stunned. Jiang Liuyan nodded to Yun Xiangwan, and Yun Xiangwan took the order and left. At the same time, the Zhuifeng City army below was also slowly retreating.
What... is going on? Ying Bu Ran frowned slightly, not quite understanding what these ghost soldiers were up to. They attacked them before, and now they were helping them, or were they trying to defeat them one by one?
Ying Bu Ran continued to observe the battle situation below. The people from Jiuyou Sect soon could not hold on and fled in all directions. After they left, the ghost soldiers also disappeared underground.
It's even weirder this time.
