Shortly after the sky fell, City Lord Hua came rushing over from a distance.
He glanced at the empty surroundings, his heart sinking slightly. He had already guessed the outcome, but he still asked, "Has Commander Shangguan caught up with that female cultivator?"
Shangguan Ning casually glanced at Xiang Sheng, who was standing still in the sky. In his heart, he admired him even more, but on the surface, he shook his head and sighed:
"That female cultivator's cultivation level was average, but her ability to escape was quite good. I was unable to catch her."
"I haven't caught those two either."
City Lord Hua's face darkened. "These three have different methods, none of which are simple. The black mist figure's methods must come from the Forbidden Court; the white dragon must be a direct descendant of the ancient demon!
That female cultivator seemed to be walking in a different space. Commander Shangguan just fought with her. Did he see where she was coming from? "
"It is indeed a space."
Shangguan Ning lied with his eyes open, "The Flower City Lord also knows that the space is very slippery. Even the blockade can't stop her. She must have escaped from Flower City long ago. The sea of flowers outside the city probably can't hold her back.
The City Lord should focus more on the other man and the demon."
City Lord Hua nodded in agreement. "General Shangguan's words make perfect sense. I'll make the arrangements right away."
"The Dan Banquet is approaching, the City Lord should not be distracted too much."
"I understand. Thank you, Commander Shangguan, for reminding me."
"Then City Lord Hua, please go and do your work. I will return to the outer city."
"Commander Shangguan, please do as you please. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality this time. Sigh..."
“…”
The City Lord of Huacheng left with a sigh, and the City Guards who followed him also left, and the long street became quiet.
Shangguan Ning fell from the sky, and with a thought, the sky immediately shrank, shrinking to a size of ten feet around Xiang Sheng in an instant.
"Come out with me, no one will find you."
Shangguan Ning's voice sounded in his ears. Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes, did not respond, and followed silently.
With the leader of the Red and Green Army leading the way, the journey ahead will be safe and sound.
A moment later, Xiang Sheng followed Shangguan Ning into a house in the outer city.
Shangguan Ning turned around and spread out his five fingers, and the sky curtain surrounding Xiang Sheng immediately expanded, covering the entire house.
"I can speak now."
After saying this, Shangguan Ning sat down in front of the drawing board in the yard.
Xiang Sheng was silent for a moment, then got straight to the point: "Why did you save me?"
"I saved you because you are useful."
Shangguan Ning picked up the paintbrush and drew a beautiful arc on the drawing board. Without looking up, he said:
"You just overheard my conversation with City Lord Hua, so it's not difficult to guess my identity. I am the leader of the Red and Green Army, Shangguan Ning!
I saved you today, you should repay me, I want you to do something for me."
When Xiang Sheng heard this, she thought of the information Yan Duan had given her before and immediately had a guess in her mind.
However, she still pretended not to know and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Ning paused his brush and raised his eyes, a gleam of brilliance in his eyes: "I want you to be the leader of the Moon Camp!"
Xiang Sheng's guess was confirmed, but he just smiled on the surface.
"Commander Shangguan, you've given me the commanding position right away. That's quite a generous gesture. It's a shame I'm unlucky. Good things never happen to me. Commander Shangguan, please find someone else."
Shangguan Ning's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He put down the pen in his hand and chuckled softly: "I've been rejected many times, but this is the first time someone rejected me directly without asking any questions."
At this point, Shangguan Ning paused and said something surprising: "What if I help you explore the ghost town?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes froze for a moment, and he remained silent for a moment. Instead of answering, he asked, "Is the ghost town the place where the souls return?"
Shangguan Ning saw her reaction and knew there was something going on. He smiled slightly and nodded slightly:
"As cultivators, no matter what we desire, we must pay a price, and the answer is always the same. But let's forget it this time. We are destined to be together, so I'll tell you.
Ghost towns are indeed known as places where souls return.
This city was originally located in the legendary Yin Ruins, but it accidentally appeared in the sea of eternal flowers a thousand years ago. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Xiang Sheng appeared indifferent upon hearing this, but a storm was brewing in his heart.
A thousand years ago, wasn’t that exactly the time when Master’s small world was destroyed?
She didn't believe this was a coincidence; there had to be a connection! It was very likely that there lay the answer she wanted.
She suppressed the turbulent thoughts in her heart and looked up at Shangguan Ning, "How can you help me?"
Shangguan Ning was invigorated upon hearing this and immediately said, "As long as you agree to join my Red and Green Army and revitalize the Moon Camp, no matter what you want to do in Ghost Town, I will spare no effort to help you, and I can even use the power of my Shangguan family for you.
I will swear to the Heavenly Dao that I will fulfill all of the above requests and will never break my promise!"
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes and slowly smiled: "Commander Shangguan, as you said, you are willing to pay such a high price, so the answer you want will definitely not be simple.
I've heard about Moon Camp's past. Finding a way out amidst these numerous attacks is no easy task.
And if nothing unexpected happens, there are also people from your clan or big families like the Ji family stirring up trouble behind this. How can a mere casual cultivator like me turn the tide?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Ning's eyes lit up.
She was certain that this woman wasn't a general in the Red and Green Army. She was clearly just a casual cultivator, yet she had such a thorough understanding of the military situation, coupled with her impressive strength...
At this moment, she was absolutely certain that the female cultivator in front of her was the most suitable candidate to lead the Moon Camp!
She suppressed her surging emotions and softened her tone: "What do you want? Just ask!"
She was not stupid, so she naturally understood that Xiang Sheng's words were not a rejection, but a condition to her.
Xiang Sheng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "I want to know why Commander Shangguan has been so obsessed with revitalizing the Moon Camp."
Shangguan Ning's expression froze as soon as these words were spoken, and then he frowned slightly: "Why are you asking this? Is it related to your revitalization of the Moon Camp?"
"It's about nature."
Xiang Sheng said calmly, "Since it's a deal, I need to know how much is hidden behind it. Otherwise, how can I know how to handle it properly?
"Revitalize the Moon Camp" is too vague. Do you want me to expand the Moon Camp to its original size? Or to be able to compete with the male immortal warriors? Or to completely suppress them?
If I do this, how many obstacles will I face? How many will be enemies, and how many will be friends?
All of this is closely related to your purpose."
Shangguan Ning's brows furrowed with each word he heard, and he finally formed the character "川" (Chuan) and said in a cold voice:
"This isn't something you should know, but what you said makes some sense, so I'll tell you a thing or two.
But after hearing what I have to say, if you refuse me again, you should know what will happen to you."
Xiang Sheng smiled upon hearing this and said, "Please, Commander, please swear an oath, and then you can speak freely."
