"Master, why should we retreat?"

The man in black glanced over coldly, "Why? Why? Look at how many of us are left now?"

The man replied unwillingly, "But there are obviously only a few of them left. We are just a little bit away from destroying the City That Never Sleeps!"

"You can't destroy them!" The man in black gave him a mocking look, "Don't you see it yet? Ninety percent of the fifty purple-rank masters were killed in the Never-Sleeping City, and even those lustful beasts were not brought back. With such a battle situation, you still have the nerve to say that the whole team was wiped out?"

After the man in black reminded them, the big men finally realized something.

They realized belatedly that the flying beasts they had ridden earlier had not appeared at all?

What's going on?

When they all turned their eyes to the black-clad leader at the head, his voice was as cold and sharp as an ice peak as he looked towards the direction of the City That Never Sleeps.

"Ling Yuan, it's her, it must be her. I have underestimated her!"

The black-clad man's assertion was immediately met with criticism from others.

"Ling Yuan? Is she the woman who had no spiritual power and was severely injured by the Seat Master? How is this possible?"

"Yes, how is this possible? She is already seriously injured and surrounded by so many beasts, how can she escape?"

"Why is it impossible? If not, can you explain to me why the beast disappeared and she also disappeared?"

Everyone was silent, although they still couldn't convince themselves that such a small and weak woman had the ability to wipe out the beasts.

But what is the reality?

At that time, apart from those who were fighting against them, there were indeed not many people in the City That Never Sleeps.

We can't let them believe that some hidden master has appeared in this city at this time, right?

If there really is some otherworldly master, why didn't he show up earlier or later, but appeared in a place where they couldn't see him?

There are too many doubts and unclear explanations, so they can only choose to remain silent.

"Since we have been defeated, why is the Lord waiting here?"

They don't understand. Since they feel they have failed and cannot destroy the enemy, why don't they go back and report to the Palace Master instead of staying here and blowing in the cold wind?

"Who said I failed?" The man in black said this with a hint of gnashing of teeth.

He glanced at his bloody severed arm, the hatred in his eyes was so clearly visible, especially when the chilling hostility emanated from his body, the faces of the brothers who had worked with him for a long time all changed.

It seems that their boss is really angry this time!

Come to think of it, being forced to cut off one's arm by a weak woman who had no spiritual power at all, how humiliating is that?

Previously, he was determined to take her life, but in just a blink of an eye, not only did she survive, but she also lost so many beasts. No one would be able to swallow this, right?

"Is the master planning to wait for reinforcements?" The words of the woman in red immediately attracted the attention of others.

Reinforcements?

Considering how ruthless their Palace Master is, would he still send them reinforcements after suffering such huge losses?

They all expressed doubts.

But the man in black didn't seem like the kind of person who would do something without being sure. One by one, they all looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"Aren't you curious about how that woman Ling Yuan did it?"

Dozens of flying beasts disappeared without any sound. They were not curious, but he was very curious.

"So, Master, what you mean is that we fight back again?"

If we go back now, the enemy will definitely not investigate, and we might even be able to achieve a surprise victory and wipe out the entire City That Never Sleeps.

Thinking of this, the remaining dozen or so people became excited instantly and looked up at them enthusiastically.

The man in black looked at the gradually darkening sky and smiled confidently, "No hurry, everyone must be tired after a day's work, let's take a rest first."

Several people looked at each other quickly, "Master, are there reinforcements?"

The black-clothed man's eyes immediately flashed with viciousness, and the corners of his lips curled up cruelly: "The backup force will arrive in three hours, and we will go in after they arrive. A small city that never sleeps actually requires the strength of two groups of us. Even if we are exterminated, it is a worthy death!"

At that time, the lights had been turned on in the city that never sleeps, but because the place was large and there were only a few living people, it still presented a desolate scene with corpses everywhere.

Ling Yuan jumped out of the space when the two guardians found Mingyue Tower. With just one glance, she could tell that they had suffered serious internal injuries.

"How are you?"

"Second Miss, are you injured?"

As soon as the two sides spoke, they were both considering each other. Ling Yuan felt warm in her heart and said hurriedly: "I suffered some internal injuries, but I am much better now. How are you? Come on, sit down, I will take a look at you."

Ling Yuan had already changed her clothes in the space and took off her mask, allowing them to clearly see her pale face.

The Dream Protector suddenly grabbed her wrist, and after feeling the breath of nothingness in her body, he suddenly raised his head.

"You're injured so badly, and you still say you're fine? Were you injured by a purple-level master?"

Ling Yuan calmly pulled back her hand, "I know my own body well, and I'm a doctor. I've already taken the medicine, so I'm really fine. But you guys, let me take a look."

Seeing Ling Yuan's persistence, the two could not help but say, "If the Second Miss can still move, why don't we go to the front to take a look. There are people who are more seriously injured than us."

Ling Yuan suddenly raised her head and remembered to ask about the situation after the battle. Glancing at the obvious fatigue in the two people's eyes, her heart suddenly sank.

"How many people are still alive?"

Even though they never showed their displeasure, their faces darkened instantly after hearing this question. Under Ling Yuan's anxious gaze, they lowered their eyes in sorrow and said, "My subordinates are incompetent. Now, we only have less than 20 people left."

Twenty people, less than?

Ling Yuan's body stiffened and her whole body was trembling. She had imagined that the battle situation might not be good, but she never thought that their end would be so tragic.

There were more than a thousand people, and in the end, only these few were left.

How could her heart not be sad? How could she not be desperate?

"You didn't send a distress signal?"

Although the enemy had left, Ling Yuan did not dare to let Gongzi Yan know. If she knew, she would definitely rush back. Although she was powerful, she could not withstand the siege of so many people.

Especially her sister, whose soul is still in an unstable state, she cannot take this risk.

The dream guardian shook his head and said, "Without the Second Young Lady's order, this distress signal cannot be issued casually."

The distress signal of the City That Never Sleeps is directly related to the Dragon Empire. As the saying goes, if one move is triggered, the whole body will be affected. When it is unclear who the opponent is, the distress signal may not only fail to save oneself, but also bring oneself a greater crisis.

Ling Yuan took a deep breath and said, "It's good that it wasn't sent out. Now, gather everyone here."

The guardian Meng was stunned for a moment, "Second Miss, this is Mingyue Tower, outsiders are not allowed here."

"Why are we still talking about so many rules at this point? Go quickly. We only have a few people left. We must not make any more mistakes. If we gather together, we can think of countermeasures."

Seeing Ling Yuan's insistence, Dharma Protector Meng no longer hesitated and went out to call for help. The remaining 'dead' Dharma Protector really lived up to his title, not only did he not say a word from beginning to end, he even turned himself into a transparent person.

"Come here, I'll show you my body,"

"Thank you, Miss Second. I'm fine."

"Come here, don't make me repeat it for the third time."

Si frowned and reluctantly moved to her side. Ling Yuan pushed him to the chair opposite her. Before he could move, she said sternly, "If you don't want to be a burden to everyone in the future, stay here honestly."

Upon hearing this, Si pursed his lips tightly, and no more extra emotions burst out of his gloomy face. He sat there quietly and let him take his pulse.

After taking his pulse and examining him carefully, Ling Yuan finally let go of his pulse and said, "You are just like me, with internal injuries. You haven't been scratched or bitten by those monsters, have you?"

"No, my subordinates are very careful about this."

"That's great. This is a healing pill. Take it first and then go to the side to meditate and heal. We don't know if the opponent will come back. We don't have many people and time, so we must cheer up."

"Yes," the Death Protector swallowed the pill neatly, said nothing, found a corner and went to meditate.

Ling Yuan: ...

What an honest man!

At this time, Dream Protector also came back with the others. For this reason, she specially counted them. Including her, there were only seventeen people left.
