Li Shiwen guarded a key road, but there were many passages up and down the tower. Early Xuan Qin soldiers entered the city from other places and opened the city gate.
Xuan Qin soldiers had already poured in from the city gate, and the battle line had already shifted from the top of the city to the inside of the city...
In the center of the Xuan Qin army, under the great banner, on top of the heavily guarded carriages and horses, Zhao Li, the Grand Marshal of Xuan Qin, stood on a high place, watching the Xuan Qin soldiers pouring in from the city gate, and thought to himself, "It's over!"
Wuyi City was over, and so was Northern Chu.
The city has been breached, and now all that’s left is to kill people!
"The game is over..." He said these four words slowly with a smile on his face.
But before he could finish his words, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, more than a dozen thick purple sword auras flew out from the top of Wuyi City. With a few "swooshing" sounds, all of Xuanqin's equipment clinging to the city wall was destroyed.
After the sword energy cut through the equipment, it did not stop. The sword tip turned and inserted vertically in front of the city gate, closing all the city gates and dividing the Xuanqin army inside and outside the city into two sections.
The sword energy was so terrifying that all the Xuan Qin soldiers who tried to get close to it were strangled into blood foam by the sharp sword energy.
In an instant, the Xuan Qin army stopped and retreated. Under the city of Wuyi, the fighting situation left a large open space.
Then a clear female voice rang out from the top of Wuyi City, spreading throughout the entire Xuanqin army: "That's it!"
The voice echoed in his ears, making him feel terrified. Zhao Li looked up at the top of Wuyi City and saw a huge and majestic white tiger standing on the wall. On top of the white tiger was a woman in white holding a sword. The one who was shouting was that woman.
"Who is that?" he asked around.
Not knowing what was going on, the attendants sent someone to the tower to ask, "Who are you?"
Li Shiyin responded loudly: "I am Li Shiyin from Northern Chu! The Guardian of Northern Chu!"
Her clear voice resounded through the darkness and spread throughout the Xuan Qin army. The voice was originally very pleasant to hear, but in the ears of the Xuan Qin army, it had great majesty, making the Xuan Qin soldiers and horses feel fearful, the formation was slightly disrupted, and they all took a few steps back.
"Li Shiyin, Li Shiwen?" As the horse was frightened, the carriage shook, and Zhao Li also shook with it. He asked, "Could she be the cultivator from the Li family... the Li Shiyin that Yaqing mentioned?!"
No one knew the answer, and no one answered him.
He pondered for a while, and finally realized that a powerful monk was definitely not something he could deal with, so he asked his attendants, "Where is the monk in the formation?"
Someone came forward and knelt down, saying, "All the monks who went out with the army today...are dead."
Zhao Li recalled the purple fireworks that had bloomed in the sky before, and saw the purple sword energy in front of the formation. Only then did he realize that those cultivators were probably killed by Li Shiyin.
Fortunately, he didn't care about the lives of the monks, just like the monks didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. He said to his left and right: "Please come back to the camp..."
It doesn’t matter whether the monks live or die, Wuyi City must be captured tonight.
Someone rode back to the base camp to invite the monks. But before the monks came back, someone rode up from the rear and gave him the military information.
When Zhao Li received the military intelligence from the rear, he found that it was the document from Elder Zi Yi asking him to withdraw his troops.
"Retreat?!" He almost couldn't catch his breath.
We have fought till here tonight, the situation is so bad, we just need to take the final step, just one breath, and ask him to retreat?!
Zhao Li was so angry that veins bulged at the corners of his eyes and he tore the document in his hand into pieces.
None of these so-called monks are reliable!
But... in the end...
He looked at the terrifying sword energies in front of Wuyi City and gave the order to retreat.
Without cultivators now, we really cannot attack Wuyi City.
Seeing the Xuan Qin army's front troops change to rear troops and gradually withdraw, Li Shiyin also breathed a sigh of relief. If Xuan Qin really wanted to continue the attack, it would be hard to tell how many people would die.
She had no problem with killing the enemy, but she still felt that pointless killing was unnecessary.
"They have retreated. They shouldn't come back in the short term, right?" Li Shiyin asked.
"You're asking me?" Zhuifeng asked her back.
"Okay..." It was pointless to ask Zhuifeng. Li Shiyin jumped off Zhuifeng's head and said, "I'll go see Li Shiwen. You stay here and don't move."
"Ah? Right here?!" Zhuifeng opened his eyes wide, unable to believe that this was the treatment given to his savior, the person who played a vital role in this battle.
Li Shiyin was a little embarrassed, but Zhuifeng was too strong and it was really hard to place him in the city. She thought for a moment and said, as if coaxing a child, "You are so impressive here. The Xuanqin army is terrified when they see you. Just think about it, one person is a city."
Zhuifeng thought about it and it seemed so. He was indeed very impressive in intimidating the enemy here.
However, the space on the city wall was not spacious enough, so he had to be a little cautious before he could lie down.
After coaxing Zhuifeng into submission, Li Shiyin displayed her skills and flew into the city.
She used her sword energy to cut off the forces inside and outside the city. The Xuan Qin soldiers who remained in the city were quickly killed or captured, and the battle in the city was coming to an end.
She ignored the minor battles and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion in the city to find Li Shiwen.
Li Shiwen was seriously injured and almost died. She used elixirs to save his life, but he also fell into a coma and was lying in a bedroom.
When she arrived, Yuchi Zhen, who had come to take care of Li Shiwen, had also just arrived.
When Yuchi Zhen saw Li Shiwen's expression, all her worries and fears, all the emotions she had accumulated over the past few months, burst out in an instant, and she lay on the bed, crying bitterly.
Looking at Yuchi Zhen's appearance, Li Shiyin didn't know what to say for a moment. She had to wait until Yuchi Zhen finished crying before she went over to help her up and comforted her: "He is just seriously injured, but he won't die."
Yuchi Zhen sobbed and complained, "He wants to die."
She looked at Li Shiwen and sobbed for a while, then turned back to ask Li Shiyin, "How is Xiao Ping'an?"
"Li An is fine. I'll leave him in the care of my master." Li Shiyin replied.
Li Shiyin trusted her master very much and knew that he would take good care of the child, but Yuchi Zhen didn't. She wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.
Li Shiyin helped her sit aside and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, my brother will wake up soon, Xuan Qin will withdraw its troops soon, and everything will return to normal."
However, Yuchi Zhen, who had followed the Northern Chu army all the way back here, did not have much confidence and could only shake his head silently.
"Everything will be fine as long as I'm here," Li Shiyin promised.
Yuchi Zhen was in a low mood and didn't want to talk. Li Shiyin started to talk several times but didn't continue, so Li Shiyin stopped talking.
The two sat in silence in the bedroom. Li Shiyin occasionally stood up to check on Li Shiwen's condition. If she found something was wrong, she would take out some pills for him to eat. When he was stable, she would sit back down.
She occasionally walked around the room and felt that the night was particularly long.
At some point, a faint light began to shine through the window. Li Shiyin sensed it and looked outside. It was daybreak, and tiny snowflakes were falling from the sky.
"It's snowing," she said.
