call out!
A beam of light energy shot from Li Xuan's fingertips towards the blockade formation, and powerful force burst out from this ordinary ray.
The barrier that blocked the formation was instantly pierced by this ray of light. The pillars collapsed one after another, and the barrier of the entire formation melted like ice.
This is the simplest and most brutal way to break the formation, completely using powerful force to destroy the formation from the front.
this......
The smile on Liu Dong's face froze. The formation that could trap a fifth-level cultivator was broken by him with just one move?
It was broken from the front with skills!
escape!
Run away!
This was the only thought left in his mind, and he crushed the teleportation talisman in his hand.
Click!
A beam of light descended from the sky and shone on Liu Dong. The next second, the light was retracted and his figure disappeared from the spot.
"He runs pretty fast."
Li Xuan was not in a hurry to chase after him. As the lord of the Desert City, he could escape even if the monk ran away.
And since they have fallen out, I can attack without any scruples.
"Thank you for saving my life."
Tang Rou bowed in thanks.
Li Xuan also turned to look at her. Her skin seemed rough due to the wind and sun here, but she had an oval face and her facial features were still delicate.
He looks nothing like Gray Eye, but his eyes have the same tenacity as Gray Eye.
Li Xuan stepped forward and helped her up: "Your father also saved my life!"
"My father?"
Tang Rou looked a little confused, then looked at Li Xuan again: "My father died at the hands of a monster when I was little."
Dead?
Li Xuan suddenly understood why he could not find any information about Tang Zhan. It turned out that when he was chosen to infiltrate the demon territory, he disappeared by faking his death.
In this way, even if the demons have planted spies among the human race, it would be difficult to find any clues.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's go quickly. I have to report the situation here immediately!" Tang Rou didn't dwell on this. She had more important things to do.
"What is it?"
Li Xuan asked with a frown.
It seems that the matter in the Desert City is quite serious, otherwise the city lord would not have turned against me so directly and wanted to get rid of me at all costs.
Tang Rou spoke quickly, "City Lord Liu Dong has joined forces with the three major families in the city to seize the spirit stone mines in Desert City. He has also embezzled all the funds allocated by Northwest Province for city construction."
"This is just what I know. They have definitely used their power to do more than just this."
Da Mo City is located in a remote area with a very harsh terrain and environment, and has little contact with the outside world. Liu Dong, in conjunction with the three major families, is like a local emperor here.
Li Xuan now understood what was going on: "So, you discovered all this and were about to report them, but they trapped you in the camp?"
"Yes, but as the commander of the city guards, it's not easy for them to get rid of me directly, so they try to win me over with benefits."
Tang Rou glanced at the camp behind her.
Then I came at the right time. If I had come a few days later, something unexpected might have happened... Li Xuan felt a little relieved.
"Then why didn't you choose to join them?"
Ellie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
"My father told me since I was a child that the city guards' duty is to protect the people in the city. This is the principle I have followed throughout my life!"
Tang Rou's gaze was still fixed on the camp behind her, where her fellow city guards who shared the same ideals as her were buried.
However, because they were just ordinary soldiers, they were directly eliminated by Liu Dong, and their bodies were buried forever under the yellow sand.
No one except themselves will know about their contributions.
Even after being imprisoned, her thoughts began to waver. Was there any point in her persistence?
Fortunately, the appearance of Li Xuan illuminated her way forward like a ray of light, allowing her to find her direction again.
Tang Rou's face regained its urgency. "Liu Dong and the others will definitely not let this go. Let's go to Northwest Province and report this to the Governor. Ask him to seek justice."
"No need, I can just do what's right."
Li Xuan said with unusual confidence.
…
Desert City, City Lord’s Mansion.
After crushing the talisman, City Lord Liu Dong appeared in his mansion.
At this moment, his face was extremely pale. He had some doubts in his heart, but after Li Xuan mentioned the name Tang Rou.
He realized that the matter might be exposed, but he still had a glimmer of hope, after all, only a very young colonel came from the military.
As long as he gets rid of him first and proves that he died from the mouth of the desert worm, he will have enough time to deal with all the things he did before.
After that, even if the military sent people to investigate again, he would definitely be clean.
But what he didn't expect was that Colonel Li Xuan's combat power was so strong that he could break the fifth-level blockade formation with ease.
"Now that we've fallen out, we can only go this far!"
Liu Dong became ruthless and summoned all the heads of the three major families and told them everything that happened in the camp outside the city.
"You actually acted without even asking for our opinion?!" The Zhou family patriarch's face was filled with anger.
"Hmph, he specifically asked to see Tang Rou. What could I do? I could only use their trick against me and get rid of them together!" Liu Dong snorted coldly and looked over.
The Xiao family's head was also quite dissatisfied: "Then you can just say that Tang Rou died at the hands of the monster. He can't find any witnesses, so how can he know about us?"
"Being indecisive, doesn't that clearly indicate there's something wrong with us?"
"That's much better than you planning to get rid of the military colonel directly!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, the head of the Wu family shouted, "Enough! The situation is urgent now, and you are still quarreling. Do you want to die sooner?"
"Then what do you say we should do? That colonel can break the fifth-level formation with one strike. In his eyes, we are lambs to be slaughtered."
The head of the Zhou family has already adopted a mentality of giving up. In his opinion, if Liu Dong had not torn his face with the military colonel, there would still be a possibility of negotiation.
"In my opinion, we should just go our separate ways. There's nothing more to say now." The head of the Xiao family suggested.
"Run? Where can you run to? Can you run out of the human territory?" Liu Dong was completely desperate at this time.
He even thought about joining the demon clan, but he had no way to do so.
The Wu family patriarch raised his head, looked around, and said slowly: "I have an idea."
"What method?"
When the few people heard this, it was like they saw a life-saving straw and wanted to grab it tightly.
"Didn't we find a crystal snake in the Spirit Stone Mine that had absorbed most of the Spirit Stone ore?"
