"Now what should I do? I'll go in and get behind the Prince of Donglin, knock him unconscious with a wrench, and the city will fall without a fight."
Nan Huanuo said, "There are many masters around the Prince of Donglin. Sir, why don't you go and destroy the core of the formation? I know where it is. It's in our City Lord's Mansion."
Piaomiao City was originally their city, and the City Lord's Mansion was originally where they lived. It was reasonable for the center of the formation to be in the City Lord's Mansion. Even if the City Lord was temporarily changed, it would be impossible to change the location so quickly.
Chen Dadan nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me. Go back to the city and tell Prince Yuexi not to ignore the casualties and attack the city. Just tie up Prince Donglin and I will take care of the rest."
"Yes, I will go find Prince Yuexi right away." Nan Huanuo mounted his flying sword and left first.
Chen Dabing left her exclusive mount and could only walk on his own two legs. This place was the north gate of Piaomiao City, and the City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of the city, which was quite far away.
Fortunately, he met a mortal on horseback on the road and spent a spirit stone to buy the horse. He was not good at riding, and when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he felt a burning pain on both sides of his thighs.
"Nan Huanuo is still the most comfortable mount!"
"Stop! This is a very secure area in the City Lord's Mansion. No passing is allowed." A team of soldiers were on high alert.
Chen Dabing was angry and said, "What do you mean by occupying the magpie's nest? This is my home. I will show no mercy to illegal intruders like you."
He took out his big gun and punched his way in, but he actually held back and didn't throw the wrench out, which would have definitely killed a lot of people.
All the soldiers were silent in front of the ancient divine weapons. The powerful pressure made them dare not even think of resisting. They were knocked to the ground one by one, only injured but not dead.
There were no masters in the City Lord's Mansion. They were all minor Qi-cultivating practitioners. All the foundation-building masters went to the top of the city to participate in defending the city.
Chen Dabing was familiar with his own yard and quickly found the center of the formation. He pulled out the formation flag and obtained ten high-quality spirit stones.
The city defense formation requires high-quality spirit stones to activate, and the light curtain barrier will consume spirit stones to resist attacks. If the resistance lasts for a long time, more spirit stones will be needed later.
These ten high-grade spirit stones consumed a small portion of spiritual power and were considered incomplete spirit stones. They would be discounted when used as currency.
The moment the formation flag was pulled out, the transparent light curtain covering Piaomiao City like an eggshell disappeared in an instant.
From the top of the city wall, the Prince of Donglin shouted angrily, "Who is it? You destroyed the core of the formation. You are useless. You deserve to die. There are no enemy masters in the city. You can't even defend the core of the formation."
Prince Yuexi also shouted loudly: "Prince Donglin, don't run away. You have the guts to attack my city but don't dare to fight me head-on?"
The Prince of Donglin said, "Today you have more men, so I will stay out of the way for now. In the future, I will join forces with the Prince of Anxi to annex your entire Yuexi territory."
Chen Dabing saw from afar two rainbow shadows chasing and fleeing in the air. They were Prince Yuexi and Prince Donglin. The armies on the other side of the city were still fighting, but the defenders were not as strong as the attackers because they did not have the support of the city defense formation. The sounds of fighting gradually weakened until it subsided.
It was obvious that the outcome of the war was already decided, and King Donglin abandoned his men and escaped alone.
Prince Yuexi did not pursue the enemy very far. He led his personal guards to meet Chen Dadan at the City Lord's Mansion and bowed, saying, "Thank goodness you, sir, launched a surprise attack and broke the formation. Otherwise, this city is guarded by Prince Donglin. Even if I had taken it, I would have suffered heavy casualties."
Chen Dadan returned the greeting and said, "Since Piaomiao City was lost from my hands, I must find a way to take it back. I just don't know where Fairy Nishang and the others have gone. If they suffer any losses, I will definitely not let King Donglin go."
Prince Yuexi said, "Fairy Nishang is blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to her."
"Sir, my master and my sisters and fellow apprentices are back! Fortunately, they are all fine."
Nan Huanuo shouted as she ran in from outside, followed by more than a dozen beautiful figures. The first one was wearing a cheongsam, revealing her graceful figure, and her appearance was even more beautiful. It was the Fairy Nishang.
Then Ting'er and the other female disciples of the Red Sect appeared and shouted in unison, "Sir, we almost didn't see you."
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a room full of beautiful women surrounded Chen Dabing and acted coquettishly. Prince Yuexi said with a smile, "Sir, I won't disturb you from reminiscing about the past. I'm going to inspect the spiritual vein mine."
The Lingmai Mine is the foundation of Yuexi County and also the purpose of King Donglin's capture of Piaomiao City.
"Sir, it was me who insisted on abandoning Piaomiao City and escaping for fear of fighting, which led to Piaomiao City falling into the hands of the enemy. Please punish me, sir." Ting'er knelt on one knee and apologized.
Fairy Nishang also knelt down and said, "How can you punish Ting'er for this? This is my fault."
Chen Dabing helped them up and said, "Not only are you innocent, but you have also made great contributions. You deserve a reward. As long as you are still alive, the city can be taken back at any time. If anything happens to you, I will not be happy even if I own all the cities."
Fairy Nishang said emotionally, "Sir, your love for us is profound and sincere. I am very happy."
Ting'er stretched out her little hand and said, "Sir, please give me a purple gold furnace. I will be able to establish my foundation soon."
Chen Dabing pinched her nose and said, "The purple gold furnace is fine. I'll go find Princess Yuexi later. She should have some in stock."
Prince Yuexi inspected the 12 spirit vein mines within the jurisdiction of Piaomiao City. Fortunately, King Donglin had not had time to clear out the mines, so the mines were still safe and the spirit stones produced were not lost.
The one who suffered the most losses was King Donglin. This time he led hundreds of foundation-building masters, but except for himself who escaped, all of them were killed in Piaomiao City.
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will definitely offend them." Chen Dabao said boldly, "The King of Donglin can escape, but the monk cannot. Let's just attack him."
Prince Yuexi said, "Prince Donglin dared to start a war and should be punished. However, an envoy from the imperial capital just arrived and said that the Emperor of Zhao summoned me."
Chen Dabing thought of the Emperor's crisis and said, "Perhaps Emperor Zhao's time is numbered."
Prince Yuexi said, "That's right. The messenger said that Emperor Zhao won't last much longer."
Chen Dabao said, "Then you should go to the imperial capital to meet Emperor Zhao first, and then we can discuss the attack on Donglin County."
Prince Yuexi said, "I would like to recommend you to Emperor Zhao. What do you think?"
Chen Dabao said, "Take me to see Emperor Zhao? I have no problem with that, but I can't bear the long journey."
Chen Dabing was not very interested in meeting the king of a country. According to court etiquette, should he kneel or not when meeting the emperor?
Prince Yuexi said, "That's true. Actually, there's no point in meeting him. The Emperor Zhao is running out of time. It's a pity that Zhao Lingyu is so talented and beautiful, but she is envied by the gods for her beauty."
