After everything was tidied up.
Li Yu helped Fu Xiyao onto the horse, rode Xiao Hei to say goodbye to everyone, and slowly turned around and headed out of the city.
The seven regiments behind him immediately followed in unison, heads held high.
The residents of the water town stood on both sides of the road, silently watching the well-equipped team, their eyes filled with amazement.
Who would have thought that the group of refugees who were previously stranded outside the city, starving, would undergo a complete transformation after joining Li Yu's team, turning into dashing soldiers.
The members of the Seventh Regiment emanated faint energy fluctuations, and from a distance, the entire team seemed to be shrouded in an invisible aura.
City Lord Yun Ming stood outside the city gate watching them go, with Yun Shui Ning beside him, her expression complex.
Yunming was equally amazed; he had only ever seen an army composed entirely of awakened beings in Jincheng.
I never expected that Li Yu's Seventh Regiment would have such a powerful presence.
At this moment, Fu Xiyao was wearing a light combat uniform that fit her figure perfectly. It was specially made for her by Yun Shuining.
She also had a small, exquisite dagger tucked at her waist, a gift from Yun Shui Ning.
Fu Xiyao turned around and looked at Yun Shuining, who was getting further and further away. Yun Shuining was also looking at her with a reluctant expression.
Even though the Seventh Regiment had completely left Water City, Fu Xiyao was still in a daze.
Li Yu noticed that Fu Xiyao seemed to be preoccupied, and asked her gently with concern:
"What's wrong?"
Fu Xiyao hesitated for a moment, but then spoke the words that were hidden in her heart:
"I want to go to Yangcheng." Her eyes held a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
After hearing this, Li Yu didn't ask for the reason, but instead turned to Ma Yuanbai and his group and shouted:
"Let's go, let's go to Yangcheng!"
"Received." Ma Yuanbai shouted loudly on purpose, as if to demonstrate Li Yu's authority.
Then, Ma Yuanbai quickly flipped through the map, allowing the team leading the way to reconfirm their destination.
Li Yu knew that, given Fu Xiyao's personality, there must be a very important reason for her to speak to him.
Seeing that Li Yu decisively changed direction without asking why, Fu Xiyao felt a warmth in her heart from the feeling of being completely trusted.
She had no other choice but to try her luck in Yangcheng.
If Yun Shui Ning's mother can really help her, then perhaps she can help Li Yu again!
Overjoyed at receiving Li Yu's concern, Fu Xiyao nestled quietly in his arms. Li Yu's hand naturally embraced her slender waist, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
'Fu Xiyao's back is still the best.'
Both had slender waists, but the Bai Ruyu he had met before always gave him a sinister feeling.
Every time Bai Ruyu stared at him with her smiling eyes, he felt like he had become prey being watched, which made him feel uneasy.
Not long after Li Yugang led his team away from Shuicheng, more than a dozen masked men also left Shuicheng in a hurry.
They were dressed strangely, with hoods covering their faces completely.
These people quickly regrouped outside the city and met up with the few who had been waiting there. They hugged each other gently and greeted each other in hushed tones.
Peace be with you in the Lord.
May the Lord bless you.
The leader, his face now serious, questioned the person beside him again:
Is the news reliable?
You should know that once they choose to leave Water City, they will never have any hope of returning.
There was no need for City Lord Yunming to take action personally; even the soldiers guarding the city gates could sense that their behavior was abnormal.
The person next to him hurriedly replied, "Absolutely reliable. It has been confirmed multiple times. It is a summons from the Holy See! Everyone is required to go to Yangcheng immediately."
Another person confirmed, "Even the Deepsea Watchers have been mobilized. It seems they are determined to quickly gather in Yangcheng."
"It seems something big is about to happen in Yangcheng..." The leader sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
He knew he had no hope of returning to Water City, so he slowly lifted his hood.
He had blond hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep eyes, which was obviously completely different from the appearance of the people of Zhongzhou.
Upon seeing his face, those nearby hurriedly bowed respectfully once more:
"Greetings, Messenger White."
Their attitude was devout and respectful.
"Um."
White seemed unhappy about leaving Water City, and simply gave a casual reply.
After all, he had been lying low in Shuicheng for many years, living a comfortable life of steadily spreading his doctrines.
He also developed many followers in the water city, and was able to send them to do things for him at will.
This peaceful life made him reluctant to leave.
If it weren't for the Vatican's summons, he would never have gotten involved in this mess.
However, White understood that he couldn't disobey the Papacy's orders, and after a helpless sigh, he said to the others:
"Let's go to Yangcheng."
"I'd like to see what it is that's worth all of us getting involved in."
As a church messenger and a missionary sent to the Middle Kingdom to spread the doctrine, White knew many unknown secrets of the papacy.
The recent frequent earthquakes in Central China involuntarily reminded him of a prophecy made by a papal archbishop:
"When the earth trembles, the Twelve Holy Thrones will once again shine in glory!"
White still had doubts in his heart, and frowned slightly.
Even if the prophecy is true, the twelve holy thrones should be revealed in the West, so how could they be related to the Central Plains?
However, White was certain that those who gained the approval of the Twelve Holy Thrones would be invincible, and no one in the entire Central Continent would be their match.
