Chapter 115
He was depressed just because he understood it all. As they were still in the battle, they couldn’t be distracted and start investigating about the spy. In other words, Jiang Tianye would continue being a scapegoat until the end of the siege…
Tie iron rhino’s attack also consumed most of his spiritual power. Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, he still wasn’t assisted. He realized with regret that the internal traitor might have been killed by the Jiang family. In desperation, he could only retreat from the battlefield with the monsters that launched the attack.
The battle at the West City Gate soon ended. Jiang Tianxing stared at the iron rhino from a distance, which only let out a provocative growl and left with a large number of monsters.
Jiang Tianxing couldn’t help frowning. This time, during the attack, four gates were besieged at the same time, showing that his opponent had planned for this siege for a long time. Jiang Tianxing believed that the opponent was already aware that it would take at least three days to get the rescue in Wuti City. Then, there was still one day and one night – would the opponent give up on attacking the city so easily?
The answer was definitely no, the only possibility would be that they intended to use all their forces to attack a city gate.
The previous siege was probably used to cover the breakthrough of the west city gate. Now that elder Qi was dead, the Jiang family had to guard the city gate more closely. Without a chance to break through the city gate, many more monsters would die if they wanted to break the defensive array. Instead of wasting time there, they’d better bet for once. If it didn’t work, they would definitely retreat. All in all, that territory belonged to human cultivators and they dared not stay so openly.
Jiang Tianxing immediately sent someone to notify the other families that the monsters on his side had retreated, and someone would have to bear more pressure.
Soon the news came back, and the monsters guarded by the Fang family and the Yu family retreated, only those of the Bu family began to send out distress signals frequently.
Jiang Tianxing discussed with several other elders of other families, and soon decided to help the Bu family. They left a certain amount of manpower to ensure that after they left, the city gate would not collapse immediately even if they were attacked. He left with a lot of cultivators to the north gate guarded by the Bu family.
When they were merely halfway through, they saw a dazzling red light rising from the North City Gate. Jiang Tianxing’s facial expression changed drastically, he had to ignore the low-level cultivators, and immediately rushed to the North City Gate with those above the level of Qi condensation.
The red signal meant that the Bu family had completely collapsed and the city gate was lost. If the monsters rushed into the city, few ordinary civilians in the city would survive.
Xu Ziyan also had a heavy look. Although with his intervention, the west city gate was protected, it’s still out of his expectations that the Bu family got attacked in the north city gate.
By the time they rushed to the north city gate, this place had already turned into a hell on earth——
The north city gate had been broken through, there were blood clots and corpses everywhere, there’s a scorching smell in the air, and the sky was almost completely covered by the burning black smoke.
“What is it all about?!” Jiang Tianxing yelled, and grabbed a casual cultivator who was shying away.
What made him extremely angry was not the fact that the north gate was broken through and the monsters rushed into the city, but it’s because while those monsters slaughtered the cultivators, there were a lot of cultivators among the monsters who attacked the guarding cultivators!
The casual cultivator’s left arm was cut off by Qi Gen, and he had already lost his combat power. If he was not lucky enough to hide in a corner, he would have died long ago.
This cultivator of the Qi refining period looked at Jiang Tianxing tremblingly. He dared not speak under the pressure of the furious Jiang Tianxing.
“Chief Jiang, you should stop those high-level monsters first, let me ask him.” Xu Ziyan saw that the cultivator was about to pass out, and he quickly stopped Jiang Tianxing’s interrogation.
Jiang Tianxing also found that only a few high-level monsters and a large number of human cultivators had entered the city. If he could kill those high-level monsters, he might be able to drive them out again.
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you!” Jiang Tianxing quickly threw off the cultivator and rushed towards the one with the highest cultivation level among the group of monsters. The rest of the Jiang family also looked for their opponents and they were killing each other one-on-one.
Xu Ziyan was about to reach out to help the cultivator, but was stopped. Xu Zirong smiled softly, “brother, let me ask him.” After speaking, he took the initiative to put the cultivator in the corner.
Xu Ziyan withdrew his hand silently, looked at Xu Zirong’s back, and scolded himself in his heart.
Since the incident happened in the morning, he couldn’t look at Zirong directly anymore!!!
Although he had warned Xu Zirong not to mention that matter again, the problem was — this was really not something easy to be forgotten.
Feeling annoyed and scratching his head, Xu Ziyan decided to let go. Anyway, this kind of “accident” wouldn’t happen again. Sooner or later he would surely forget about it!
When Xu Ziyan suppressed the irritability in his heart, Xu Zirong had already started interrogating over there…wait, it’s only questioning.
115 Part 2
The cultivator seemed to have passed out, and Xu Ziyan noticed that his breathing was very stable, so he stopped paying attention to the cultivator.
“How is it?”
“The Bu family has rebelled.” Xu Zirong explained the situation on the scene in five simple words.
A flash of lightning flashed in Xu Ziyan’s mind, instantly connecting all the suspicious dots together.
Although the Bu family was also one of the four major families in Wuti City, the foundation of this family was far inferior to the other three. In the memory of his original body, the Bu family in the previous life became the first of the four major families in Wuti city thanks to its outstanding performance in the siege. Later, they even walked out of Wuti City and became involved with the Tian Yu sect. They became a big-scale family highly valued by the Tian Yu sect.
Now, it became apparent that the Bu family in the previous life should have been in collusion with the demon cultivators. Without the support of the demon cultivators, they could not develop so fast.
And the unlucky Jiang family was just the pathetic scapegoat used by the Bu family. If Xu Ziyan hadn’t discovered in advance that they had made a trick on the defense array, which enabled him to find out that elder Qi was the traitor, this evil plan might work.
Xu Ziyan had discovered two traces of destruction on the array before. The rough one should be elder Qi’s handwriting, while the one that was better hidden must be done by the Bu family. Patriarch Fang once said that the Bu family highly depended on the strength of their patriarch (particularly on the array) to become one of the biggest families in Wuti City, despite its average ability.
“Not good!” Xu Ziyan felt shocked. In the past, in order to prevent demon cultivators from invading the city, they used the excuse of decorating the streets to set up several arrays on the streets. These arrays were all set by the Bu family who was proficient in it. Now that the family rebelled, did it also mean that those arrays would become useless?
“Not everyone in the Bu family has rebelled. It seems that only one of the patriarchs did. The other two don’t have an idea about this.” Xu Zirong explained that the casual cultivator had been lucky. When the Bu family rebelled and opened the city gate, he happened to be there and witnessed the internal rebel of the family closely.
Then, the two sides started fighting. Although the two patriarchs tried to stopped them, the patriarch still successfully destroyed the north city gate.
Xu Ziyan made a decisive move and immediately relayed the situation to Jiang Tianxing. Jiang Tianxing’s heart moved slightly. Just now, he felt that the cultivators mixed in the monsters looked a bit familiar, but he didn’t know them. Since the Bu family had never been taken seriously, only the cultivators from that family would give him such a feeling.
Speaking of which, patriarch Bu really made good calculations. If elder Qi succeeded, then the Jiang family would definitely be charged with the crime of being traitors, and the Fang family, as the chef of the four families, would become the party to be blamed for the fall and slaughter of Wuti City. Although the Yu family was still much stronger than the Bu family, after such a battle to defend the city, it must have suffered heavy losses as well.
Naturally, the Bu family could undoubtedly get the greatest benefits, and could even enjoy the name of a city defender. The status of their entire family would hugely increase.
Patriarch Bu calculated all thoroughly, but accidents occurred. First of all, elder Qi failed to break the gate, and the monsters which were attacking the west city gate could not enter the city at all. Obviously, the demon cultivators had to break through one of the gates.
There were gates on all sides of Wuti City, which one would be broken through more easily other than the north city gate, since it was guarded by the Bu family who’d also made a deal with them? Also, the demon cultivators didn’t really care about what the patriarch Bu thought.
Their deal with patriarch Bu included a large number of inner alchemy of monsters. These inner alchemy could be used to refine pills and enhance the general strength of the Bu family. Of course, the Bu family had to cooperate with their operations of breaking through the city. What would the Bu family do afterwards? That’s what the patriarch needed to consider, and the iron rhino couldn’t be bothered to think for him.
Since he’s forced, patriarch Bu could only cooperate with the monsters ruthlessly. His only idea now was to slaughter all these casual cultivators who knew the situation of breaking through the city and the cultivators of the Bu family who opposed him. Unexpectedly, the elder who opposed him released a distress signal before his death, and the rescue of Jiang family came so timely.
Patriarch Bu had become like this all because of bad luck. However, the reality in front of him was that before the demon cultivators entered the city, the cultivators of Qi condensation of the Jiang family did.
Those cultivators who supported him had consumed a lot of power in the battle just now, and now there were only about thirty or fifty cultivators who were still alive and supporting him.
“Kill!” Jiang Tianxing roared, he moved his long sword, and the cultivator who stopped him was instantly cut in half.
“Kill!” The other cultivators of the Jiang family also yelled, and they all released the spells in their hands. They immediately caught those who were fighting with them unprepared. Nearly half of the Bu family cultivators were wounded.
Xu Ziyan didn’t attack those cultivators. He was completely unfamiliar with the Bu family. Instead of trying to distinguish between the good people and the spies, it was better to concentrate on the monsters.
He kept moving with his long bow, and his purple thunder spirit arrows fell into the group one after another. After each arrow was shot, a monster would be killed. Xu Ziyan deliberately picked on those monsters with low defense power and he could naturally aim at them accurately.
