Today, two people ca to Taishan City.
The head of the Ten Manors and City Lord Xuan Dongyue t with one of them together in the conference hall.
"City Lord, Manor Masters, I beg you to save Mute City." The man knelt before Xuan Dongyue and the heads of the Ten Manors, but his plea did not receive a positive response.
Even after the eting ended, Chen Si was unsure how he left the conference room and arrived at the accommodations arranged by Taishan City.
Although he hadn't had a decent al in a long ti, he found it hard to swallow the delicious food prepared by Taishan City.
Mute City, with its hundreds of thousands of people, had been besieged by Demons for a long ti. Although there was secret support from various human forces, and supplies were constantly being sent to Mute City,
Mute City was still on the brink of collapse today.
Originally, the city had a population of nearly a million, but by now only twenty to thirty thousand remained.
This was because the Demons wanted to slowly consu human military strength and had not launched an all-out war to destroy the city.
In fact, if the Demons truly wanted to obliterate Mute City, it would have long been exterminated.
But doing so would also co at a significant cost to the Demons.
"Sir, Taishan City will not send troops; they fear the Demons," Chen Si's guard, ng Man, said coldly. "As for now, there may only be one way to get Taishan City to act."
"What way?" Chen Si asked, staring blankly at ng Man.
"I've heard that many direct descendants of the Ten Great Families are training in Taishan City. If we capture them and take them to Mute City, the Ten Great Families will not sit idly by and watch them be slaughtered by Demons; they will surely send aid," ng Man said.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible..." Chen Si was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Rest assured, Sir, I am confident I can capture them all and take them to Mute City, ensuring your safe return to the city without any oversight," ng Man seed very confident in her abilities.
"This isn't just my personal issue; you don't understand. This plan can never work," Chen Si shook his head with a bitter smile.
"What do I not understand? Please enlighten , Sir?" ng Man looked at Chen Si, her eyes persistent.
"ng Man, you're from a good background, you have good character, you're capable, and you're smart. But you're still too young, with limited experience, and you don't understand the human heart," Chen Si said with a wry smile. "If you really did that, the Ten Great Families would indeed send troops, but they would not be fighting the Demons; they would be destroying our Mute City."
"No way!" ng Man was sowhat disbelieving.
"That's why I'm saying you lack experience and don't understand how terrible the human heart can be. In any case, this plan must never be executed unless you truly wish for Mute City to fall into an irrevocable plight," Chen Si said earnestly.
"If we don't do this, what else can we do? The Ten Great Families and the Ancestral Court don't care about our lives. Mute City, a city that doesn't belong to their forces, they're not going to risk fighting the Demons for us," ng Man said.
"Taishan City is unreliable; we must seek help elsewhere," Chen Si sighed. Recently, he had been sighing more and more often.
"Where else can we seek help? We've already been to nearly ten cities, at most gaining so material support; no one is willing to send troops to help," ng Man said with a grim face.
"It's not their fault; the Demons refrain from launching a full-scale attack because they want to annihilate the rescue forces and eventually swallow Mute City without bloodshed. In this situation, their reluctance to aid is understandable," Chen Si said.
"We can understand them, but who will understand the people of Mute City? Who will save their lives?" ng Man said through gritted teeth.
"There is one person, soone who might be able to save us, save Mute City, and save everything," Chen Si's eyes suddenly shone with hope.
"Who? Who can save us now?" ng Man asked, stunned.
"Zi Donglai... the Purple Marshal of the Purple Sun Corps..." Chen Si slowly uttered the na.
Upon hearing this, ng Man was first stunned, then couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Sir, Zi Donglai and the Purple Sun Corps are indeed powerful. With only three hundred soldiers, they captured Celestial Yang City, took down Nine Demon City, and killed thousands of Demons. These are indeed god-like achievents."
After pausing, ng Man continued, "But sir, have you thought about the fact that it's not thirty thousand Demons besieging our Mute City now, but two hundred thousand? And the commanders of the Demons are not just one or two brothers of Nine Demons, but four of them, backed by Demon King City. Their corps include many top experts sent by Demon King City."
"In such a large-scale war, Purple Marshal and those three hundred Purple Sun Cavalry find it challenging to play a decisive role as before."
"I know it's difficult, but we have no other path to take. The Purple Sun Corps went through the sa ordeal; they should understand us. Now, all we have is this one last option," Chen Si said with a resolute gaze and then reminded ng Man, "When we get to Celestial Yang City, be sure not to lose your temper with Purple Marshal."
"Rest assured, Sir, ng Man will not ss up," ng Man, though headstrong, knew the big picture and was not prone to losing her sense of proportion.
The previous suggestion was indeed the only option left.
She held great respect for Zi Donglai, just like many from Mute City, who regarded Zi Donglai as a War God after hearing about his and the Purple Sun Corps' achievents.
Many in Mute City called Zi Donglai the Purple Marshal, a supre honor in Mute City, reserved only for commanders akin to a War God.
Early the next morning, Chen Si and ng Man left Taishan City, not returning ho but heading towards Celestial Yang City, their last hopeful destination.
...
Chen Guan returned to Celestial Yang City to inspect the ongoing repairs of the Suspended Island, which he now nad "Purple Sun City" for use as the base for the Purple Sun Corps.
"The layout here needs to be adjusted, set aside this core area, and lay a solid foundation; I have new plans," Chen Guan said to Fujimura Reiko while holding blueprints.
"Okay," Fujimura Reiko confird the type of foundation Chen Guan needed and arranged for people to prepare it.
She had unconditional trust in Chen Guan and would follow whatever he wanted to do without question.
"Big brother, didn't you say you were looking for the Reverse Elent Skill before? I heard so news about it," Fujimura Reiko spoke up after Chen Guan finished speaking.
"Soone is selling the Reverse Elent Skill?" Chen Guan felt a surge of joy.
If he could buy the Reverse Elent Skill, he wouldn't need to go through the hassle of heading to the Celestial Essence Sea.
"Not exactly, but soone captured a Yuan Ling Witch alive and intends to put her up for auction," Fujimura Reiko explained.
Chen Guan frowned slightly. It's true that Yuan Ling Witches can produce the Reverse Elent Skill, but it's not guaranteed. Buying a Yuan Ling Witch doesn't necessarily an obtaining the Reverse Elent Skill.
"However, the person selling the Yuan Ling Witch may pose so trouble, and it might not be easy to trade with them," Fujimura Reiko hesitated to say.
"Who is selling the Yuan Ling Witch?" Chen Guan asked.
"The Female Demon Jin Taohua," Fujimura Reiko replied.
