Chapter 1104: Chapter 739: The Yuan Water Capital City Lord Will Surrender (Part 2)
“This knife is really quite formidable!”
Kui Jiang looked at the long knife in his hand, stunned for a mont. He hadn’t expected to kill the opponent with just one slash.
“Let have a turn!”
Unwilling to be outdone, Xiu Huang grabbed the long knife and charged at another Elder.
However, once he held it, he realized the knife was like a bloodsucking mosquito.
His entire body’s strength was being frantically drawn out by the knife, yet the flas on it burned even more fiercely.
“Ping Xiao!”
With a shout, Ping Xiao once again activated the Nine-Bend Yellow River’s great formation, forcibly pulling out another Elder.
Prepared, Xiu Huang slashed with the blade, countless flas turning into blazing intent to kill!
Bang!
At that mont, the Supre Elder of the True Demon Realm intercepted the slash.
But even so, the mighty flas still surged toward that Elder.
Although most of the attack was blocked, the strike still claid his life!
“Hiss!”
While the slash did not directly decapitate him, it did strike his heart and chest.
“Retreat!”
With a pale complexion, Ping Xiao knew he couldn’t hold out any longer. He was under no pressure dealing with a few celestial Demon Realm experts.
Unfortunately, there was a great expert of the True Demon Realm present, and being able to hold out for an incense stick’s worth of ti was already a miraculous effort.
Seeing Ping Xiao’s poor state, Kui Jiang and Xiu Huang did not hesitate at all, retreating with Ping Xiao.
The Supre Elder of such a Realm looked cold and murderous.
It was unexpected that these people had fled right under his nose, yet he was powerless to stop them.
A celestial Demon Realm Elder beside him asked, “Elder, aren’t you going to pursue them?”
He shook his head: “We can’t pursue. If I chase them alone, none will be caught. If you go, and they activate the formation again, we might lose another!”
Originally, there were only four celestial Demon Realm experts guarding the Green Mountain Sect, now two were dead.
If another died, the Green Mountain Sect’s top fighting force would be reduced to just one!
Just as Ping Xiao and the others had left, a letter suddenly floated down from the sky.
The Supre Elder gently beckoned, and the letter landed in his hand.
“If the Green Mountain Sect wishes to remain safe, it must sever ties with Yuan Water Capital, or today will rely be a small demonstration. Take heed!”
Just a short couple of lines, yet the Supre Elder felt imnse pressure, realizing the Free Heaven Country was indeed targeting Yuan Water Capital.
However, the Free Heaven Country’s intent wasn’t to obliterate the Green Mountain Sect directly, but to use its withdrawal to strike at Yuan Water Capital.
“Elder…”
The other two Elders panicked, realizing the opponent wanted to force them out of Yuan Water Capital.
If they withdrew, everything achieved prior would be lost, all benefits vanished as if in smoke.
The Supre Elder took a deep breath: “Withdraw.”
“What choice do we have besides withdrawing? The Free Heaven Country cos and goes like a ghost. They killed two of us this ti, next, the entire Green Mountain Sect might pay half its mbers. Though important, protecting our foundation is essential.”
This Supre Elder was also furious, but helpless.
If the Qing Mountain Sect’s Sect Master were alive, perhaps the Free Heaven Country wouldn’t be so brazen.
Sadly, their Sect Master was inexplicably killed by the Demon Monarch’s Demonic Thoughts, leaving the Green Mountain Sect with no forr foundation.
This battle was exhilarating for Ping Xiao and others, killing two Green Mountain Sect Elders without losing a single soldier.
And this news soon reached Yuan Water Capital.
“What?”
Upon hearing it, Hai Fengping’s face imdiately changed.
The Green Mountain Sect had clearly stated their intent to withdraw, ceasing cooperation with Yuan Water Capital.
A Green Mountain Sect Elder said with a complex expression: “City Lord, it’s not that we don’t want to cooperate, but the Free Heaven Country has arrived, if our own ho, the Green Mountain Sect, can’t be protected, then all our efforts are in vain, isn’t it ironic.”
Hai Fengping was thoroughly anxious. Without the Green Mountain Sect, how could he withstand the Bo Family and the Free Heaven Country?
Moreover, what frightened him more was the strength of the Free Heaven Country.
Especially since he had captured Du Feng and interrogated him.
The Free Heaven Country was surely seething with rage. Without the Green Mountain Sect, he’d face two powers alone. How could he handle such fury?
But seeing the Green Mountain Sect’s resolute decision, Hai Fengping knew conventional ans wouldn’t keep them.
So, taking drastic action, he coldly said: “Gentlen, where in this world is there such a convenient thing? Think carefully, if you break ties with us, the Green Mountain Sect won’t fare much better!”
The two Green Mountain Sect Elders were already dejected.
Hearing Hai Fengping’s threat, they imdiately retorted angrily: “City Lord, what do you an by this? Do you want us to continue dealing with the Bo Family and Free Heaven Country with you.”
Hai Fengping’s position was clear: “Today, whether you want to or not, you must stay together!”
“Haha, City Lord, such authority, one might think it’s truly powerful.”
This Elder wasn’t afraid: “If you have the courage, talk to our Green Mountain Sect’s Supre Elder. I’m sure he’d be delighted to et the City Lord.”
“You!”
Hai Fengping pointed at him, but words failed him; they had a True Demon Realm expert, and Yuan Water Capital had none.
“City Lord, farewell!”
With that, the two Elders left the City Lord Mansion.
Watching them leave, Hai Fengping felt utterly drained, collapsing onto his seat.
Nearby generals were anxious, asking Hai Fengping: “City Lord, what do we do now? The Free Heaven Country is attacking the Green Mountain Sect; will they soday attack Yuan Water Capital?”
The Counselor shook his head: “Absolutely not. They’re not here to kill us, but to gain indirect control, just like with Tianfeng City.”
The Counselor saw clearly and understood the Free Heaven Country’s intent.
But he also knew handling the Free Heaven Country, especially with their fury, wasn’t easy.
Just as the Green Mountain Sect withdrew from Yuan Water Capital, the Free Heaven Country indeed acted, and the Bo Family even openly displayed their comrcial plans.
No force within Yuan Water Capital could now rival the Bo Family, while externally, they were burdened by imnse pressure from the Free Heaven Country.
That day at the Bo Family, Bo Fengchen laughed broadly: “You truly have formidable thods. In such a short ti, you’ve caused great pressure on Yuan Water Capital City Lord Mansion, even making the Green Mountain Sect withdraw.”
Wang Yang smiled faintly: “Just a minor trick. Without the Green Mountain Sect, Yuan Water Capital is inevitably unable to stand alone. Now, the Family Head can expand and force Hai Fengping to submit.”
This intrigued Bo Fengchen: “Are you sure Hai Fengping will surrender to us?”
Wang Yang confidently replied: “The Family Head hasn’t seen it yet. The City Lord Mansion surely understands we, the Free Heaven Country, seek wealth, not mutual destruction.”
Even then, Bo Fengchen still didn’t grasp the Free Heaven Country’s intent: “So…”
“Simply put, as long as there’s peaceful coexistence, we won’t trouble the City Lord Mansion. Weighing the options, I believe Hai Fengping, being smart, will know what to choose.”
Though unsure why Wang Yang was so certain, Bo Fengchen trusted his judgnt.
