Chapter 341 We must win over Dragon City!
Sotun was still not entirely convinced that the Dragon City Lord's strength was roughly equal to that of the Snow Night City Lord.
However, the bald man praised the other party to the skies, while his own younger brother was trapped in Dragon City.
Even though he was not entirely convinced, Sotun decided to proceed cautiously and bring enough people with him.
What Sotun didn't know was that shortly after he left the city lord's mansion, a guard took out a small insect and spread the news that the East City Lord had suddenly gone out.
The sound-transmitting insect, a special kind of insect, is not unique to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Some truly large cities employ similar methods.
However, these sound-transmitting insects are of too low a level, have too short a transmission distance, and are too slow.
Most of the time, the speed of sound transmission is not as fast as human power.
Therefore, true powerhouses rarely use it; only secret agents do.
On the other side, in the city of ruins, the main city.
"What? The Eastern City Lord, Sotun, has suddenly left the city? And he's brought several of his strongest retainers with him..." Inside the main city's lord's mansion, City Lord Xueye frowned slightly upon hearing the intelligence from his subordinates.
The disparity in strength between Sotun and Xueye over the years has led to a growing rift between them.
So, Sotun is monitoring Xueye, but Xueye also places people around Sotun.
However, he was not one of Sotun's confidants.
The scouts didn't know the specifics and could only report Sotun's whereabouts.
“Father! You said Sotun also went south?” At this moment, Xue Donglai and his sister happened to arrive. Upon hearing this, Xue Donglai also frowned.
Batu quietly left the East City and headed south, and the Snow Night City Lord also received the intelligence.
Xue Donglai was aware of these things as well.
"Is there a problem?" Xueye asked, puzzled, seeing her son's expression.
He couldn't understand Sotun's situation either, and always felt that there was something fishy going on.
"Father, what I told you about Dragon City before, if they leave Beast City and head straight for the City of Ruins..." Xue Donglai said seriously, "wouldn't they be coming from the south?"
"You mean? They've already found Dragon City?"
Hearing this, Xueye became even more puzzled. "Isn't that Dragon City Lord just an eighth-level expert? He probably can't even beat Batu. Why would Sotun go there?"
Based on his son's description, he had long suspected Xiao Yu.
This Dragon City Lord's cultivation level should only be at the seventh level.
However, due to his amazing talent, he is able to fight beyond his level and possesses strength comparable to an eighth-level opponent.
But ultimately, he still comes from a small town.
And... every city lord and deputy city lord of the City of Ruins not only possesses powerful talents, but also various methods such as totem tattoos, which are far beyond what an eighth-rank official from a small place can compare to.
“I don’t know the specifics either. But Father, no matter what, the Bodhi Fruit and Night-Shining Dew from Dragon City are the last resort to save you!” Xue Donglai said urgently.
He also felt that Xiao Yu was nothing compared to the city lords of the City of Ruins.
Even Batu, the deputy city lord of the East City, couldn't defeat him.
Therefore, Sotun's departure might indeed have ulterior motives.
However, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If the two brothers really find Dragon City, they can either destroy it or win it over.
This will be a devastating blow to the Xue family!
"So what do you want to do?" Xueye asked.
“Father, just in case, I must go out immediately to greet Longcheng and meet with the city lord of Longcheng. I must win him over to our side, or at least keep him neutral and prevent him from getting involved in this matter.”
"Furthermore, please ask the City Lord of Dragon City to sell us healing medicine," Xue Donglai said.
What worried him even more was that the Lord of Dragon City had sided with Sotun.
Because the Xue family, the main city lords, are clearly no longer in power.
Meanwhile, the East City Lord, Sotun, is in his prime, and it's only a matter of time before he breaks through to the ninth rank.
After all... Xue Donglai was self-aware enough to know that he and Xiao Yu were just casual acquaintances.
From Longcheng's perspective, there was no reason to refuse a top-tier power and instead cooperate with the weak Xue family.
"Alright! If things are hopeless, protecting ourselves is the priority." Lord Xueye also realized the key point and said in a deep voice.
No matter what happens after Sotun finds Dragon City, it will definitely be the worst outcome for the Xue family!
Sending his son to see the Lord of Dragon City might be the only chance.
"Father, I want to go too!" Xue Qingcheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"No!" Two voices rang out simultaneously.
The voices of Xue Ye and Xue Donglai were both incredibly resolute.
There is absolutely no room for argument.
"I must go!"
However, Xue Qingcheng seemed like a different person, her tone equally resolute.
"I am the daughter of the city lord of the City of Ruins."
Father, you and my brother have always doted on me! You've given me the very best of everything!
But now... the Xue family is on the verge of collapse, and I should do my part!
Xue Qingcheng's tone was equally unquestionable.
Changing the subject, she smiled sweetly and said, "Besides, Father, you said it yourself, my beauty is unparalleled in the world. If Brother takes me there, it will be easier for him to talk to that Lord of Dragon City."
As she spoke, her azure eyes turned gold, and her golden wings fluttered a few times.
At first glance, it looks like an elf descended from the heavens, pure and beautiful beyond compare.
"Sigh, since you've made up your mind, then go with me."
……
Dragon Pool, inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiao Yu was naturally unaware that his Dragon City had become a third force that the two factions of the City of Ruins were vying to win over.
At this moment, all the women were looking at Xiao Yu with longing expressions.
To be precise... I was looking at the wine jar he was holding.
"Ascension Wine? What a wonderful name!" Upon hearing this name, the women had no doubts whatsoever, simply because they felt an intense longing the moment Xiao Yu opened the wine seal.
A longing from the depths of the soul.
I always feel that once you drink it, you'll ascend to immortality!
"Don't rush, let me taste it first..." Xiao Yu ignored the expectant looks from the women, poured himself a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
The next second, a surge of heat rushed into my body.
Instantly, Xiao Yu felt a surge of heat throughout his body.
It felt like floating on air, but also a kind of pain that I had only experienced during my previous evolution.
However, this evolutionary effect quickly disappeared without a trace.
"I see?" After a moment, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes, felt his own condition, and found that there was no change. He suddenly realized.
This drink is indeed very magical, but it has no effect on me.
"Alright, you can drink now." Xiao Yu looked at the expectant women and said in a somewhat serious tone, "I should warn you first that this drink is quite potent; it might sting a little!"
"Yes, yes, we'll be fine," the women assured each other.
"That's good!" Xiao Yu nodded in response.
Then, he poured a cup for each of the women.
At this moment, the women were practically drooling with envy.
They immediately picked up their thumb-sized crystal wine glasses and brought them to their noses to smell them.
"It smells so good! I'll never forget this aroma." Wolf Girl Qi Sha had the best sense of smell. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath of the wine's fragrance, and exclaimed.
The aroma of the wine is so rich and intense that it is unforgettable!
