The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 182
Chapter 182 Silk Stripping
Within the Hundred Gardens, City Lord Su and Li Qing sat opposite each other.
“Why is the City Lord here this time?” Li Qing’s expression was very calm. During this period of time, nothing was bothering him. He only cultivated and treated his illness. He felt that he was isolated from the rest of the world.
“The allied forces of the major powers are about to attack. May I know what solution you have?” City Lord Su asked straightforwardly.
“Attack?” Li Qing was somewhat surprised. He still didn’t know anything about this matter. He stayed in Su Mansion for a long time and didn’t go out. He had been cultivating hard and occasionally treated Su Jingxiang’s illness.
Although he was a little surprised, he still nodded his head and said, “After a few months, they have finally begun to make their move. They should be fully prepared. This matter is within their expectations. I wonder where they are now? What is the enemy’s power?”
He asked several questions in a row.
City Lord Su replied, “They used a lot of methods to deal with Jiangyuan City. It’s very troublesome. The situation in the city is extremely serious now …” As he spoke, he told Li Qing what had happened in the past few days.
After pondering for a while, Li Qing’s mind was spinning rapidly. He stood up and took a few steps. His face inadvertently revealed a domineering and confident expression.
When City Lord Su saw his transformation, he could not help but reveal a trace of shock in his eyes.
Li Qing said, “The enemy’s actions are to create chaos and disrupt our defenses so that we can be easily dealt with and the casualties can be minimized.” As for the Su Clan’s response, according to what you said, the first method to recruit loose cultivators is something that must be done. It is not a good method. Although the effect is not very good, it is better than nothing, right? “As for the second method, it might seem feasible to force the various clans in the city to join forces to resist the enemy, but it is actually useless and even harmful.”
“Why do you say that?”
Li Qing said, “Jiangyuan City is already in chaos. If you add another fire and make the situation worse, wouldn’t it be foolish? Jiangyuan City is in chaos first before the enemy arrives?”
He mercilessly criticized City Lord Su, and he had the aura of a superior.
When City Lord Su heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He, the City Lord, was criticized by a young man. It made him feel strange, but he couldn’t refute it. He was actually suppressed by Li Qing in terms of momentum. It was extremely strange.
How could a person’s temperament change so much?
‘”Moreover, even if you really succeeded in forcing them to send people over to help, it would only be a waste of effort. What’s the use? It’s just a burden. Actually, these clans are so weak that they can’t help at all. It’s a waste of food. It’s a pity that they don’t need to spend so much energy to recruit them.”
Jiang Yuan City had developed for such a short period of time, and the clan’s influence was extremely weak. There was simply no time to grow stronger, so Li Qing completely ignored it.
“That’s right, your analysis makes sense. What should we do now that the matter has come to this point?”
“Pacify them. As long as they don’t cause trouble, it won’t affect the overall situation. If anyone dares to cause trouble, immediately kill them. It’s unforgivable.” Li Qing’s eyes flashed with a dense killing intent. “Let everyone know that the ruler of Jiangyuan City is still the Su Clan!”
“Alright, let’s do as you say.” City Lord Su unconsciously nodded his head, as if he was listening to the teachings of a student.
“As for Bai Fucheng refused to come to the rescue, rumors have it that they have always been known for benevolence and righteousness, but this time the style is very different, actually directly tore open the skin, there is no room for relaxation. “I think the reason for this is probably because the enemy has contacted Baifu City long ago, and with such great benefits, they can’t refuse. That’s why they have such an attitude.”
“I see. This analysis is very reasonable.”
“As for Young Master Bai Fu, he really deserves to die. The fact that Miss Su was cured by me has not spread. Outsiders do not know that this person wants a dying person to be his concubine. He is so hungry that he is either a pervert or he has cultivated a devil art!”
“Demonic Technique!” City Lord Su paled in shock.
“In Diabolism, there is a type of demonic art that specializes in gathering Yin and tonifying Yang. Using this as a way of cultivation, one’s strength can advance by leaps and bounds. Miss Su has Lunar Energy in her body. It is precisely this type of demon’s excellent tonic. It is not surprising that Young Master Baifu has his eyes on her.”
“That’s outrageous! This kid deserves to die! No wonder Young Master Baifu cultivated to the Xiantian realm at such a young age. So he actually cultivated the Yin Gathering and Yang Nourishing Devil Technique!” The killing intent in City Lord Su’s eyes was awe-inspiring.
“That’s right. You have cultivated to the Xiantian realm at such a young age, and you even want Miss Su to be your concubine. There are all sorts of unreasonable things that can be reasonably explained here.”
City Lord Su stood up and said seriously, “The Su Clan has reached the moment of life and death. I hope Protector Li will help our Su Clan!”
Li Qing also said with a serious expression, “Since the Su Clan regards me as their guest, isn’t it for the sake of asking me to help them at this moment of life and death? Now is the time for me to fulfill my obligations.”
City Lord Su was overjoyed, “Sure enough, he is a chivalrous person! I didn’t misjudge you. You have helped our Su Clan many times and saved my daughter’s life. He is my great benefactor. I really don’t know how to thank you!”
“It doesn’t matter. This is what I should do.”
City Lord Su smiled and said, “Some of the guests may have been enshrined by the clan for a lifetime and have never had a chance to make a move. They are merely the protection of a clan. I didn’t expect that you would encounter such a great life and death crisis not long after becoming a guest of the Su Clan. I really feel guilty.”
Li Qing’s expression was indifferent, “Life’s fortune is like this. Although there are some dangers, who knows if it isn’t opportunity and temper? If we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, then our Jiangyuan City will be able to gain great prestige, obtain great benefits, and its strength will surely expand rapidly.”
“That’s right. I wonder how confident you are in repelling the enemy?”
“I also don’t know. This depends on the strength of the enemy. My cultivation has improved again. It should be easy to defeat a Xiantian fourth layer expert. However, I will have to fight to know the specific situation. I don’t dare to guarantee it to you.”
“Defeat Xiantian 4th layer!” City Lord Su was overjoyed, “If you can defeat the fourth level of the Xiantian realm, then your chances of victory this time will be much greater!”
Defeating the Xiantian 4th layer, rather than being on par with the Xiantian 4th layer, was a huge difference.
Li Qing nodded. Then, he took out a porcelain bottle from his interspatial ring and handed it to City Lord Su. “I see that you have reached the peak of the 3rd level of the Xiantian realm for a long time and have been unable to break through. The bottle contains a Barrier Breaking Pill that can help you break through.”
“Barrier Breaking Pill!” City Lord Su was shocked. He didn’t expect it to be such a precious medicinal pill.
The Barrier Breaking Pill was a high-grade pill that could help Xiantian experts break through the barriers. It was extremely precious and rarely circulated in the world. Once it appeared, it would be snapped up by others.
City Lord Su shook his head and said, “No, this pill is too precious. I’ll give it to you. When you break through, your strength will be even stronger. At that time, you’ll be more confident in repelling the enemy.”
Facing the temptation of such a precious medicinal pill, he was able to endure the pain and reject it. It could be seen that he was also a person with a firm will.
Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh and said, “I don’t need this pill. I’ll give it to you. This pill was specially refined for you, so don’t refuse it anymore.”
With his current cultivation speed, he felt that his cultivation speed was too fast, causing his foundation to become unstable. How could he still use this pill?
When City Lord Su heard this, he no longer refused and reached out to receive it. He held it tightly with an excited expression on his face.
Li Qing said, “Recently, rumors have spread all over the city. People are panicking, causing many people to leave because of fear. This is a bad phenomenon. If all the people run away, can Jiangyuan City still be called a city? It’s meaningless for us to defend an empty city. Therefore, we must prevent the loss of population.”
“That’s right. This problem is indeed quite serious. I will have someone solve it.”
“In addition, we can also send people to Yu Tian City and other places to cause trouble and delay time. As long as we have a little time, I will be able to cultivate to a higher realm, and you can also break through to the fourth level of the Xiantian realm. With the two of us working together, the enemy will only be like chickens and tiles, unable to withstand a single blow.”
