"It's him! He's actually still alive! "
On the city wall, Jia Yun finally saw the domineering and arrogant figure clearly.
Ling Xiao!
Jia Yun's expression became very interesting.
Anger, viciousness, rage!
All kinds of emotions seemed to have gathered on his face.
Ling Xiao ignored Jia Yun. He rode his demonic wolf and arrived at the city gates. He looked at Jia Lin, who was on the city gate tower, and said, "General Jia, I have chased the enemy for thousands of miles. Now that I have returned victorious, I hope you can open the city gates quickly!"
His voice was very loud. He wanted all the onlookers in the city to hear and see. He wanted the soldiers to understand.
He, Ling Xiao, was not a traitor. He was a hero!
As he spoke, he raised Timur Mutu's head. "The head of the Black Crow Empire's Grand Tutor Timur Mutu is here. General Jia should recognize this person, right?"
Hearing this, the soldiers on the city wall were shocked.
They had naturally heard of Timur Mutu's name and recognized his face. After all, he was a person whose fame spread far and wide.
The soldiers probably didn't know anything at all. They were just following orders. Therefore, Ling Xiao didn't have much hatred for them.
The situation was a little strange.
The soldiers heard from their superiors that Ling Xiao was a traitor and deserved to die.
However, now that Ling Xiao had returned with Timur Mutu's head, what should they say?
Could it be that their superiors had made a mistake?
For a moment, they were all confused.
Jia Lin sneered and said loudly, "Listen up. The evidence of Ling Xiao's treason is very conclusive. Now that he has suddenly returned, it is clear that he is opening a path for the Black Crow Empire. Perhaps the Black Crow Empire's army is nearby.
As for that head, he could easily hire a powerful disguise master to create it. Everyone, don't be fooled by this scoundrel.
Archers, formation soldiers, and puppet soldiers, get ready. This Ling Xiao is unforgivable. We must not let him go! "
The soldiers did not know anything, but they were more willing to believe Jia Lin's words.
After all, Jia Lin was their commander and a general appointed by the Emperor himself.
Moreover, with Ling Xiao's ability, how could he kill Timur Mutu? They didn't believe it at all.
"How shameless!"
Ling Xiao looked at Jia Lin coldly and said, "Jia Lin, by doing this, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will blame you when he proves that I'm not a traitor and that I did kill Timur Mutu?"
"Rest assured. If I find out in the future that I've made a mistake, this Jia will definitely kowtow in front of Overseer Ling's grave and apologize. But today, you colluded with the rebels to attack the Imperial City. This general is responsible for the safety of the Imperial City, so how can I let you in?"
Jia Lin chuckled. "Of course, if you don't want to die, you can also surrender. Since you believe that you are innocent, you can come with us. That way, you can clear your name."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao immediately scolded, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Do you think I'll be able to survive if I go with you? Great General Ji Ning trusted a shameless person like you too much. Otherwise, with his strength, how could he be captured by a shameless person like you?! "
"Hmph, since that's the case, don't blame this Jia for being impolite. Phoenix Cry Army, listen to my orders. You are the commander of the Nine Gates. Now that there are rebels who want to attack the city, you should know what to do, right?"
This Jia Lin was also cunning.
He was the one who wanted to kill Ling Xiao, but instead, he handed the responsibility to the Phoenix Cry Army. Even if something happened, he could easily escape.
"This subordinate understands!"
The Phoenix Cry Army's brains weren't as good as Jia Lin's. In addition, he hated Ling Xiao to the bone. In the past, he didn't have the chance to touch Ling Xiao, but today, he had such a good reason to kill Ling Xiao. How could he not be tempted?
Moreover, he knew that Ling Xiao was one of Feng Yinshan's people, and Feng Yinshan was the person who was competing for the throne with the Ice Phoenix Clan's crown prince, Feng Ming Qishan.
Killing Ling Xiao was equivalent to cutting off one of Feng Yinshan's arms.
Since that was the case, why not do it?
"Attack!"
Thinking of this, the Phoenix Cry Army no longer hesitated. He raised the command flag and waved it down.
Whoosh whoosh …
Boom boom …
The arrows, arrays, and puppet mechas' attacks began at almost the same time.
"Retreat first!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand, and the Moon Lady beside him and himself retreated out of the attack range.
The arrays of the Divine Phoenix Empire's Imperial City were extremely powerful, even more powerful than those of the Northern Desert City. Even an expert like the Moon Lady couldn't easily destroy it.
It was just like how Timur and Mu Tu were powerless when they faced the array attack of the Northern Desert City.
"Ling Xiao, give me three days and I will destroy this city!"
The Moon Lady said.
"It's too late. Today might be the day of the Great General's execution. We must enter the city as soon as possible."
Ling Xiao looked at the majestic city and suddenly thought of the destruction of the Sacred City.
In the Heavenly Dragon Continent, the True Demons Empire didn't rely on brute force to capture the Sacred City. Instead, they used spies to enter the city.
Then, he could naturally use the same method.
Although the arrays of the Imperial City were complex and powerful, such arrays were left behind from the Sacred Dynasty a long time ago. After experiencing many wars, although they could still be used, there were many flaws and cracks.
This gave Ling Xiao enough opportunity to sneak in.
Moreover, the people of the Dark Thorn had already sneaked into the city. If they cooperated to destroy those arrays and arrays, the chances of success would be very high.
"Sister Moon Lady, I will give you a signal later. If Xie Li also arrives at that time, you and Xie Li will attack the city together. The rest of the people don't move. The two of you are outsiders, so it's not considered a rebellion. You are just helping me. Remember."
"Be careful."
The Moon Lady looked at Ling Xiao and said.
"Don't worry. Now that my cultivation has improved and I have comprehended a lot of new things, this is nothing at all."
After saying that, Ling Xiao suddenly disappeared. The rest of the people pretended to surround him, blocking the line of sight of the people on the city tower.
With the Shadow Step and the Shadow Armor, Ling Xiao approached the city like a ghost. Then, he broke the defensive arrays and slipped into the city.
About 15 minutes later, Xie Li led thousands of scorpion men and arrived.
At the same time, Ling Xiao also began to move.
After entering the city, Ling Xiao contacted the Dark Thorn who had sneaked into the city in advance. Then, he taught them the method to temporarily close the arrays and gave them the key materials to close the arrays. Then, everyone split up.
After all, there were too many arrays. Ling Xiao couldn't handle it alone in a short period of time.
He ordered the Dark Thorn to immediately retreat after closing the arrays and head to the execution ground to rescue Ji Ning.
Ling Xiao had thought it through very clearly. If the monarch was determined to kill him this time, then he would take this opportunity to destroy the imperial city and kill the monarch.
Anyway, it was not difficult to do this with the Moon Lady.
However, if the Emperor chose to release Ji Ning and the others, he would have to make other plans.
After all, it was too risky to destroy the Imperial City and kill the Emperor.
