"Fellow Yao, please make arrangements for the battle at the top of the city wall. We still have some people hiding outside the city. When they're all here, please open the city gates and let us in," Shen Luo said.
"Shen Daoyou, don't worry. You've come all the way from Jianye City and have done us a favor. The city gates of Sword Gate Pass will naturally be opened to you," Yao Feng said solemnly as he cupped his fists.
"Thank you very much," Shen Luo cupped his fists in return.
Then, he leaped out of the city wall and walked a few steps on the city wall before landing beside everyone.
"How's the situation at the top of the city wall?" Bai Xiaoyun asked when he saw him coming over.
"It's fine now. That Pavilion Master Yao Feng …" Shen Luo roughly explained the situation at the top of the city wall to everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Luo recalled his conversation with Yao Feng. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
At this moment, a series of orders came from the top of the city wall. It seemed that Yao Feng was ordering his subordinates to clean up the battlefield.
"Bai Bi, go and bring the people who are waiting outside. Let's enter the city together," Bai Xiaoyun glanced at the top of the city wall and said.
"Yes." Bai Bi immediately responded and turned to run.
"I'll go and help too. Get everyone to come over quickly," Shen Yu said.
"Alright, let everyone enter the city as soon as possible to prevent the monsters from coming back," Shen Luo nodded and said.
"Didn't you see that those guys have been beaten back? Do they dare to come back? "At this moment, a sneer came from the side. The tone was full of disdain.
Shen Yu was about to leave when she heard the voice and turned to look. She found that the person who spoke was Lu Yong.
She frowned slightly and a bit of disgust appeared in her eyes. It wasn't because of this person's sarcasm, but because she didn't see him do anything when they were fighting the monsters. Now, he suddenly appeared.
"You're not those animals. How do you know they don't dare?" Shen Luo asked expressionlessly.
"What did you say …" Lu Yong flew into a rage when he heard those words.
"This … Of course I am not one of those beasts, but I know that the words of beasts are not to be trusted. If we had listened to the rhinoceros spirit and took a detour, the Swords Gate Fortress would be doomed …" Just as he was about to explode in anger, he saw Bai Xiaoyun looking at him from the side. He had no choice but to change the topic and say angrily.
"Fortunately, we did not believe him. Indeed, that fellow did not have good intentions," a person behind Lu Yong quickly said.
"Those who aren't of our race will definitely have different intentions. Next time, it's better to just kill them," someone else shouted.
"That's enough. Although the monster was exaggerating a lot, it wasn't all lies. At least we've received the news that the Swords Gate Fortress is under attack, and we've made preparations in advance." Bai Xiaoyun suppressed the crowd's discussion and said.
Only then did everyone shut up.
Around half an hour later, Bai Bi and the others brought all the commoners over and stopped outside the city gates.
The mountain of corpses that had accumulated at the city gates had already been cleared away. However, the piles of corpses on both sides of the road still looked very terrifying.
Accompanied by a heavy sound, the two extremely heavy doors slowly opened outwards.
Shen Luo looked through the doorway and saw that there were men and women, young and old, standing on both sides of the door. There were dozens of people standing there. Judging by their physiques and the injuries on their bodies, they seemed to be cultivators.
Behind these people, there were hundreds of people standing there. The group was clustered together and stretched all the way into the city.
Shen Luo looked around and found that the cultivators standing at the front were still fine. There was still some light in their eyes. However, the commoners standing at the back all looked tired and numb. It seemed like they had also been ravaged by the demon's invasion.
"Fellow cultivators, I've been waiting for a long time. I am very grateful for your help earlier. Please come into the city for a chat." At this moment, Yao Feng, who was wearing a green Taoist robe, walked to the front of the crowd and bowed to the crowd.
"We are just passing by. We won't disturb you too much. Thank you for your trouble." Bai Xiaoyun heard him and returned the bow.
"No problem, no problem. I can't wait for you all to stay for a few more days." Yao Feng's smile grew wider as he said.
Shen Luo looked around the doorway for a long time. He quietly retreated to Shen Yu's side and whispered a few words into her ear.
She then quietly walked to Shen Huayuan's side and said a few words to him.
Everyone's attention was on the doorway. No one noticed the strange actions of the Shen family.
"Everyone, please come into the city. Although there are no sumptuous banquets in the city, we have prepared some food for everyone. I hope you don't mind." Yao Feng waved his hand and gestured for everyone to enter.
Bai Xiaoyun then waved his hand and gestured for everyone to enter the city. He then led the way through the doorway and walked into the city.
Everyone in the city saw this and quickly retreated.
Following closely behind, Lu Yong and the others also strode into the city.
Shen Luo was not in a hurry to follow them in. Instead, he stood by the door and guided the people to drive the carriages into the city.
The Shen family had been instructed by Shen Luo to stay where they were. After everyone had entered, they replaced the Bai family members who were originally at the back and became the tail of the procession.
Everything was in order, safe and sound.
"It seems that I was overthinking …" Shen Luo muttered to himself. He sighed in his heart and walked towards the front of the procession.
The procession in front had already exited the doorway and arrived at a square in the city. On the ground near the wall, one could still see piles of wine cups filled with kerosene and neatly stacked bundles of arrows.
On the other side, a temporary Ovens could be seen in the distance. It seemed that wartime supplies were all taken care of in this square.
Shen Luo glanced around and noticed that there was no fire under the stove. There was not even a trace of warmth. It looked like it had not been used for a long time. A trace of doubt arose in his heart.
According to what Yao Feng said at the top of the city, the monsters had already besieged the city for a few days. The stove here should not have been broken.
It was at this moment that he carefully recalled what Yao Feng had said earlier. His eyes suddenly flashed as he finally remembered what he felt was off about.
Previously, he had never mentioned Jianye City in front of Yao Feng, let alone his origins. However, Yao Feng directly said that they had traveled a long way from Jianye City.
This matter … How did he know?
Moreover, Jianye City had just been broken into not long ago. Logically speaking, the news should not have spread. Although Sword Gate Pass was not too far away, in such a closed state, how could he have gotten the news?
"Fellow Yao, before us, did anyone else come to help?" Shen Luo asked just in case.
