Without a hindrance, Xiao Yang appeared beside City Lord Chen in a flash. His figure was like a ghost as he instantly circled behind City Lord Chen.
City Lord Chen wanted to take advantage of the Chen family's delay to escape, but as soon as he took a step, he found that there was an extra hand on his shoulder.
That hand seemed to possess boundless strength, directly pressing him down.
"City Lord Chen, you just said something about the strong preying on the weak. I think it's very reasonable. Now, I want to discuss it with you and let you have a taste of the strong preying on the weak. What do you think?"
Xiao Yang looked at City Lord Chen teasingly with contempt in his eyes.
This frightened City Lord Chen. His face was pale and bloodless. He hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, I know you're very capable. I'm convinced. I won't stop you. Please go ahead."
Xiao Yang chuckled and said, "If we weren't strong enough, you could stop us. Now that we're very strong, you can't stop us even if you want to. So, it's not up to you whether you want to invite us or not. It's up to us."
"Since you appeared here to block our way, you should have thought about the price of failure, right?"
Xiao Yang looked at City Lord Chen with a smile that was not a smile.
City Lord Chen immediately said, "I don't know what your requirements and conditions are. Don't worry, I'll do my best."
"I want you to give up this city. I don't know if you can do it."
Xiao Yang had a playful look on his face.
What?
City Lord Chen's face changed when he heard this condition. If it was other conditions, City Lord Chen might be able to do it.
But the price was a city. This was too expensive, and City Lord Chen could not afford to lose it.
City Lord Chen could not help but frown. He was very worried and tangled on how to deal with Xiao Yang. At the same time, he was thinking about how to escape.
He hoped to protect himself, and also hoped to protect his property and wealth. In any case, he was not willing to lose any value.
However, it was obvious that this ideal was very unrealistic. It was basically impossible to achieve.
After pondering for a while, City Lord Chen said awkwardly, "Your Excellency, can you mention other conditions? I might be able to agree to it."
After all, the price was too high. It was so high that even he could not bear it.
Therefore, it would be good if he could change to another one.
However, Xiao Yang smiled and shook his head, obviously not agreeing to the other party's bargaining.
"Is there really no room for negotiation at all?"
City Lord Chen squeezed out a smile, which was uglier than crying.
"There is," Xiao Yang said calmly. City Lord Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as there was still room for discussion, that was good.
"Then, if you die, I will directly take over Chen Jiacheng."
Xiao Yang was toying with him.
City Lord Chen pulled a long face, feeling very uncomfortable.
In the end, he could only compromise and say, "Then I'll give you this city. However, my Chen Clan has lived in this city for many years, and our roots are very deep. Even if you want us to leave, you have to give us some time, right?"
Xiao Yang chuckled and said, "Of course. But how are you going to make me believe you? If I let you go like this and you go back to prepare for war, then it will be very troublesome. Don't talk to me about your reputation. I don't believe in verbal promises. I want your actions. So, do you understand? "
City Lord Chen's face almost fell, and his face was extremely ugly.
Of course, he knew Xiao Yang's meaning, but he felt uncomfortable and didn't want to accept this kind of sacrifice.
But, what right did he have to refuse?
His life and death were in Xiao Yang's hands, and he was at the mercy of Xiao Yang. Needless to say, it was very difficult.
"I understand, I understand, Your Excellency."
City Lord Chen was almost crying when he spoke, and then reluctantly took out a drop of soul blood and handed it to Xiao Yang.
After Xiao Yang accepted the other party's soul blood, he let the other party go.
"City Lord Chen, I hope you will do as you say. Otherwise, if I see you are still inside, I will crush your soul blood. At that time, you will be responsible for all the consequences."
Xiao Yang said and then released the other party.
City Lord Chen didn't dare to refute or doubt and hurriedly nodded.
Then, he called out to the many Chen family members and said, "Stop fighting, let's retreat."
In the group battle battlefield, the Chen family had the upper hand. After all, they had more people and their overall strength was high.
This was because they were all from the Chen family city, unlike Sun Desheng who came from the remote Giant Spirit Town. They were also not like Xiao Dahai and the others who were chased out of the Small family city.
But it didn't matter. Anyway, City Lord Chen had already lost to Xiao Yang. Those Chen family cultivators could only listen to his orders.
"Let's go."
City Lord Chen saw that many Chen family members had left the battlefield and called out to them. Then, he led them away and returned to the Chen family city.
Xiao Dahai and Sun Desheng looked at Xiao Yang in confusion and asked why he let City Lord Chen go. It was because City Lord Chen was the in-law of the Dongfang family. If the Chen family came to help when they attacked the Dongfang family, the situation would be even more difficult.
Xiao Yang explained, "Patriarch Sun, you have the Giant Spirit Town. Coincidentally, I don't have a place to stay. I happened to fancy this Small family city, so I let them leave."
Xiao Dahai and Sun Desheng didn't have any objections and nodded in understanding. They couldn't let Xiao Yang work for nothing.
After Xiao Yang and the others left the Chen family city, they soon encountered another force that intercepted them.
It was the vanguard of the Dongfang family, as well as other family members and mercenaries who were recruited.
The Dongfang family already knew about the situation ahead. They also knew that Dongfang Yibai and Dongfang Qingyang had fallen in the hands of Xiao Yang.
At this moment, the Dongfang family was actively preparing for war. Their plan was to use the Dongfang city as the main battlefield to welcome the attack of Xiao Yang and the others.
However, they weren't always ready for war. They needed some time to mobilize and prepare. Therefore, they sent some cannon fodder to the front line, intending to obstruct Xiao Yang and the others so that they could buy some time for the rear.
Although they were cannon fodder, their overall strength couldn't be underestimated.
There were three Third Stage King Wu that came. One of them was from the Dongfang family, and the other two were affiliated forces of the Dongfang family.
As for the remaining cultivators, there were dozens of them. At least, they seemed to be a force that couldn't be underestimated.
"I'm Dongfang Nanlin, Your Excellency Xiao Yang. If you stop here and sincerely apologize to us, the Dongfang family is willing to forgive your mistakes. What do you think?"
Dongfang Nanlin was at the front of the team. He saw Xiao Yang from afar. After standing up, he saluted Xiao Yang and the others, and then shouted loudly.
Xiao Yang said, "Dongfang Nanlin, don't say anything. Let's fight first. Let's talk with our strength."
