From the sound of her voice, it was obvious that NanGong Yu had just finished dealing with some matters.
The reason why NanGong Yu was here was self-evident. Everyone was well aware of it. The problem that Nangong City was facing right now was rather big. It might even be in danger of being destroyed. Therefore, as the City Lord, how could he not be worried at all?
"Come in." Xiao Yang said calmly.
NanGong Yu acknowledged and walked in. Although her expression seemed to have calmed down a lot, the previous troubles still made her, the City Lord, very uncomfortable.
Xiao Man sat at the side and poured tea, not even looking at this guest.
Now that Xiao Yang was sitting here, he looked like the host. It was as if NanGong Yu was the guest.
"City Lord Nangong is amazing. You managed to deal with the matter so quickly?" Xiao Yang asked with a smile.
NanGong Yu had a gloomy expression and said, "I am not good at judging people. I have embarrassed myself in front of you."
NanGong Yu could not be blamed for this. After all, she and Zhao Yunfu had gone through life and death together. However, she did not know that the other party was just setting up a trap. She wanted him to lead the Nangong Clan into the trap step by step.
Fortunately, Xiao Yang's appearance allowed him to discover some details. That was how he managed to settle the matter. Otherwise, he would only be able to regain his senses on the day of his death. At that time, it would be too late for regrets and he could only wait for death.
"When it comes to scheming, it's impossible to guard against it. Now that Zhao Yunfu has been caught, shall I take out the Heart Devouring Cicada for you? "Xiao Yang asked with a smile.
The Heart Devouring Cicada was an extremely potent poison. If it were to remain in NanGong Yu's heart, it would only cause harm to her. However, if it were to fall into Xiao Yang's hands, then the situation would change!
NanGong Yu waved her hand casually and said, "Don't worry about this. What news did you get from Zhao Yunfu?"
NanGong Yu felt that other matters could be put aside for now. However, the life and death of Nangong City was the most important thing. Furthermore, they could not afford to be careless.
How could a foundation that had been built up over tens of thousands of years be destroyed in his hands? Even if she had to rack her brains, NanGong Yu had to ensure that she would not become a sinner in her family.
Under normal circumstances, Nangong Cheng would not be afraid of Ximen Cheng; however, the other party was extremely ambitious, and had recruited quite a number of henchmen, not to mention that he had a variety of tricks up his sleeves, making it hard to defend against him.
Furthermore, their Nangong City was in a passive position, and no one knew when a great disaster would befall them. When that time came, the situation would be extremely bad.
If NanGong Yu could think of a better way to deal with this situation, she would naturally not have made this trip.
Although NanGong Yu also thought about allying with other two cities to resist West Gate City, that way they would be very confident, but would other two city lords listen to NanGong Yu's groundless talk?
When there were no signs of the matter leaking out, no one would easily make a move.
Moreover, even if it was confirmed, they didn't know how terrifying Ximen City was. In fact, they might even be happy to see it happen. You guys can just fight, and when the time comes, they can be the fisherman who cleans up the mess.
Sometimes, people's schemes were just so terrifying. For the sake of benefits, what wouldn't they do?
Furthermore, they did not know when Ximen Cheng would make their move, so they could only limit their forces to resist.
As for what would happen in the future, that was a matter for the future. Whether they could survive the current situation was still unknown.
"Ximen Cheng is indeed willing to go all out. This Poisonous Spirit Banner is the famous weapon of one of their experts. The reason why they gave it to him is so that he can use it to suppress you guys before the war starts. This way, their losses will be greatly reduced. "Xiao Yang calmly said.
It was fortunate that Zhao Yunfu was eager for quick success. Otherwise, when the time came and Ximen Cheng's army came, it would be difficult for Nangong Cheng to make a comeback.
NanGong Yu could only smile bitterly. At the same time, she was very curious whether Ximen Cheng had any evidence against them. Otherwise, why would Zhao Yunfu be so crazy?
NanGong Yu would definitely not believe that Nangong Cheng would be handed over to Zhao Yunfu. After all, Nangong Cheng was a huge city and the profits it could generate were extraordinary.
"Zhao Yunfu has a jade pendant that can be used to communicate with Ximen Cheng. The activation of the Poisonous Spirit Banner is their signal to attack." Xiao Yang took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
Sometimes, one's personality was very important. Just like Zhao Yunfu, he had ruined everything in the end.
NanGong Yu nodded. She understood this point as well. If she had not grasped Zhao Yunfu's bait, anyone with a brain would not have been fooled.
"According to the agreed time, in less than five days, Ximen Cheng's army will arrive." Xiao Yang said in a low voice.
Although there was no day or night in the Daylight Secret Realm, as long as one was a little careful, one could still accurately calculate the time.
NanGong Yu's eyebrows were tightly knitted together. It seemed that it would be very difficult to make appropriate arrangements in these five days.
If they really could not do it, then should they leave Yun Gu?
Abandoning Yun Gu was abandoning the land to save the people. If they were to defend this place to the death, they would lose both the people and the land.
Then, Xiao Yang continued to tell NanGong Yu about the situation at Ximen Cheng's side.
This time, Ximen Cheng had found two rather powerful sects from two worlds as external aid. As for what price they had paid, no one knew. However, in the end, there were only a few possibilities. Ximen Cheng would help them take root in the Bright Curse Realm.
One side was the Xuanshui Sect, the sect that Liu Shenyu belonged to.
It was rumored that their Sect Master had personally come this time as well. He was one of the best among the seventh level and his battle prowess was extremely strong.
The other side was the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Although their battle prowess was not strong, they had extraordinary attainments in the Art of Venomous Insects.
The Heart Devouring Cicada was their handiwork and the Poisonous Spirit Banner was one of their sect protection artifacts.
Since they had even taken out the Poisonous Spirit Banner, it could be seen how much the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had invested!
Hearing Xiao Yang's words, NanGong Yu's eyebrows knitted together even more tightly.
Although Zhao Yunbu knew a little more than Zhang Xuanzhi, he did not come into contact with much of the core.
After all, he was only one person who had invested. Furthermore, he had the intention of being a subordinate of Ximen Cheng. Hence, he only knew a little.
He was naturally clear about the areas that required cooperation. However, he knew very little about the rest.
NanGong Yu's face was filled with worry. What should they do if this continued?
"I wonder if Fellow Xiao is willing to discuss another deal?" NanGong Yu took a deep breath and asked solemnly.
