Inside the Governor's Mansion.
Ju Dongyi felt inexplicably irritated, as if something bad was about to happen.
Usually at this time.
He should have gone to bed by now.
But now.
He didn't feel sleepy at all.
The bedroom door opened. Ju Dongyi looked at the empty courtyard in front of him and suddenly shouted, "Men!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Immediately, an old butler came forward, bowed and asked, "May I know what orders the Governor has?"
"Did anything happen in Taishan City?"
"Everything is normal in the city."
"Normal?" Ju Dongyi frowned, then waved his hand and said, "I got it. You may leave."
"Yes!"
Looking at the back of the old butler.
After receiving the news that everything was normal in Taishan City, his irritation didn't lessen at all.
At his level of cultivation.
Ju Dongyi believed that there must be a reason for his current situation.
"There's nothing abnormal in the city. Is there something happening outside the city?"
Suddenly, Ju Dongyi seemed to have thought of something in his mind. He froze on the spot.
Something happening outside the city!
What could be happening outside the city?
Although Taishan City was an ordinary medium-sized city, it had become the frontline against the rebels because of Marquis Qianshan's rebellion.
In other words —
"Gu Changqing!"
Ju Dongyi was shocked when he thought of this name.
Although he didn't think that Marquis Qianshan, who had been holed up, would do anything at this time.
But his years of experience told him that.
Something must have happened if he was on a whim.
And —
In the past few days, although Taishan City had been in conflict with Marquis Qianshan, Ju Dongyi seemed to have noticed that something was wrong.
It was too deliberate.
At this time.
He instinctively looked up at the sky. It was already dark.
A sentence appeared in his mind.
The night to kill in the dark.
The wind was strong and the fire was burning.
"Men!" At this time, Ju Dongyi couldn't stay calm anymore. He suddenly shouted.
"Sir!" The old butler came forward again.
"Immediately summon the generals who are resting in the city. I want to see them in half an hour!"
"Yes."
And at this time.
A huge shield rose up above the city, followed by flames that soared into the sky. Several terrifying auras erupted one after another.
As for the old housekeeper who had not completely left, his body suddenly paused. Soon after, his head separated from his body and a pillar of blood spurted out from his wound.
"You're courting death!"
If Ju Dongyi still did not know what the problem was, then he would not be fit to be the City Lord of Taishan City.
His storage ring flickered.
A ferocious saber had already appeared in his hand. He slashed at the void beside him, and a terrifying saber aura blasted out in an instant, causing the void to tremble violently.
Boom!
A greenish-black shield appeared out of thin air and collided with the energy saber.
Then, the shield shattered.
A masked man in black retreated in the air.
Meanwhile.
The void on his left, right, and back trembled as terrifying attacks erupted in an instant.
Ju Dongyi was obviously prepared for this. After his broadsword missed its target, he immediately drew it back to defend. Then, he swept it out. The broadsword light was like a silver moon, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.
Boom!!
The attack was shattered.
The three masked men in black stepped back.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Ju Dongyi looked at the four men in black surrounding him and felt a chill in his heart.
He did not need to guess.
He knew that these people were definitely Marquis Qianshan's men.
Or else …
No force could send out four great cultivators in the God Martial Arts Realm at once.
Plus, the chaos in the city now.
It was also a clear indication of who the culprit was.
At this moment.
The commotion in the City Lord's Mansion had attracted the attention of other experts in the mansion.
When they arrived.
They saw Ju Dongyi fighting with the four men. A terrifying explosion of power had already shattered everything around them.
"My Lord!"
"They're Gu Changqing's men. Kill them!" Ju Dongyi shouted coldly. The broadsword in his hand shone like the cold light of a starry night. A powerful force covered all four men in black.
Hearing this.
The others did not dare to hesitate and attacked one after another.
Taishan City was located in a large region.
Those who could be guards in the City Lord's Mansion were not weak at all.
Even great cultivators in the God Martial Arts Realm.
There were no less than five of them.
Once the five joined the battle, Ju Dongyi's pressure was greatly reduced. He abandoned the other three opponents and attacked one of them with all his strength.
They were all in the God Martial Arts Realm.
There was a huge gap between them.
Although the four men in black were in the God Martial Arts Realm, they had just entered the God Martial Arts Realm. Ju Dongyi's strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level since he was the City Lord of Taishan City.
Once he attacked.
His aura was like a rainbow.
Although he had not fought much as the City Lord for many years, the killing intent accumulated in the battlefield had always been there.
At this moment, it exploded.
In an instant, it was an earth-shattering power.
Facing Ju Dongyi's attack, the man in black retreated step by step. He did not dare to fight head-on at all.
However, he retreated very quickly.
Ju Dongyi's broadsword was even faster.
In the end, he had no choice but to face it head-on.
Bang!
After more than twenty consecutive slashes, the black-clothed man was finally unable to withstand such a terrifying power and was directly sent flying. Immediately after, Ju Dongyi stepped into the air and slashed down with his broadsword with the power to split mountains and split the earth.
Boom!
The energy blade slashed out, and the man in black's body was instantly cut in two.
The moment the man in black died.
A person rushed out of the corpse and fled toward the distant sky.
"Your body is already dead. How dare a mere Spirit God escape!" Ju Dongyi's eyes were cold. His body shot out like an arrow from a bow. In the next instant, he caught up from behind and slashed at the fleeing Spirit God.
In the end.
The Spirit God was shattered. A God Martial Arts Realm cultivator had completely fallen.
After killing the man in black with a single slash, Ju Dongyi did not return to the City Lord's mansion. Instead, he rose into the air. When he reached a certain height, the entire Taishan City was reflected in his eyes.
In his line of sight.
There were more than a dozen flames surging in the city.
Many soldiers of Taishan City were fighting with others in the city. The common people closed their doors and did not go out for fear of being affected.
As for the army outside the city, it was charging at the city walls on all sides.
It was precisely because of this.
Only then would the defensive formation in the city be triggered.
Boom!
A huge Spirit God that was seven hundred feet tall appeared in the air. In an instant, it dispersed the dark clouds and revealed the bright moonlight.
"It's the City Lord!"
"The City Lord is here. Brothers, follow me and kill!"
When the people of Taishan City saw the Spirit God, they were relieved. When they saw the pitch-black figure standing under the Spirit God, many people clearly saw the other party's specific appearance.
"I am Ju Dongyi, the City Lord of Taishan City. The common people in the city need not panic. The City Guards will immediately kill all the intruders. In addition, as the City Lord, I order the aristocratic families and various forces in the city to cooperate with the City Guards to kill the intruders.
Anyone who disobeys will have their three clans wiped out! "
Boom!
As soon as the words came out, the strong people in the city immediately responded.
"The Huang family obeys!"
"The Zhao family obeys!"
"The Wansheng Faction obeys!"
"The Tianyi Pavilion obeys!"
"The Lin family obeys!"
These forces that had spoken out in response all held important positions in Taishan City.
They had long been firmly tied to Taishan City.
If Taishan City was gone.
They would definitely not have it easy.
Of course.
In addition to this reason, the other reason was Ju Dongyi's words.
These forces did not think that this was a bluff.
If the imperial court really looked into it.
They would only have a dead end.
Although the imperial court and the world of cultivators did not interfere with each other, that was because things were not that serious yet. At a critical moment like this where the city was destroyed and people were killed, the imperial court would definitely not give them too much face.
Just when all the strong people in the city came out and cooperated with the City Guards to attack the intruders.
The four city walls were also under fierce attacks.
Many strong people took to the air and directly bombarded the protective shield of the city walls with terrifying attacks.
Terrifying and dense attacks bombarded the shield one after another.
The shield of the city shook violently, but it still did not break.
Seeing this.
Ju Dongyi was also relieved.
As long as the shield was not broken, the strong people above the Airborne Realm would not have a chance to cross the city walls and directly enter the city.
As for the four city walls.
At this moment, all of the 200,000 troops stationed in Taishan City had been mobilized. The defense of Taishan City was airtight, enough to resist the enemy's attack.
Furthermore …
Ju Dongyi believed that the other forces must have received the news of the rebels' attack with such momentum. It would not be long before reinforcements arrived.
With the forces that the imperial court had accumulated in Thousand Mountains Prefecture, even if the rebels attacked with all of their forces, they would have nothing to fear.
However …
At this moment, Ju Dongyi's only concern was …
Taishan City was not the only place under attack. The other cities should have been attacked as well. If the rebels had any backup plans, it was possible that they would suffer heavy losses.
Immediately …
The huge Spirit God in the sky disappeared. Ju Dongyi flew toward one of the city walls. Two seals appeared on the broadsword in his hand. Before his feet even set foot on the city wall, he had already slashed out with a terrifying blade.
Boom …
The aura of the blade, which was dozens of feet long, directly cleared out more than half of the enemy who were trying to climb the city wall. The remaining force extended to the back.
Seeing this scene …
The morale of the defenders on the city wall was immediately boosted.
"The City Lord is invincible. He will definitely kill the enemy!"
"The City Lord is here. The enemy will lose for sure!"
At this moment, several generals who were maintaining order on the city wall were shouting loudly to boost the morale of the people.
At the same time …
A deputy general came in front of Ju Dongyi and said in a deep voice, "Sir, the enemy is now aggressive. Looking at their clothes, there is no doubt that they are rebels. What should we do next?"
"Stay in the city and don't come out. Don't ask for credit at the moment, just don't make any mistakes. It won't be long before these rebels can't take Taishan City, and they will retreat." Ju Dongyi looked at the dense army in front of him with a calm expression.
