In order to not give Guan Yiwei a chance to rush over, Xiao Lingyu patiently followed the Qi Family through more than ten streets. After nearly an hour, he suddenly attacked at a crossroad.
Xiao Lingyu's sudden attack immediately caused chaos among the crowd at the crossroad.
The cultivators in the crowd did not know where the sudden change came from, so they could only run and shout in all directions. They did not have a unified direction and naturally collided with each other.
Xiao Lingyu leaped into the air, passed through the crowd, and directly attacked the Qi Family.
The Qi Family's Divine Monarchs were also frightened. They knew that Qi Hongxuan was very strong and they also knew that the enemy they were facing now had killed Qi Hongxuan in the Qi Family's courtyard not long ago. Therefore, they subconsciously thought that Xiao Lingyu was a Divine King expert.
The terrified Qi Family's Divine Monarchs quickly grouped together to defend against the enemy. Their attention was completely diverted from Xiong Meng and the other three to their own safety.
Xiao Lingyu's sudden attack was not to kill the Qi Family's Divine Monarchs, but to create chaos and divert the attention of the Qi Family's experts. He had already achieved his goal when he suddenly attacked.
After landing, Xiao Lingyu launched an attack at the Qi Family's Divine Monarchs. However, the Divine Monarchs grouped together and were barely able to block him.
The city guards reacted quickly. In a few breaths' time, they came from all directions and sealed off the crossroad.
Guan Yiyuan and Guan Yishan brought Xiong Meng and the others to the front of the encirclement of the city guards. They said to a city guard who seemed to be the leader, "These four are important criminals. With the chaos here, we have to evacuate them first to prevent them from falling into the hands of the strong!"
The city guard leader recognized Guan Yiyuan and Guan Yishan. He also knew about the recent incident between the Guan Family and the Qi Family. Therefore, he decisively let them go. If something happened to these four important criminals in their encirclement, he would not be able to bear the responsibility of the City Lord and the Qi Family.
In order to buy time for Guan Yiyuan and company to escape the city, as well as buy time for the Wildfire mercenaries to leave the city, Xiao Lingyu couldn't leave now. He still had to deal with the Qi Family's Divine Lord and the city guards for a while.
However, Xiao Lingyu knew that it wouldn't take long for the Qi Family's Divine King Stage experts to arrive. Even the Divine King Stage experts from the City Lord's Mansion would arrive soon. He couldn't stay in the City Lord's Mansion for too long. Therefore, he decided to fly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Just as Xiao Lingyu had expected, he had just fought with the Qi Clan's expert for less than ten minutes when two figures flew over from the city.
Xiao Lingyu did not hesitate at all. She immediately entered the tubular saint artifact that she had prepared beforehand and drove it out of the city.
This time, Xiao Lingyu did not drive the tubular saint artifact to its maximum speed. Instead, he maintained the same speed as the two Divine Kings. This way, they wouldn't catch up to him, but they wouldn't lose him either. This was to attract their attention.
In the blink of an eye, the tubular saint artifact flew out of the city with Xiao Lingyu. The two Godkings chased after them relentlessly.
Now that the Divine Kings had been dispatched and the troublemakers had escaped the city, the city gradually regained its peace.
Perhaps they knew that the City Lord's Mansion had no use against Xiao Lingyu, so they did not seal off the streets or the city gates. Whether it was the Guan Family, the Qi Family, or the City Lord's Mansion, they were more concerned about whether the two Divine Kings could capture Xiao Lingyu. Naturally, they ignored Xiong Meng and the other three.
The reason why the Qi Family wanted Xiong Meng and the other three was to use them to threaten Xiao Lingyu. Now that Xiao Lingyu had appeared, there was no need for them to care about Xiong Meng and the other three.
After dragging the two Divine Kings along for two days, Xiao Lingyu finally received news that Wildfire, Xiong Meng, and the other three had already left the city.
Xiao Lingyu sent a message to Guan Yiyuan and the others, telling them to split up and hide in the Floating Cataclysm Mountains.
If everyone gathered together, they would be easily found. The Guan Family would definitely be on high alert. After all, Wildfire had left the city en masse and did not inform the Guan Family of the situation.
If not for the fact that Wildfire's three leaders were from the Guan Family, Wildfire would not have been able to leave the city so easily under the Guan Family's watch.
Since the Guan Family had agreed to hand over Xiong Meng and the others, there was no need for Xiao Lingyu to consider anything for the Guan Family. When he joined the Guan Family, it was for Wildfire. Even if he decided to leave the city, Xiao Lingyu still had to complete his objective first.
Now that his mission was complete, Xiao Lingyu immediately sped up with the tubular saint artifact. In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he had left the two Divine Kings in the dust.
Xiao Lingyu found a random place to hide in the Floating Cataclysm Mountains, then sent a message to Guan Yiyuan and the others.
Before long, Guan Yiyuan, his brothers, Zou Gen, and Xiong Meng arrived at Xiao Lingyu's hiding place.
Zou Gen was currently under the control of Guan Yiyuan and the others. Zou Gen naturally had no idea what was going on.
Miss Jing was not in front of him, and Xiao Lingyu did not have any secret techniques to control people. He felt that Zou Gen was a good person, so he told him some things that were not too confidential. Then, he let Zou Gen choose whether to stay or leave.
After some hesitation, Zou Gen chose to stay in the Wildfire. He also took the initiative to swear that he would not betray Xiao Lingyu.
Zou Gen chose to stay because he was worried that he would be killed if he chose to leave. Although he was a straightforward person, a straightforward person would not give up his life in vain.
After everyone gathered together to discuss for a while, Xiao Lingyu told them to disperse and not cause any trouble.
However, a few days later, Guan Yiyuan sent a message saying that the Guan Family, the Qi Family, and the City Lord's Manor had sent out a large number of experts to search the Floating Cataclysm Mountains. After all, there were thousands of people in the Wildfire. It was impossible for everyone to hide well. It was inevitable that some people would be found.
If they did not take the next step, the cultivators in the Wildfire would not be able to hide for long. They would be found one by one.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was thinking of a countermeasure, he suddenly sensed movement outside the cave he was hiding in. He quietly went out of the cave to check the situation.
At this moment, there was a sizable group of people moving from the depths of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains.
Xiao Lingyu carefully looked at their armor and realized that it was the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop. However, the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop that was originally neat and orderly was now in a sorry state. Not only were they covered in dirt, but their armor was also in tatters. Many of the mercenaries had obvious wounds on their bodies.
It was obvious that the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop had just suffered heavy losses. They had probably encountered an accident during their mission.
Xiao Lingyu remembered that the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop had God King experts. Since there was a God King, how did they end up in such a sorry state?
Although he was curious, Xiao Lingyu did not go forward to ask. For safety's sake, he even stayed far away.
Looking at the defeated Tianchi Iron Armor Troop, Xiao Lingyu suddenly had an idea. He then flew above the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop.
A moment later, a cultivator who was also wearing a broken iron armor flew over.
This person looked like an old man in his fifties. His face was pale, and there were wounds on his body. However, his aura was still quite stable.
Xiao Lingyu could sense that this person was very strong. He could not see through this person's strength, but it was enough to know that this person was a God King expert.
"Who are you?" The person asked with narrowed eyes.
"I am Xiao Lingyu. I presume that you are the leader of the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop?" Xiao Lingyu asked politely.
"That's right." The person nodded, but his expression was very cautious.
"I have something to discuss with you, leader. I wonder if you are willing to listen to me?" Xiao Lingyu continued.
The person frowned slightly. He pondered for a while and said, "Please follow me."
Xiao Lingyu followed the person and flew away from the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop. They stopped at the top of a small mountain. The leader said, "What do you want to say? Let's talk here."
Xiao Lingyu did not beat around the bush. He asked directly, "Do you know about the Guan family's Wildfire?"
The leader nodded and said, "I do."
Xiao Lingyu continued, "If I were to merge Wildfire into your Tianchi Iron Armor Troop, would you dare to accept?"
The leader was a little surprised and doubtful. He asked, "You can make the decision?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said with certainty, "I can make the decision. Now that Wildfire has left the Guan family, the other leaders also obey me."
The leader was still very doubtful. "I remember that Wildfire has three Guan family's God Monarch experts. They also obey you and have broken off their relationship with the Guan family?"
"That's right!" Xiao Lingyu replied.
"Haha, don't try to fool this old man. Do you think that I will believe such nonsense?" The leader laughed and shook his head.
Xiao Lingyu said, "There are many things to do here. You can send someone back to Duhu City to inquire about it. After that, I will summon the managers of Wildfire. I believe that you will not have any more doubts."
"As long as you can prove that you are not lying, I will dare to accept Wildfire!" The leader said straightforwardly.
In the next few days, Xiao Lingyu summoned Guan Yiyuan and the others to meet with the leader of the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop. The Tianchi Iron Armor Troop had its own camp in the city. There would definitely be people in the camp who could pass on useful information to the leader.
In order to make the leader believe him, Xiao Lingyu even told him about how Guan Yiyuan and his brothers had been brainwashed and had their memories reconstructed.
To the Tianchi Iron Armor Troop, which had just suffered heavy losses, it would naturally be a great thing if they could absorb Wildfire. However, this would definitely offend the Guan family and possibly the Qi family.
