"Boss, this chick has a lot of secrets!" Magic Sword narrowed his eyes and said softly as he watched the ordinary-looking woman disappear into thin air.
"Indeed!" Xiao Fan nodded as he thought about it.
"Forget it. Let's not care about her. Let's get down to business and find a place to consume the Dragon Tiger Pill!" Magic Sword said.
"Okay!" Xiao Fan retracted his gaze and replied. He then turned around and left in the opposite direction.
Soon, peace was restored in the primeval forest!
.....
Red Rock City, the Governor's Mansion!
The Governor's Mansion was particularly desolate at this time. More than half of the people in the mansion had left. Only a small number of people who were still loyal to Shangguan Chen remained in their posts.
"My Lord!" Zheng Yu knelt on one knee and said softly to Shangguan Chen in the pavilion.
"How many people have left?" Shangguan Chen looked at the black carp in the pond and asked softly without turning his head.
"Three hundred and twenty-two people. Now, there are less than five hundred City Guards under me!" Zheng Yu's voice was filled with bitterness as he said softly.
"It's good that they have left. When the Patrol arrives tomorrow, we won't have to drag so many people down with us!" Shangguan Chen said softly as if he was talking in his sleep.
"But …!" Zheng Yu wanted to say something, but he suddenly burst into tears. He choked on his sobs and could not say anything.
To Zheng Yu, Shangguan Chen was not only the elder brother he respected the most since he was young, but he was also his savior!
When Zheng Yu was eight years old, he was almost beaten to death by a domineering servant of the Sun Family because of a small matter. It was Shangguan Chen who happened to pass by and beat the servant away, saving Zheng Yu's life.
Therefore, from then on, Zheng Yu and Shangguan Chen became brothers of the opposite sex. The two of them practiced martial arts together, struggled together, and worked hard together. They wanted to enter the Water Cloud Holy Land so that they could leap over the dragon's gate and become the best of the best. They would no longer be bullied.
However, Zheng Yu's talent was not good enough. He could not enter the Watercloud Sacred Ground with Shangguan Chen. After Shangguan Chen entered the Watercloud Sacred Ground, he stayed alone in Red Rock City.
However, the two of them never stopped contacting each other. They had never forgotten their shared dream and wish to change Red Rock City.
As such, the two of them began their initial plan that lasted for more than ten years. Shangguan Chen worked hard in the Water Cloud Sacred Ground, aiming to become the City Lord of Red Rock City, while Zheng Yu worked hard in Red Rock City, entering the City Guard Army, climbing up bit by bit, aiming to become one of the three Great Commanders of the City Guard Army.
After more than ten years of hard work, the two ordinary youngsters from Red Rock City finally stood in front of the various factions of Red Rock City. They spoke to the various factions of Red Rock City as equals and stirred up the situation bit by bit. Bit by bit, they continued to advance towards the promise that they had once made.
His goal was about to be achieved, but unfortunately, the heavens did not allow him to do as he wished. His many years of hard work eventually turned into a huge bubble that burst with a loud bang and completely disappeared.
Zheng Yu was indignant. He was really indignant!
It was not only because his years of hard work had been in vain, but also because of Shangguan Chen!
He felt extremely sorry for Shangguan Chen!
The Shangguan Chen he knew had always been so high-spirited, so confident and proud, so calm and persistent. However, the Shangguan Chen in front of him was like an old man who was about to enter the ground. He was full of lethargy and lifeless.
If his heart died, everything would die!
Shangguan Chen was in pain, but Zheng Yu was in even more pain!
"How old are you? Why are you crying?" Hearing Zheng Yu's sobs, Shangguan Chen squeezed out a smile and said with a chuckle.
Zheng Yu was speechless and choked even harder.
"Alright, we haven't really entered the execution field. If the executioner puts a steel knife to our necks, we'll definitely die. As long as we don't die, there's still a chance to turn things around!" Shangguan Chen said softly.
"Oh?" Zheng Yu was stunned when he heard Shangguan Chen's words. He then looked up at Shangguan Chen with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"I've been thinking and preparing for a few days. I think I've come up with a plan!" Shangguan Chen smiled and said, "However, I need you to do this!"
"Me?" Zheng Yu was stunned.
"Yes!" Shangguan Chen nodded and said, "I've learned a secret method in the Water Cloud Sanctuary. It can forcibly transfer all my cultivation to another person. The transferred person's strength will increase greatly in a short period of time and become invincible!"
"You mean …!" Zheng Yu's pupils shrank and he said bitterly.
"I'll use this secret method to transfer all my cultivation to you. Then, you'll escape from Red Rock City when Master Tianqing is unprepared. You'll go to the Water Cloud Sanctuary and ask Holy Son Xu for help!" Shangguan Chen said softly.
"I …!" Zheng Yu wanted to object to this. However, before he could say anything, Shangguan Chen interrupted him and said, "I'm afraid this is our only way out. You're the most suitable candidate!"
"This kind of cultivation technique isn't something that can be learned in a day or two. You won't be able to learn it in time, and you won't be able to pass your cultivation to me. Even if you learn it and pass your cultivation to me, I won't be able to escape because I'm the focus of everyone. Young Master Tianqing's attention is also on me. Even if we combine our cultivation, we won't have the slightest chance of escaping from him!"
"Uncle Li is old after all. He can't bear my cultivation. If I transfer it to him by force, I'm afraid he'll explode and die on the spot!"
"The others won't work either. They're either not loyal enough or too weak to bear my cultivation. Therefore, it can only be you!"
"Master Tianqing will pay attention to you, but he won't pay too much attention to you. As long as you accept my cultivation, you'll have a sixty percent chance of breaking through Han Wenye and Wang Tianming's blockade and successfully escaping from Red Rock City!"
"Therefore, Zheng Yu, you'll have to do this!"
"As long as you can escape in time, rush to the Water Cloud Sanctuary, and find the Holy Son Xu Feiyang, we'll still have a chance of survival in Red Rock City. Do you understand?"
Zheng Yu was stunned. After listening to Shangguan Chen's persuasion, he remained silent for a long time. Finally, he stopped objecting and nodded, indicating that he agreed to Shangguan Chen's plan.
"It's good that you agree!" Shangguan Chen smiled and said, "Tonight, when the necessary arrangements are completed, I'll transfer my cultivation to you. Once I'm done, you'll have to leave Red Rock City as soon as possible because my cultivation will only stay in your body for a day. After a day, it'll completely vanish and cease to exist!"
"Also, bring Tongtong along when you leave. As long as you reach the Water Cloud Sanctuary, Tongtong will be safe. Then, it won't be too late for you to find the Holy Son Xu Feiyang to save me!"
"I understand!" Zheng Yu clenched his fists and said firmly.
"Alright, you should go back and prepare. During the process of transferring cultivation, both of you must be in peak condition mentally and physically. You can't cry like this!" Shangguan Chen smiled.
"Alright!" Zheng Yu stood up and nodded. Then, he bowed to Shangguan Chen and turned to leave quickly to prepare.
Looking at Zheng Yu's departing figure, the fake relaxed smile on Shangguan Chen's face instantly disappeared and was replaced by deep bitterness and despair.
Rather than calling this a plan, it was better to call it a scam.
This was because the Patrol Master was an authoritative figure in the Water Cloud Sanctuary. Regardless of whether it was Young Master Tianqing or Holy Son Xu Feiyang, they were still Holy Sons. Regardless of status, position, or strength, they could not compete with the Patrol Master!
Although Zheng Yu had a 60% chance of escaping from Red Rock City with Shangguan Tong and finding Holy Son Xu Feiyang under her lead, it would be useless even if he found Holy Son Xu Feiyang. This matter was beyond Holy Son Xu Feiyang's ability. Even if he wanted to, he could not do anything about it.
Shangguan Chen was very clear about this fact. Therefore, his real purpose in coming up with this plan was to save Zheng Yu and Shangguan Tong. As for himself, he was already prepared to die.
Moreover, after the transfer of cultivation was successful, Shangguan Chen would lose all his cultivation. In fact, there would not be much difference between him and death.
"After struggling for so many years and persevering for so many years, I'm really a little tired. Now, it's time to let go!" Shangguan Chen muttered to himself. Then, he slowly sat down again and looked into the distance with a smile. He gently closed his eyes.
The wind blew gently. Although it was a gentle breeze, when it blew on people's bodies, it made them feel as cold as ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years.
At the same time, in the Golden Roc Trading Firm!
"Young Master!" Han Wenye, Wang Tianming, Li Guangzheng, Sun Hai, He Wenyu, and Shen Kuang walked in together and greeted Young Master Tianqing respectfully.
"How's the persuasion on Shangguan Chen's side? Is there any movement from Shangguan Chen? " Young Master Tianqing asked faintly without raising his head as he flipped through an unknown ancient book in his hand.
"Almost all of them have been persuaded to surrender. Now, there are less than a thousand people in Shangguan Chen's hands!" Han Wenye replied. "As for Shangguan Chen himself, he has been obediently waiting in the City Lord's Mansion for the past few days. There hasn't been any unusual movement!"
"That's good!" Young Master Tianqing paused for a moment before nodding without raising his head. "Continue to watch him. Report to me immediately if there's any movement. Also, keep the entire Red Rock City under tight lockdown. I don't want to see any trouble before the Patrol arrives tomorrow!"
