The news of the appearance of a level four Celestial Master quickly spread throughout the entire Starfire City.
After receiving this news, the various large Merchant Associations and the various large families in Meteor Trail City hid as quickly as they could. The teachers and students of the academy all hid in secret underground rooms to avoid causing more harm.
This was also something that Chu Youdao had arranged beforehand. Once something happened, everyone would prioritize self-preservation.
Lu An, who was originally waiting in the meeting room, ran away alone the moment he found out that a level four Celestial Master had appeared. He did not evacuate with the rest of the academy. Instead, he went straight to where Liu Yi was.
In fact, with the appearance of a level four Celestial Master, the most dangerous person was Liu Yi. This was because the rebels were here for money, and Liu Yi was definitely their primary target.
In the past few days, Liu Yi had already told Lu An where she was hiding. Although it was very hidden, Lu An was still worried. Therefore, he rushed to Liu Yi's hiding place as fast as he could.
This was a place where commoners lived. In an extremely ordinary courtyard, there was a well under a big tree in the backyard. There was water in the well, but it was man-made water. What was truly below was a huge secret room.
According to Liu Yi, Lu An jumped down from the well. Sure enough, after jumping in, the water looked like a pool from the outside. As he walked in, he passed through a passage and arrived at a very large underground palace. At this moment, Liu Yi was sitting inside, and there was no one beside her.
When Lu An appeared, Liu Yi immediately noticed him. She stood up in shock and said, "Lu An? Why are you here? "
Seeing Liu Yi coming over to greet him, Lu An heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine. Sure enough, after the appearance of a level four Celestial Master, Liu Yi immediately received the news and said, "It's fine, I'm worried about you being alone. Are you the only one who knows about this secret room? "
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded affirmatively and said, "I made this secret room a long time ago, and everything was done by me. I didn't use anyone."
Hearing this, Lu An nodded in relief.
Looking at the huge space, whether it was food or water, Liu Yi could live here for a month without any problems. In such a long time, no matter what, the people of Midnight Pavilion would have chased the rebels away.
"I heard that the City Lord personally went to the battlefield to investigate. How is he? Is there any news about him?" Liu Yi thought for a moment and asked.
"No." Lu An shook his head slightly and asked with furrowed brows, "The informant only said that there was a Level 4 Celestial Master and didn't say anything else. However, I'm afraid that the City Lord's situation bodes ill rather than well. It will be too difficult for him to escape. "
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi frowned even more. She also thought of this point and said, "If the rebels really came for money, then their first target would be the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, and their second target would be the City Lord's Mansion. After all, the City Lord's Mansion is also an extremely rich place, so they wouldn't let it go. "
Hearing this, Lu An nodded and said, "With the City Lord's intelligence, he should have thought of this long ago. The City Lord's Mansion should also be able to get first-hand news, and the people inside should be able to protect themselves. "
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi nodded slightly.
"No matter what, protect yourself first." Lu An looked at Liu Yi and said, "The rebels have appeared, and I don't know how long it will take for the people of Midnight Pavilion to arrive. As for how much damage the Chamber of Commerce will suffer, you don't have to think about it. "

In Meteor Trail City, when Chu Youdao and Du Chen died, it meant that they no longer had any ability to defend themselves.
Tong Sheng and another Level 3 Heavenly Master successfully escaped, and they ran far away from Meteor Trail City. As for the other people of Midnight Pavilion, about half of them died, while the other half fled in all directions, looking for a place to hide in Meteor Trail City.
After losing all resistance, the rebels marched straight in, and in less than half a day, they took over every corner of Meteor Trail City. After taking over, they began to do what they were best at – burning, killing, and looting.
Their target was very clear, and the first place they went to was the shops. The shops of the large Chamber of Commerce were naturally the most important, especially the Central Commercial Street.
The Level 4 Heavenly Master was called Ren Tao, and he came to the Central Commercial Street with the other rebels. He brought his men and directly charged into the headquarters of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. They had heard of the name of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce in other cities, and such a huge Chamber of Commerce would definitely not disappoint them.
In fact, when they charged into the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, they found that there was no one inside. The rebels rushed up to the fourth floor and began to search every room. Indeed, the things inside were all valuable, but there was not a single thing that was priceless, causing them to be greatly disappointed.
Even Ren Tao was stunned when he saw the items that were found. Could it be that the people here already knew that he was going to rob them, so they moved the important assets away?
After searching for a long time, none of the items that passed by Ren Tao's eyes could make him feel excited. As time passed, his eyebrows grew closer and closer. He turned around and walked out of the headquarters of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce.
This little thing was not worth him spending so much effort to attack Meteor Trail City.
Thinking of this, Ren Tao turned his head to look at the densely packed rebels outside and ordered loudly, "Leave half of you to search the entire Central Commercial Street. The rest of you, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Yes sir!" The rebels shouted in unison.
Immediately, Ren Tao led the rebels straight to the City Lord's Mansion. On the wide street, people had already disappeared without a trace, and no one dared to stop them. From the Central Commercial Street to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the luxurious and majestic City Lord's Mansion, Ren Tao sneered and led his men straight in!
At this moment, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion had already been evacuated, and there was not a single person inside. The rebels searched everywhere in the City Lord's Mansion. This place, which used to be the most dignified place, was now experiencing the cruelest baptism.
Indeed, the City Lord's Mansion did not disappoint Ren Tao. As his subordinates took out the items that they had found, there were a few that were priceless. Seeing these items, Ren Tao's expression finally looked better.
However, this was only the City Lord's Mansion after all, and the greatest wealth was in the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. Ren Tao could not be satisfied with this. Furthermore, the two level four Heavenly Masters from Midnight Pavilion were in Skylight City and Yueyu City respectively, and they were being held back. It would take at least three days to reach Meteor Trail City.
Three days was enough for him to squeeze out all the assets in Meteor Trail City!
Thinking of this, Ren Tao's lips curled into a cold smile. He had ten thousand ways to deal with such matters. Not only did he want to squeeze out all the assets of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, but he also wanted the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce to take the initiative to hand over the money.
It was not only Ren Tao, but the rebels were also very experienced in searching. After all, from Tiancheng Nation to here, the number of cities that the rebels who had survived until now could be counted on one hand. One by one, the treasures were quickly taken out and transported out in carts.
As for those that could not be taken away, or those that were too big, they were simply smashed or burned. The entire Meteor Trail City was like this, so not long after, thick smoke rose from all over Meteor Trail City, and the entire city was in trouble.
Ren Tao sat in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, overlooking the movements of his subordinates like a City Lord. After a while, a level three Heavenly Master quickly walked into the main hall and said to Ren Tao, "Boss, one of the two level three Heavenly Masters you killed earlier was the City Lord!"
Ren Tao was in a good mood when he heard this and said, "Continue."
The level three Heavenly Master immediately nodded and continued, "Just now, I caught his only daughter!"
Hearing the words of the level three Heavenly Master, Ren Tao's eyes lit up! He suddenly stood up and laughed loudly at the level three Heavenly Master, "Good! Bring her up! "
"Yes!" The Heavenly Master immediately replied and turned around to give the order. Not long after, two people walked in with a woman who was tied up.
Who else could this seventeen-year-old girl be but Chu Ling?
At this moment, Chu Ling's beautiful face was devoid of blood and as pale as a sheet of paper. Furthermore, her face was full of tears and her eyes were red. Just a moment ago, she, who was hiding in the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, was captured and killed. All the guards were killed, leaving her alone.
Looking at Chu Ling's appearance, Ren Tao laughed loudly and said to his subordinate, "Well done! Do it according to the old method! "
