Not only Father Lu, but other people who also came to take refuge with those from Hongye City were confused.
Many rumors about Duan Changqing are floating in the city. No matter what rumors they were, Duan Changqing is always portrayed as a weak, beautiful ‘streetworker’1prostitute/sex slave.
How could the people of Hongye City be so respectful to a streetworker?
Is there something special about him? Or maybe Xie Yunnan is not the puppet they imagined, and actually controls the real power?
Maybe Xie Yunnan truly attaches great importance to Duan Changqing?
Only when Xie Yunnan holds real power and values Duan Changqing will Duan Changqing be respected by others.
Of course, their attention to Duan Changqing only lasted a moment, before their eyes quickly fell on Elder Bai.
Recently, Holy City has been saying that Elder Bai is dead, and that the two senior priests were arrested after Elder Bai died to injure them… But now, Elder Bai is standing upright!
Not only that, Elder Bai’s condition looks even better than when he was in Holy City before. He doesn’t look like a dying person at all!
After his son surrendered to Hongye City, Father Lu began to contact people from other families in Holy City, coercing and persuading many people to sign contracts and join the Ghost King.
Although they signed the contract, many of these people from smaller families were uneasy before today.
It was only at this moment that they felt relieved when they saw that Elder Bai was doing well.
They made the right decision to ally with the Lu family!
There are two senior priests in Hongye City, Xie Yunnan and Elder Bai, and there is only a single Second Elder in Holy City. They have a bigger chance of winning!
These people all want to talk to Elder Bai. In their opinion, no matter how strong Xie Yunnan is, he will definitely not be as powerful as Elder Bai.
However, Elder Bai’s attention was all on Duan Changqing.
Recently, Elder Bai has been staring at Duan Changqing all the time – after his little master survived, he actually got the inheritance of the first generation of High Priests, and learned a lot of things that the original High Priest understood!
Don’t say anything else, just say his body, he was dying, but his little master gave him some medicine and treated him… He thinks he can live for at least another ten years!
Elder Bai did not take these small families seriously in the past, nor did he take them seriously now.
These people were unable to speak to Elder Bai, but Xie Yunnan and the Ghost King had a chat with them.
They’re allies.
It’s just that before they could say a few words, there was movement outside – someone came.
The Second Elder will know about their coming to Holy City soon, and unsurprisingly, have come now.
The faster they fight the better.
Xie Yunnan and others were very calm.
Their journey here from Hongye City was very slow. There was no other reason – Duan Changqing wanted to find more spiritual plants.
After Duan Changqing used spiritual plants to condition his body, he prepared several beast blood baths. In a short period of time, his physical fitness improved a lot, and more of his strength was unlocked.
The two high-ranking priests who came to attack them are still in custody, and some of the people they brought were disposed of. Of course, there were others like Meng Yan who he signed a contract with.
The strength of their side has increased a lot, and with the additional people from Elder Bai on their side…
They don’t think they’ll lose at all!
Their state made the people from the small family who came to take refuge in them very excited, but Father Lu was a little worried because he had seen the Second Elder’s ability.
Father Lu said to the Ghost King: “A’qing, I met the Second Elder some time ago. His current appearance is completely different from that of the past. In addition, he obtained the treasure left by the High Priest. You must be careful!”
“He got the treasure left by the High Priest?” The Ghost King was surprised.
“Yes, he holds the High Priest’s scepter in his hand, and that scepter makes his strength comparable to that of the High Priest!” Father Lu said.
The Ghost King did not expect this to happen, and immediately looked at Elder Bai, wanting to know the answer.
Elder Bai was very annoyed to hear this. “I knew that the scepter must have fallen into his hands!”
“Elder Bai, this scepter is really so powerful that it can make him exert the strength of a High Priest?” The Ghost King asked.
“I don’t know, but since Mr. Lu said so, it should be true.” Elder Bai said.
He didn’t know exactly what happened to the scepter, but according to his years of observation, the scepter was by no means the most important thing.
The most important thing should be in the hands of his little master.
“Then what are we going to do?” The Ghost King frowned.
Elder Bai replied, “So what if he has the strength of a High Priest? Our side isn’t weak!” The High Priest is by his side!
Seeing Elder Bai so certain, the Ghost King glanced at Duan Changqing again.
So Duan Changqing’s strength is stronger than that of the High Priest?
What’s his status in the Holy Temple? Why does Elder Bai respect him so much?
The Ghost King stopped trying to understand. Right now, it’s still the most important thing for the enemy.
Every big family in Holy City owns a large piece of land, and the Lu family has a huge manor.
The manor has a wall, but the wall is useless to the Second Elder and others. They have already marched straight to the door, and were stopped by the people from Hongye City.
It was Meng Yan and others who stopped them, and the two sides were confronting each other.
There are a lot of people here in Hongye City, but everyone is dressed in ordinary clothes. It is different in Holy City where everyone is dressed in gorgeous robes and outfits.
Among the many chariots, the most conspicuous one is the car that the Second Elder sat in. The car was pulled by many colorful birds and actually flew in the air.
Duan Changqing glanced at the birds, and then looked sympathetically at the young men in uniform standing under the chariot.
Those birds pulling the chariot are the real bodies of these people.2recall, in DCQ’s Xianxia world, the real body of demons is the animal form. In the current world, the animals are thought of as companion beasts
There are twenty or thirty of these birds, and it’s clear at a glance that some of them have extraordinary bloodlines.
The Second Elder’s chariot was firmly suspended in the air as he looked down at a familiar old man. His face stiffened momentarily, and then rolled his eyes. “I didn’t expect you to be alive.”
“Of course I’m alive. I have to watch you die first!” Elder Bai said.
The Second Elder said unhurriedly, “But it’s useless even if you’re still alive… you’re going to die soon.”
“You’re about to die. Even your face doesn’t look like the living!” Elder Bai said. The Second Elder used to be quite fat, but now he is so thin that it makes people panic.
“Heh.” The Second Elder snorted softly and then replied: “As the Great Elder of the Holy Temple, you actually betrayed the High Priest and sided with a traitor… Today I want to avenge the High Priest!”
Elder Bai did not expect that the Second Elder would bring up those things, and even pour city water on him!
This man’s face is too thick! No wonder everything drooped down!
Elder Bai wanted to swear, but Duan Changqing stopped him.
Duan Changqing said: “They…seem to be filming.”
When the Second Elder came here, they even brought a filming team. It should be a live TV broadcast.
Does he think he can wipe them all out? So confident?
DCQ: Livestreaming their own death – how fitting.
