Chapter 107: Changes in Tongcheng
Starry City

Fang Chen returned here again. What puzzled him was that the pedestrians on the street became hurried, with a little panic on their faces.

"Mr. Fang!"

Just then, a clear female voice sounded behind him.

With a slight smile, Fang Chen turned his head and saw Xu Qinglian with a green veil on her face again.

"Qing Lian!"

"How is Mr. Fang these days?"

Xu Qinglian asked with a smile on her face. She was very happy to meet Fang Chen on the street.

"Well, not bad!"

Fang Chen nodded, pointed at the pedestrians who looked a little strange and asked, "What's wrong with them? Did something happen?"

"Ugh!"

Xu Qinglian sighed: "Master Fang, don't you know? Wang Wen from Qiuan County is coming! It is said that tens of thousands of troops will be able to pass through the Liuyin Mountains today!"

Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he understood instantly that the residents of the county town were not afraid of Wang Wen. He alone could not threaten Xingliu County Town. The key was Xu Mao behind him!
This was the source of the anxiety among the city residents. They were worried that the Yellow Turban Army was really going to launch a full-scale attack on Liuzhou.

"Mr. Fang, please don't go back during this period!" Xu Qinglian reminded.

"What's Xingliu Valley's reaction?"

Fang Chen did not answer her, but asked instead.

Xu Qinglian: "Well, it is said that an elder has been sent with many disciples to provide support."

Many thoughts flashed through Fang Chen's mind. This amount of time coincided with the half a month given by Old Man Li. Could it be that Wang Wen was also related to the secret of Tongcheng?
Or is it Xu Mao?
"Qing Lian, I have something important to do and I'm leaving first."

Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly became anxious. He wanted to go back to Tongcheng immediately to have a chat with Old Man Li.

"Eh……"

Xu Qinglian looked at Fang Chen's figure that disappeared in an instant, and finally let her hands drop weakly, just sighing softly.

……

Liuyin Mountains
The huge team was moving forward steadily, and every step they took would splash up countless dust. The blood and energy gathered by tens of thousands of warriors was enough to soar hundreds of feet into the sky. No matter whether they were wild beasts or strange beasts, they were all trembling and trying their best to stay away.

"Old Wang, don't you think we are being too high-profile? Brother Xu has ordered us to rest here!"

In the sky, a shirtless man frowned.

Wang Wen smiled and shook his head: "Haha, don't worry, we can't hide such a big movement from Brother Xu, but do you think he has sent anyone to stop it?"

"Huh? You mean big brother has agreed?" The shirtless man's eyes lit up and he said happily.

Wang Wen raised his eyebrows at him but did not give a direct answer.

The big man laughed: "Haha~ I understand, I understand, don't worry!"

After saying that, he also raised an eyebrow at Wang Wen: "It's really worth it for us to be brothers. You know my shortcomings and contributed to exchange for the opportunity to comprehend divine skills. You actually thought of me for such a good thing!"

"Thank you in advance!" He clasped his fists, his face full of gratitude.

"Haha, you and I are brothers, and our two families were old friends before I joined Brother Xu. How could I, your brother Wang, forget my brother?"

Wang Wen patted the big man's dark and strong arm and sighed.

"Okay, don't worry! I have already gathered all the members I have accumulated over the years. Once we arrive in Tongcheng, I will take the initiative and we will surely capture a small county!"

The big man waved his hand, his tone full of confidence.

He looked longing, and had already thought of leading his men to capture Tongcheng as a bridgehead for the Yellow Turban Army's westward advance. This would be a great achievement!
When the time comes, Brother Xu will bring more people over, and they will directly capture Xingliu County and wipe out the entire Xingliu Valley!
"Okay, okay. I'll leave it to you, brother!" Wang Wen smiled proudly.

After the big man went away, Wang Wen's eyes showed a cold look, and he snorted in his heart, "Idiot!"
"Brother, does Xu Mao really not care about us anymore?" A whisper from the void reached Wang Wen's ears.

"Tsk, I got the news that Xu Mao has gone into seclusion again, and now all military affairs are handled by Wu You. You also know that he has always disliked aristocratic families, and he is eager for us to wade into the muddy water of Liuzhou!"

Wang Wen whispered, his words full of disdain, he was just a fellow from a peasant background, but relying on his relationship with his childhood friend Xu Mao, he actually broke through the Xuan Gang realm!

He was burning with jealousy. Wu You's physique was far inferior to his, but he could keep improving thanks to Xu Mao's full support. It was said that he had given him a lot of holy medicine.

If Wang Wen had the conditions, he might have already broken through to the Zhen Qi, and now he wouldn't have to fight for a chance to break through to the Xuan Gang.

"Wu You..." Hearing these two words, the hidden voice in the void was filled with hatred.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu, there will be a day of revenge!" Wang Wen comforted him.

"Xu Mao, you forced me to do this!"

Wang Wen's eyes were filled with resentment. What a bullshit hero! Xu Mao was just a hypocrite!

He has never taken any action over the years, and has always let that dog Wu You suppress them. How hypocritical!
"After I break through the Xuan Gang realm this time and become a Zhen Qi Grandmaster in the future, why can't I become the peerless hero?"

……

Tongcheng
Inside the Santo's Mansion
Shangguan Hong and all the leaders of well-known forces in the city gathered here, gathering together in a packed room.

At the very top, an old man in a star-shaped robe was drinking tea calmly.

"Where is Li Guiyuan? Why didn't he come?" The old man put down his teacup and asked with a frown after glancing around.

After he finished speaking, there was complete silence in the hall, and no one answered.

"Bang!" The old man smashed the teacup into pieces with one palm: "Humph! What? Are my words so useless?"

"He left Tongcheng a few months ago. I don't know where he went." Shangguan Hong rolled his eyes and replied dryly.

He sneered in his heart. Originally, many forces were terrified when they heard that Wang Wen was coming with an army of tens of thousands of warriors, and they were about to flee.

But when this old guy arrived and ordered that not even a fly was allowed to leave Tongcheng, it would be strange if these guys would respond well!

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't blame me, Elder Shen. He left Tongcheng a long time ago!" said a middle-aged man with a flattering smile.

"Who are you?" Elder Shen asked with a frown.

"Your Highness, I am the head of the Zhou family in Tongcheng!" Zhou Ming said respectfully.

"Well, that's good. I'll remember you. Do your best when defending the city!"

Elder Shen nodded seriously and encouraged him, completely unaware of Zhou Ming's gradually stiffening expression.

"laugh!"

A few chuckles were heard in the hall, and Zhou Ming's face turned pale.

"Cough cough!"

Shangguan Hong coughed twice and asked: "How should we defend Tongcheng?"

"From the noise, Wang Wen alone can't muster an army of tens of thousands of warriors. I guess Cao Long is also involved!"

He turned his gaze to Elder Shen. It was not surprising to him that Xingliu Valley would defend Tongcheng to the death.

After all, it was only Wang Wen who came, and at most Cao Long. Xu Mao hadn't made any move yet, so we must not show our weakness at this time.

This old guy has the high-end combat power to stop Wang Wen and Cao Long, but the army of tens of thousands of warriors is not so easy to deal with.

An army of tens of thousands of warriors formed into a military formation, and even a mountain of Qi and Blood would not dare to resist. How could they, plus those outer disciples, defend it?

Unless Xingliu Valley sends more people over, but this is impossible. The situation over there is serious, and it was beyond Shangguan Hong's expectation that Xingliu Valley could pull this old guy out.

"Well, don't worry, I have my own trump card!"

Elder Shen smiled and said with confidence.

Shangguan Hong looked at him with suspicion. He didn't quite believe what he said. Even if there were any treasures in Xingliu Valley, they would definitely not be consumed here.

"cough~"

Elder Shen coughed unconsciously a few times, feeling uneasy when facing Shangguan Hong's gaze. What trump card did he have?

The order given to him by Gu Nei was to delay the time as much as possible. The fight over there had already begun, and support would come after it was over.

Elder Shen didn't believe this at all. If it was so easy to end, would it have dragged on until now?
Gu Nei issued another death order, and he had no choice but to trick the local families in Tongcheng.

Tongcheng must not give up so easily, otherwise if the outside world knows the truth about Xingliu Valley, it may cause a chain reaction, which would be very bad!

"Everyone, rest assured. I have already issued a Meteor Order to the entire county. Warriors from all counties are rushing to Tongcheng. Those who are close will arrive before Wang Wen. We can fight this battle!"

Hearing that he had finally revealed the truth, many people felt relieved, but most people still had frowns on their faces and looked worried.

After all, Xingliu Valley is not the Daxuan court in its heyday, so words are not that effective. It is hard to say how many people will actually come!
"Don't worry, I'm here. Go back and prepare! I promise that as long as you make great contributions in this battle, I can send a superior physique offspring from your family to the Star Flow Valley."

"For the core disciples!"

Elder Shen said loudly. When he said this, everyone was shocked, and some even got so excited that their faces turned red.

"Elder... Elder, are you serious?" a man with a flushed face asked excitedly.

"Of course, I have the final say!" Elder Shen said proudly.

"Wow!"

The scene suddenly became noisy. Some people were so excited that they clenched their fists and their veins bulged. Now no one was willing to drive them away.

Shangguan Hong looked emotional. He could understand these people's feelings. It was quite rare to get a place in Xingliu Valley as a core disciple, and they could enjoy many resources allocated to them in the valley.

Maybe their family will rise because of this and they won't have to stay in this county anymore.

But apart from their unwavering determination, is there any factor of weakness in the fact that Xingliu Valley was willing to pay such a huge price?

He couldn't help but frown, but then he smiled in his heart, who cares? What does it have to do with me?

If I can stop it, I will. If I can’t, I will run away!

Is Wang Wen’s action this time related to the secret of Tongcheng?

Shangguan Hong was full of hesitation. He actually didn't know much. It was just that some clues over the past few decades told him that there must be a secret in Tongcheng, otherwise there wouldn't be so many evildoers setting up their plans here.

Of course, he must have some guesses of his own. Otherwise, how could he have waited in Tongcheng for so many years?
Could it be that it is really for the purpose of accompanying old man Li in his old age?
"By the way, according to the rules, we should open the city gates to let ordinary people leave!"

Shangguan Hong looked at Elder Shen and reminded him, otherwise the fighting between warriors would affect a wide range of people and ordinary people would not be able to be taken care of.

“Don’t worry. I will lead people to block Liuyin Mountains and control the battle within the mountains. Ordinary people will not be affected.” Elder Shen shook his head.

Shangguan Hong was stunned, then stopped talking. Let him be. There was no city defense formation in Tongcheng anyway. The city wall had no effect in blocking the blood coagulation warriors, let alone keeping the enemy out.

However, when he looked at Elder Shen, he always felt that there was something wrong with him that could trigger his inspiration. Could it be that Xingliu Valley really gave him some trump card?
Shangguan Hong thought about it and decided to put it aside for the time being. He was not very good at investigation, and if he was discovered, it would easily cause misunderstanding in Xingliu Valley.
