Chapter 1793 - 1796: Can’t Figure It Out

Chapter 1793: Chapter 1796: Can’t Figure It Out

Xin Lifeng arrived at the First Target City.

He really wanted to see what the so-called ten thousand Iron Cavalry were up to!

The approach of the Dragon Group was commendable, they had truly maximized their strengths.

Anyway, he felt he couldn’t do any better.

But, what was going on here?!

He distinctly remembered they set off later than the other side, so how did they end up farther along?

Did they abandon the First Target?

No way!

Logically, it shouldn’t be!

The outcome!

As soon as he entered the City Lord Mansion, Xin Lifeng was dumbfounded.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Quickly pack up!"

A Golden Core was shouting orders there.

Xin Lifeng glanced around, he seemed to have seen this guy among the ten thousand Iron Cavalry.

The City Lord of this city was a Nascent Soul!

A Golden Core ordering a Nascent Soul around?!

This guy must be mad!

He was ready to make a move!

However!

"Okay, okay! Right away!"

Xin Lifeng watched with disbelief as the Nascent Soul City Lord showed no resistance!

Just agreed like that?!

What was going on?!

Xin Lifeng was somewhat muddled!

However, he knew one thing, nothing was wrong for sure.

So, he immediately stepped forward and started asking questions.

"What’s going on? They actually left you here alone?!"

Xin Lifeng asked incredulously, "And why are you talking like that?"

"What’s the big deal?" The Golden Core shrugged and said, "Isn’t this pretty normal!"

Xin Lifeng was taken aback, "Normal?!"

"Isn’t it normal!" The Golden Core nodded, "Where is this? It’s the southwest northwest boundary of Gourd Island! These few City Lords know our strength best!"

"Previously, all those high-level forces were here, naturally, they wouldn’t choose to join us."

"But what time is it now?! They’re not stupid!"

"This..." Xin Lifeng’s lips twitched.

For a moment, he couldn’t think of a rebuttal!

What he said made complete sense!

But, but...

"Aren’t you afraid? You’re just a Golden Core!"

Xin Lifeng finally asked this question.

This was what puzzled him the most.

Yes, you’re right!

But where does your confidence come from?

If the other party has a fiery personality, they could kill you without any place to complain!

"He doesn’t dare!"

The Golden Core said resolutely.

"He doesn’t dare?"

Xin Lifeng’s lips twitched.

He really didn’t know where this guy got his courage!

A Nascent Soul wouldn’t dare kill a Golden Core?!

He thought these people were crazy!

Thus, he stopped asking the Golden Core and began asking the Nascent Soul, "Why aren’t you angry? Why haven’t you killed him?"

The Nascent Soul’s lips twitched a bit, "Senior! Please don’t joke with me, I wouldn’t dare! He’s Lord Lu’s envoy!"

"How do you know he’s an envoy? Not pretending?" Xin Lifeng was still somewhat puzzled.

"Look, pay close attention to his eyes!" The Nascent Soul swallowed, "That fanaticism is definitely not fake! I am at least a City Lord, I know what that kind of look represents!"

"He is definitely Lord Lu’s trusted aide, if I make a move, I will be left without a burial place!"

"I remember well! When the demon beasts from the Ten Thousand Mountains came out, it was some Golden Cores, not even Golden Cores, who stepped in!"

"How could I dare! Senior, please don’t joke, from today onward, we are family!"

After listening, Xin Lifeng looked thoughtfully at the eyes of the Golden Core.

He somewhat understood, loyalty can sometimes be seen!

He discovered his own shortcomings.

He stood too high!

This was a good thing, allowing him to oversee the bigger picture.

But at the same time, it made his observation and understanding of lower-level cultivators even less than that of a City Lord!

"Are you all planning this way? Convincing a city with just one person?"

Xin Lifeng looked at the Golden Core again.

"How would I know!" The Golden Core shrugged, "This place is just closer, so they dared to leave me alone, a bit further away, especially getting close to those five major cities, they definitely wouldn’t do this!"

"Indeed!" Xin Lifeng nodded, "Then, I’ll go ahead!"

His curiosity was piqued, he wanted to see how these people would conquer city by city!

Relying entirely on brains and words?

He didn’t believe it!

Very soon, he reached the second target city.

It seemed like it was specifically set up for him to admire the ten thousand Iron Cavalry’s combat style, the temperament of this city’s City Lord was explosive beyond compare!

Surely a fight would break out!

A Golden Core killing a Nascent Soul!

In Xin Lifeng’s mind, there was only one idea, grind the opponent to death!

Besides, he really couldn’t think of any way to deal with an existence one level higher.

This was still considering these were Demon Realm people!

Otherwise, grinding the opponent to death would mean using lives as fodder!

Indeed, when he arrived, the fight had already started.

Just as he imagined, taking turns in the fight!

Or rather, taking turns getting beaten!

Relying on their strong bodies, they wouldn’t die from one hit, taking turns to get bashed!

"Bang bang bang!"

The city outskirts were a cloud of dust!

Watching this monotonous and repetitive scene, Xin Lifeng’s curiosity faded once more.

He scoffed at himself with a smile—really didn’t know what he was expecting!

Wasn’t this the correct operation?

All right, ten thousand people, they’ll grind the opponent to death somehow!

Now, it’s time to go see the other troop!

His interest returned to the well-trained, order-following Dragon Group troop!

When he arrived beside the Dragon Group warriors, his eyes lit up.

He saw a completely different scenario from before.

The ten thousand-strong troop had split.

The front was taking hits, enduring, the rear was launching flying swords, and there was another troop ready to strike.

This combat style felt quite new to Xin Lifeng!

Though he saw many vomiting blood and falling down due to broken flying swords, at least it looked more orderly and pleasing than the previous troop.

Moreover, in terms of suppressing the opponent, this side was clearly more effective, tens of thousands of flying swords screaming in, the opponent couldn’t really ignore it.

What made his eyes brighten was the bald head at the front.

This bald fellow clearly had no spiritual energy fluctuations, yet he could endure several energy attacks from the Nascent Soul!

Incredible troop!

Too incredible!

Okay, his thoughts returned to the beginning—this must be Lord Lu’s real loyal troop!

You couldn’t blame him for not believing Lord Lu, the difference was too great in comparison!

One was a chaotic mess taking turns getting beaten, the other was a neat unified attack, anyone with eyes should be able to see which was better!

Anyway, he thought the current sight was better.

Or maybe, one was martial, the other was strategic?!
