Chapter 233: Chapter One Hundred Eighty-Two: The Chips_3

He suddenly felt somewhat relieved that he had agreed to Yuan Hao’s proposal to attack the city first.

Because he really couldn’t think of how the high-ranking members of the Sect, with knives to their throats, still carried an attitude that suggested, "You wouldn’t dare kill me."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan turned back to glance at Xu Xinyao behind him.

Xu Xinyao’s eyes were complex, but she remained cool and did not speak.

As he inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, Xu Yuan reached for the crystal object on the tea table.

The Sect Master and the Great Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect were watching in silence, seemingly certain that Xu Yuan wouldn’t dare to crush it.

After all, if he intended to attack, why bother inviting them to negotiate in the first place?

If the Myriad Manifestation Sect really fell, the remains of their property would not be split just by the Prime Minister’s Mansion alone.

With the destruction of the Sect’s gates, the Myriad Manifestation Sect’s power structure would cause various businesses and shops to quickly find new affiliations.

Simply put,

The other powers in Xize State would swoop in like vultures and pick clean whatever they could.

Unless the Prime Minister’s Mansion annihilated Xize State entirely, they could only consume the leftovers, alongside the inventory from the Sect’s warehouse.

Under the gaze of the two elders, the solid crystal began to warp as Xu Yuan applied pressure, and then it exploded with a "bang."

And with that, the second phase of the annihilation plan began.

Above the city gate,

Feeling the special wave of Origin Qi coming from the military-grade Sumeru Ring, Yuan Hao’s whole body trembled with excitement.

What did this signify?

It meant going from taking the East City to conquering the entire city.

And what did conquering the entire city signify?

It meant that the Sect disciples would use the complicated streets within the city and the Protective City Formation to entangle with their forces.

In other words,

The civilians would become their shields.

Although the order was to avoid disturbing the civilians as much as possible, since they were to serve as shields, he was authorized to show no mercy.

Not to kill would mean not letting his own soldiers die out of moral considerations, wouldn’t it?

Humming a tune, standing atop the city wall, Yuan Hao casually took out a new crystal from the Sumeru Ring and crushed it without hesitation.

This signified the start of the second wave of air raids by the flying Demonic Beasts.

After all, the city streets were not conducive for military formations to make a clear cut, and the Protective City Formation was still a serious threat to the military formations. Unless absolutely necessary, the Protective City Formation had to be disabled first.

Having done all this, Yuan Hao began to pace restlessly on the city wall in his boots.

Because the thirty thousand reinforcements of the Black Scale Army had yet to enter the city and regroup, the ten thousand Black Scale Army currently inside were not enough to control the entirety of Wanxiang City.

This was something he couldn’t rush.

...

...

...

Within the Xuanying Attic, both elders had an incredulous look in their eyes.

You ask for the moon, and I bargain down to earth; isn’t that the understanding?

But after seeing this scene,

Xu Yuan said with a smile,

"Sect Master, Great Elder, I forgot to mention, the second and third phases are connected."

The knives at their throats began to press down, and blood gradually seeped from the neck of the Myriad Manifestation Sect.

But the Great Elder still insisted,

"Young Master, you have no proof?"

Xu Yuan grinned,

"Great Elder, I suggest you first handle the materials for setting up the Soul-Attracting Formation before you say that. And surely, you don’t really think your accounts are clean, do you?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder’s fists tightened slightly.

These two points were their Achilles’ heel.

The accounting could be managed; they had been prepared for that. But the massive amounts of Formation materials could not be dealt with in such a short time.

After a brief silence, the Great Elder quickly whispered,

"Ninety million is too much."

Xu Yuan laughed,

"It doesn’t matter. The Black Scale Army has already started moving. Don’t say you can’t pay; if there’s no cash, use assets to settle the debt."

With that,

Xu Yuan leisurely handed a densely written document to the Sect Master of the Myriad Manifestation Sect,

"The Black Scale Army will take a while to completely enter the city,"

"Now,"

"You have about half an hour to consider your options."
