Chapter 237 - 237 227 Tianle City Broken (4)

Chapter 237: Chapter 227: Tianle City Broken (4) Chapter 237: Chapter 227: Tianle City Broken (4) Jiang Zhuge never expected such a sudden and aggressive attack from the outside, almost all forces were pushed forward. His biggest surprise was the outbreak of a fire down below when they were totally incapable of sparing a hand. The raging fire, spreading to over a dozen spots, quickly escalated.

Then came reports of monsters emerging from within the city. Zhi Lang Taoist Priest said, “This must be the work of Gua Zhengnie’s men”.

Faced with the raging inferno in over a dozen spots, we couldn’t sit around and do nothing. If we let it alone, it would only get worse. We had to send some men down to help. It was at that moment that Shen Tian and Shen Li launched their attack, both of them possessed high martial arts skill.

They released a variety of monsters to assault the city. At this point, the situation was chaotic and Jiang Zhuge found himself in short supply of men.

The most excited was Gua Zhengnie, killing vehemently. As soon as they began, they coordinated with the people inside the city, creating havoc by killing randomly. Within an hour, the city was in chaos. With the high martial arts skills of Shen Li and Shen Tian, it was impossible to hold them back. Fires spread across more and more places in the city, the fires getting harder and harder to extinguish, and monsters running rampant.

The situation spiraled out of control,

A student ran over and said, “We are losing control. If we go to fight the fire, those behind would come to make trouble. If we confront them, then no one would be left to fight the fire. And we are short of manpower here.”

Jiang Zhuge shouted, “Get the people inside the city to fight the fire!”

“We wanted to do that, but there are dozens of monsters wreaking havoc in the city, they dare not come out.”

Jiang Zhuge needed to deal with the imminent attack from Gua Zhengnie and Shen Tian.

The city had basically gone out of control now.

Zhi Lang Taoist Priest said: “Let’s give up.”

If they continued like this, more innocent people would die. Zhi Lang Taoist Priest began to worry.

Jiang Zhuge was also without a clue.

“We must consider the people in the city, let’s give up.”

The constant cries of war, their ruthless tactics, indeed were frightening. But then Jiang Zhuge pondered, if they truly abandoned Tianle City, they should not hold any more grudges. Those they fought were, after all, innocent people. If they did not stand down, the number of fires and deaths would most likely increase. The people in the city, besides starting fires, were now also killing randomly, and some students had already started to panic.

At this moment, they could barely hold back the attacks from Shen Tian and Shen Li.

They conceded defeat.

Gua Zhengnie was unwilling to release them easily. Jiang Zhuge fled, and Shen Tian couldn’t stop Gua Zhengnie. Gua Zhengnie pursued Jiang Zhuge’s men and moved out of the city.

Shen Tian didn’t want to destroy them, he wanted to control Tianle City, but he was too late to stop Gua Zhengnie.

Shen Li sneered and said: “You can’t stop them.”

“Let them go!” Shen Tian said, knowing Gua Zhengnie had just joined them and it was impossible for him to totally follow their orders at present.

It was the third watch of the night, Ye Chen didn’t stop. He led the disciples of the New City Sect, galloping swiftly in the direction of New City. Suddenly, a disciple ran back to report that there was a troop coming in their direction.

“Would it be the disciples from New City?”

“I’ll go and find out right now.”

It didn’t take long before the subordinate returned, saying: “Yes, they are the disciples of the New City Sect.”

“What!”

“There’s also a group chasing them from behind.”

“Quick! Go and help them!” Ye Chen led his men and ran to the scene, where he saw Jiang Zhuge.

Ye Chen was a bit confused, not knowing what had happened, he asked, “Why did you come out of Tianle City?”

“It’s a long story, just help us deal with the men behind us first.”

Gua Zhengnie was still not willing to give up, relentlessly pursuing them. Ye Chen turned around and engaged in combat, quickly driving Gua Zhengnie away within an hour.

Ye Chen ran into Jiang Zhuge again.

Can Mo asked, “Is Tianle City taken?”

“I was careless. I did not anticipate that Gua Zhengnie left a large group of people in Tianle City. When we were fighting life and death with Shen Tian, this group suddenly plunged into the melee. They let out monsters and set fires in over a dozen places. We could guard the front but not the back. I was no match for Shen Tian and was caught off-guard. We were unable to defend the city,” Jiang Zhuge said.

“We should retake Tianle City.” Can Mo wanted to take advantage of the reinforcement and reclaim Tianle City.

But by now, it was already the fourth watch and the disciples were exhausted. What they needed now was rest. What’s more, Ye Chen knew that the Zen Master with his troops was drawing near to Tianle City. They would reach Tianle City by the next day, which didn’t leave them much time. Retaking Tianle City was very difficult.

Ye Chen shook his head and said: “No way.”

“What! We have just gathered our forces, there is a possibility of retaking Tianle City,” Can Mo said.

But Ye Chen said, “True, it is certainly possible. However, it would come at a great cost. Furthermore, the Zen Master will reach Tianle City tomorrow. Even if we struggle to regain control of Tianle City, we will not be able to hold back the approaching Zen Master. We may even find ourselves being besieged. We need to stay calm right now and not act impulsively.”

“Then what should we do?” Can Mo asked.

Ye Chen replied, “Let’s return to Wasteland City first.”

“Are we just going to abandon Tianle City like this?”

Ye Chen said: “The priority is imperative. The situation is what it is now. We may or may not be able to reclaim Tianle City and it would most likely put us in a dangerous situation. If we fail to retake Tianle City before the Zen Master arrives, we could possibly find ourselves encircled.”

Can Mo said: “Jiang Zhuge, couldn’t you just hold on a little longer? You knew we were almost there.”

But Ye Chen said: “Don’t dwell on the past, let’s let the disciples rest for now. We must return to Wasteland City as soon as possible tomorrow and consult the Sect Leader.”

“Damn it, how could this happen?” Can Mo said frantically.

In fact, when they first set off, Wei Sisan had also been conflicted about whether to ally with others to resist the Zen Master. Now, it seemed, no further consideration was necessary.

“Stop talking, everyone, rest. We will discuss once we return to Wasteland City tomorrow,” Ye Chen had to make a decision.

Gua Zhengnie and his group scattered, with Gui Lang following behind him. He was incredibly displeased that they hadn’t wiped out Jiang Zhuge and his people.

Gui Lang suggested, “We should return to Tianle City.”

However, Gua Zhengnie refused, “I’m not going back.”

“What, not going back?”

“I’m not going back. I’ve spent my life not liking to serve others, why should I start now?”

“Then where do we go?”

“We could go to the Central Plains, or anywhere else. The world is so big, there’s plenty of places to go.”

“But Elder Xi Feng is still with them. They don’t even know we’re leaving.”

“Hmm, don’t tell him. We’ll just go.”

When Zen Master saw that Elder Xi Feng had decided to stay by his side and assist him, he needed such a person who knew about the matters of the Wastelands.

“Are you really not going to tell Elder Xi Feng?”

“No need. There’s no future with them. All they know is fighting for them. What’s the point? Do you want to be someone else’s executioner forever? I have no idea what’s going to happen next. I guess it’s going to be chaos. Being with them will undoubtedly lead to fighting and there’s nothing to gain. It’s better to leave now,” Gua Zhengnie stated.

Gui Lang agreed, “True. Once they start their war to unite the Wastelands, they will surely push us to the frontlines, making us the real executioners.”

“Now that you understand, we’re not that stupid.” Gua Zhengnie was upset that the Zen Master had chosen Elder Xi Feng. He also wanted to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. Joining them and then escaping, would undoubtedly not be tolerated by the Zen Master, so he didn’t dare to risk telling Elder Xi Feng.

A messenger from the Shen Li sect went to find them, but Gua Zhengnie and his four to five hundred people were already gone.

The messenger quickly reported back, “It seems that Gua Zhengnie has run away.”

Shen Tian had anticipated this knowing what kind of person Gua Zhengnie was. However, with his help, Shen Li had taken over Tianle City. This was indeed a good thing. He commented, “Let him be.”

But Shen Li queried, “Wouldn’t this be extremely detrimental to us?”

Shen Tian knew what Shen Li meant and responded, “Gua Zhengnie thinks highly of himself. He wouldn’t willingly follow us.”

“But he still has four to five hundred people.”

“Forget it, they’re his own people, and they won’t easily obey us.”

“I’m afraid that his escape will bring negative effects to us.”

Shen Tian instructed, “Issue a warrant for his arrest.” There should be some action taken. If we don’t, it somehow seems inappropriate.”

Shen Li nodded.

Shen Tian turned to his followers, “Send a message to the Zen Master via pigeon. Tell them we have taken Tianle City.”

A follower immediately went to do so.

At this moment, Yang Jing and Jue Ming walked in.

Shen Tian asked, “How is it?”

“We have largely taken control over Tianle City.”

Jue Ming asked, “Where is Gua Zhengnie?”

“He is not your average man; he has run away,” Shen Tian stated.

“He escaped?”

“Yes. Probably because he thinks there is no future with us.” He glanced at Jue Ming as he said this.

Jue Ming quickly retorted, “They are the ones who have no future.”

“Rest assured, there is definitely a future for you with us. This future is even greater than you could imagine. Our goal is not just to unite the Wastelands but everything, including the Central Plains.”

Jue Ming was a bit stunned, “Unite the Central Plains?”

“Yes, this is just the beginning.”

A follower queried, “Is it possible?”

Shen Li sneered, “It’s not just us. We’re but a small part.”

“Just a small part?”

“Yes, in time, you will believe what I have said.”

Shen Tian remarked, “Let’s get back to work quickly. Their departure shows their lack of foresight.”

Jue Ming was not sure whether Shen Tian’s words were true.

Shen Tian was able to take over Tianle City overnight, shocking the Wastelands. The most challenging hit was to the Sky Domain Sect and the New City Sect. They were the only remaining sects in the Wastelands that could withstand the power of the Zen Master and his group.

Ye Chen and his group had no choice but to retreat back to Wasteland City.

Wei Sisan had no idea that Tianle City would be taken so quickly.

Immediately, the Wastelands became tense.
