Chapter 161: Chapter 103: He is a Disciple of Bai Di! _1

Qi Yuan listened to Yuan Qi’s impassioned speech for a while before saying, "I defend Jialan city, not because of any relation to Great Daxia.

Simply because I am the defender of Jialan city."

He didn’t want to owe anybody a favor without good reason.

Hearing this, Yuan Qi was somewhat puzzled for a moment.

But he soon understood.

This defender was probably the kind of person who cared for the welfare of all people.

A man not originally from Great Daxia but unwilling to see the south fall into northern hands, travelled alone to central plains, took charge of Jialan city.

Not restricted to his own family or country, he stood for all of humanity.

This was truly a great cultivator!

Yuan Qi’s respect for him deepened even more.

However, thinking of his older brother, he asked with a grave tone, "I wonder if when senior arrived at Jialan city, did he see any soldiers from Great Daxia, from the Song Battalion."

"Not long after I arrived, two ordinary soldiers from the Song Battalion came here.

They said they were ambushed on the road, the whole army was annihilated, and they were the only two who escaped with severe injuries, and in the end... they did not survive more than a few days and died here in Jialan city." Qi Yuan recalled the two men.

One was called Zhang Sheng, the other was Chen Jiao.

Two people, if they changed their names perhaps their destiny would have been different, Qi Yuan thought.

"They were buried deep within Jialan city."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi’s heart grew heavy.

He had suspected as much before he came.

Seeing the facts only made the thorn in his heart pierce deeper.

His grandfather, his father, his elder brother, three generations of his family, all died in Jialan city."

"What you’re carrying should be ’daughter’s fragrance’ wine, right?" Qi Yuan smelled a faint scent of wine.

"Yes, it is." Yuan Qi responded in a heavy tone.

He had travelled a thousand miles to get to Jialan city, just to let the soldiers taste the wine from their hometown once more, to let them know that Great Daxia hadn’t forgotten about them.

"Zhang Sheng and Chen Jiao, the wine they drank here was bad.

Since you’ve brought good wine, you should use it to pay respects to them." Qi Yuan still remembered that the ’daughter’s fragrance’ that Chen Jiao raised before he died tasted really awful.

I’m afraid only Chen Jiao and Zhang Sheng would relish it.

"I’ll present you a cup first." Yuan Qi said as he was about to take the wine off his back.

"I don’t drink." Qi Yuan said and then flew up to the city wall. He gazed at the vast desert in the distance and declared loudly, "In the future, you people of Great Daxia should stop coming to Jialan city.

I am here to guard it. As solid as a golden soup, no one can steal from my home.

If you do want to come, just bring some military flags."

Qi Yuan had no idea how many years he would have to stay here.

The more military flags, the better.

Otherwise, if he couldn’t draw in the demonic creatures, that wouldn’t be good.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi’s emotions were mixed.

He looked at the thin figure on the wall, showing great respect.

Since embarking on the road to Jialan City, he never thought about returning.

He didn’t know when the city might fall and he might die, but he had no fear.

...

In Jialan city, the defender Dong Long’s face was full of stubble and most of his hair had gone white.

Standing on the towering city wall, the flag of Great Sui was standing, fluttering in the wind.

The defender looked at Liu Wentai, surprise showing in his eyes: "He didn’t wish to come?"

The defender of Jialan city was genuinely astonished.

Great Daxia was a small country, with a national strength that didn’t even amount to a tenth of Great Sui’s.

In over a decade, Great Daxia would lose Jialan city and be absorbed by Great Sui.

Now, there was a new defender in Jialan city, and he’s a national defender at that, so Dong Long naturally harbored thoughts of gaining an alliance.

"It’s a pity." If the other party didn’t wish to come, Dong Long couldn’t force him.

One man guarding a city with no support, no supplies, would eventually become submerged amidst a growing force of demonic creatures.

He was mourning the passing of a hero.

"You may go." Since he wouldn’t come, Dong Long had no more considerations.

Now, he was assembling a large army to counterattack Misan, already at a crucial moment.

He must wipe out Misan and other demonic creature controllers.

Once this matter is settled, he could also return to Great Sui. When he left the capital, his granddaughter had just been born, this time when he returned, he feared the great-grandson he hadn’t met yet was already getting married.

...

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Down at Jialan city, Qi Yuan, sword in hand, faced an army of thousands of demonic creatures.

His eyes were fiery red as he continued his slaughter.

Powrful demonic creatures, in Qi Yuan’s hands, seemed like ridiculous weeds to be constantly reaped by his broken sword.

The experience bar was sharply rising.

The source of evil was also accumulating continuously.

Qi Yuan noticed, perhaps it was due to the source of evil, the more he killed, the more excited he became, as if he had a thirst for blood.

He was like a cold-hearted war machine, shuttling in and out amidst the demonic army. In less than an hour,

the army of thousand demonic creatures, were all exterminated by him.

"Finished work!" Like usual, Qi Yuan blew the blood off his broken sword and returned to the city wall.

The city wall was high and majestic, and since Qi Yuan took charge, no demonic creatures had been able to advance.

On the city wall, Yuan Qi watched Qi Yuan who was valiant like a god descending to earth, his eyes full of respect.

"Congratulations sir, once again repelling the enemy, defeating thousands of demonic creatures!"

"It’s minor, just unwinding a bit." Qi Yuan glanced at Yuan Qi next to him.

Yuan Qi had been in Jialan city for three years, his face much drier and gaunter than when he first arrived.

The once handsome young man had turned into a weather-beaten middle-aged man.

"Sir, there’s another piece of good news. Yesterday, Dong Long, the defender of Jialan city, besieged Misan, severely defeated the demonic army and Misan escaped with grave injuries. This place should be peaceful for a few years." Yuan Qi said eagerly.

He had immense admiration for Dong Long, the defender of Jialan city in his heart.

After all, every time Great Daxia tried to defend Jialan city, the result was always annihilation of the entire army.
