Chapter 40: The City Lord! Punish the Xie Family Severely!

  Li Wanbao felt as if his back had been scraped by a knife, and he was chilled to the bone. He looked up to see three people with murderous intentions.

  A murderous glare, reminded of his own escape, hastily lowered his head in guilt.

  Li Wanpeng was also extremely depressed at this time. In the pre-war meeting, he had said that the demon beast would break through from someone's defense area.

  If it breaks through, that family will be punished. But now the demon beast has broken through its own territory, how can it be?

  Good?

  Just as Li Wanpeng was depressed, Xu Haoran, Xiao Rugui and Wu Meng were angry, the atmosphere on the city wall became oppressive. At this time, another shrill cry for help came from outside the city. Everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked out of the city, only to see that in the sky, more than a dozen figures were flying towards them in disarray, riding swords.

  These dozen or so people were precisely the dozen or so disciples of the Wu family, who could rush out from the siege of the demon beasts. Naturally, they were all some highly cultivated individuals and not comparable to the more than a hundred people in the City Master's Mansion who were mixed in quality. Therefore, these dozen or so people flew towards Zhongdu City on their swords in a frantic manner.

  As they flew closer to the city, these dozen or so people saw their family's patriarch standing on the city wall and immediately began wailing like a wronged child seeing its mother.

  When they flew to the top of the city, their true yuan was almost completely consumed, and one by one "plop plop" fell from their mouths, falling to the ground.狼狈地从地上爬了起来，吴越三下两下地爬到了吴蒙的跟前，一把抱住吴蒙的大腿，声嘶力竭地大声哭道：

  "Big brother! We're under attack by a demonic beast! All of our family's disciples are dead, only about ten of us are left!"

  After hearing Wu Yue's wailing, Wu Meng's body swayed and his vision went black, almost fainting. He bit the tip of his tongue hard to wake himself up, and seeing his brother's miserable appearance, Wu Meng quickly picked Wu Yue up from the ground and asked urgently:

  "What exactly happened?"

  "Big brother!" Wu Yue was now tearfully crying, her eyes filled with resentment as she glared at Xu Haoran standing beside her before sobbing out:

  "Big brother, we were stationed at Luofeng Ridge and had never let a single demon beast pass through. But suddenly at noon today, a large number of demon beasts attacked us from behind, there were so many that it was endless. Almost all the disciples in our clan were killed by the demon beasts' attack, only about ten of us managed to escape."

  He glared at Xu Haoran again, and Xu Haoran was left bewildered by Wu Yue's glare. As the head of one of the four major families in the north, he couldn't believe that a minor member of the Wu family, who wasn't even the head of the family, dared to glare at him repeatedly. Xu Haoran's face darkened as he coldly waited for Wu Yue to speak.

  "What are you staring at me for? Do you want me to dig out your eyeballs?"

  The momentum of Xu Haoran's foundation period was something that a tenth-level cultivator of the Wu Yue sect could withstand, and his body shape shrunk to the ground. However, thinking of the death of his younger brother in his family, he added a bit more courage in his heart, raised his head again and stared at Xu Haoran, saying:

  "If it weren't for your family, the Xu family, failing to guard Tongyu Valley, those demonic beasts wouldn't have been able to launch a sneak attack from behind us. Your family's poor defense has caused our Wu family to lose a thousand disciples - how do you plan on settling this debt?"

  Wu Yue's words were justified and confident, because in his heart he had always believed that it was definitely the Xue family guarding Tongyu Valley who failed to hold their ground, allowing the demon beast to pass through Tongyu Valley and attack them from behind, resulting in great losses for his own family. However, he did not know that the demon beast did not come from Tongyu Valley at all, but instead came from the official road. At this time, Tongyu Valley didn't even have a single hair of the demon beast.

  So, as soon as Wu Yue's words fell, Xu Haoran's expression became very strange, and Xiao Rugui's expression was also extremely strange. Wu Meng's expression was extremely embarrassing, but Li Wanpeng's face had already turned green, with black air rushing up his forehead. However, Wu Meng did not notice these things, but instead turned to Li Wanpeng and shouted loudly:

  "Lord of the castle, before leaving the city, you said that families who lose their garrisoned lands would be severely punished. Now, not only has the Xu family lost their garrisoned land, Tongyu Valley, but also because of their failure to defend it, our Wu family has suffered severe losses! Please, Lord of the castle, take charge and severely punish the Xu family! They must compensate us for all our losses! No, just compensation is not enough, they must pay double!"

  After saying what he wanted to say, Wu Yue looked up at the city master Li Wanpeng, but suddenly found that the city master's face was iron-green, and a heavy breathing sound came from beside him. Wu Yue followed the heavy breathing sound and immediately saw Li Wanbao kneeling on the ground and more than 100 people. Wu Yue's expression was stunned, and he blurted out:

  "Wanbao brothers, were you also attacked by the demonic beasts that came from Tongyu Valley?"

  After saying this, Wu Yue was overjoyed in his heart and thought: "It seems that not only our Wu family has suffered heavy losses, but also the city master's subordinates have suffered heavy losses. This time, we must make the Xu family bleed heavily, it's good to let the Xu family accompany them to bankruptcy. In this way, we don't need to fight with the Xu family, and we can get the Xu family's thousand-year inheritance. Hmm, I'll add another fire and pull down the Xiao family as well."

  Wu Yue turned to Xiao Rugui, saying tearfully: "Xiao family master, I don't know if the disciples in your family have returned or not. They might also be killed by the demonic beasts. All of this is caused by the Xu family, we can't let them off!"

  After hearing Wu Yue's words, Xiao Ruiguang's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the fate of his family's younger generation, he couldn't calm down anymore and anxiously looked towards the sky outside the city.

  The heavens might have also sensed Xiao Ruhui's emotions, for just as he turned his head, he saw over a dozen figures flying towards him from the distance. As they drew closer, Xiao Ruhui immediately recognized them as disciples of his own family, with his younger brother Xiao Ruxing leading the way at the front. What made Xiao Ruhui's heart bleed even more was that behind Xiao Ruxing and the others, there were no other disciples from their family left, and he understood in his heart that probably only these dozen or so people remained out of the thousand-strong family.

  Everyone at this time also saw Xiao Ruxing and more than a dozen people, Wu Yue was even more tightly clenched his fists, his face flushed red, waiting for Xiao Ruxing and others to land on the city wall, he immediately took two steps forward, loudly shouting:

  "Like Star Brother, did you also suffer an attack from a demon beast coming from Tongyu Valley?"
