Chapter 103: He Is a Disciple of the White Emperor!

Qi Yuan listened to Yuan Qi's impassioned speech for a long time before saying, "My guarding of Wu Gui City has nothing to do with Great Xia.

I guard it simply because I am its guardian."

He didn't want to owe anyone a favor without reason.

Hearing this, Yuan Qi was initially confused.

However, he quickly understood.

This guardian must be someone who cares deeply for all living beings.

He wasn't from Great Xia, but he didn't want to see the southern land fall to the north, so he came to Wu Gui City alone to guard it.

He wasn't confined to a small country, but cared for the world.

This is a true great cultivator!

Yuan Qi's admiration grew.

However, he thought of his brother and eventually asked in a somber tone, "Did you see any soldiers from the Song Camp when you arrived at Wu Gui City?"

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

They said they were ambushed on the way, and the entire army was wiped out. Only they escaped with serious injuries, but they didn't last long and died in Wu Gui City," Qi Yuan recalled the two men.

One was Zhang Sheng, the other Chen Jiao.

If they had changed their names, perhaps their fate would have been different, Qi Yuan thought.

"They are buried deep within Wu Gui City."

Yuan Qi felt a heavy heart.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

He had suspected as much before coming.

Seeing the truth only deepened his pain.

His grandfather, father, and eldest brother, three generations, all died in Wu Gui City.

"The box on your back contains wine, right?" Qi Yuan smelled the faint scent of wine.

"Yes." Yuan Qi answered solemnly.

He had traveled a long way to Wu Gui City to let the soldiers there taste the wine from their homeland, to show that Great Xia had not forgotten them.

"Zhang Sheng and Chen Jiao drank bad wine when they arrived.

Since you brought good wine, you can use it to pay tribute to them." Qi Yuan still remembered the terrible taste of the wine Chen Jiao raised before he died.

Probably only Chen Jiao and Zhang Sheng enjoyed it.

"I'll first offer a cup to you." Yuan Qi said, trying to take the wine from his back.

"I don't drink." Qi Yuan said, flying up to the city wall. He looked out at the vast desert and said loudly, "In the future, the people of Great Xia should stop coming to Wu Gui City.

I guard this place, and it is impregnable. No one can steal from my home.

If you must come, just bring some military flags."

Qi Yuan didn't know how many years he would guard this place.

More flags would always be better.

Otherwise, it wouldn't attract demons, which would be bad.

Yuan Qi felt mixed emotions.

He looked at the thin figure on the city wall and bowed solemnly.

On his way to Wu Gui City, he had not thought about returning.

He didn't know when the city would fall, but he wasn't afraid.

...

In Galan City, the guardian Dong Long had a full beard and mostly white hair.

He stood on the towering city wall, with the Dazui flag flying in the wind.

The guardian looked at Liu Wentai with surprise: "He doesn't want to come?"

Dong Long was indeed surprised.

Great Xia was a small country, not even a tenth the strength of Dazui.

In a little over ten years, Great Xia would lose Wu Gui City and be absorbed into Dazui.

Now, Wu Gui City had a new guardian, a state guardian at that, so Dong Long naturally wanted to recruit him.

"It's a pity." The other party's refusal meant Dong Long couldn't force it.

Guarding a city alone without support or supplies, one day, he would be overwhelmed by the ever-growing demon army.

Dong Long lamented the loss of a hero.

"Dismissed." Since he wouldn't come, Dong Long wouldn't think about it further.

He was at a crucial moment in organizing an army to counterattack Misan.

He had to kill Misan and other demon controllers.

After that, he could return to Dazui. When he left, his granddaughter had just been born. This time, his great-grandson might be getting married.

...

Five years later.

In the northern demon control camp.

A burly man in iron armor appeared, shaking the ground.

He looked at Misan in the distance with a mocking expression: "What a waste. Nine cities in Yuzhou, and after all these years, you still can't conquer them. You were even heavily injured and had to flee. You bring shame to the North."

The burly man in iron armor laughed, and his subordinates laughed too.

Misan's face darkened: "Yuzhou is strong, not easy to take."

"Hmph, a waste shouldn't make excuses." The burly man said, "Forget Galan City, even the weakest Wu Gui City, guarded by one state guardian, you couldn't take. Ridiculous."

Misan's eyes showed fear at the mention of Wu Gui City: "Wu Gui City is not simple. That guardian is no ordinary state guardian.

Wu Gui City is not easy to take."

"Misan, just focus on recovering. If you can't take Yuzhou, I, Wutu, will!" Wutu said, striding away with his men.

In the room, Misan's dark expression gradually faded.

Beside him, an ordinary-looking woman said angrily: "Wutu is too arrogant!"

Misan wasn't angry, instead, he looked relaxed: "Don't curse him. I should thank him for taking over Yuzhou for me. Otherwise..."

The woman looked puzzled, not understanding her master.

Misan looked at her and slowly said, "Do you think I really can't defeat Dong Long of Galan City?"

"Master is wise and powerful, defeating Dong Long is a small matter. He used tricks against you..."

Misan was disappointed.

Indeed, few intelligent people understood him.

"I lost to Dong Long on purpose to leave Yuzhou," Misan said proudly. "Yuzhou is a dead end. Wutu will die if he goes there."

The woman was puzzled.

Wutu was a peak state guardian, close to becoming a land myth.

Misan continued, "Remember the guardian of Wu Gui City?"

The woman's face showed hatred: "The seven-colored sisters all died by his hand!"

The seven-colored sisters were Misan's trusted aides.

First, the weakest, Caixia, was sent to attack Wu Gui City and never returned.

Then, her sister Caiyi led a stronger force and also fell outside Wu Gui City.

Next, two more sisters went and died.

Finally, the top three sisters went together, including two state guardians and many strong demons, but they didn't return either.

It was like sending in small forces, then bigger ones, then the oldest and strongest.

When Misan learned of their deaths, he was incredulous.

He initially wanted to destroy Wu Gui City.

But then he calmed down.

He investigated and discovered a terrifying truth.

"The guardian of Wu Gui City was a mere overlord when he arrived.

In a few years, he grew stronger, becoming a state guardian, and not an ordinary one!

Such a person has great fortune and must be killed in one strike. Otherwise, sending people one by one will only make him stronger!" Misan was cautious.

"Is he really that powerful?" The woman asked urgently, "Why not gather a demon army to kill him when he was weak?"

Misan glared at her.

How would I know who he was when he was weak?

Now, the guardian of Wu Gui City was formidable.

Sending another demon army might result in another disaster.

He looked at the sky and suddenly said, "Do you know the White Emperor of the South?"

"Yes, he is as strong as the master."

"Decades ago, the White Emperor's disciples left his palace.

They came to the ten thousand and eight thousand cities to train.

The guardian of Wu Gui City, with great fortune and growing stronger, might be a disciple of the White Emperor." Misan revealed his theory.

That was why he attacked Galan City, deliberately failing and fleeing to leave Yuzhou.

"A disciple of the White Emperor?" The woman was excited. "If we capture him, it would be a great gain!"

She was thrilled.

Capturing the top disciple of the South, the supreme being might personally meet her.

Misan was speechless: "I shouldn't have told you this. With your intelligence, you won't understand.

Capturing a disciple of the White Emperor, what good is that? Besides, is the White Emperor really just an enemy of the master?

We should stay out of big people's affairs."

The woman felt aggrieved, not knowing what she said wrong.
