Hero

Persuade the Qingyi Sect?

The goat-bearded cultivator was overjoyed in his heart, but he wore a look of hesitation on his face.

In reality, he had already received news that the Qingyi Sect was very concerned about the Strange City, but as a righteous sect, they did not know what reason to use to mobilize.

He feigned difficulty and said, "The Qingyi Sect is high and mighty; wanting to move them..."

"If you won't agree, then forget it."

Su Yi waved his hand, refusing to give others a chance to extort him.

He sighed inwardly, Xiwan City, I have done my best; what happens next is up to you.

Without reinforcements, his use of the Divine Shadow Legion this time would be in vain.

With that thought, Su Yi took Nan Xiaopao by the hand and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

The goat-bearded cultivator hurriedly called out to stop Su Yi, putting on a look of having made a difficult decision, and gritted his teeth, "Fine! I will risk my old reputation! After all, it concerns hundreds of thousands of lives!"

The other three elders couldn't help but roll their eyes; this guy was a real actor.

Su Yi looked back at the goat-bearded cultivator, showing no surprise, and said calmly, "Send the message now!"

He was not stupid, as he had learned from the Emperor Su Sect group chat that the Qingyi Sect was among the forces paying attention to Xiwan City.

The reason he chose the Qingyi Sect was that, through his understanding, he knew the Qingyi Sect was a truly righteous sect, not controlled by hypocrites.

He was making promises to the goat-bearded cultivator now just to get the Qingyi Sect to arrive sooner.

As for the favor?

Heh!

Let the Great Wei worry about that when they find him later!

Just like that, the goat-bearded cultivator happily took out pen and paper and sent a message via carrier pigeon, unaware that while Su Yi looked calm, he was actually looking at him like a fool.

Nan Xiaopao pursed her lips; she wanted to say something but ultimately held her tongue.

According to what her mother said, a woman could be assertive at home, but she must give her man face when out in public.

Meanwhile, the Bat Queen was still scanning Xiwan City, wanting to find the Qiling Holy Lotus and the Qiling Holy Body.

Beneath the thunderclouds, her Demon Army was terrifying, leaving the entire city in a state of panic, with everyone hiding in their homes.

Tan Quanming did not dare to make a big scene, so he specifically had people communicate with the city's citizens via text on the Xiwan City official website, constantly trying to appease them.

He even told the citizens to be prepared to abandon the city and flee at any moment.

Under the official website, messages appeared in a flurry.

"Why isn't Su Yi helping us?"

"Exactly! Su Yi is so strong!"

"Are you all idiots? Su Yi was injured earlier!"

"How long has it been? Still not better? We are all fellow Earthlings!"

"City Lord, please beg Su Yi for help!"

Most of the messages mentioned Su Yi; people are prone to becoming dependent on the strong, especially in times of crisis.

Tan Quanming also thought of Su Yi, but he couldn't bring himself to trouble Su Yi time and time again, forcing him to risk his life.

Zhang Yicheng, who served as Tan Quanming's chief bodyguard, spoke up, "Let me go find Su Yi?"

Tan Quanming hesitated, caught in a dilemma.

At this moment, the Bat Queen above the city gave an order, shouting, "Slaughter the city!"

The Bat Queen had already heard of the Black Scale King's tragedy, and with various forces stirring recently, she did not want to delay.

As her voice fell, all the bats and demon birds swooped down like the sky collapsing, killing their way into Xiwan City.

The apocalypse had arrived once again.

In the north of the city, a man in black walked down the street and, seeing this scene, shuddered in fear.

It was the Demon Wolf Star.

"Damn! The Bat Queen is truly ruthless; she really doesn't blink when slaughtering a city!"

The Demon Wolf Star cursed under his breath and immediately charged into the city.

He had to find the Qiling Holy Lotus before the slaughter ended.

He hadn't come to the Qiling Land out of curiosity from the Emperor Su Sect chat; his goal was the Qiling Holy Lotus.

If he could steal the Qiling Holy Lotus, his fame would skyrocket.

A man walking through the world cares about nothing more than fame and fortune.

At the same time, countless demon birds flew down, running rampant through the steel forest of Xiwan City.

Su Yi, Nan Xiaopao, and the Four Elders of Great Wei also witnessed this scene, and all of them were moved.

The goat-bearded cultivator hurriedly shouted, "Run, quickly!"

Nan Xiaopao also tugged at Su Yi's hand, wanting to drag him away to safety.

However, he did not budge.

"What are you doing?"

Nan Xiaopao asked urgently. Seeing the sharp look in Su Yi's eyes, she instantly understood his intent.

She was suddenly exasperated and hurriedly urged, "Big brother! Stop trying to fight! Once or twice is one thing, but do you really think you're some kind of unkillable cockroach?"

"Superheroes are for science fiction movies. We are in the Desolate Ancient right now. How many times can you save them? They have to rely on themselves in the end! We can barely survive ourselves!"

The Four Elders of Great Wei also stopped in their tracks, looking at each other in dismay.

Has this Half-Demon gone mad?

Does he think that just because he defeated the Black Scale King, Kuang Chu'e can defeat the Bat Queen?

He must be stupid!

Seeing that Su Yi remained unmoved, Nan Xiaopao gritted her teeth, gripped his right hand with both of hers, and sighed, "Fine, if we die, we die together. I'm following you no matter where you go, even if it's to our deaths."

The Four Elders of Great Wei grew anxious. If Su Yi died, what would happen to the favor he owed them?

"Don't be stupid! Run! The Bat Queen is incredibly powerful; only figures like the Sword Saint or the Devil Master could defeat her!" the female cultivator shouted in a fit of rage. In her eyes, Su Yi had completely lost his mind.

Su Yi ignored her; he was not crazy.

Beyond his own reluctance to stand by, he had his own goals.

Every major victory granted him a chance to summon someone, and the Bat Queen was a rare encounter.

Furthermore, the Demon Wolf Star had already arrived in Xiwan City.

It was the perfect opportunity to intimidate him!

Thinking of this, Su Yi's gaze grew even firmer. He gently patted the back of Nan Xiaopao's hand and smiled, "Just stay close to me!"

With that, he strode forward toward the Skyscraper a few hundred meters away!

Seeing that Su Yi would not listen to reason, the Four Elders of Great Wei had no choice but to turn and leave.

Su Yi's favor was not worth more than their lives.

Soon, they disappeared at the end of the street.

Meanwhile, the slaughter unfolded across Xiwan City. Screams echoed everywhere, and under the dim, thunder-clouded sky, everything appeared truly horrific.

Wu Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and the others were also fleeing, heading straight toward Su Yi and his companion.

Could this guy actually be thinking of taking on the Bat Queen?

Mo Haosheng thought speechlessly. It wasn't just him; everyone else was thinking the same thing.

Although they loathed Su Yi's identity as a Half-Demon, they had to admit that this Half-Demon possessed an overwhelming sense of human justice and was clearly determined to die for the Strange City.

Wu Qingyao frowned. She wanted to speak up and persuade him, but seeing Su Yi holding onto Nan Xiaopao, the words died on her lips, and she didn't know what to say.

Even if she did speak, she probably wouldn't be able to sway him, as she wasn't close to Su Yi anyway.

Just like that, Su Yi brushed past her.

This scene brought a secret joy to Mo Haosheng; it seemed he had misunderstood Wu Qingyao.

Nan Xiaopao noticed Wu Qingyao's gaze and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Su Yi, do you know that female disciple from the Luoshui Sect?"

Wu Qingyao looked like a celestial maiden, which made Nan Xiaopao feel inexplicably resistant, especially given the way Wu Qingyao was looking at Su Yi.

"I wouldn't say I know her."

Su Yi answered quickly. His attention was focused on the Bat Queen, so he didn't answer with much thought.

Black Tiger Emperor: Hehe, asking for recommendation votes on Monday, and also giving a shout-out to the night owls.
