Chapter 2085 A near miss
Since people will be coming to Qiu Shui City soon, it is not advisable to send out too many warships to avoid letting others see more of their cards.
Anyway, after the attacks in the past two days, most of the demons in the surrounding area have been eliminated, and the risk of accidents has been greatly reduced.
In this case, it would not be a big deal to slow down the pace of attack.
Huo Jiujian knew very well that Lord Qu Ling did not want to be high-profile, but... who could have thought that the situation would develop to this point?
There is really no other way. They can't kill the team coming from Qiu Shui City to investigate.
So what we can do now is to expose as few means as possible.
As for what effect it will have, only God knows.
However, doing less is better than doing nothing.
The level of caution shown by Qiu Shui City was beyond their imagination. It was not until noon of the next day that a small team appeared in the distance.
There are seven people in this team, including four Jindan and three foundation-building ones.
There is no doubt that the three foundation-building masters should all have their own strengths in order to join such an adventurous team.
Dai Shuyi and the other man went to stop them again, but this time, the team refused to give in.
They said that Qiu Shui City is not the home of the Dai family. We are here to investigate the situation of the demons. Why are you stopping us?
Dai Shuyi and the two Jindan looked at each other, then directly drew out their magic weapons and were ready to take action.
They both understood in their hearts that there must be other reasons why the four Nascent Souls found the Dai family.
The most important thing is that the people of Qiu Shui City don’t seem to know that the Lord of Daye City, Huo Jiujian, has already arrived at Daijialing.
The meaning here is worth pondering. In other words, City Lord Huo is at least not interested in Qiu Shui City.
If you think about it more, it is actually normal. The mayor of Daye City went to the territory of Xiqiu City to do business. Isn't this overstepping the line?
Anyway, these two can be sure that since City Lord Huo can allow the Dai family to drive the people away, they don't mind if they take appropriate action.
But once they made a move, they scared the other side to death - Aren't you really not afraid of attracting the devil?
The four Jindans would definitely not be afraid of the two Jindans, but their mission was to confirm the news, so there was no need to create more trouble.
So they left decisively, but three hours later, more than ten people came back.
This time, the leader was a Nascent Soul True Immortal. Qiu Shui City urgently needed to know what had happened here.
Dai Shuyi and the other two did not dare to continue to stop them and allowed the other party to get closer.
However, the Yuanying who arrived was also a little dumbfounded. On the way, he had seen dozens of warships bombarding Daijialing.
He also recognized that this should be the legendary mortal warship of Dong Sheng, but this thing...how could it appear in Qiu Shui City?
It was not until he saw the four people hanging in the air that his eyes lit up, "So it's the four Taoist friends. Lei Shun is here to greet you."
This True Immortal Lei Shun was the Nascent Soul who showed up when the four of them first arrived at Qiu Shui City.
Qu Jianlei and the other three nodded indifferently, which was considered a greeting.
Immortal Lei Shun had countless questions in his mind, but in the end he asked first, "Do you four have any history with the Dai family?"
If there is an old relationship, then how Qiu Shui City should get along with Dai Jialing in the future needs to be carefully considered.
Even what Qiu Shuicheng had done before needed to be re-examined, and active efforts should be made to repair the relationship.
This matter is quite helpless. Who could have thought that at this critical moment when the demons were wreaking havoc, the Dai family could invite such powerful reinforcements from outside?
Huo Jiujian just glanced at him calmly and said, "There's no need to tell our friends about our relationship with the Dai family, right?"
He held back on what he said, thinking that as the lord of a city, he had never been asked such a nonsensical question before.
That is to say, he answered only because he took into consideration that he would need to use the teleportation array of Qiu Shui City when he returned.
Otherwise he really wouldn't even bother to care.
When Immortal Lei Shun heard this, he was also slightly startled, "Daoyou, have you and I ever had a grudge before?"
Seeing that Huo Jiu was too lazy to even answer, the servant asked, "Have you ever done us a favor?"
I have no gratitude or grudge against you, you are just a stranger. Why do you ask such casual questions?
True Immortal Lei Shun was choked by these words, but he couldn't just get angry at the four True Immortals in the opposing camp.
However, he couldn't just leave like that, so he could only stand not far away and watch, even though this reaction was a bit embarrassing.
There was no way. The situation in Qiu Shui City was already quite bad, and he had to seize any possible turning point.
Qu Jianlei and the others ignored it and continued to watch the warship destroy the demonic energy.
Later in the evening, two Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons actually rushed out, bringing with them a large number of Golden Core Heavenly Demons, and went straight for Qu Jianlei and the other four.
These guys are really cunning. They hid in the demonic energy and observed, and actually figured out that these four were the masterminds behind the scenes.
However, if they were to succeed in their sneak attack, not to mention Qu Jianlei, even Huo Jiujian would be unworthy of the name "Xingchen Palace"!
The four of them had already thought of a way to deal with the situation, and they calmly stepped forward to confront him.
Huo Jiujian and his servant formed a Yin-Yang formation and took on a Nascent Soul demon and several golden elixirs.
Qu Jianlei made a thunder gesture and faced another Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon head-on.
Duan Bowen's figure was erratic, and he used light and fire spells at the same time, sweeping towards the remaining Jindan demons.
Of course, in a melee, the target cannot be locked so tightly, especially when four people are outnumbered.
But the general situation of the battle was like this, and the four of them did not fall into a disadvantage.
Among them, Duan Bowen's fighting ability was slightly weaker, but his body was erratic, which made him the best fighter.
The four of them fought for only a few breaths before the warship in the air noticed something was wrong and shifted some of its firepower over.
Although they are only a part of them, they are all large-caliber laser cannons with extremely powerful power.
However, when the four of them made their move, they attracted a considerable amount of hatred due to the existence of restraining spells such as lightning and light.
Faced with more and more demons, even with the cooperation of warships, the battle between the four people still looks quite intense.
But it is still far from reaching the upper limit.
Uncle Dai was also jealous and was about to step forward to help, but Huo Jiu said coldly, "Back off, there's no need for you to meddle in other people's business!"
It’s not that City Lord Huo cares about them, but in the battle between the four Nascent Souls, if the Golden Core rashly leaves, it would be seeking death!
It would be fine if Tianmo hurt these people, but if it was his own side that hurt them by mistake, then the things that followed would inevitably be full of twists and turns.
But how easy is it to avoid accidental injuries? Not only will it distract your own side, it may also get in the way!
Immortal Lei Shun’s eyes widened as he watched. These four big guys… weren’t they a little too powerful?
He also wanted to help, after all, the devil was the biggest enemy of the entire cultivation world.
But he had to consider the risks, and the other party had just been quite unfriendly to him. Was it worth it for him to risk his life to curry favor with him?
If we look at it without any prejudice, the four Nascent Souls are not only able to stabilize the situation, but are also somewhat repellent to outsiders intervening.
So he could only stand outside the venue and ask, "Do you need help?"
Is that all your courage? Huo Jiu snorted inwardly and answered simply, "Stay aside!"
This was really too disrespectful, but there was no expression on Lei Shun Zhenxian's face. He thought to himself that this would save me a lot of trouble.
But as he watched, his expression gradually became serious because he saw something.
This fierce battle did not last long, only about half a day.
Around midnight, the number of demons besieging the four people began to decrease.
Theoretically speaking, this is not a normal phenomenon. The yin energy is heavy at midnight, and it should be the time when the devil is most rampant.
However, Qu Jianlei and the other three knew clearly that this was probably because the demon had consumed too much combat power before.
Before the demons attacked them, the warships had been attacking for two days and two nights, and the number of demons that could arrive nearby was limited.
A large number of demons have died in the attacks of warships, and now there is not much mobile force left.
After another hour, Qu Jianlei first destroyed the remnants of the Nascent Soul Demon, and then Huo Jiujian and the servant also succeeded.
The demise of the two Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons directly shocked the remaining Heavenly Demons.
After the four of them killed four or five Jindan demons, one of the demons flashed quickly and plunged into the black demonic energy.
There was the first beginning, and almost in an instant, all the demons scattered and turned and ran.
The demonic energy has become relatively sparse, but it is still a protective barrier for the demons.
"Beautiful!" Lei Shun Zhenxian was the first to shout, "It's worthy of the Star Palace's method!"
The skills and techniques of the Star Hall disciples are somewhat different from those of ordinary practitioners.
Lei Shun at least has the vision of a Nascent Soul. He has been observing carefully for such a long time that he should not be unable to see anything.
Since some of the other party's Nascent Souls are from the Star Palace, it is normal for them to be a little arrogant.
Huo Jiujian ignored him and looked at Qu Jianlei, "Now?"
The demons are already frightened at this moment. Can we consider attacking the demon realm?
"Let's wait until daybreak," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "The night is still not very friendly to us, and we must prevent the demon from escaping."
"Run if you want," Duan Bowen said with high spirits, "These are just some remnants, nothing to worry about!"
His fighting ability was originally quite good, and he was also very ambitious. When he was in Dongsheng, he even dared to accept the invitation to go to Hongye Ridge to cause trouble.
But in recent years, he has been active in Zhongzhou frequently, and always felt a little restrained - the combat power here is relatively strong, and there are many Nascent Souls!
Now that he had fought a great battle with the devil and had won, for a moment, he was really quite complacent.
As for the remnants of the demons, he really didn't care - Xiqiu City, from top to bottom, had committed suicide to such an extent, they did not deserve sympathy!
That’s right, in his opinion, the mayor of Xiqiu City deserved to die, but with the chaos down there, everyone deserved to die.
"Why bother?" Huo Jiujian could understand Duan Bowen's thoughts - in fact, he himself couldn't stand it!
But he still showed the responsibility of a city lord, "It's better to do things from beginning to end. I can't ruin the reputation of the Star Palace."
The four of them stopped and stood up, secretly regulating their breathing.
