Chapter 106: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Senior Di, just help me with a favor.

Seeing Di Ying hesitate, Gu Han eventually stepped forward and urged Di Ying, saying,

How can there be whole eggs under an overturned nest?

Even though you are not a person of Mu Shan Cheng, Wang Keyan grew up there from childhood.

Whether it's those who sell breakfast, or others who have had a passing acquaintance with Wang Keyan.

Perhaps to Wang Keyan's long life, they are merely passersby.

But if Mu Shan Cheng falls, Wang Keyan might not even find someone who does not seek to ingratiate himself and can simply greet her.

Di Ying, hearing this, fell silent involuntarily.

These years, for revenge, he has kept all his actions hidden from Wang Keyan.

He himself has watched Wang Keyan, from her lively childhood, slowly become aloof.

But he has occasionally seen Wang Keyan reveal her true feelings.

It was when he met Liu the Uncle selling breakfast on the street and greeted him, showing a smiling face.

It's not hard to see that Wang Keyan greatly enjoys the life of ordinary people.

Thinking this, Di Ying took a deep breath and finally made up his mind,

Alright, since Gu Xiaoyou has said so, I'll help this once.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Kuan immediately beamed with joy.

Now the enemy is causing chaos; with Brother Di's help, we will surely quell the turmoil!

Zhou Kuan circulated his inner strength, raised his voice in a loud shout, and his resonant sound spread in all directions,

Everyone shall perform their duties; anyone other than me who dares to open the gate shall be executed without exception!

At this moment the situation is critical; with the state beneath the city tower unclear, Zhou Kuan could not possibly remain on the tower to command.

All soldiers on the city tower, obey Gu Han's command!

Zhou Kuan and Di Ying exchanged a glance, then both leapt down from the city tower.

Having taken on the heavy responsibility, Gu Han did not rashly pursue, but quietly hid in a dark place.

The people of Dan Ren Cheng who want to open the city gate have two possible routes.

The first is to forcefully break the door, which is the route they are currently choosing.

However, Dan Ren Cheng no longer has many more Martial Ancestor strong warriors able to join the battlefield.

After Zhou Kuan and Di Ying join the battlefield, they will surely sweep like autumn wind clearing leaves, directly crushing and sweeping away!

Then what remains for the people of Dan Ren Cheng is only the second route.

That is, taking advantage of Zhou Kuan and Di Ying's departure, to forcefully storm the city tower and, using the gate switch, forcibly open the city gate!

As Gu Han had expected, just after Deng Li leapt down from the city tower, at the first moment he sought out Qiu Lin and others who were attacking the city gate.

Young Master Qiu, hurry and retreat.

Deng Li urged anxiously,

Gu Han has brought the corpses of the soldiers, already exposing our scheme!

Before long, Zhou Kuan and Di Ying will act; then what awaits us is a dead end!

Qiu Lin, hearing this, instantly changed expression,

What did you say?

This is already the most complete plan they could devise in a short time.

Yet in such a short time, Gu Han has broken it, causing the effort to fall short?

Could this guy be someone sent by heaven to restrain them?

Beside him, Zheng De's face turned grim; is this guy Gu Han even human?

Where would a normal person carry the corpses of those he killed on his person?

Doesn't this disgust him inside?

Even a demonic cultivator at most refines corpses; who has heard of carrying corpses around?

Who knows why Gu Han would like this?

Deng Li said in a hurried tone,

This Mu Shan Cheng, anyway I can't stay here; I've said my piece, regardless of whether you run or not, I'll run first.

As his words fell, Deng Li turned his head and ran straight into the night.

Greedy for life, fearful of death, profit-driven things!

Watching Deng Li's receding back, Zheng De spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground,

Earlier we had a chance to win; he betrayed Mu Shan Cheng and joined us; now the winds have shifted, he turns and runs!

Qiu Lin gave a cold snort with a gloomy gaze,

This guy has no more use; letting him flee is better than him later stabbing us in the back!

As for where Deng Li can run to, Qiu Lin and the others don't care.

What they are concerned about now is how to break this situation!

If they wait for Guan Zhen and others outside the city to return to defend, they will be trapped in Mu Shan Cheng, becoming turtles in a jar!

In the rush, even with a map of the forests around Mu Shan Cheng, escaping Mu Shan Cheng is impossible.

Their fate was sealed from the moment they entered Mu Shan Cheng.

Either they open the city gate and achieve an unprecedented feat,

or they die in Mu Shan Cheng!

Just as the two were pondering deeply, a violent impact sound came from afar.

It must be Zhou Kuan and Di Ying who have started fighting.

Zheng De, Furrowed Brow, spoke in a low voice,

Two Martial Experts have entered the field; although night provides cover, they absolutely cannot hold out for long—we must decide quickly!

Qiu Lin's mind raced frantically, and after a moment his eyes lit up,

Zheng De, take a few people to attack the distant guards and lure Zhou Kuan and Di Ying away.

I'll lead people to storm the City Tower, open the gate latch, and forcibly destroy it!

As long as we open the main gate, our mission will be accomplished; the remaining cleanup will naturally be handled by someone.

Upon hearing Qiu Lin's words, Zheng De's heart instantly filled with joy,

Young Master Qiu is indeed remarkably quick-witted; I'll immediately mobilize the men to arrange it!

Zheng De slipped into the crowd and immediately led several Great Martial Masters away quickly.

Qiu Lin waited patiently, and soon felt two powerful auras being drawn off to the east and west.

Qiu Lin's mouth curled up—his plan succeeded!

Follow me up!

He led three Great Martial Masters with strong auras, swiftly employed stealth martial techniques, and sneaked up onto the City Tower.

Throughout the process, neither side in the battle noticed anything amiss!

Qiu Lin avoided the city guards and carefully made his way onto the City Tower.

But Qiu Lin never expected there to be a concealed mechanism on the City Tower!

As soon as they leapt onto the City Tower, the mechanism projected their traces.

Exposing them to the sight of the city defenders!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Soon, the guards stationed on the City Tower launched an attack against the revealed figures of Qiu Lin and his three companions.

Although most of these guards were merely Martial Masters and Martial Practitioners.

But the bows and crossbows in their hands were specially made; even a Great Martial Master could not completely ignore them!

However, the three Great Martial Masters Qiu Lin brought were outstanding among their peers, easily dodging the arrows they shot.

Bang!

Bang!

Wave after wave of surging qi lashed out, blasting those arrows to powder in midair!

Although he deflected the archers' attack, Qiu Lin couldn't help but Furrowed Brow.

Zhou Kuan is battle-hardened; he doesn't believe Zhou Kuan would have left no backup on the City Tower.

If you want to open the city gate, you'll have to step over my corpse!

The two Great Martial Masters tasked with guarding the gate latch under Zhou Kuan's arrangement roared.

They brandished their blades and charged at the oncoming Qiu Lin and company.

The Great Martial Masters Qiu Lin brought needed no orders; they stepped forward to meet the attack.

Four Great Martial Masters became entangled in combat on the City Tower.

Howl!

Howl~~

Two wolf howls suddenly rang out.

The Violet-Wing Wolf and the Blazing Hound joined forces.

Wind fans the flames!

The flame surged even more tumultuously beneath the gale fanned by the Violet-Wing Wolf.
