Chapter 14 The Vanished Enemy
Wu Yi stopped paying attention to General Scorpion and turned to walk directly towards the Giant Spirit Dragon.
The scorpions have been purified, and the dragons have been detoxified. The remaining cleanup work can be left to the soldiers of Nangong City.
Wu Yi looked down at the Heavenly Crystal Beast beside him.
The azure-blue Qilin looked up, its eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
That last sword strike was just a warm-up for it; it craved more battles and more growth.
Wu Yi also needs more energy.
Feilong Gorge is just the beginning.
West Gate City is where the real battlefield begins.
"keep going."
Wu Yi lifted his cloak and said calmly.
The giant dragon let out a deep roar, spread its wings, and carried everyone into the sky once again.
Behind them, the dragons of Feilong Gorge circled in the sky, emitting long, drawn-out roars as they saw them off.
……
After crossing Feilong Gorge, you officially enter the territory of Ximen City.
From a high altitude, the territory of Ximen City is completely different from that of Nangong City.
Within Nangong City's territory, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and life is vibrant everywhere.
Here, as far as the eye can see, there are vast expanses of earthy yellow.
The rolling sand dunes have replaced the green hills, and the dried-up riverbeds have replaced the streams.
Occasionally, you can see a few poplars stubbornly rooted in the sand, their twisted trunks etched with the marks of wind and sand erosion.
The air was thick with heat, and even the wind carried the rough feel of sand and gravel.
Due to environmental issues, even giant dragons have been forced to reduce their flight altitude.
Nangong Wenya nestled in Wu Yi's arms and whispered, "Dad, it's so dry here."
Wu Yi did not answer; his gaze fell on a small town not far below.
Sweetwater Town.
According to the original plot, this is the territory of the Spicy General.
That guy brought his red chili porcupine, polluted the town's river into a chili soup, and set off chili firecrackers everywhere to bully the people and disrupt their normal lives.
Nangong Wentian experienced his first battle after entering the territory of Ximen City.
Looking down from the air, Sweetwater Town does indeed show signs of destruction. Giant chili peppers are scattered everywhere, both in the town and the surrounding land, and even the river flows with reddish water.
However, no monsters could be seen.
No red chili porcupine.
There is no Spicy General.
The town was unusually quiet.
"Let's go down and take a look," Wu Yi said.
The giant dragon slowly descended onto the square in the center of the town.
The townspeople were startled when they saw the green dragon descend from the sky, but they quickly recognized the figure on the dragon's back.
"It's Lord Nangong!"
"Lord Nangong has arrived!"
As the town closest to Nangong City, the people of Tianshui Town naturally know Nangong Yi.
The townspeople gathered around, and an elderly man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, stepped forward and bowed deeply to Wu Yi.
"Lord Nangong, you've finally arrived!"
"Those damned bastards set fire to our town and polluted the river. We can't even get a drink of water..."
"Where is he?" Wu Yi asked.
The old man paused for a moment, then asked, "Who is it?"
"The people who destroyed the town."
"Huh?" The old man scratched his head and looked around in confusion. "Strange, that guy has been launching pepper cannons at Sweetwater Town and the surrounding area every morning lately, but why is he not making a sound today?"
Upon hearing this, the others also began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"Yeah, we weren't attacked by pepper spray cannons today."
"I don't think I saw Spicy General either."
"I'm still getting used to it..."
Just as the group was wondering what was going on, a child stepped forward.
"Spicy General ran away early this morning!"
"What?"
Others turned their gazes toward it.
Even Wu Yi frowned slightly; the plot seemed to have changed.
Urged on by the adults, the child added, "Early this morning, before dawn, I saw that guy hurriedly running north with his monster, without even packing up his spicy burger."
North?
Wu Yi looked up, and it was in the direction of Ximen City.
At this point, the villagers also realized what was happening.
"Isn't the north the direction of the west gate?"
"So that guy left Sweetwater?"
"Very good!!"
The villagers cheered with joy.
Looking at the happy villagers, Wu Yi felt increasingly uneasy.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me.
Could it be because he defeated the Lord of Heaven and Earth Alliance?!
Once this idea came out, it seemed that the root of all the problems had been found.
Wu Yi thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.
In the original story, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance conquered Nangong City, corrupted Nangong Yi, and swept through the city with unstoppable momentum.
His generals were naturally arrogant and committed all sorts of evil deeds, showing no regard for anyone.
But things are different now.
The leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance was defeated head-on by Wu Yi in Nangong City, General Graffiti was defeated in Qingjing Village, and General Big Ears was beaten so badly by him in Xianyin Forest that he was utterly humiliated.
These things could not possibly be kept completely hidden.
The Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader's influence now extends throughout the Jade Dragon Kingdom, and there must be intelligence exchanges between different regions. For example, General Spicy has a special communication crystal ball.
So he may have found out about these things, which is why he ran away.
After all, given Wu Yinan's status as the city lord of Gongcheng, after defeating the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, he would inevitably have to reclaim the other lost territories.
Sweetwater Town borders the territory of Nangong City, making it the primary target.
To save his own life, Spicy General chose to flee.
They ran towards the west gate of the city, towards the evil Yama.
He wanted to find a stronger backer and form an alliance with other generals.
The plot has begun to change because of Wu Yi's appearance.
Wu Yi looked at the dirt road leading to the West Gate City on the north side of the town, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
run?
Where can it run to?
Ximen City is the lair of the Fiend King Yama and the final gathering place for all the generals of Ximen City. They went there simply to gather everyone's strength to deal with him together.
Just right.
Going to them one by one would be too much trouble.
Since they want to band together, let them band together to their heart's content. We'll take care of them all in one go later, saving time and effort.
"Dad, did that bad guy get away?" Nangong Wenya asked, tilting her little face up.
"Mm," Wu Yi replied.
"So we don't need to fight?"
"Not for now." Wu Yi patted Nangong Wenya's head. "But there will be a big one later."
Although it's possible that the Fierce King Yama might flee with his generals, Wu Yi had a hunch that Ximen City was more likely to be embroiled in a major battle.
Just as Wu Yi was talking to the villagers, an urgent shout suddenly came from outside the town.
"Uncle Nangong! Uncle Nangong!"
A chubby boy stumbled over.
He had dark skin and wore an ill-fitting suit of armor that clanged as he ran, causing the flesh on his face to jiggle.
Even though he was already out of breath from running, the boy was still shouting loudly.
"Uncle Nan... Uncle Nangong!"
"Please, please save my father! Save Ximen Cheng!"
