Let the Villain Go - Chapter 224

Chapter 224

In the temporarily built tent outside Xuyang, Wen Tongji was brought to Li Chengzhou.

He looked at his old friend in awkwardness as he sat at a gorgeous square table, with ten fingers interlaced on the table, and gave him a gentle smile.

“Chengzhou, you let me go, let Xuyang go. We are friends, aren’t we?” Wen Tongji stammered, “Now that your Shennai is so powerful, this world will be yours in the future. Our Xuyang base is willing to be your subsidiary. We will listen to you in the future. Can you not besiege Xuyang and withdraw them?”

Because of the lights, Wen Tongji felt that the face of this old acquaintance who he had known for many years was a little vague.

“Of course, we have always been friends.” The sitting Father pushed a small wine glass with a smile and filled it with a dark liquid, “Drink this, we are real friends, eternal partners.”

“This is demon blood? Demon blood that makes people half demonized!” Wen Tongji shook his head while trying to back away, “No, I can’t drink. I can’t drink this.”

He ran out of the tent in fright..

Not long after, Li Chengzhou came out of the tent, he looked at the crowded person, and made a light gesture.

The tall and terrifying half-demon with long legs, ran toward the densely populated town.

On a high ground away from Xuyang, Gu Zhengqing hurried to stop the straddle mount.

The Xuyang Fortress in the distance had been captured by a huge demon. The city wall collapsed, the fire was blazing, and the tall half-demon was wreaking havoc in the city with excitement. The tragic sorrow of the creatures in the city even spread to this place.

It had become a hell on earth.

“We are late,” Kong Haobo saw the tragedy in front of him.

“Even if we arrived in time, we are not an opponent to that kind of demon. We will just follow him to death.” Gu Zhengqing closed his eyes, “I really didn’t expect that the kind of demon cultivated secretly in Shennai is so powerful. There are so many of them.”

At this moment, Gu Zhengqing suddenly felt a deep regret. In Beizhen at that time, if at that time through that crisis, he could work together to unite people’s hearts, maybe they could struggle with Shennai. But at that time, he was so short-sighted. When the organizer of this meeting took the lead in seeking private benefits for his guild, the people’s hearts dispersed at that moment.

“Hao Bo, maybe you are right. I went in the wrong direction.” Gu Zhengqing sighed and opened his eyes, “Take this video and distribute it to the existing major fortresses. We will abandon the base. Inform people throughout the city to evacuate to the southwest.”

“Abandon our stronghold?” 

Everyone was surprised when they heard the president’s decision.

“We can’t abandon the fortress, where can we go?”

“Yes, let’s fight. We will guard the fortress.”

Gu Zhengqing raised his hand to stop them, “If the fortress is gone, there will be another day to recapture it, but if the people are gone…” He glanced at Xuyang city, which was smokey in the distance, “Go, there is hope only if people live.”

If the advent of demons was the first catastrophe brought to humanity by alien creatures, then in the sixth year of the advent of the demons, the second catastrophe of humankind was triggered by humans themselves.

The army of Shennai’s half-demons went to the icefield south, besieged all the way, and the blood flowed into the river, howling across the wild. No matter whether it was humans or demons, they could not fight against the half-demons army.

In the era of lagging information transmission, these fierce battles in the northern part of the mainland had not caused widespread panic among the people in Spring City, the hinterland of the Central Plains.

For them, the legendary army of Shennai was not as attractive as Ye Peitian, who lived in the city.

Since Ye Peitian publicly revealed his identity in Beizhen not far from Spring City, his identity in Spring City was no longer a secret. In order not to make the residents in the tube building too nervous, he also voluntarily moved out.

General Jiang deliberately allocated a villa with a deep courtyard and elegant style to Ye Peitian as a mansion.

“Did Brother Ye really moved out of our building?” Gao Yan asked Chu Qianxun on the way home.

Chu Qianxun whispered in her ear, “Actually no, he sneaks up from the window every night. It is just that recently, the lords of Xincheng and Qilin had come over to discuss things against Shennai. They couldn’t be crowded in the spring city, so Pei Tian gave the house to Xin Ziming to live in.”

“Yes, too many people have come to Spring City recently,” Gao Yan sighed.

As they walked along the road, they could see the streets, alleys, and eaves around the corners, crowding residents who had fled from the north. These people were homeless, slept in suits, or used cardboard and rags to barely build a shack that blocked their view. Life was barren and painful.

But for them, it was already a blessing to be able to escape to the fortress and be sheltered by the high walls and thick soil from the trampling of demons or half-demons outside.
