Chapter 1784 - 1787: Approaching
"What? Unbelievable?"
Lu Xiaobu chuckled as he looked at the guard whose eyes were about to pop out.
"Yes, no, no, with your ability, nothing is surprising!"
The guard quickly flattered.
He increasingly felt that the God Slaying Alliance had no future!
Look, the City Lord you rely on and believe in has already defected, what are you still playing at!
"This isn’t my method, they came over voluntarily."
Lu Xiaobu shook his head and laughed.
"Voluntarily?"
This left the guard even more baffled.
If these people were controlled like him, he could still understand.
But voluntarily?
That seems a little too far-fetched!
However, he understood the meaning behind the words, which was meant for him to keep the secret of the Young Master’s ability to control people!
"Alright, you can leave now. I’ll call you if there are any tasks." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.
Let them explain these themselves.
"Yes!"
The four Nascent Soul cultivators all bowed and left.
Exiting the City Lord Mansion.
The guard finally couldn’t hold back!
Before he was saying those core people of the God Slaying Alliance were out of touch, but it turns out he wasn’t much better off.
"Three, exactly why..."
The guard didn’t finish his sentence.
After all, some things are better left unsaid, mentioning them would just hurt!
"You must be laughing at me!"
The first Nascent Soul cultivator, the City Lord of Hailai City, Hailai, spoke up.
"We didn’t want to defect so openly, it’s really out of desperation!"
Saying this, the other two Nascent Soul cultivators also gave wry smiles repeatedly.
The guard was puzzled.
"Ah! You know, after that massacre, everyone was fearful for their lives!" Hailai sighed and said: "I have no idea when the butcher’s knife will fall on my head!"
"Of course, this can still be stabilized, as long as there’s enough time, we believe we can gradually find our footing."
"But, with those constant orders to kill, kill, kill, I was completely terrified!"
"Not just me, everyone is terrified!"
"As long as your enemy reports you as a traitor, it’s nearly a certain death scenario, who wouldn’t find a way out in this situation?"
"Ah, yes, understandable!" The guard understood.
Endless danger behind, enemies ahead.
No matter who it is, they’d find a way out!
"Of course, at first, the way out wasn’t so direct, directly defect, but to block all the city’s information channels leading to the God Slaying Alliance instead." Hailai said again: "With this, no one can report!"
"Yes." The guard nodded again.
Turns out, information from the Southwest couldn’t be transmitted back at all, aside from the airtight security, the role of these City Lords too!
Indeed, under such circumstances, every message might contain reports of rebellion.
To save his own skin, even he would do the same!
"And later..." Hailai said, giving a bitter smile, then pointed to Nanshan City: "Friend, you must have seen the magical or perhaps crazy scene here!"
"This place is great, safe, no butcher’s knife hanging over your head every day!"
"Imagine, even we City Lords start finding ways out, what about those at Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, or even Qi Cultivation?"
"They aren’t fools, they’re all finding ways out too!"
"So, they found here, a paradise on earth in Southwest Huludao!"
"I don’t need to say much more about what came after!"
Hailai said with some chuckles.
The guard laughed too.
Indeed, no need to say more.
Those of Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, Qi Cultivation all ran here.
The families of these cultivators surely came along too.
And when ordinary people saw cultivators fleeing, how could they have the courage to stay where they were!
So, they ran as well!
"Without people, what are we City Lords supposed to do?" Hailai said again: "So, simply, we came directly too!"
"But, it is really comfortable here! At least it’s safe!"
"Yes, safe!" The guard couldn’t help but glance at this city again.
It’s more than safe, it’s a place to live and thrive!
The Young Master is truly amazing!
If the City Lords of the God Slaying Alliance defect without a fight, and this news gets out, it will surely drive a batch of them crazy!
This would hurt the God Slaying Alliance more than losing a battle and having several City Lords killed!
Winning without fighting, conquering the city!
Too wonderful!
...
While they discussed here, the advisory team was already in a heated discussion due to the news brought by the guard!
The God Slaying Alliance officially noticed Southwest Huludao, meaning they don’t have much time!
Considering capturing the city is simple.
What truly needs consideration is the top-tier combat power!
The God Slaying Alliance has too much top-tier combat power, and they only have Young Master Bu to rely on.
If the God Slaying Alliance goes crazy, deploying top combat power to attack them, all their efforts would go to waste!
Therefore, they must find a solution quickly!
"I propose contacting the Demon Clan in Ten Thousand Mountains, see if they can help!"
"I think it’s unlikely, what’s needed here isn’t demon beasts, but real high-end combat power, they reap no benefits! But, it can be recorded as a backup plan!"
"I think we can start from Northwest Gourd Island! There are quite a few high-end combat powers there!"
"That’s a way, but how do you persuade them to help? Or even join us?"
"I think we can give up Gourd Waist, retreat to Southwest Huludao, let Northwest Gourd Island face the God Slaying Alliance with us!"
"This is also difficult! The biggest problem is you cannot ensure the God Slaying Alliance will really fight on two fronts!"
"Also, one cannot ensure those high-end combat powers on Northwest Gourd Island won’t directly turn around and attack us!"
"I also disagree with giving up Gourd Waist, those guys from Northwest Gourd Island have no real judgement, they once worked with the God Slaying Alliance before, unreliable unless truly controllable!"
"What does Young Master Bu think? Have you asked him?"
"Young Master Bu wants us to draft a basic plan first!"
"Alright, let everyone discuss further, note down several ideas, analyze the success rate!"
"..."
Three unrefined men are better than Zhuge Liang, Lu Xiaobu isn’t a god, impossible to consider everything comprehensively in such a big matter, rather it’s the advisory team developed in Southwest Huludao that can give accurate data.
However, no matter what, a big battle is at hand!
Southwest Huludao, lacking high-end combat power, will face its biggest crisis!
