Liou Yuan and Zhao Feiyue found Lv Jifeng and the others at their previous location.
They were still in the courtyard, busy cleaning up the broken rubble and shattered walls, looking as if they were planning to stay for a long ti.
When Liou Yuan and Zhao Feiyue entered, the five stopped what they were doing.
The one with the highest cultivation, Lv Jifeng, stepped forward with a warm smile and said, "Both of you, tonight we will join you in maintaining order in the city."
Liou Yuan inwardly sneered, seeing Lv Jifeng’s intentions clearly, just as he was about to speak.
Zhao Feiyue had already opened her mouth with an indifferent expression and said, "The city doesn’t need so many people."
"Compared to inside the city, the walls need cultivators to guard them more."
Lv Jifeng’s smile didn’t waver as he continued, "Rest assured, we are familiar with the city, leave it to us so you can safely guard the city walls."
"Mr. Lv’s plan is well thought out." Zhao Feiyue found it difficult to maintain her composure as her eyes flashed with a blue brilliance.
The Five Extres Mountain ca to support Chouhuai City, yet it had beco their sole responsibility to defend it.
The cultivators of Chouhuai City, who should have been responsible for defending it, were retreating to the rear.
Liou Yuan slowly took a step forward to stand beside Zhao Feiyue, and leisurely said, "Mr. Lv, with your level of cultivation, staying inside the city is a waste of talent."
"The city walls need you more."
"As for the other four fellow cultivators, they’ll stay and assist us in defending the city."
There was no way he was going to let Lv Jifeng and the other four stay together.
Defending the city was a serious matter and required unified coordination.
Fighting individually was inappropriate, and with Chouhuai City’s side having ulterior motives, problems were bound to arise.
Since the Five Extres Mountain had arrived, the cultivators on Chouhuai City’s side should follow their lead.
However, Lv Jifeng’s side did not see it that way.
After hearing what Liou Yuan and Zhao Feiyue said, Lv Jifeng maintained his smile and replied respectfully but firmly, "According to Jin Dynasty law, if the chief officers die, the cultivator with the highest cultivation should assu command."
"I can go to the walls, but my colleagues need to go with ."
"Quite the calculation." Zhao Feiyue said coldly, her gaze fixed firmly into Lv Jifeng’s eyes.
"If you all leave, it would an leaving the city’s affairs to the three of us."
"Or is it that Mr. Lv wants to force all the disciples of Five Extres Mountain to guard the city gates this way?"
"The cultivators of Chouhuai City, comfortable within the city, unaffected?"
"Why assu the worst in people, fellow cultivator? I’m just following the rules." Lv Jifeng, as stubborn as ever, smiled without conceding.
His eyes first glanced at Liou Yuan, then at Zhao Feiyue.
His eyes contained a subtle contempt that others might not notice.
He was at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer; there was no reason to be led by the nose by these juniors whose auras were nowhere near his own.
"I can go defend the city."
"But if I leave with my people, let’s see how you three can defend it. You might manage for one or two days, but eventually, you’ll have to call back."
Lv Jifeng thought with a cold smirk.
"Hey!" Liou Yuan suddenly chuckled.
Under the wary gazes of Lv Jifeng and the four cultivators behind him, he slowly unsheathed the Profound Brilliance Sword and said to the five, "Stop dawdling, you’re just trying to force us to compromise anyway."
"Save these tricks for your Jin Dynasty Foundation Establishnt cultivators."
"Since the Five Extres Mountain is here, you should listen to us about what to do."
"If you don’t..."
Liou Yuan’s expression turned icy, and his voice began to emanate with killing intent: "Don’t bla us for being ruthless."
"Mr. Liou, what do you an?"
"At a critical ti like this, you want internal conflict? Are you threatening to attack us?"
Lv Jifeng finally dropped all pretense, shouting furiously, "Aren’t you afraid of the Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivators of your Five Extres Mountain holding you accountable?"
Zhao Feiyue snorted, her heroic face full of coldness as she said, "Before my second granduncle left, he said, our Five Extres Mountain disciples represent the mountain’s dignity when on missions."
"Now that we’ve taken over Chouhuai City, if you want to act independently, don’t bla us for being ruthless."
"Second granduncle?" Lv Jifeng was taken aback by the implication in Zhao Feiyue’s words.
He seed shocked by Zhao Feiyue’s identity.
"Why waste words on this fool." Liou Yuan had grown impatient, cursing as he swung the Profound Brilliance Sword down towards Lv Jifeng.
"Today, either you get up there, or I’ll bury you here!"
