Chapter 248 Melee (page 12)
"Lord Saint," the third elder asked in a low voice, "is everything going as planned?"
Chi Qiu wanted to nod, but she remembered what Huo Yuhao told her before setting off——
Her eyes turned cold, and her eyes seemed to become scarier: "Did I say there was a change of plan?"
"No." The third elder immediately saluted respectfully.
"Then, what else do I need you to consider for me?" Her tone became more pressing, "I remember that the leader assigned me to coordinate everyone this time. It seems that you also want the right to command?"
"I don't dare. Everything will be done according to the arrangements of the saint." The third elder lowered his head. The fourth elder on the side opened his mouth, as if he still had something to say, but finally closed his mouth. Chi Qiu gave them another cold look, then turned around and continued to look at the situation in the imperial city.
Huo Yuhao told her that they had only been in Holy Spirit Cult for a few days. For these elders who had always had a transcendent status in Holy Spirit Cult, it was like two bosses appeared out of thin air above their heads, and their cultivation level was not as good as them.
In this case, the two elders traveling with her are likely to want to take over the command due to her inexperience. If she agrees, then this will be the first step for her, a saint, to lose her prestige in the Holy Spirit Church. . In all future actions, her orders will not be as effective, and her subordinates will listen to the elders' orders more.
Under such circumstances, if he and Chi Qiu wanted to use their identities as the Son and Saint Daughter to do something in the future, they would lose a lot of manpower and resources that could be mobilized. Clarifying the status must be done from the beginning.
It was not difficult for Chiqiu to understand this matter. At this point, soul beasts do better than humans. The establishment of prestige among soul beasts is very straightforward. Even if Chi Qiu himself has never done this, he has seen Di Tianwei suppress his subordinates many times. In Chi Qiu's heart, Di Tian was a fairly easy-to-talk acting king, but he never showed mercy when it was time to intimidate. Especially Mr. Xiong, who was beaten by Di Tian often.
Time... almost. By this time, Zhong Liwu and Huo Yuhao should have been in place. Now, what they have to do is pretend to be a group of foreign forces from the Douluo Three Kingdoms that do not belong to the Holy Spirit Sect, and launch an attack on the palace. And she herself had another mission - to rush to the agreed position in the melee and meet with Huo Yuhao's spiritual half.
"Time's up." She announced coldly, "Do it!"
There was a dull clanking sound of metal, and the evil soul masters behind the two elders took out countless dark soul guides and lined them up. Chi Qiu immediately felt an uncomfortable cold air behind her back. She remembered that when they killed the Eighth Elder, they were investigating this kind of soul guidance device. After coming to the Holy Spirit Cult, she learned that the black metal they were using was... It was accomplished using the magic of extracting a person's soul and forging it back into it.
Huo Yuhao simply named them evil soul guides. The metal itself is not guilty, but if they are stained with blood and soul, they are guilty, which is the same definition as the evil soul master.
The first batch of evil soul guides used to cover the city siege were all soul cannons of around level six. Such an attack could not even break through the automatic defense system at the entrance to the imperial city. The purpose of this first batch of attacks was not to break the defensive shield, but to create enough smoke and enough noise to cover their approach to the imperial city.
The evil soul master responsible for commanding the evil soul guidance device waved his hand, and dozens of soul guidance cannons fired in volley. No alarms sounded above the imperial city, and all monitoring soul guidance devices were ineffective.
A burst of earth-shaking explosions came from the entrance of the imperial city in the distance. At the same time, everyone nearby saw a soft golden-red light surrounding the entire imperial city like a mother hugging a baby, and the explosion was The smoke, dust and shock waves are all blocked out, unable to invade at all.
"Let's go." Chi Qiu ordered, and a group of people quickly approached the imperial city under the cover of smoke and dust. The two soldiers guarding the city noticed their infiltration. Before they even got close to the team, they were punched by Chi Qiu, who was leading the group, and were knocked unconscious in the smoke, thus preventing them from dying at the hands of the evil soul master.
Although the evil soul master would definitely kill some people... She lamented in her heart, and she could only do her best to help. After all, even without her and Huo Yuhao, this battle would still happen, and these people would still die. After comforting herself like this, she felt a little better.
Soon, they approached the main entrance of the imperial city. Countless armored soldiers blocked the city gate. Chi Qiu snorted and motioned to the people behind him not to do anything. Then he pulled out the purple-gray dragon spear and pointed towards the city gate lightly. A stream of light hit the city gate at a speed that was difficult to see clearly, and no one of the guards had time to react.
However, just when this stream of light was about to hit the city gate head-on, the city gate seemed to be blown by the wind, and opened a crack with a creak, just in time for Chi Qiu's soul power to shoot in. There was a rumble of soul power exploding in the city.
Chi Qiu tightened his grip on the gun and looked at the people who were surrounded by people walking out after the door slowly opened. This man had long lavender hair, wore light soul armor, held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and his expression was as relaxed as if he had a chance to win.
She knew this person. Li Wuti had called her at the departure clock. This person was Xu Zimi, the current deputy leader of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group, a ninth-level soul engineer and titled Wind Control Douluo.
Just by hearing the last name, you know that they are related to Xu Tianran, and that is indeed the case. This person was Xu Tianran's internal agent who arranged to defend the city. It seemed that he was leading the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group to defend the imperial city. In fact, he secretly let Chi Qiu and others escape, pretending to be defeated and letting them enter the city. Therefore, Zhong Liwu also told Chi Autumn, don’t really hurt this person after winning.
Would he not hesitate to let the evil soul master go into the city to kill people for Xu Tianran... Looking at Xu Zimi who came forward with a smile on his face, Chi Qiu finally understood why he looked completely indifferent. The outcome of this battle was logically determined, but at this time she had other ideas.
Anyway, there will soon be a big melee that Xu Tianran and Zhong Liwu didn't expect. So even if she kills Xu Zimi here, can she throw the blame away in a vague way?
Thinking of this, she had made up her mind. Looking up again to see the smile on Xu Zimi's face, she couldn't help but laugh too.
"Yin Yu." She called in a low voice, and the white-haired Soul Saint came to her side. She ignored the puzzled looks of the third and fourth elders and patted her shoulder: "When we start fighting later, you can quickly sneak into the city according to the original route and meet Xu Tianran's people. We will hold them back here. This guy and his group of soul engineers."
"Am I alone?" Yin Yu was slightly puzzled, "Won't I be caught?"
"They are all our own people." Chi Qiu showed a smile, "Go with peace of mind, I heard that your brother is now the personal guard of the emperor's palace."
Xu Zimi cleared his throat. He still had to perform a full performance. After all, there are still many people loyal to His Majesty in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Corps. He can only be regarded as one of Xu Tianran's lackeys who blended in. "I am here today. , you don’t even think about stepping into the imperial city.”
"Then let's give it a try." Chi Qiu clapped his hands calmly, "Third Elder, Fourth Elder, do such guys still need me to do it myself?"
The two elders immediately stepped forward and confronted Xu Zimi head-on. The latter sneered, and it seemed that his acting skills were really good: "Come on, you dirty evil soul masters! Let you know that the most powerful part of our Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Group as the hand of protector of the country is by no means What a waste of fame!"
The next moment, the defensive artillery fire that had been prepared on the city wall poured down. Although Chi Qiu was able to dodge easily, he was secretly surprised: although this attack had obvious gaps, it was still quite powerful. Those evil soul masters who are unable to react and have lower cultivation levels may really lose their lives if they eat these shells.
