Chapter 689 Two Major Sects Borrow People
Lin Feng and the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword in the Central Plains successfully replicated the ancient demon sword mark and implanted it into an ordinary weapon.
Lin Feng from Taixu headed to the Demon Hunting Wilderness.
He planned to find a demon to test it out.
He found a mid-level demon and slashed it with his sword. The effect was quite good; the efficiency of absorbing demonic energy reached eighty percent.
Furthermore, the damage dealt to demons has been increased.
An ordinary weapon imprinted with this demonic sword mark can deal 200,000 damage with a single strike against a demon.
Lin Feng smiled and said to the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword, "You copied it so quickly?"
Lin Feng's soul within the demonic sword said, "Although it succeeded, it's not very useful."
"How do you say this?"
"It takes me ten days to create one of these demonic sword marks, and it also consumes a lot of my energy."
"Developing this is too slow; it won't be widely adopted."
You can easily create any number of ordinary magic sword marks.
From this perspective, the ancient demonic sword mark indeed cannot be widely disseminated.
But it's not entirely useless.
Lin Feng said, "That's fine too."
"We can gradually replace these demonic sword marks on our subordinates; they're still quite useful."
……
Time flies like an arrow.
Another half month passed quickly.
Ironblood City systematically cleared out the demons and remained firmly steadfast.
There were two demon sieges during this period, both of which were repelled by the team.
Even if the innate tribulation is supposed to last for half a year, half of it has already passed.
If we can just hold on for another three months, the innate tribulation will be completely over.
However, trouble came to Ironblood City that day.
Li Dongsheng, the Supreme Elder of the Wuji Sect, and Mu Chenzhong, the Supreme Elder of the Xingchen Pavilion, arrived in Ironblood City with eleven elders and dozens of disciples respectively.
Both of these individuals are Grandmasters of the Extreme Realm, and the fact that they brought so many elders clearly indicates that they have come with ill intentions.
The guards led the two into the city lord's mansion.
Lin Feng stepped forward to deal with the situation.
Both men were elderly with white hair, and they looked shrewd and calculating.
Li Dongsheng, the Supreme Elder of the Wuji Sect, glanced at the hot tea placed before him and said, "There's no need for tea; we're in a hurry."
Lin Feng glanced at the two men and saw that they had cold and stern expressions, as if they were unwilling to say anything more to him.
Lin Feng didn't reply, but quietly drank his tea.
Those two bastards don't give me any face, so I don't need to give them any face either.
After a while, Mu Chenzhong, the Supreme Elder of the Star Pavilion, spoke up: "We have come here today to borrow people."
As an outer city, your Ironblood City has been able to hold out for so long, which must mean you have sufficient personnel and good equipment.
It won't be a big deal if we borrow some people.
We won't lend it to you for nothing; each person will receive a magic crystal.
With so many people in Ironblood City, we can't possibly borrow them all.
We had already discussed it on the way.
Our two major sects will each borrow only 100,000 able-bodied men, and these men must provide their own weapons.
Haha, Lin Feng laughed after hearing that.
The two elders exchanged a glance and both frowned.
Li Dongsheng, the Supreme Elder of Wuji Palace, asked, "I wonder why City Lord Feng is laughing?"
Lin Feng waved his hand, and a guard came over.
Lin Feng said to the guard, "Tell them how many magic crystals I've given to each able-bodied man guarding the city over the past three months."
"Yes," the guard replied.
Then, he said to the two elders, "Since the Great Calamity of the Primordial Era, our city lord has distributed 120 magic crystals to every able-bodied man guarding the city."
There will only be more generals at all levels.
This doesn't even include the additional rewards for meritorious service.
The two elders stared wide-eyed. "So many?"
Mu Chenzhong, the Supreme Elder of the Star Pavilion, rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, we'll also bid 120 magic crystals, but we'll pay later. We didn't bring that many magic crystals this time."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "I'll have some tea first."
After saying that, he picked up his teacup and started drinking by himself.
Lin Feng realized that these two old guys had no intention of giving out magic crystals at all; they just wanted to get them for free.
If I lend my men to them, they will all be used as cannon fodder, and none of them will survive.
Those two old guys are shameless; they even made everyone bring their own weapons.
This is equivalent to needing 200,000 people and equipping them with 200,000 sets of weapons.
Moreover, the able-bodied men in the city have been training for several months and have reached the level of ordinary soldiers.
How could Lin Feng possibly lend it to them?
Those two are dreaming.
The guards at the gate and the soldiers of the city lord's mansion were all on edge when they heard that the two major sects had come to borrow people.
They are the city lord's regular troops. Although they won't be borrowed, their brothers, sisters, relatives and friends are very likely to be borrowed.
These two major sects want to borrow 200,000 young men.
The city's total able-bodied population is only a little over 200,000. If they are really borrowed, there will be almost no able-bodied people left.
Even a fool knows that lending someone out is tantamount to selling them.
In Ironblood City, you can eat meat every meal, but over there, you'll be lucky to even get a full meal.
The elders and disciples of the two major sects who were staying in the courtyard had already spread the news.
The soldiers and civilians in the city all knew the news.
Some young men came to the city lord's mansion.
Amid received them in another room.
These able-bodied men have rendered meritorious service in defending the city and deserve to be received by Amid personally.
The young man at the head of the group said, "Vice City Lord, we don't want to be lent out."
We must stay in Ironblood City to defend our homeland.
If it's really borrowed, will it still be treated like a human being?
They'd definitely be doing the hardest and most dangerous work; it would be difficult to even survive.
We definitely don't agree to being loaned out.
Amid shouted, "Insolence!"
During the Great Calamity of Heaven, all the people in the city were under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Just because you say you don't want to lend it out, does that mean it won't be lent to you?
Are you the city lord?
Amyra quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "What are you shouting for? The city kids have done a great job defending the city, what's wrong with offering some suggestions?"
The couple played good cop and bad cop, respectively, and had the young man completely under their control.
Amira said earnestly, "Regardless of whether it will be loaned out or not."
I hope everyone can respect the city lord's decision.
As you can see, both the Star Pavilion and the Wuji Palace, two major sects, have sent people.
In the courtyard, the dozen or so elders and dozens of disciples from the two major sects were merely their followers.
Two Grandmasters from the two major sects have also arrived and are negotiating with the city lord.
They were clearly using their power to intimidate others.
Can our Ironblood City stand against the two major sects?
"Can they handle so many sect elders and two Grandmasters of the Extreme Realm?"
The young man clenched his fists after hearing this, feeling extremely aggrieved.
He felt that even if the city lord was a Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm, he wouldn't dare to openly confront the two major sects, let alone defeat two Grandmasters of the Extreme Realm.
Amy grabbed the young man's hand.
The two major sects casually mentioned 200,000 able-bodied men, as if they were worthless.
But these young men and women are the treasures of ordinary people's families, they are all children who haven't grown up yet.
Amyra said softly, "The city lord will do his best to try."
Ironblood City needs everyone's protection, and the city lord certainly doesn't want to lend everyone out.
However, the two major sects are very powerful.
The city lord had no choice but to make the decision to meet with people, and I hope you can understand.
I will go with you then.
The young man looked up at Amyra.
This is a standing official of Ironblood City, whose status is equivalent to that of the deputy city lord, yet he is willing to take risks with the people he lent out.
Amira pulled Amira aside, telling her not to act impulsively.
The young man took a deep breath. "Then let's wait for the city lord's decision."
……
Mu Chenzhong, the Supreme Elder of the Star Pavilion, was getting impatient.
He said to Lin Feng, "Lord Feng, please wait a moment while you drink your tea. Let's finalize things quickly."
If you think we haven't given you enough magic crystals, we can add more.
Bang! Lin Feng slammed the teacup on the table. "If you're not going to drink the tea, get out. Don't even think about lending me your teacup."
"You're not taking a single person out of Ironblood City today."
