In the City Lord's Mansion, next to the Soul Washing Pond, the City Lord of Xianyuan City stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the Soul Washing Pond quietly. His pair of deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the fog and see into the depths of the Soul Pond.
The butcher was standing not far behind him.
He brought Lu Ye here before and placed him in the soul pool, but he never left. Although Lu Ye's body had not completely dissipated when he brought him here, he still felt a little uneasy after all.
There are Xianyuan guards who are reporting on the situation on battlefields in various parts of the city...
Now that the invading Zerg in the city have been basically wiped out, this war once again ended with the victory of Xianyuan City.
It's been like this for thousands of years...
What Lu Ye didn't know was that almost all the spirits in Xianyuan City were immortal beings. They had left their own soul imprints in the soul pool, so even if they died in battle outside, they could still pass through their souls.
The power of the pool is resurrected.
This is also the reason why the Butcher and others can come back from the dead.
The soul pool is the foundation of Xianyuan City.
If the Zerg want to capture Xianyuan City, there is only one way.
That is to use absolute force to destroy Xianyuan City's defense force, capture the city lord's palace, and destroy the soul pool!
Otherwise, no matter how numerous and powerful the Zerg are, it is impossible to capture Xianyuan City. The process of every Zerg invasion in history is surprisingly similar.
In the beginning, Xianyuan City was always at a disadvantage, because there were too many Zergs, and there were many powerful Zergs. However, the Zergs died when they were killed, while the monks in Xianyuan City could continue to walk away from the soul pool.
Come out and rejoin the battlefield.
Under the ebb and flow of one another, the threat of the Zerg will gradually be eliminated, allowing Xianyuan City to win.
This war lasted for almost half a month, and the time when Lu Ye came in was when the war broke out at its most intense.
Now, the war is about to end, and the huge gap in the sky has disappeared without knowing when.
After the Xianyuan Guard reported the situation, he withdrew.
The butcher got bored waiting, so he asked: "City Lord, is this kid really the one chosen by...?"
Although he had muttered something in front of Liu Datong, Yu Qing and others before, it was only because he heard it from the city lord.
The city lord still looked at the bottom of the soul pool and said: "The last time he came in, three of the four elephants had gathered. This time they have gathered, and he seems to have a powerful spiritual pattern master inheritance, allowing him to do whatever he wants.
If he is not the chosen one, it is hard for me to imagine how high the requirements are for the chosen one." At this point, he changed the subject: "However, he should be just one of the candidates."
"Are there other chosen people?" The butcher frowned.
The city lord said: "Eggs will not be put in one basket, especially for that kind of existence. Over the past thousands of years, there should be many chosen people... We have lived in Xianyuan City for a long time, and we are not aware of the situation in the outside world.
I don’t know what happened to those who were selected, but judging from the current situation, no one among those who were selected has ever truly succeeded."
The butcher nodded. If someone really succeeded, then they would not have to defend Xianyuan City here, and they would have to be completely free.
"But there will be a result eventually, time is running out." The city lord sighed.
He also said this when he saw Lu Ye last time, but it was just his own words and no one heard him.
The butcher's expression was solemn: "How much time do you think you have left?"
"Who knows..." The city lord shook his head slowly, "You must have also felt that the number of Zerg attacking the city has been increasing over the years, and correspondingly, the power of the soul pool has been decreasing year by year. Maybe in a few decades,
The power of the Zerg will be so overwhelming that we cannot resist it, or in a few years, the soul pool will dry up and we will lose our immortality. No matter which case happens, Xianyuan City will fall, and Kyushu will be destroyed by then!"
The butcher's eyebrows were heavy.
As monks in Xianyuan City, they have been guarding this place for thousands of years. They in the Divine Sea Realm know much more secrets than those in the Divine Sea Realm in Kyushu.
The safety of Xianyuan City is not only related to Xianyuan City, but also to the entire Kyushu.
Perhaps the monks in Kyushu have never known that in such a place, there are many spiritual beings that have been fighting against the Zerg for thousands of years and guarding the safety of Kyushu.
Even if someone told them this at this moment, no one would believe it. After all, this kind of fact is a bit ridiculous.
As for the increasing number of Zerg that the city lord said, it must mean that the Zerg Hive has been able to devour the power of the outside world. This is not a good phenomenon. If the connection between the Zerg Hive and the outside world is strong enough, then it is not perfect in the first place.
The protection will inevitably create bigger loopholes, and the consequences will be disastrous.
There is also a soul pool...
Although the energy in the soul pool is extremely huge, over the past few thousand years, the spirit bodies in Xianyuan City have been resurrecting from the dead and are consuming the power of the soul pool. One day, the power of the soul pool will be exhausted.
At that time, the spirits in Xianyuan City will lose their immortality.
There are various signs that time is indeed running out. The world needs someone who can turn the tide, but no one knows whether those selected candidates can pass the final test.
After thousands of years of waiting with no results, who can expect any miracle?
For a moment, the butcher felt sad.
"That kid is awake!" the city lord suddenly said.
"Is it nothing serious?" the butcher asked quickly.
"He just had a serious consumption of his soul power, so what's the big deal? Sure enough, this kid started doing bad things again!" The city lord suddenly felt itchy.
Butcher Hao Ran: "Is he stealing soul water?"
Looking at the whole of Kyushu, soul-washing water can only be born in the soul pool. Before Lu Ye gave him half a bottle of soul-washing water, the butcher knew that the soul water came from the soul pool.
"Huh!" The city lord snorted coldly and turned to look at the butcher: "Tell me what to do! He is not from Xianyuan City. Logically speaking, he cannot enter the soul pool. Last time, the city lord wanted to help you get out of trouble.
, I have made an exception for him once. This time, you said that he was included in your team, so I let him go to the soul pool to cultivate. Now he has done such a shameless thing again. Tell me, I am
Should I slap him to death with one slap, or slap him to death with one slap after another?"
The Butcher sneered: "He did help our team complete the mission, and after we were all wiped out, he fought to the point where he was exhausted. There is no problem in being a non-staff member."
When the butcher brought Lu Ye back, the city lord was really surprised because he didn't expect Lu Ye to enter Xianyuan City at this time.
Later, I learned from the butcher how Lu Ye entered Xianyuan City.
This is why the city lord concluded that Lu Ye was the chosen one.
How could he enter Xianyuan City in that way if he was not the chosen one? Moreover, the timing of his entry was so clever, it was just when the Zerg attacked the city!
If he had come in at any other time, the entire Xianyuan City would have been completely silent. All the spirits would be sleeping in the soul pool, and Lu Ye would not be able to get any benefits.
But precisely because of the clever timing of his entry, even though the battle was exhausted, he also gained a lot of benefits.
However, as the city lord said, Lu Ye was not a monk from Xianyuan City. Logically speaking, he could not enter the soul pool. It was the butcher who made the decision and incorporated him into his team and became a non-staff member of his team. Only then did he let
The city lord opened his eyes and entered the soul pool to cultivate his soul.
But the butcher never expected that after Lu Ye woke up, he would immediately start stealing...
This made him a little embarrassed.
He mumbled and said, "If you really want to kill him, sir, just kill him!"
The city lord snorted coldly: "You think I don't know how to do it?"
The butcher chuckled: "Since you think he is the chosen one, why not give him a chance? Maybe he can really make it to the end. Don't blind men often talk about cause and effect? If we plant a cause today, maybe tomorrow
You can reap some fruits."
He was sure that the city lord would not really kill Lu Ye. Even the city lord himself had such thoughts. Otherwise, he would have stopped him as soon as he noticed Lu Ye's soul-stealing water. How could he be talking nonsense here?
Before becoming a spirit body, although he was a butcher in the city, he was also a man with a clever mind. How could he not see the thoughts of the city lord?
"Besides, he's only one person. Even if he steals some soul water, it won't reduce the foundation of the soul pool too much. It shouldn't be a big deal..."
The city lord stared at the soul-washing pool, the corners of his eyes twitching: "If you knew his methods, you wouldn't say that!"
Ordinary monks enter the soul pool. Even if they really have the means to condense soul water, the income will be limited after all. But what did that kid do? He actually made a huge funnel, and endless soul mist poured into it, and it quickly condensed into soul water.
He even saw Lu Ye making a water bag and placing it under a huge funnel, as if he wanted to fill the water bag!
unacceptable!
Even a major cultivator in the Divine Sea realm like the city lord who has survived for thousands of years can't help but feel a little panicked at this moment.
If you do this, the foundation of the soul pool will definitely be reduced a lot. The original soul pool will not be able to last for many years. Once the foundation is reduced, the time it can be maintained will only be shorter!
The butcher thought for a while and said, "But we can't let him get the soul water in vain. He should have gained a lot of military exploits by killing the insects this time. Sir, we can let him use his military exploits to obtain the corresponding amount of soul water."
The city lord was hesitating whether to stop Lu Ye. When the butcher said this, he nodded and said, "What a great idea!" He then asked worriedly, "How many military exploits has he achieved this time?"
"I don't know about this, but it should be at least tens of thousands."
Lu Ye had killed so many Zerg before and after, and he should have tens of thousands of military exploits.
But what the butcher didn't know was that Lu Ye's current military exploits were not just tens of thousands, but more than 300,000!
