A few days ago, there would have been a verbal conflict between the two forces, and Duan Po would have stepped forward to persuade them to prevent people from being distracted, but it was different today.
Perhaps what Wang Laoliu and his group did was too much, or perhaps Duanpo had other ideas in his mind. At this time, he stood quietly at the top of the city and allowed the two parties to quarrel without stopping them.
Wang Laoliu's expression changed. He dared to be so arrogant because he recognized the current situation and did not dare to be rude to himself. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to cutting off an arm. But today's situation has changed.
Wang Laoliu could see that even if he gave the order to leave this place with his monks, Duan Po would not try to dissuade him with any earnest words.
"Good boy, are you ready to kill the donkey? Do you really think that a few disciples from the Seven Great Immortal Sects will be able to support you?"
Wang Laoliu was stared at by countless disgusted eyes and felt uncomfortable all over. He forcibly raised his momentum and yelled at Duan Po and Lin Mingyuan.
"I'm telling you, if it weren't for our brothers guarding the east gate, we would have been breached by the beast tide long ago!"
"You must give our brother an answer today, otherwise we will leave!"
He was threatening, but in his heart he was determined that he would not dare to let him leave. He had three to four hundred monks with him, all of whom had gathered after entering the Demon Eye. Once he left, at least 30% of the city's combat power would be lost.
There was hesitation in Duan Po's eyes. It was obvious that Wang Laoliu's words had successfully grasped his weakness. Once he loses this fighting power, it will become more difficult to resist the beast tide.
Wang Laoliu showed a successful smile on his face. He knew that Duan Po would compromise because of the overall situation. Each of these seven disciples of the Immortal Sect was more hypocritical than the last, but that was all.
He turned around and no longer paid attention to the angry gazes of the monks on the city wall. He led his men to deal with it casually and left the matter of death to those fools.
Just when Wang Laoliu was feeling proud, he suddenly felt locked by an extremely sharp divine consciousness, and his whole body stiffened.
He slowly turned his head. This breath was not something Duanpo could send out. Could it be him?
Lin Mingyuan stood at the top of the city. Although he did not take out his weapon, his whole body was like an unsheathed sword, firmly locking Wang Laoliu's energy.
Wang Laoliu had no doubt that as long as he said one more thing, Lin Mingyuan would attack him, and he would never be able to resist.
This is the experience he has gained from being around for many years, so Wang Laoliu can easily grasp Duan Po's weak point, subconsciously telling him that he cannot afford to offend the sword cultivator in front of him!
"Let him go."
Although this voice was soft, it instantly rang in the ears of every monk in the city. Lin Mingyuan just stood there, but it could not be ignored.
"You...what did you say?"
Wang Laoliu seemed to be unable to believe his ears. He turned around and pointed at Lin Mingyuan with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Boy, are you crazy! If I hadn't led people to guard the east of the city, this poor place would have been lost long ago!"
"Don't you understand?"
Lin Mingyuan sighed.
"Then let me put it bluntly, get out!"
Lin Mingyuan's scolding shocked everyone on the city wall. Even Duan Po was a little surprised and looked at Lin Mingyuan with scruples in his eyes.
Although he disliked Wang Laoliu and his group very much, the other party was right. Without this new force, the situation would become even worse.
"Boy, think about it carefully. Do you know what you are talking about?"
Wang Laoliu was so angry that his mouth almost twisted. Although he kept threatening to take it away, he didn't dare to do so in his heart.
With the overwhelming beast tide, where could he lead hundreds of monks to go? It would be better to have a scapegoat in the city to be more secure.
"Senior Brother Lin, this is not good..."
Duan Po asked in a low voice, really unsure of what to do.
"It's okay."
Lin Mingyuan gave him a reassuring look. He probably already understood the situation. Wang Laoliu was a thorn in the side. If he stayed here, he would just be a time bomb. It would be better to get rid of him earlier.
He looked at the monks around him. Everyone had indignation on their faces. It was obvious that they had long been dissatisfied with Wang Laoliu and his party.
"Fellow Taoists, I know that everyone tolerates Wang Laoliu because of the overall situation. However, given his temperament, it is inevitable that he will not take action against his own people when resisting the beast tide."
Lin Mingyuan said calmly. As soon as these words came out, many people around him suddenly became angry.
"That's right! That bastard Wang Laoliu personally pushed my junior brother into the beast tide just to survive!"
"That's right, and my senior sister. They were all resisting the beast tide, but he and his people ran away first, causing the senior sister and the others to die on the spot. This old man should have died long ago!"
Everyone's emotions could no longer be controlled. What Wang Laoliu did was no different from the devil. Staying at the city gate would not only make no contribution but would even be counterproductive.
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
The monks at the top of the city shouted one after another. At first it was a few people, but later more people joined in, forcing Wang Laoliu and his party to retreat step by step.
"Duanpo, you have to think about it. What will you do to defend the city when I leave?"
Wang Laoliu was so angry that he did not expect that such a big change would happen after Lin Mingyuan arrived. Even Duan Po, who always focused on the overall situation, changed his attitude.
Duan Po looked at Lin Mingyuan, obviously asking for his opinion. Since he fell into the beast tide, he has been under too much pressure.
"Let him go. I will lead people to guard the east gate."
Lin Mingyuan said calmly, and Ning Hentian and the three people behind him also nodded. They supported Lin Mingyuan's decision unconditionally.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Senior Brother Lin."
Duan Po's face showed joy. He had long disliked Wang Laoliu. With Du Ze's promise, he finally felt relieved.
"Wang Laoliu, take your people and leave. Haven't you always wanted to break out? Now I won't stop you."
Duan Po made a decision in his heart and his tone gradually became cold.
The corners of Wang Laoliu's mouth twitched. He wanted to stay shamelessly, but seeing the angry expressions of the monks on the top of the city, he knew in his heart that it was impossible.
At this moment, Wang Laoliu wished he could slap himself in the face. Why did he have to be so stubborn? Now he was involved.
"Boss, I think this is our opportunity!"
A younger brother next to him leaned into Wang Laoliu's ear in a sly manner.
"Look, the tide of beasts from the east is coming soon. We don't know whether we will live or die if we stay here. We might as well go out through the west gate. Maybe there is a way to survive!"
Wang Laoliu was stunned for a moment. He was greedy for life and afraid of death. Now that the monks headed by Lin Mingyuan wanted to drive him away, it might not be a bad thing.
Instead of staying here waiting for death and slowly entering despair, it is better to go out and find a way out, and maybe break through the siege of the beast tide.
No matter how bad it is, he still has a group of subordinates.
Wang Laoliu's eyes were spinning, he had done this kind of thing of betraying his brothers a lot.
"Okay! Since you are so merciless, I, Wang Laoliu, am not a coward!"
"Brothers, if you are willing to go out with me, the sixth one, come forward!"
