Douluo: Emperor of Light

In the end, the city lord compromised.

So frustrated, so helpless.

The power of Wuhun Palace was not something that a small city lord like him could compete with. Even if it was just a request from a member of the law enforcement team, he had to consider it carefully.

Not to mention he has an absolutely perfect reason.

As long as Wuhun Palace asks the Count to thoroughly investigate this major incident, the Count will definitely get to the bottom of it. Even if he has great connections, he will at least be rated as incompetent and lose his position as the city lord.

Therefore, trying to make amends was the only thing he could do now.

Even if Wuhun Palace can only let Wuhun Palace hold him accountable and punish him lightly, it is still worth it.

"In a short period of time, these people are all the soul masters I can summon."

The city lord and Qingyang were walking outside, looking at these more than a hundred soul masters. As the other party said, these were all powerful soul masters of the second ring or above, and there were even more than 20 soul masters and two soul sects.

And all of them are in their prime, different from those old soul masters who have lost both energy and blood.

This kind of strength has already cost a lot of money.

Perhaps the city lord also understood that he could not escape this disaster and everything would have nothing to do with him.

As for why the city guards were not mobilized?

Because for this kind of small-scale battle, the soul master is obviously more suitable, and if there is not enough time, this is not realistic.

It would be bad if you just surrounded the village only to find it was an empty village.

"Very good, let's ask the city lord to lead the team to Leiden Village."

Qingyang turned around and asked softly as if he was confused:

"By the way, what should we do if we find an evil soul master there?"

When the city lord heard this, he immediately felt heart-wrenching pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I will annihilate them all. This is exactly my duty."

The city lord understood that if he went there, he would probably lose a lot of manpower. How could he not know what Leiden Village was like?

It’s simply the evil soul master’s nest!

I really shouldn't have resisted the temptation. It would have been better if I had reported them directly. I didn't think that even with the help of the Wuhun branch to cover up, the incident would still happen one day.

These soul masters in front of him are all his hard work. Not only did he bring all the forces he had attracted, but he also used some methods to bring over the soul masters from some families in the city.

It can be said that these people are where his power lies and are the foundation of his establishment in the County of Kosil. Such an action that has no profit at all is tantamount to hemorrhaging money.

Upon hearing this answer, Qingyang nodded with satisfaction.

Since soul masters have enjoyed the rights and interests for so many years, they should naturally bear certain responsibilities.

Taking advantage of this time, Qingyang and the others just took a short rest. He had a hunch that what was coming next was not over yet!

○

In Leiden Village, countless people are busy here, packing up the mission items saved over the years.

Their hands and feet are nimble, their speed is fast, and their work is orderly and neat, which is not at all like the standard that ordinary people can achieve.

If you have people with outstanding perceptual abilities, you will find that everyone in this ordinary village is a soul master!

"Retreat."

A slightly hoarse and indifferent voice reached Su Yu's ears.

Su Yu's hair was disheveled and his clothes were dirty. He was very different from his previous leisurely and natural appearance. He had given up many things in order to escape here.

Such as style, such as wealth, such as... father.

Su Yu looked at her, the woman in black robes with a strange mask on her face, a little unbelievable.

"What...did you just say?"

Su Yu asked again with uncertainty, hoping that it was just his auditory hallucination.

Did she just say retreat?

This departure means that the territory that the organization has managed for many years has finally been cut off by giving up and cutting off the hand it had finally extended.

It contains countless investments, connections, property, personnel, cherished resources... everything, all in vain!

You must know that it is unimaginably difficult to do this under the inspection of Wuhun Palace these days. It took two years to establish a stronghold in such a remote village!

Just say you don’t want it and don’t want it?

There is a part of their Su family in this!

"Do you need me to say it again? Leave some members behind to destroy the scene. The remaining members will take the collected life energy and retreat to the Star Forest."

The woman turned around, her face hidden under the mask was hard to see clearly.

If the person in front of her wasn't one of the few families related to their organization and had a great symbolic role, she would have killed this idiot who was worse than a monkey.

After Su Yu heard this sentence, his face showed unwillingness.

"Sir, why don't we eliminate those people? That way we don't have to rush and abandon a lot of supplies."

The woman looked at Su Yu as if she were an idiot.

If it weren't for you two idiots, would I have made such a decision as a strong man cutting off his wrist?

"This place has been exposed. Every minute of delay will allow Wuhun Palace reinforcements to arrive faster. Even if we win, it will only delay time. We don't have that many reinforcements."

Even though she was impatient, the woman still explained a little bit.

"But what you said does make sense. Those three members of the law enforcement team must be the genius seeds of Wuhun Palace at such a young age. If we can keep them here, our organization will be much better off in the future."

She seemed to mention it accidentally.

Su Yu's eyes lit up. Since he couldn't take away the accumulated wealth, it would not be a bad idea to kill his enemies.

But when he thought about the terrifying strength of the three of them, he flinched a little.

Forget it, as long as I live, there is still so much wealth and rewards of no use, let’s talk about things like revenge later.

With this thought in his mind, Su Yu had already made an excuse for himself:

"Let's forget it. The focus of our mission is just to bring the results back. Since it has been overfulfilled, it's better not to cause unnecessary complications."

The woman felt even more disdainful.

She walked outside the village. A team of the most elite teams was ready, carrying items handed over by the organization, waiting for her order.

"Now, move to the outer stronghold of the Star Dou Forest. This mission is considered completed."

After Heiyu finished speaking, she felt uneven soul power fluctuations coming from the distance, and knew that the enemy had arrived and could not be delayed any longer.

Leiden Village has been destroyed, and the Wuhun Palace should be quiet for a while.

As long as there is no problem with the stronghold in the Star Dou Forest, everything is still acceptable. After all, there is an important experimental subject there.

"This time, you win for the time being."

The woman finally looked in the direction of Nuoer City and left in the opposite direction without turning her head.
