Chapter 1264 The envoy from Wuwei City comes to pay a visit to the Lord of Sihuo City!
Gu Xiu knew all the companions who came to the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin, but if he were to say he was really familiar with them, he would say he was only close to a few of the Sword Saint's personal disciples. Although they were not from the same sect, their relationship was not particularly close.
Not to mention the other three prodigies.
As for Xue Wuyai, Gu Xiu had almost no personal relationship with him. The only thing he knew was that Xue Wuyai was a prodigy of the Northern Demon Realm and a reclusive successor of the Blood Fiend Sect. Even when Gu Xiu was in the Northern Demon Realm, he had never met Xue Wuyai.
However, there are many rumors circulating about this person.
The most common rumor is that this person is ruthless, cold and unpredictable, not good with words and capricious.
But now.
This genius on the list of prodigies of the vast human race, however, has a somewhat pitiful appearance.
He was covered in blood, the original color of his robes was no longer visible, only some clotted blood red remained, his face was ashen white, his cultivation must have been suppressed, and he was tied to a flagpole and hung high up like a dead dog.
People below were mocking and hurling insults.
Some children were even throwing stones at him.
In addition, if something like a demon attacking the city were to happen, Xue Wuyai would definitely become a sitting duck for the demon and be the first person to die.
awful.
It's too awful.
Surprisingly, on the city wall where he was hanging, there was a woman in a bright red dress who was desperately trying to stop the children throwing stones, and even tried to rush up and put Xue Wuya down.
Although she was stopped by the soldiers, this woman's identity was clearly unusual, and even with such a commotion, no one dared to actually hurt her.
The woman, however, had tears in her eyes the whole time, and when she occasionally glanced at Xue Wuyai, her gaze was filled with heartbreak and worry.
"This kid was completely useless before, but he managed to hook up with a girl while he was being kept in suspense?" Sui Xing was shocked, and then began to berate Gu Xiu:
“Gu boy, look at yourself, and then look at others.”
"You tell me, how can Xue Wuyai compare to you? He's not as good-looking as you, and he's not as skilled in cultivation as you, yet he still manages to hook up with young girls. As for you, you only have Xiao Nange and Xiao Xiangling, and things are still unclear between you."
"I think you need to seriously reflect on this issue."
Gu Xiu, who was observing the situation: ...
He didn't understand why this matter was related to him.
He ignored Sui Xing's incessant chatter and silently noted down the information he had gleaned:
"That woman in the red dress must be of high status, and her cultivation level is also quite high. She is at least a sixth-level Divine Path expert, and she has also practiced body refinement, and her physical strength is not weak."
"The city defense force of Sihuo City is not weak overall. The young generals leading the troops are all at the peak of the sixth level of the Divine Path. The other soldiers are of different levels of Divine Path, but most of them are physical cultivators. There are no ordinary people who are truly powerless."
“Besides these people, there are also auras of the eighth level of the Divine Path in the distance, at the location of the Marshal’s Mansion, and there is more than one person.”
"It seems that its overall strength is much greater than that of Wuwei City."
This result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Compared to Wuwei City, which is an independent city, Sihuo City at least has a designated owner.
Si Huo City is one of the four cities under Nan Jun's control. Given its central location, it faces a greater challenge than Wu Wei City in terms of both the number and strength of the evil demons it encounters. Moreover, it has the support of the other three cities.
It's not surprising that they are stronger.
As for Wuwei City, not to mention the losses incurred by the two recent attacks by the evil demons and the betrayal of the loyal and brave general, Wuwei City has always been suppressed and its development has been hindered. It is quite normal that it is not as strong as Wuwei City.
"Gu boy, what do we do next?"
"Although this Sihuo City is in chaos right now, the rules must be strict. How are we going to sneak in and rescue people?"
Sui Xing pressed for details.
With the three masks gone, Gu Xiu can still use transformation techniques. Although with Gu Xiu's strength, those below the Supreme level can hardly see through his transformation methods, who knows if there are any techniques in the Divine Path? He's a bit uncertain.
More importantly, this time Gu Xiu wasn't alone; Shi Siling was also with him, which made Sui Xing a little uneasy.
Gu Xiu was also pondering how to enter the city and how to rescue Xue Wuyai.
Although he and Xue Wuyai were not very familiar with each other, they had come to the Three Realms Sea of Sin after all, and the fact that the Sword Saint had chosen him to participate in this trip to the Three Realms Sea of Sin proved that Xue Wuyai was a reliable person.
We absolutely cannot stand by and watch someone die.
"enough!"
Just as I was thinking, a roar suddenly came from the city, and then a woman who looked somewhat like the girl in the red dress walked out.
The man was clad in silver armor with a fiery red silk lining. Gu Xiu recognized him the moment he appeared.
The Lord of Sihuo City.
The Fire of the Snake (巳火公).
Although she was called a duke, she was actually a woman and one of the few female city lords among the twelve cities of Ziwei.
Because of the arrival of Lord Si Huo, everyone at the city gate bowed and paid their respects. The girl in the red dress was pulling and tugging, basically pleading for Xue Wuya and hoping that her mother would release him.
Yes, they are mother and daughter.
However, the girl in the red dress's demands were clearly not going to be met, and she was even reprimanded.
"Nonsense!"
Lord Si Huo's expression was extremely stern: "This man is a spy from Hao Yu who infiltrated my Three Palaces, and he is also someone that Lord Nan ordered to kill. You are pleading for him, do you want my Si Huo City to bear the crime of disobeying imperial orders?"
"But Mother..."
"Guards! Take the young lady back. No one is to release her without my order!" Before the girl in the red dress could finish speaking, Lord Si Huo had already given the order.
With the girl in the red dress being taken away, the commotion at the city gate finally came to an end.
Gu Xiu noticed.
Before the city lord came out, a group of people with holy flames embroidered on their bodies were watching gleefully from a distance. Even the children who had thrown stones at Xue Wuyai earlier were brought by that group.
The city lord of Si Huo frowned slightly at the behavior of those people, but only slightly, and then greeted them politely.
Then they approached the leader and asked him something in a humble tone.
Because both sides were quite powerful, Gu Xiu didn't hear what they were saying, but he could tell that the leader of the group with the sacred flame tattoos had no respect for the City Lord of Si Huo; on the contrary, he was full of arrogance.
Even though the city lord of Si Huo looked unpleasant.
But they dared not offend them.
"Judging from this, this group of people should be from the Holy Fire Palace. Tsk tsk tsk, although these people are directly under the command of Nan Jun, to put it bluntly, they should only hold nominal positions in the city. As for Si Huo Gong, as the city lord, he should be a powerful figurehead, but why does it feel like he is being completely controlled?"
Sui Xing clicked his tongue, his tone somewhat gloating.
During this time, since Gu Xiu was cultivating in the Dao, Sui Xing had nothing better to do, so she inquired about a lot of information about the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin and learned quite a bit about her neighbor, Si Huo City.
Because back then, Shattered Star regarded all these neighbors as imaginary enemies, and now that it seems they are not harmonious among themselves, he is naturally happy.
They wished they could fight to the death themselves.
She even suggested to Gu Xiu that if all else fails, they could wait until night and secretly intervene when no one was looking to save Xue Wuyai.
However, Gu Xiu shook his head directly at this suggestion.
“If I didn’t know about the matter of the Silent Venerable, I might have been happy for them to fight amongst themselves. But now that the Silent Venerable has appeared, and I even feel that he is related to the Immortal Emperor, I’m afraid I can’t let them kill each other like this.”
"So what do you plan to do? You don't really intend for me to impersonate Sui Xuchu and unify Ziwei Yuan, do you?"
"Why not?" Gu Xiu asked with a smile.
Sui Xing sighed helplessly, "These people in Ziwei Yuan aren't that sentimental. You don't really expect someone to help you just because you're some old codger who died 30,000 years ago, do you?"
"Of course that won't do, but we still have to tear off the tiger skin."
After Gu Xiu finished speaking, without waiting for Sui Xing to say anything more, he immediately deactivated the invisibility function on the flying boat and then controlled the flying boat to descend straight down.
As he fell, he shouted loudly:
"An envoy from Wuwei City has come to pay his respects to the City Lord of Sihuo!"
