Liangzhou, Long County City.

Hong Yu rode at top speed and arrived in Long County City in just four to five hours.

Although the prefectural city of Long had fallen and become a devil cave, the capital city was still well-preserved and had yet to be broken through by the demonic sects.

However, the scars on the bricks on the walls were clearly telling everyone that a fierce battle had just occurred here not too long ago.

On top of the city wall, there were a large number of stone slabs and rolling logs as well as crossbow beds, artillery, five steps each, ten steps each. On top of the city wall, a large number of stone slabs and rolling wood, as well as a number of crossbow beds, artillery, five steps each, ten steps each.

This kind of defense seemed powerful, but in Hong Yu's opinion, it was completely useless. He had no way to guard against experts infiltrating and robbing camps to kill them.

For example, an expert like the Blood-Thirsty Barbarian Ape had broken free from two shackles and possessed formidable mental strength. He came and left without a trace, and without an equivalent expert holding the fort, it would be impossible to guard against him.

A large number of fanatical believers from the cult have even occupied more than half of the sixteen counties surrounding Dragon County City. Right now, we have snuck back into the city, but in reality, we have snuck back into the encirclement, and the entire city is in danger. There are not many experts under my command, so we need to split up our forces to protect you, Duke Yu. As for the Void Daoist, he is also a Divine level expert of the Spiritual Martial Force. If we carry out assassinations, it would be impossible to guard against, so you must be careful as well, Duke Yu. "

"The Lifeless Sect. Were the two sects really that powerful? It actually caused the situation to become so chaotic? " Hong Yu looked at the combat maps on the table, the real-time combat reports, and the various information on evil sects. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he felt as if his head was about to explode.

Not only that, once the cult launched an attack, assassinate the high-ranking officers, and then launch an attack on the citizens, in a blink of an eye, the entire territory of the seventeen prefectures would fall. When the enemy killed people and refined pills, the power would only grow stronger and stronger, and with this change, even the current Long County City would be under attack.

If he were to lose the capital of a country, there would definitely be many people attacking and impeaching him.

Previously, under Li Mu Yue's pressure, his brain heated up and took on this job. Now that he thought about it, his intestines turned green, and if he did not take on this job, he could stay out of trouble. But now that he had taken on this job, if he did not do it well, and the situation became even more intense, he would definitely die.

"Duke Yu, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. This official will follow your lead. If I fail to handle the errands this time, I will die without a doubt, and you will also be implicated." The county governor's eyes turned red as he anxiously fell to his knees with a 'plop'.

"Alright, you don't have to show your loyalty. I can see the situation better than you. How many experts do you have under your command?" Hong Yu began to silently calculate.

"I only have three Spirit realm martial artists under me who have two Earth Terminus Aura, seven or eight perfect Mortal Realm martial artists, and thirty or forty martial artists who are at the third level of the Mortal Realm." The County Governor of Long County calculated each and every one of them. "Actually, these people were hired by me for a huge sum and are not of much use. Now that the county is in chaos, there are either people fleeing or dying. There is no one to use them." However, I am also a martial artist at the great circle of the Mortal Realm.

Normally, these experts would easily suppress local people when faced with local affairs. However, these experts from the Demonic Sect and the barbarian race were far from being enough.

"Why didn't Hong Futian personally exterminate the evil? If this matter is suppressed, not only will the territory under our rule be more secure, we will also be able to reap a large amount of rewards. " Hong Yu's voice even changed as he became deep and his eyes shone with a fierce light.

"Actually, the King of Heaven didn't have the heart to care about this matter. He had been running all over the place, collecting supplies for the barbarian army that would come next year, and by the time he had reacted, the situation had already become complicated, involving the priests of the Three Barbarian Kings, as well as the faint shadows of the Evil Gods of Hell. They are waiting for the Emperor to personally invade the Two Realms Mountain, then these demons and monsters will all be exterminated. " The county governor explained.

"Idiot!" Hong Yu cursed loudly, his anger soaring.

He could already see that in reality, Hong Futian did not dare to make a move. He was afraid that if he faced off against an expert from the cult, he would be defeated and taken advantage of by the other princes.

How could the people of this country have self-interest in front of righteousness?

Hong Futian was a fool. If his actions were to be spread out, no matter how capable he was, he would still provoke the wrath of the Hong Wu Emperor. He would be demoted to the mortal world and be stripped of his authority.

However, he had heard a lot about the seriousness of the situation from the county governor of Long County.

Why would Hong Fu Tian say 'strictly guard against injury'?

In reality, he was just not confident.

To eradicate the seventeen prefectures of evil, to suppress the civil strife, and to ensure the future of the barbarian army without worry, what kind of achievement was this? It was impossible for Hong Futian to not be tempted, but even he did not dare to act rashly.

Furthermore, he had been operating in Liang Prefecture for many years. His foundation was powerful and deeply rooted, and these things could be seen from just a quick glance at the banquet. Even he didn't dare to make a move, so what confidence did Hong Yu have?

"Looks like the two great evil sects, Vacuum and Lifeless, are in chaos. They must have come with fierce momentum. I wonder how many evil experts have been gathered here. There are even some experts like Second Brother who even need to fear them …" Hong Yu was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He felt that he had been ruthlessly tricked by Li Muyue, surrounded by the evil cult, guarding a lonely city alone, and even had an endless crisis as a service.

But on the other hand, when he thought about the fact that Li Muyue had to face the pressure of the other sixteen counties by herself, the number of experts from the cult was truly endless. Even though the Iron-Blood Marquis and the Li family were behind her to share the pressure, they were still facing many difficulties, and it was no easier than his.

His fighting spirit was ignited once more, and he ordered, "In fact, considering the truth, what you have done before is not too excessive. If you can make amends for your crimes, after this matter is over, I might be able to ask the imperial court for your help and write off the debt, but you have to do as I say, first of all, get the soldiers guarding the city to pay attention to the unusual situation around them, and not let any problems occur in the capital of Longzhou. As for the matter of exterminating evil and counterattacking, I also need to think of gathering some experts to help."

"Summon experts to help?" The county governor was stunned but remained calm. He knew that Hong Yu was not as simple as he looked and that there was definitely a force backing him.

There wasn't a single prince that was simple. Hong Yu had been hibernating for five years, playing the fool. In just a short half year, he had climbed up to the position of a prefecture lord at a speed unprecedented in history.

"Alright, you can go now. Take care of all the military matters." Hong Yu waved his hand.

"Yes sir!" County Governor Long did not dare stay any longer. He quietly retreated.

He walked to a secluded spot in the shadows and a few experts came out without a sound. They slowly knelt down and said, "Lord County Governor, do you have any instructions?"

"Send all the information related to Prefecture Lord Yu to the Heavenly King for him to make the necessary arrangements." County Governor Long heaved a long sigh. "Sigh, I'm now completely immersed in the devil's lair, but I have no choice but to accompany Duke Yu to hell. If something were to happen to him, perhaps even the Sky King wouldn't be able to save me.

Hong Yu was inside the study room, his brows locked together as he slowly walked forward.

The surroundings were completely silent. This mansion was only half abandoned, and its defenses were insufficient. Hong Yu was currently thinking about something in his study and wasn't afraid of being disturbed.

"Long Crane Tian is moving troops from the Twin Realms Mountain. His father, the Duke of Long Crane, is indeed a strong supporter. However, far away water cannot quench my thirst. Right now, I'm in danger, so I need to find some experts to protect me. "Jiang Lisha set off earlier than me. He should have already arrived at Liangzhou. It's about time he contacted me." He thought about it carefully in his mind. Suddenly, his mind shook and he had a mysterious feeling — someone was approaching him.

When he raised his head, he could smell a fragrant wind drifting towards him. Surprisingly, there was another person in the room.

A dragon that could not be seen!

It was none other than Jiang Li Shuo.
