Chapter 237 Civil strife in Yongze City

On the border of Yangkui region, Yongze City.

Ever since Lu Ya led half of the monks in the city to rush to the battlefield, Yongze City had closed the city gates under Lu Dingbo's arrangement and opened the city defense formation at all times to prevent all hidden dangers from entering the city.

"It's been more than half a month."

Lu Dingbo stood under the eaves, looking at the sky that looked dark and gloomy because of the continuous rain. Because of his frown, he looked much older.

"Dingbo, stop reading, go back to the house and take a rest."

A gentle female voice sounded from behind Lu Dingbo. Wang Shuiyao, the mother of the Lu clan and Lu Dingbo's wife, who was born in the Aoki Wang clan, came to Lu Dingbo's side with distressed eyes.

"It doesn't matter. There is nothing I need to deal with in the city now. The only thing I look forward to now is that Ya'er can return safely."

Lu Dingbo waved his hands and spoke in a low voice.

"Are we really going to leave here?" Wang Shuiyao looked at everything around him with some reluctance, "It took a lot of effort to settle down."

Lu Dingbo looked at her, saw the reluctance in her eyes, and then explained: "If Ya'er can't come back, we have to leave here. The interests represented by a city are too great.

It is just a cultivation city located on the border, and there are top sects in the cultivation world such as Wuhua Tianbao Pavilion and Qianfeng Sect. Moreover, their leaders can chat and laugh happily with me, a monk in the early stage of foundation building.

All this is because our Lu family is the controller of this city. To be precise, it is because Lu Ya is the lord of this city. "

"If Ya'er is really..." Lu Dingbo paused for a moment, and then spoke with difficulty: "If Ya'er really encounters misfortune, we, the Lu family, cannot occupy this place just by building a foundation.

Apart from anything else, how do you think our in-law family, the Li family, will feel at that time? You must know that they are still in the late stage of foundation building, and a lack of moral integrity will only bring disaster. "

"I understand, I'm just a little reluctant to let go." Wang Shuiyao patted Lu Dingbo's arm gently, indicating that she understood.

"I'm sorry for you, husband. When the beast tide came, I didn't go to the Qingmu Wang Family to find out what was going on." Lu Dingbo sighed, his eyes full of pain.

Wang Shuiyao pressed her fingers hard, and the veins bulged slightly: "The situation was critical at that time. We, the Lu family, couldn't protect ourselves. How could we have the strength to cross a hundred miles? Besides, the Wang family was not weak at the time, and there was hope of escaping."

"Hey" Lu Dingbo sighed again, "This is the tragedy of our Weimo family. Perhaps we can only avoid it by becoming a real Jindan family or even a Yuanying family."

"I hope Ya'er can return safely."

"There were several riots in the city today. Many monks clamored for the city gates to be opened. They want to go out to make a living. They said they would starve to death if they were closed any longer. I suspect that someone was planning this behind the scenes."

In Lu Dingbo's training room, Lu Dinghai said angrily.

Lu Dingbo took a sip of tea and asked, "What else?"

"Also, many mortals in the city came to see the city lord today, saying that they wanted to ask the city lord to uphold justice."

After speaking, Lu Dinghai sneered: "What kind of justice is this? You just want to force me to wait."

"Well, is there anything else?"

"No, everything else is just trivial things." Lu Dinghai replied.

Lu Dingbo stopped asking questions, Lu Dinghai stopped speaking, and the quiet room fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Lu Dinghai asked worriedly: "Brother, it's been almost a month, and there's still no news about Ya'er?"

Lu Dingbo shook his head: "That is the Yinkui battlefield, far beyond our reach. Now I just hope that Ya'er can protect himself and not act impulsively."

"I'm not worried about this. Ya'er is quite calm and reserved, and he's not a fool. He won't be a show-off." Compared to Lu Dingbo's worries, Lu Dinghai understood Lu Ya's character very well. .

"Ahem, brother, the unknown late-stage foundation-building monk in the city is quite powerful. He has gathered a large number of monks under him. If the city protection formation was not still in our hands, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to return this time. coming."

Lu Dinghai looked pale and coughed up a few drops of blood as he spoke. He was obviously seriously injured.

Lu Dingbo's eyes were uncertain, but he finally made up his mind.

"There is going to be chaos in the city. Li Xiaozhi has announced a retreat at this time. The meaning is thought-provoking. We can't wait any longer. More than a month has passed. According to Ya'er's agreement at that time, we will leave this eternal place tonight. Let’s go to Zecheng.”

"Have you decided, brother?" Lu Dinghai raised his head and looked at Lu Dingbo.

Lu Dingbo nodded heavily and said: "I have already made the arrangements as soon as possible and can set off at any time. Without further ado, please pass on the news."

After saying that, Lu Dingbo turned his head and looked to the west, where was the Li family's clan.

"As for the Yongze City Lord, let whoever is willing to do it do it."

That night, outside the Lu clan's territory, a large group of monks crowded the open space outside the Lu clan's territory and filled it with water.

"Li, what do you mean?"

Lu Dinghai's eyes almost burst into flames as he glared at an arrogant male monk at the front of the crowd opposite.

Unexpectedly, facing Lu Dinghai's questioning, the male cultivator didn't feel anything at all. He just said with a false expression: "It's not that I want to disturb Patriarch Lu's rest, but the brothers below me really have no choice. If this city doesn't open again, We would all starve to death.

No, I can only shamelessly ask to see Patriarch Yifan Lu and ask him to show mercy and open the city gate. "

After the words fell, the male cultivator surnamed Li suddenly had a hard expression on his face and said sternly: "If not, don't blame me for waiting for you!"

"So what if you are not polite?" Lu Dingbo pushed aside the crowd, his tone was calm and majestic, and he looked at the monks outside the clan-protecting formation.

"Of course we will sit here. We will not leave until Chief Lu agrees to open the city gate."

"Li Duande, how dare you!" Lu Dinghai shouted.

Talking about waiting is just rhetoric. This is clearly blocking the door. After tonight, regardless of whether the city gate is open or not, Lu's face will be completely ruined.

Lu Dinghai was about to rush out of the formation and have a fight with the opponent, but he was stopped by Lu Dingbo, "Don't be impulsive, you have three levels of foundation building, and the other side has eight levels of foundation building, and you have already suffered at his hands." , no matter how he is his opponent, it will only increase casualties."

"Then are we just going to watch the other party step on our Lu family's face like this?" Lu Dinghai's eyes almost erupted with actual flames, light red mana transpired from his body surface, and his muscles were as thick as rocks.

Behind him, Lu Feng, Lu Yuan and other tribesmen who had mastered the Xuanyang Qi Jue also exuded fiery reddish mana, and they were all ready to fight the opponent.
