I just want to live well but I surpass the protagonist.

"I won't let you succeed." Lin Wei was a ruthless person and did not want to be Ye Yong's burden, so she was immediately ready to commit suicide. However, as her spiritual power could not be used, the strength in her body was quickly withdrawn, and she soon couldn't even support herself to sit up.

"Stop doing useless work. This poison can knock down even the transformed spirit, not to mention you are just Nascent Soul." The maid came to Lin Wei and leaned over to look at her: "Don't worry, we plan to invite you mother and son to be guests. Won't hurt you."

Lin Wei was speechless, but before she passed out, she still glared at him fiercely.

"She is a woman who holds a grudge." The maid carried Lin Wei on her back to eliminate the smell on the road and continued walking towards the north wall. Soon she came to a side door that should have been closed.

"So fast?" The guard was a little stunned when he saw the maid and the person on her back.

"I was originally worried about what excuse I should find to lure her away alone, but I didn't expect that she would come to the door by herself." The maid laughed.

"Very good. We have captured the Holy Word's mother. When the time comes to attack the city, we can threaten him and ask him not to interfere."

There is no doubt that these people are undercover agents planted by the demonic forces outside. If they were to say what they feared most when they attacked the city, it had to be the Holy Word.

The city defense formation only takes some time to break open, but if the Holy Word releases the Holy Word before it is broken open, it will affect the city defense formation, making it stronger and making it more difficult to attack the city. Or during the siege, if the Holy Word's grace is released in the city, then the monsters in the city will become stronger, which will increase the casualty rate of the forces outside the city.

As for why they could know that Ye Wu was Ye Yong and Lin Wei was his mother, it was very simple.

Some monks from the Kunlun Realm were eager for something to happen to Ye Yong. When the Holy Word came out, they loudly claimed that the Holy Word was Ye Yong. Seeing that the three families of Ye, Liang, and Qin were trying their best to refute the rumors, they secretly released Ye Yong's portrait. , over time, it spread to the Northern Cold Continent, and the great master of the demon clan changed from hearing the name Ye Yong to seeing his portrait.

But this does not include the demon clan inside Lion Forest City, because Lion Forest City has been troubled by external and internal troubles this month, and there are many contradictions. The internal high-level officials have no time to do things outside the city. In addition, external forces deliberately prevent and conceal the Holy Word. It is naturally impossible for the portrait to flow into Lion Forest City, otherwise Lin Wei would be heavily protected the moment she entered the city.

The first element before starting a war is to use the information gap as much as possible to create an advantage for one's side. The monsters outside the city are all experienced.

After Lin Wei was taken out, the guard closed the side door firmly. He was looking forward to whether the Holy Prophet would mistakenly think that it was some high-level person who had caused the disappearance of his mother in Lion Forest City, and then have a dispute.

The more chaotic the interior of Shilin City is, the more advantageous it will be to attack the city from outside.

Xicheng District

Ye Qingwu received the news from Man Xiang, and not long after that, he came to the gate of the base to wait for Lin Wei. However, more than an hour later, there was still no sign of Lin Wei, and Ye Qingwu suddenly had a bad feeling.

It was absolutely impossible to get lost. Even if Lin Wei was alone, she could get to Xicheng District just by asking for directions, not to mention having the maid from the City Lord's Mansion to lead the way.

"Could it be Kuang Po Lou? But he and Ye Yong have never had an open conflict. What good will it do to him to target Lin Wei?" Ye Qing Wu frowned slightly. The current situation in Shilin City was worse than she originally thought. Too bad, especially the inner-city conflicts.

"Miss, do you need to send your subordinates to find her?" Coco asked.

"It's best not to." Bai Cui shook her head: "Only a small number of the spies who sneaked into the city have been caught. Sending our demons out to look for them at this time will not only aggravate the chaos in the city, but may also fall into the trap of the spies. To sow discord between us and Shilin City.”

"What should the man named Ye do after he comes back?" Although Coco doesn't like Ye Yong, she also knows that this guy is really weird. Although his cultivation level is not high, he can always influence the thoughts of powerful people. It's no wonder that his lady would value him so much.

"Tell him the truth. Anyway, we have to stand still until we find out whether Lin Wei is alive and who the other party is."

Bai Cui is worthy of being the think tank among Ye Qing Wu's maids. She is very calm and analyzes things well, which is almost the same as what Ye Qing Wu thinks.

But after all, Ye Qingwu had spent some time with Lin Wei, and she liked Lin Wei quite a lot. Reason was one thing, and emotion was another. Moreover, she didn't want Ye Yong to be disappointed and felt that she was indifferent to the disappearance of his mother.

I originally planned to wait for the good news about Ye Yong Shengyan's success, but now I have to tell him bad news first.

"Except for Ye Yong, this matter will be kept secret. If anyone asks, just say that Lin Wei is resting with us. If anyone insists on seeing her, it is probably the mastermind behind the scenes who wants to expose our lies and see our panic. "Ye Qingwu put on the veil: "Baicui, come with me to see if there are any clues on the road she may have walked."

"Yes." Although Bai Cui is a flower demon, she is naturally extremely sensitive to smells and is good at tracking.

"Keke, you stay here. If Ye Yong comes back while we are out, tell him not to be too anxious."

"clear."

In the evening, Ye Yong and the others returned to Shilin City. With Niyu's current cultivation level, it was easy to hide the aura of the group from being discovered.

"It's only been a month, and the city has become lifeless. What happened? I didn't see anyone attacking Shilin City." Songsong looked around curiously. In the past, the gate was very lively, with carriages coming in. There are only a few of them now, and there are no pedestrians or vendors on the street.

"The Eight Great Cities and those aristocratic families were originally fighting for territory and fighting to the death. They were just worried about the rise of our Lion City, so they had to join forces to eliminate the hidden dangers first. This does not mean that they have put aside their conflicts and hatred. They must have their own plans. I want to attack the city with the lowest cost." Niyu used magic to change his youthful appearance to his previous appearance, lowered his voice and pretended to be old and hoarse: "And attacking a city is most deadly from the inside. If we are in a downturn, we will not be able to use our full strength to defend the city.”

"Master Niyu's current cultivation level should be the highest in the Northern Cold Continent, right? Now go to the other eight cities and those aristocratic families to show your strength. Won't they retreat and stop doing evil in secret? "Songsong can't understand what Niyu is doing now. It's as if he's waiting for them to attack the city. Isn't it good to solve the problem without using weapons?

Niyu patiently explained: "Shilin City used to not be as prosperous as it is now. It was only because of Guren's father who carved a niche for himself and attracted many followers that the city became what it is today. So here's the question, old man The city lord is the link that maintains those followers. After his death, the interior of Shilin City has become a piece of scattered sand. If you do what you said, the crisis will indeed be resolved soon, but the interior of Shilin City will still remain unchanged. Given time. , and a new crisis arises, the conflict will inevitably break out again.”

Hearing this, Songsong seemed to understand a little bit: "So, Lord Niyu, are you going to take this opportunity to eliminate the unsteady guys and let Shilin City be reborn from the ashes?"

Niyu nodded: "Although taking this path will make Shilin City weak, this is the only way to make it truly strong."
