Chapter 1632: Chapter 1322: Old Fool, Are You Really Going to Go to War With This City Lord Over a Few Ants?
Purple Moon City, City Lord’s Mansion.
Jia Wenrui was still cultivating in the secret chamber when suddenly his heart throbbed violently, causing the Immortal Aura within him to become agitated.
Jia Wenrui quickly ended his cultivation, calming the Immortal Aura within him. At that moment, the voice of the Personal Guard Commander came through.
"City Lord, there is a major commotion in White Feather City!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Wenrui immediately rose from the ground. In the next moment, he arrived in the council hall, and the Personal Guard Commander also instantly appeared there.
Jia Wenrui looked at the Personal Guard Commander and asked, "What did White Feather City do?"
The Personal Guard Commander replied, "Lu Zhengze is leading troops towards Purple Moon City. They claim we killed White Feather City’s soldiers and are here for revenge."
Hearing this, Jia Wenrui was momentarily taken aback.
He had indeed killed a few soldiers, one of whom was a trusted aide of the White Feather City Lord’s Mansion, but how did White Feather City find out?
But it didn’t matter; knowing is knowing. The other party actually dared to come attack him. Did Lu Zhengze really believe that with him and Liao Xiaoshuang, two Heavenly Immortals nearing their limits, they could capture Purple Moon City?
They were too naive. Not to mention that Purple Moon City also had two Heavenly Immortals, and the Heavenly Immortals on their side were still at their peak. Most importantly, there was a Great Array beneath Purple Moon City, which could resist even the attack of a Heavenly Immortal.
Even if Purple Moon City’s Heavenly Immortals did not act, as long as the Great Array was not destroyed, White Feather City may not be able to capture Purple Moon City.
Jia Wenrui said at this time, "Immediately activate the Great Array, gather the soldiers, and prepare to face the enemy!"
Although King Anyuan’s order was to monitor White Feather City’s every move, since White Feather City had come knocking, he couldn’t just do nothing.
He might as well take this opportunity to heavily damage White Feather City, ensuring they behave themselves in the future.
It’s just uncertain whether this attack on Purple Moon City by White Feather City was Lu Zhengze’s own idea or Lu Chen’s. If it was Lu Chen’s idea, it could mean that Lu Chen had already returned to White Feather City and planned to expand their territory.
Shortly after the activation of Purple Moon City’s Great Array, a dozen warships from White Feather City appeared not far from Purple Moon City. Upon seeing the warships’ appearance, Jia Wenrui flew into the sky, waiting for White Feather City’s attack.
At this moment, the dozen warships slowly came to a stop, and Lu Zhengze’s voice came from afar, "Jia Wenrui, you have unjustly killed my White Feather City’s soldiers. I’m here today to demand an explanation!"
Lu Zhengze had not found any direct connection between White Feather City’s soldiers and Jia Wenrui. However, Lu Chen had deduced that his identity might have been discovered by Jia Wenrui, which made Lu Zhengze suspect that the soldiers’ disappearance was related to Jia Wenrui. Of course, this was merely an excuse to attack Purple Moon City.
Even if White Feather City’s soldiers hadn’t disappeared, they would have found another excuse to attack Purple Moon City.
Upon hearing these words, Jia Wenrui sneered, "It’s just a few mortals. Dead is dead. Old fool, do you really want to go to war with me, the City Lord, over a few ants?"
In Jia Wenrui’s eyes, those mortal soldiers were insignificant. Even admitting to it wouldn’t matter much.
Hearing Jia Wenrui’s words, Lu Zhengze was momentarily stunned. So the disappearance of White Feather City’s soldiers was indeed related to Jia Wenrui. This meant Jia Wenrui might have already known Lu Chen’s identity and informed a king of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.
Lu Zhengze said, "Since you admit it yourself, there’s nothing more to say. Let us begin! I will avenge my fallen White Feather City soldiers!"
Having said this, Lu Zhengze ordered the warships behind him, "Attack!"
Once the words were spoken, various colored Attack Formations appeared in front of the warships, followed by a dozen beams of destructive force aimed at the Array Barrier of Purple Moon City.
Unhurriedly, Jia Wenrui said, "You two Heavenly Immortals nearing your end dare to attack Purple Moon City, truly seeking death!"
As soon as Jia Wenrui finished speaking, he rushed out of the Array Barrier of Purple Moon City. The instant he left the barrier, another Heavenly Immortal from Purple Moon City appeared beside him.
In a war between a few Heavenly Immortals like this, whoever holds the upper hand in high-level combat determines the victory. Jia Wenrui wasn’t even bothered with the warships of White Feather City. He planned to directly attack Lu Zhengze, severely injuring both Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang.
As for killing them, it wasn’t his intention for the moment. If he killed them both, he might lose the only lead to Chen King.
By keeping Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang at White Feather City, there was a chance Chen King might return there. After all, those at White Feather City were the last remaining loyalists to Chen King, and without regaining his strength, Chen King wouldn’t easily give up this force.
Seeing another Heavenly Immortal appear beside Jia Wenrui, Lu Zhengze frowned slightly. As expected, Purple Moon City had another Heavenly Immortal.
It seemed they would have to rely on their King next. But before that, they needed to help their King wear down the strength of Jia Wenrui and that Heavenly Immortal.
With this in mind, Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang leapt from the warship simultaneously, soaring into the skies.
Both sides transformed into streaks of light, rushing toward each other.
Soon after, the sky erupted with various Magic Spells, forcing White Feather City’s warships to retreat to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang’s strength was evidently inferior to Jia Wenrui and the other Heavenly Immortal. Barely into the fight, they were constantly pressured to retreat by their opponent’s Magic.
There was no helping it. Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang were already nearing their limits. At this stage, their Divine Soul Power was continually weakening, and their vitality was gradually fading. Being able to exert a fifth of their peak Heavenly Immortal strength was fortunate.
Now, their power was hardly different from the peak of Earth Immortal, and this level of strength was no match for Jia Wenrui.
While attacking, Jia Wenrui taunted Lu Zhengze, "Old wretch, I initially planned to let White Feather City destroy itself. Didn’t expect you’d actively seek death!"
"In that case, I’ll grant your wish!"
Upon saying this, Jia Wenrui gathered the Immortal Aura into his Immortal Sword, and in the next moment, swung it.
"Nine Dragon Sword!!!"
As the Sword Qi was unleashed, nine roaring dragons charged toward Lu Zhengze. Feeling the Dragonesque Sword Qi, Lu Zhengze’s brow furrowed, and he immediately resorted to Magic.
"Great Sun Golden Body Scripture!!!"
A sun appeared behind Lu Zhengze, and he forcibly withstood the nine Sword Qi attacks from Jia Wenrui.
However...
Though Lu Zhengze barely blocked the Sword Qi, he was still heavily injured. He was sent flying backward, and the massive sun behind him gradually dissipated.
Seeing that Lu Zhengze and Liao Xiaoshuang were no match for the enemy, Lu Chen thought to himself it might be necessary to find a way to help them break through their limits.
These were the only reliable subordinates he had left in his former forces. If they died, there would be no one left to help him expand his power.
