Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

Chapter 45: Lightning and Thunder Flash, Heaven and Earth Shakes, Torrential Rain Pours Out of the Sky!

At the same time as King Yan’s army moved out from Dachang County, a person arrived at Juhe County.

Xu Bailu was a Daoist nun who looked to be in her early thirties. She wore a light green Daoist robe with white deer patterns embroidered on it. She wore a lotus flower crown and carried a long sword on her back. She looked valiant and heroic.

Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and she could be said to be capable of causing the downfall of a country. Her skin was as fair as jade, and her facial features were perfectly matched. Especially her eyes, they were abnormally bright, and her eyelashes were thin and long. She gave off a beautiful and otherworldly feeling, but at the same time, she also looked a little charming.

However, Xu Bailu’s great reputation in the pugilistic world was not only because of her beauty, but also because of her own strength.

She was an Elder of the Yuhua Sword Pavilion, a Grandmaster at the peak of the Profound Gate Realm. She was only half a step away from the Xiantian Realm and could be considered a top expert in the world.

!!
She was known as the “Absolute Sword”.

Such figures usually had extremely strong personal will.

Therefore, the first thing Xu Bailu did when she came to Juhe County was to head straight to the county office despite Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei’s dissuasion.

She wanted to see Cui Heng.

“Master, you can’t!” Zhou Caiwei stood in front of Xu Bailu. “County Lord Cui is the main official here. If you rush into the county office like this, there will only be conflict.”

“If I don’t look for him, Juhe County will be sacrificed by him.” Xu Bailu sneered. “The entire city has less than 300 soldiers, and there’s no plan to recruit troops. How does this look like a city defense?”

“This…” Fang Min also persuaded at the side,” Perhaps he’s waiting for Master to come and take charge. You can just negotiate with King Yan’s army after you come. There’s no need to… ”

“The negotiation also requires them to buy time by defending the city.” Xu Bailu raised her hand to interrupt her and said in a low voice, “I’ll go see this county magistrate now and take over all the matters here. We have to mobilize the manpower we can use to defend the city as soon as possible so that we can negotiate…”

She stopped suddenly, her ears twitching as she frowned. “Is that the sound of the gates opening?”

Then, Xu Bailu rushed out of the residence.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Fang Min and Zhou Caiwei hurriedly followed.

At this moment, the door to Juhe County City opened.

This was because the sentries in front had already detected the movements of King Yan’s army in Dachang County. Soon, an army would arrive.

Hence, Cui Heng ordered Monk Hui Shi to lead the soldiers to organize and lead the refugees into the city to seek refuge.

Xu Bailu happened to see this scene.

She was stunned.

Especially after seeing the smiles on the faces of the refugees, Xu Bailu sneered and said, “Looks like County Magistrate Cui still has some conscience. He knows to let the refugees enter the city to avoid the ravages of war outside the city.”

“Master, County Lord Cui has already decided on this.” Zhou Caiwei realized that her master’s attitude seemed to have softened a little, so she smiled and said, “County Lord Cui is actually very benevolent. He will never surrender and give up the city.”

The surrender of the city meant that the people of the county would be at the mercy of King Yan’s army.

After all, in this era, there was no such thing as marching without plundering. Prohibiting raiding would not allow the soldiers to release their desires, and the army could not be motivated and mobilized.

It was impossible for a merciful person to do such a thing.

“Just because he’s kind doesn’t mean that he’s not naive.” Xu Bailu shook her head and said, “Perhaps he’s thinking that as long as he surrenders and offers up the city, he can save the people in the city from war.

“However, King Yan’s army is tyrannical. Along the way, they plundered countless people. None of the local officials survived. The local citizens will also be robbed and humiliated. Even if they surrender, there won’t be any good results.”

At this moment, a youth who had just walked past them suddenly turned around and ran back.
