The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Chapter 190 Yan Xiaoru's Response

Shen Yan's words had just finished when a sudden quiet descended upon the large tent.

The previously restless and anxious Liu Hucheng was stunned.

"Yan Xiaoru's direct disciple ran away?"

How was that possible!

The scope of this blood mist had stripped all cultivation within a radius of one thousand five hundred miles.

Without their cultivation, how did that direct disciple escape Tianjiao City and reach Bishui City, two thousand miles away, in such a short time?

Liu Hucheng instinctively doubted this was fake news.

But looking at the pale, bloodless face of the girl before him, the words of doubt he harbored choked in his throat.

Miss Shen's words had never been mistaken.

Seeing Liu Hucheng fall silent, Shen Yan finally let out a sigh and said, "How Yan Xiaoru's direct disciple escaped is currently unclear."

"But if she managed to flee Tianjiao City and reach Bishui City, then the Demon Sect will soon learn of the unrest here and dispatch samurai troops to come to our aid."

"This will disrupt our plans."

"Although all the surrounding cities of Tianjiao City have now been captured by our sect members."

"But the speed at which the Demon Sect receives news is too fast, a large army will come to attack the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Therefore, the Sect Hierarch has made a decisive decision, to find all of the Demon Sect elders who have fled into the wilderness and execute them before the Demon Sect's large army arrives."

Shen Yan said, "Whether it is the one who used a demon beast to escape or the one who took medicine and turned into a grey hawk to fly away, under the condition of sealed cultivation, their control over demon beasts and the pills they've concocted won't last long."

"Finding their hiding places in the wilderness as quickly as possible and executing them is the most important matter at the moment."

"The more Demon Sect elders we can kill, the better."

"As for Tianjiao City..."

Looking in the direction of Tianjiao City, the young girl shook her head, "As long as we stand guard here and don't let anyone out of the city, that will be enough."

"With our current strength, storming the city will be hard, there will be heavy casualties, and it will also expose our weakness of insufficient manpower."

"But a siege without attack, making a show of force, will put pressure on the people inside. Under the pressure of life and death, they will choose to flee the city and fight for a way out."

"At that moment, when the Demon Sect cultivators abandon their strong walls and come to the wilderness, they will lose all advantages, and that is when we will launch our full assault."

The girl spoke of this matter earnestly.

Yet in the end, they left only around two hundred bodies behind and broke out of the encirclement to depart into the distance.

On the other hand, the toll on the city's soldiers was severe; after chasing the Blood Lotus Cult rebels for an entire day and killing only a little over two hundred of them, their own losses had reached over a thousand.

Such a vast disparity in strength made these already uncertain soldiers hesitate even more.

"These guys might as well have 'surrender as soon as we leave the city' written on their faces," Li Muyang voiced helplessly.

Ou Ziyu looked towards Yan Xiaoru and hesitated before speaking, "Elder Yan, shall we proceed with the original plan...?"

The original plan was to break out of Tianjiao City under the cover of night and lead sixty thousand troops to pierce through the camp of the Blood Lotus Cult and fight for a path to survival.

But now, it seems the difficulty of carrying out this plan has increased.

Due to successive blows, the morale of the mundane soldiers inside the city had already plummeted.

Once they leave the city, if they cannot swiftly defeat the enemy and quickly break through the Blood Lotus Cult's military formation, I'm afraid that these guys will kneel down and surrender on the spot.

Although the Demon Sect cultivators inside, stripped of their cultivation, are still eager for battle.

But at this moment, these fewer than one thousand Demon Sect cultivators could no longer influence the course of the battle.

The cultivators who usually hovered high above everyone else had come to a point where they must rely on the mortals they ordinarily viewed as ants.

After a moment of silence, Yan Xiaoru looked towards Li Muyang.

Li Muyang was also looking at her, their gazes meeting.

Finally, Yan Xiaoru said softly, "Proceed as originally planned."

Expressionless, she said, "Let everyone eat and drink their fill and rest up. We depart from the west gate without staying any longer in Tianjiao City."

"The longer we delay, the more Blood Lotus Cult followers will gather outside the city, and the more slim our chances of breaking out will become."

Yan Xiaoru's words caused Li Muyang to sigh with relief internally.

Although she had not responded to anything he had said before,

At this moment, Yan Xiaoru was still determined to leave the city—it was clear she had taken into account what Li Muyang had said.

Knowing full well the uncertainty of the soldiers' will, she nonetheless decided to follow the original plan, indicating she was not planning to share fate with the sixty thousand-strong army anymore and was ready to abandon the Demon Sect disciples if necessary.

If the situation turned impossible, Li Muyang could completely break through the chaos army with her and escape alone.

The aloof and proud Elder Yan, after a day of silence, finally responded to Li Muyang with her actions.

—You want me to leave with you, then let's go!
