Chapter 894: Exploring the Situation Outside the City

Liu Gaoyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a storm in his deep eyes. He was silent for a long time, as if time had stopped in his meditation.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, his voice low but resolute: "If this fails, then the only way is to force our way out of the city gate."

After that, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, like a cold star, and the resolute look seemed to be able to tear the heavy air.

"Although this move is like a moth flying into a flame, it is extremely risky, but we are now in a desperate situation, trapped in this Longqing City.

If we continue to be trapped, sooner or later the resources will be exhausted and the family will decline. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to give it a try."

Liu Gaoyuan's words were loud and resounding in everyone's ears, making everyone look solemn.

They knew in their hearts that this was a critical moment of life and death, and they had to make a choice.

The old man sighed, his voice full of worry: "If we force our way out of the city gate, once we are discovered by the City Lord's Mansion, it will inevitably lead to a war.

Not to mention the strength of the City Lord's Mansion's peak-level guards, if the people in this city fall into chaos and suffer because of our reckless behavior, we will become the eternal sinners of Longqing City."

"Yes, we must not take this step unless it is absolutely necessary." Another family representative echoed, "Let's follow the words of the head of the Liu family and send our children to quietly investigate near the city gate. I hope we can gain something."

At that moment, everyone agreed on which family children to send to investigate as if they were facing a great enemy.

The selected children are all extraordinary people. Not only are they powerful and can fight ten people with one, but they are also extremely cautious and clever, and are good at hiding their breath and traces, like a spirit cat in the dark night.

After receiving the family's secret order, the selected family children quietly set out like ghosts.

Unfortunately, in the space of all things, there is only daytime and no night, so it is even more difficult for these disciples who are selected by the height difference to hide.

They are dressed in black and have a strong posture. Under the cover of the city buildings, they rush towards the city gate.

Along the way, they use various exquisite concealment skills to perfectly integrate their own figures and breath into the darkness. Every step is cautious, as if walking on the edge of a knife, not letting go of any slight movement.

When the footsteps of the guards gradually faded away, the family members breathed a sigh of relief, but they dared not relax their tense nerves at all, and continued to investigate carefully as if walking on thin ice.

On the side of the City Lord's Mansion, although everyone was strictly prohibited from leaving the city, they never slacked off in patrolling the city, and their vigilance was like a sword hanging high.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion were divided into several teams, like a tight net, patrolling alternately in various places in the city.

One of the teams was walking slowly towards the city gate. The neat footsteps echoed in the air, like a countdown to death.

In the palace of the city lord's mansion, which was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings but filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Lin Xiaoqing frowned slightly. She also noticed the increasingly tense atmosphere in the city, which was like a haze quietly covering it.

At this moment, she and a group of loyal old subordinates from the city lord's mansion gathered together, racking their brains to discuss a good strategy to deal with this dangerous situation.

"I think those ill-intentioned family forces will not give up easily.

We must take precautionary measures in advance and strengthen the city defense force. This is a solid barrier to protect Longqing City.

At the same time, we must not ignore the people in the city and try to appease their hearts.

We must not let them be deceived by the slanderous words of those families and lose their trust in the City Lord's Mansion." Lin Xiaoqing's beautiful eyes flashed with a firm light, and her words were resounding.

"Young Master is right. We will keep an eye on the movements of those families in secret, and notify the young master in time if there is any disturbance."

A tall and stern-faced leader of the City Lord's Mansion guards saluted and responded respectfully.

Lin Xiaoqing nodded slightly. She knew that she must remain highly vigilant in this complex situation.

The stability of Longqing City is hard-won, and it must not fall into chaos again because of the unusual movements of a certain family force.

At this time, the family members who were sent by the family to investigate the truth near the city gate had quietly approached their destination like ghosts.

They were like ghosts in the dark night, hiding in the dark, their eyes locked tightly on the tall and majestic city gate with a mysterious atmosphere, as well as the surrounding grass, trees, and every move.

At this moment, the city gate was like a silent giant beast, which looked particularly tall and mysterious.

There were many guards from the city lord's mansion guarding it like an iron barrel, and the cold and murderous atmosphere spread in the air, which seemed to make people's hair stand on end.

The family members were nervous and carefully performed their own secret spells, trying to penetrate the invisible barrier like a spirit snake and detect some secret situations outside the city gate.

However, just as they made a move, the patrol team of the city lord's mansion was like a gust of wind, and it was gradually approaching.

"Be careful, the patrol team is coming!" A family member reminded softly, his voice was so nervous that it was almost inaudible.

When everyone heard this, they immediately held their breath as if they were under a spell, hiding their breath to the extreme, and pressed their bodies tightly against the wall or corner, not daring to move at all.

It was as if they had turned into cold and lifeless stones in an instant, hoping to escape this disaster.

The patrol team of the City Lord's Mansion came to the city gate, with eyes as sharp as torches, as if they could see through everything, and scanned around, but did not find the abnormality hidden in the dark.

After patrolling around, they continued to patrol in another direction, and the neat footsteps gradually went away until they disappeared from everyone's ears.

The family members breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to stay for long, knowing that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

The plan to explore the situation outside the city was not as easy as they thought, and they failed after all.

Lin Xiaoqing was still thinking hard in the city lord's mansion about how to deal with the possible next move of the family forces.

She moved lightly, pacing back and forth in the hall, and the crisp footsteps seemed to be the rhythm of her thinking.

At the same time, she was also thinking about how to keep Longqing City going.

Although she was not a cultivator, she also noticed the current predicament of Longqing City, that is, the lack of cultivation resources in the city. If this continues, it will definitely be difficult to sustain.

Although the spiritual energy here is more and more dense, the spiritual energy alone is far from meeting the needs of the cultivators in the city to practice and advance.

If this continues, the cultivation of the immortal cultivators in the city will stagnate and fall into a deadlock.

Family forces will also intensify conflicts due to the competition for resources, and the social order of Longqing City will gradually collapse.

However, two days have passed, and the master that Zhao Linger mentioned has not appeared, and Lin Bingchun has not come back.

Lin Xiaoqing's heart is full of worries, as if she is shrouded by a thick dark cloud.

She knows that if the problem of immortal cultivation resources cannot be solved as soon as possible, the crisis of Longqing City will only become more serious.

"It seems that only by asking Miss Linger again, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."

Lin Xiaoqing thought to herself, but she didn't know where Zhao Linger was.

In desperation, she could only try her luck at Lao Zhang's handicraft workshop.
