After a while, all the people had already arrived at the streets near the city gate.
The number of people was only about three hundred left in total.
Lin Xiao could not help but be surprised. Two or three thousand people came in, and only these were left?
His gaze swept through the crowd. Lin Xiao found two people with notches in their clothing corners. In his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief for the two.
Then, no matter how he searched, he could not find another person with a notch in their clothes.
Of course, the purple corpse puppet did not count.
Among the other three who came with him, one had fallen.
What surprised Lin Xiao was that one of those with a notch in the clothing corner was actually wearing the attire of Saint Heaven Gate, hiding in the crowd of Saint Heaven Gate.
Lin Xiao was ninety percent sure that the person was Xi Yucheng.
The real people from Saint Heaven Gate, excluding Xi Yucheng, had actually lost more than half. Only eight were left.
Of course, this was just Lin Xiao’s calculation after excluding Xi Yucheng, based on those wearing Saint Heaven Gate attire.
Whether Saint Heaven Gate people had hidden on the side, worn other people’s clothes, or if there were others disguised as Saint Heaven Gate people, that was another matter.
The people from Canglong Gate only had ten left.
Ji family’s numbers remained the most, with eighteen still there.
However, Ji family had come with more than thirty, so nearly half had fallen.
One could imagine how intense the competition in this city was.
Among this, there should also be reasons why the three major forces killed in a frenzy, hunting each other.
“Everyone, have you noticed that after that person died, the gate moved a bit more!” At this moment, one person suddenly spoke.
All gazes turned toward that person.
That person was dressed ordinarily, with no special build. No one could tell who it was.
However, the words seemed reasonable, and they were not finished.
“My meaning is, perhaps, when one person dies, the city gate will move a little. The proportion of living people here might be too high, so the gate has not fully opened.” That person said.
Whoosh!
At this time, a Ji family member nearby suddenly rushed toward that person. With one sword, he stabbed into his side.
“Pu!” Blood sprayed out. That person died immediately.
After that person’s death, the city gate indeed moved a little distance.
All expressions condensed at once. This city gate really needed someone to die to open a bit more.
“Chi!”
After the person died, the body contracted on its own. Phosphorescent fire calcined it, condensing into a pill.
However, that pill quickly dissipated into the air.
“Not someone who came from outside!” Lin Xiao frowned.
Based on his experience, those whose human pill did not remain after death were not people who came from outside.
Possibly, they were not even people.
Among these crowds, many such beings might have mixed in.
The real death count should increase by quite a lot.
No wonder the opponent could guess it. It seemed not like guessing, but deliberately said for others to hear, wanting them to kill each other.
“Everyone!” At this moment, someone spoke. The speaker was one from the Saint Heaven Gate crowd. The voice was deliberately hoarse, so no one could tell exactly whose voice it was.
Lin Xiao looked over. After seeing the speaker, his heart jumped at once. The one who spoke was actually the one with the notch in the clothes?
That is to say, most likely it was Xi Yucheng?
Pretending to be from Saint Heaven Gate was one thing, but now being so high-profile. What was Xi Yucheng trying to do?
“Our Saint Heaven Gate’s eighth-layer Martial Emperors, and Canglong Gate’s eighth-layer Martial Emperors, have all fallen.” That person suddenly said.
People in Saint Heaven Gate all frowned. Even if they had fallen, at this time, it should not be said. This was the way to protect themselves.
Otherwise, if others attacked them, how could they resist?
Canglong Gate people also frowned.
Lin Xiao was shocked. Canglong Gate’s eighth-layer Martial Emperors had also all fallen?
Was this true or false?
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, that person continued, “And Ji family still has one ninth-layer Martial Emperor and one eighth-layer Martial Emperor who are not dead.”
The crowd was shocked again. There was still one ninth-layer Martial Emperor and one eighth-layer Martial Emperor. That meant Ji family also lost one eighth-layer Martial Emperor?
Suddenly, they formed various associations.
This must be caused by the three major forces fighting each other.
Otherwise, others definitely did not have the strength to kill eighth-layer Martial Emperor powerhouses.
“Everyone, if the eighth and ninth emperors are still alive, do you think we can leave with treasures after going out?” That person continued.
Hearing this, all expressions shook at once.
Yes, so many had died, even the two sects’ eighth-layer Martial Emperors were dead. Ji family also lost one eighth-layer Martial Emperor. Plus, treasures appeared here. After going out, would the opponents be so polite?
Obviously, impossible!
With one ninth-layer Martial Emperor and one eighth-layer Martial Emperor in command, and the two sects’ eighth-layer Martial Emperors all fallen, no one could contend with them.
Lin Xiao’s heart was full of shock. Was Xi Yucheng wanting to attack Ji family’s people?
Saint Heaven Gate’s own people were greatly surprised. They had not discussed this at all, and no one instructed it. How did this guy suddenly make such a decision?
If someone joined hands, it would be fine. If no one dared to act, would they not suffer along?
After going out openly, Ji family would not exterminate them completely. But here, Ji family could find an excuse.
Moreover, it was they who provoked first!
At that time, Saint Heaven Gate would have no sufficient reason to seek justice from Ji family.
Once these words came out, Ji family’s expressions all changed. They obviously did not expect Saint Heaven Gate people to say such things.
Three hundred people, if all joined hands, they really could not handle it.
After all, their cultivations were all suppressed to first-layer Martial Emperor realm.
“Everyone, if anyone dares to touch our Ji family, after going out, Ji family will definitely settle accounts with all, and not just you. Your families behind you will also suffer.” Ji Chengqi said without hiding his voice.
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts trembled.
They had indeed had that idea just now.
However, just as Ji Chengqi said, even if they besieged and killed Ji family’s eighth and ninth-layer Martial Emperors, after going out, Ji family’s surviving people could completely remember all who lived.
Even if they escaped, if Ji family found out, their families would suffer along.
After all, those were eighth and ninth-layer Martial Emperor powerhouses, Ji family’s core forces.
“Then kill them all, and it’s done?” The person standing in Saint Heaven Gate said again.
“Chi!”
Everyone gasped in shock. Kill all Ji family people?
Lin Xiao was also surprised. What deep hatred did Xi Yucheng have with Ji family, wanting to exterminate them all?
However, what Xi Yucheng said was indeed reasonable.
Rather than let the opponents remember them, better to eliminate them all directly.
Lin Xiao had to admire. This Xi Yucheng really had boldness.
This point was somewhat like him.
“You are seeking death!” Ji Chengqi snorted coldly and moved directly. He rushed toward the speaker. With a sword in hand, he heavily slashed toward that person.
That person stood unmoving, swung his sword to block, and clashed hard with Ji Chengqi, striking together.
