Chapter 16177 Taken
Xu Ying looked at Shang Baiyi with a smile on her face, and then said, "Shang Baiyi, I should thank you. You are too greedy. Did you want to take advantage of this opportunity to swallow up those families? That's why you came up with this excuse to seal off Jin Sui City. But this is a good thing for us. It makes it easier for us to take action."

Shang Baiyi looked at Xu Ying and then asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Xu Ying smiled slightly and said, "I am Xu Ying, don't you know that? I'm not lying to you, I really am Xu Ying, and I am indeed a member of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect."

Shang Baiyi looked at Xu Ying, his expression gradually calming down. He looked at Xu Ying and said, "So that means that from the very beginning, your Myriad Laws Divine Sect's goal was not to deal with the Creation Divine Sect at all, but to overthrow the Divine Kingdom?"

Xu Ying shook her head and said, "What do you mean by overthrowing the Divine Kingdom? You always misunderstand us. We don't want to overthrow anyone, and we have no enmity with the Divine Kingdom. Why would we overthrow the Divine Kingdom? We just want the Divine Kingdom to join us."

Shang Baiyi looked at Xu Ying with confusion. He didn't quite understand what Xu Ying meant. What was the difference between overthrowing the Divine Kingdom and letting the Divine Kingdom join them? If the Divine Kingdom didn't join them, were they just going to do nothing? He didn't believe it.

Looking at Shang Baiyi, Xu Ying smiled slightly and said, "City Lord Shang, let me put it this way. Although you are a bit greedy, we don't actually like killing people. So I'll give you a chance. How about you join us? Once you join us and we place a restriction on you, you'll be one of us. Not only will we not harm you, but we'll also give you benefits. Whatever benefits you want, we'll give you. If you want to improve your strength, we'll make sure you improve. What do you say? Think about it."

Looking at Xu Ying, Shang Baiyi suddenly sneered, "You would be so kind? I don't believe it."

Xu Ying sighed and said, "You see, that's how it is. We meant well and could have avoided this fight, but you disagreed, so we had no choice but to take action against you."

After speaking, Xu Ying moved her hand, and the next moment, starlight appeared in the sky, followed by a fire dragon that rushed straight towards Shang Baiyi.

Shang Baiyi looked at the fire dragon and couldn't help but snort coldly. Then he clasped his hands together and quickly formed several hand seals before shouting, "Rise!"

As he spoke, a phantom appeared outside his body in the next moment. It was an incomparably tall Buddha. This Buddha held an iron mace in his hand, his body was incredibly muscular, he was bald, and had a full beard, looking just like a Vajra warrior of Buddhism.

As soon as the Buddha appeared and saw the fire dragon, he let out a huge roar and struck with his mace. He was clearly an illusion, but he could still roar, which Xu Ying had not expected.

The fire dragon was no pushover either. With a swift movement, it dodged the mace and simultaneously unleashed a fireball from its mouth, hurtling straight towards the Buddha.

The Buddha didn't care at all. He twirled his mace and smashed the fireball to pieces. Then, the Buddha swung the mace and struck the fire dragon.

The fire dragon was like a real dragon, constantly roaming and attacking the Buddha. The dragon and the Buddha were fighting fiercely.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ying couldn't help but turn to look at Shang Baiyi. He hadn't expected Shang Baiyi's fighting style, but it seemed rather weak. Did he think that his fire dragon, like their Buddha, could only be released once? His fire dragon, in essence, was a kind of magic, and magic could be released continuously.

Thinking of this, another fire dragon charged straight at Shang Baiyi. Shang Baiyi saw the fire dragon and was stunned. He hadn't expected that after releasing one fire dragon, Xu Ying could release another one of similar strength. This was unexpected. Now, he couldn't hold back anymore. The next moment, the Buddha suddenly grew three heads and six arms, each holding a weapon. This way, no matter which direction the fire dragon attacked from, he could block its attacks. Seeing this, Xu Ying didn't hold back either, releasing several more fire dragons. The fire dragons relentlessly attacked the three-headed, six-armed Buddha, but they couldn't do anything to him. The Buddha's attack power was still extremely strong, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate.

However, the situation was much worse for the others in Jin Sui City. The Blood Slaughter Sect's attacks were never merciful. Everyone in the city, from rogue cultivators to ordinary people and soldiers, was attacked by the Blood Slaughter Sect. The people in the city reacted quickly and began to resist, but their resistance was useless. They were completely helpless against the Blood Slaughter Sect's attacks. After all, the Blood Slaughter Sect's attacks were all organized and well-coordinated. Faced with the resistance from Jin Sui City, their attacks became even more fierce, and the resistance of those people was completely ineffective. They were quickly scattered by the Blood Slaughter Sect.

While fighting Xu Ying, Shang Baiyi kept an eye on the situation in the city. He discovered that the people in the city were no match for the enemy's attacks, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Shang Baiyi's expression gradually turned grim, but even if he wanted to help, it was impossible, because he had to deal with Xu Ying's attacks. Xu Ying's attacks were extremely powerful, and if he didn't go all out, he might be defeated soon. If he was defeated, he would be finished.

The battle continued. As Shang Baiyi watched the number of people in the city gradually decrease, he became truly anxious. Xu Ying had been observing him closely. When she saw that Shang Baiyi seemed anxious and his concentration was increasing, she couldn't help but smile slightly. Then, she waved her hand, and the next moment, a sword light suddenly slashed directly at the Buddha.

The sword light was incredibly fast, appearing in front of the Buddha almost instantly. The Buddha had just blocked an attack from a fire dragon and had no way to block the sword light, so the sword light struck the Buddha directly.

A hissing sound, like a sword slicing through cloth, was heard. The Buddha's movements stopped abruptly, and the Buddha's phantom vanished. Shang Baiyi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face showing shock. Just then, another sword light flashed. Shang Baiyi moved his hand, and a large shield resembling a tortoise shell appeared in front of him. However, the shield was like paper in front of the sword light, unable to even block it. It was directly cleaved in two by the sword light, which then passed right through his body. Shang Baiyi lowered his head in astonishment. At that moment, his body was split in two, starting from his chest and abdomen.

Shang Baiyi's vitality was extremely strong, and he couldn't die for a while. He looked at Xu Ying, wanting to say something, but he spat out a mouthful of blood again. However, at this moment, a rune landed directly on his body, and the next moment Shang Baiyi's body had recovered.

Shang Baiyi let out a long breath, then looked down at his chest. He then turned to look at Xu Ying with lingering fear. Xu Ying smiled and nodded at him, then said, "From now on, we're on the same side. Now that the people in the city have been dealt with, this place is our territory."

Shang Baiyi nodded. He now had some understanding of the Blood Slaughter Sect and knew his own situation. To be honest, Shang Baiyi really didn't know what to say about this situation. If you said he was alive, he seemed to be dead. If you said he was dead, he seemed to be alive again. He didn't know what state he was in now.

Seeing Shang Baiyi's appearance, Xu Ying flew to his side. By this time, all the members of the Creation God Sect were already dead. He glanced in the direction of the Creation God Temple and then said to Shang Baiyi, "Once everyone in the city becomes one of our own, the city's blockade can be lifted. You can then report the situation here directly. Of course, don't mention anything about the sect. Just say that all the members of the Creation God Sect are dead. If the Creation God Sect asks, just say that you gave them the opportunity, that it was the Creation God Sect who insisted on attacking the Myriad Laws God Sect. They shouldn't suspect you."

Shang Baiyi nodded, and Xu Ying looked at him again and said, "Have you thought about taking it a step further? Or rather, do you have a way to take yourself a step further?"

Shang Baiyi was taken aback, then looked at Xu Ying with some confusion. Xu Ying smiled slightly and said, "If you want to go further, the sect can't help you in other ways, but it can provide you with material support. We'll give you as much as you want, and whatever you want."

Although Shang Baiyi had some understanding of the Blood Slaughter Sect, it wasn't extensive. Therefore, his first reaction upon hearing Xu Ying's words was that Xu Ying was lying. Was this an exaggeration? To say that the Blood Slaughter Sect could provide as much or as many resources as needed? Could they really offer him such support? He genuinely found it hard to believe.

Xu Yingyi knew what Shang Baiyi was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He wasn't angry, but smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. Tonight, you will enter the sect and learn about it properly. Once you understand the sect, you will realize that I didn't lie to you. Resources are really not a problem for the sect."

Although Shang Baiyi didn't quite understand Xu Ying's meaning, he still nodded in agreement. After the people of Jin Sui City were all dealt with, Xu Ying immediately ordered people to restore the damaged buildings in the city as soon as possible. Meanwhile, he and Shang Baiyi had already returned to the city lord's mansion and went directly to Shang Baiyi's study.
