Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 95 Total War

Gu Ce still felt something was off, as if the city lord of Yao Guang City knew something.

But he was certain that no one in the Seven Flames Palace could detoxify the poison of the Silent Fruit. It was a poisonous fruit cultivated by the pharmacists of the Virtual Universe Company. It would be a joke if the natives could detoxify it.

So, it was Qi Yunxian who leaked it on her own initiative.

"As for the teacher, he is a very proud person, not the kind of person who would willingly be subordinate to others." Yao Guangye guessed the reason and took the initiative to explain a few words for Qi Yunxian.

"My grandfather originally promised that he could serve as the deputy commander of the Yao Guang Guard, with a large number of domain lords and world lords under his command, but my teacher still refused. He was unwilling to have his freedom restricted and preferred to fight for the interests of the family himself rather than serve as a subordinate to others."

"Therefore, he had a good relationship with my father and a personal relationship with my grandfather. On the surface, he was just an ordinary family head, but in reality, he was my teacher," Yao Guangye said.

The relationship is quite complicated.

Gu Ce began to ponder what exactly the Lord of Yaoguang City wanted to do.

Judging from the orders he issued, it seems he was trying to help himself?

Regardless, his goal and his own are both the main city of Dulan. In that case, let's postpone the decisive battle for the city lord for two months.

Perfect timing! The Star-Eating Grass can also use this time to recover and enhance its strength!

If the Star-Eating Grass could be upgraded to around the third or fourth level of the Realm Lord, it would be able to kill a human at the ninth level of the Realm Lord.

……

Dulan's main city.

This is a city where the green area is over 80%, and all kinds of plants can be seen growing in the city. Almost every strong person is accompanied by a parasitic plant, the most common of which is the blood orchid vine.

Blood Orchid Vine is the most stable parasitic plant cultivated by the Dulan family. It has overcome the defects of other parasitic plants, such as sucking the blood of its owner, and in severe cases, even turning its owner into a dried corpse.

Blood Orchid Vine may not be the strongest among parasitic plants, but it is definitely the most popular, and it is also the one that changed other people's stereotypes about parasitic plants.

The current head of the Dulan family has cultivated a Blood Orchid Vine at the peak of the World Lord level. Ordinary humans at the peak of the World Lord level are no match for it. Even though the head of the Dulan family is not strong himself, he still became the city lord of the main city by relying on this Blood Orchid Vine at the peak of the World Lord level. He also passed the Holy Pillar Trial and obtained the Origin Fire Seed.

City Lord's Mansion.

A woman who looked somewhat like Du Lanque sat in the main seat, dressed in a somewhat revealing outfit, with a bright red vine coiled around her arm.

Below the main seat sat several officials, most of whom were members of the Dulan family.

"Patriarch, is the Yao Guang family really going to war with us?" someone asked doubtfully.

"That old bastard Yao Guang Tianyou hasn't made a move for 100,000 years since he seized the position of city lord and shocked the world. After that, it was his sons and grandsons who made a move."

"When he made his move last time, he already possessed the strength of a peak World Lord. After obtaining the Origin Fire Seed, his strength must have increased significantly. We must not be careless."

"The strength of the Dulan Guards is arguably the strongest in the entire Mirror Lake Divine Kingdom. Each of them is protected by a Blood Orchid Vine. Do you think we'd be afraid of them?"

"That's right. The Yao Guang Guards are even fewer in number, and even if they are of higher quality, we have the Blood Orchid Vine, so we have nothing to fear."

The officials below were discussing among themselves, and the general idea was that Dulan City should not be afraid of Yaoguang City's declaration of war, and could even turn around and attack them to seize Yaoguang City's resources!

The woman sitting in the main seat remained silent, simply stroking the blood-red vines beside her.

Ordinary blood orchid vines are mostly green, but the blood orchid vine belonging to the Dulan family head is entirely bright red, as if it were drenched in blood, making it look extremely eerie.

"Yao Guang Tianyou cultivates the fundamental laws of light, and is a realm lord recognized by those laws," she murmured. "But even so, he can't compare to the combined strength of me and Xue Lan Teng. What could possibly have driven him to do this?"

The head of the Dulan family always felt uneasy, but he couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.

After failing to reach a conclusion, all I could do was wait quietly.

Wait, two months will pass.

……

The two months in the Seven Flames Palace was quite a long time.

Gu Ce carried a large amount of supplies, more than enough for the Star-Eating Grass to recover and grow.

Now, the Star-Eating Grass has successfully reached the second level of the Realm Lord level, and is only one step away from the third level. It is expected to reach the third level of the Realm Lord level before the start of the war.

"There are only three people in the Dulan family worth being wary of: the head of the Dulan family, the commander of the Dulan Guard, and the deputy commander," Qi Yunxian said.

After spending some time in Yaoguang City and gathering intelligence for Gu Ce, he returned to Tianyan City.

"The head of the Dulan family is named Dulan Lian. Her strength is at the sixth level of the World Lord level. She has not been recognized by the Origin Law, but she is always protected by a Blood Orchid Vine at the peak of the World Lord level. If a fight breaks out, with her and the Blood Orchid Vine working together, an ordinary city lord would be no match for her."

"Dulan Lian's Blood Orchid Vine can be called a mutated Blood Orchid Vine. Its strength is more terrifying than that of the ordinary Blood Orchid Vine. It can be called one of the top two parasitic plants in the Land of Order. Only the ancient tree of Linmu Divine Kingdom can compare with it."

"And that ancient tree is the guardian tree of the Linmu Divine Kingdom, covering millions of kilometers, but it has no combat capability."

"As for the two commanders of the Dulan Guard, they are both juniors of Dulan Lian. Their strength is at the third and fourth level of the Realm Lord level, respectively. They are not considered very strong, but they should have Holy Flame Flames on their bodies, so we need to be wary."

Gu Ce listened attentively; this information was very useful.

"The city lord duel is usually a 1v1 battle, but the rules will be different if the duel is initiated against the city lord of different main cities. For example, if the duel is initiated against the city lord of Dulan, you can bring parasitic plants into the battle."

"My lord, your parasitic plant can absolutely crush Du Lanlian's Blood Orchid Vine!" Qi Yunxian said excitedly.

"Okay!" Gu Ce said with a smile.

"Then let's send our troops to the main city of Dulan now and seize the position of city lord from Dulan Lian!"

Battles between main cities generally do not involve high-end combat forces, and are different from the city lord decisive battle that Gu Ce wanted to initiate.

Anyway, Tianyan City wasn't his own, so he didn't care if everyone died. Gu Ce appointed Yao Guangye as the temporary commander of the Tianyan Guard and led the army in a grand procession toward the main city of Dulan.

Most of these Heavenly Guards are at the Cosmic level, with some at the Eternal level and a very small number at the Domain Lord level. Strictly speaking, they can only be considered a group of cannon fodder.

At that time, the real main force will still be Yaoguangwei.

The daily 10,000-word count has been increasing for the next few days, and this part of the story will end as early as the day after tomorrow. Don't worry.
