Bibi Dong nodded solemnly. After Gu Han's explanation, she understood what he meant.
The Spirit Hall's spirit masters acted swiftly, quickly gathering 550 horses.
"Set off."
Gu Han and Bibi Dong flew in the air on their swords, while the golden-armored guards and the healing-type soul master followed on fast horses below.
They moved quickly, but still maintained their general formation.
Along the way, they encountered many refugees. Whenever they encountered a group of refugees, Gu Han would leave behind several healing-type soul masters and a dozen guards to lead them to meet up with Salas.
Along the way, you can see many rotting corpses, which are obviously far from the city and have not been disposed of.
Gu Han frowned slightly, said nothing, but urged the team to speed up again.
Bibi Dong pursed her lips, her anger towards the Soul Master nobles of Starfall City growing even stronger.
Outside Starfall City, Ye Renxin was already very weak. Even though he was a Soul Douluo with abundant soul power, he still had to save tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people every day for about a week. How terrifying was the consumption of his soul power?
Let alone a Soul Douluo, even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand it.
"Dr. Ye, please take a rest."
The Soul Emperor supported Ye Renxin, his eyes filled with worry, yet also with respect.
He followed Doctor Ye because he was moved by the doctor's benevolence. Over the years, he has been completely impressed by the doctor's selfless dedication to helping people and saving lives, and he is willing to give up his own wealth and status to follow him.
Ye Renxin was helped to sit on a flat stone, her gaze meeting the complex expressions of expectation, hope, worry, and gratitude in the eyes of the group.
He stood up again, took a deep breath, mustered his inner soul power, and spoke.
"Fellow villagers, those nobles in the city will not give you food. I am not capable enough to save you, but I can help you recover from your weakness. However, I can show you a way to survive."
He pointed in a direction, which was the official road leading out of Starfall City.
“Follow the direction I’m pointing. As long as you follow the main road, you will surely meet the adults who will come to your rescue.”
A weathered-looking middle-aged man from among the refugees stepped forward. He had just been rescued by Ye Renxin and was naturally very grateful. Upon hearing Ye Renxin's words, he stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.
"Dr. Ye, you saved our lives and now you've shown us a way to survive. We will never forget your great kindness."
"Dr. Ye, please take care of yourself. We will do our best to survive."
After speaking, the man led the group of refugees away in the direction Ye Renxin had indicated.
This group, though not numbering in the tens of thousands, still numbered several thousand.
Ye Renxin watched the refugees leave before staggering down to sit.
"A miracle doctor...!"
The Soul Emperor was startled and quickly reached out to help him up.
Ye Renxin waved his hand: "I'm fine."
His gaze fell upon the growing influx of refugees outside the city, and then upon the towering gates of Xingluo City, a sense of desolation washing over him.
"Damn it, Starfall City is only four or five days' journey from Wolf City and Starshine City. It's been almost twenty days since the disaster, why haven't we arrived yet!?"
The Soul Emperor roared angrily and punched the city wall, leaving a deep fist mark on it.
The other Soul Kings were also indignant.
Rumble rumble rumble~~~
Just then, a slight tremor came from the ground.
"What's going on? Another earthquake?"
Everyone was startled. Ye Renxin frowned slightly and stood up with the help of the Soul Emperor. He looked into the distance.
"No, someone is coming."
In the distance, the refugees who had not yet gone far stopped and made way for a large cavalry force galloping toward Starfall City.
Ahead of the cavalry were two figures riding swords.
The guards on the city wall also witnessed this scene.
"Is it a rescue operation?"
"It doesn't seem like it. They didn't bring any supplies."
Just as the guards were wondering what was going on, the two figures riding swords suddenly accelerated and arrived above the city gate.
"Open the door! We are here to provide disaster relief on the orders of the Pope of the Spirit Hall."
Chapter 157 Threatening the City Lord's Mansion
"They're from the Spirit Hall!"
Upon hearing about the disaster relief, the refugees below looked hopefully at the golden-armored guards riding large horses, but their eyes dimmed again when they saw that the guards did not carry any supplies.
Along the way, Gu Han's original five hundred armored soldiers have dwindled to just over three hundred, and his healing-type soul masters have also dwindled to just over twenty.
Upon arriving at this place, the healing-type Soul Masters immediately dismounted and began helping Ye Renxin recover.
Gu Han, who was above, naturally noticed the old man outside the city gate. Although the old man was weak, he had an extraordinary temperament, the kind of temperament that only a doctor would have.
Compassion, kindness.
However, he has no intention of greeting the other party right now. Sending a Soul Master to help the other party recover their Soul Power and saving more people is the priority.
He, however, was going to the city to open the granary.
"The lords of the Spirit Hall?"
Upon hearing that they were from the Spirit Hall, the soldiers didn't think much of it and quickly opened the city gates, allowing Gu Han and Bibi Dong to lead more than three hundred armored soldiers into the city.
At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Wang was holding a banquet with a group of noble representatives from Starfall City, enjoying the graceful dances of the dancers.
The entire city lord's mansion was filled with singing and dancing, showing no signs of the somber mood that should accompany a major disaster.
"Lord of the city, if things continue like this, won't the refugees outside the city rebel?"
One of the family heads was worried that if things continued like this, the group of refugees outside might mutini.
Lord Wang scoffed, “Those refugees? Let’s not even talk about whether they can get into the city. Even if they do, do you think we Soul Masters are afraid of them?”
"This……"
"Ah, Patriarch Ye, there's no need to overthink it." Lord Wang waved his hand to interrupt Patriarch Ye, and beckoned to the maids below: "Continue playing the music, continue dancing."
"Patriarch Ye, there is no need to worry. With Physician Ye here, those lowly people can save their lives and will not rebel."
Another fat man, laughing loudly, offered some advice.
Upon hearing this, the Ye family head had no choice but to sit back down.
After Gu Han and Bibi Dong led their men into the city, they did not linger and headed towards the city lord's mansion.
"No unauthorized entry is permitted inside the City Lord's Mansion!"
Upon arriving outside the city lord's mansion, Gu Han and Bibi Dong were stopped by the guards.
Gu Han didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, the golden-armored guards behind him immediately stepped forward, killed the two men, and rushed into the mansion.
"Who goes there...!"
The guards inside the city lord's mansion naturally noticed the Spirit Hall's army breaking in and quickly stepped forward to block them.
However, how can ordinary people fight against a legion of Soul Masters?
Without any suspense, the guards in the city lord's mansion were swiftly killed.
The maids and servants huddled in the corner, trembling, but the golden-armored guards paid them no heed and quickly rushed through the second gate, surrounding the back garden.
"Who goes there?!"
The crowd, who had been enjoying the dancers' performance, immediately became alert, and Lord Wang even slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
Gu Han and Bibi Dong entered the main hall, their eyes scanning the surroundings to take in everything.
Gu Han said sarcastically, his tone icy, "Lord Wang, esteemed family heads, you are truly enjoying yourselves."
"Who are you?"
Lord Wang frowned slightly, looking at the group of armored soldiers behind the other party. How did these people get into the city?
"By order of the Pope, I have come to provide disaster relief."
Upon hearing this, Lord Wang burst into laughter: "Haha, so it's the Martial Spirit Hall that has arrived. I'm truly sorry for not welcoming you properly."
"Someone, prepare two tables."
"No need."
Gu Han raised his hand to stop the maid.
Upon seeing this, Lord Wang and the other family heads immediately became alert, and Lord Wang's voice suddenly lowered.
"Gentlemen, the Spirit Hall has never interfered in the affairs of the two great empires. Why are you so brazenly breaking into the City Lord's Mansion and killing my guards? Does the Spirit Hall intend to make an enemy of the Starfall Empire?"
Gu Han's gaze turned cold: "You, representing the Star Luo Empire?"
Lord Wang was speechless. He hadn't expected that this young man wouldn't fall for such a trick.
But he remained calm and asked in a deep voice, "What do you two mean?"
"Open the granaries and distribute the grain."
Gu Han and Bibi Dong spoke in unison, their voices resounding.
Everyone was stunned, but the next moment, Lord Wang laughed heartily.
"Haha, it turns out it was a misunderstanding."
Immediately, the city lord sighed and said, "Alas... you two are unaware of the situation. Since the earthquake, Xingluo City has been distributing grain from its granaries, but the number of refugees is simply too great. We have tried our best, but to no avail."
"Heh~"
Gu Han sneered, and the Xuan Shuang Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, orange-gold—seven spirit rings rose up in sequence.
A terrifying killing intent enveloped the area, and the hall fell silent instantly.
