Chapter 656 Tang Xing'an

Upon hearing this, Fang Liang was overjoyed, not expecting Liang Yuan to be so easy to talk to.

He could hardly believe it.

This man was so ruthless when he killed three mercenary group leaders.

How could I have been so easily convinced by myself?

"The King's reputation is truly formidable," Fang Liang thought to himself.

He guessed that Liang Yuan was afraid of the title of Lord of the Fog City.

He felt a surge of pride and said, "I didn't expect you to be so sensible. Tell your men to stop now."

He glanced at the two groups still locked in fierce combat below and immediately spoke.

Liang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "No rush. Before I meet Chang Yuntao, I need to let him know how capable my men are before we can discuss how to arrange my position, right?"

Fang Liang's expression changed: "What do you mean by this?"

"Hehe, if I take down Yang Baoshan and then go to Chang Yuntao, won't he look at me more favorably?"

"You—bastard!"

Fang Liang was furious. Wasn't the other party using him as a stepping stone?
Yang Baoshan was guarded by him, but now that Liang Yuan has taken him down, Liang Yuan's impression on Chang Yuntao has naturally improved.

Wouldn't that lower Fang Liang's standing in Chang Yuntao's eyes?
Fang Liang immediately threatened, "You'd better not forget that I was the one who introduced you."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm just teasing you. Since Chang Yuntao is still in the Misty City, I'll go find him myself. Do I need you to lead the way?"

After saying that, Liang Yuan pointed his finger and a parasitic seed fell directly into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Fang Liang sensed something was wrong, and his expression changed drastically: "You—how dare you!"

Liang Yuan chuckled and shook his head, then picked him up and said, "You're incredibly stupid. If Chang Yuntao were that powerful and could easily kill me, why doesn't he just go to Yangshan to find me?"

"Yet he's still scheming and wasting time in Baoshan City. Does he not want to kill me?"

Fang Liang was stunned, his mind not quite processing what was happening.

Clearly, he hadn't thought of that at first.

Liang Yuan led him directly to the sky above the battle and shouted, "Fang Liang has been captured, who dares to resist!"

With a sharp shout, the sound exploded like thunder.

Immediately, the members of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Group below all looked up.

Sure enough, Fang Liang was seen being held in Liang Yuan's hands, completely powerless to resist.

Immediately, everyone's expression changed drastically. Already at a disadvantage, their morale plummeted.

Wu Ying led his men and immediately slaughtered these guys, bringing the situation under control.

Liang Yuan said, "Wu Ying, let everyone rest for a bit and help Yang Baoshan's friends treat their injuries first."

"Attack the City of Mist after dawn!"

"Yes, Mr. Liang."

Soon, Wu Ying led his men to release a large number of Yang Baoshan's people who had been imprisoned.

Soon, a leader stepped forward from among these people.

He was a middle-aged man named Tang Xing'an.

Tang Xing'an was an administrative staff member of Yang Baoshan, similar to the position held by Yang Mei in Yangshan.

Although he was not very capable, he had outstanding administrative skills and was highly valued by Pu Shanlie. His responsibility was to be in charge of Yang Baoshan's administrative management.

However, because of their low strength, they were not taken away by Chang Yuntao's men.

Upon seeing Liang Yuan, Tang Xing'an stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Tang Xing'an greets Mr. Liang."

Liang Yuan asked, "Is Mr. Tang the administrator here?"

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Liang's generous help in saving us, I kowtow to you on behalf of the survivors of Yang Baoshan."

He knelt down on the ground, wiping away his tears, and kowtowed to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan immediately waved his hand, using his telekinetic power to lift him up, and said with emotion, "There's no need for that, get up quickly."

With red eyes, Tang Xing'an said, "Mr. Liang, Chang Yuntao is quite capable, but what's truly terrifying is his cunning."

"In order to deal with our Yang Baoshan, this person first turned Gu Jianye to the side, and then when fighting with our leader Pu Shanlie, he let Gu Jianye take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, which is how he won."

"Mr. Liang, you must be wary of this person's dirty tricks."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and smiled, "I didn't expect that the city lord of the Misty City would resort to such treacherous schemes. By the way, Mr. Tang, how is your leader, Pu Shanlie, doing now?"

Tang Xing'an, his eyes red, said, "In order to give us a chance to survive, the leader deliberately lured Chang Yuntao away from this place."

"Later, Chang Yuntao returned, but our leader has not returned for a long time. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he's in grave danger."

Tang Xing'an wiped away his tears, clearly unsure whether Pu Shanlie was dead or not.

However, judging from his description, it seems that Pu Shanlie is in grave danger.

Chang Yuntao was cunning and scheming; how could he let such a mortal enemy go?

Liang Yuan asked, "How many people are left in Yang Baoshan?"

Tang Xing'an said, "Before we fought Chang Yuntao and his men, the total population had already reached more than seven thousand."

"The number of combat personnel has reached more than 5,000. Only a few personnel have not awakened their superpowers, while the rest have basically awakened them."

"Some of the people who awakened were auxiliary-type superpowers and could not participate in combat. Now they have all been captured by Chang Yuntao."

Liang Yuan was greatly surprised: "Your Yang Baoshan can accommodate more than 7,000 people?"

Tang Xing'an smiled wryly: "There's nothing we can do. The entire Baoshan City is submerged. Yangbaoshan and Beichenshan are the few remaining high mountains, so everyone is crowding into these two places."

"Beichen Mountain is now Beichen Island. It's a brutal place where the strong prey on the weak. Here, we have a leader who has set rules, so it's orderly and civilized. That's why most survivors yearn to come here."

"As a result, the number of survivors here is increasing, and with more than 7,000 people, we really can't accommodate them all."

"But fortunately it's winter now, and people can live on the snowfields."

"However, it's hard to say how many will be left after this battle."

Tang Xing'an looked bitter and said, "In this world, it's already hard enough for everyone to just survive. I really don't understand why people have to fight each other."

Liang Yuan also sighed and said, "Human beings are just like that by nature."

"Only when an absolutely powerful ruler emerges, sets out the rules, and ensures that everyone abides by and acts within those rules, can such a turbulent crisis be resolved."

"But I don't know where such a person is," Tang Xing'an said, looking at Liang Yuan.

He wanted to ask Liang Yuan if he was this person, but he swallowed the words back.

"Don't be too forward with someone you don't know well," Liang Yuan said. "It's bound to happen eventually, Mr. Tang. You should go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will lead a group to the City of Misty Clouds to meet Chang Yuntao in person!"

Tang Xing'an's expression immediately turned serious, and he said, "Please, Mr. Liang, take me with you no matter what!"

"you?"

Liang Yuan glanced at him; Tang Xing'an must have only recently condensed his gene seed.

With such strength, participating in this battle carries a great risk.

Tang Xing'an said, "The leader has treated me well, and I must see Chang Yuntao's fate with my own eyes!"

Liang Yuan could tell that this person was indeed a loyal and righteous man.

He nodded slightly: "Okay, you'll set off with my men then."

Tang Xing'an thanked Liang Yuan before leaving.

Han Xiangman walked over at this moment and asked, "Mr. Liang, why don't we attack the City of Mist tonight? Wouldn't it be better to launch a sneak attack like this?"

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "Our attack on Yang Baoshan was quite a big commotion, and I'm afraid some of them have already escaped."

"The City of Mist has probably received the news by now, and the chances of a successful sneak attack are slim. They will most likely fall into the enemy's trap."

"Since that's the case, why not have a real showdown tomorrow and confront them head-on?"

"Do we have enough people? After all, the Misty City is their main base, and it's right next to Beichen Island."

"There are quite a few bandits on Beichen Island."

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "The key to tomorrow's battle does not lie with you, but with me and Chang Yuntao."

Han Xiangman was taken aback, but then she understood.

Indeed, combat power at the level of genetic recombination is the key to determining the outcome of this battle.

If Liang Yuan kills Chang Yuntao, the Misty City will naturally fall without a fight.

As for Liang Yuan's failure...

By this time of year, she had stopped thinking about it.

He will not lose!

The City of Mist.

A group of disheveled figures appeared nearby.

Just as they were about to get closer, a misty fog enveloped the floating island, and a sharp shout rang out.

"Who goes there! How dare you trespass into the City of Mist!"

But then, a huge ship appeared in the mist.

The sound was coming from above.

Amidst the disheveled crowd, someone cried out.

"Your subordinate, Li Youquan, has an urgent battle report."

The people on the boat shouted, "Which Li Youquan is it?"

"Li Youquan is from the Sharp Sword Mercenary Group, and our leader is Fang Liang."

The people on the ship were surprised and suspicious: "The Sharp Sword Mercenary Group? Weren't you ordered to guard Yang Baoshan?"

“A group of people attacked Yang Baoshan. Regiment Commander Fang Liang has been captured by them. We risked our lives to escape back here to deliver the news.”

Upon hearing this, the people on the ship were immediately stunned.

"What happened? Someone attacked Fang Liang's Sharp Sword Mercenary Group?"

"Could it be a remnant of Yang Baoshan?"

"Impossible. Yang Baoshan's remnants have long been arrested. How could there still be experts among them?"

"Quickly, bring them up."

As they spoke, a ladder was lowered from the large ship, and the members of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Group quickly climbed up the ladder and entered the mist.

A moment later, the large ship sailed upstream and returned to the Misty Forest.

The group was led to Chang Yuntao.

Chang Yuntao stared at the group and asked what had happened.

The group quickly recounted everything that had happened to Yang Baoshan.

Chang Yuntao's expression gradually became serious.

"Among this group, are there any people skilled in dark-attribute abilities?"

"Yes, the leaders are all dark-attribute ability users."

Where is Fang Liang?

"The moment our commander made his move, he was stopped by a young man. In just one exchange, that man captured our commander."

Chang Yuntao immediately asked, "What does that person look like?"

"Over 1.8 meters tall, looks to be under 30, handsome face, well-built physique, facial features... facial features..."

Li Youquan couldn't describe it, and could only say, "It was too dark at the time, and I couldn't see the person's face clearly."

Chang Yuntao's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "Give the order to prepare for battle immediately in case of a night attack by the enemy."

"Your Majesty, who are these people?" Ji Liang couldn't help but ask.

This former commander of the Ice Armor Legion has now become Chang Yuntao's trusted general.

Last time, Chang Yuntao personally led the expedition against Yang Baoshan, while Ji Liang was assigned to stay behind in the Misty City, which shows Chang Yuntao's trust in him.

As for He Jun, the other commander of the Ice Armor Legion, he is currently stationed on Beichen Island in place of Chang Yuntao.

Aside from the various mercenary groups, the Ice Armor Legion was the military force that Chang Yuntao trusted most.

In general battles, he would send the mercenary group first to weaken the enemy before sending the Ice Armor Legion to finish them off.

Chang Yuntao's gaze turned cold as he said, "The leader of the dark attribute must be someone from the Dark Abyss."

"The people from the Mouth of the Dark Abyss? That guy named Wu Ying?" Ji Liang asked in surprise.

He immediately shook his head: "That's not right. According to the intelligence we have, this person's main attribute hasn't reached 100 points yet. It's impossible for him to defeat Fang Liang so easily, right?"

Chang Yuntao said coldly, "I'm afraid it's not Wu Ying, but that guy surnamed Liang who has come in person!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Liang's expression immediately changed!
"Liang Yuan is here?"
