Chapter 606 The City of the Mute

Two people came to Taishan City today.

The head of the ten prefectures and the city lord Xuan Dongyue met with one of them in the conference hall.

"City Lord, Lords of the Prefectures, please save the City of Muteness!" The man knelt before Xuan Dongyue and the ten prefectural officials, but his pleas did not elicit a positive response.

Until the meeting ended, Chen Si had no idea how she left the meeting room and arrived at the accommodation arranged by Taishan City.

Although he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, he found it hard to swallow the delicious food prepared by Taishan City.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the City of Mute have been besieged by demons for a long time, despite the covert support from various human forces and the continuous supply of materials to the city.

But today, the city of the mute is on the verge of collapse.

The city originally had nearly a million inhabitants, but today only two or three hundred thousand remain.

This was because the demons wanted to gradually erode human forces and did not launch a war to destroy the city.

In fact, if the demons really wanted to destroy the City of Mute, the city would have been wiped out long ago.

However, in that case, the demon would also have to pay a considerable price.

“My lord, Taishan City will not send troops; they are afraid of the demons,” Chen Si’s guard, Mengman, said coldly. “For now, there may only be one way to get Taishan City to send troops.”

"What method?" Chen Si asked, staring blankly at Meng Man.

"I've heard that many direct descendants of the ten great families are training hard in Taishan City. If we capture them and take them to the City of the Mute, the ten great families will definitely not stand by and watch them be killed by the demons. They will definitely come to their rescue," Mengman said.

"No... Absolutely not..." Chen Si was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Rest assured, my lord, I am confident that I can capture them all and take them to the City of the Mute. I can also ensure your safe return to the city. There will be no oversights." Mengman seemed very confident in her abilities.

"It's not my personal problem, you don't understand, this will never work." Chen Si shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I don't understand anything, please enlighten me, sir?" Mengman looked at Chen Si with a stubborn gaze.

“Mengman, you have a good background, good character, strong abilities, and a smart mind, but you are still too young, inexperienced, and don’t understand people’s hearts.” Chen Si said with a wry smile, “If you really do that, the ten great families will indeed send troops, but they will not send troops to destroy the demons, but our Dumb City.”

"No way?" Mengman was somewhat skeptical.

"So you're still inexperienced and don't understand how terrifying people can be. In short, this plan is absolutely unacceptable unless you really want to plunge the City of Mute into utter ruin," Chen Si said earnestly.

"What else can we do? The ten great families and the ancestral court don't care about our lives at all. They won't risk their lives for us in a city like Dumb City, which doesn't belong to their power," Mengman said.

"We can't count on Taishan City anymore, we'll have to go elsewhere for help," Chen Si sighed. He's been sighing more and more often lately.

"Where else can we turn for help? We've already been to at least ten cities, and at most we can only ask for some material assistance. No one is willing to send troops to help us," Mengman said with a sullen face.

"You can't blame them for that. The demons haven't launched a full-scale attack because they want to annihilate more of the rescue forces and eventually swallow up the Silent City without bloodshed. Under these circumstances, it's understandable that they don't want to go to the rescue," Chen Si said.

“We understand them, but who understands the people of the Mute City? Who will save their lives?” Mengman said through gritted teeth.

“There is someone, there is someone who might be able to save us, save the Mute City, and save all of this.” A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Chen Si’s eyes. “Who? Who can save us now?” Meng Man asked, stunned.

“Zi Donglai…the Zi Yang Corps Commander Zi…” Chen Si slowly uttered the name.

Mengman was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "My lord, Zi Donglai and Ziyang Legion are indeed very strong. They took down Tianyang City with just over three hundred soldiers, destroyed Nine Demon City, and killed tens of thousands of demons. This is truly a godlike achievement."

After a pause, Mengman continued, "But have you considered that the forces besieging our Mute City are not 30,000 demons, but 200,000? And the demons are not just one or two of the Nine Demon Brothers, but four of the Nine Demons. Moreover, they have the support of the Demon King City, and their army includes many top experts sent by the Demon King City."

"In a war of this scale, it is difficult for Commander Zi and his three hundred-plus Ziyang cavalry to play the same decisive role as before."

“I know it’s difficult, but we have no other way to go. The Ziyang Legion, who have suffered the same fate as us, should be able to understand us. This is the only way we can go now.” Chen Si’s eyes were firm. After speaking, he said to Meng Man, “When we get to Tianyang City, you must not throw a tantrum at Commander Zi.”

"Rest assured, my lord, Mengman will never jeopardize important matters." Although Mengman was willful, she knew that the overall situation was paramount, and she was not a person without a sense of propriety.

The suggestion I just made was truly a last resort.

She also held Zi Donglai in high esteem. Like many others in the Dumb City, after hearing about Zi Donglai and the Ziyang Legion's achievements, they regarded Zi Donglai as a god of war.

Many people in the Mute City call Zi Donglai "General Zi," a title that represents the highest honor in the city. Only a war god-like commander can be called "General Zi."

Early the next morning, Chen Si and Meng Man left Taishan City. Instead of returning, they headed towards Tianyang City, their last hope.

……

Chen Guan returned to Tianyang City and inspected the floating island that was under repair. He named it "Ziyang City" and it would be used as the base of the Ziyang Legion.

"The plan here needs to be changed. We need to reserve this core area, lay the foundation, and I have new arrangements," Chen Guan said to Teng Mingli, holding up the blueprints.

"Okay." After Teng Mingli found out what kind of foundation Chen Guan needed, she arranged for people to prepare it.

She trusted Chen Guan unconditionally, and obeyed him unconditionally no matter what he wanted to do.

"Brother, didn't you say you were looking for the Reverse Yuan Technique? I've heard some information about it," Teng Mingli said to Chen Guan after he finished speaking.

"Someone is selling the Reverse Yuan Technique?" Chen Guan was overjoyed.

If he could buy the Reverse Yuan Technique, he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble to go to Tianyuan Sea.

"No, but someone captured a Yuanlingpo and plans to auction her off," Teng Mingli explained.

Chen Guan frowned slightly upon hearing this. It was true that Yuanling Po could produce the Reverse Yuan Technique, but the probability was not guaranteed. Buying a Yuanling Po did not necessarily mean that one could obtain the Reverse Yuan Technique.

“However, the person who sells Yuanling Po is a bit troublesome, and it might not be easy to do business with them,” Teng Mingli said after a moment’s hesitation.

"Who is the person who sells Yuanlingpo?" Chen Guan asked.

“The female demon Jin Taohua,” Teng Mingli said.
