Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Morihoku, who had become a squad leader of knights, received a telepathic message from the city lord.

"That fourth-tier expert must be a survivor from your clan. Invite him to the City Lord's Mansion!"

Upon hearing the city lord's words, Senbei, who had been smiling, froze, and his face immediately fell.

"Yes, Lord City Lord!"

Senbei immediately accepted the city lord's order, but he was stumped about how to carry it out.

After all, the last time he met Lin Xiao, they had an unpleasant past.

However, he could not disobey the city lord's orders, so Senbei coughed twice and revealed his identity as the captain of the Thorn Knight squad.

The people of Wood Soul City still held the Thorn Knight in some respect, so they made way for him and watched as Senbei approached Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked at the somewhat familiar figure with a strange expression.

As for the trivial conflict between Senbei and Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao had long forgotten about it during this period of time, since it wasn't a big deal.

"Ahem... First, esteemed Lin Xiao, our city lord invites you!"

Perhaps he felt a little awkward in front of Lin Xiao, so he addressed her somewhat haltingly.

At this moment, Lin Xiao still couldn't remember who this guy was, but he was curious about the fact that the city lord was looking for him.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Lead the way!"

Next, Lin Xiao led Zhuge Duo and the other two to the residence he had previously purchased in Wood Soul City.

After arranging for Zhuge Duo and the other two, Lin Xiao gestured to Sen Bei, who seemed to have just come to his senses and hurriedly led Lin Xiao toward the city lord's mansion.

As Mori Kita walked, he thought to himself, "Thank goodness the big boss doesn't remember me anymore!"

But then, he felt a little disappointed.

After all, judging from this, it's clear that Lin Xiao never really took him seriously.

Thinking of this, Senbei sighed inwardly and didn't say anything to Lin Xiao along the way.

He also realized that the gap in status and position between himself and the powerful Lin Xiao was already enormous.

After bringing Lin Xiao to the gate of the city lord's mansion, Senbei took his leave, as he still had to maintain order in Wood Soul City.

Lin Xiao watched Senbei leave, but still couldn't remember who it was, or rather, Lin Xiao felt there was no need to remember.

Lin Xiao shook his head, and in a flash, he entered the city lord's mansion. Then, led by a Thorn Clan maid who had been waiting inside for some time, he arrived at a large hall.

As soon as Lin Xiao pushed open the hall door, he saw more than 50 fourth-tier Wood Soul Domain members staring at him.

Lin Xiao was not intimidated. Instead, he slowly walked to the center of the hall and saw the city lord who managed Wood Soul City.

Lin Xiao raised his head and glanced at the city lord sitting in the head seat. The city lord was also constantly scanning Lin Xiao.

In this silent environment, a fourth-tier leader of another race, seeing that Lin Xiao did not show respect to the city lord, couldn't wait to jump out and express his opinion.

But just as he opened his mouth, before he could even utter a sound...

The city lord, seated at the head of the table, casually waved his hand, and a visible green palm slapped him aside.

This interrupted the previous silence. The city lord looked at Lin Xiao and suddenly asked, "You must be the strongest survivor among this group right now!"

Although the city lord's words appeared to be a question, his tone was one of absolute certainty.

Lin Xiao nodded in agreement. After all, any survivor could find out about this, so there was nothing to hide.

"To have reached such a level in just one month is truly astonishing..." Even the fifth-rank city lord was somewhat surprised by Lin Xiao's rapid growth to the fourth rank.

Moreover, through the city lord's perception, he discovered that this survivor's fourth-tier strength was probably second only to his own here.

The city lord was eager to continue chatting with Lin Xiao, but the situation outside forced him to jump straight into the conversation.

"This is Mr. Lin Xiao, right? I learned your name from your clan!"

The city lord paused, as if giving Lin Xiao some time to process the situation, before continuing, "Starting a week ago, our entire Wood Soul Domain has been subjected to inexplicable attacks."

"I heard that you visited the Wood Soul Domain half a month ago. At that time, the Wood Soul Domain was full of life, but now, the creatures in this Wood Soul City are probably the entirety of the Wood Soul Domain!"

As he spoke, the city lord let out a deep sigh.

However, as mentioned before, due to their inherent weakness against dark flames, they are always at a disadvantage on any battlefield.

This led to their continuous defeats, and they were eventually forced to retreat into the Wood Soul City.

Perhaps because the other side also felt that there were too many powerful people gathered in Wood Soul City, or perhaps they had other considerations, in any case, the Dark Sun Forest side did not launch a full-scale attack on Wood Soul City.

However, the people of Wood Soul City were forever trapped inside the city.

Lin Xiao looked at the city lord who was constantly telling him about the crisis in the Wood Soul Domain, and his expression was somewhat strange.

In fact, Lin Xiao did not want to get involved in this crisis that could destroy the Wood Soul Domain, since he had only come to find the Queen Ant.

But the city lord preemptively sensed Lin Xiao's intention to refuse and quickly added, "If you can help our Wood Soul City overcome this crisis, I can let you choose an item from my treasure vault, even one of my three fifth-tier items!"

Lin Xiao, who was about to refuse, immediately stopped what she was about to say.

Lin Xiao looked intently at the city lord, and he saw a hint of expectation in the city lord's eyes.

Lin Xiao pondered the city lord's words. He had heard the city lord say that the current crisis in Wood Soul City needed to be resolved, not the current crisis in Wood Soul Domain.

Lin Xiao opened her mouth, then said, "How can I be sure you won't go back on your word?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's question, all the fourth-tier experts around him chuckled.

One of the fourth-tier leaders couldn't help but say, "Our city lord of Wood Soul City is the Thorn Knight King of the Thorn Clan. He became city lord not only because of his strength, but also because of his unwavering integrity—he has never lied!"

"Otherwise, the leaders of our remaining races wouldn't have come to Wood Soul City seeking his protection in the first place!"
