God of Pets-Chapter 606: Mute City

Today, two people came to Taishan City.

The head of the Ten Manors and City Lord Xuan Dongyue met with one of them together in the conference hall.

"City Lord, Manor Masters, I beg you to save Mute City." The man knelt before Xuan Dongyue and the heads of the Ten Manors, but his plea did not receive a positive response.

Even after the meeting ended, Chen Si was unsure how he left the conference room and arrived at the accommodations arranged by Taishan City.

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

Mute City, with its hundreds of thousands of people, had been besieged by Demons for a long time. Although there was secret support from various human forces, and supplies were constantly being sent to Mute City,

Mute City was still on the brink of collapse today.

Originally, the city had a population of nearly a million, but by now only twenty to thirty thousand remained.

This was because the Demons wanted to slowly consume human military strength and had not launched an all-out war to destroy the city.

In fact, if the Demons truly wanted to obliterate Mute City, it would have long been exterminated.

But doing so would also come at a significant cost to the Demons.

"Sir, Taishan City will not send troops; they fear the Demons," Chen Si's guard, Meng Man, said coldly. "As for now, there may only be one way to get Taishan City to act."

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

"I've heard that many direct descendants of the Ten Great Families are training in Taishan City. If we capture them and take them to Mute City, the Ten Great Families will not sit idly by and watch them be slaughtered by Demons; they will surely send aid," Meng Man said.

"Impossible... absolutely impossible..." Chen Si was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Rest assured, Sir, I am confident I can capture them all and take them to Mute City, ensuring your safe return to the city without any oversight," Meng Man seemed very confident in her abilities.

"This isn't just my personal issue; you don't understand. This plan can never work," Chen Si shook his head with a bitter smile.

"What do I not understand? Please enlighten me, Sir?" Meng Man looked at Chen Si, her eyes persistent.

"Meng Man, you're from a good background, you have good character, you're capable, and you're smart. But you're still too young, with limited experience, and you don't understand the human heart," Chen Si said with a wry smile. "If you really did that, the Ten Great Families would indeed send troops, but they would not be fighting the Demons; they would be destroying our Mute City."

"No way!" Meng Man was somewhat disbelieving.

"That's why I'm saying you lack experience and don't understand how terrible the human heart can be. In any case, this plan must never be executed unless you truly wish for Mute City to fall into an irrevocable plight," Chen Si said earnestly.

"If we don't do this, what else can we do? The Ten Great Families and the Ancestral Court don't care about our lives. Mute City, a city that doesn't belong to their forces, they're not going to risk fighting the Demons for us," Meng Man said.

"Taishan City is unreliable; we must seek help elsewhere," Chen Si sighed. Recently, he had been sighing more and more often.

"Where else can we seek help? We've already been to nearly ten cities, at most gaining some material support; no one is willing to send troops to help," Meng Man said with a grim face.

"It's not their fault; the Demons refrain from launching a full-scale attack because they want to annihilate the rescue forces and eventually swallow Mute City without bloodshed. In this situation, their reluctance to aid is understandable," Chen Si said.

"We can understand them, but who will understand the people of Mute City? Who will save their lives?" Meng Man said through gritted teeth.

"There is one person, someone who might be able to save us, save Mute City, and save everything," Chen Si's eyes suddenly shone with hope.

"Who? Who can save us now?" Meng Man asked, stunned.

"Zi Donglai... the Purple Marshal of the Purple Sun Corps..." Chen Si slowly uttered the name.

Upon hearing this, Meng Man was first stunned, then couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Sir, Zi Donglai and the Purple Sun Corps are indeed powerful. With only three hundred soldiers, they captured Celestial Yang City, took down Nine Demon City, and killed thousands of Demons. These are indeed god-like achievements."

After pausing, Meng Man continued, "But sir, have you thought about the fact that it's not thirty thousand Demons besieging our Mute City now, but two hundred thousand? And the commanders of the Demons are not just one or two brothers of Nine Demons, but four of them, backed by Demon King City. Their corps include many top experts sent by Demon King City."

"In such a large-scale war, Purple Marshal and those three hundred Purple Sun Cavalry find it challenging to play a decisive role as before."

"I know it's difficult, but we have no other path to take. The Purple Sun Corps went through the same ordeal; they should understand us. Now, all we have is this one last option," Chen Si said with a resolute gaze and then reminded Meng Man, "When we get to Celestial Yang City, be sure not to lose your temper with Purple Marshal."

"Rest assured, Sir, Meng Man will not mess up," Meng Man, though headstrong, knew the big picture and was not prone to losing her sense of proportion.

The previous suggestion was indeed the only option left.

She held great respect for Zi Donglai, just like many from Mute City, who regarded Zi Donglai as a War God after hearing about his and the Purple Sun Corps' achievements.

Many in Mute City called Zi Donglai the Purple Marshal, a supreme honor in Mute City, reserved only for commanders akin to a War God.

Early the next morning, Chen Si and Meng Man left Taishan City, not returning home but heading towards Celestial Yang City, their last hopeful destination.

...

Chen Guan returned to Celestial Yang City to inspect the ongoing repairs of the Suspended Island, which he now named "Purple Sun City" for use as the base for the Purple Sun Corps.

"The layout here needs to be adjusted, set aside this core area, and lay a solid foundation; I have new plans," Chen Guan said to Fujimura Reiko while holding blueprints.

"Okay," Fujimura Reiko confirmed the type of foundation Chen Guan needed and arranged for people to prepare it.

She had unconditional trust in Chen Guan and would follow whatever he wanted to do without question.

"Big brother, didn't you say you were looking for the Reverse Element Skill before? I heard some news about it," Fujimura Reiko spoke up after Chen Guan finished speaking.

"Someone is selling the Reverse Element Skill?" Chen Guan felt a surge of joy.

If he could buy the Reverse Element Skill, he wouldn't need to go through the hassle of heading to the Celestial Essence Sea.

"Not exactly, but someone captured a Yuan Ling Witch alive and intends to put her up for auction," Fujimura Reiko explained.

Chen Guan frowned slightly. It's true that Yuan Ling Witches can produce the Reverse Element Skill, but it's not guaranteed. Buying a Yuan Ling Witch doesn't necessarily mean obtaining the Reverse Element Skill.

"However, the person selling the Yuan Ling Witch may pose some trouble, and it might not be easy to trade with them," Fujimura Reiko hesitated to say.

"Who is selling the Yuan Ling Witch?" Chen Guan asked.

"The Female Demon Jin Taohua," Fujimura Reiko replied.
