Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 967 - 119: Breakthrough, Dihong City (Part 2)

Chapter 967: Chapter 119: Breakthrough, Dihong City (Part 2)

Half a day later, Yun Sheng arrived at Dihong City with nearly a thousand Beiming Guards.

Yun Sheng figured that Bo Bo must have already reached Dihong City, but as soon as she approached it, she noticed something was off in the city.

The gates of Dihong City were wide open, and a pink figure flew out from the city walls as soon as it spotted Yun Sheng, rushing straight into her arms.

"Beloved master, Bo Bo completed the task. The people in Dihong City have surrendered; only a few from the City Lord Mansion and the cowardly Prince escaped," Bo Bo chirped as it recounted with great fanfare how it assisted Yuan Bupo and others in a fierce battle with Li Shao and his men, capturing Dihong City before dawn.

"The city has been captured, and Yuan Bupo did it?" Yun Sheng was taken aback.

It wasn’t that Yun Sheng doubted Yuan Bupo’s strength, but capturing Dihong City with Li Shao present was no easy feat.

"Bo Bo, that’s because the almighty Bo Bo Realm God was there, scaring that cowardly Li Shao so much that he couldn’t even cast magic properly," Bo Bo would never admit that when Li Shao saw it, he unleashed a massive Fireball that nearly burned its proud curly fur.

Just thinking about it made Bo Bo grind its teeth; if it ever encounters that damn Li Shao, it would definitely torment and toy with him!

The surprise attack went smoothly overall, but there was one oversight. Yuan Bupo didn’t anticipate there being multiple routes within the City Lord Mansion, and with the help of several mages, Li Shao managed to escape with a few female companions from the mansion.

Yuan Bupo, leading a few guards from the Yuan Family and the Ice and Fire Phoenix, pursued them and hasn’t returned yet.

"Long Feng, come with me to track down the Xuan Family people, while the other Beiming Guards enter Dihong City and carefully deploy," Yun Sheng understood that to lure back the City Lord, they must capture those from the City Lord Mansion, especially Young Madam Qing and Xuan Meimei.

Otherwise, capturing Dihong City would be pointless.

Yun Sheng immediately summoned Little Black and, along with Bo Bo, Long Feng, followed the trail left by Yuan Bupo and others.

Ten miles outside Dihong City, on a vast plain, Li Shao and several female companions from the City Lord Mansion were breaking through under the cover of a group of mages.

"Tsk, is that kid Yuan Bupo crazy, pursuing us all the way here? Hasn’t he already captured Dihong City? Does he plan to exterminate us?" Li Shao, feeling proud as the City Lord’s son-in-law, was complacent.

He had known earlier that Xuan Meimei had secretly admired Yuan Bupo for years.

Although Xuan Meimei ultimately ended up with him, he knew she still had feelings for Yuan Bupo.

As Yuan Bupo’s strength grew daily, Li Shao grew envious, using the absence of the Dihong City Lord to suppress him.

Li Shao never expected that the usually uninterested in power and status Yuan Bupo would launch a sudden night raid.

Yuan Bupo’s strength was formidable too. With Emperor’s Song Chapter Seven and the Ice and Fire Phoenix, it was only thanks to Lady Qing knowing of a secret passage that they managed to escape with a few loyal guards; otherwise, they would have been captured.

Now that Dihong City had fallen, and without a demon beast for continuous travel, they could only rely on magic and their legs to flee.

"Second Prince, where are we fleeing to? Why don’t we first hide in the nearby Tangyuan Town?" Lady Qing panted. She was just a weak woman, with mediocre magic and fighting spirit abilities.

But she was more worried about her daughter Xuan Meimei, who was now pregnant. Such constant fleeing wasn’t good for the unborn child.

"We can’t go to Tangyuan. Crown Prince Li Cheng has a good relationship with the Yuan Family, who knows if he and Yuan Bupo will collaborate from within. Then we’d be trapped like turtles in a jar. We should go to Great Zhou, find the City Lord and Marquis Weiyuan. The Yuan Family won’t be smug for long," Li Shao gritted his teeth.

He had already lost influence in Tangyuan, with Dihong City being his last straw.

The sudden betrayal of Yuan Bupo was unexpected, and upon reflection, seeking refuge with the Dihong City Lord seemed the wisest choice.

When the Dihong City Lord returns, they can certainly retake Dihong City and eliminate Yuan Bupo.

"You won’t reach Great Zhou," a beam of ice-blue light, like an arrow, pierced through the clouds and landed in front of Li Shao and his group.

The Ice and Fire Phoenix circled in the air, with Yuan Bupo standing on its back. At that moment, his sword-like brows furrowed as he sternly gazed at the three people at their wit’s end below.

"Yuan Bupo, don’t bully people too much," Li Shao knew Yuan Bupo’s strength wasn’t ordinary and couldn’t afford to underestimate him.

Behind him, magical wings flapped, and as he chanted, several magic rockets emitted dazzling golden light, suddenly transforming into four fire snakes that charged towards Yuan Bupo and the Ice and Fire Phoenix.

"Advanced Magic, Fire Snake Dance."

On the ground, Xuan Meimei and Lady Qing watched the battle between the two, their eyes widened, and their hearts raced.

Yuan Bupo and Li Shao were rare magical geniuses on the continent.

Each fire snake instantly ignited the air.

But Yuan Bupo didn’t flinch; with a wave of his short flute, a mysterious water magic element emitted from the originally green flute.

"Clang"

The four fire snakes were blocked by an ice wall that sliced through the air.

That ice wall, neither touching the sky nor the ground, was like a large knife neatly slicing the four fire snakes into two.

The cold water magic elements instantly froze the fire snakes into ice blocks, which fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Li Shao was dazed; he hadn’t expected Yuan Bupo’s magic manipulation ability to reach such an astonishing level.

Xuan Meimei, seeing this, ignored Lady Qing’s persuasion, holding her waist and stumbling forward. She pleaded tearfully, "Brother Bupo, we grew up together. Can’t you spare us? You’ve already taken Dihong City. Please, for the sake of the child in my womb, spare Li Shao. The child can’t be born without a father."

As she spoke, tears rolled down Xuan Meimei’s cheeks, and she knelt down, desperately pleading with Yuan Bupo.

The Xuan Family was deeply rooted in Dihong City, and annihilating them would surely lead to another bloody storm when the City Lord returned.

Yuan Bupo hesitated; as he wavered, Xuan Meimei exchanged glances with Li Shao, their eyes filled with malice.

As the saying goes, the most venomous is a woman’s heart, and it referred precisely to someone like Xuan Meimei.

She had loved Yuan Bupo, but after he regarded her intentions as worthless while he pined for Yun Sheng, she began to hate him.

She continued her quiet pleading, while giving Li Shao a ready signal with her eyes.

Li Shao grinned insidiously. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Li Shao, besides being skilled in magic, was most adept at deceit.

Knowing he couldn’t kill Yuan Bupo with magic alone, he secretly reached into his cloak for a magical artifact.
