Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 970 - 122: Bo Bo’s Unexpected Discovery

After the death of the City Lord’s Wife, only Xuan Sitian knew the whereabouts of the White Tiger Imperial Jade.

Xuan Sitian thought to himself that the secret path mentioned by this lowly woman was indeed hidden, and it was impossible for ordinary people to find it.

"Someone, throw this wretched woman’s corpse outside the barracks to feed the Demon Beasts. Hmph, a woman who doesn’t know the meaning of death; if not for the sake of the Imperial Jade, do you think I would have tolerated you for so many years? Great Zhou is within reach, let alone an Emperor Hong City, even if it means sacrificing everyone’s life around me, I, as the City Lord, would pay no heed," Emperor Hong City Lord laughed.

His actions made several of his guards feel cold-hearted.

"The City Lord killed the wife; does that mean something happened in Emperor Hong City?" A few guards dared not speak, carrying the corpse out of the barracks.

"Don’t ask too many questions; didn’t you see the wife’s fate? I somehow feel that the City Lord hasn’t been right lately," the guards sighed as they walked to the barracks entrance and happened to meet with the Marquis Weiyuan.

"You two, stop there! Sneaking around, what are you moving out of the camp?" Marquis Weiyuan asked with a dark face.

He had been under a lot of pressure from Emperor Hong City Lord recently.

He had originally intended to ask Marquis Weiyuan for help, but Xuan Sitian directly seized his military control, and now, he has become the actual commander in the camp.

"Get away; since when did the City Lord’s affairs fall under your jurisdiction," the two guards said disdainfully.

They all looked down on Marquis Weiyuan, who, as a Great Zhou General, colluded with external forces to betray his country, and the City Lord actually cooperated with such a person.

The two guards ignored Marquis Weiyuan, carried the corpse out of the barracks, found a wasteland, and threw the corpse away.

After the two guards walked away, the Marquis Weiyuan sneaked out.

He took a closer look at the corpse and recognized it as the wife of Emperor Hong City Lord.

Upon examining the wound, he found that the City Lord’s Wife was strangled to death.

The City Lord’s Wife is dead?

Could it be that something really happened in Emperor Hong City, that letter actually spoke the truth?

Marquis Weiyuan hurried back to his room, closed the door, walked to the Lighting Magic Array, and secretly took out a letter.

The letter was written several days ago by the "Regent King of Great Zhou."

Initially, Marquis Weiyuan did not believe it, but now it seems that the "Regent King" is indeed still alive.

"The Regent King’s disappearance is just a ruse; the purpose is to attack Emperor Hong City. If the situation is truly as foretold, then this rebellion of mine will certainly lead to death, it’s over, it’s over," Marquis Weiyuan, known for being treacherous and timid, thought.

After pondering for a night, the manner of the City Lord’s Wife’s death lingered in his mind. Before dawn, Marquis Weiyuan secretly slipped away, and before leaving, he took some Gold Coins and all valuable items from the treasury.

Marquis Weiyuan left without even bringing his family, carrying only two Storage Rings filled with money and headed towards Penglai.

The New Emperor of Hou Qin has just ascended, Tang Yuan and Li Shao have fallen, Great Zhou cannot accommodate a rebellious general, and as for Xianju, a place outside the world, it can’t possibly accept a traitor like him.

Thinking it over, the only place Marquis Weiyuan could turn to was the Penglai Summoning Court.

Only, Marquis Weiyuan did not expect to encounter Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao before escaping Great Zhou.

"You! What are you doing here?" Marquis Weiyuan was terrified.

"Tsk tsk, the Regent King was right, this coward indeed planned to secretly flee the country. She even predicted that you were planning to escape to Penglai," Cheng Bai joked, while Bu Jiuxiao glared angrily at Marquis Weiyuan.

The two stepped closer, Marquis Weiyuan knelt in fear and begged, followed by a tragic cry, then everything returned to calm.

Bu Jiuxiao kicked away Marquis Weiyuan’s lifeless body and searched for a few Storage Rings on him.

"Tsk tsk, Marquis Weiyuan is really ruthless; he probably took most of the valuable goods and Military Supplies from the barracks with him? This means Xuan Sitian won’t be able to hold on for much longer," Cheng Bai clicked his tongue while checking the resources in the Storage Rings.

Without these Military Supplies, it seems that Emperor Hong City Lord and his people won’t be able to sustain for much longer.

"First, deliver the news to Yun Sheng; she should have another plan," said Bu Jiuxiao, ordering someone to send a message to Emperor Hong City.

Meanwhile, Emperor Hong City Lord was still immersed in his dream of becoming the Emperor of Great Zhou.

"City Lord! City Lord, it’s not good, Marquis Weiyuan is missing; some say the Regent King of Great Zhou has returned, and after this news spread, morale in the barracks collapsed, and many soldiers want to rebel," a guard rushed into the command tent.

Xuan Sitian was shocked upon hearing this.

That opportunistic Marquis Weiyuan actually retreated at such a critical moment!

Emperor Hong City Lord was furious but helpless.

This rebellion, although it was a collusion between him and Marquis Weiyuan, most of the military force was assembled by Marquis Weiyuan; he only brought part of Emperor Hong City’s elite.

"Hold the position; even in death, hold it. If anyone dares to rebel, kill them all!" Xuan Sitian said coldly and sternly.

Why did the initially favorable situation take such a sudden downturn overnight?

Emperor Hong City fell, Marquis Weiyuan defected; these happenings occurred within this day and night. Why was it so coincidental?

Emperor Hong City Lord sensed something was amiss, but cunning as he was, he couldn’t figure out at the moment what went wrong.

However, Emperor Hong City Lord did not foresee that worse situations were awaiting him.

Inside Emperor Hong City, Yun Sheng had already received the news of Marquis Weiyuan’s death.

"Xuan Sitian still refuses to retreat; he is steadier than we anticipated," Long Feng has already arranged inside Emperor Hong City, just waiting for Xuan Sitian to return.

Unexpectedly, knowing Emperor Hong City had fallen and Marquis Weiyuan had defected, Xuan Sitian could still hold steady.

"No problem, I’ve already asked Uncle Huo and Ancestor Master to prepare for the subsequent actions. For now, we only need to wait," Yun Sheng said calmly, not believing that her prepared "last straw" couldn’t crush Xuan Sitian.

In Emperor Hong City, after staying a few days, Yun Sheng was busy collaborating with Long Feng to set up city defenses, planning to deliver a fatal blow upon Xuan Sitian’s return.

On one side, Yun Sheng was busy, while Bo Bo was having endless fun.

Since Bo Bo learned human speech, it very much enjoyed interacting with people.

Especially some children in the city, seeing Bo Bo’s adorable look, played with it endlessly.

Bo Bo relying on its special ability to break various Magic Restriction, has always been the number one hide-and-seek expert among the Demon Beasts.

On this day, Bo Bo hid in a residence as usual, and after waiting a long time, realized no one was looking for it.

Bo Bo didn’t know that the kitchen it randomly hid in was actually the City Lord Mansion.
