Chapter 650 - 650: Invasion
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After seeing the mission options, Wang Mang was stunned.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire?
However, what puzzled Wang Mang was this.
Qingmu City was so powerful, yet there were factions or forces that dared to invade it?
After all, Qingmu City had no less than 20 Tier 5 experts, or perhaps even more.
As a result, Qingmu City could be considered one of the top factions on the Sage Emperor Continent, even among the tens of thousands of factions.
Which faction would dare to provoke it?
Furthermore, from Wang Mang’s point of view, if they really dared to provoke Qingmu City…
Then the other party’s forces were absolutely terrifying!
Thus, Wang Mang fell into a state of deep thought.
The mission options all had different rewards, which likely corresponded to their difficulty. There was no need to talk about the first mission option, as Wang Mang would never choose this unless he was given no choice.
As for the second mission, it was to provide the northern district of the city with support. Seeing as how the rewards were rather paltry, it was likely that the battle here would not be too difficult, but would also likely not affect the overall course of the invasion much.
In comparison, the third mission option would likely be where the heaviest fighting would be. Otherwise, why would the reward for this mission option be so much higher?
That being said, Wang Mang still preferred the fourth mission option, as it had the most rewards, and also allowed him to become a city lord. In the long run, this would yield far greater benefits than most one-off rewards.
Thinking this, Wang Mang had already made his choice.
“System, 1 choose Mission 4!”
[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
After hearing the system’s confirmation, Wang Mang was in a good mood.
However, at this moment, the old servant’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the seclusion room.
“Master?”
Wang Mang waved his hand, and the stone door to the secluded room opened.
Looking at the old servant in front of him, Wang Mang frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“General, the East City Lord wants you to go over.”
The old servant bowed respectfully.
Although he was also very curious about why there were so many people in the cultivation room, he was smart enough not to ask.
Hearing this, Wang Mang immediately understood it was likely due to the invasion of Qingmu City.
He waved his hand and said, “Very good, I understand. You may leave.”
“Yes, General.” The old servant nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
Then, Wang Mang turned to Wu Shi. “Let’s go! Follow me to take a look at the situation.”
Wu Shi nodded slightly and set off with Wang Mang.
After leaving the seclusion room, Wang Mang headed straight for the East City Lord’s Mansion.
The East City Lord, who had been waiting in the hall, was taken aback when he saw Wang Mang and Wu Shi.
After coming back to his senses, the old city lord looked at Wang Mang in astonishment.
That was because he could see that Wang Mang had reached Tier 5!
Furthermore, Wang Mang was now strong enough to be a city lord!
How had he done it? From a peak-level Tier 4 expert to the middle-stage of the Zenith Heaven realm!
Was this even possible?
Now, he was certain that Wang Mang would not remain as the East Vice-City Lord for long. If any of the other city lords fell, Wang Mang would probably assume their position.
Especially since Black Dragon City was now invading Qingmu City.
At the thought of this, the East City Lord fell silent for a moment before saying, “Wang Mang, Qingmu City and Black Dragon City are already at loggerheads.”
“I will personally guard the eastern district, but I am worried that the other districts will fall.”
“Since you’ve also broken through to Tier 5, you can help.”
“How about this? Since 1 can handle things here, you can go to the west or north sides to held”
Hearing this, Wang Mang immediately nodded. “I will obey your orders, East City Lord.”
The East City Lord then waved his hand at Wang Mang and said, “Go!”
After that, Wang Mang left with Wu Shi and headed straight for the western district of Qingmu City.
As for why they did not need reinforcements in the south?
This was because the South City Lord’s strength was not much weaker than the East City Lord. He was also a late-stage Zenith Heaven realm expert.
Half an hour later, Wang Mang finally arrived at the western district, and was stunned by what he saw there.
Eight Tier 5 experts were fighting!
Among them, there were four mid-stage Zenith Heaven realm experts, and four early-stage Zenith Heaven realm experts.
At this moment, they were fighting to the death near the West Gate, and both sides seemed to be evenly matched.
However, not long after, the battle situation changed when several more mid-stage Zenith Heaven realm experts appeared, who were from the first-rate forces in the western district.
As they were beginning to be suppressed, the four Tier 5 experts from Black Dragon City chose to retreat.
Seeing this, Wang Mang felt a little regretful. He was hoping to see the West City Lord be defeated in order to take over the latter’s position.
However, it seemed like the West City Lord had the support of the first-rate forces here, and currently held the advantage.
Thinking this, Wang Mang could place his hopes on the northern district, and began his journey there.
In Wang Mang’s opinion, the Floly Lord definitely did not have such good support, as he had just assumed the position.
When he arrived at the northern district, Wang Mang saw what he wanted to see. The Holy Lord and the new North Vice-City Lord were being beaten back by the invading experts, of which there were a total of six.
Three mid-stage Zenith Heaven realm experts and three early-stage Zenith Heaven realm experts.
At this moment, if it was not for the fact that the Holy Lord had people helping him, he would have been crushed long ago.
However, looking at the current situation, even if Wang Mang did not interfere, these six experts might not be able to defeat the North City Lord.
Then, just as Wang Mang was considering whether to intervene, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared. This black-robed figure was an eighth-level Zenith Heaven realm expert!
After this expert appeared, he did not hesitate at all and immediately attacked the North City Lord!
