Chapter 2317: Saying is one thing, doing is another Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Those men were from the Devilry City and they had come up with such a scheme. How could he let them in without his Master’s command? Hearing this, a light flashed in Feng Jiu’s eyes. With her lips curved into a smile, she motioned to Elder Gu. “Come over, incline your ear.” Elder Gu went over immediately, bent his body forward and listened to her speaking in a hushed tone. His face was startled to hear her words. “Is that clear?” Feng Jiu asked with her eyebrows raised. “Yes, I’ll get ready right away.” Elder Gu answered in a daze. After giving Feng Jiu a glance with a complicated look on his face, he left quickly. Feng Jiu smiled at Elder Gu’s dumbstruck look, then with a flip of her hand, she took out the wine from the space and had a drink… Meanwhile, in front of the city gate, Elder Gu arrived at the city gate tower, looked down, and addressed the group of about thirty people outside the gate. “My Master heard that your Lord has sent you here with gifts, so she ordered you to enter the city. You’ve had a tiring journey, so please take a rest and eat some meat inside.” As he spoke, he raised his hand as a gesture for the boundary barrier and the city gate to be opened. Gu Xiang with his people came to welcome them below. “Please come in, everyone!” The devilry cultivators who came sending gifts didn’t even think of this scene before. They didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. It seemed that Phoenix City’s City Lord was also interested in their master. Their master’s strength was one of the best here. Since she was smart, she would naturally know what choice was the best for her. After all, how could she defend Phoenix City as a woman? Could she even protect herself? Their moods soared instantly. At first, they thought it was a difficult mission, but now it seemed there were still some benefits. As a result, with arrogant smirks on their faces, they strode inside with their heads held high. But, when they were just stepping inside, two ferocious sacred beasts suddenly appeared and scared them. “They are the ferocious beasts guarding the gate. Don’t be afraid. Come in with me!” Gu Xiang said, taking them inside. As soon as they entered, the boundary barrier behind them closed and so did the city gate. The devilry cultivators didn’t think much of it as only a few cultivators, including an old man, came to meet them. After all, they didn’t even think that the people of Phoenix City would dare to attack them. It should be known that attacking them would mean slapping their Master in the face and declaring war on their Devilry City! With their Devilry City’s people numbering several hundred, plus their Master’s Immortal Venerable strength, it would be foolish to attack them. “These are the treasures our Master asked us to send.” With a wave of his hand, a devilry cultivator in front took out four large chests in the space ring, put them at the front, and he then came over to open them one by one. Elder Gu took a glance and saw treasures inside, so he waved to his subordinates to carry them away. As soon as the things were taken away, Elder Gu withdrew and yelled at the same time. “People, come! Give them a good greeting!” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 A hundred people appeared in an instant, surrounded and attacked the thirty people. With a hundred cultivators against the thirty people, it ended an overwhelming victory without having to wage a battle. There were screams and exclamations, among the commotion, a devilry cultivator shouted, “How dare you attack us! You’re declaring war on our Devilry City! You want to die... Aah....”
