Chapter 222 Promise "Tell me the details. How were they captured? Do you know where they are now?" Long Zungui bowed again, and Wang Nan didn't want to say anything more after seeing his expression. He could only say that the name was not wrong, and Long Zungui could no longer let go of the idea of high and low. "Since we changed our names, our Long family has been moving around. It was not until the Spirit Hall was gradually forgotten by people that we settled down in Tiandou City. After hundreds of years, our family has grown to more than a hundred people." Wang Nan nodded. It sounded like the Long family was in a slightly better situation than the Pan family. With a population of more than a hundred in Tiandou City, it meant that there were already quite a few spirit masters in the family. "A few months ago, Tiandou City was conquered by the Sun and Moon Empire..." "Wait." Wang Nan suddenly interrupted him, "When did you say Tiandou City was breached?" "Just a few months ago. To be specific, it was probably more than three months ago." Wang Nan paused after listening to Long Zungui's words. If he remembered correctly, the original Tiandou City was quickly conquered not long after the war began because of the Sun and Moon Empire's feint to the east and attack to the west. Even before Wang Nan entered the Dragon Tomb, the Tianhun Empire's defense line had been breached by the Sun and Moon Empire, and it was not far from Tiandou City. How could it be that Tiandou City was not breached until now? "I have been in seclusion for two years and I don't know what is happening outside. How is the war between the Sun-Moon Empire and the three great empires going?"
"Two years ago..." Long Zungui was silent for a moment, as if recalling, "Two years ago, the Sun-Moon Empire suddenly launched a war, and the Tianhun Empire's defense line was breached before it could hold out for long. The Sun-Moon Empire's army won victory after victory, and soon attacked Tiandou City." "It was just that the Sun-Moon Empire suddenly withdrew its troops at that time. Later we received news that sea soul beasts suddenly attacked several coastal cities of the Sun-Moon Empire. Dongyang City was even breached at one point, with countless casualties." "So the Sun-Moon Empire had to stop the attack and withdraw its troops to deal with the attacks of the sea soul beasts. Later, when the Sun-Moon Empire calmed down the attacks of the sea soul beasts in its territory, the Sky Soul Empire had also re-arranged its defenses. It took a year for Tiandou City to be breached by the Sun-Moon Empire." Wang Nan frowned as he listened to Long Zungui's account of the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Sky Soul Empire. The progress of the war was completely different from what he remembered. "What about the Xingluo Empire?" "This... We don't know much. We only heard that there have been constant exchanges of fire in the Mingdou Mountains, but they have not been attacked by the Sun and Moon Empire." "Let's continue talking about those children." Wang Nan did not continue asking. “Yes, yes.” Long Zungui nodded repeatedly. “The Sun-Moon Empire’s troops were at the gates of the city, and my Long family also joined the Tiandou City garrison in defending Tiandou City. However, we were simply no match for the Sun-Moon Empire’s soul guide cannon attacks. Even with the help of the Body Sect, we were still defeated in the end.” "However, after Tiandou City was breached, the Sun Moon Empire's army did not impose too many restrictions on the residents of the city, except for forcing civilians to use soul guides. Therefore, we also found an opportunity to escape from Tiandou City." "Just after we left the city, we encountered the army of the Sun-Moon Empire. In order to break through, the tribesmen had no choice but to fight to the death. Who would have known..." "Are there evil soul masters in the Sun-Moon Empire's army?" Wang Nan added the second half of the sentence. "That's right." Long Zungui lowered his head. "Didn't you know before that there were evil soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire's army?" "The Sun-Moon Empire's army attacks with soul guides most of the time. If you don't get close to the battle, it's difficult to tell whether they are evil soul masters or not." It was no longer a secret among the three empires that there was collusion between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church. It seems that the three empires have not made this news public. But think about it, in fact, although most soul masters hate evil soul masters, they are also afraid of them. In addition to being evil, evil soul masters also have strengths that exceed those of ordinary soul masters. If the news of evil soul masters is widely spread, it is likely that it will not attract everyone's hatred of the enemy, but fear of evil soul masters. "Were they captured and taken back to Tiandou City?" "We were in Tiandou City a few months ago, but we don't know where we are now. Evil spirit masters are stronger than ordinary spirit masters, and we are no match for them. We had no choice but to remember the news from the Pan family. That's how we got your information and came all the way here." Wang Nan sighed.
Now that Tiandou City is in the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire, it is not easy to enter the city, let alone find someone to rescue people from it. What's more, after a few months, it might be too late. "Where are the rest of you now?" "We are now in Xingluo City. Except for us, most people who escaped from Tiandou City have fled to Shrek City." "I know the general situation. You guys go back first. I will go to Tiandou City later. But it's been so long. I'm afraid those children have met with an accident. It's probably impossible to save them." If Wang Nan were from the Holy Spirit Church, he probably would not keep those children who had the ability to control themselves for too long, and he would also investigate the families of those children and kill them all. Long Zungui raised his hand and wiped his eyes. "We also have such a guess, but it's not easy for our clan to have a child who awakened the dragon soul. It's really, really..." Long Zungui was already in tears. "You are the one who taught us the method to awaken the dragon soul. If you can help, my Long family is willing to worship you as our ancestor in the future." "I don't have such plans yet. Don't mention this matter again. You guys go back first." "Yes, yes." Long Zungui nodded repeatedly before turning around and leaving the yard. Wang Nan closed his eyes lightly, and in his spiritual perception, Long Zungui and the other man slowly left and entered the crowd. "Nan'er, these two people..." Wang Xing watched the whole process from the side. When he saw Long Zungui and the other two leave, he couldn't help but frowned, "It seems that these two people are not here to save people." Wang Nan withdrew his mental strength and nodded slightly. Although Long Zungui was full of concern for those children, his behavior was too much of a show. I'm afraid those children were not as important in Long Zungui's heart as he said. Especially since they repeatedly mentioned that they wanted to make me their ancestor, I'm afraid they were also afraid that the evil soul master would come to hunt them down, so they wanted me to rescue them just as a side effect, and more importantly, they wanted me to be their backer. Wang Nan didn't want to comment on other people's way of life, but it was unpleasant after all. "Nan'er, are you still going to Tiandou City?" "After all, I promised someone else, so I might as well go." I came back late today and didn't finish writing. I will make up for it later. It will be a little late. (End of this chapter)
