Seven days later.

Night, Spark City.

Spark City, which was once famous for its lights at night, is now completely dark, with few lights visible. Even if it is an entire street, there are only a handful of lanterns hanging at the door. In the past, the commercial streets were very bustling and lively at night.

It was completely deserted at this moment. The doors of every house were closed tightly, not daring to open them.

Since the War of the Eight Kingdoms, the only sixth-level Celestial Master in the Ziye Kingdom lost his life, causing the strength of the Ziye Kingdom to be greatly reduced. Foreign countries invaded, and no grass grew wherever the sixth-level Celestial Master went. The Ziye Kingdom could only retreat steadily.

The situation is not much better than that of Tiancheng Kingdom. Fortunately, both Midnight Kingdom and Tiancheng Kingdom are coastal countries, with the sea to the south, and the south is considered safer.

Like the Tiancheng Kingdom, the northern part of the Midnight Kingdom fell, leaving only the south. Spark City is located in the southeast, so it can be considered safe for the time being.

However, safety is only relative. Since the war, more and more people have committed crimes. Everyone no longer abides by the law. Many people from Tiancheng Kingdom have also fled here, including many heavenly masters. So

Spark City has also become particularly chaotic, leading to the current scene.

"However, I'm afraid things are going to change recently." In the city lord's palace, the meeting hall was full of people. Those who can sit here are all important figures in Spark City, and the leader is naturally the new city lord of Spark City.

It's just that the city lord didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just one year after taking over Spark City.

Under the stage, everyone from Spark Academy was sitting, including the dean, teachers, and others. Li Hongtang, Han Ying, and others were also present. There were also some other important figures, such as Liu Yi, the owner of the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce.

"What happened?" The dean looked at the city lord and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that the front line is still stable and can it last for a while?"

The city lord shook his head and said bitterly, "Some ministers in the imperial capital mutinied and led their troops to surrender to the enemy. Although they were suppressed in the end, it also greatly damaged our vitality. The enemy took advantage of this and drove in, and the king led his people south.

Evacuate, we will be attacked soon, within half a month at the latest."

As he said that, the city lord looked bitter and looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone was silent after hearing this. No one present had ever experienced war. They all thought that such a thing would never happen to them, not to mention that the Midnight Kingdom was very stable, but they did not expect that everything would happen so suddenly.

"No matter what, Spark City is our home!" the dean said through gritted teeth, "Xinghuo City is our home!"

The city will always belong to the Midnight Kingdom and will never become the territory of any other country! If you want to invade the Star Fire City, you must die!"

"That's right!" Li Hongtang also stood up and said loudly, "Since I was a child, I have been able to live in Spark City and grow up in a stable environment. The fact that I have been able to get to where I am today is all because of Midnight Kingdom!

No matter what, I will not let Midnight Kingdom die in front of me!"

"That's right!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Seeing everyone's excitement, the city lord was also very pleased. He originally wanted to mobilize everyone for ideological work, but he didn't expect it to be used at all, so he asked people to serve wine and have a drink with everyone.

After a long time, someone realized something was wrong and asked drunkenly, "By the way, where is President Liu?"

At this time, on the roof of the Yaoguang Chamber of Commerce headquarters, a beautiful figure was sitting on the ridge, overlooking the dimmed Spark City.

"Will you die for your country?" The cool breeze blew her long hair, and she said softly as if talking to herself. She smiled and said, "It's ridiculous."

Liu Yi looked at the huge Spark City. In her heart, she had no idea of ​​sacrificing her life for the country. Because in her heart, this country had never done anything to her.

She was born in a poor family. There were not many families in the village, but she was often harassed by bandits. Once the bandits came, they were arrested and said that they were too poor and had no money and they would be sold as slaves. Later, they were sold as slaves.

I happened to meet the Zhou family passing by. The robbers wanted to rob the Zhou family for some reason, but they were killed by the Zhou family.

However, the Zhou family did not want to save her family. Instead, they killed her like a robber, regardless of begging for mercy.

The people of the Zhou family saw that although Liu Yi was young, she had a good face, so they did not want to take her back as a maid. Later, when Liu Yi grew up, in order to protect herself, she studied hard every day, and finally got rid of the status of a maid with her own ability.

, growing up little by little.

In her opinion, her status today and everything she has are earned with her own hands. This country has not given her any benefits, has not given her the most basic security, let alone given her status or life.

Therefore, she never had any good impression of Midnight Kingdom from the beginning to the end.

.

When she and her family were harassed by bandits, where were the people of the country? When her family was caught and trafficked, where was the country? When her family was killed and she was captured, where was the country? Now the country is about to perish.

Well, why should she contribute?

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly a voice sounded behind her without any warning, sending a chill down her spine and she quickly turned around and looked back.

"Lu An?!" Liu Yimei's eyes widened, uncontrollable surprise appeared on her face, and she quickly stood up from the ground!

"Yeah." Lu An smiled. He was very happy to see Liu Yi again and said, "Long time no see, but it's really easy to find you."

Liu Yi also laughed happily. She couldn't help but look at Lu An and said teasingly, "I haven't seen you for nearly a year. It seems that your strength has increased a lot. You didn't even notice when you appeared behind me."

"Well, mid-level three." Lu An said with a smile. There was nothing to hide from Liu Yi.

"Wow, this speed of progress is really enviable!" Liu Yi said with a smile, "The last time we met was at the early stage of Level 2, and now it is the middle stage of Level 3. What kind of pills did you take? Is there something hidden?

Give it to me to eat, sister?"

"If I had such a pill, I would have given it to you long ago." Lu An knew Liu Yi was joking, so he said with a smile.

"I thought that when I first met you, I could easily subdue you, but now I'm afraid you can subdue me with one hand." Liu Yi said with a smile, "I have to be more careful with you in the future, just in case.

One day you get mad at me and want to do something wrong to me, I won't even have the ability to resist."

"..." Lu An felt embarrassed, changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here alone?"

"I just came out of a meeting at the City Lord's Mansion." After hearing Lu An's question, Liu Yi also put away her smile and said softly, "The rebels will be coming soon, and they are discussing how to respond to the enemy. I felt bored, so I left by myself.

Already."

When Lu An heard Liu Yi's words, it seemed as if there was no surprise. Instead, he smiled softly and said, "I knew you would be like this."

Liu Yi was startled, looked at Lu An strangely, then figured out something, and said with a smile, "It's because we are all poor children."

Lu An also smiled and nodded.

Maybe there is only happiness

Only those who have a sense of belonging to the country will have a sense of belonging to the country. Lu An is a slave, and slaves are slaves wherever they are. Life is lower than that of pigs and dogs, and they are not human at all.

"The war is coming. I can't save others. I'm here to take you away." Lu An looked at Liu Yi and said seriously, "What are your plans?"

Liu Yi shook her head slightly and said, "Right now, there is chaos outside and fighting is happening everywhere. The same goes for the surrounding countries. I am only a second-level Heavenly Master. Even if I want to run away, where can I run?"

Lu An smiled when he heard this. During the seven days on the road, he first returned to Dacheng Tianshan and used Yang Meiren's formation to return to Purple Lake City, and then passed through the Holy Fire Gate to Jingnan City. Jingnan City was only two cities away from Spark City, so

He arrived here quickly. During these seven days, he also thought about many things.

"If you want to leave, I have a good place to go." Lu An said with a smile, "It's called Purple Lake City. It's on the southwest side of the Bagu Continent, very far away from here. It's very quiet there, even though it's just a city.

The strength is no different from that of a country."

Yes, Lu An discussed this matter with Yang Meiren before coming here. Although he is Yang Meiren's master, Purple Lake City belongs to Yang Meiren after all, and he must discuss it with her.

However, Lu An thought too much about this matter, and Yang Meiren did not refuse. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, Lu An's friends will not be bad in character. And Purple Lake City also needs talents. There is a large floating population, and there are more people and fewer people.

There is no difference between people at all.

"Purple Lake City?" Liu Yi's eyes brightened obviously and she asked, "Are there any business opportunities there? Can I make money?"

"Yes." Lu An looked at Liu Yi's crazy look and said with a smile, "And there are many, many more than in Spark City."

"Then I'm going!" Liu Yi immediately patted her slender thigh and said excitedly, "When will we set off?"

"I have a few more people to meet, and I will leave after meeting them." Lu An said with a smile.

Liu Yi nodded, knowing that Lu An had other friends in Spark City. After thinking about it, she asked teasingly, "Is it possible that the first person you are looking for is me?"

Lu An was stunned, then blushed a little, nodded awkwardly, and said, "Yeah."

"He is indeed a good brother!" Liu Yi happily hugged Lu An and said, "So, you also live in Purple Lake City, right?"

Lu An was startled, shook his head and said, "I'm not here."
