362: Chapter 362 Li Xin Breaks Through to the Fourth Tier

It's over, it's over...

It would have been better to just let them say it.

The City Lord asked such a useless question!

Upon hearing the words of City Lord Li Xin, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then felt a bit amused and helpless in their hearts.

Lu Zheng looked at City Lord Li Xin, who immediately felt a chill in his heart; did he say something wrong? But he had clearly been the first to show concern for General Lu Zheng.

He had learned this from a book; it shouldn't have been wrong.

Lu Zheng naturally did not know what they were thinking. He only looked at City Lord Li Xin, noticing that his strength had reached the Peak of the Third Rank, at the verge of a Breakthrough, and immediately said:

"I will guard you during your Breakthrough."

"Break through to the Fourth-Rank as soon as possible."

"Now that the Second Spiritual Energy Revival has begun, the earlier you break through to the Fourth-Rank, the better."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, City Lord Li Xin's eyes widened, and he nodded immediately. How could he not be happy when such a huge surprise hit him? He immediately began his Breakthrough.

He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and raised his state to the Peak once again.

With General Lu Zheng present, there would be no issues with this Breakthrough.

Lu Zheng stood guard beside City Lord Li Xin and looked at the people around him. Those who were looked at stood respectfully; after seeing what had happened earlier, no one dared to sit.

"I have already crippled that member of the evil sect just now, but I did not kill him."

"He still has information we need to know; we need to find out what exactly the Holy Spirit Sect is up to."

"Go down and bring him up. Don't worry, he won't be waking up for a while."

Lu Zheng said slowly. One person nodded and brought up Ruan Zhengye, who was unconscious at the bottom of the hundred-meter-deep pit, looking as miserable as a corpse.

Those who didn't know would never imagine that this was a Town General.

"Take him down. I believe that with your methods, you will be able to make him talk."

"Yes, General Lu Zheng."

One person left with the unconscious Ruan Zhengye. Lu Zheng then looked at another person and gave arrangements for them to take the high-speed rail driver outside to bring back those who were stranded outside Baiyun City.

Lu Zheng did not need to specify the details; that person was capable enough to complete the task.

He then looked at the third person, who quickly stood straight.

"Tell me about the recent situation in Baiyun City."

"Yes, General Lu Zheng."

A moment later, Lu Zheng understood the situation in Baiyun City. His worries had not manifested; the earthquake that occurred during the Second Spiritual Energy Revival did not have a huge impact on Baiyun City.

Although many houses collapsed, there were not many casualties among the people.

This earthquake only caused the ground to expand. The distance between some buildings changed, and only a few unlucky ones had their entire buildings split down the middle.

However, this was not a bad thing, as the area of Baiyun City had expanded several times over.

Even if there were several times more people, they could easily fit.

Lu Zheng also learned that because of the Second Spiritual Energy Revival, all contact between Baiyun City and the outside world had been severed. This was exactly as Lu Zheng had thought; at this moment, all major cities around the world had lost contact with the outside.

However, because the preparations in Baiyun City were well done, although contact with the outside was lost, everything remained orderly under the organized command of City Lord Li Xin and the various high-level officials.

Those who underwent Awakening were sent to specific schools for observation, and could return after their status stabilized and they were registered.

Although many basic living facilities were damaged, emergency repairs were carried out immediately, striving to get them working normally in the shortest possible time.

"We still don't know when our Baiyun City will be able to make contact with the outside world."

"We don't know how the situation is in other places."

The person sighed with emotion, and Lu Zheng also sighed slightly. However, the aura on City Lord Li Xin suddenly fluctuated violently, and Lu Zheng immediately knew that he had reached the most critical moment of his Breakthrough.

City Lord Li Xin's expression was somewhat twisted, and a trace of paleness appeared on his face.

But Lu Zheng did not intervene, because Lu Zheng had no experience in breaking through to the Fourth-Rank. Everything he possessed came from the Martial Dao and the System, so if he intervened, it might only make things more chaotic.

Everything had to be overcome by City Lord Li Xin himself.

However, a moment later, the aura on City Lord Li Xin changed abruptly. In Lu Zheng's eyes, his combat power jumped directly from 999 points to 1050 points.

Lu Zheng knew that City Lord Li Xin had successfully broken through.

At this moment, Baiyun City welcomed a Town General.

Lu Zheng did not leave and waited until City Lord Li Xin woke up.

Upon waking up, City Lord Li Xin felt his own strength, and a look of excitement appeared on his face. So this was a Fourth-Rank General; this was the Realm he had dreamed of.

He had finally successfully broken through to the Fourth-Rank.

Although the Peak of the Third Rank and the Fourth-Rank were only a step apart, his strength had undergone a huge change. City Lord Li Xin was confident that if he faced his former self, even three of them combined would not be a match for him now.

Lu Zheng was also very clear about this. Although the difference between 999 points of combat power and 1000 points was only one point, one was Third-Rank and the other was Fourth-Rank; the gap between them was indeed huge.

For example, three experts with 1000 combat power combined would definitely not be a match for an expert with 1500 combat power, or even far less.

Only after City Lord Li Xin broke through to the Fourth-Rank did he understand how terrifying Ruan Zhengye was, and he became even more clearly aware of how terrifying General Lu Zheng's strength was.

Before the Second Spiritual Energy Revival began, General Lu Zheng was already a Town General; now, it was unknown to what level General Lu Zheng's strength had reached.

"Thank you, General Lu Zheng."

"Great kindness cannot be repaid with words. If you have any orders, General Lu Zheng, please feel free to give them. As long as I, City Lord Li Xin, can do it, I will not hesitate even at the cost of my life."

City Lord Li Xin said respectfully to General Lu Zheng. At this moment, he was not the City Lord of Baiyun City, but an ordinary person who had received the grace of having his life saved and also the grace of having his path protected.

Lu Zheng just waved his hand slightly, telling him not to worry about it.

City Lord Li Xin wanted to say something more, but when he saw General Lu Zheng's eyes, he suppressed his words in his heart.

"General Lu Zheng, just watch what I do from now on."

"I, City Lord Li Xin, am not just saying this for fun."

Lu Zheng still had questions to ask City Lord Li Xin, so he spoke up.

"Let's go. That member of the evil sect should be awake by now. Let's see what he has confessed."

"At a time like this, the appearance of an evil sect member is not good news."

Lu Zheng's worry was not without reason. Furthermore, he learned from City Lord Li Xin that this evil sect member's Breakthrough was influenced by an Evil God, and he even intended to sacrifice the entire Baiyun City.

Did that not mean that there were still traces of the Evil God within Baiyun City?

Lu Zheng would not allow such a situation to happen.

"Yes!"

City Lord Li Xin immediately led Lu Zheng to the dungeon.
