Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All-Chapter 458 - Sound the Golden Bell and Retreat

458 Sound the Golden Bell and Retreat
Now that Dong Xi had led her men to attack from the flank, the bandits did not know what was going on and did not dare to rush to attack them. The bandits immediately sounded the bell and withdrew their troops.

Dong Xi entered the city gate and was immediately received by the excited General Song.

General Song said, “Vice General, you are indeed useful and resourceful. Today’s battle has boosted our morale. In a few more rounds, the bandits will definitely flee.”

“This is all thanks to General Song’s good command,” said Dong Xi with a smile.

General Song patted Dong Xi’s shoulder and looked at her with admiration. After thinking for a moment, General Song took out a token and gave it to Dong Xi.

“This is my token,” General Song said. “Take it well. You can come to the General’s Estate to discuss matters with me at any time.”

Dong Xi’s eyes lit up. He bowed respectfully and received the token.

As everyone knew, the items in the Secret Realm were all very important, let alone a key treasure like the token.

Who knows, it might come in handy one day.

Dong Xi had brought reinforcements, so the war ended very quickly.

Dong Xi left the General’s Estate, thinking about the token along the way.

Caught off guard, she bumped into someone. Dong Xi looked over and realized that it was actually a child.

Compared to Dong Xi, this child was the real child. He seemed to be only six or seven years old.
The child immediately knelt on the ground and said, “Sir, spare my life. I didn’t mean to offend you.”

“It’s alright,” said Dong Xi calmly.

The child took a look at Dong Xi’s expression, then secretly stood up and wanted to run away.

Dong Xi did not stop him. Instead, she followed after the child left.

How could a child shake off Dong Xi?

Moreover, when she was not in battle, Dong Xi could still use her spiritual energy.

Following the child, they turned left and right for a long time before finally arriving in front of a dilapidated house.

Although it was called a house, it was actually a shack.

The child said in the house, “Grandma, look, I have money to take you to see a doctor.”

As he spoke, the child took out the token and showed it to his grandmother. The old woman took a look and immediately scolded the child to return the token.

The child disagreed. The child said, “Grandma, I just want to treat you. If I can’t save you, I’m just a useless thing.”

The old lady said, “You brat, cough cough… Grandma knows that you’re a good child…”

As the old lady spoke, Dong Xi walked in from outside. Dong Xi said, “Old Lady, the child is right. Even if he can’t save anyone, he’s still a useless thing no matter how good he is.”

The old woman tried his best to sit up and looked at Dong Xi in confusion. The old woman said, “And you are?”

Dong Xi knew that these people were all alive, so she could not treat them as illusions.

Dong Xi looked at the old woman’s confused eyes and said with a smile, “I am the owner of this token.”

Dong Xi cut off a piece from the token and placed it in the old woman’s hand. After that, Dong Xi left the place.

The child ran out of the house and shouted, “Why are you helping me?”

Dong Xi stopped but did not turn back. Looking at the setting sun that was mostly blocked by the city wall, Dong Xi said, “We protect the country so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If the people don’t have a living, then the country won’t be a country, and the home won’t be a home.”

When Dong Xi spoke, she did not hide anything. Not only the child, but everyone else heard it.

Just as Dong Xi was about to leave, someone rushed out and knelt down to kowtow. This person said, “Sir, please save us. There are eight people in my family, old and young. Now, two taels of silver can’t even buy a bucket of rice.”

After this person took the lead, everyone knelt in front of Dong Xi. Dong Xi originally wanted to take out the food from the storage ring and give it to everyone.

However, for some reason, the food did not seem to be something from this land. Everyone could not see the food at all.

Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at the token in her hand. Suddenly, she understood something.

If this place was a game, this token would be a prop. In order to clear the game, in the end, it was just to save these people.

Dong Xi thought for a moment, and her mind was firm. She raised her head and threw the token out, saying, “Take it and distribute it.”

Seeing everyone crying with joy, Dong Xi said, “Live well, the war will end.”

Dong Xi looked at everyone kowtowing to her and felt ashamed. She left immediately.

Dong Xi was not a god. It was impossible for her to save everyone in the world with just a lift of her hand.

Dong Xi did not even want to give up on splitting the tokens. However…. She wanted to leave.

When she reached the city wall, she found a secluded place and took out a jade slip to secretly contact the guards she hired at a high price.

[Where are all of you?]
