Almost all the residents of Xiafeng City felt the shaking of the earth. Visible to the naked eye, a crack appeared on the solitary peak behind Zhaifeng Academy, and the mountain suddenly split into two halves.
what happened?
People in the houses rushed into the street, and pedestrians on the street stopped. Everyone looked horrified, looking at this shocking sight that had never been seen before, and listening to the loud rumbling sound, which echoed throughout the mountains and extended further into the distance.
The spies of the city lord's palace and the soldiers of the garrison who were guarding the foot of the mountain were even more embarrassed at this time. The mountain shook and flew down countless gravel and soil, just like a heavy rain, injuring countless people at once. They can all be called cultivators, and some of them have the realm of penetration. But at the moment when the mountain cracked, everyone felt an extremely powerful force of soul, which suppressed them and made them unable to move at all.
This is not some strange phenomenon, this is a cultivator who split the mountain with extremely tyrannical power.
who is it?
Although they all respected the city lord Wei Zhong very much, at this time, no one connected this matter with Wei Zhong. Because they knew that although Wei Zhong was powerful, it was not within his ability to split the entire mountain.
Probably...it's Chief Qin Qi!
Jiawei Weichao, who was standing under a big tree in Zhanfeng Academy, thought so with a gloomy expression. This is more of an expectation than a judgment.
After all, Qin Qi is on their side, and such a tyrannical force belongs to the best of their side. If not, it is difficult for Wei Chao to imagine what they can use to resist such a force. This kind of power is enough to cause the entire Xiafeng City and even the Xiafeng District to suffer disaster.
"Wei Chao, what's going on? Where is my father?" At this moment, a trembling voice spoke from behind Wei Chao.
Wei Chao turned around and saw the little city lord whom he had protected behind him just now.
Wei Tianqi's face turned blue, and he stared straight at the crack that split the lonely peak into two, trembling, hoping to get an explanation soon. Get a promise of security.
"Little City Lord, let's leave here first!" Wei Chao said, he had to prepare for the worst. If this tyrannical force does not come from one's own side, then everyone present will. They are probably about to start fleeing. And all he can do at this time is to do his best to protect Wei Tianqi, who was entrusted to him by the city lord. This may be the Wei family's ultimate hope.
"Tell me first, what is going on!" Wei Tianqi refused to leave and shouted at Wei Chao.
"I don't know either..." Wei Chao said helplessly.
"My father is still up there." Wei Tianqi pointed to the two halves of the mountain and said, "Where can we go?"
"I'm going to find him." He said. Wei Tianqi was about to walk towards the mountain peak. He has seen clearly that his father has never wanted to give up on him, and he was also deliberately trying to save him in the same situation as before. This is the biggest backer he can rely on. After that, who else can he follow? Who else can have more reliable protection than his father?
"Little City Lord!" Wei Chao hurriedly rushed to stop him, "It might be dangerous over there."
"Danger? What danger is it?" Wei Tianqi glared at Wei Chao.
"We still don't know whether the person who split the mountain in half is an enemy or a friend." Wei Chao said bitterly. In fact, he knew in his heart that this person. It is more likely to be an opponent. Wei Zhong does not have this strength, and that Qin Qi is said to be in the realm of four souls. Wei Chao has never experienced what realm the Four Souls Penetration is, but at least their city lord is. Even if Qin Qi's cultivation of the Four Souls Penetration is more advanced than Wei Zhong's, and their Qin family's supernatural ability Flowing Light is more domineering, there won't be such a big gap. This mountain was split open by Qin Qi. This was just Wei Chao's expectation, a very, very small expectation.
"This mountain...was split in half by a man?" Wei Tianqi froze immediately, and immediately shouted in even greater confusion: "What about my father?"
Wei Chao was speechless. He can't say that if he encounters such an opponent, the city lord will most likely be doomed. Wei Tianqi was currently in a state where both souls were connected, and he didn't even notice the unparalleled power of soul when the mountain was split open. It can be seen how confused his mind has become. At this time, he was no different from an ordinary person, completely losing the instinct to control the power of soul that a cultivator should have. He has received too many consecutive shocks recently.
Seeing Wei Chao's silence, Wei Tianqi suddenly realized something.
"Father!"
He shouted loudly and suddenly rushed towards the foot of the mountain desperately. It wasn't that he suddenly gained courage, but what he realized from Wei Chao's silence gave him a great sense of crisis and panic. The instinct of survival drove him to find Wei Zhong quickly and confirm the situation quickly. Only the sense of security that Wei Zhong brought him could help him get out of this endless panic.
"Little City Lord!" Wei Chao hurriedly chased after him.
"Take me up the mountain." Wei Tianqi ordered Wei Chao.
Wei Chao didn't move.
"Do you want to die?" Wei Tianqi looked around, picked up a steel knife left by a guard from the ground, and slashed at Wei Chao.
what to do?
Wei Chao was also in a mess. Did he use force to knock down Wei Tianqi? Will this cause any further irritation to the little city lord? Just when he was unsure, he heard a sound. Wei Tianqi's steel knife that was attacking him had been blocked by someone first, and a person appeared between the two of them.
"I'll take you up." The man said to Wei Tianqi.
"Wei Zhan!" Wei Chao shouted.
Of the twelve guards in the city lord's mansion, only a few of them are left. They may be the last hope to protect the Wei family's bloodline, but at this time, Wei Zhan actually wants to lead Wei Tianqi into this dangerous situation. This makes Wei Chao feel very puzzled. He does not believe that Wei Zhan cannot notice that he has become conscious. arrived situation.
"It's all over..." Wei Zhan turned around and said to Wei Chao, then without further explanation, he reached out and took Wei Tianqi with him, and jumped up to the mountain peak.
Is it all over?
From Wei Zhan's tone, Wei Chao heard a bit of sadness, and the last glimmer of hope that was still struggling in his heart finally sank deeper, but he refused to give up completely after all, and immediately took steps to follow Wei Chao.
The wind got stronger and stronger, but the footsteps of the two people, one behind the other, did not stop at all. Finally, the three of them reached the top of the mountain together.
The mountain wind howls.
Amid the strong winds from all directions, Qin Qi stood alone on the other half of the mountain, looking down at the crack as if in a daze.
Wei Chao ignored him too much and jumped up to the top of the mountain for the first time. He saw a person lying on the side of the mountain, and recognized it at a glance as their city lord, Wei Zhong.
Wei Chao hurriedly stepped forward, but he was only a few meters away when he stopped.
He could already feel it. The man lying there had completely ceased to live. Their city lord died like this on the top of the lonely peak of Xiafeng Mountain.
Wei Chao glanced at Wei Zhan, who did not speak or show any expression. But Wei Tianqi beside him had already rushed forward, calling for his father. After lifting Wei Zhong's body up, he realized that Wei Zhong had already died. His mouth opened wide immediately, and no sound came out for a long time.
"Little City Lord!" Wei Chao was afraid that something might happen to Wei Tianqi after being so stimulated. He hurriedly stepped forward. After taking a few steps closer, he saw clearly the wound on Wei Zhong's neck. It was obvious that his throat had been severed by a sharp blade. .
Lu Ping? Su Tang? Xifan? Guo Youdao?
None of the skills displayed by these people have such methods. This method seems to be closer to a certain person.
Wei Chao said nothing. He glanced at Wei Zhan. Wei Zhan was more professional than him when it came to killing people, and his judgments were more trustworthy.
Wei Zhan didn't say anything, but his eyes twitched slightly.
The relationship between the twelve family guards is not very close, but in many cases, they have the same mind. Wei Chao immediately understood Wei Zhan's hint. He didn't look back, let alone say anything.
Because he didn't dare. Qin Qi's strength is far stronger than the three of them combined, and stronger than their entire city lord's mansion. Forbearance is the only thing they can do at the moment.
Who would have thought that they deliberately did not expose Qin Qi, but Qin Qi took the initiative to speak at this time.
"It was an accident." Qin Qi said. He didn't say it clearly, but Wei Zhan and Wei Chao immediately knew what he was talking about.
The two turned back. Looking at Qin Qi, there was no doubt. With Qin Qi's strength and the Qin family's background, there was no need to give them such a cover-up explanation. Since he said it, it will only be the truth.
"What's going on?" Wei Chao asked. Those of them who are still alive will finally have an explanation for the dead city lord.
"Guo Youdao. You can try to find his body at the foot of the mountain." Qin Qi pointed in the direction. Guo Youdao was almost torn to pieces by his attack, and even fell from such a high point. It was impossible to survive in this situation.
"There are also Lu Ping and Su Tang." When Qin Qi mentioned Su Tang, she pointed in another direction.
"Are there two others who haven't made it to the top of the mountain?" Qin Qi then asked.
"He jumped to the southeast, and our people are chasing him." Wei Chao said, and it was he who commanded and deployed the men at the bottom of the mountain. They didn't know yet that when Lu Ping and his party came out of the crack in the mountain, there was one more person.
"Southeast direction." Qin Qi looked towards that end, and then seemed to be about to leave there.
"Wait a minute, there should be another one, right?" Wei Chao shouted quickly.
Qin Qi stopped at the edge of the mountain and did not look back. Of course, he didn't forget that there was another one, and this one gave him the biggest shock.
"There is another one who was taken away. Take him home."
he said.
"The person who took him away is named Yan Qiuci."
After saying that, Qin Qi jumped down from the side of the mountain and slid along the almost straight cliff towards the bottom of the mountain.
The wind on the top of the mountain is still very strong.
Wei Chao, Wei Zhan, and Wei Tianqi all maintained their previous postures and did not move.
Who is the person who split the mountain in two? Do you still need to ask at this time?
Yan Qiuci, this name was enough to suppress all the emotions they couldn't wait to release, making them try to calm down and rationalize.
The remaining one should be called Xi Fan? That should be right, right? In their intelligence, the existence of this young man was never emphasized.
But in the end, it was Yan Qiuci who came to visit in person and then took him home?
That Xifan is Yan Qiuci's family?
Yan Qiuci's family has been desperately hunted by them?
After a long time, Wei Chao and Wei Zhan still maintained their original postures, never recovering from this incident.
At this moment, Wei Tianqi gently put down Wei Zhong's body. He walked to the edge of the mountain and was watered by the strong wind.
"Little City Lord!" Wei Chao was shocked when he came to his senses when he saw Wei Tianqi's actions. Didn't Wei Tianqi's behavior scare him to the point of committing suicide because of Yan Qiuci? Yan Qiuci is very scary, but since he has left, I'm afraid he won't pursue anything anymore, otherwise with his strength, it would be easy to destroy them!
Wei Chao quickly wanted to explain this to Wei Tianqi, but Wei Tianqi spoke first.
"Yan Qiuci's family? It's really amazing." He said in a calm tone.
"So we're really lucky to be alive now, aren't we?" He turned around, looked at Wei Chao and Wei Zhan, and actually laughed.
"Little City Lord..." Wei Chao was a little frightened by Wei Tianqi's appearance.
"What should we do next?" Wei Tianqi asked Wei Chao.
"We should search for the bodies of these people as soon as possible, understand this matter, and then let the young city lord take over the position of city lord." Wei Chao said.
"But how many people will be convinced by my current abilities?" Wei Tianqi asked.
Wei Chao was speechless. Of course he wanted to say something nice, but the current situation was really cruel. The city lord died, most of the twelve family guards were lost, and the power of the Wei family reached an unprecedented low. However, Wei Tianqi, the successor, has not grown up enough, has no strength, and is not popular. The Wei family's rule over Xiafeng District has really reached a very dangerous situation.
"Anyway, let's find the bodies of those guys first!" Wei Tianqi said.
