Just one year after the new city lord was replaced, something big happened again in Xiafeng City. The twelve guards of the City Lord's Mansion had gone to various places. This was because Lu Ping and Chu Min were not too concerned when they took action. It only takes one strike to knock the person down, they don't care whether they die or not. Wei Chao, who was dying, was still alive in the end. Wei Yang, who was the first to be knocked down, woke up in disgrace and looked at the mess of the execution ground. He was completely confused.
Soon he saw Wei Chao leaning under the flagpole and moved over with some difficulty.
"How many people are here?" he asked after taking a deep breath.
"How many people?" Wei Chao, whose face was ashen, actually laughed after hearing the news. He laughed and started coughing again, and then vomited blood.
Wei Yang looked at him in surprise, then carefully scanned the scene again, and then noticed that all the dead and wounded on the scene were all men from their city lord's palace, and there was not even a single enemy corpse.
Could it be...
That figure flashed through his mind, but he refused to believe it. He turned to look at Wei Chao, only to see Wei Chao raising three fingers towards him with difficulty.
"No, no." Wei Chao's eyes were a little cloudy. He looked at his raised fingers. After shaking his head, he raised his other hand and pulled back one of the three raised fingers.
"Two, yes two." Wei Chao grinned, "And they are the two we both know."
Is it really just them?
Are they so strong?
"Where's Teacher Ge Bing? Didn't he take action?" Wei Yang asked.
"Him?" Wei Chao seemed to have heard another joke and started laughing again, then raised his finger and pointed.
Ge Bing's body was stuck in the wooden planks of the execution platform. Not only was he completely dead, but he was also dead in a comical way.
"Do you know? Just like you, he can't even take the opponent's move." Wei Chao said.
Wei Yang is the most arrogant. If someone says that he "can't take a single move" or something, they will definitely fall out. But right now, he had no temper at all, and his face was full of horror.
Wei Chao on the side had already started coughing and vomiting blood again.
"Stop talking, I'll take you back home first." Wei Yang said to him.
"Go back to the mansion? Which mansion? The city lord's mansion?" Wei Chao said.
"How else could it be." Wei Yang frowned. He was a little annoyed by Wei Chao's confused appearance. He was not a particularly patient person. The opponent's strength is indeed surprising and shocking, but is he so scared that he looks like this?
"Hehehe... The City Lord's Mansion? Is there any more? Do you know that the City Lord is dead again..." Wei Chao said.
"What?" Wei Yang was shocked. When he took a closer look at the scene for the second time, he noticed that the city lord Wei Tianqi was not here.
"Strange, why did I say 'again'? It's really strange." Wei Chao said, shaking his head repeatedly.
"You'd better rest for a while." Wei Yang raised his hand and knocked Wei Chao unconscious regardless of his injuries.
The city lord died again?
This news is not good, very bad. The previous city lord died, at least there was someone to succeed him. But with Wei Tianqi's death, the Wei clan in Xiafeng City was completely wiped out. Those of them who rely on the resources of the City Lord's Mansion are really going to die now?
Anyway, let’s go back and take a look!
Wei Yang thought about it, set up Wei Chao, and looked at the messy execution ground, but he had no intention of settling anything and rushed towards the city lord's palace. Along the way, there were all the garrison squads running around like headless flies, but Wei Yang had no intention of making any arrangements with them. When someone came up to greet him, he ignored them and returned to the city lord's palace.
"Master Wei Chang, you are back!" There were obviously many more guards at the door of the City Lord's Mansion. After this greeting, a person rushed out from the door, but it was Wei Huai, the home guard in charge of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. When they came out, they saw Wei Chao being held up by Wei Yang.
"How's the guard?" He hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"He's not dead yet. Please arrange for someone to treat him quickly." Wei Yang said.
"The doctors are all with the city lord now, why don't we just send the guard over?" Wei Huai said.
"Where's the City Lord?" Wei Yang was stunned after hearing this.
"The city lord's injuries are not light." Wei Huai said with a worried look on his face.
Who would have thought that Wei Yang would look happy after hearing this. Wei Chao clearly said that the city lord was dead, but now he heard that he was seriously injured. Isn't that good news in comparison?
"I'll go take a look. Wei Chao, just watch and settle down!" Wei Yang said, leaving Wei Chao to Wei Huai and rushed into the house. After arriving at Wei Tianqi's residence, he saw several doctors filing out of the house.
"Where is the city lord?" Wei Yang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"It's not serious at the moment." One of the doctors said, his expression didn't look very nervous, which made Wei Yang secretly relieved, but he was slandering Wei Chao in his heart. When he first heard about Wei Tianqi's death from Wei Chao, his subconscious thought was to leave and find a way out elsewhere. At this time, he was just glad that he was not so decisive. It is not easy to become a confidant of the city lord's palace in a jurisdiction. It is not difficult to find another way out with his current strength of three souls, but it is not easy to find such a position again.
Wei Yang then wanted to go in to visit Wei Tianqi, but was unexpectedly stopped by the guards outside Wei.
"What?" Wei Tianqi was annoyed. The Twelve Guards are the most trusted by the city lord, especially the old men like Wei Chao and Wei Tianqi who have a deep relationship with each other. No one has ever dared to block him from the city lord.
"The city lord has important matters to discuss and has ordered that no one be allowed in," the guard said.
"Anyone? Am I anyone?" Wei Tianqi said with a straight face. No matter how important the matter of the City Lord's Mansion was, he and Wei Chao would not hide it.
"The city lord gave special instructions, including several adults." the guard said.
Wei Tianqi was stunned. He never expected that Wei Tianqi would have confidential matters that even the rest of them didn't want to reveal.
"Who is the city lord discussing with? Is it someone from the college?" Wei Tianqi asked.
"Then we don't know," the guard said.
Wei Yang immediately stopped entangled, but did not leave just yet. Who is in the room? He was curious after all. If he is a person from Nantian College, he has a distinguished status and his clothes are obvious, the guards will not be able to tell them apart. If it's not clear, then it's probably not the case. But apart from people from the academy, Wei Yang really couldn't think of any other important people around Wei Tianqi who needed to keep them out.
He simply wandered around the courtyard.
The guards don't know, and the city lord may not say it, so he just pretends to bump into him here, so that's always okay, right?
Seeing that the guard had no intention of saying anything about his actions, Wei Yang simply waited. Little did he know that the conversation in the room had ended long ago. The visitor left quietly and did not show up at the main entrance. Wei Tianqi, who was seriously injured and lying on the bed, did not rest there. He stared at the bed curtains, thinking about the conversation that had just ended.
He has the status as the city lord of the area under his jurisdiction. Even if it is only the Xiafeng District, the most remote and backward mountainous area, he is still one of the few princes.
Connections and backers? He did not abandon the resources his father left behind. In contrast, he entered Nantian College and became a disciple of Shen Muyan, one of the top twenty-eight people in Nantian. The situation that opened up was even brighter than his father's years of management.
But today, all the things he worked hard to manage seemed so small. Status, connections, and backers play no role at all in the face of absolute power. People are not afraid of his status as city lord; people will not care about him when he moves out of Nantian College. Even his classmates, his teachers, have already taken action. But so what? In the end, wasn't it because I was quick to spot the opportunity and used False Sleep to escape?
That man was right.
Only when you have the power, you are the most reliable. In fact, why doesn't he understand this? But he himself also knew that his cultivation talent was actually quite ordinary. Even if he entered Nantian College, he was not sure how much improvement he could get, not to mention, how long would it take?
"And I can provide you with the power you want."
This sentence is what really touched Wei Tianqi. It sounds like this power does not require hard work. It can be obtained by force like the Moonlight Cleansing the Soul?
But, what do you need to pay? It is impossible for the other party to give him such help for no reason.
"This, let's wait for you to think clearly about what you can sacrifice for this. I also need to confirm how determined and courageous you are. Think about it carefully, and I will come to you again."
After the other party finished speaking, he left, and Wei Tianqi immediately began to think about it seriously.
He really longs for power, a very, very powerful power. If it is power that can even be taken down by the man from Northwest Luo City, then his revenge will be considered complete.
But is it possible? Wei Tianqi shook his head and denied his exaggerated idea. I can't be so greedy, but at least I have to be comparable to Lu Ping. No, I should be stronger than Lu Ping, right? Of course he didn't know that this idea that he defined as "at least" was much more greedy than the idea that he thought was too exaggerated.
And Lu Ping, who possessed this greedy power, had already left Xiafeng City. Lu Ping, who was walking in front of the three of them, took long, fast steps, but a blood mark gradually began to appear where he stepped.
The battle did not cause him any injuries, but the moment when his soul power lost control, he received countless wounds all over his body. Until now, blood still seeped out from time to time, and eventually pooled at the soles of his feet. This shows that the amount of bleeding was quite alarming. .
"Stop for a moment, let me take a look at your injury." Chu Min, who was walking behind, never relaxed his brows, and finally spoke.
"They are all minor injuries." Lu Ping said after stopping.
"It's a small injury, but it's a lot." Chu Min walked up, pulled Lu Ping up, and rolled up his sleeves.
The arm seemed clean, but after a while, dense blood spots appeared. It felt like being pricked carefully with needles.
"What do you think this means?" Chu Min asked. She knew that Lu Ping was not stupid at all. He must have thought about this injury and situation.
"This is not just a matter of losing control of the power of soul." Lu Ping said.
Chu Min nodded.
"This shows that my body is actually not strong enough to withstand the power of soul in my body." Lu Ping said.
"That's right." Chu Min nodded again, "If you didn't have the confinement of ecstasy, what do you think you would be like now?"
"Probably...it's gone." Lu Ping said after watching the fine blood spots on his arm gradually grow into droplets of blood.
"As long as you understand." Chu Min said, letting go of his hand, walking aside to greet Ling Ziyan, with a nauseated expression on his face, "Ziyan, give him some medicine, he's so sick."
"Thank you." Lu Ping took the medicine bottle handed over by Ling Ziyan.
"Take good medicine and let's continue on the road." Chu Min looked at the mountain road ahead.
A year ago, they walked this road with courage.
Now, following this path again, everyone has grown. I am, and these teenagers are even more so. I just don’t know what the situation of the others is now.
