Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: The Outburst After a Life of Intoxication and Dreamy Oblivion

When Jiu Ge arrived, the entrance to the Chief Mansion of the Changkong family was already piled high with thousands of corpses. The ground had been stained a deep crimson, and the arrows from the Defensive Array continued to rain down upon the surrounding crowd.

"Mother, stop! They’re all just ordinary people, completely powerless to resist!" Jiu Ge pleaded urgently with i Ji.

i Ji spoke viciously, "They are my subjects, sheltered under my protection, and they should have been loyal to . But they betrayed . Today, every person who opposes

must be utterly eliminated."

A deep sorrow surged through Jiu Ge’s heart as he hoarsely replied, "Mother, if you kill everyone, will there still be a Midair City in this world?"

i Ji retorted without hesitation, "Even if the Midair City disappears forever, I will never allow a single shred of disrespect toward ."

Jiu Ge stared blankly at his mother. As a child, he had thought she was the most beautiful, gentle, and loving person in the world—a goddess.

She had given him the most exalted status, a lavish life, splendid clothes, and exquisite cuisine.

But the next day, she killed the girl right in front of him and sternly warned him, "Jiu Er, rember this: loving soone is painful. You may have any woman under the heavens, but you must never fall in love with anyone."

It was in that mont that Jiu Ge felt fear toward his mother. That girl, whose na he didn’t even know—he certainly didn’t love her, but he mourned for her deeply for a long ti.

Since then, as long as he was in the Midair City, a different girl would die the next day, her corpse cast into the Soul-breaking Cliff.

The lessons his mother taught him were vastly different from what the teachers at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle had imparted. Jiu Ge felt a sense of disorientation, uncertain about what was right and what was wrong.

Gradually, Jiu Ge began to dread returning to the Midair City. Though life at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, where he studied and practiced, was hard, his soul found peace there.

On rest days, when he left the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle to wander around, there were always won drawn to his looks who willingly threw themselves into his arms. He never turned them away.

Why refuse? It was their own choice, and besides, Scholar City was not Midair City. These won wouldn’t die because of him. He could be carefree and relaxed with them.

But no one can halt the march of ti. Graduation eventually arrived as scheduled. Whether Jiu Ge was willing or not, he had no choice but to return to the Midair City and take on his responsibilities.

Previously, he only returned to the Midair City during holidays and liked to stay sequestered in his residence, so he hadn’t noticed anything amiss. This ti, upon formally returning after graduation, i Ji began delegating family affairs to him to manage.

It wasn’t long before Jiu Ge discovered the thod his mother used to maintain her youth and beauty.

At first, he was shocked and found it difficult to accept such bloody violence. He had tried to dissuade his mother, but she was deeply fixated on the practice and questioned him: "Do you want

to beco an old and ugly hag?"

Jiu Ge had no answer. Every attempt he made to resist her actions was crushed under the weight of familial obligations.

Unable to stop his mother’s behavior, Jiu Ge could only feign ignorance and live in a state of drunken escapism.

i Ji noticed her son’s disappointnt in her. After so consideration, she offered a small concession: she allowed Jiu Ge to choose one girl from among the sacrificial offerings each night. From then on, Jiu Ge could decide the fate of those girls.

Although he could only save one person per day, for Jiu Ge, it felt like he was alleviating a small portion of his mother’s sins.

He agreed to his mother’s proposal and began selecting one girl from the sacrificial offerings to bring back to his residence each night.

Initially, i Ji sent people to surveil Jiu Ge. By morning, before the girl awoke, Jiu Ge would leave a red flower imprint on her forehead. The guards of the mansion were then forbidden from harming her.

The girl’s mories of everything within the Chief Mansion would be wiped clean before she was sent out. When she regained consciousness, soone posing as a passerby would inquire about her hotown and safely escort her back there.

Later, seeing that Jiu Ge was compliant, i Ji relaxed her surveillance of him.

If it had been before, Jiu Ge wouldn’t have cared much about these matters. But ever since eting Qin Sisi, he had seen his own disgrace reflected in the autumn-water-like clearness of Qin Sisi’s eyes. He began to wish to be soone who could exercise restraint.

He had compared himself to Ye You ti and ti again—in terms of appearance, status, magical talent, and magic power, he was confident he was equal to Ye You.

But there was one thing he could never match: though Ye You also had multitudes of admirers among won, he remained aloof, pure, and virtuous. As for Jiu Ge, he was already a thoroughly infamous libertine.

Jiu Ge’s face darkened as he gazed outside the Chief Mansion. Waves of arrows from the Defensive Array continued to shoot out, and more and more people fell. The spacious road before the gate had turned into a flowing river of blood.

He had never aspired to be a good man, but neither did he want to beco the heinous, infamous sinner who destroyed the Midair City. He certainly didn’t want his mother to bear that condemnation either.

If Qin Sisi saw this scene, would she ever talk to him again?

"Stop!" Jiu Ge roared, leaping into the air and landing in front of the guards operating the Defensive Array. "Stop it, all of you!"

The guards looked fearfully toward i Ji, who glared fiercely at Jiu Ge and ordered harshly, "Don’t stop—continue killing!"

i Ji was, after all, the Clan Leader, and the guards were well aware of her ruthless nature. They dared not defy her orders and summoned their courage to fire another round of arrows.

A fresh chorus of screams echoed, and yet another layer of corpses joined the mountain of bodies, smothering it further.

"Aaah—!" Jiu Ge howled toward the heavens, his body surging forward as his hand flipped rapidly. Pale blue Wind Attribute Magic Power gathered in his palm.

In the next instant, his palm thrust forward violently, unleashing the Wind Sky Slash attack upon the guards operating the Defensive Array.

After a few brief screams, those guards had already fallen to the ground, their bodies severed in two. Entrails spilled across the marble floor, and murky, tainted blood finally stained the stark white tiles of the mansion.
