The matter of using the City Lord Mansion's carriage to send Shi Chun out of the city? Yin Xu turned his head and his gaze landed on Chief Steward Hu Gongxian, whose shifty eyes and lowered head undoubtedly confird Yin Xu's suspicion—it was he who leaked the information.
Yin Xu angrily questioned, "We are from the sa clan, I have not been unkind to you, so why betray ?"
Hu Gongxian raised his eyes, sowhat helpless, and said, "Sister Hong, I'm truly doing this for your good, and for everyone's good..."
The West Emperor interjected, "If I couldn't grasp the situation here, how could I arbitrarily offer you conveniences? So he's not wrong. If he hadn't lowered his head, how could you have secured your footing here? You don't seriously think I'm lacking won to serve , do you?"
Yin Xu seed unable to accept it and asked tremulously, "You said you would marry , is it true?"
The West Emperor, unruffled, retorted, "I asked you to suspend that business, and you agreed. Why do it behind my back?"
"I..." Yin Xu was truly at a loss for words but beca hysterical and still pursued that question, "You said you would marry , is it true?"
Seeing she was refusing to honor the toast and instead was opting for punishnt, the West Emperor nodded his chin towards Ying Gang, "Handle her as you see fit."
Monts ago, they were intimate, but now discarded like a worn shoe; Yin Xu's expression turned mad, rushing at the West Emperor as if desperate to take his life.
Yet she didn't even touch the West Emperor; Ying Gang stopped her with an invisible palm, throwing her to the ground with a flick of his sleeve.
Yin Xu spat blood on the spot, swiftly subdued by Xi Quan, who grabbed her hair and dragged her up like a dead dog.
Hu Gongxian, who watched in shock, quickly stepped up to the West Emperor, "Domain Master, you said it was for Sister Hong's good, how can you hand her over to others?"
"Noisy!"
Bang! The West Emperor suddenly struck, a palm hit Hu Gongxian's chest, sending him flying out from amidst the flowers and grasses, his blood spraying all around.
The sudden occurrence caught the unprepared Hu Gongxian off guard, and he landed on the ground, unconscious.
Yin Xu, unable to turn her head due to being gripped by the hair, could only howl at the West Emperor, "West Emperor, you deceived , you deceived !"
Ying Gang approached her, pinching her chin, and asked, "Where is Shi Chun?"
Yin Xu imdiately glared angrily at him, "If you have the ability, kill ; my ancestor will certainly avenge !"
A strange expression appeared on Ying Gang's face as he asked her, "You don't think you're really Qingqiu Ancestor's maid, do you? You wouldn't lie to even yourself, would you?"
Yin Xu suddenly realized sothing, glanced towards the direction where Hu Gongxian had fallen, struggled a bit, but couldn't break free.
Ying Gang said, "I don't have ti to drag this out with you. I need to know how to find Shi Chun. Be honest, and you'll suffer less!"
Yin Xu roared, "I know nothing, just kill !"
Ying Gang said indifferently, "You think you're tough? Then don't regret it later." As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand.
The West Emperor approached, inserted his hand, and directly snatched the Qiankun Bag from Yin Xu's waist, casting spells to extract a bunch of Mother-child Talismans, each floating before him.
Scanning them, he locked onto the one he had rembered the number of and picked it up while the remaining talismans fell to the ground with a clatter.
He showed the number to Yin Xu and coldly said, "If I didn't mistake, this is the one connected to Shi Chun, right?"
Seeing this, Yin Xu instantly showed grief and indignation, understanding the purpose behind previously contacting Shi Chun. She shouted sharply, "West Emperor, you will face retribution, you surely will!"
This remark seed to anger the West Emperor. He grabbed one of her ears, roaring fiercely, "I told you not to get involved, why didn't you obey? How dare you betray behind my back!"
He then tore off one of Yin Xu's ears, blood spraying everywhere.
"Ah..." Yin Xu scread in agony, trembling all over, unable to escape the grip on her hair, with blood flowing endlessly from the tear.
The ear quickly turned into a furry fox ear in the West Emperor's hand.
Carelessly tossing it aside, the West Emperor picked up the Mother-child Talisman and sent a coded ssage to Shi Chun: Are you alright?
Ying Gang leaned in to look.
Shi Chun soon replied: I'm okay, et with Tian Shen first.
"Tian Shen..." the West Emperor muttered, "What other secrets might this Tian Shen hold?"
Upon hearing it, Yin Xu understood Shi Chun had been deceived. Unable to break free, she could only howl, "West Emperor, you shall not die a good death!"
The West Emperor smoothly kicked again.
Crunch, Yin Xu's leg bone broke, followed by another ghastly scream as she couldn't stand anymore, yet she couldn't collapse due to being held by the hair.
The West Emperor continued sending ssages asking: Where to et?
Shi Chun replied: Contact again once you and Tian Shen are out.
Ying Gang beside comnted, "Can't get out now, the defense array is active."
The West Emperor calmly said, "I can get in and out, it shouldn't be a big problem. Fetch the Second Steward of Zhu Lang Pavilion, Tian Shen, first."
Ying Gang tilted his head to signal Xi Quan.
Xi Quan imdiately dropped the pain-trembled Yin Xu and left.
"West Emperor, you've gotten involved with those you shouldn't have, hahaha..." Yin Xu suddenly sneered through the pain, her eyes filled with a resentful mockery as she looked at the West Emperor.
She still believed that Shi Chun was backed by Qingqiu Ancestor, and she eagerly wanted to see the West Emperor shiver in fear.
However, the West Emperor was ruthless and could cause her misfortune right now. Seeing her still spewing insults, he lightly lifted his foot and stepped on her arm, his expression cold and indifferent as he looked down at her like an ant, without any trace of the affection they once had.
Yin Xu hurriedly tried to withdraw her hand, but her cultivation was suppressed, making it impossible to move. Even if her cultivation wasn't suppressed, she lacked the strength to contend with the West Emperor. Realizing what was about to happen, she was so nervous and afraid that her breath hitched.
As feared, the man showed no regard for their past emotions.
With a crack, the West Emperor rcilessly broke her arm with a single stomp.
"Ah..." Covered in blood, Yin Xu scread in agony, looking up to the sky.
The West Emperor used the Mother-child Talisman in his hand again to send a ssage: The City Defense Array is closed, I'll think of a solution.
Across the grassland under the night sky, Shi Chun, having wandered around, darted out from the Heart-wrapping Grass forest and landed on a slope.
In his cloak, Yu Xuanbing had arrived a mont earlier, waiting with Wu Jinliang.
Shi Chun couldn't afford to worry about anything else and asked as soon as they t, "Did you succeed?"
There was nothing he could do; Yu Xuanbing was stubbornly refusing to use the Mother-child Talisman and was reluctant to even touch a piece of paper from others unless absolutely necessary, making prior contact impossible.
But since Yu Xuanbing returned so quickly, he had his doubts. Wasn't it said that it might not be achieved tonight?
Yu Xuanbing remained silent and directly pulled out an umbrella, tossing it over.
Shi Chun caught it, and Wu Jinliang imdiately moved closer, the two of them examining it curiously.
Embedded in the umbrella handle was a gold Command Arrow that seed authentic, and the umbrella fra was sothing Shi Chun had seen in the Divine Hall, suggesting it wasn't fake. The black and gold colors on the umbrella surface rged like a mysterious presence from the depths of the starry sky.
When they cast a spell to investigate, they could feel a vast aura within, one beyond their cultivation and knowledge to unravel.
"This must be a significant treasure, really got it..." Wu Jinliang couldn't help but touch it, exclaiming.
Shi Chun was also full of emotion, not only because they obtained a valuable treasure but also due to disbelief at Yu Xuanbing's rapid success. He had no idea how this guy managed it so quickly. Had it been him, even with the enhancent of his right eye superpower, he'd probably still be lurking on the Divine Mountain looking for an opportunity.
This was practically a "co and go" scenario, treating all the experts on the Divine Mountain as if they were nothing. Now it was sowhat understandable why people feared him during the Earth Immortal Realm.
He was already contemplating how Wu Jinliang's All Forms Technique could research this assassin's cultivation technique.
Wu Jinliang, playing with the umbrella, suddenly spoke, "Chun Tian, find a place to test it out."
Shi Chun: "It's not suitable here, let's wait until we reach the Netherworld to test it."
Wu Jinliang: "Then let's go."
Shi Chun: "No rush, let's wait for Yin Xu's side. She ntioned taking Tian Shen out of the city. The Extre Fire Sect already has an eye on her. I'm a bit skeptical about her ability to escape easily. We'll have to rely on the senior to help check the safety when we et later." He said this while cupping his hands towards Yu Xuanbing.
Yu Xuanbing remained noncommittal...
Inside the Divine Mountain Prison, the Phoenix Clan leader, Feng Xi, was personally interrogating Granny Qi. Beside him, Feng Qingping suddenly pulled out a Mother-child Talisman and glanced at it, then imdiately transmitted a ssage to Feng Xi: "Leader, the Qingqiu Fox Clan's Mr. Da is outside Yao Mountain City North Gate, blocked by the protection array. She wants to enter the city, asking for clearance."
Feng Xi chuckled and replied via transmission, "Today's truly strange, so many things popping up out of nowhere."
Not opposing ant it was allowed, and Feng Qingping imdiately pulled out another Mother-child Talisman to communicate with the City Lord of Yao Mountain City, granting clearance.
At the Yao Mountain City North Gate entrance, Yin Ning stood outside with four attendants. Upon hearing that the gate was closed, she didn't bother explaining her identity to the guards, deeming them unworthy, and directly contacted Feng Qingping to handle it.
Soon the door opened, and the City Lord ca out to greet her personally.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries with the City Lord upon entering the city, Yin Ning, with her people, headed straight for Zhu Lang Pavilion, not walking, but flying straight through the air.
Blatantly breaking the rules without even a greeting, the City Lord watched in speechless silence.
Yin Ning's group didn't enter through the main entrance of Zhu Lang Pavilion but landed directly on the rooftop terrace.
Even before they landed, she could sll a faint scent of blood and saw the body of Hu Gongxian. Hu Gongxian had reverted to his fox form, and there was no other person on the rooftop.
The group landed directly next to Hu Gongxian, with Yin Ning squatting down to examine him, discovering he was dead with damaged internal organs. But the body was still warm.
With a wave of her hand, Yin Ning signaled, the four attendants imdiately began searching, while she herself opened Hu Gongxian's mouth, releasing a small red pill with a glowing crimson light into his mouth.
After a while, Hu Gongxian's body trembled, and he unexpectedly regained consciousness, slowly opening his eyes. Realizing who was before him, he seed sowhat agitated.
Yin Ning asked, "What happened?"
Hu Gongxian spat out halting words in human language, "Sister Hong, the West Emperor, Yin Xu was captured, Mr. Da save her..."
Yin Ning asked, "The West Emperor captured Yin Xu?"
Hu Gongxian: "Yes."
Yin Ning asked, "When did it happen?"
Hu Gongxian: "Just...just now."
Uncertain how long he had been unconscious, unsure of what he ant by "just now," Yin Ning imdiately pulled out a Mother-child Talisman, directly contacting Feng Qingping, asking her to inquire with the gate guards if the West Emperor had left the city. If not, she instructed the guards to imdiately seal the gates, allowing no one to leave. Should they spot the West Emperor, they must detain him imdiately!
anwhile, the West Emperor and others were on a carriage. On Yin Xu's carriage, her condition was not looking good, requiring a carriage for concealnt when exiting the city.
