“That’s enough,” Yang Lujia suddenly said, and that froze everyone in the place. Cai Hong was not even spared. He then swept his gaze to the five people who were fighting against Cai Hong just now.
Later on, he dispersed the lingering energies in the space around them by condensing them into a ball and diffusing them into nothingness. There was terror in the eyes of the City Lord. Although he could not move, he could vividly see the rules of space at work. They were extrely dense that he dared not even think of resisting these rules restricting his body.
With his eyes fixed on one person, he imdiately confird that he really had barked at the wrong tree. He did not know if he was allowed to cry, because he felt like crying at the mont. Sure enough, a tear gave in from his left eye, which baffled Yang Lujia.
A strong-minded person like him could actually cry?
Sighing, Yang Lujia let all of them go, and the area beca eerily quiet. No one dared to move. They all managed to see what transpired. Their movents were restricted, but their eyes were wide open to see what shocking things Yang Lujia did.
However, when they were released from the restraints, there was one person who was much more terrified than the others. It was the City Lord’s daughter. Of course, the City Lord caught sight of this, so he imdiately covered his daughter in front of Yang Lujia and knelt without any hesitation.
“Milord, please spare my daughter!” he shouted, not giving any excuses for his earlier actions. It went to show that he was extrely guilty of what had just transpired.
Everyone was shocked by his actions. However, the one who received the most blow was the City Lord’s daughter. She fell butt-first as she looked incredulously at his kneeling father. She would never have thought that her ever-imposing father had knelt in front of her. Although she was facing his back, she could still sowhat imagine the grievous face he was wearing.
Sowhat, she felt rather disappointed. If those n she intended to beco her toys were really as formidable as they were at the mont, then there was no way she could use them.
“I’m afraid I can’t,” Yang Lujia said, expressing his stance on the matter—with a vicious glint emanating from his eyes. “Apart from her having basically forced almost every good-looking man in this city to heed her commands and beco her sex toy, she also tried to harass us with her words. That alone showed how lustful she was toward n like us.”
“Milord, it was not her intention to offend you! My daughter is just like that! She really likes n so much, because it’s the only way she can advance her cultivation!” Still, with his head bowed, the City Lord’s insistence did not grow small.
“That makes it more reasonable for to end her life. As you can see, I did not make a move earlier because I was observing you all the way throughout, even before your daughter tried to harass us. If it were not for the food I was eating here being delicious, I would have already decimated your daughter into pieces. rely, I was restraining myself to see if you had so backing. It seems like I was mistaken—fortunately.”
Yang Lujia smiled.
However, that smile only spelled extre danger to the City Lord and his daughter. It was one that was extrely sinister.
“Milord, why would you want to kill my daughter? Those were just words! Do not take her words seriously! She’s rely a child who has not yet grown up! Please pardon her for what she did earlier, Milord!” the City Lord still insisted, his eyes brimming with tears. He was feeling extrely aggrieved.
Why would he et a demon like Yang Lujia today?!
On the other hand, the City Lord’s daughter, as ti passed by, was becoming more and more dumbfounded by his father’s act in front of her. She would have imagined that there would co a day when they were the ones to kneel in front of another person for the very reason that they were weak.
“I have already made a decision and so far, in my entire life, no one has been able to make change any of my decisions except for so certain people. Furthermore, as I said, your daughter cultivates the rules of lust, one of the Rules of Seven Sins. The other rules might be forgivable—but the rules of lust could certainly not be. If it’s normal for cultivators to use won or n as cauldrons, then let this world of cultivation welco a hell where I, Yang Lujia, am the king, who forbids the rules of lust to exist in a person!”
His eyes showed a glint of coldness as he effortlessly lifted the body of the City Lord away from his daughter. The City Lord could only cry his hardest as Yang Lujia would slowly sap away his daughter’s life.
“Milord—”
When he was about to talk once more, Yang Lujia sealed his movents once more and said, “You are disappointing as a father. You actually taught your daughter the wrong way. Like they said, what their child has beco is priorly the parents’ fault. After her, you’re the next one who will die.”
However, the City Lord did not react to what Yang Lujia said. He was only concerned with his daughter’s life. Her life was, after all, already in the hands of another person he could not afford to offend, much less contend against.
“You should have taught her better. I can see that you love her very much, but to my dismay, you aren’t a good father as well. If you were father from back then, he would have already slapped to the ground when he saw that his son had done sothing wrong,” Yang Lujia said. He couldn’t even help but compare how his father was so adamant about not giving Yang Lujia the free will he wanted.
“You two deserved to die. Besides, you’re not even real people. I have no scruples about killing the two of you. If I must say, you cannot leave this place on your own accord, right? Otherwise, you could have already usurped the other powers outside with your strength.”
When the City Lord heard what Yang Lujia said, he was thoroughly shocked.
Just how formidable Yang Lujia was to be able to see through the array formation left by that ‘Lord’ for them?
Yang Lujia had already inspected the array formation enveloping the Undying City before he entered with Cai Hong. rely, it was just out of curiosity that he decided to conduct so inspection. However, later on, he found out that there was more to it than the surface.
“Moreover, I could even guess that your daughter wasn’t born through conventional ans. In other words, she was born through the array formation’s energy,” Yang Lujia continued, which even surprised the crowd watching at the mont.
In every corner, every person had their fair guesses. After all, so of them really didn’t know where they ca from, what they were doing here, and why they were forbidden from going out of the Undying City. Hence, they could only trade with those rogue cultivators who went inside the Undying City—or more accurately speaking, inside the array formation constructed.
“It isn’t also true that you were here for a very long ti. This is an isolated city, and I don’t know the reason for the old man to lay down such a formidable array formation. However, I am pretty certain that you were all born just recently—at least for a few years.
“Your mories were just altered and that you believed that you existed long before the four regions were nad. Did you even know the forr nas of the four regions or what they were like in the past? You did not know a single speck of information, right?”
Yang Lujia swept his gaze over the crowd and later shook his head. “You are really all pitiful—all of you were just products of soone’s imagination. I just don’t know how strong that old man who managed to create all of you like real lifeforms.”
Even Cai Hong could not help but drop his jaw. This news ca so fast to him that he was unable to process everything all at once. He could not help but evaluate His Highness’ strength again, even more so for His Highness’ sharpness toward array formation.
Cai Hong’s thoughts were slowly sailing away from reality. “Could it be that His Highness is also very proficient when it cos to array formations? Just who is His Highness? Are we sure here that he’s not so kind of monster born together with the world?”
BANG!
As soon as Cai Hong’s thoughts were getting wilder, a loud bang echoed in everyone’s ears. Every one of them even felt like they had beco deaf—with the exception of Cai Hong and Yang Lujia himself.
However, everyone could see that the woman who was claid to be the daughter of the City Lord had now beco nothing but a pond of blood.
Although the City Lord wanted to shout out loudly for this loss, he was not able to. Moreover, he began to contemplate what Yang Lujia said to him before.
“Are we really just imaginary people? Are we not really real like we all know? I thought it was because of the array formation that we can’t get out of the city. It turns out it has sothing to do with the old man that has left us here. That old man also tampered with our mories—it goes to show that we were deceived—but why would he?!” He felt indignant.
The City Lord was unable to believe and accept that he and the others were really just people created by soone.
