The city magistrate was a Lifeseizer for the Heavensea Empire, and was in the seventeenth stage of the Lifeseizing level, very close to the Rebirth level.
That was why he was fine.
And yet, his wife and children had all died in the miasma, which infuriated him to the point of madness.
"Who did it?"
The city magistrate asked coldly.
"I'm not sure, but I suspect it's the Heavensea Empire's revenge."
The city magistrate chuckled.
"The Heavensea Empire! Ling Xiao! I'm going to kill you! "
The city magistrate roared. His wife and children had all died, so how could he not be angry?
"You can kill me," Yang Qi said. "I was going to kill you anyway. But I need to correct you. This miasma has nothing to do with me."
Ling Xiao's voice rang out from within the mist, and he appeared in front of the city magistrate and Guard Qin.
"Ling Xiao!"
How could they not recognize this person? They hadn't missed the live broadcast of the White Tiger Storm Meet back then. They had watched it all clearly.
Therefore, they recognized Ling Xiao's face.
"That's right, it's me!"
Ling Xiao said coolly.
"You bastard! I can't believe you killed all the commoners in the city just to kill me! "
The city magistrate glared at Ling Xiao, clearly on the verge of attacking him.
"City Magistrate," Guard Qin said, "we need to get out of here. If we don't, we'll be in big trouble."
Although the two of them hadn't been killed by the miasma yet, they were running out of vital energy, and would eventually be killed.
"You don't need to go anywhere," Guard Qin said.
"I'm here to kill you. As for whether you believe me or not, that's up to you."
Ling Xiao said coolly.
He didn't need them to believe him, nor did he care if they hated him.
"Let's go!"
Guard Qin said, shoving the city magistrate aside. Then he blocked Ling Xiao's path. "City Magistrate, hurry up and leave. I'll hold him back!"
The city magistrate hesitated for a moment. Looking at the skeletons of his wife and children, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Ling Xiao frowned and was about to give chase.
He didn't care if Guard Qin died or not. What he wanted to do now was to kill the City Lord of Lake View City so that Lake View City would be leaderless.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
However, just as he was about to leave, Bodyguard Qin suddenly knelt down.
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what was going on.
"Your Majesty, I am one of the Vice Sect Masters of Dragon Phoenix Mountain. I have already pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire and have been sent to spy beside the City Lord of Lake View City."
Protector Qin explained.
Ling Xiao's Taiji Eye spun, confirming that this person was not lying.
"What's your name?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"Qin Mu!"
The man replied.
"Why did you let the Lakeside City Lord go?"
Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
"This general has been undercover here for a very long time and has discovered that the City Lord of Lake Gazing City is not on good terms with the Tianhai clan.
The Tianhai clan has been trying to kill him, but with his outstanding military achievements, they can't find a reason to do so.
Thus, this general believes that this person can be roped in. He has a powerful navy under him with more than three hundred thousand people. If we can take him down, our Heavenly Dynasty Empire will be able to land without losing a single soldier. "
Qin Mu replied.
"Oh no!"
Ling Xiao was about to speak when he suddenly saw a group of people outside Lake View City.
Among these people, there was one that he would recognize even if he turned into ashes.
This person was Tianhai Tyranny, who had left with the Black Snake Devil Sect.
After nearly a month of cultivation, Tianhai Tyranny was no longer the same as before. Even Ling Xiao was surprised by his terrifying strength.
"This subordinate greets the cult master!"
There was a woman beside Tianhai Tyranny. She wore a red veil, obscuring her appearance. However, the two members of the Heavenly Devil Cult both addressed her as the cult master.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but be surprised. He thought that Tianhai Tyranny was the true cult master of the Heavenly Devil Cult. He was the one who had single-handedly created the Heavenly Devil Cult on the White Tiger Continent.
He didn't expect the cult master to be such a woman.
However, it seemed that Tianhai Tyranny had a very close relationship with this woman.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the mastermind behind the Heavenly Devil Cult.
"Rise. Is Ling Xiao already trapped inside?"
The cult master asked indifferently.
"Reporting to the cult master, we've been waiting near Lake View City for a whole month. We've put in a lot of effort and laid down the Five Poison Absolute Killing Formation. Once the formation is activated, even if Ling Xiao doesn't die, he won't be able to escape."
Vice Cult Master Chen reported.
Actually, he and the Yin Demon General didn't feel very comfortable. They had originally wanted to kill Ling Xiao and earn a great merit, but now that the cult master had come, they probably wouldn't be able to receive any merit.
"Where's Lake View City Lord Qin Zhan?"
Tianhai Tyranny asked.
"I forgot to introduce you. This is His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tianhai Empire, the supporter behind the scenes of our Heavenly Devil Cult.
Seeing him is like seeing him is like seeing him, "the cult master said indifferently.
At this moment, Vice Cult Master Chen hurriedly said, "Qin Zhan was rescued and is currently escaping."
"Very good. This Qin Zhan has always been dissatisfied with the Tianhai Imperials. Today, I'll personally send him to hell."
Tianhai Tyranny wanted to show off the results of his cultivation over the past month.
Qin Zhan was at Lifeseizing Level 17, while he was at Lifeseizing Level 15.
"The situation doesn't look good. This is the Five Poison Absolute Killing Formation. Even if it can't kill us, getting out won't be easy."
Ling Xiao furrowed his brows. "Qin Mu, immediately chase after Qin Zhan. I'm afraid that Heavenly Seas Tyranny will harm Qin Zhan. If you're with Qin Zhan, he'll definitely let you guys go. I'll think of a way to break this formation and meet up with you guys."
"Understood!"
Qin Mu didn't hesitate.
Qin Zhan should be leaving Lake View City soon. If he hesitated, there wouldn't be enough time.
"I'll send you off."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and blasted Qin Mu behind him. Qin Mu borrowed the wind to instantly close the distance between him and Qin Zhan.
The two met up ten minutes later. Qin Zhan didn't ask how Qin Mu had escaped from Ling Xiao.
Once they left, everything would be clear.
But once they were outside, Qin Zhan realized that he didn't even have time to speak.
He and Qin Mu were surrounded by a group of people. Tianhai Tyranny stood there and looked at him coldly.
"How does the poisonous miasma feel?"
Tianhai Tyranny sneered.
"You did it? Lake View City's two hundred thousand citizens are all citizens of the Tianhai Empire. Why did you do it? "
Qin Zhan couldn't believe his ears. He had always hoped that Ling Xiao had done it. That way, he would have enough reason to take revenge without any psychological burden.
But reality was too cruel.
The one who had killed Lake View City's two hundred thousand citizens was none other than his own crown prince!
"Why? Do you really not understand? "
