No one would have thought that the Phoenix City Lord would come and go in a hurry. He was all talk but no action. He was unable to bring the murderer of his son to justice and left the shop with a desolate expression.
When he came to the inner courtyard, the old man saw Lin Xiu's figure and was in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes and walked over to Lin Xiu while trembling.
"You … you brat are actually fine."
Lin Xiu immediately told the old man about what happened in the shop. After the old man heard the story, he fell into deep thought and sighed helplessly after a long time.
"Sigh, the City Lord is actually a bitter person."
Seeing Lin Xiu, the old man was a little puzzled. He patted Lin Xiu's shoulder, then looked at Lin Xiu's hopeful eyes and told the story about the Phoenix City Lord.
It turned out that many years ago, the Phoenix City Lord was also born in a poor family, but he was strong ever since he was young. When he saw that the children of other rich and noble families could practice martial arts from a young age, he was bold and one day, he sneaked into a family. He secretly hid in a secret place and listened to the guidance of the teachers on the rich and noble children. Over time, he found some ways to learn.
Later, like many small cities in the continent, the sects that the dynasty was attached to began the annual disciple selection.
In order to obtain a place to participate in the written examination, he secretly knocked out a rich young master when he wasn't paying attention. Then, he changed into his clothes and secretly went to the City Lord's Mansion to register. When the family found out, it was already too late.
Later on, the Phoenix City Lord finally displayed extraordinary talent and many of the disciples of the big sects were not his match. Thus, the Phoenix City Lord was brought into a cultivation sect as he wished.
But just like what Deacon Liu said when Lin Xiu entered the Gui Yuan Sect, even though these disciples who had just entered the sect were the top geniuses in their respective cities, when all the geniuses gathered together, they would be insignificant.
Among the group of new disciples, the Phoenix City Governor's strength was not considered to be the strongest. As time passed, he gradually realized that he was inferior to the others. Even though he trained hard every day and put in more effort than the average person, in the end, he could only barely reach the Renyuan level.
In that sect, the Phoenix City Lord had gotten to know his own junior sister and had developed feelings for her. However, his junior sister was the only daughter of an elder. Naturally, he did not want his own daughter to follow an ordinary disciple with no future. Thus, he had forcefully separated them.
But the junior sister of the Phoenix City Lord was also a strong-willed girl. One day, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, she sneaked out of the sect and chose to live together with the Phoenix City Lord.
The two of them hid along the way, not wanting to attract anyone's attention. In some ordinary cities, Renyuan Realm warriors were already considered as overlords. The two of them lived a leisurely and carefree life.
But good times did not last long. In the end, the father of the junior sister of the Phoenix City Lord found them. At that time, the junior sister of the Phoenix City Lord had already given birth to a son. When the elder saw this situation, he naturally gritted his teeth. But what was done could not be undone and there was no other way. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, he withdrew the arrest order for the Phoenix City Lord and even arranged for him to be a city lord in Phoenix City. This way, it could ensure that the couple would not be disturbed by the outside world.
When the second son of the Phoenix City Lord was born, the sect that he was originally in suddenly underwent a huge change.
There were some elders who relied on their powerful influence within the sect to forcefully force the sect master to abdicate. The Phoenix City Governor's father-in-law was a loyal subordinate of the sect master. Naturally, he was unwilling to watch such a situation unfold before his eyes.
As a result, an unavoidable battle finally erupted. In that battle, although the sect master barely managed to protect his position and completely annihilated all the traitorous elders, the Phoenix City Governor's father-in-law was unfortunately killed.
After giving birth to a son, the strength of the Phoenix City Lord's wife was already greatly damaged. When she suddenly heard this news, she immediately breathed her last.
The guilty sect master remembered the contributions that the father-in-law of the Phoenix City Lord had made for him. In addition to the fact that the wife of the Phoenix City Lord had just recently passed away, he divided Phoenix City into the territory of the Phoenix City Lord and allowed it to be passed down from generation to generation.
Back then, Madam Phoenix's character was extremely docile and she treated the citizens of the city extremely well. From then on, the Phoenix City Lord, who missed his wife, lived in seclusion and rarely went out. It could be said that he put all his energy into the construction of Phoenix City.
Originally, his two sons were also extremely kind and courteous towards the citizens of the city. However, this time, the great change in the world seemed to have brought out the dark side of human nature. This caused their temperament to change greatly and they did many heartless things.
One had to know that when the Phoenix City Lord had left, this pair of sons had been extremely filial. In the blink of an eye, he had just returned, but he had already heard of so many evil deeds. More importantly, his youngest son had actually been separated from him. How could he not be sad?
After Lin Xiu knew the story of the Phoenix City Lord, he also sighed.
No wonder even though he was extremely angry at that time, he still forcefully suppressed his sorrow and wanted to leave a way out for himself. It turned out that the Phoenix City Lord was indeed a rare good person.
The heavens pitied a person in the prime of his life, an expert of the Origin Realm, after losing his wife, his youngest son actually also lost his life.
The most sorrowful thing in the world was the death of an old man with black hair.
The reason why the Phoenix City Lord did not make things difficult for the old man was probably because the two had similar experiences.
It was as if there was a seed in Lin Xiu's heart that began to sprout. Because of the sealed memories, his reaction was a little slow. At this moment, it was as if he had been enlightened. Everything flowed in his heart like clear water and his grasp of the events also became clearer.
The old man was just an ordinary person and did not feel the changes in Lin Xiu's body. He shook his head and sighed bitterly before returning to the house and began to prepare breakfast for Lin Xiu.
In the blink of an eye, a few months passed. The sky was still dusky and the light of the sun could not be seen at all.
Even after the Phoenix City Lord returned, he tried his best to improve the conditions in the city and even restricted his subordinates by issuing an extremely strict decree. But because of the imminent destruction of the world, a person's temperament changed greatly and would often do some bad things. This also caused the Phoenix City Lord to be in a terrible state.
But all this had nothing to do with Lin Xiu. All he did was help the old man manage the business in the shop. Although the business was a little bleak, it was still able to support the two of them.
However, on this day, everything changed. The black fog in the sky became thicker and from time to time, there would be the roars of evil spirits coming from afar. It caused one's hair to stand on end and it made one's hair stand on end.
In the City Lord Residence, Wang Chao was originally sitting in front of the table, reminding him of some of the recent events. As if he felt something, he suddenly opened the door. After seeing the scene outside, his breathing became hurried. Without thinking much, he knew that something big was about to happen.
