Almost all the residents of Canyon Peak City felt the tremors of the earth. Visible to the naked eye, a crack appeared on the lonely peak behind Zhenfeng College. The mountain suddenly split into two halves.
What happened?
The people in the houses rushed to the street, and the pedestrians on the street stopped. Everyone's faces were filled with fear as they stared at this shocking scene from afar. They could hear the loud rumbling echoing throughout the entire mountain range, spreading even further away.
The secret agents and garrison soldiers of the City Lord Mansion, who were guarding at the foot of the mountain, were even more embarrassed at this time. The mountain shook, and countless gravel and mud flew down like a rainstorm, injuring countless people. They could all be called cultivators, and some of them had even reached the realm of Link. But at the moment when the mountain split, everyone felt a powerful force that suppressed them and made them unable to move.
This was not a strange phenomenon, but a cultivator who split the mountain with a tyrannical force.
Who was it?
Although they respected the City Lord Wei Zhong very much, at this time, no one connected this matter with Wei Zhong. Because they knew that although Wei Zhong was powerful, it was not within his ability to split the whole mountain.
Probably … it was Chief Qin Qi!
Standing under a big tree in Zhenfeng College, Wei Chao thought with a gloomy expression. This was not so much a judgment, but a look of anticipation.
After all, Qin Qi was on their side, and it was best for such a tyrannical force to belong to their side. If not, Wei Chao could not imagine what they could use to resist such a force. Such a force was enough to destroy the entire Canyon Peak City, and even the Canyon Peak District.
"Wei Chao, what's going on? Where's my father? "At this moment, behind Wei Chao, a trembling voice spoke.
Wei Chao looked back and saw the little City Lord, who had been protected behind him for a moment.
Wei Tianqi's face turned blue, and his eyes stared straight at the crack that split the lonely peak in two, trembling, hoping to get an explanation as soon as possible. To get a promise of safety.
"Little City Lord, let's get out of here first!" Wei Chao said. He had to prepare for the worst. If this tyrannical force did not come from his side, then everyone present. They were probably going to start running for their lives. The only thing he could do now was to do his best to protect Wei Tianqi, who was entrusted to him by the city lord. He might be the Wei family's last hope.
"Tell me what's going on first!" Wei Tianqi refused to leave and roared at Wei Chao.
"I don't know …" Wei Chao said helplessly.
"My father is still up there," Wei Tianqi said, pointing to the two halves of the mountain. "Where can we go?"
"I'm going to find him," she said. Wei Tianqi was about to walk towards the mountain peak. He had already seen clearly that his father had never intended to abandon him. Even in that kind of situation before, he had schemed to save him. This was the biggest backer he could rely on. Apart from him, who else could he follow? Who else could be more reliable than his own father?
"Little City Lord!" Wei Chao hurriedly rushed forward to stop him. "It might be dangerous over there."
"Danger? What kind of danger? "Wei Tianqi stared at Wei Chao.
"We still don't know if the person who split the mountain in half is an enemy or a friend," Wei Chao said bitterly. In fact, he knew in his heart that this person … The possibility of him being an enemy was higher. Wei Zhong did not have this kind of strength, and Qin Qi was said to be in the realm of the connected four spirits. Wei Chao had never experienced what the connected four spirits was, but at least their City Lord had done it. Even if Qin Qi's cultivation in the connected four spirits was more advanced than Wei Zhong's, and the special ability of the Qin family, Flowing Light Dance, was more overbearing, it should not have caused such a big gap. This mountain was split by Qin Qi. This was just Wei Chao's hope, a very, very small hope.
"This mountain … was split in half by a person?" Wei Tianqi's entire body froze. Then, he cried out in panic, "What about my father?"
Wei Chao was speechless. He could not say that the City Lord was most likely dead after encountering such an opponent. At the moment, Wei Tianqi was in the state of the connected two spirits, but he did not notice the unparalleled strength of the spirit when the mountain was split in half. It could be seen to what extent his state of mind was in chaos. At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary person. He had completely lost the instinct of a cultivator to control the strength of the spirit. Recently, he had received too many shocks in a row.
Seeing that Wei Chao did not speak, Wei Tianqi suddenly realized something.
"Father!"
He shouted loudly, and suddenly rushed to the foot of the mountain without caring about anything else. It was not that he suddenly had the courage, but what he realized from Wei Chao's silence made him feel a great sense of crisis and panic. His survival instinct drove him to find Wei Zhong quickly, and quickly confirm the situation. Only the sense of security that Wei Zhong brought to him could help him walk out of this endless panic.
"Little City Lord!" Wei Chao hurriedly chased after him.
"Take me up the mountain," Wei Tianqi ordered Wei Chao.
Wei Chao did not move.
"Do you want to die?" Wei Tianqi looked left and right, and casually picked up a steel blade left behind by a guard from the ground, and slashed at Wei Chao.
What to do?
Wei Chao's mind was also a mess. Should he use force to defeat Wei Tianqi? Would this cause any more agitation to the Little City Lord? Just as he was hesitating, he heard a clang. The steel blade that Wei Tianqi slashed at him had already been blocked by someone, and a person appeared between the two of them.
"I'll take you up," that person said to Wei Tianqi.
"Wei Zhan!" Wei Chao shouted.
Of the twelve family guards of the City Lord's estate, only a few of them were left. They might be the last hope to protect the Wei Family's bloodline, but at this moment, Wei Zhan actually wanted to take Wei Tianqi into this dangerous situation. This made Wei Chao feel very confused. He did not believe that Wei Zhan could not detect the situation that he was already aware of.
"It's already over …" Wei Zhan turned his head and said to Wei Chao. Then, without further explanation, he reached out and grabbed Wei Tianqi, and leapt up the mountain.
It's already over?
From Wei Zhan's tone, Wei Chao could hear some distress. The last thread of hope that was still struggling in the bottom of his heart finally sank even deeper. But in the end, he was still unwilling to completely give up. He immediately strode forward, and followed behind Wei Chao.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, but the footsteps of the two did not stop at all. Finally, the three of them reached the top of the mountain together.
The mountain wind howled.
Amidst the fierce winds from all directions, Qin Qi stood alone on the other half of the mountain peak. He lowered his head and looked at the crack, as if he was in a daze.
Wei Chao did not pay too much attention to him, and leapt up the mountain peak. He saw a person lying on the side of the mountain, and immediately recognized that it was their City Lord — — Wei Zhong.
Wei Chao hurriedly went forward, but he only neared a few meters before his footsteps stopped.
He could already sense it. The person lying there had already lost all signs of life. Their City Lord had died just like that on the lonely peak of Canyon Peak Mountain.
Wei Chao glanced at Wei Zhan. Wei Zhan did not speak, nor did he reveal any expression. Wei Tianqi, who was beside him, had long since rushed forward, calling for his father. After lifting up Wei Zhong's corpse, he then realized that Wei Zhong had already died. He instantly opened his mouth wide, and did not make a sound for a long time.
"Little City Lord!" Wei Chao was afraid that something would happen to Wei Tianqi after being greatly agitated, so he hurriedly rushed forward. After a few more steps, he saw the wound on Wei Zhong's neck clearly. It was obvious that Wei Zhong's throat had been cut by a sharp blade.
Lu Ping? Su Tang? Siffin? Guo Youdao?
None of the skills that these people had displayed had such a method. This method seemed to be closer to someone else's.
Wei Chao did not speak. He glanced at Wei Zhan. When it came to killing people, Wei Zhan was more professional than him, and the judgment he made was more trustworthy.
Wei Zhan did not speak either, but the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
The relationship between the Twelve Family Guards was not very close, but most of the time, their hearts and minds were connected. Wei Chao immediately understood Wei Zhan's hint. He did not turn around, and did not say anything more.
Because he did not dare. Qin Qi's strength was far stronger than the three of them combined, and stronger than the entire City Lord's Mansion. Enduring was the only thing they could do now.
Who would have thought that they deliberately did not expose Qin Qi, but Qin Qi took the initiative to speak at this moment.
"It was an accident," Qin Qi opened his mouth and said. He did not say it very clearly, but Wei Zhan and Wei Chao immediately knew what he was talking about.
The two turned around. They looked at Qin Qi, and did not have any doubts. With Qin Qi's strength, and the background of the Qin family, there was no need for him to give them such a seemingly cover-up explanation. Since he said it, then it could only be the truth.
"What happened?" Wei Chao asked. The people who were still alive had to give an explanation for the dead City Lord.
"Guo Youdao. You can try to find his body at the foot of the mountain, "Qin Qi said as he pointed in a direction. Guo Youdao was almost torn to pieces by his attack, and fell from such a high peak. In such a situation, it was impossible for him to survive.
"And Lu Ping, Su Tang." When Qin Qi mentioned Su Tang, he pointed in another direction.
"What about the other two who did not reach the top of the mountain?" Qin Qi then asked.
"They jumped towards the southeast, our people are chasing after them," Wei Chao said. The people at the bottom of the mountain were under his command. They still did not know that when Lu Ping and the others came out of the crack, there was one more person.
"Southeast." Qin Qi looked in that direction, and then seemed to be about to move in that direction.
"Wait, there should be one more, right?" Wei Chao hurriedly called out.
Qin Qi stopped at the side of the mountain, and did not turn around. Of course, he did not forget that there was one more person. This person brought him the greatest shock.
"There is one more person who was taken away. Bring him home."
He said.
"The person who took him away is called Yan Qiu Ci."
After speaking, Qin Qi jumped down from the side of the mountain, and slid along the almost perfectly straight cliff towards the bottom.
The wind at the top of the mountain was still very strong.
Wei Chao, Wei Zhan and Wei Tianqi all maintained their previous positions, not moving at all.
Who was the person who split the mountain into two, was there a need to ask at this time?
Yan Qiu Ci, this name was enough to suppress all the emotions in their hearts that they could not wait to release, to make them calm down, to be rational.
The remaining one, should be called Siffin? That should be right, right? In their intelligence, they had never emphasized the existence of this youth.
But in the end, it was Yan Qiu Ci who personally paid a visit, and then brought him home?
That Siffin, was Yan Qiu Ci's family?
Yan Qiu Ci's family had always been pursued by them?
After a long time, Wei Chao and Wei Zhan still maintained their original positions, unable to recover from this matter.
At this time, Wei Tianqi gently put down Wei Zhong's corpse, he walked to the side of the mountain, and was buffeted by the strong wind.
"Little castellan!" Wei Chao saw Wei Tianqi's actions, and regained his senses, he was instantly shocked. Wei Tianqi's actions, was it because he was frightened by Yan Qiu Ci and wanted to commit suicide? Yan Qiu Ci was very scary, but since he had already left, he most likely would not pursue the matter. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be as easy as lifting a finger to exterminate them!
Wei Chao immediately wanted to explain this to Wei Tianqi, but Wei Tianqi spoke first.
"Yan Qiu Ci's family? Truly impressive. "He said, his tone calm.
"So we are still alive, isn't it really lucky?" He turned back, looked at Wei Chao and Wei Zhan, and actually laughed.
"Little castellan …" Wei Chao was a little frightened by Wei Tianqi's appearance.
"Next, what should we do?" Wei Tianqi asked Wei Chao.
"We should quickly find these corpses, and settle this matter, then let little castellan take over as castellan." Wei Chao said.
"But with my current strength, how many people will be convinced?" Wei Tianqi asked.
Wei Chao was speechless, of course he wanted to say something nice, but the current situation was too cruel. The castellan was dead, more than half of the twelve family guards were lost, the Wei family's power had reached an unprecedented low. Unfortunately, the successor, Wei Tianqi, had not matured enough, had no strength, and even more so, no one had any hope. The Wei family's rule over the Gorge Peak region had reached a dangerous state.
"Anyway, let's find those people's corpses first!" Wei Tianqi said.
