Just a year after the change of the new city lord, another major incident occurred in Canyon Peak City. The twelve guards of the city lord's mansion were almost all dead, and this was with Lu Ping and Chu Min not being too careful when they made their moves. They only needed to strike the person down. They didn't care if he died or not. Wei Chao, who was on the verge of death, was still alive. Wei Yang, who was the first to be taken down, woke up with his face covered in dirt. He looked at the mess of the execution ground and was confused.
Soon, he saw Wei Chao leaning against the flagpole and moved over with some difficulty.
"How many people did the other side send?" he asked after taking a deep breath.
"How many?" Wei Chao, whose face was ashen, actually laughed when he heard the news. Then, he began to cough and spit out mouthfuls of blood.
Wei Yang looked at him in astonishment. Only then did he carefully sweep his eyes around the scene. Only then did he notice that all the casualties were from the City Lord's Mansion. There was not even a single enemy corpse.
Could it be …
A figure flashed in his mind, but he refused to believe it. He turned to look at Wei Chao, only to see Wei Chao raise three fingers at him with difficulty.
"No, no." Wei Chao's eyes were a little cloudy. He looked at his raised fingers and shook his head. He raised his other hand and bent one of his three fingers back.
"Two, it's two." Wei Chao grinned, "And they're the two that you and I both know."
Was it really just them?
Were they that strong?
"What about Teacher Ge Bing? Didn't he make a move?" Wei Yang asked.
"Him?" Wei Chao seemed to have heard a joke and began to laugh again. He then raised his finger and pointed.
Ge Bing's body was stuck in the wooden board of the execution platform. Not only was he dead, but his death was also somewhat comical.
"Do you know? He couldn't even take one move from the other side like you. "Wei Chao said.
Wei Yang was the most conceited person. If someone said that he couldn't even take one move from the other side, he would definitely get angry. But right now, he didn't have any temper at all. His face was full of shock.
Wei Chao, who was beside him, began to cough and vomit blood again.
"Don't say anymore. I'll send you back to the mansion first." Wei Yang said to him.
"Back to the mansion? Which mansion? City Lord Mansion? "Wei Chao said.
"Where else could it be?" Wei Yang frowned. Wei Chao's delirious appearance made him a little annoyed. He was not a particularly patient person. The other party's strength was indeed surprising, powerful to the point of being astonished. However, was there a need to be scared to this extent?
"Hehehe … City Lord's Mansion? Anything else? Did you know that the City Lord died again … "Wei Chao said.
"What?" Wei Yang was shocked. The second time he looked at the scene, he noticed that Castellan Wei Tianqi was not here.
"Strange, why did I say 'again'? How strange, "Wei Chao said, shaking his head repeatedly.
"You should rest for a while." Wei Yang raised his hand and, regardless of Wei Chao's injury, directly knocked him out.
The City Lord died again?
This was bad news, very bad news. The previous City Lord was dead, but at least there was a successor. But with Wei Tianqi's death, the Wei branch of Gorge Peak City was completely extinct. People like them who relied on the resources of the City Lord's Mansion, were they really going to scatter like monkeys when the tree falls?
In any case, it was better to go back and take a look!
Wei Yang thought as he picked up Wei Chao and looked at the messy execution ground. However, he was not in the mood to settle anything and rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, there were small teams of guards running around like headless flies, but Wei Yang was not in the mood to do anything to them. When someone came up to greet him, he ignored them and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord Wei Chang, you're back!" There were many guards at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, Wei Ming. After this greeting, a person rushed out of the door. It was Wei Huai, the family guard in charge of the City Lord's Mansion's security. When he came out, he saw Wei Chao being carried by Wei Yang.
"How is Chief Wei?" he hurried forward and asked.
"He's not dead yet. Quickly arrange for someone to treat him," Wei Yang said.
"All the doctors are with the City Lord now. Why don't we send Chief Wei there as well?" Wei Huai said.
"The City Lord's side?" Wei Yang was stunned.
"The City Lord's injuries are not light," Wei Huai said with a worried expression.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yang's face lit up when he heard this. Wei Chao had clearly said that the City Lord was dead. Now that he heard that the City Lord was seriously injured, in comparison, was this not good news?
"I'll go take a look. Wei Chao, you settle him down!" Wei Yang said as he threw Wei Chao to Wei Huai and rushed into the mansion. In a moment, he arrived at Wei Tianqi's residence. He saw several doctors coming out of the house in a single file.
"Where's the City Lord?" Wei Yang hurried forward and asked.
"He's fine for now," one of the doctors said. He did not look nervous, which made Wei Yang secretly heave a sigh of relief. In his heart, he was cursing Wei Chao. When he heard the news of Wei Tianqi's death from Wei Chao, his first thought was to leave and find another way out. At this moment, he was only glad that he did not make a prompt decision. It was not easy to become a trusted aide of the City Lord's Mansion in a district. It was not difficult for him to find another way out with his current strength of the Three Spirits Connected. However, it would not be easy to obtain such a position again.
Wei Yang then wanted to go in to visit Wei Tianqi, but he was unexpectedly stopped by the guards outside.
"What are you doing?" Wei Tianqi was annoyed. The City Lord trusted the Twelve Family Guards the most. In particular, he, Wei Chao, and a few of his former subordinates had a deep relationship with Wei Tianqi. No one had ever dared to block him outside the City Lord's door.
"The City Lord has something important to discuss with you. He ordered that no one is allowed in," the guard said.
"No one? Am I anyone? "Wei Tianqi's face was stiff. No matter how important the City Lord's Mansion was, he, Wei Chao, and the others would not be kept from them.
"The City Lord specifically ordered that even the few sirs," the guard said.
Wei Tianqi was stunned. He did not expect Wei Tianqi to have a confidential matter that even the few of them did not want to reveal.
"Who is the City Lord discussing with? Is it someone from the academy? "Wei Tianqi asked.
"We're not sure either," the guard said.
Wei Yang did not pester him anymore, but he did not leave. Who was in the house? He was still very curious. If it was someone from the Southern Sky Academy, they had a distinguished status and their clothes were obvious. The guards should have been able to recognize them. Since they were not sure, it was most likely not them. But other than someone from the academy, Wei Yang really could not think of anyone important around Wei Tianqi that would keep them outside the door.
He simply paced around the courtyard.
The guard did not know, and the City Lord might not say anything. He could pretend to run into them here. That should be fine, right?
Seeing that the guard had no intention of saying anything about his actions, Wei Yang simply waited there. But he did not know that the conversation in the house had already ended. The person who came left quietly and did not appear at the main gate. As for Wei Tianqi, he was lying on the bed with serious injuries, but he did not rest. He stared at the curtain of the bed, thinking about the conversation that had just ended.
He had status. He was the City Lord of the jurisdiction. Even if it was just the most remote and backward mountain area in the Gorge Peak District, he was still a duke that could be counted on one hand.
Connections and backing? He did not abandon the resources that his father had left behind. In comparison, he had entered the Southern Sky Academy and become the disciple of Shen Muyan, one of the top 28 people in Southern Sky. The situation that he had opened up was even more promising than his father's many years of management.
But today, all that he had worked hard to manage seemed so insignificant. Status, connections, backing, in the face of absolute power, did not play any role at all. People were not afraid of the position of City Lord; people did not care when he mentioned the Southern Sky Academy. Even his fellow disciples and his teacher had already made a move. But so what? In the end, wasn't it all thanks to his quick reflexes that he was able to escape?
That person was right.
Only when he had power would he be the most reliable. In fact, how could he not understand this principle? But he also knew that his cultivation talent was actually quite ordinary. Even if he entered the Southern Sky Academy, he was not sure that he would be able to improve much. Not to mention, how long would it take?
"And I can provide you with the power you want."
This sentence was what really moved Wei Tianqi. It sounded like this power did not need to be cultivated, and could be obtained by force like the Moonlight Soul Cleansing?
But what did he need to pay? The other party could not possibly give him such help for no reason.
"Well, think about it carefully first. What can you sacrifice for this? I also need to confirm how much determination and courage you have. Think about it carefully, and I will come to you again. "
After saying this, the other party left, and Wei Tianqi immediately began to think about it seriously.
He really desired power, very, very powerful power. If it was power that could even take down that person in Luoyang City in the northwest, then his revenge could be considered complete.
But was it possible? Wei Tianqi shook his head and denied this overly exaggerated idea of his. He could not be so greedy. But at the very least, it had to be on par with Lu Ping. No, it should be more powerful than Lu Ping, right? Of course, he did not know that this idea that he had defined as "at least" was much more greedy than he had thought.
And Lu Ping, who had this greedy power, had already left Canyon Peak City. Walking in front of the three, Lu Ping strode quickly, but wherever he walked, blood gradually began to leave a trail of blood.
The battle did not cause him any injuries, but the loss of control of his Spirit Power had caused countless wounds to appear all over his body. Even now, blood was still seeping out from time to time, and eventually gathered at the soles of his feet. It was clear that the amount of blood he had lost was quite shocking.
"Stop for a moment, let me take a look at your injuries," Chu Min, who had been walking behind him, finally spoke.
"They are all minor injuries," Lu Ping said after he stopped.
"They are minor, but there are quite a lot of injuries." Chu Min walked up, pulled up Lu Ping, and rolled up his sleeves.
His arm looked clean, but after a while, densely packed blood spots appeared. It was as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"What do you think this means?" Chu Min asked. She knew that Lu Ping was not stupid at all. This injury, this situation, he must have thought about it.
"This is not just a problem of losing control of my Spirit Force," Lu Ping said.
Chu Min nodded.
"This means that my body is actually not strong enough to withstand the Spirit Force in my body," Lu Ping said.
"That's right." Chu Min nodded again, "If it wasn't for the Soul Locking Shackles, what do you think you would be like now?"
"Probably... gone," Lu Ping said as he watched the fine spots of blood on his arm gradually turn into drops of blood.
"It's good that you know." Chu Min said as she let go of his arm, walked to the side, and called out to Ling Ziyan, with a nauseous expression, "Ziyan, give him some medicine, he's disgusting."
"Thank you." Lu Ping took the medicine bottle from Ling Ziyan.
"After you take the medicine, let's continue." Chu Min looked at the mountain road in front of them.
A year ago, they had walked this path with courage.
