Fengyang City!
The scale of this city was several times larger than Qingfeng City.
The population was also as many as ten million.
But the people here all had one shortcoming, arrogance.
The arrogance of being superior to others.
The arrogance of looking down on others!
Living in Fengyang City was like a supreme glory.
In front of the city gate.
Ten guards set up checkpoints and seriously interrogated everyone who entered and exited the city.
And those with a little strength could feel the aura of the barrier above the city.
The aura even contained the aura of the will of the Heavenly Path.
Obviously.
The entire Fengyang City was shrouded in a barrier.
The function of the barrier was to prevent people from opening a space-time channel, or activating a magical teleportation artifact, or using other means such as concealment to sneak into the city without anyone knowing.
In other words.
With this barrier, if you wanted to enter the city, you had to pass through the city gate.
After passing through the city gate, you naturally had to be interrogated by the city guards!
And it was not an ordinary interrogation. You had to pass through the inspection of the Heaven's Eye Stone. Only when there was no problem would you be allowed to enter the city.
It had to be said.
Qin Feiyang indeed had the foresight to not come to Fengyang City. Otherwise, it would be a problem to enter the city.
"Ever since Qin Feiyang and the others entered the Central Dynasty, all places have been in a state of alert. They are not as free as before."
"Yes!"
"Fortunately, I don't enter the city often."
"Unlike some merchants who go in and out of various cities every day, I'm afraid they now spend the whole day queuing up and getting checked. It's too much of a delay."
"Brother, you really understand us."
"Huh? You're a merchant? "
"Yes."
"Now, I spend almost half of my time queuing up and getting checked. To be honest, this kind of law enforcement is not humane at all."
"There's nothing I can do about it."
"Who asked Qin Feiyang and the others to break into the Central Dynasty?"
"I heard that a place called Snow Bear City suffered the revenge of Qin Feiyang and the others. In an instant, millions of people were turned into ashes."
"I really hope that the Death God Army can find them soon and return peace to the Central Dynasty."
The people standing in line in front of the city gate were full of complaints.
At this moment!
Two figures descended in the sky.
One had an ethereal temperament, while the other had a monstrous baleful aura.
They were none other than the Inner Demons and Lu Jiajin!
"They are … Lu Yuntian and Lu Yunfeng!"
Sensing the aura of the two, everyone looked up and their pupils immediately shrank.
What were the two of them doing in Phoenix Sun City?
The Inner Demons and Lu Jiajin were famous in the Central Dynasty. Almost everyone knew about them.
The reason was none other than the fact that the two of them were powerful and extremely arrogant.
Especially the Inner Demons.
Even the Ten Great Lineal Clans were nothing in their eyes. They could come and go as they pleased.
Following the arrival of the Inner Demons, the people in the queue retreated to the side, their eyes filled with awe.
The Inner Demons laughed and walked to the front of the city gate as if there was no one around.
"Greetings to the two commanders!"
The ten city guards also hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Commander?"
"What's the situation?"
The surrounding people couldn't help but be startled.
The Inner Demons sized up the ten city guards and said mockingly, "News spread pretty fast. You already know that we are the commander and vice commander of the tenth division of the Death God Legion?"
"What?"
"They are the commander and vice commander of the tenth division of the Death God Legion?"
"Amazing."
"At such a young age, he became the commander of the Death God Army, ruling over a region and ruling over the world."
Everyone was discussing.
The fear in their eyes was even more intense.
Even a single member of the Death God Legion had the power to kill all living beings in the world, let alone the commanders of the Death God Legion.
"Not long ago, the City Lord's Mansion sent the news that the two of you have become commanders. I wonder why the two of you have suddenly come to Phoenix Sun City?"
The ten city guards smiled flatteringly, afraid of offending the two of them.
The Inner Demons raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "What right do you have to know about our affairs?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Please forgive me for speaking out of turn."
The ten people hurriedly retreated to the side.
Not to mention interrogating them, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The Inner Demons snorted coldly and stepped into the city with Lu Jiajin, instantly disappearing without a trace.
"These two people are indeed not easy to get along with."
The ten guards kept wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads, full of fear.
One of the guards suddenly looked at his companion and asked, "Should we inform the City Lord that they have entered our Phoenix Sun City?"
"Of course."
"They are definitely up to no good by coming to our Phoenix Sun City."
"Send a message to the City Lord immediately."
…
At the same time.
In the central area of the city.
There was a huge mansion here.
There were pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, and magnificent palaces, showing off a magnificent aura.
There was a golden plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion.
On it, the words "City Lord's Mansion" were written like dragons flying and phoenixes flying.
At this moment.
A young man was kneeling at the gate.
That's right!
This young man was kneeling at the bottom of the steps outside the gate. He wore a purple robe and had a good appearance and temperament, but his brows were filled with sorrow.
"It's useless for you to kneel here. We won't let you in. Get lost as soon as possible. This is not a place you should be. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless later."
There were four guards on both sides of the gate, all looking coldly at the purple-clothed young man.
Yes!
This young man was Ji Xiaowu!
Facing the humiliation and indifference of the four guards, Ji Xiaowu clenched his fists tightly and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Didn't you hear that we told you to get lost?"
One of the guards frowned, took a step forward, and kicked Ji Xiaowu. Streams of blood flowed from the corner of Ji Xiaowu's mouth.
It made him look extremely miserable.
But!
He still endured it.
Just like in the past, no matter how they beat and scolded him, he didn't fight back.
Because …
He only had one goal, to see his mother.
As long as he could see his mother, it didn't matter how much he was beaten, scolded, and humiliated.
He got up again and continued to kneel on the ground.
Seeing how stubborn Ji Xiaowu was, the guards' eyes became fiercer.
"For a lowly person like you to kneel in front of the City Lord Mansion is a disgrace to us!"
"Get lost!"
"Don't ask for a snub."
The other three guards spoke one after another.
Their eyes were filled with disgust.
Ji Xiaowu still didn't say anything.
The four guards gradually lost their patience.
"Don't you understand?"
The guard who kicked Ji Xiaowu took a step forward, grabbed Ji Xiaowu's clothes, and shouted, "The Family Head hates you. If it wasn't for your mother's pleading, you would have been dead. Now, Ji Zhangming and Ji Daxiong have died one after another, leaving you as an orphan."
"Orphan …"
Ji Xiaowu's body shook, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano. He roared, "I'm not an orphan, I'm still your mother!"
The death of Ji Zhangming and Ji Daxiong was a pain in his heart. Now that the guard said it without mercy, it tore open his scar.
How would he be able to control himself?
"How dare you yell at me?"
The guard let out a ferocious smile and punched Ji Xiaowu's abdomen, causing him to spurt out blood with a pale face.
"I didn't want to beat you up, since you just lost your family."
"But you didn't know what was good for you."
"Like father, like son."
The other three guards surrounded Ji Xiaowu and rubbed their palms together with mocking smiles.
Ji Xiaowu clenched his fists and glared at the three, "Tell me clearly, what do you mean by like father, like son?"
"We've already found out what your father did before he died."
"In order to survive, he threw away his dignity in Han Zong City and crawled into the City Lord Mansion. He was even humiliated by Dong Tianxiang."
"And now, you're the same, kneeling here pitifully."
"Isn't that like father, like son?"
"Both father and son are trash."
"Luckily, the Family Head didn't agree to let the First Miss marry your father. Otherwise, we would be humiliated with you!"
The four guards laughed coldly.
Hearing these words, Ji Xiaowu's hands instantly turned red.
These people could humiliate him, but they couldn't humiliate his father. Although this matter was indeed his father's fault, he was already dead now. A person's death was like an extinguished lamp. Why wouldn't they let a dead person go?
Moreover.
Why did his father become so extreme?
Wasn't it because these people forcefully separated his father and mother back then?
From the moment Dong Daqian had taken his mother away, his father had become a completely different person. His thirst for power and strength had become unprecedented.
"And you even dared to offend Dong Hanzong."
"Who is Dong Hanzong?"
"Even we don't dare to offend Dong Hanzong. How dare you lowly people offend him?"
"You were even used by Qin Feiyang and the others. How stupid!"
"We don't want to be blamed by Dong Hanzong, and we don't want to have anything to do with an orphan like you. If you know what's good for you, get lost immediately. Otherwise, our fists won't have eyes."
The four guards sneered.
"I'll say it again. I'm not an orphan!"
The anger and resentment that had accumulated for many years in Ji Xiaowu's heart could no longer be controlled and completely exploded.
He just wanted to see his mother. Why was it so difficult?
After all, this was his grandfather's home.
Blood was thicker than water.
But why were they so cold-blooded and heartless?
"You're an orphan."
"An orphan that no one wants."
"You're a pitiful worm that no one loves and cares for …"
"Do you really think we don't know what you're planning?"
"Ji Zhangming and Ji Daxiong died one after another. You lost your support, so you thought of us to ask for a meal here."
"Let me tell you, you'd better give up on this idea. It'll never happen!"
The four guards mocked mercilessly.
An orphan that no one wants …
A pitiful worm that no one loves and cares for …
These words kept echoing in Ji Xiaowu's mind, constantly destroying his strong heart. He almost fell into the abyss of collapse.
