Within an elegant library within the City Lord's Palace.
A male and female sat opposite each other and talked.
"Qin Sword Palace Master, you came all the way to the Flooding Lake just to find the Sky Qin Nine Music?"
The Flooding Lake City Lord sat there, looking as scholarly as ever. However, there was a hint of loneliness and coldness in his expression.
The female opposite him looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had an indescribable elegance to her.
It was hard to imagine that this seemingly fragile beauty was the leader of one of the eight monstrous powers, the Qin Sword Palace.
"Liu Jiutian, you and I have a bit of a relationship. The Heavenly Qin Nine Music is the supreme sacred technique of the Dao of the Qin in the Northern Continent. It's related to the Qin Sword Palace's Qin Sword Nine Mystic Scripture. Leaving this sacred music score to an outsider like you wouldn't be of much use. "
The Qin Sword Palace Master smiled and tried to convince the Flooding Lake City Lord.
"I know that the 'Celestial Zither Nine Sounds' is extremely tempting to someone like you who practices the zither and sword. Not only you, even Empress Qin is interested in it. "
The Flooding Lake City Lord's expression was calm and emotionless.
"Empress Qin? She also came to find you? "
The Qin Sword Palace Master's eyebrows furrowed.
The "Empress Qin" of the great country was very powerful, and even though she was the Qin Sword Palace Master, she was wary of her.
Furthermore, the Qin Sword Palace and the Liu family were both part of the Imperials.
Empress Qin and the Qin Sword Palace Master represented the Great Country and had the highest status.
If the two of them wanted something at the same time, even veteran True Lord Ranks would feel pressured. Neither side could be easily offended.
"I've already rejected Empress Qin."
The Flooding Lake City Lord said.
"You rejected Empress Qin?"
Hearing this, the Qin Sword Palace Master was half happy and half worried.
She was happy because Empress Qin was no longer a strong competitor, but worried because the Flooding Lake City Lord didn't even want to offend Empress Qin. This meant that it would be hard for her to achieve her goal.
"The music was left behind by Qinxin's mother, and Qinxin has always treasured it. Even if it's useless to me, I won't casually give it away. "
The Flooding Lake City Lord quickly shook his head and expressed his attitude.
The Qin Sword Palace Master wasn't surprised. The Flooding Lake City Lord was a sentimental person and it wouldn't be easy to move him with benefits.
She was thinking of a way to move the Flooding Lake City Lord.
At this moment, the sound of something tearing through the air came from the outer gate.
"City Lord, something bad has happened …"
Loud exclamations came from outside the library.
Hmm?
The Flooding Lake City Lord's face sank and he asked angrily, "What happened?"
This library was where the Flooding Lake City Lord cultivated.
Usually, as long as the Flooding Lake City Lord was here, he would be in seclusion. No matter how big or small the Flooding Lake City was, no one dared to disturb him.
Furthermore, the Flooding Lake City was currently talking to the Qin Sword Palace Master, who was a major figure in the Great Country.
"Maybe something big happened?"
The Qin Sword Palace Master revealed a questioning expression.
The Flooding Lake City Lord snorted.
Whoosh!
A shadow landed in a corner of the library. "Reporting to the City Lord, Zhao Feng has returned!"
"Who's back? Zhao … Zhao Feng? "
The Flooding Lake City Lord's body shook and he was startled.
"Zhao Feng? Is he one of the overwhelming prodigies, the one who ran away from the marriage? "
The Qin Sword Palace Master revealed a weird expression.
"That Zhao Feng is in front of the City Lord's Palace and says that he wants to see you …"
The shadow said carefully.
However.
Before he finished speaking, the Flooding Lake City Lord's eyes turned silver-red and a bright red light spread in the air.
"Zhao Feng! You still have the face to come to the Flooding Lake City? You're courting death … "
An enraged roar shook the entire Flooding Lake City.
A red light spread in the air above the City Lord's Palace and the Fire Yuan Power resonated with it, forming a shocking phenomenon.
At that moment.
The entire City Lord's Palace, from those at the True Spirit Realm to those at the Ascended Realm and Consolidated Realm, all felt a suffocating heat.
It felt as if there was high-temperature magma about to gush out of the ground and pour out endless fury.
When the True Lord Rank's intent was unleashed, all those at the True Spirit Realm within a thousand miles could feel the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi ripple.
"City Lord!"
"Greetings, City Lord!"
The figures in front of the City Lord's Palace bowed in shock.
At this moment in time, countless figures in the Flooding Lake City looked up at the bright red light floating in the air – the Flooding Lake City Lord.
"What a powerful aura. Normal True Lord Ranks probably aren't his match. "
Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye exchanged glances with each other in shock.
They had participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and entered the inheritances, so they had seen many things.
At this moment in time, the power of the Flooding Lake City Lord's fire technique rose unbelievably.
Back then, when Zhao Feng ran away, the Flooding Lake City Lord had broken through to the True Lord Rank in this state.
"City Lord Liu, this junior Zhao Feng has come to visit you. What happened back then … "
Zhao Feng cupped his fists and bowed.
No matter what, the Flooding Lake City Lord was Liu Qinxin's father.
"Junior, shut up! You have the face to mention what happened back then? Because of you, Qinxin's reputation has been ruined and the Flooding Lake Liu family's reputation has been ruined. "
The Flooding Lake City Lord floated in the air and roared furiously. His voice was like thunder as the red flames around him roared.
Zhao Feng stood calmly, but he didn't care in his heart.
Back then, if it wasn't for the Flooding Lake City Lord forcing him, Zhao Feng wouldn't have gotten engaged to Liu Qinxin and run away.
In the end, Liu Qinxin caught up and made a bet. Zhao Feng felt guilty and promised to marry her.
"You've come at the right time. I'll kill you myself … to take revenge for Qinxin. "
The Flooding Lake City Lord's roar contained traces of grief and indignation.
However, he hadn't completely lost his mind.
Zhao Feng's cultivation had reached the early-stage True Lord Rank and was on par with him. Once the two True Lord Ranks fought in front of the City Lord's Palace, who knew how many innocent people would be harmed.
Although the Flooding Lake City Lord was confident, he didn't have the confidence to kill Liu Qinxin in one move.
"What!? Revenge? What happened to Qinxin? "
Zhao Feng's heart shook and he couldn't help but exclaim.
From the Flooding Lake City Lord's words, could something have happened to Liu Qinxin?
Before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the Flooding Lake City Lord was at most hostile towards Zhao Feng and put him on the wanted list. However, due to the Iron Blood Religion's power, he wouldn't do anything openly.
However, from his tone, the hostility had reached the level of 'deep hatred.'
"Zhao Feng. You're an overwhelming prodigy of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. Don't you know that Qinxin met with an accident in the inheritance and hasn't returned yet? "
The Flooding Lake City Lord laughed in anger and stared coldly at Zhao Feng.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
At this moment in time, the spectators near the City Lord's Palace were sent away by the Flooding Lake City Lord.
Only Zhao Feng and company were left in front of the City Lord's Palace. There was no one within a hundred yards.
"Qinxin hasn't returned?"
Zhao Feng's expression finally changed as he looked towards Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye.
Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye both faintly nodded their heads.
They had heard that Liu Qinxin hadn't returned from the inheritance.
In reality, it wasn't unusual for her to not return from the inheritance.
Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye thought that Zhao Feng had come to the Flooding Lake City for 'revenge,' so they didn't mention this.
"Why is it like this?"
After confirming it, Zhao Feng's heart seemed to be hammered and he was dazed.
At this moment in time, his heart was empty, filled with disappointment, regret, and shame.
Zhao Feng understood that if Liu Qinxin hadn't returned yet, her chances of survival were extremely slim.
After all, not everyone could be like Zhao Yufei and have heaven-defying fortune.
"Qinxin's personality is calm. If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't have participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering."
The Flooding Lake City Lord roared and turned into a red figure that charged towards Zhao Feng.
At this moment in time.
The people near the City Lord's Palace had all been sent away.
Zhao Feng's mind was shaken and a clear opening had appeared. This was the best chance to attack.
"Mystic Fire Burning Demon!"
The Flooding Lake City Lord's figure instantly appeared in front of Lin Yun and pushed out his palm. A large scarlet light appeared and the flames burned, causing the space around them to twist.
Not good!
Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye only felt the air around them be filled with a layer of red light.
The two felt as if they were being burned and circulated their Qi of True Spirit to no avail.
This was just the aura of the Flooding Lake City Lord's attack.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be if that palm came crashing down head-on.
"No wonder the Flooding Lake City Lord wanted to disperse everyone before attacking."
Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye felt like they were in a furnace and cursed in their hearts.
They believed that someone as strong as Zhao Feng should be able to block the Flooding Lake City Lord's attack, but the two of them might be caught in the crossfire.
"The two of you retreat first."
A low murmur came from beside his ear.
Weng ~ ~
A numbing electric shock hit the two of them.
A ring of wind and lightning rippled like water, producing a powerful repulsive force that pushed Jiang Sanfeng and Liu Yu several hundred feet away.
The next instant.
Peng!
The Flooding Lake City Lord's furious palm landed on the ground.
The front of the City Lord's Palace shook and a palm shaped pit forty to fifty yards wide appeared.
The pit was bottomless.
Sii!
Some of the experts in the surroundings sucked in a breath of cold air as they endured the impact of the flames. It was as if they were being swept by a raging fire.
Boom! Boom!
Even though the power of this palm was extremely condensed, the slightest ripple still caused the walls of the City Lord's Palace to collapse.
"Chapter Leader just saved us …."
Die Ye reacted and her face was filled with worry.
In that moment of danger, they only saw Zhao Feng use a secret technique of Wind Lightning to push them out of the range of the Flooding Lake City Lord's palm.
As for Zhao Feng, he didn't seem to resist at all.
Looking at the bottomless pit, the two couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
In their eyes, although Zhao Feng was strong, he wasn't a body-strengthening expert who could block attacks from True Lord Ranks with his body.
Not to mention that the Flooding Lake City Lord's Inferno Nirvana Scripture was at a very high level, and its offensive power was especially strong.
Shua!
The Flooding Lake City Lord's figure flashed near the pit, but his expression froze.
"City Lord Liu, I'm indeed ashamed about what happened to Qinxin."
A regretful voice sounded in the air.
The figure of a blue-haired youth appeared in a ball of wind and lightning.
"What profound Wind Lightning. While pushing those two away, he also dodged the Flooding Lake City Lord's attack. I heard that Zhao Feng entered the mysterious inheritance. I wonder what he obtained. "
The Qin Sword Palace Master's eyes twinkled.
