Mo Qi's expression changed again and again. It was obvious that his mind was racing. A moment later, he smiled and said, "Since Big Sister-In-Law wants evidence, then I'll investigate this matter thoroughly before deciding on the punishment."
Big Sister Gu replied, "That would be for the best."
Mo Qi glanced at Xiao Lingyu again, then turned around and led the City Lord and the Grand Commander of the City Guards to the City Lord's manor.
Big Sister Gu and Xiao Lingyu first met up with Miling and Anya, then returned to the residence in the northern part of the city.
"This is the storage treasure of the person we just killed. Take it."
When they reached the entrance of the residence, Big Sister Gu took out a storage ring.
"It was all thanks to Big Sister's powerful methods that we were able to kill that guy. Everything we obtained should belong to Big Sister. This time, we still have to thank Big Sister for speaking up for us. Otherwise, our family would probably have suffered a calamity, "Xiao Lingyu said sincerely.
Big Sister Gu put the storage ring away and said, "I'm afraid that there will be quite a bit of trouble waiting for us. Mo Qi might not give me face. He only saw that I was protecting you, and he was completely confident that he could defeat me easily. That's why we'll put this matter aside for now."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"You must leave Gourd City before Mo Qi's helpers arrive," Big Sister Gu replied.
"But they've already sealed off the entire city. How can we leave?" Anya said.
"Teleport away from the Awakening Tower," Miling said.
"I'm afraid the Lord Steward won't agree. After all, if we leave the Awakening Tower, the Lord Steward will probably be held accountable," Xiao Lingyu said worriedly.
"That's true." Miling nodded.
The mansion was still surrounded by a large number of city guards, but they did not stop Xiao Lingyu and the others.
After they entered the courtyard, Xiao Lingyu and Big Sister Gu first looked at Miaoying and Qingxuan's injuries, and then Xiao Lingyu said, "This matter shouldn't have been done by the Yun Clan. After all, the Yun Clan only has a few Nirvana Realm cultivators, and they only have that little bit of wealth. They simply don't have the courage and capital to be so arrogant."
"It's not the Yun clan, and it's definitely not the Sang clan either. It's possible that it's the Heaven's Thorn. They have the strength and confidence to do so. However, aren't they afraid that the City Lord's Manor will send experts to eliminate them?" Big Sister Gu asked doubtfully.
"Is it possible that it was done by cultivators from Blackwind Stockade?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"After all, the Black Wind Stockade is not an assassin organization. Although the Black Wind Old Monster is very strong, his temperament is much more low-key than his nickname. Moreover, if the Black Wind Old Monster wanted to make a move, he could've directly entered the city without anyone noticing. This mansion won't be able to stop him. Most importantly, the Black Wind Old Monster is not someone who kills indiscriminately. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he would've directly come for you. He wouldn't touch your family members whose cultivation is still weak. After all, experts often have their own principles. "Big Sister Gu shook her head.
"Ai, who knows where Ling 'er is hiding now." Xiao Lingyu sighed.
"Little Sister Ling 'er was too impulsive. She actually wiped out the entire family in the city. If the City Lord's Manor doesn't do anything to hunt her down, it wouldn't be justifiable." Big Sister Gu smiled bitterly.
"Even if the attack on the mansion wasn't done by the Yun Family, they would've plotted against us sooner or later. Ling 'er should've wiped them out!" Jiang Lanchang said hatefully.
"There are many ways to wipe out the Yun Family. There's really no need to be so direct." Big Sister Gu continued.
At this moment, the manager of the Awakening Tower suddenly arrived.
Previously, when something happened here, Lord Yu often came to visit. He even stayed here and fought with Miling against strong enemies. It was clear that he was a very loyal person.
"I just received a transfer order from the higher-ups. I'm being transferred to another city's manager. Also, the higher-ups have already sent a colleague to take over the Awakening Tower here," Lord Yu said.
"It seems that Mo Qi already knows that you two are close, so he must've contacted the higher-ups of the Awakening Tower." Big Sister Gu guessed.
"That's not the case. Actually, they've already informed me of my transfer. However, it was only an intention in the past. They didn't give me a choice, so it was delayed again and again. Coincidentally, the new manager sent by the higher-ups just arrived in Gourd City today. That's why they sent me a message." Lord Yu shook his head and explained.
"Then it's a coincidence."
Xiao Lingyu responded, then said, "Mo Qi might not make things too difficult for us, but if his helpers arrive, he'll definitely trap us in Gourd City forever. He might even imprison us and wait for Ling 'er to deliver himself to him. Right now, there's only one path for us … and that is to force our way out of the city!"
Although Big Sister Gu frowned, she still said, "I'll help you stall Mo Qi. With Ling 'er's support, the City Lord and the City Guard Commander won't be a problem. We're not far from the North Gate. We shouldn't need too much fighting to force our way out. "
"Lord Yu, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best that you don't interact with us too much right now," Xiao Lingyu said kindly.
Lord Yu nodded, then cupped his fists and left. Although he was righteous, he wasn't a brute. He could only help Xiao Lingyu's family within the limits of what he thought was reasonable. He definitely wouldn't get involved in something like this that would offend a powerful faction.
Xiao Lingyu looked at Miling again.
Miling smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth. He said, "I used to be very timid, and I'm still not that brave now. However, even if I die this time, I, Miling, will definitely accompany everyone. I won't back down!"
When Xiao Lingyu had just arrived at the Immortal Realm's Gourd City, Miling had helped him. However, Xiao Lingyu's subsequent repayment wasn't bad either. After so many years of being together, Miling, who had worked hard alone for so many years, had already integrated himself into this big family. Now that a great disaster was upon them, it was reasonable for him to want to share the trials and tribulations.
Big Sister Gu stepped in to help Miao Ying and Qing Xuan heal their injuries. Then, Xiao Lingyu and Big Sister Gu consumed high-quality medicinal pills to recover. After only two days, Xiao Lingyu and Big Sister Gu were the first to leave the residence.
"The City Lord has ordered that before the case is verified, no one is allowed to leave this residence even half a step!"
A City Guard expert who was in the Realm of Puppets said sternly.
Unfortunately, what responded to this expert was Xiao Lingyu's ferocious palm strike. His body, which was still standing firm just now, was directly sent flying far away.
The City Guards surrounding the residence immediately rushed forward. However, they were at most at the Ninth Celestial Layer of Immortal Realm. They couldn't stop Xiao Lingyu's cultivators. After all, there was still Big Sister Gu, who was in the Extreme Star Realm.
However, just as Xiao Lingyu's side made their move and rushed out of the residential area, the City Lord and the City Guard Commander led thousands of City Guards to reinforce them.
The City Lord and the City Guard Commander were both true Nirvana Realm cultivators. Not to mention joining forces, just any one of them could easily defeat Xiao Lingyu.
Big Sister Gu made her move. However, just as she did, Mo Qi appeared in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, you're forcing me." Mo Qi said helplessly.
"Just in time to see if you've improved over the years."
Big Sister Gu smiled faintly. She didn't look too anxious. She knew that even if she tore down this gourd city, Mo Qi wouldn't be able to do anything to her. As for the other experts on Mo Qi's side, they would probably act as if they didn't see anything.
"Hehe, then this little brother will accompany you for a few moves. I hope you'll be merciful."
Mo Qi first smiled and dealt with Big Sister Gu. Then, he shouted loudly, "Kill all these thieves who dare to cause trouble in the city!"
"Yes!"
The City Lord and the City Guard Commander led thousands of City Guards in response.
Mo Qi then started fighting with Big Sister Gu. In order to cover Xiao Lingyu and the others to kill their way out of the city and really hold Mo Qi back, Big Sister Gu didn't hold back. Her attacks were very fierce, and Mo Qi couldn't block them easily.
Moreover, Extreme Astral Realm experts couldn't fight in the city. Otherwise, the aftershock of their fight could easily turn the entire city into ruins.
Fortunately, just as Big Sister Gu flew away with Mo Qi, Ling 'er appeared. She first released a large nebula fog to envelop the City Lord. Then, she flashed in front of the City Guard Commander and exchanged a palm strike with him.
Ling 'er's attack power might not be strong, but she was still a true Nirvana Realm expert. Her various special abilities were quite threatening to normal Nirvana Realm experts.
Ling 'er blocked two true Nirvana Realm experts by herself, while Xiao Lingyu and Miling could easily deal with the other Nirvana Realm City Guards.
Moreover, Xiao Lingyu had already taken out the Xuan-Yuan Sword. After completing the refinement of his body, he could already wield this ancient longsword at will.
Wherever the Xuan-Yuan Sword's edge swept, a fierce sword light would be pushed out. Any City Guard who was hit by the sword light would be directly cut in half on the spot.
This longsword, which had been famous since ancient times, was now sharp and threatening, with an invincible might.
And Ling 'er, who was dealing with two true Nirvana Realm experts in the air, would occasionally wave her sleeves and scatter a large nebula fog to attack the City Guard Army blocking the city's streets. This helped Xiao Lingyu and the others to advance faster.
Miao Ying, Qing Xuan, and the other girls were all at the Longevity Ninth Heavenly Layer. Facing those city guards with the highest cultivation base of the Longevity Ninth Heavenly Layer, they naturally had extraordinary combat strength.
After fighting like this for nearly two hours, Xiao Lingyu and the others finally rushed out of the north gate of Gourd City as they wished. Along the way, they left behind the corpses of countless City Guards, and some cultivators who were invited by the City Lord died tragically on the spot.
After rushing out of the city, Xiao Lingyu used the nebula fog released by Ling 'er as a cover to summon the round alms shaped flying magic weapon given by Big Sister Gu. Then, she led the others into the round alms bowl and made a hand seal to accelerate the round alms bowl's flight.
The only ones in Gourd City who could intercept the round alms bowl magic weapon were the City Lord, the City Guard Commander, and Mo Qi. However, the three of them were blocked by their respective opponents and could only watch as the round alms bowl flew further and further away, finally disappearing from their sight.
Ling 'er then turned invisible, no longer dealing with the two strong enemies.
"Mo Qi, you don't seem to be in the right state today." Big Sister Gu shook Mo Qi off and said with dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, I can't really fight with my life on the line, can I?" Mo Qi also stopped and laughed unconcernedly.
"You seem to be deliberately holding back, only defending and not attacking. Could it be that you're deliberately letting them go?" Big Sister Gu asked curiously.
"They don't have that much face." Mo Qi said meaningfully.
