Xiong Xin stood up from his chair and clapped twice. His loud laughter echoed throughout the hall. "Good, you are indeed a young hero. I was just joking with you earlier. Please don't take it to heart. "
Zhao Yun stood proudly with her sword in hand. The long sword shone brightly, and she sneered disdainfully with her master. "Unfortunately, I wasn't joking with you!"
Xiong Xin slowly walked down the steps, still grinning. He didn't take Zhao Yun's arrogance to heart at all. "Young man, you are very strong, so you need a springboard, a springboard to dominate the world. Solitary Cloud City is your best springboard. "
Seeing Xiong Xin approaching step by step, but not feeling the slightest murderous intent, Zhao Yun was a little confused about what Xiong Xin was up to. She asked, "Stinky bear, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is very simple! Not only will I pardon your impulsive offense, but I will also grant you a marriage and marry the Hu Qing sisters to you. In addition, I will grant you the title of King Equal to One. In the thousands of miles of Solitary Cloud City, besides me, you have the most respected status! "
As soon as Xiong Xin's words came out, everyone was stunned. For a moment, they thought that their ears had malfunctioned. Xiong Xin was still furious a moment ago. Why did his attitude change so drastically all of a sudden? He was actually coaxing Zhao Yun?
Xiong Yan was the first to refuse to accept it. How could a brat who was still wet behind the ears have a higher status than him? Since he became sworn brothers with Xiong Xin, he had been loyal and devoted. He had fought hundreds of bloody battles and made great contributions to Solitary Cloud City. Until now, he had only been granted the official position of Chief Steward.
But he didn't expect that his big brother's casual words would make his decades of hard work go down the drain. That pretty boy who had offended Big Brother's woman and humiliated his Frost Suit Iron Guards had easily become a king on par with the Emperor. This was a blatant slap in the face!
Xiong Yan's eyes were filled with confusion, unwillingness, and grievance. A murderous aura rushed to his mind. He stepped between Xiong Xin and Zhao Yun, and the armor on his body made a clattering sound.
"Big Brother, are you confused? That pretty boy stole the Heavenly Fox virgin's vital essence. It's fine that you didn't kill him, but why did you give him the title of King Equal to One? "
Xiong Xin sighed inwardly and said, "Second Brother, don't mess around. I have my reasons. "
But Xiong Yan did not evade or retreat. He said stubbornly, "Big Brother, Xiong Yan will never accept the way you handle things!"
Xiong Xin's eyes immediately shone with a fierce light. His voice was full of the air of an overlord. "I have my reasons. Lone Cloud City is not for you to decide!"
As if remembering Xiong Yan's contributions, Xiong Xin's attitude became gentle again, "Second Brother, you're so loyal, so of course I understand. It's just that this young man's cultivation is stronger than yours. Gu is thirsty for talents, so he naturally has to make him King Beside Me. If it weren't for the fact that I was appointed as the City Lord by the Grand Commander, I wouldn't mind abdicating my position to him. "
These words seemed to be directed at Xiong Yan, but in fact, they were specifically said to Zhao Yun. Xiong Xin didn't even look at Xiong Yan's resentful gaze. He squinted his eyes and looked through Xiong Yan's tall body. He was eager to see Zhao Yun's reaction.
In his opinion, the young boy who had not seen much of the world would definitely be moved by his "sincerity" and work for Lone Cloud City without hesitation.
To be honest, his many years of painstaking effort had completely gone down the drain. The virgin true essence that he had painstakingly wanted had been snatched away. Of course, Xiong Xin wanted to tear Zhao Yun into pieces. But after seeing Zhao Yun's strange cultivation method, he changed his mind in an instant.
When he first saw Zhao Yun, Xiong Xin didn't take this pretty boy seriously. According to the ten levels of strength commonly used in the Demon Realm, he had already reached the sixth level. And the true qi fluctuations on this pretty boy's body were obviously only around the third level.
Zhao Yun's insignificant cultivation level was naturally not enough to enter the eyes of the City Lord of Lone Cloud City. But he didn't expect this pretty boy to run rampant alone and defeat the Frost Clothed Iron Guards. This surprise made Xiong Xin immediately change his mind.
"What kind of strength does this young man have? His true qi is extremely strange. He has both the extremely cold and extremely yin true qi of ice, and the extremely hot and extremely hard true qi of fire. It's a miracle that his divine sense didn't become chaotic when the two were mixed together! "
The reason why the Frost Clothed Iron Guards were invincible was that with the thorough protection of the Invincible Shield, the enemy couldn't escape even if they were exhausted. Even a Golden Immortal could only be captured after exhausting all of his true qi.
But this pretty boy had miraculously broken the Frost Clothed Iron Guards' shield. This was the first time this had happened in the thirty years since the establishment of the Frost Clothed Iron Guards!
Even if this was done under the reminder of that little bitch Hu Lan, it was definitely no small matter for a person to have both the extreme yin and the extreme yang true qi at the same time.
"What's more, the sword in the young man's hand is definitely not simple!" Xiong Xin's intuition told him that it was better not to provoke such an enemy.
On the contrary, if he could recruit this young man, the strength of Lone Cloud City would definitely rise to another level in an instant. He would also have more weight in front of the Grand Commander.
Although he was lustful, Xiong Xin cared more about strength and status. He was able to become the overlord of a region and stand tall in Lone Cloud City for decades. He naturally had his own strengths. The so-called hatred of stealing his wife and the humiliation of stealing his virginity were insignificant compared to his wild ambition.
Just like how he tried to win over Hu Qing and her sister's mother several decades ago, Xiong Xin offered Zhao Yun an irresistible enticement. In his opinion, this young brat would definitely foolishly agree to his terms and then work himself to the bone for him. After all, he gave this young man all the beauties, status, and face he wanted.
When Hu Qing heard Xiong Xin's words, her cherry lips opened slightly in surprise. She almost wanted to ask Zhao Yun to agree to his terms. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her jade-like hand, but the surprise in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
If it was really as Xiong Xin said, Zhao Yun would become the ruler of Lone Cloud City, and her sister would naturally marry Zhao Yun as his wife, then their assassination this time would be completely unnecessary.
After all, this assassination was a helpless action taken because she didn't want to marry Xiong Xin. Now that Xiong Xin personally made an imperial promise, all the contradictions were easily resolved.
They didn't have to risk their lives to fight, and they didn't have to hit a stone with an egg. They could also get a high status and ensure the peaceful life of the Heavenly Fox Clan. Everything was so perfect.
Hu Qing's eyes were already filled with beautiful longing, as if she could see herself wearing a red wedding gown and shyly getting married to Langjun. She was just about to persuade Zhao Yun to agree to this condition, but she heard Zhao Yun laugh out loud. "Ruler of Lone Cloud City? It's so funny! "
Hu Qing suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. The beautiful illusion in her mind suddenly shattered into pieces and was blown away by the strong wind. It was impossible for her to catch a piece of it. "I'm not the woman that Langjun likes. Why would he stop for me? Even when he's having fun in bed, he's thinking about other women. "
Zhao Yun didn't notice Hu Qing's sensitivity and vulnerability. He held his long sword horizontally and said valiantly, "Stupid bear, you're really funny. I'll say it again. The only thing I want is to kill you. "
A cold light flashed in Xiong Xin's eyes. He only felt that his hot face had fallen into a cold pit. With a face full of anger, he said sternly, "Young man, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Although I pity you, if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being impolite. "
Zhao Yun sneered and said, "You talk too much nonsense. Let's talk about it when you're alive. " He was confident in his unparalleled swordsmanship. He didn't fight for temporary advantage and didn't make the first move. He thought to himself, "This stupid bear has said so many jokes. I have to let him know why he died."
Xiong Yan saw that Xiong Xin was secretly defeated and felt very happy. "Who told you to be wishful thinking? Does it hurt to be slapped in the face?"
However, as the manager of Solitary Cloud City, he relied on Xiong Xin's power. At this time, he really couldn't go too far. Instead, he had to stand up and say to Xiong Xin, "Big brother, you have a good rest. Let me catch this gigolo to relieve the hatred in your heart."
Xiong Xin muttered, "Second brother, you're not this brat's match. Don't force yourself. If I don't show a few moves, this brat won't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "
Xiong Yan was displeased that Xiong Xin said that he was inferior to this gigolo time and time again. He could tell that this gigolo was only at the third layer, while he was at the fifth layer. Even if this gigolo was lucky enough to break through the Frost Clothed Iron Guard, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to take him down with his cultivation?
Therefore, Xiong Yan shouted, "Furious Snow Blade!" He actually disobeyed Xiong Xin's order. With a leap, he was already in midair. A white light flashed in his hand and three inch long snowflake blades shot out, fiercely attacking Zhao Yun's chest.
The sharp sound of the blades piercing through the air was like a flute. Hu Qing was so shocked that she cried out, "Langjun, be careful! Your flesh will be paralyzed if you're touched by these snowflake blades. "
Zhao Yun coldly snorted, "You want to embarrass yourself with such insignificant skills?" Without dodging, she raised the long sword above her head and quickly danced a few times.
Ice and fire true qi instantly soared. With the help of the sword intent of "Peach Blossom Pond's Thousand Feet Deep", it rapidly rotated. Half green and half white lotuses were faintly discernible in the true qi vortex.
The snowflake blades entered the true qi vortex one after another. Although they were only a few inches away from Zhao Yun's head, they were like soft shrimps, listless and unable to break through her defense.
Xiong Yan was puzzled. He didn't know why his fifth layer true qi couldn't penetrate this gigolo's third layer true qi.
Thinking that Xiong Xin was watching his clumsy performance, Xiong Yan became more and more impatient. He clenched his teeth and used all of his strength to gather all of his demonic qi in his hand. Once again, he shot out six more Furious Snow Blades.
This time, the Furious Snow Blades were wrapped in a layer of light blue flames. Their cries were even more mournful and their momentum was even faster. Although they were only three inches long, they were enough to split Mount Hua and sever the blue sea.
Xiong Yan used up too much of his demonic qi and fell from the sky in a sorry state. Xiong Xin separated a trace of his demonic qi to protect Xiong Yan from falling to the ground and landing safely.
Xiong Yan looked at Xiong Xin and smiled proudly, "Big brother, look at my Furious Snow Blades that are full of fifth layer true qi. It's really unstoppable. This gigolo definitely won't be able to withstand this move. He's going to die. "
Xiong Xin sighed helplessly, "Second brother, I already said that you're not his opponent. Why do you have to humiliate yourself?"
What? Xiong Yan looked back in disbelief, only to see that Zhao Yun was unscathed. Not even a strand of hair fell.
