Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

Dawn lit up on the eastern horizon. Zhao Guangchen cleaned up his embarrassment and looked at the new pink flesh growing out of the wound. He couldn't help but think back to the disciples at Xuanxia Mountain.

They are not like regular disciples. Their costumes are different, and each person's cultivation level is difficult to detect. He has seen the ferocity and cruelty of the demon clan outside the city. Xuanxia Mountain only sent three disciples. It seems that Extremely confident.

Before his father helped him escape, he taught him how to unlock a restriction. The restriction contained the secret about the spiritual veins of Xiyu Village. Because of this, Mr. Zhao had evil thoughts and killed his own brothers.

It is not difficult for him to understand that his father treasures those spiritual veins so much, but with Qingcheng's size, can they really keep it? Just the discovery of a spiritual vein in Xiyu Village caused such a disaster. There were also countless demon clans outside the city. Even his second uncle had the idea of ​​monopoly...

Zhao Guangchen couldn't help but think of the beautiful, dangerous girl dressed in black, who wanted to kill him. If what happened in Xiyu Village was really his father's doing, what should he do?

Thinking of this, he frowned. He had been taught by his father since he was a child. Since he was the heir to the city lord, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the people of Qingcheng. His father tried his best to hide the news about these spiritual veins, but now, the injured person Still the people of Qingcheng...

Zhao Guangchen was caught in a conflict and tangle. He looked back at the little black dog that seemed to be asleep, and stood up gently. He had to do something useful and couldn't just sit around like a waste. With.

As soon as he took the first step, the little black dog behind him immediately jumped up and bit his calf with a squeal.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, please let go, I won't leave..."

Zhao Guangchen grimaced in pain. He didn't notice at all that a beautiful figure fell behind him. The little black dog was lifted up with a groan. Before he could see who was coming, his collar was also lifted up suddenly. Soaring into the sky, the figure was too fast to be seen clearly. All he could hear was the rustling of leaves and the startling of a few birds.

Before Zhao Guangchen could react, he heard a female voice coming from above:

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, do you also want to go back to Qingcheng? I will take you there."

Chu Yu led them one person and one dog, and rushed towards Qingcheng.

"Here, this fellow Taoist, didn't you get rid of the demon?" Zhao Guangchen was blown by the cold wind and couldn't open his eyes. He tried to raise his head and found that it was the female disciple from Xuanxia Mountain just now. He looked at Chu Yu's cold face with stains on it. There were dust and blood stains on it, and he seemed to be injured, but he was still moving very fast, which made him a little surprised.

"We just got rid of a tiger demon, and there is another one, but your Qingcheng is currently facing internal and external troubles. I need your help, as the real young city master."

Zhao Guangchen was shocked. One of the two demon kings was already dead?

Who is it that Xuanxia Mountain sent this time?

He cautiously wanted to ask Chu Yu about his identity, but Chu Yu immediately asked: "If you and your cousin Zhao Guangji faced off, who would be stronger?"

"He is no match for me." Zhao Guangchen was very confident about this.

"What does your second uncle want from you?"

Hearing Chu Yu's question and thinking of his father's instructions that he must keep it secret, Zhao Guangchen suddenly choked on what he wanted to say.

"It's about spiritual veins, right? We can guess it even if you don't tell us."

Chu Yu took a deep breath, stopped suddenly, threw him to the ground, frowned slightly, suppressing his anger: "I need you to stabilize Qingcheng, before we get the captured people and your unknown It’s not that when my father who is still alive is rescued, Qingcheng has the ability to accept them, especially after I deal with Xi Chang Zhao. Qingcheng needs someone to lead and there must be no internal chaos. The secret you keep is the trump card that can shake Xi Chang Zhao. As for the others , you know whether you have the ability or not.”

"Do you understand, Young City Lord of Qingcheng?" Chu Yu seemed to want to see through him, with anger in his eyes.

"We have encountered a lot of trouble since we arrived in Qingcheng yesterday afternoon. We have no time to breathe at all. Your second uncle colluded with the demon clan. He has a jade jewel that can unleash the strongest power of the golden eagle demon king. Since he Being able to hand over the people in the city to the demon clan means that he doesn't care about Qingcheng at all. I can't guarantee that he won't go crazy and kill innocent people indiscriminately, so even when I rescue you, I try not to alert the snake..."

"We planned to deal with the demon clan and then liquidate Mr. Zhao, but now the plan has changed. I need more trump cards. Not only do I have to be able to compete with the golden eagle demon king, I also have to rescue the people, and I also have to pray for my partners. Nothing will happen, and I need someone to ensure the safety of Qingcheng..."

Listening to the anxious tone of the person in front of him, explaining the current situation sentence by sentence, Zhao Guangchen's pupils trembled slightly. Looking at Chu Yu's angry face and her injured look, he suddenly interrupted and asked: "You want me to help intimidate me?" Second uncle?"

"Not only that, I also want his jade jewel."

Hearing this, Zhao Guangchen made up his mind, no longer hesitated, and responded: "I understand. I also ask fellow Taoist to send me back to the City Lord's Mansion. My father has left a trusted aide, and I need to contact them."

When Chu Yu heard what he said, his expression softened a little: "I plan to do this, but don't beat Zhao Guangji too badly later. At least don't irritate Xi Chang Zhao before I grab Yu Jue."

……

Qingcheng, the city lord's mansion.

"City Lord!" A sharp shout woke up Mr. Zhao from his sleep.

"What's the matter? Are you so surprised?" Mr. Zhao sat up from the couch angrily and scolded the visitor.

He didn't sleep well. The house was calm as usual last night, and no one reported anything. But even if he didn't sleep well, there was always a kind of calm before the storm.

"City Lord, there's nothing wrong. I just want to remind you that in two hours, it will be the time you and the little immortals agreed to eliminate the demons. Should we prepare for this?"

Zhao Xichang waved his hand to let him go down, stretched out his hand to press his eyebrows, and went through the plan he had thought of countless times in his mind.

He made a deal with the demon clan. As long as the demon king helped him win the position of city lord, he promised to give the demon king a thousand living people one after another, and then share % of the spiritual veins in Qingcheng with the demon clan.

But I didn’t expect that in the end, my eldest brother got along with him and asked for help from Xuanxia Mountain. The people sent by Xuanxia Mountain were not like ordinary disciples. They were better at guessing each other than others. None of the things he did could be leaked. , that female disciple brought a dog with her. She looked cool and cold on the surface, but in fact she started to observe and look at her as soon as she entered the city. She didn't seem to be someone who was easy to get along with.

If they were inner disciples, he would recognize them. I'm afraid they were the direct descendants of some elder. If he really killed them, it would be very troublesome in the future...

Xi Chang Zhao irritably took out the jade bracelet from his storage ring and stroked the runes on it, as if doing so would bring him a sense of security.

He can't control that much anymore. He can just wait for the opportunity to let the two demon kings get rid of the three disciples of Xuanxia Mountain. He can throw all the blame to the demon clan and let the demon clan bear the responsibility of Xuanxia Mountain on his behalf. of anger.

The demon clan is greedy and does not really want to help him. Not only does the golden eagle want a thousand living people, but it dares to open its mouth and take away % of his spiritual veins. When the time comes, this demon clan force will be destroyed by Xuanxia Mountain. He deserves to be killed off, the spiritual vein can only belong to him.

Ever since his elder brother said that there are spiritual veins around Qingcheng, he has imagined the infinite possibilities of the Zhao family in Qingcheng in the future. If there are enough spiritual veins, they will occupy the most practical cultivation resources at present. As long as they think about it, even if they only use spiritual stones to pile up In terms of cultivation, the Zhao family will one day be able to compete with those so-called aristocratic royal families. Even those tyrannical sects will eventually be able to touch it!

This great opportunity and incredible wealth will eventually come to their Zhao family!

But after his eldest brother came back from Xiyu Village, he seemed to be a different person. His attitude towards spiritual veins was extremely cautious and he would never mention it. If only his eldest brother could be more decisive, he would not have reached this point...

While still deep in thought, another guard came running outside in a panic.

"City Lord, underground...dungeon..."

Upon hearing that it was a dungeon, Mr. Zhao immediately became furious: "A bunch of trash, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on that kid???"

"No, young...the former young city lord is still in the dungeon. He...he woke up and seemed to be in a daze, so my subordinates quickly came to inform the city lord..." Seeing that Mr. Zhao was so angry, the guard was so frightened that he knelt down. I dare not say that they were all asleep. The moment he woke up, he was frightened. Fortunately, the one in the prison was still there, otherwise when the city lord got angry, he might as well find a place to bury himself.

Xi Chang Zhao hurried to the dungeon. Everyone along the way was so scared that no one dared to speak.

The early morning dew wetted the stone pavement. Mr. Zhao ignored the dew-laden sweet-scented osmanthus. The refreshing fragrance only made him upset, making him even more uneasy. He clenched the jade in his hand tightly.

Nothing will happen, everything will go according to plan. Now that the eldest nephew is awake, he just happened to ask about the restrictions on Xiyu Village. There is no ordinary spiritual vein there. When he discovered it back then, there were auspicious clouds in the sky and spiritual energy was overflowing. Why did his elder brother seal it when he said it should be sealed? Could it be that his elder brother had already taken it all to himself...

Rushing to the prison quickly, he saw his "eldest nephew" huddled in the corner, counting on his fingers.

"Chen'er?" He called softly, but "Zhao Guangchen" didn't respond at all. He raised his voice: "Chen'er, it's me, the second uncle."

Hearing the word "Second Uncle", "Zhao Guangchen" stopped what he was doing.

Seeing the reaction, Xi Chang Zhao continued to use a tone that seemed like negotiation, but said in a tone that could not be refused: "Eldest nephew, if you tell me how to unblock the ban in Xiyu Village, I can tell the demon clan to spare your parents' lives. After all, we are relatives..."

Unexpectedly, "Zhao Guangchen" went crazy when he heard this. He rushed up and hit the dungeon barrier like a madman, staring at Mr. Zhao with his scarlet eyes and shouting: "Kill you, I will definitely kill you!!" "

Zhao Guangchen's substitute vented the anger he had suppressed for a long time.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Zhao Xi wanted to order people to continue to torture his eldest nephew. Suddenly someone came from outside and announced:

"City Lord, Master Ji is missing!"

"What?" Zhao Xi was so angry that he rushed forward and kicked the guard who was delivering the message away. The guard lay motionless on the ground.

Before Mr. Zhao could come to his senses, someone outside called again: "City Lord, the people from Xuanxia Mountain are missing!"

This time, before he could get angry again, bad news came one after another, and two people came to deliver it one after another. One of them spoke first:

"City Lord, someone in the house has rebelled, and there's already a fight outside!"

Xi Chang Zhao punched so hard that the dungeon shook, and veins appeared on his forehead. His anger was self-evident, and he asked, "What other news is there?"

The other man kowtowed risking his life and said as if he was risking his life: "City Lord, Zhao Guangchen has held Master Ji hostage and is forcing you to see him outside, otherwise he will kill our young master!"

"Trash, you bunch of trash!" Mr. Zhao turned his head and looked at the substitute in the prison. He understood something instantly. The guards around him were so frightened that they all knelt down.

Zhao Xichang just lifted the barrier, and the substitute immediately broke out of the barrier and attacked him with all his strength.

But what he didn't expect was that the full power of the substitute was stronger than Zhao Guangchen's own power. It revealed a power that did not belong to him. Zhao Xichang immediately used his profound energy to smash the substitute into pieces and looked at the scattered and broken pieces. Talisman, suddenly realized, was extremely angry but smiled.

"Xuanxia Mountain... you are very good, very good, hahaha, you all have to die..." He was almost crazy, and squeezed Yujue tightly, "I will kill you, and everyone who sees it will die. This It was you who forced me..."

Everyone around you is under an extremely low pressure, fearing that if you say one more word, you will die.

Zhao Xichang rushed out of the dungeon, and the jade jue glowed faintly with golden light. The city lord's mansion had long been in chaos and was divided into two camps. On one side were the old city lord's old men, and on the other were his cronies.

He absorbed the power of Yu Jue and was surrounded by golden light. Some guards took the opportunity to attack him, but in the end, both their weapons and people were shattered by the golden mysterious energy surrounding him.

Just when Mr. Zhao was about to take action to quell the civil unrest, a very familiar voice interrupted him.

"father!"

This voice has been calling him for many years, from childish to young.

But Xi Chang Zhao knew that he could not hesitate. The metallic mysterious energy was constantly surrounding him. He just looked in the direction where his son was still. A knife was placed on his son's neck, with eyes filled with eager hope that his father could save him.

Zhao Guangchen saw that the second uncle was unmoved, he brought the knife closer and threatened Zhao Guangji in a low voice: "Keep shouting!"

Zhao Guangji's face was full of desire for survival, and he shouted: "Dad, help me! Brother said that as long as you put away Yujue's power and talk to him, he will let me go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Guangchen immediately looked at his second uncle's reaction, hoping to be touched.

But no, the metallic profound energy still surrounded him, and the situation was still not ideal.

Chu Yu said that as long as she could make Xi Chang Zhao hesitate for a moment, she would be sure to succeed without harming the people.

Looking at his father's reaction, Zhao Guangji's heart slowly sank. Was his father going to give up on him?

He is unwilling to give in. Is the relationship between father and son all these years an illusion? The eldest brother just talked to him a lot, and he still has many things to ask.

"Dad, did you harm the uncle's family and let them be captured by the demon clan?"

"What about those missing people? Were you also responsible for that?"

This question caused both sides of the melee to stop, and the scene became quiet for an instant.

"Dad, tell me!"

Zhao Guangji didn't know either. When asked, his face was filled with tears.

How well he was protected, how much he wanted to continue to be his young master of the Zhao family, his parents would respond to his requests, and he could live his whole life freely. His father had never let him suffer at all. For such a sinful thing, his father would also Never let him participate in it at all, not even letting him know.

Xi Chang Zhao seemed to calm down a little after hearing this, but Yujue's power still surrounded him. He took a final look at his son, closed his eyes in pain, stretched out his hand to lift Yujue, and pointed it in the direction of his son and Zhao Guangchen.

He had betrayed the love of flesh and blood a long time ago. Is he worthy of talking about these words now?

"Child, if you want to hate me, then you can hate me. I can't look back..."

If you give up, give up. He has spiritual veins and can start a new life. He will eventually rely on spiritual veins to learn immortality. He can make the Zhao family famous in Jiuzhou. As long as he solves everything in front of him and everyone he sees. !

Zhao Guangchen's heart sank and he secretly thought that something was wrong. His back was soaked with sweat. He was still thinking about how to deal with it. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guangji in front of him suddenly spoke:

"Even if you kill your closest relatives and kill each other, you still have to achieve your goal. Dad, is this what you want? Ji'er understands..." Zhao Guangji looked at his father sadly, with tears in his eyes, and forced a smile: "They all It is said that no one knows a son better than his father, but we are sons who don’t know the father, and the father doesn’t know the son.”

"Father," Zhao Guangji changed his title: "How can you be sure that Ji'er will not support you?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little quiet.

No one could have imagined that Zhao Guangji would come here, and the knife would make a bloody mark on his neck. Zhao Guangji remained unmoved. Even if the elder brother behind him threatened him to shut up, he would always look at his father.

"I know that I am not that good and have no talent for practicing, but I have made up my mind since I was a child to give you and my mother the best things when I grow up. No matter what you want, I will definitely get it for you, but I I have mediocre qualifications and poor academic skills. I can’t compare to my elder brother in anything. I have let you down many times..."

"I also hope you can get what you want. If I can do something for you, I won't refuse..."

"Dad, do it. You gave me my life. If I help you, please consider me as a filial piety!"

When Zhao Guangji shouted this, his voice echoed over and over again, but after a while, silence returned.

"Dad, do it!"

Seeing that his father didn't respond, Zhao Guangji exerted all his strength and couldn't help but hit the knife edge. Zhao Guangchen immediately took the knife away and restrained him again. Zhao Guangji was obviously a threat to his father and could not die.

"Ji'er, child..." Xi Changzhao burst into tears when he saw this. He couldn't help but his eyes were full of sorrow, and the light surrounding him became dim.

He would rather that he was so bad that he voluntarily gave up his own son, than that his son voluntarily sacrificed his life and begged him to take action.

But when he looked up again, Mr. Zhao's expression was almost ferocious. He seemed to have made up his mind and said to his son: "Ji'er, dad will definitely do it for you -"

The word "revenge" was still on his lips before he could say it, and the hand holding Yujue had lost consciousness.

Yujue's warm touch seemed to be still in his hand. He didn't even have time to feel pain before he saw his arm being cut off by a flash of white light. The cut was so smooth that he had no time to pay attention to Yujue who was taken away in that moment.

What followed was an afterthought of severe pain.

"Ah...ahhhhhhhh..." Mr. Zhao wailed in pain as he covered his severed hand. Without Yujue, he fell from the air like a broken leaf in the wind.

"Dad!" Zhao Guangji shouted worriedly, but to no avail, the situation was now clear.

Everyone easily controlled the seriously injured Xi Chang Zhao and his cronies. Chu Yu raised his sword, and Zhao Guangji hurriedly rushed over to block the front, kowtowing and begging for mercy:

"Miss Chu, I know that my father's sins are serious, but you sect disciples pay attention to doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Please can you let him live. I am willing to atone for my father's sins."

"I beg you, I am willing to pay for my father's sins, and please spare his life..."

"...I won't kill him, I will destroy his cultivation." Chu Yu said, raising his sword to gather strength, and hit Xi Chang Zhao's Dantian. Xi Chang Zhao was already unconscious, and after his cultivation was destroyed, he vomited a mouthful of blood. , and then fell into coma.

Zhao Guangji looked at his father's current fate, feeling extremely sad in his heart. He was about to kowtow to thank Chu Yu for not killing him, but Chu Yu spoke again:

"Don't thank me," Chu Yu squatted down, his cold eyes passed over the father and son in front of him, and finally stopped on Zhao Guangji, and said: "Your father's life and death should not be decided by me, your uncle, them, and many people in Qingcheng They are all trapped in the hands of the demon clan, aren’t they?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangji's face turned pale instantly.

"I'll leave the rest to you, young city lord." Chu Yu turned around and stood up, greeted Zhao Guangchen, put Mo Xuan into bed, and immediately left the city.

A figure quickly crossed the dense forest outside the city. It was Chu Yu who was on his way. At this time, she suddenly heard an extremely penetrating, shrill and loud howl from the distance. Her heart tightened and she used her fastest speed. Speeding in that direction.
