"Haha, do you think the sect your daughter relies on will go head-to-head with another eight-star sect for you, the dying ghosts and declining forces?" Lu Xuanxin said with a sneer, her voice echoing in the empty field, with a mockery that could not be ignored. Her eyes flashed with confidence, as if she had foreseen the future victory.
When Wei Zhenran heard this, he was stunned. His face turned pale instantly, and his eyes were full of fear. Wei Zhanguo was also shocked. He stared at Lu Xuanxin with wide eyes in disbelief. The two looked at each other with despair in their eyes. They knew that they were really screwed this time.
The crowd surrounding Beikang City gasped and talked about it. They watched the changes in the field and were shocked. At first, everyone thought that this group of people were genius disciples from a certain sect, but they didn't expect that they were actually backed by an eight-star sect. This kind of identity was simply an astronomical figure for them.
"Strange! It turns out that they have been so calm all this time because they have the support of the Eight-Star Sect." Someone whispered in disbelief. They looked at Lu Xuanxin and others with envy and jealousy in their eyes. If they also had such a background, would they still have to suffer here?
"Wei Zhenran, a great hero, ended up falling into the hands of a few young people." Another person sighed. His tone was full of emotion and regret. Wei Zhenran was a well-known figure in Beikang City, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this today.
"Yes, it's pitiful and sad that the family is broken and the people are dead." Someone else sighed. They looked at Wei Zhenran's body with sympathy and pity in their hearts. But more people were hiding fear in their hearts. They knew that what happened today was also a warning to them.
Fortunately, the people guarding the city today were the people from the City Lord's Mansion, not their families, otherwise who knows how things would turn out. They were secretly glad in their hearts, and at the same time they were full of sympathy and pity for the people from the City Lord's Mansion. After all, no one wanted to be involved in such a thing.
In fact, the responsibility of defending the city was not the sole responsibility of the City Lord's Mansion, but was shared by all the major families in the city. Therefore, the city gate tax was collected by the City Lord's Mansion and the first-class families in the city in turn. And today, it happened to be the turn of the people from the City Lord's Mansion to be on duty. They were secretly glad in their hearts, and at the same time they were full of sympathy for the people from the City Lord's Mansion.
"You are talking nonsense! Yes, it must be nonsense! How could you be from the Eight Star Sect?" Wei Zhanguo muttered to himself, obviously unable to accept this fact. There was a crazy light flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to find a trace of evidence to refute it. However, he knew that this was impossible.
After all, this place is remote and desolate, with little money to spend. Few talented disciples from the sect come here, let alone the proud disciples from the eight-star sect. Those proud disciples are all arrogant and would never look down on such a desolate place, fearing that it would damage their status. It is precisely because of this idea that they dare to be so unscrupulous. But now, they find that they are wrong. So wrong!
"Haha, you will soon know whether we are lying or not." Ying sneered. There was an unquestionable confidence in her voice, as if she had foreseen the future victory. There was a cold light in her eyes, as if she was ready for battle.
"You, do you want to kill us all?" Wei Zhanguo's fighting spirit had been replaced by fear. Hearing the words "eight-star sect", he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. There was a tremor in his voice, and he had obviously lost his usual composure.
In fact, he had already believed it in his heart. Look at these young people, they are already at the level of Spiritual Emperor at such a young age, and setting up formations to kill enemies is like child's play. This is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. He knew that he really met a tough guy this time.
"If we lose, what will you do?" Lu Xuanxin asked calmly. Her voice was filled with an unquestionable majesty, as if she had already taken control of the overall situation. Her eyes were shining with wisdom, as if she had seen through Wei Zhanguo's mind.
"Of course we have to root them out!" Wei Zhenran roared. There was a hint of madness and despair in his voice, as if he had lost his mind. There was a fierce light flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to cut Lu Xuanxin and others into pieces. However, before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened and his voice stopped abruptly.
His body was split in half from the middle and fell to the sides. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground red. There was still an expression of fear and unwillingness on his face, as if he couldn't believe that his end would be like this.
Zi Huang quickly hugged Lu Xuanxin and covered her eyes with his hands. He didn't want Lu Xuanxin to see such a bloody scene, fearing that she would be frightened. Yun Yan'er also covered her ears and turned away. Ying and Old Lady Li looked at each other and turned away awkwardly. Although they had experienced many battles, this was the first time they had seen such a tragic scene.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Lu Xuanxin, then at Zihuang, with complex emotions flashing in his dark eyes. He knew that Zihuang's feelings for Lu Xuanxin had gone beyond the relationship between a master and a disciple, but he could not accept this fact. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles, and he did not know how to face this reality.
"Ah!" Wei Zhanguo stepped back in fear, staring at Wei Zhenran's body that was cut in half, unable to speak for a long time. This old man, who was over 500 years old, was as pale as paper at this moment, and his lips were trembling constantly. When he looked at Wei Zhenran's body, his eyes were scattered and lifeless, as if he had lost all hope and support.
Zi Huang's finger split Wei Zhenran's body in half, evenly split from head to toe. The scene was so tragic that it was unbearable to watch. This was why Zi Huang hurriedly covered Lu Xuanxin's eyes, and the others also turned away.
Nangong Yi saw this and quickly pulled Yun Yan'er aside. He didn't want Yun Yan'er to see such a bloody scene, fearing that she would be frightened. Although Yun Yan'er was a little scared, she couldn't help but look back. When she saw Wei Zhenran's body, her heart was filled with shock and fear. She had never seen such a tragic scene before, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Don't kill me! This has nothing to do with me! It was all his doing! It was his idea! It has nothing to do with me!" Wei Zhanguo was so scared that his soul flew out of his body. As the old saying goes, when people get old, they are afraid of death. This is absolutely true. At this moment, he has completely lost his former majesty and dignity, and only a frightened old man remains.
Zi Huang had no intention of killing this cowardly old man. If Wei Zhenran had not insulted his daughter in person, he would not have done such a cruel thing. Even if Wei Zhenran had become a ghost, he would definitely regret having said too much. He knew that he had offended someone he shouldn't have, but it was too late to undo it.
Zi Huang hugged Lu Xuanxin and walked into the house. The atmosphere was so heavy that it was hard to breathe. Old Lady Li, Yun Yan'er and others felt a chill in their bones. They knew that what happened today was a huge shock and challenge for them. They needed time to digest this fact and be prepared for future challenges.
Gui Jianxiao and the others wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but Lin Xiaofeng waved them away. He said calmly, "Girls shouldn't watch such bloody scenes." Although it seemed like he was talking to everyone, Gui Jianxiao felt that his eyes were specifically looking at her. She felt a little unhappy, but she also knew that Lin Xiaofeng was doing it for everyone's good.
Yun Yan'er broke free from Nangong Yi's hand and walked to Gui Jianxiao, holding her hand and saying, "This scene is too cruel. You will have nightmares if you watch it at night." There was a trace of trembling and worry in her voice, and she was obviously frightened by the scene just now. Gui Jianxiao looked at her concerned eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. She knew that in this strange place, she still had friends to rely on.
Although she was pulled away by Yun Yan'er, Gui Jianxiao couldn't help but look back at Lin Xiaofeng. When she met his deep and unfathomable eyes, she suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in her heart: Maybe in someone's heart, she is also special? This thought made her feel inexplicably happy and expectant. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she couldn't help wanting to explore this possibility.
Lin Xiaofeng ordered the boys to take off the elders' space rings, and then asked Wei Zhanguo to send people to clean up the scene. He knew that although today's matter was over, there was still a lot of follow-up work to be done. He needed to make sure everything was handled properly and no clues were left behind.
At this time, the only person who could be considered a strong man in the City Lord's Mansion was Wei Zhanguo. The other young masters, young ladies, servants, and guards had already run away. Especially those young masters and young ladies, who still had illusions about Lu Xuanxin and the others during the day, but now they could only flee in panic. They knew that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and now they could only try their best to protect themselves.
These young men and women are handsome and easy to attract attention. Their strength makes people even more afraid. They know that in this world where the strong are respected, strength is the most important. So they have been working hard to improve their strength, hoping to gain a foothold in this world.
Although there was only the frightened Wei Zhan Guo left in the City Lord's Mansion, the families watching could have taken down the City Lord's Mansion with just a little effort. However, these families did not take any action. Firstly, they were afraid of the "devils" in the City Lord's Mansion, and secondly, they were worried about Wei Zhiqian.
They knew Wei Zhiqian's character. If the City Lord's Mansion was really in trouble, she would definitely not sit idly by. They knew that Wei Zhiqian's strength and background were not something they could afford to provoke. So they could only choose to wait and see how things would develop next.
Wei Zhanguo sat in the center of the hall, his head lowered, his silver hair was particularly dazzling in the dim light, as if he was thinking about something extremely heavy. His figure seemed particularly lonely in the empty hall, like an isolated island, standing firm in the endless storm. Under the hall, a group of young boys and girls stood trembling, their breathing was so light that it was almost inaudible, and the whole hall was filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere, as if even the air had solidified.
After a while, a young girl finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and started sobbing, saying in a broken voice: "Grandfather, what should we do in the future?" Her voice was as weak as the last moan of a straw being bent, and the other young men and women also held back their tears and echoed her. It seemed that their world had collapsed, and all their hopes were pinned on this old man.
Wei Zhanguo slowly raised his head, his eyes were red and his expression was complicated and changeable. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "Liu Xiao, you should quickly arrange for these young masters and young ladies to escape overnight, hide their identities, and preserve the bloodline of the Wei family." His voice sounded extremely tired, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant and was approaching the end of his life, like the last sigh of a person who was about to die.
Liu Xiao, a middle-aged, shrewd and capable man, was the second steward of the Wei Mansion. The head steward had unfortunately died in the previous incident. His eyes flickered, and he quickly agreed, then bowed his head and left the hall. Although the young masters and young ladies were unwilling, they also knew that the City Lord's Mansion was in danger. Even if no one was chasing them, the big families in the city would not let them go.
"Grandfather, what are you going to do?" The crying girl asked again with a trembling voice. Wei Zhanguo waved his hands, no longer having the strength to say anything more. His eyes passed through the empty hall, as if penetrating the dust of time and returning to the once glorious Wei family.
Some people said that the Wei family still had hope in Wei Zhiqian, so why should they be so desperate? But Wei Zhanguo knew that although the elders of the Eight Star Sect had come to stay at the mansion and praised Zhiqian's talent and had the intention of accepting her as a disciple, there was no news after that. He didn't know what they were up to. Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion and Wei Zhiqian herself had tacitly accepted that she was already an elder's disciple, and used this as a gimmick to create momentum, and no one had ever refuted it.
