The whole process sounds slow, but it is actually extremely fast.
From the moment the void cracked to the moment the woman in palace dress took Qian Duoduo away, it took less than half a cup of tea. And within this short period of time, the entire Guiyuan City underwent a tremendous change.
The City Lord's Mansion, which was originally full of joy, suddenly became quiet and silent, and the cultivators from all directions looked at the Lord of Guiyuan City in a daze.
His face was gloomy, and he was once again wrapped in chaos.
Swish, swish, swish!
A gust of wind swept past him, and suddenly several old men with stern brows appeared. They looked at Feng Qingyang on the ground and the crowd outside, with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
This murderous intent is like substance, and each of them is a powerful being who has reached the half-step golden elixir stage. If they join forces, I am afraid that no one present will be able to escape.
The crowd retreated one after another, with alert looks on their faces. If today's events were to be known, who knows how big a sensation it would cause.
The void cracked and people came from the upper realm. These were only things that existed in legends, but they were actually happening before their eyes. For people like them who knew very little, the shock in their hearts could be imagined.
Several old men joined forces and released a huge murderous intent. They were about to kill the people around them, but the silent Lord of Guiyuan City raised his hand to stop them.
“Let them go…” After saying that, Feng Qingyang who was on the ground disappeared with a whoosh.
In the hall, with the departure of the city lord, the whole place was suddenly filled with murderous intent.
"Even if I let you go, you'll have to pay a price..."
The person who spoke was none other than the Purple Demon Eye who originally wanted to kill Feng Qingyang.
As he spoke, his brows suddenly split open, and a purple light burst out. Suddenly, the light enveloped everyone in the hall...
Let’s talk about the Lord of Guiyuan City and Feng Qingyang.
At this moment, the two of them were standing in a secret room. This secret room was the place where the Lord of Guiyuan City had negotiated with them that day.
The space is not big, but it is full of spiritual energy.
From beginning to end, Feng Qingyang did not say a word. His eyes were red and the blood in his heart was raging to the extreme. He did not speak because he knew what he would face once he opened his mouth.
The cold eyes of the woman in palace dress and the so-called legitimate son of the Wang family beside him, those eyes, he will never forget them. Looking at them, it was as if he was looking at pigs and dogs.
Qian Duoduo's helplessness and the Guiyuan City Lord's show of weakness made his whole heart tremble.
"Why… "
He stood aside, closing his eyes, hiding the blood deep inside his body. If you looked closely, you would find that his body was trembling slightly.
Compared to the injuries he suffered physically, his heart was hurt even more severely, and was covered in blood.
It seems that every woman who has had any interactions with him has no good ending, Zhu Xuezhu is like this, Jiuhuang is like this, and Qian Duoduo is still like this.
If he was strong, he would not have watched Zhu Xuezhu fall into his arms. If he was strong, he would not have watched Qian Duoduo being forcibly taken away by the woman in palace dress.
What he could not forget even more was those eyes, cold and contemptuous, without any emotion, as if he was the lowest species.
As for Qian Duoduo, she was so helpless that she couldn't even say a word. She could only look at him lovingly, and it seemed as if all this had been predetermined.
And he—was kept in the dark.
How great it would be if those three tests were just to open the secret land. How great it would be if there was no city lord looking for a wife? Why
He clearly remembered what the lady in palace dress said: This is the person you chose? A zombie
Every word was heart-wrenching, and all of this seemed to be expected, but he knew nothing.
"well… "
Hearing this, the Lord of Guiyuan City sighed deeply, and the chaotic aura that enveloped him suddenly disappeared, revealing the hideous face within.
But even so, that face seemed to have lost its dominance in an instant, and gained a hint of bitterness, as if it had aged countless years in an instant.
Turning around and looking at Feng Qingyang standing in the corner, he sighed slightly in his heart. Now that the result has come out, he must stick to it to the end, because he knows that his choice will not be wrong, although - although Feng Qingyang is just an innocent victim.
So he told Feng Qingyang the cause and source of the matter without holding back at all.
After listening to his story, Feng Qingyang's already angry heart suddenly became even more furious. If he hadn't forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, he would have gone crazy long ago.
It turns out that the so-called city lord's marriage proposal was just a cover, a cover for the city lord to choose chess pieces, and these chess pieces were his daughter and Feng Qingyang.
If you win, you will live, and even ascend to the sky in one step and become the overlord of that world. If you lose, you will die, with no place for burial and your soul will be destroyed.
It was not until now that Feng Qingyang understood why the Lord of Guiyuan City was able to rise from the grassroots and then single-handedly build this paradise for independent cultivators, a Guiyuan City that could compete with the ten major righteous sects.
"Do you think it's worth it? You're putting yourself and your own flesh and blood at risk!
Feng Qingyang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and murderous intent in his heart. He opened his eyes and looked at the Lord of Guiyuan City. At this moment, there was no bloodshot in his eyes and he seemed to have regained his clarity.
"If you choose, there is no such thing as worth or not worth it!"
The Lord of Guiyuan City answered without hesitation. At this moment, his aura changed again. Without the previous vicissitudes and dripping, he instead exuded a sense of heroism and domineering.
"If it succeeds... you and I will become the overlords of one side, the overlord of that world. Do you know what that means? He looked at Feng Qingyang with burning eyes, a madness flashed in his eyes, as if even taking his daughter would be a very worthwhile thing.
"You're crazy!" Seeing his crazy look, Feng Qingyang suddenly growled. At this moment, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
His aura rose, and he suddenly clenched his fist and punched the Lord of Guiyuan City who was standing beside him.
And he did not dodge or evade, as if he just let Feng Qingyang hit him.
When the punch was thrown, the whole secret room suddenly burst into a roar, but even so, the entire secret room did not change at all, as if Feng Qingyang's punch was insignificant here.
"Why, why would you do that?"
He couldn't bear it any longer and punched the Lord of Guiyuan City fiercely. Just as his fist was about to touch his face, at that moment, a gentle force suddenly emerged and tightly wrapped Feng Qingyang's fist.
The Lord of Guiyuan City said indifferently: "In order to dominate, to rule one side, and to explore higher pursuits."
