In the ancient city of Nanyan, Luo Tong was standing on the city wall with a serious face. Not long ago, he received a message from Wu Gang that Yang Qi had been found, which made him very excited. However, the message was a call for help from Wu Gang and the other two. Yang Qi's strength was much stronger than the intelligence said. Luo Tong estimated that even if he took action himself, he would not be able to stop Yang Qi.
Then he asked Wu Gang and the other two again, but there was no news. It was obvious that Wu Gang and the other two had died in the battle!
“It only took a few breaths from Wu Gang sending a message for help to the two captains sending a message for help. To be able to kill three martial masters in such a short time, his strength is probably not much weaker than mine.” Luo Tong looked in the direction of Dongyang Valley. When he learned that Yang Qi was in Dongyang Valley, he had sent practitioners to visit Dongyang Valley.
Although Yang Qi's strength was beyond expectations, there was still some good news. At least based on Wu Gang's call for help, he already knew that Yang Qi was alone and had no companions.
“This Wu Gang probably wanted to kill Yang Qi alone, otherwise, how could the three Martial Lords escape separately?” Luo Tong sneered in his heart. With his wisdom, he quickly guessed that the death of Wu Gang and the other two was mostly because they wanted to kill Yang Qi and monopolize the reward promised by Gu Xingnan, but they didn’t expect to lose their own lives in the end.
Wu Gang is his confidant, but when faced with an opportunity, he chooses the short-term without hesitation. Fortunately, Yang Qi is strong, otherwise if Wu Gang really kills Yang Qi, he will get nothing.
"Lu Feng is a mid-stage four-star Martial Lord. With him taking action, Yang Qi will not be able to escape this time." A gleam of light flashed in Luo Tong's eyes. With his strength combined with Lu Feng, he could probably kill a four-star Martial Lord, let alone Yang Qi.
Although the reward he received would be reduced because of Lu Feng's intervention, he knew himself well and knew that if he relied on himself, he might get nothing. Therefore, even if some of the reward was shared, he would be able to accept it.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Luo Tong's expression changed, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Senior Brother Lu Feng is really resolute and decisive. He actually went directly to Dongyang Valley."
Luo Tong smiled bitterly. He vaguely understood Lu Feng's thoughts. In Lu Feng's view, dealing with a three-star martial arts master-level cultivator was not a difficult task at all.
Wow~
Luo Tong activated his flying martial arts, leaped into the air, turned into a stream of light, and headed towards the Dongyang Valley.
…
Feng family, meeting hall.
"Master, our people just discovered that Luo Tong suddenly went towards Dongyang Valley." A middle-aged man in a blue-gray gown quickly came to the meeting hall and said to Feng Qingyang who was sitting at the top.
"Why is Luo Tong going to Dongyang Valley?" Feng Qingyang raised his eyebrows.
Dongyang Valley is just a place where the practicing forces in Nanyan Ancient City usually train their younger generations. Even if a martial arts practitioner enters it, there will not be too much danger, let alone a martial arts master.
"Master, before Luo Tong left, Wu Gang also took people away, and the city guards seemed to be looking for someone." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"What on earth does this Luo Tong want to do?"
Feng Qingyang's face darkened. He was a little confused about the actions of the city guards and Luo Tong.
"Master, Luo Tong has always been at odds with our Feng family. Do you think he will secretly fund that mysterious person?" An old man suddenly spoke in the hall.
"That's unlikely..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed, and one burly man said in disbelief.
"Given Luo Tong's personality, this possibility may exist." Feng Qingyang smiled coldly.
Over the years that Luo Tong has served as the city lord, their Feng family has had many conflicts with the city lord's mansion and the city guards. This time, they ordered a search of the city without Luo Tong's consent, but Luo Tong did not react at all. This is not Luo Tong's character.
"Master, what should we do then?" The old man who spoke earlier looked up at Feng Qingyang.
After all, Luo Tong represents the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it is not easy for them to break off relations with Luo Tong. But this time, the mysterious man must die. The other party has a treasure that can suppress their bloodline. Once Luo Tong gets this thing, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Dongyang Valley!"
Feng Qingyang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said in a deep voice, "Immediately mobilize four six-star martial masters to go to Dongyang Valley. If you find the mysterious man, kill him without mercy. If you find that Luo Tong is colluding with the mysterious man..."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at Feng Qingyang, waiting for his decision.
“That mysterious man had the combat power of a six-star martial master. City Lord Luo died in the attempt to capture the mysterious man. He should be regarded as a role model for our Nanyan Ancient City.” Feng Qingyang said coldly, with a faint murderous intent emanating from his body.
"yes!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression was stern. Although their Feng family submitted to the Great Zhou imperial family, they were facing the Wu Zhou Academy, not Luo Tong. As a bloodline cultivation family with a longer inheritance history than the Great Zhou Empire, the Feng family feared the Great Zhou Empire more than respected it!
If the Feng family members were really asked to make a choice, they would choose the family without hesitation!
…
Yang Qi was resting on a low hill in the southern part of Dongyang Mountains. After killing Wu Gang and the other two, he did not leave Dongyang Valley immediately.
"You haven't woken up yet?"
Through the eight-winged golden cicada, Yang Qi discovered that Feng Yan was still recovering from her injuries, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
"After such a long time, Gu Xingnan should have known that I appeared here." Yang Qi frowned slightly. Feng Yan was now recovering from her injuries, so he could neither get too close nor too far away.
As a result, he could only stay in the Dongyang Valley area, which was extremely dangerous. Once Gu Xingnan sent strong men to kill him, he would not be able to stop them. The only hope was that Feng Yan would recover as soon as possible. By then, whether he escaped or evacuated, it would be better than staying in Dongyang Valley.
"not good!"
Suddenly, a feeling of extreme danger surged in Yang Qi's heart. His figure flashed suddenly, and then a huge blade light fell on the hill where he was originally.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a hill thousands of feet high suddenly exploded and was razed to the ground by the terrifying sword light.
“Such power, a mid-level martial arts master.” Looking at the hill destroyed by a single sword strike, Yang Qi’s eyes fixed.
Even if he used all his strength, he couldn't destroy the entire hill so easily. The person who could do all this must be a mid-level martial arts master!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
At the same time, two rapid sounds of breaking through the air were heard in mid-air, and then two figures appeared in front of Yang Qi.
"Three-star Martial Lord, four-star Martial Lord!"
Yang Qi's pupils shrank suddenly. This time, not only a mid-level martial master came to kill him, but also a three-star martial master! With his current strength, any one of them is not his opponent. Now there are two powerful enemies.
"Trouble!" Yang Qi's face sank. The situation was worse than he thought. Gu Xingnan even sent out a mid-level martial arts master to kill him! (To be continued)
