“You’re quite capable, it’s a shame you met me.” Fang Yu smirked with a cold smile.
This old woman, regardless of her ethnicity, is exceptionally capable.
If there were no All-Seeing Eye, perhaps more complex methods would be needed to locate the remains of the old woman’s scattered body.
But with the Eye of Heaven, she could no longer hide.
Even if dispersed into the tiniest particles, nothing can escape the sight of the Dao’s eyes.
Then, simply light the pyre where she stands.
The old woman was utterly lifeless.
“If that’s truly a racial talent, then her race must be quite interesting. I wonder what it is.” Fang Yu thought to himself.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry and inform the Lord Mayor and the two protectors!”
“The Lord Mayor…”
The city lord’s mansion has been thrown into chaos.
Some, upon seeing the tragic deaths of the preceding cultivators and guards, were overcome with fear, their legs trembling uncontrollably as they desperately wished to flee.
Some thought of informing the City Lord and seeking his help.
Some even don’t know the specifics and are running around frantically and shouting like headless flies.
Fang Yu stood in place, looked ahead, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He slowly raised the jade divine sword in his hand.
All these present are celestial beings. He wouldn’t have any psychological burden even if he killed them all.
“Stop!”
Just then, a roar suddenly came from behind.
<<>>
Fan Yu frowned slightly and looked back.
The one who made the sound was none other than Zhong Huangdao, who had been locked in a chair by Fang Yu!
“I am Zhong Huangdao, the young master of the City Lord’s Mansion! All members of the City Lord’s Mansion listen!” Zhong Huangdao gritted his teeth and continued to transmit.
At this moment, the entire city lord’s mansion fell silent.
Their ears recognized the Emperor’s voice and tone.
…and can also issue orders! …
This made the surviving members of the City Lord’s Mansion feel a little more at ease in their hearts.
Fang Yu quietly looked at Zhong Huangdao.
He wanted to know what Zhong Huangdao was planning next.
Zhong Huangdao glanced at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with fear. He took a deep breath and transmitted his voice again: “Everything is normal in the City Lord’s Mansion. You all… return to your positions! Nothing happened just now, understand?!”
His tone was very firm and unwavering.
But when they heard this, every member of the city lord’s mansion was stunned.
Nothing happened, everything is normal?
The City Lord’s Mansion…was clearly attacked by the enemy, with a horrifying sword mark on the ground at its center!
And that swordsman… he just killed so many members of the City Lord’s Mansion!
But did the master allow them to pretend nothing had happened?
Could it be… that even the city lord wouldn’t need to be informed if something like this happened!?
This, this is why?!
Every member of the entire lord’s manor was bewildered and astonished.
“I reiterate, this is an order! Within the City Lord’s Mansion… everything is normal! No one is to report anything to the City Lord. Nothing has happened! This is an order!” Zhong Huang roared, his forehead bulging with veins.
By this point, his eyes were bloodshot.
Making this decision was quite difficult for him.
In that situation, if he remained silent, surely one of his subordinates would have spread the word, causing a stir throughout the entire city of Datong Ancient City and drawing back his father, the city lord.
This way, the besieging forces’ morale can be maximized.
…one could do this…First, everyone within the city lord’s mansion must die, including him.
As for his father and outside forces, they wouldn’t be able to act so quickly, there was simply no way to save their lives.
With Fang Yu’s strength, it would be as easy as crushing a few ants to kill them.
Therefore, Zhong Huang Dao had no other choice.
At this point, he could only bow his head and do everything in his power to survive!
On the other hand, Zhong Huang Dao harbored a terrifying thought in his heart.
He always felt that… Fang Yu’s strength was beyond his past cognition.
Perhaps, his father could return, and even with the many powerful families of Dà Tōng Ancient City joining forces… they might not be able to defeat Fang Yu. Instead, they could be annihilated by him!
If that were truly the case… then it would be a hopeless situation!
Therefore, after weighing all these thoughts, he decided… to no longer oppose Fang Yu!
This is bowing to Fang Yu, even it can be said that he knelt down in front of Fang Yu!
To be so lowly before a human is a great shame.
But Zhong Huang Dao had no other way.
He wants to live, and this is the best way.
In the face of life and death, what matters is nothing but face or dignity.
Sinan was seriously injured by Fang Yu and then rescued. The Sinan family will definitely react, and things may still become common knowledge throughout the city.
But the choice that Zhong Huangdao made was purely for Fang Yu to see.
He just wants Fang Yu to know that he doesn’t want to fight him, he just wants to survive!
The city lord’s manor was still deathly silent.
“Now, immediately repair the City Lord’s Mansion, and then… return to your respective posts. The noise made earlier will be explained as my training. I warn you for the last time, nothing happened today. Anyone who dares to report this, including the City Lord… will be killed!” Zhong Huang said in a cold voice.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, sizing up Zhong Huangdao, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
This guy is actually a lot smarter than he thought.
Compared to someone like Simanxin, who is mindless, he is worlds apart.
However, Fang Yu didn’t really care about the City Lord’s Mansion’s reaction.
At present, the top combat power within a large ancient city appears to pose no threat to him.
Whether the emperor chooses to endure or to rebel,
If the whole city wants to oppose Fang Yu, so be it.
Destruction is all that remains.
But since Zhonghuang Dao has now chosen to bow their head and endure, it is also a good thing for the other party, as it can avoid a lot of trouble.
……
The atmosphere within the Si Nan family had sunk to an unprecedented low.
In their family’s grand hall, all core members were present.
Only their mastermind, the head of the house, Si Nanqian, was absent.
The hall was deathly silent. Many core members were pale, their eyes blazing with both fury and disbelief.
They just received news that Si Nan Xin was seriously injured after going to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Luckily, Huíyán also followed along and saved Sī Nán’s heart.
Si Nan, enraged a thousand miles away, immediately set off to rescue Si Nanxin.
At the same time, send out a command to summon all core members of the Sīnan family!
This is unprecedented.
As the top family in Datong Ancient City, the Si Nan Family rarely summons all its members!
It goes without saying that the usually composed Sima Nan is incredibly angry!
“The head of the house is still treating the second miss, please wait patiently.”
A man with white hair and beard walked into the hall and addressed the many people inside.
“How is the second young lady doing? Is it serious?” asked one member.
“…quite severe, but not fatal.” The elder replied, “However, the second Miss’s emotions are rather unstable…”
