Chapter 45: Holding the Three Cities
"The sacrifice and the mountain desert battle, the cold smoke and dust cast a spell to conjure up the soul rod to suck the soul essence blood, Shu Xie Zhenren and I wasted a lot of effort in order to stop him, but in the end, it was still no match for the power of the Phoenix Heavenly Divine Trick that he used after he incarnated into the Tianyu Phoenix, I and Shu Xie Zhenren were seriously injured, he returned to the Qilin Gate, and I naturally returned to Qinghai to gather spirits to heal. β
"It turned out to be cold smoke and dust. Nankong slowly lowered his eyes.
"You're looking for me, just for this?"
"I ......" Nan Kongqian was suddenly speechless, he paused, and still asked the water god: "You said before that Han Yanchen will attack the human world on a large scale, will provoke disputes between the two worlds of humans and demons, and then unify the entire Ling Fantasy Continent, is it true?" He didn't know why he asked such a thing, maybe in his heart, he still didn't believe that Han Yanchen would do such a thing.
"True or false, don't you already have an answer in your heart?" The water god didn't seem to bother to explain to him anymore, and after sighing, he said, "If Han Yanchen doesn't want to do this, why would he kidnap Elder Hua and lure the Qilin Sect down the mountain to rescue him, and later conjure up a dementor rod in the sacrificial and mountain to kill them?"
When the words fell, Nankong's heart trembled!
"As soon as Bai Ningxi died, he began to make up his mind to deal with the Northern Barbarians, he kidnapped Elder Hua and lured the Qilin Gate down the mountain, the purpose was to severely damage the Qilin Gate, so that the Qilin Gate would no longer have the energy to interfere and stop his plan, do you know that the power of the Phoenix Heavenly Divine Technique he released in the desert made Shu Xie Zhenren also seriously injured?"
"I know. Nankong bowed his head heavily.
"The Northern Barbarians, is the only area on the Lingling Continent that intersects with the three places of the Demon Realm, and now that the Demon Realm is no longer sealed, the Northern Barbarian Region is eyeing the Demon Realm region, and classifying it as the Demon Realm is like a matter of being within reach, and it is easy to come by, if you want to stop the Demon Realm and stop all this, the only way is to kill Han Yanchen, and the only person in this world who has the ability to kill him is probably only you. β
"Why?" Nankong couldn't help but raise his eyes, his heart was heavy as if countless boulders were piling up in his heart, making him breathless for a moment, "Is it because of my Dusheng Mirror? But I am not the only one in this world who has an artifact, why me? Why?" He looked up at the bottom of the Qinghai Sea in front of him, and asked blindly, the helplessness and heaviness in his tone were a little unbearable even when Hai Yao was listening.
And the water god seemed to feel helpless when she heard it, and a shallow but heavy sigh came, and she said, "Haven't you found out yet?"
"Found what?"
"When Hanyang City was in turmoil, why did your father ignore his previous suspicions and bring Lu Feiye, who was the target of everyone, back to Jiangling City, take care of him kindly, and not allow anyone to reveal his location, to this day, Lu Feiye is still staying in your Nanjia City Lord's Mansion?"
Nankong was stunned when he heard this.
The water god asked again: "Your father promised you a family affair before he died, he is the daughter of the city lord of the Northern Barbarian Zaikong City, Ji Wan'er, the beautiful name is the right family, but this Ling Fantasy Continent is shallow in the south and the people who are in charge of your southern family are not only Ji Guan'er, but there are countless daughters of the big families in Dongchen, Nanchu and Xizhumen, why did your father choose the daughter of the Northern Barbarian Ji family thousands of miles away from Dongchen?"
After listening to the words of the water god, Nankong Qian seemed to realize something, his expression began to become incredible, and the appearance of Lu Feiye and Ji Wan'er unconsciously appeared in his mind...... As if something was driving him, he slowly spoke word by wordβ
"Lu Feiye is the only descendant of the Lu family, and he is also a ...... The sole heir to the Hanyang Castle Order...... Wan'er ...... She is the only daughter of the Ji family...... She is also the only heir of the Northern Barbarian Empty City......"
After that, Hai Yao's eyes were startled, he turned his head to look at Nankong Qian, that is, Lu Ergongzi has the Hanyang City Order, and Miss Ji has the Sky City Order, and now the entire Hanyang City is under the protection of Jiangling City, and Miss Ji ...... Sooner or later, he will marry the lord of the city, and when the time comes, the lord of the city will be equal to owning Gangneung City, Hanyang City, and Jaekong City at the same time!
What Hai Yao can be aware of, Nankong Qian is naturally also aware of, "So...... All this ...... Is it all my father......?" he asked, his voice trembling a little...... He didn't understand, why did his father do this? If he saved Lu Feiye and brought him to Gangneung City to control Hanyang City, then why...... Dad wants to choose the empty city thousands of miles away?
He was puzzled, but the water god Ling Su said: "This is the life map that your father has planned for you, I think, from the time he decided to let you succeed to the position of city lord, he has already planned for you, let you firmly control Hanyang City, and then unify the peace of the entire Dongchen, and the Beiban Empty City should just be his back hand for you, but he didn't expect that things would become like this." β
"What do you mean?"
"You and Han Yanchen used to be inseparable good friends, but now, a world of people and demons has drawn a clear line between you, Han Yanchen is the ninth generation of demon emperors of the demon world, and the entire demon world is under his control, but the human world is divided, from the original land of the five continents to the current four regions, if the human world wants to compete with the demon world and the cold smoke and dust, someone must unify the Ling Fantasy Continent and become the master of the Ling Fantasy Continent, only in this way can he lead the entire human world to fight against the Demon Realm!
Originally, you were just a small city lord of Gangneung City, as long as you protect your own land and people, but now, Hanyang City and Zaikong City are already in your pocket, and three of the six cities in the human world are under your control, you say, is there a more suitable person than you in this world? Or are you willing to give up these three cities and hand over the heavy responsibility of unifying the human world to others?"
Nankong's shallow eyes trembled, and he was speechless for a while, and Hai Yao stood quietly beside him and looked at him, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "Hanyang City Order, not in Lu Feiye's hands, Hanyang City Order, in the hands of Han Yanchen, so speaking of which, Hanyang City has nothing to do with me, as for Zaikong City, I and Wan'er are not married yet, so Zaikong City is not mine." β
Before the words fell, the air suddenly became silent, Hai Yao noticed this silence and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and Nankong took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed from the corner of his eyes, and then raised his eyes and said to the water god: "The meaning of the water god, I know, don't worry, even if I am not the city lord of Zaikong City and Hanyang City, even if I don't have the city order of Zaikong City and Hanyang City, even if I do my best, I will protect the people of Hanyang City and Hanyang City." β
After that, Nan Kong Qian turned around and wanted to leave, and after he turned around, the road that had disappeared reappeared in front of him, Hai Yao was stunned for a moment when he saw this, seeing that Nan Kong Qian was going farther and farther, he hurriedly followed, and the two returned to the ground, and Qinghai also returned to his original state, but Nan Kong Qian had a lot of thoughts and mixed feelings, and he didn't have the energy to care about other things at all.
He blindly walked forward without saying a word, and Hai Yao followed him until he walked into the depths of the woods, he slowly stopped, and suddenly, his legs were weak, and he collapsed to the ground...... Hai Yao was startled when he saw the situation! Hurriedly stepped forward to help! "City Lord!"
"I'm fine. Nankong stretched out his hand to signal Hai Yao that he didn't have to help, and then he stood up by himself, he wanted to continue to walk forward, but for some reason, he didn't even have the courage to take a step forward, he stood in place in a daze, and all that echoed in his mind was what the water god had just said to him, Hai Yao saw him standing motionless, and he was also thinking in his heart, he should be thinking about what the water god said!
"Hai Yao...... You say, why did my dad do this?" Maybe it was really difficult for him to accept, Nankong couldn't help but ask Hai Yao, fortunately, when he was at a loss, there was still someone by his side.
"Is the city lord talking about, the matter between the second son of Lu and Miss Ji?"
"Hmm. β
"Didn't the water god say it? This is the life map planned by the old city lord for the city lord, and the old city lord didn't expect that things would become where they are today, right?"
"Really?" Nan Kongqian couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous! I didn't expect things to develop to this point? Is this the case? Father, didn't he really use the Dusheng mirror to see all this? If he didn't know that things had turned out like this? Then why did he choose to take Lu Feiye in, and why did he arrange for himself to marry Guan Er?
He only felt that all this was incredible, and he stood in place decadently, not knowing how to face all this!"Hai Yao, do you know? When I was very young, I always fantasized that one day I would be able to become the savior of the Fantasy Continent, I always dreamed and looked forward to it, I could go to the world's largest sect Qilin Gate to cultivate, and later, I really got my wish and entered the Qilin Gate and became what I once wanted to become, but later, a lot of things happened, I went to Han Yanfeng, and practiced the most powerful sword art in the world with the book Xie Zhenren, and after that, I returned to Jiangling City and returned to Nanjia. β
As he spoke, Nan Kongqian walked to a big tree and sat down, Hai Yao also came to his side, sat down, and Nan Kongqian continued to talk about his own affairs-
"Back to Nanjia, everything began to change, I found that the world is different from what I thought, I want to be the savior of the world, but I suddenly found that I can't even protect my father and my own home, I don't know if you remember, before the Annihilation Palace used the demon seed to control the people of the entire Jiangling City, at that time I really realized that for me, what is the most important thing, but when I understood all this, it was too late, and my father completely left me at that time. β
As he spoke, tears poured down one by one!
