Just when Xihe broke through, somewhere in Heavenly Demon City there was a different scene.

In the main hall, a huge man knelt down in front of a young man of the demon clan, and the person who knelt down was the fat shopkeeper of the pawnshop who had been ransacked by Xihe before, and the young man of the demon clan in front of him was the master he said - Zhao Lingyun, the third son of the city lord of the Heavenly Demon City.

This Zhao Lingyun is the third son of the city lord of the Heavenly Demon City and his youngest son, he has been very fond of him since he was a child, his eldest brother and second brother are stationed at the border of the demon world and each of them is distinguished in battle, this city lord of the Heavenly Demon City is unwilling to let his youngest son leave his side, so he has always let him stay in the Heavenly Demon City to help him take care of the affairs of the city.

Although Zhao Lingyun is the son of the city lord, and he is the youngest and most favored son of the city lord, he is not a gentleman young master as everyone remembers, but a good person who is praised by everyone, shrewd and capable, and close to the people.

Zhao Lingyun is handsome, with two sword eyebrows obliquely inserted into the clouds, his eyes are deep and bright, and his skin is as white as snow, I am afraid that a woman will be jealous when she sees it.

At this time, Zhao Lingyun was frowning, his fists in his sleeves were clenched, and the sound of the squeaking joints could be heard clearly.

After waiting for a long time, the fat shopkeeper finally waited for another wave of demon soldiers sent to the exit of the tunnel, but the news they brought was that they didn't see Xihe, but they only saw the pawnshop boy and the corpse of a fourth-order brute beast purple-eyed wolf not far from the exit, the fat shopkeeper's heart sank, he knew that the person was afraid that he had already fled, and now the only way to catch Xihe was to ask for help from the so-called master in front of him.

Zhao Lingyun was very annoyed when he heard the fat shopkeeper's narration of adding salt and vinegar, but what he was annoyed about was not the looting of the treasures but Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan used to be the daughter of the richest Ye family head in Heavenly Demon City, and was the pearl of the Ye family, but a year ago, the Ye family on the rich side fell apart overnight.

Uncle Wang in Ye Xuan's mouth, that is, the fat shopkeeper of the pawnshop, is one of Ye Xuan's father's friends, before the Ye family was broken, Ye Xuan's father helped the fat shopkeeper build a pawnshop, in addition, Ye Xuan's father has a lot of help to the fat shopkeeper, but the fat shopkeeper not only has no gratitude in his heart, but also covets the Ye family's family business and wants to keep it for himself.

At that time, Zhao Lingyun, the son of the city lord, was deeply impressed by Ye Xuan's beauty at a glance when he saw Ye Xuan by chance, but Ye Xuan's father, the head of the Ye family, did not agree to this marriage, Ye Xuan's father knew that Zhao Lingyun was a good person praised by everyone in front of everyone, but he knew that this was an illusion created by Zhao Lingyun, in order to deceive everyone and get unanimous praise from the people of Heavenly Demon City, so that the people would support him as the next city lord of Heavenly Demon City, so that when his eldest brother and second brother returned, the overall situation was firmly in his own hands, although he was the third son, and he was not qualified to serve as the next city lord, but if the people unanimously supported it, the old city lord is not good at going against the will of the people.

But everyone only saw his upright side of Zhao Lingyun but didn't know the other side of him, Zhao Lingyun was ruthless, there were hundreds of people who were assassinated under him, and Zhao Lingyun actually pointed the assassination figure to his father, the main cultivation of the old city was not profound, if General He Lou didn't find out in time, the current city lord of the Heavenly Demon City was probably his Zhao Lingyun's.

After that incident, He Lou did not tell the old city lord that his own son was going to kill him, He Lou and the old city lord had fought in a battlefield before, at that time the old city lord was still the captain of He Lou, and he took good care of him, and now the old city lord has not been able to break through for a long time, and he is afraid that he will not live many days when he sees that Shou Yuan is approaching, and his health is getting worse and worse, He Lou knows that if he clarifies the truth to the old city lord, the old city lord will believe it, but He Lou can't bear it, he can't bear to see his eldest brother who is about to be buried in the loess have to bear such a heartache blow on the occasion of this final parting。

He Lou is a person who dares to act, he has been pressing this secret in his heart and feels depressed and unhappy all the time, but for the sake of his eldest brother, He Lou still endured it, and in a drunken conversation with Ye Xuan's father at the wine table, He Lou finally told Ye Xuan's father the secret he had suppressed for a long time in his heart.

Ye Xuan's father was shocked, but he couldn't help but be secretly vigilant against Zhao Lingyun, He Lou is not the kind of person who does nothing, and if there is no conclusive evidence for such a thing, who would say such a thing for no reason.

So when Zhao Lingyun brought a dowry to propose marriage, Ye Xuan's father of course rejected him, how could he marry his beloved daughter to such a person who even wanted to kill his own son.

Zhao Lingyun held a grudge and the fat shopkeeper coveted the Ye family's family business every day, so the two coincided, and they should work together to design a conspiracy to split and collapse the Ye family overnight, Ye Xuan's father was also secretly assassinated by Zhao Lingyun's killer in that disaster, and a large part of the Ye family's huge family business fell into Zhao Lingyun's hands, and the fat shopkeeper only got a small part of it, and the fat shopkeeper was unwilling, but there was no way, who called this Zhao Lingyun in this Heavenly Demon City, it can be said that he covered the sky with one hand.

At that time, Ye Xuan was penniless and had nowhere to go, but she didn't expect that it was Uncle Wang, whom he hated the most, to take him in, but Ye Xuan didn't know that her Uncle Wang took him in just in accordance with Zhao Lingyun's orders, Zhao Lingyun wanted to get Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan never accepted him, so Zhao Lingyun arranged for the fat shopkeeper to take in Ye Xuan, and let the fat shopkeeper be humiliated in every way, and when the time came, Zhao Lingyun could appear in front of Ye Xuan all at once, and at that time, facing his warm sweet words, Ye Xuan would not need Zhao Lingyun to speak, and Ye Xuan would agree to anything。

But now that his perfect plan has not been broken by others, how can he not be angry, but what the fat shopkeeper said to Zhao Lingyun is that someone forcibly abducted Ye Xuan, of course he will not say that it is the fact that he sold Ye Xuan to the human race, but he, the pawnshop shopkeeper, shrewdly led all the troubles to Xihe, and the purpose was to borrow Zhao Lingyun's power to find Xihe.
