Chapter 339: The Sorrowful City Lord
"It turns out that Dongfang Muming, the city lord of this Sorrowful Yan City, is your disciple. ”
The woman paused.
"And what is the purpose of your coming here today?"
The woman continued.
"I knew from the moment I cast the forbidden spell hundreds of years ago that my fate with you is no longer possible, but I must appear in front of you alive and tell you about my hardships and helplessness. ”
The man's face was full of bitterness.
"It's come to this, I really have no choice, they were angry with you because of their love for me, which really surprised me, but you killed them but it surprised me even more, they are all my brothers, in terms of feelings, you are my brother killer, for my sect, you have set the Bright Sword Sect back for at least a thousand years, and now I have to sit on the position of the sect master, but I am also struggling to support, the situation in this Sorrowful Yan City is complicated, and the Bright Sword Sect may be destroyed at any time. ”
The woman sighed and said.
"Maybe that's what you and I have created......"
The man's eyes were full of loneliness.
The woman's face gradually calmed down, and she looked at the man again, but before she could speak, the man's body was shocked, and a painful look suddenly appeared on his face.
"Min'er, I'm about to lose my mind again, you quickly imprison me. ”
The man suddenly shouted anxiously.
The woman's face froze, and the next moment her right hand shook, and as a result, nine golden soft ropes appeared in her hands, and the soft ropes were extremely spiritual, like small worms, quickly floating around the man's body, and then firmly bound the man's body, leaving no loose gaps at all.
The man trembled violently, and then suddenly became crazy, and struggled with all his might, trying to break free, but the more the man struggled, the tighter the soft rope around his body became, and finally the man could no longer struggle.
"Yin Ran, now I only live for the Bright Sword Sect, but I will try my best to heal you, and I will not waste the affection I once had. ”
The woman muttered as she looked at the man with a pained face.
Gu Feng saw everything clearly and heard everything clearly outside the skylight, and the amount of information in it was too large, far beyond Gu Feng's expectations, but now Gu Feng had no need to continue to stay, so he wanted to leave.
But when Gu Feng just made a move and was about to turn around, the woman's eyebrows were slightly raised, and then her right hand grabbed in the air, and there was immediately a light blue long sword in her hand, and then the woman swung violently in the direction of the skylight, and immediately a blue sword light shot out, impartial, and slashed towards Gu Feng's location.
Gu Feng's complexion changed slightly, and he swept away, and found that a layer of light curtain lit up out of thin air behind him, and he immediately guessed in his heart that this Bright Sword Sect Sect Master had obviously discovered the existence of Gu Feng, so at the same time as attacking Gu Feng, he opened the magic circle around the Sect Master's Pavilion.
However, the moment Gu Feng saw the sword light slashed by the woman, he estimated in his heart, although the woman's cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of refining, her sword dao perception was weaker than Gu Feng, and her attack was not a threat to Gu Feng at all.
Gu Feng's figure flashed, and as a result, the blue sword light broke through the skylight and swept past Gu Feng's side.
The woman's thin body rose vertically and flew towards the skylight, Gu Feng knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he moved his body to the front of the light curtain behind him, and waved the long sword in his hand lightly, as a result, a sword light containing extremely sword momentum flashed out, and slashed silently on the light curtain.
"Whew!"
The next moment, the light curtain opened a four or five meters long opening like a huge cloth, Gu Feng flashed his body, and when the woman flew out of the skylight, Gu Feng had already walked into the light curtain gap, and then he didn't look back, so he started to flee in the direction of the sect at great speed.
The woman's face showed surprise, looking at the sword light that gradually dissipated in the air, and her heart seemed to be thoughtful.
Gu Feng only came to the place where the sect was located in a moment, and then stepped out of the sect and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Gu Feng regained his original appearance, and when he returned to the courtyard, the sky had just brightened, just as Gu Feng fell into the courtyard, a black light above his head quickly approached, Gu Feng's right hand was spread, and a black beetle landed firmly in Gu Feng's palm.
"Jin'er, after Wei Wei and I left last night, how is the situation in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Gu Feng asked.
"Back to the master, the situation is not good now, I think we have to leave the Southern Emperor Continent immediately. ”
The golden fang's tone was very solemn.
"Oh, it's so serious, what the hell is going on?"
Gu Feng's face only changed slightly, and he asked with some doubts.
"After you forcibly left with Weiwei, the city lord Dongfang Muming seemed to be very angry, and ordered Keqing to capture you with all his might, and then the city lord's mansion returned to its previous calm, but an hour ago, the tower where Dongfang Muming was located suddenly exploded, and the entire tower body was almost blown into powder. ”
The golden fangworm replied.
Gu Feng's face changed greatly when he heard this.
"How can this be! Could it be that Dongfang Muming has fallen?"
Gu Feng asked in surprise.
"Yes, there was absolutely no chance of him surviving, and with the power of the explosion at the time, no one in the tower would survive. ”
The golden fangs replied.
"This is unreasonable, after all, Dongfang Mu Ming is also a monk in the merger period, if someone plots against him, it is too difficult to do, if he has a problem with his cultivation and goes mad, it seems too unbelievable. ”
Gu Feng said to himself.
"I can't figure it out either, but that's not the point anymore, the point is that everyone knows that someone broke into the City Lord's Mansion at night yesterday and opened the Demon Suppression Tower, and that person has become the biggest suspect. ”
The golden fangworm said.
"That's why you think we should leave the Southern Emperor Continent immediately, right? I don't think anything, I used the Heavenly Secret to change my appearance at that time, and no one would know my true identity at all. ”
Gu Feng calmed down.
"But that's just a theory, every city in the Southern Emperor Continent has been transformed, if you look at the city as a big array, then the city lord's mansion is the array, although you change your appearance, but as long as you are still in the array, the array can find your location. ”
The golden fang said.
Gu Feng heard the golden fang's words with a thoughtful look on his face, and finally nodded.
"What you said also makes sense, I will leave the Southern Emperor Continent in three days, but I'm more curious, now that Dongfang Muming has died, how will the position of the city lord be decided next?"
Gu Feng then asked.
"This situation is usually decided by the suzerain-level figures in the city, but the city cannot be left without an owner, so the result of this vote needs to be reached within three days, once there is still no decision after three days, the city lords of other cities will immediately intervene, and they will decide the final candidate of the city lord by recommendation. ”
The golden fangworm replied.
"It's actually a vote, which is a little interesting, but as far as I guess, the basis of the vote is still cultivation or combat power. ”
Gu Feng said with a smile.
"Your guess is not wrong, theoretically the voting result will also be related to the overall strength of the sect, but in fact, the final winner is usually the strongest one, because after the vote, the loser is allowed to challenge. ”
The Golden Fangworm nodded, then added.
"Okay, I see, let's go in and see Vivi, she was hurt last night. ”
Gu Feng nodded thoughtfully, and then spoke.
Gu Feng entered the attic with the golden fang, and Wei Wei was originally meditating with her eyes closed, but at this time she opened her eyes and smiled at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng suddenly remembered the conversation he heard in the Bright Sword Sect, that Yin Ran turned out to be Wei Wei's mother chasing after the master, and Wei Wei's mother fell in order to protect the master, which is indeed a matter of love and righteousness.
"Vivi, what's wrong with your injuries?"
Gu Feng asked with concern.
"Just a few days of recuperation will be fine. ”
Vivi replied.
"That's good, there is news I have to tell you, that is, Dongfang Mu Ming died unexpectedly last night, and even the stone tower he was in has been razed to the ground. ”
Gu Feng hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"How ...... is this?"
Vivi was incredulous.
"I'm also surprised, but this is what Jin Er saw with his own eyes, I have a question for you when I talk about this, that is, now that Dongfang Muming is no longer alive, do you think you still have the possibility of getting back the Soul Bell?"
Gu Feng asked.
Wei Wei listened to the ancient words and pondered for a long time.
"Xiaofeng, if I say, by my intuition, that my mother's Soul Bell will come back to me, will you think I'm talking nonsense?"
Weiwei's eyes were full of hope, and she asked cautiously.
Gu Feng was stunned when he heard this, and at this moment, he looked at Wei Wei's eyes, and suddenly remembered the picture when Hong Chen fell.
"Of course not, I'll do my best to help you get the Soul Bell back. ”
Gu Feng replied softly, a warm smile on his face.
"No, Xiaofeng, I don't say this to ask you to help me, but I hope you can leave, you have already helped me find the Jade Void Ring, you can't accompany me on the entire cultivation path, so this soul bell must be retrieved by myself. ”
However, Vivi replied with a resolute gaze.
Gu Feng was not surprised by this, and the smile on his face was even stronger.
"Okay! When you chose to come to the Southern Emperor Continent by yourself, you had this idea in your heart, and now I still won't stop you, but I want to know your plan, so that I can leave with confidence. ”
Gu Feng nodded and said.
"At the moment, I really don't know what to do next, but you can rest assured, that is, I will never be so impulsive again, and with the refining of the inheritance in the Jade Void Ring, my cultivation will gradually improve, and I will have enough ability to protect myself." ”
Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, and then thought back.
"Okay, then you continue to recuperate, and I'll inquire about the situation in the city, and when your injuries are fully recovered, it's not too late for me to consider leaving." ”
Gu Feng replied with a deep groan.
Wei Wei nodded lightly, watched Gu Feng walk out of the attic, and then closed her eyes slightly, and cultivated again.
"Jin'er, how do you think the situation in the city will develop?"
Walking down the street, Gu Feng asked the golden fang.
"I don't know about this, and what I know is what I saw and heard when I followed the original owner before, but I know what you care about, and I have a suggestion that may help you figure out the doubts in your heart. ”
The golden fangworm replied.
"What's the suggestion? ”
Gu Feng asked with interest.
"There is a very powerful and special organization in the Southern Emperor Continent, called Mirage Tower, this organization has branches in every city, they know many little-known secrets, as long as the price is in place, they can give answers to anything. ”
The golden fangs replied.
"It's really a bit special, where is the Mirage Tower branch of this Sorrowful City? I'll think about it now. ”
Gu Feng thought for a moment and spoke again.
