  At the Banquet of Heroes that year, the 72 City Lords and deputies were invited to go and no one was absent during the heyday of White Night City. Following the banquet, the lord of White Night City passed away due to illness and Bai Zhu took over the ownership of the city. At that time, he was still young and although he was extremely talented and powerful, he did not have the domineering nature of his father to suppress the 72 cities. He had weathered a lot of storms, received countless challenges and assassination attempts. After a hundred years, White Night City was finally stable again.

  However, because of the century of depletion, White Night City was no longer flourishing and no one there had the ability to host a Banquet of Heroes.

  Who would have thought that a thousand years later, another Banquet of Heroes would be hosted by the little City Lord of Sea Spirit City?

  If this had happened a thousands of years ago, Sea Spirit City would have become the biggest joke within the 72 cities.

  “Even if the Sea Spirit City is not worthy of hosting the Banquet of Heroes, this matter has already been settled. I have heard news that the cities led by White Night City have already taken action. They have brought tributes with them to Sea Spirit City, and with them leading the way, the other cities will also attend the banquet. Sea Spirit City now is different from the Sea Spirit City of the past.” The City Lord of Hidden Demon City frowned, he always felt a bit off about the sudden rise Sea Spirit City, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was exactly wrong.

  “If they want to go, then go! I am not going! This piece of shit Sea Spirit City! When Yan Wan was still around, he was just a piece of waste carrying my shoes. Now that his son has replaced him, and I have to go attend the Banquet of Heroes in Sea Spirit City? He’s such a big shot huh!” The City Lord of Epic Vesper City growled through gritted teeth.

  Guan Hu was the most trusted confidant of Epic Vesper’s City Lord, thus he was sent as the representative to Sea Spirit City. Who knew that Jun Wu Xie would be so bold as to chop off Guan Hu’s head. This caused Epic Vesper City’s Lord to hate Jun Wu Xie to the bone.

  There was a saying that to beat the dog, one also had to find out who was its master. Jun Wu Xie killed the ‘dogs’ from the Five City Coalition, and that was tantamount to slapping the five cities on their faces in front of everyone. How could he swallow this indignity?

  The Heaven Fiend City Lord looked at Nangong Yan with a somber face as he hesitated for a moment before he said, “Did you find out? Is White Night City supporting Sea Spirit City from the back? If so, then this Banquet of Heroes, we really have to go.”


  Nangong Yan frowned, “Based on current information, it is still uncertain. The rumours from outside are saying that the envoy of White Night City was driven out by that Yan Hai kid, but that did not anger White Night City. Even this Banquet of Heroes, they have encouraged those cities who are in alliance with them to go. I am still confused. If there is no alliance between them, then why is White Night City giving many courtesies to Sea Spirit City? If it is an alliance, how can Sea Spirit City simply expel the White Night City from its grounds? ”


  Nangong Yan had thought about this for a few days, but couldn’t figure out anything.

  White Night City has very tight defense, so they have not been able to successfully send spies into White Night City.

  “I think …… they don’t have an alliance.” the Hidden Demon City Lord said.

  “Oh? Why do you say that?” Nangong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

  “If it is truly an alliance, with the status of Sea Spirit City, you still cannot get White Night City to give it so much respect. The reason is because White Night City has the intention to entice Sea Spirit City, but Sea Spirit City is not agreeable to it. That’s why the smiling tiger, Bai Zhu, is ‘showing’ respect for the wise.” The Hidden Demon City Lord replied.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  “Like this, he can not only show Sea Spirit City his sincerity, but it can also mislead us and let us think that Sea Spirit City is already in alliance with them and force Sea Spirit City into a hostile position against us. He must have expected us to assume that Sea Spirit City is on his side and that we will not go to Sea Spirit City. That is why he purposely leaked the news. If we really fulfil his expectations, then I am afraid…… ” The City Lord of Hidden Demon City did not finish what he wanted to say, after all, no matter what hidden agendas Bai Zhu may be hiding, one thing was very clear.

  That was the value of Sea Spirit City!

  At the beginning, it was a miscalculation to send their troops to Sea Spirit City. They also underestimated the strength of Sea Spirit City as they wanted to forcibly take over that city, but they were beaten by Jun Wu Xie instead.

  Bai Zhu was very clever; he bided his time. After finding out the strength of Sea Spirit City, he approached them with caution and courtesy. Even after getting rebuffed, he still maintained his calm.

  “What you’re saying is …… Sea Spirit City is really important?” Nangong Yan had a great bias against Sea Spirit City, but in the face of absolute vested interests, there were no eternal enemies.

  “When has that brat Bai Zhu made any loss in his dealings? Since he is being so patient with Sea Spirit City, it is enough to prove that Sea Spirit City has certain value. I think we should change our methods and try to get in touch with Sea Spirit City.” said the City Lord of Hidden Hidden Demon City.

  “But with the previous incident…… ” The City Lord of Epic Vesper City had some hesitation as he looked at the City Lord of Hidden Demon City.

  For them to attend the Banquet of Heroes, did it not mean that they were bowing to Sea Spirit City?

  The corpses of their own soldiers had been piled up outside Sea Spirit City for so many days, they had lost face and now they had to attend the Banquet of Heroes? Wasn’t this a continued humiliation and won’t it make people think that they were afraid of Sea Spirit City?

  “Don’t worry about this matter. There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world. Not to mention, Master Nangong was the one who led the soldiers to Sea Spirit City. We have nothing to do with it.” The City Lord of Hidden Demon City sneered.

  At this moment, everyone immediately understood the meaning of the City Lord of Hidden Demon City!

  Wasn’t he putting all the blame on Nangong Lie?

  “Exactly.” Amazingly, Nangong Yan agreed.

  Nangong Lie and the Five City Coalition army entered the Sea Spirit City, and till now there was no news. Everything pointed to a disaster. Hence, it would be easy to push all the blame to him. This way, they could resolve any conflict between the five cities and Jun Wu Xie.

  “Master Nangong is one of the top ten exponents, thus, whatever he requests of his, we cannot disobey. But, the attack on Sea Spirit City is not our intention at all.” Nangong Yan took a deep breath and uttered those cold words, it was as if he had no relationship with Nangong Lie.

  “Very good, even if we can’t win over Sea Spirit City, at least we will not let White Night City succeed. Otherwise, it will be very bad for us.”


  Nangong Yan’s words immediately won the approval of other City Lords.

  Compared with a dead Nangong Lie, Sea Spirit City was more important, and they could never let White Night City’s scheme succeed, otherwise in the future, in the battle of power, it would put them in a very passive situation.

  With that decision, the City Lords of the five cities left to each prepare for the Banquet of Heroes. No matter how much they were disgusted with and despised Jun Wu Xie and Sea Spirit City, as long as it was to move against White Night City, they would never back down.

  Soon, the news of Blazing Flame City and the other four cities traveling to Sea Spirit City spread and everyone in 72 cities was dumbfounded.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Oh!

  Hadn’t the Five Cities just have a big argument with Sea Spirit City? !!

  The crowd was confused. But the minds of the top ten cities was not something they could predict.

  At the same time, in a magnificent palace in the Upper Realm, a handsome man crossed his slender legs and looked at the news that had just been delivered in his hands while his eyes narrowed slightly. The sexy lips evoked a mysterious smile as he propped his chin on one hand as he fanned that paper with the other.

  “Banquet of heroes? This is interesting. If I remember correctly, shouldn’t the Sea Spirit City be the humblest among the 72 cities? Yet they are hosting the Banquet of heroes? How could this happen?” The man looked up with query as he stared at the black robed man before him.

  “My Lord, I don’t know about this matter. I only know that the Sea Spirit City has changed a lot recently. Since the new City Lord had taken over, the strength has increased greatly. Now, the 72 cities have spread the news that Sea Spirit City has gotten a good treasure which has greatly improved the strength of the entire city. Not only have they conquered a few nearby cities, the five cities brought by Nangong Lie were completely destroyed.” The black robed man said.

  “Oh? So interesting?” The man raised an eyebrow slightly.

  “So far, there’s no news at all from Nangong Lie. I guess that most of his subordinates are dead. Since Sea Spirit City can kill the Lord Nangong who is one the top ten masters, its strength is not to be underestimated.” The black robed man said.

  The handsome man waved his hand in a disapproving manner and lazily retorted: “Nangong Lie has been abandoned since he returned from the Middle Realm. To the Lord, keeping him by his side is just like keeping an abandoned dog. Looking at his pathetic face now, he should no longer be considered as one of the top ten masters. He has died. In fact, it’s Yan Hai of ​​the Sea Spirit City ……” The man touched his chin, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

  “He’s definitely fierce, strong and interesting enough. Ask the Young Miss to come here.” The man said.

  The black robed man immediately retreated. After a while, a delicate and charming lady with a pale complexion entered the hall.

  Gu Xin Yan stood in the hall. When she looked up, she saw the handsome and graceful man sitting on the seat above.

  In the Upper Realm, Gu Ying was in a high position. Who could be of equal status? And yet, there was a special superior status.

  After she saw the familiar yet strange face, Gu Xin Yan couldn’t help but look down.

  “Are you looking for me?” Gu Xin Yan’s voice was unusually calm. She had been worn away by all her vigor when she was under house arrest all these years. Now she was just a bird that could not fly and escape.

  “There will be a Banquet of heroes held in Sea Spirit City. You can represent me and give some gifts to that Yan Hai.” Gu Ying looked at the lifeless Gu Xin Yan with a smile.

  “Why do you want me to go? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away?” Gu Xin Yan lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.

  “Where can you escape to? My sister, this is the Upper Realm. This is no longer the Middle Realm. You are no longer a noble Young Miss. So even if I let you run around the entire vast lands of the Upper Realm, tell me, with your current capabilities and beautiful appearance, how long can you survive?” Gu Ying said sarcastically with a smile, revealing his cruelty and ruthlessness.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Gu Xin Yan’s heart shook as she stood there stiffly.

  She had thought of escaping, she tried, she tried running away. In the Upper Realm, a place where Gold Spirits were aplenty, she was too weak. There was not a semblance of humanity and respect in this place. The beautiful young woman had become a prey to everyone. If she was caught, it was as good as being dead.

  Gu Xin Yan did not want to admit that she was a cowardly person as she was afraid that her last trace of dignity would be stripped off as well.

  “Why is your face so pale?” Gu Ying’s voice suddenly rang in Gu Xin Yan’s ears.

  Suddenly, Gu Xin an raised her head, widened her eyes and looked at Gu Ying’s shadow. She did not know when she had appeared. Her whole blood seemed to be frozen at this moment, and her fingers were cold.

  Gu Ying narrowed his eyes and raised her hand to hold Gu Xin Yan’s chin. Those smiling eyes swept past Gu Xin Yan’s rigid face.

  “Don’t be afraid, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.” He was laughing. His soft and gentle words passed into Gu Xin Yan’s ears……

  “Be obedient and go. You haven’t seen the great mountains ever since you came to the Upper Realm. This time, just go and play, just hope that……” Gu Ying’s lips rose slightly, “The cruelty of the Upper Realm doesn’t scare you. ”


  Soon after saying that, Gu Ying let go of his hand, turned around and sat back down. He looked at Gu Xin Yan with a smile, wondering what she was thinking.

  Gu Xin Yan was so cold that she could only leave stiffly.

  After Gu Xin Yan had left, the shadow of Gu Ying’s eyes disappeared without a trace.

  “Why does My Lord keep such a woman by your side? It is too dangerous, I hope……” A dark guard who had been hiding in the dark stepped out and looked at Gu Ying with a puzzled expression.

  Gu Xin Yan had always been very repulsive towards Gu Ying. And her gaze was always deep and intent and although the glint of hatred was shallow, it had never disappeared.

  She didn’t even realize that the slightest bit of hatred could deepen and seemed like it had penetrated deep into her bone marrow.

  By keeping such a person beside him, all the dark guard saw was that Gu Ying was raising an enemy of his own, and he may be bitten at any time.

  Gu Ying looked up. He looked at the totem sketched on the top of the hall. His voice became vague.

  “Did you know? A dog that everyone mistreats, even if it hates everyone, it won’t bite the person who treats it well.”


  The dark guard was slightly stunned.

  “So, she’s safe, and you ……” Gu Ying’s eyes flashed slightly, a scream suddenly echoed into the empty hall. The dark guard who just asked, fell into a pool of blood. His beating heart was now firmly held in the hands of Gu Ying.

  The sticky blood dripped down Gu Ying’s long and beautiful fingers on the ground next to his feet. The blood dripped at his feet had formed a beautiful crimson flower.

  “Being too curious is simply seeking death.” Gu Ying smiled and looked at the dark guard in the pool of blood. He held the heart with his five fingers and tightened his grip. The heart was pinched in his hands!

  “It feels ……”


  “Good.” Gu Ying whispered as a smile emerged and that laughter echoed in the blood-filled hall, making everyone feel creepy.

  Sounds of mourning seemed to come from hell.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  The Banquet of Heroes brought the City Lords of the 72 Cities who had not gathered in the past millennium together. Outside Sea Spirit City, streams of horse carriages rushed in.

  Since the rise of Sea Spirit City, although many people have heard the news but only very few have seen the changes of Sea Spirit City.

  When they came to Sea Spirit City, only then had they then realized that……

  Sea Spirit City had really changed.

  Yu Mou City’s Xu Yuanshan and East Peak City’s Dongfang Ku Bi were good friends. The cities they were in charge of weren’t very large. They were not ambitious and they thought alike. City Lord Xu Yuanshan was originally going to inquire about the situation about Sea Spirit City’s City Lord from Dongfang Ku Bi. However, along the way, Yu Yuanshan just heard Dongfang Ku Bi sing praises about Jun Wu Xie’s contributions on and on.

  The act that Dongfang Ku Bi did to try to please Yu Yuanshan made him suspect that Dongfang Ku Bi was not intimidated by surrendering to Jun Wu Xie but it was all voluntary.

  Originally, Yu Yuanshan also felt that the Dongfang Ku Bi was very pathetic. He was guarding East Peak City and did not provoke anybody to deserve this. But just because he was not far from Sea Spirit City, he was therefore beaten by Jun Wu Xie. Fortunately, Dongfang Ku Bi knows the current situation and did not struggle further. However, after seeing Dongfang Ku Bi’s fanatical worship of Jun Wu Xie, Yu Yuanshan felt that …… he was such an unreliable City Lord of East Peak City and the city was far better to be under Jun Wu Xie’s care.

  Never had he seen such cowardice before!

  However, when Yu Yuanshan and Dongfang Ku Bi came to the Sea Spirit City, they sat in a carriage and looked out the window and saw the fortitude of the city. Now he understood that Dongfang Ku Bi was not a coward, he just knew the way to survive!!!

  “These …… these are the soldiers of Sea Spirit City?” Yu Yuanshan opened the window and watched the group of soldiers wearing black light armor pass by. He could not help swallowing his saliva.

  This team of soldiers imposed were all strong and filled with vigor. At a glance, they felt frightened. Even if they did nothing, Yu Yuanshan felt the murderous intent from them.

  Even if they knew that the murderous intent was not directed against him, Yu Yuanshan felt that his legs were wobbly.

  Is this the type of soldier that a weak city should have? Even the soldiers in the number one White Night City from the 72 cities weren’t that terrifying!

  He felt like he saw a group of Hade Lords passing by.

  “How’s it? I didn’t lie to you, right? The fighting force of the City Lord is absolutely tough. Fortunately, I knew the current situation and did not lose anything. You can see how badly devastated Puppet City was under their assault. “Dongfang Ku Bi hummed.

  Puppet City was the city that Jun Wu Xie attacked after conquering East Peak City. The City Lord did not believe in the combat power of Sea Spirit City, so he directly led his troops out of the city to fight. On that day, Puppet City was washed with blood and blood flowed out like a river as bodies piled up like mountains. The bloody stench was so suffocating that it frightened all the commoners who were too scared to even stand.

  Yu Yuanshan swallowed his saliva again and remained obedient.

  Puppet City, which was attacked by Jun Wu Xie, had become a ghost town.

  “I’m pretty convinced. Fortunately, I have a brother to remind me, otherwise I don’t know how many jokes I will make out of myself. I must really thank you for this.” Yu Yuanshan cupped his fists before his chest and saluted to Dongfang Ku Bi.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  “You’re welcome, so long as you’re optimistic. This time round, there are definitely people who are waiting for a good show. By that time, there will be a good show. You just have to follow me.” Dongfang Ku Bi patted his chest with lofty sentiments as his eyes revealed some excitement.

  The corner of Yu Yuanshan’s mouth twitched slightly, all he could do was to nod his head.

  In the City Lord’s manor, Jun Wu Xie was looking at the stacks of congratulations cards sent. The hall of the City Lord’s manor had been filled and piled up with treasures piled up like a mountain Ye Jie held the Hell Rodent and squatted one side while stuffing its mouth with all sorts of treasures.

  “Meh?” Lord Meh Meh kicked its small hoof against the piles of gold and silver, its limbs were tied up with a circle of pearl chains, and it looked down at the huge pearls with its head down, and it looked like it was having a good time.

  However, the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit jumped among the treasures. Not knowing which City Lord had sent the congratulatory gift, it pulled a huge emerald cabbage, humming and hugging with his paws and feeling satisfied.

  The black cat sat calmly on Jun Wu Xie’s shoulders, looking at the appearance of two silly ones speechlessly.

  When Qiao Chu and the rest arrived, they had to lean one side before they could squeeze in. The Hell Rodent could swallow a large number of treasures. But it was slower than the speed of the treasures rushing in.

  In addition to the gifts given to the Banquet of Heroes from many cities, a congratulatory gift was also additionally sent to celebrate Jun Wu Xie becoming the City Lord of the Sea Spirit City. Even though this matter had passed for a long time, they still sent in the gifts using this reason.

  “It feels so wonderful ……” Qiao Chu could not find the chair anymore, and sat down on a pile of gold and silver treasures with a happy face.

  “Help yourself.” Jun Wu Xie looked up from the gift lists and glanced at her friends.

  “No, it takes up too much space.” Rong Ruo waved her hands immediately. They didn’t have a ring spirit like the Hell Rodent who could store things. There was no place to put these things at all. Besides, it was Jun Wu Xie who reimbursed them all the expenses. They didn’t have to spend a single cent.

  “Most of the 72 City Lords have already arrived. The few other City Lords from the top ten cities are still on their way. But I heard that even Nangong Yan has come. This Nangong Yan is really shrewd. He was defeated so badly previously and he still dared to attend the feast. ” Fan Zhuo said as he found a place to stand.

  “The City Lords of the top ten cities are not fools, else they would not be held in this high position.” Jun Wu Xie said faintly. She didn’t care if Nangong Yan would come or not. His presence made no difference.

  “I am definitely looking forward to it, what kind of expression Nangong Yan and the rest would have when they arrive.” Fei Yan touched his chin, what he loved most was to watch a good show!

  Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes slightly and looked at her few companions who seemed very relaxed and slowly asked, “Are you very free?”


  Fei Yan and others immediately looked at her, stunned momentarily.

  Jun Wu Xie suddenly stood up and threw all the things at Qiao Chu.

  “Do the records.” After that, she left without looking back.

  “.……” For a while, Fei Yan and others looked at each other wryly.

  If they had known earlier ……

  They wouldn’t come over to join in the bustle.

  Was it too late to regret now?

  The people from the 72 cities had been arranged properly, and there were still a few days before the Banquet of Heroes. Those City Lords had greatly changed their impression of Sea Spirit City, but they still couldn’t hide their curiosity ……

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  All of a sudden, everyone was curious why Sea Spirit City had suddenly become so formidable.

  After entering the city, the City Lords did not dare to openly find out the reason on their own. They could only bring their men into the city to find clues covetly. They tried to bribe the people and see if they could buy some news in Sea Spirit City.

  Jun Wu Xie knew it from the first day. But she didn’t respond to it. Instead she issued an order that if anyone from the 72 cities bribed the Night Regime members, they shall keep the money and sell them the news about the elixir at the same time.

  Only Jun Wu Xie could do this.

  As a result, thanks to the people in the 72 cities, the Night Regime became rich overnight!

  This made the comrades in the ghost army who had been hiding in the dark, depressed and vomit blood. They could not wait to change with the Night Regime, so that they could also enjoy accepting bribes.

  In fact, Dongfang Ku Bi often ran to the City Lord’s manor. His diligent pleasing act was detested by many City Lords. But when they saw that Dongfang Ku Bi’s efforts were rewarded, they became annoyed and angry. Especially when they saw Dongfang Ku Bi holding the gifts that they had given to Jun Wu Xie, they regretted and began to wonder whether they should do the same to please him.

  After waiting for a few days, everything in Sea Spirit City was stable. Except for the spies from the 72 cities, rushing around the city to get news .

  A few days later, the five cities headed by the White Night City arrived. Two days later, a group of people such as the Blazing Flame City rushed over as well. All the City Lords of the 72 cities had gathered here.

  However, after the top ten cities entered, the atmosphere in the Sea Spirit City became a bit subtle.

  The top ten cities were divided into two groups. After fighting for many years, there were also many supporters from the other cities. When the two parties arrive, they could often be seen in the streets and alleys of the Sea Spirit City. Everyone started to quarrel on the spot. When one starts the fight the other would want to win. But after much argument, no bloodshed occurred.

  Only because……

  Jun Wu Xie issued an order that no one was allowed to fight in Sea Spirit City and not cause any damage to Sea Spirit City. Damaged assets shall be compensated a hundredfold.

  As a result, no matter how bad the situation was, there were no fights or damage.

  With the 72 cities coming together, the Banquet of Heroes was about to begin. On the night of the banquet, Jun Wu Xie hosted the banquet in the City Lord’s manor and invited the other City Lords. Only the City Lords were allowed to enter the banquet. Any deputy City Lords, followers, or guards were not welcome at all to attend it.

  That was a demanding request from Jun Wu Xie. Many City Lords were dissatisfied but the top ten cities remained unexpectedly quiet. Even Nangong Yan, who had always been high-profile, did not voice out any objections, but cooperated well instead.

  The ten cities were silent, and so did the other City Lords.

  That night, the Sea Spirit City’s main hall was brightly lit. All the City Lords were smartly dressed. A team of soldiers sent their City Lords to the door and remained standing still. The banquet had not yet begun. There were already thousands of soldier escorts from various cities, squeezing outside the door and standing by to fight anytime.

  Inside the City Lord’s manor, there was another scene. The melodious music was accompanied by the moonlight, and the evening wind stirred the intoxicating fragrance of fine wine.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  The City Lords of the 72 cities chatted in small groups. Their main topic was about the City Lord of Sea Spirit City as not many people had seen him before.

  It was said to be the City Lords of 72 cities. But the number of people present was less than seventy. It was because other than Dongfang Ku Bi, several City Lords had been killed by Jun Wu Xie when she took over the cities.

  At the start of the feast, the City Lords had taken their seats. Now, they started to look forward for the City Lord to appear.

  Among the City Lords in the banquet, a man dressed in white was very eye-catching. The handsome man was smiling. He had thin lips and was talking to the people around him. He looked like a young man of age twenty-seven. No one would have guessed he was of this young age.

  Bai Zhu, the City Lord of White Night City, faced many challenges since he took over the White Night City. He was able to defend the White Night City against the enemies. This was how he kept his status as the City Lord of the city till now.

  Other City Lords couldn’t help looking at the Bai Zhu. Bai Zhu was smiling and looked gentle. But everyone remained careful and wary of him.

  As known, ever since Bai Zhu took over the White Night City, he had killed countless people. At that time, White Night City had once been a place washed in blood. This was how the city got its peace and stability today.

  Although Jun Wu Xie had not yet appeared, the atmosphere between Bai Zhu and Nangong Yan had started to stir as a storm brewed. Bai Zhu was more handsome and younger than Nangong Yan who was middle aged. Their clashing gazes were flashing across like thunder and lightning.

  The other City Lords were afraid of getting involved in the conflict and tried to avoid the war between them.

  “Smiling tiger.” Nangong Yan sneered. Although his voice was not soft, the other City Lords could still hear it very clearly.

  Bai Zhu slightly raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Yan. He swirled the wine cup in his hand slowly with a grin on his lips, and said, “Brother Nangong, I thought you would not come this time.”


  Nangong Yan snorted, “Is there a reason why I should not attend?”


  Bai Zhu laughed and said: “Brother Nangong, you have a wide heart. If my army was slaughtered outside the Sea Spirit City, I’m afraid I won’t dare to come here again. After all, I will definitely not want to recall my failure again whenever I step into this city? ”


  Bai Zhu was smiling in his voice. This had angered Nangong Yan that he almost spat out blood.

  Blazing Flame City was the leading city that sent the coalition armies to the Sea Spirit City to fight. But they did not expect that their army would be the ones buried here. Only Bai Zhu had the guts to outright point out Nangong Yan’s failure. Not only that, Bai Zhu did not spare any feelings for Nangong Yan.

  Nangong Yan gritted his teeth in anger and stared at Bai Zhu. He tried pressing down his anger: “It was Master Nangong who ordered us to send the five cities coalition. Do you think that it is possible to refuse Master Nangong’s request?

  Nangong Yan’s words stunned everyone.

  Does this mean that it had all become Nangong Lie’s fault?

  One has to know, now that no one knows whether or not Nangong Lie was dead or alive, everyone knew exactly why the army came. However, there was no testimony of witnesses against Nangong Yan’s remarks.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  “Oh? In that case, it was unhappy that Master Nangong wanted to come to Sea Spirit City?” Bai Zhu asked with a smile.

  “Whatever it is, just ask Master Nangong yourself.” Nangong Yan hummed coldly.

  Bai Zhu smiled and did not speak again.

  Everyone knew Nangong Yan’s shamelessness. Nangong Lie was his son, and he was one of the top ten masters. He had always been taking care of Blazing Flame City. But as soon as Nangong Lie disappeared, Nangong Yan started to put the blame on Nangong Lie in order to ease the relationship with Sea Spirit City. He was really ruthless.

  There were a lot of discussions at the banquet. But everyone disagreed with Nangong Yan.

  Outside the banquet, on a second-floor building in the City Lord’s manor, a figure looked through the window and saw all the happenings in the banquet. Each and every word from Nangong Yan was heard clearly.

  Nangong Lie held the window frame firmly. His eyes seemed to have ignited a fiery flame under the candlelight. He looked at Nangong Yan sitting at the banquet. His face tensed up with nervousness.

  Never would it come across his mind that Nangong Yan would be so heartless and had no affection for him at all.

  He protected Blazing Flame City for so many years, but as a result he became a scapegoat for Nangong Yan.

  What is he?

  “Heard that clearly?” A slightly cold voice sounded from behind Nangong Lie.

  Nangong Lie clenched his both fists tightly. After a long silence, he turned his head and looked at Jun Wu Xie, who was sitting behind.

  Jun Wu Xie did not kill him. He even treated him for his injuries and helped to relieve his depressed mood. Nangong Lie did not understand why Jun Wu Xie kept letting him off time and time again. He had seen for himself how cruel and ruthless Jun Wu Xie was. She did not even spare any of the Gold Spirits in the Middle Three Realms.

  Her heart was colder than ice, but ……

  Why didn’t she kill him?

  Nangong Lie couldn’t understand.

  “What do you want me to do?” Nangong Lie took a deep breath and looked at Jun Wu Xie, he couldn’t guess her mind.

  “The Upper Realm only respects the strong. I am way stronger than you. Do you need me to teach you how to do it?” Jun Wu Xie looked at Nangong Lie. Nangong Lie was young and had no serious intentions, so she spared him his life, and moreover, she needed someone who knew his way and led in the Upper Realm.

  Jun Wu Yao could not do this role as he could not reveal his identity.

  Zheng Weilong couldn’t because she was not influential enough.

  Only Nangong Lie could fulfill this role.

  Nangong Lie widened his eyes slightly and looked at those cold eyes. The next moment, he knelt down on one knee, and lowered his proud head in front of Jun Wu Xie.

  “Nangong Lie meets his master.”


  Jun Wu Xie nodded her head with satisfaction as she slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

  “Come on, it’s time for the banquet.”


  Nangong Lie was stunned. He stood up with flames ignited in his eyes.

  At the banquet, the sound of music stopped abruptly and peoples’ voices stopped immediately. Their eyes could not help looking at the entrance door of the banquet.

  Only a young man was seen walking into the banquet accompanied by two guards. The look of the young man was so outstanding, but the breath emanating from his body was very strong. That cold and indifferent temperament was a total opposite of the hustle and bustle of the banquet and no matter how noisy it was, it could not break that isolation and indifference emanated.
