"What is it?"
The Qianxue Emperor raised his sword-like brows...
"Dugu Yanjun, City Lord of Liuli City... has been killed! The entire City Lord's Mansion has been destroyed!"
Feeling the emperor's imposing aura radiating from him, the figure hastily dropped to his knees and reported with slight panic.
"What? Yanjun is dead? The City Lord's Mansion was destroyed?"
The Qianxue Emperor's originally smug expression instantly turned livid. He abruptly turned to Prince Fu Jiang. "Didn't you say this person's strength was only slightly greater than yours? How could he kill Dugu Yanjun, a Half-step Ruler?"
"I..."
After arriving, because Fu Jiang had not been sure just how strong Nie Yun truly was, he had only said that Nie Yun was a little stronger than himself. He had never mentioned Half-step Ruler, and he himself had always believed that Nie Yun was merely at the peak of the Sect Master realm. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected him to kill even someone at the Half-step Ruler level!
"Hmph!" Seeing his expression, the Qianxue Emperor also realized that he might not know how powerful this Nie Yun truly was. With a cold snort, he looked at the figure. "What exactly happened? Report every detail!"
"Yes... After City Lord Dugu received the prince's message, he immediately went to the Glazed Pagoda to find Nie Yun, the one who had challenged the tower. He prepared the Myriad Souls Annihilation Formation, but it was still broken by the other party in a single stroke. Then the other party pursued him to the City Lord's Mansion and killed him..." "He defeated Dugu Yanjun with a casual move, then killed him even under the protection of the City Lord's Mansion's Formation. This Nie Yun's strength has likely reached the Mid-stage Third Level of Half-step Ruler!"
