The eldest brother was shocked. "Don't you know I'm the miscellaneous affairs elder of the Spirit Martyrdom City? If you go to the Spirit Martyrdom City to cause trouble, don't drag me down with you!"
"And another thing, I suddenly remembered, isn't Xie Feng the person you asked me to investigate three years ago! You idiot! Back then, he scared you half to death with that Supreme Sword, and now he's all brother to him!"
Feng Ning suddenly realized, and he covered his mouth and coughed fake, "So it was my brother Feng! Haha, I remember now, cough cough, it's all the same, all the same. It's not easy for me to guard the gate, with eight hundred people passing by every day, I'm bound to run into a few troublemakers. That's why I have to ask you, boss, to check their backgrounds. I have to be selective in my dealings with people! Don't blame me for my bad memory, it's just that there are too many people! By the way, you absolutely must protect my brother Xie! He's my only friend, if he gets caught... just wait!"
The eldest brother was speechless. "What kind of friend is this? Did he even save your life? Don't be impulsive, I'll protect you! I've told you before that you should make friends early, and now you're so concerned about some guy whose background you don't even know? You're really useless!"
Feng Ning looked around to make sure no one was watching, then smiled mysteriously, "Brother Xie gave me a bottle of Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill, you believe it or not? This is a real treasure! I pestered that stubborn old man at home for three days before I finally managed to coax one out of him! Boss, how about this, everyone gets a share, I'll give you half!"
After being stunned for a moment, the boss decisively made the decision. "It's a deal! Give it to me now!"
Feng Ning poured the pills into her hand, carefully selected five that were relatively mediocre, and sent them to her boss using a sound transmission talisman.
The eldest brother laughed, "Hehe, you're a true friend! By the way, how many times have I told you not to call me 'elder brother'? You're the real elder brother! I was just your childhood study buddy. Now we're all grown up, you have to change how you address me!"
Feng Ning rolled her eyes. "It's none of your business!"
Boss: "..."
At the same time, the starship had sailed into a land of Eternity moonlight, a deep blue night where the sound of the tides rose and fell. Each high tide brought a vibrant spiritual energy to this vast land, a land spanning billions of miles—this was the Tides Chanting to the Moon!
"We've entered Returning Moon City's territory! Just a little further ahead and we'll arrive!"
On the starship, Yu Meng stood at the front, gazing into the distance, his face showing the excitement of a long-awaited return.
Xiangxiang they drew closer to their hometown, Xiangxiang felt a pang of emptiness in her heart. She asked Yu Meng, "Is Auntie in the city? I miss her so much..."
Yu Meng sighed softly, a smile on his face. "Lord City Lord, shall we go back and take a look?"
Xiangxiang nodded.
Yu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed that the city lord was indeed different from ordinary children; if it were an ordinary child, he would probably have been crying and making a fuss long ago.
As the starship continued its journey, just before reaching the central area, a thick, misty fog suddenly swept in, and Yu Meng frowned as if sensing something.
squeak!
The starship braked sharply and came to a stop.
"Old Yu, what's wrong?" Nether Dao rushed to the driver's seat and hurriedly asked.
"I don't think that's right!"
Yu Meng stared ahead, his expression serious.
Nether Dao also looked up and saw that the entire field of vision of the starship was covered and shrouded by this mysterious white mist. The thick fog made it difficult to discern directions.
Even more bizarrely, this white mist had never been seen before!
Its sudden appearance here now seems more like a deliberate interference!
His eyes sharpened instantly.
At that moment, a woman in white gracefully boarded the starship. She went to the cockpit with practiced ease and coldly advised, "Don't go any further!"
The woman was dressed in white, with several elegant black butterflies embroidered on her clothes. She was none other than Ye Die, the city lord of Falling Snow City Returning Moon City, a subordinate force of Guiyue City!
The Nether Dao was no stranger to her!
Previously, he and Xie Feng were chased by the Dao of Time and fled to Falling Snow City. They also implicated Ye Die, but she later led the two to her Evil Sound Hollow, thus escaping a calamity.
Later, Nether Dao left Evil Sound Hollow.
Now, the two have met again!
Upon seeing an acquaintance, Nether Dao quickly stepped forward and asked curiously, "Lord Ye Die, what's wrong? Why can't we move forward?"
Ye Die turned halfway around, her beautiful eyes fixed on the towering fog outside, and said angrily, " Returning Moon City has fallen!"
Yu Meng and Nether Dao were both greatly shocked!
"What?"
" Brocade King must have offended Ink Mysteries City for some reason; they actually sent the Dao of Destruction with three thousand elite troops to occupy Returning Moon City!"
" Brocade King? Damn it, when did our Brocade King get involved with Ink Mysteries City?!"
"Three days ago, Brocade King approached me, instructing me to stay here and warn you not to approach Returning Moon City! The Dao of Destruction is currently lying in wait, ready to wipe you all out once you return!"
Ye Die pursed her lips, a hint of anxiety flashing in her cool eyes.
Nether Dao's expression was very serious. Judging from the current situation, what Ye Die said was not false.
Although it's unclear how Jin Yue offended Ink Mysteries City, given the current situation, Returning Moon City definitely requires careful consideration!
"Damn it, I went out for a bit, and my house got robbed!"
The Nether Dao was so angry he was about to vomit blood.
Ye Die calmly said, "Now, turn around and take refuge in Evil Sound Hollow!"
Yu Meng nodded slightly. "At present, this is not a bad idea."
" Ink Mysteries City and Returning Moon City are listed as two of the three cities. Why didn't you dare utter a sound when you heard the news of Ink Mysteries City's elite troops raiding your base? What are you afraid of?"
At this moment, the Imperial Evil Lord appeared outside the door, arms crossed, leaning against the threshold, a half-smile playing on his lips.
Xie Feng, Gu Yu, and Xiangxiang were also alerted and arrived one after another.
Yu Meng, Nether Dao, and Ye Die exchanged a glance.
Nether Dao sighed and lowered his head, "You are all my brothers, so I won't hide it from you anymore. Alright, I'll tell you, the truth is that our Returning Moon City has had some unspeakable secrets all these years!"
"As we all know, the existence of a transcendent power is inevitably due to the continuous rotation of the new generation and the backbone behind it. However, for some reason, Returning Moon City has been on a downward trend in recent years. There are no outstanding talents emerging one after another, and the backbone power will eventually grow old and fall. As a result, Returning Moon City is left with only an external name!"
"Putting everything else aside, just looking at the strongest individuals, to put it bluntly, our city only has me, Nether Dao, the city lord, and Brocade King to support it. Everyone else is quite mediocre. On the contrary, both Spirit Martyrdom City and Ink Mysteries City have a considerable number of strongest individuals! Especially Spirit Martyrdom City, which has countless big shots who control various 'Dao'!"
" Ink Mysteries City already possesses a profound foundation and an astonishing background. Whether it's resources, combat power, or reputation, it far surpasses us. Therefore, Returning Moon City truly has no strength to contend with Ink Mysteries City!"
Nether Dao's words silenced everyone.
Especially Ye Die, Nether Dao, and Xiangxiang from Returning Moon City. Xiangxiang head and said guiltily, "It's my fault as the city lord..."
