The City's Destruction

"Has there been any other news from Hai Yue since then?"

"No, we haven't heard from Hai Yue since then!"

"That's strange!"

Emperor Lin looked at his eldest disciple and muttered to himself, "His own son is dead, and he doesn't even want revenge? Could it be that the enemy was too weak, and he's already dealt with them himself?"

Thinking of this, the tyrannical aura emanating from Emperor Lin reappeared, causing the disciples below to tremble in fear.

At the same time, they all hoped that the City Lord Hai would not resolve the matter.

Their master is clearly furious right now, and if he finds he has no one to vent his anger on, then these disciples are in trouble.

The eldest disciple realized this as well and quickly said, "Master, it shouldn't be! I tried contacting the City Lord Hai later, but there was no response! However, I have a friend who lives in that area, and after asking him, he finally replied to me yesterday!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"North Wave City, once ruled by City Lord Hai, has changed hands!"

"What? Change of ownership? First the youngest son was killed, then the city changed hands. Doesn't that sound like the same thing?"

The eldest disciple nodded and said, "That's right, Master. No matter what, the change of ownership of North Wave City must be related to the killing of Junior Brother Hai!"

"Then what about that Human Clan who killed Qing Song?"

The eldest disciple was momentarily speechless, and could only cautiously look up at Emperor Lin and say, "Master, this disciple is not entirely clear on this matter. If you have no further instructions, this disciple will immediately send someone to investigate. Once there is any news, I will report back to you immediately!"

Emperor Lin nodded, then suddenly raised his hand to stop his eldest disciple who was about to make arrangements. "Forget it, this old body of mine hasn't been out and about in ages! It seems someone has forgotten I exist, daring to touch my disciple!"

Having said that, Emperor Lin waved his hand and disappeared from the main hall.

"While I'm away, everything should be done according to your senior brother's wishes!"

Hearing the words left behind by Emperor Lin, the disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally left the main hall under the leadership of the eldest disciple.

That day, Xing Qi was giving a speech to the garrison troops of North Wave City.

I was only halfway through my sentence when I felt a sudden change in my vision.

Once the situation in his line of sight finally stabilized, Xing Qi realized that he was now above North Wave City, and standing in front of him was a strange man, none other than Emperor Lin.

"You are the current lord of North Wave City?"

The fact that the opponent was able to pull him from North Wave City into the sky without him noticing shows that the opponent's strength is far beyond what Xing Qi can handle.

Thinking of this, Xing Qi quickly bowed and said to the man, "I am the current city lord of North Wave City. May I ask what guidance you have for me, senior?"

Where is Hai Yue?

When Xing Qi heard the other party ask about Hai Yue, his heart skipped a beat.

However, his expression remained unchanged, and he still cupped his hands and said, "Senior, are you from Sea Emperor City?"

"Heh, it seems you know exactly what I want to know!"

"This humble one is not quite sure, but whatever Senior wishes to know, I will certainly answer to the best of my knowledge. I presume that Senior is a great figure in our clan and would not make things difficult for a junior like me!"

Emperor Lin naturally understood the meaning behind Xing Qi's words.

Xing Qi was subtly putting Emperor Lin down with his words. He had already said what he wanted to say, "You are a senior and a highly accomplished person. We will certainly tell you what you want to know. But if you make things difficult after we've told you, that wouldn't be in line with your image as a highly accomplished person."

"Youngster, don't try to outsmart me. But don't worry, with your strength, killing you would be too dirty for me! Look at how Hai Yue died!"

"In the struggle for cities, only the victor is king and the loser is villain; I die at the hands of the younger generation!"

Where is his son?

"My eldest son, using some unknown means, vanished right before my eyes just as I was about to kill him!"

"Where is the youngest son?"

"I haven't seen my youngest son. I heard he became a disciple of a powerful figure in the Sea Emperor City and hasn't returned yet!"

Xing Qi's words were half true and half false, and while speaking, he was also using his connection with Yi Xuan, the Soul Control, to constantly remind Yi Xuan.

Although they didn't know who the person in front of them was, even if he wasn't Hai Qing Song's senior brother, he must be a powerful figure in their sect.

Xing Qi is definitely at their mercy now. It remains to be seen whether Yi Xuan can handle him!

Emperor Lin laughed upon hearing Xing Qi's words, but despite his bright smile, his tone grew increasingly cold. "Am I a fool? What's wrong with the Human Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Qi was shocked, not expecting that the other party actually knew about Yi Xuan's existence.

Still looking puzzled, he asked, "What Human Clan? What are you talking about, senior? I don't understand!"

"It was that Human Clan, the Human Clan who killed Hai Qing Song! Think about it carefully, do you really not know?"

"What?"

This time, the surprise wasn't Xing Qi; it was genuine.

He truly didn't know that Hai Qing Song had died at the hands of the Human Clan, and Yi Xuan had never mentioned it.

After thinking it over, although Emperor Lin didn't mention the specific person, Xing Qi figured that anyone who dared to kill Hai Yue's youngest son right under his nose was definitely someone Yi Xuan was capable of.

No other Human Clan in the other North Wave City had the courage to do so.

Emperor Lin, who was staring at Xing Qi, also noticed something in the other man's expression and said with a smile, "Speak, you seem to know something. Tell me and I'll let you go!"

Facing such a powerful figure, Xing Qi had never felt such pressure in his entire life.

After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, "I don't know, senior. I'm just a minor city lord. If you're going to stand up for Hai Yue, then I have nothing to say. The grievances have their source, and the debts have their debtors. I killed Hai Yue!"

Seeing Xing Qi's smug look, Emperor Lin's sneer deepened. He patted Xing Qi's cheek and said, "Don't worry, I didn't come because of Hai Yue! You said it yourself, it would be petty of me to deal with a junior like you! Since you don't know, then go back!"

Hearing this, Xing Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that the guy in front of him, despite his intimidating appearance, was actually quite concerned about his reputation and afraid that others would accuse him of bullying the weak. So he actually let him go.

Before Xing Qi could leave, Emperor Lin stretched out his palm and pressed down on the ground.

Under Xing Qi's watchful gaze, the entire North Wave City was pressed beneath the seabed, disappearing into the Eternal Sea.

From now on, North Wave City will no longer exist in the Eternal Sea.

Before Yazi Xing Qi, his eyes blazing with fury, could turn around, he heard the Emperor Lin's laughter:

"Haha, I heard you used to own a city, East Yan City, right? I remember it was in that direction!"

After saying that, he struck out with his palm.

Seeing the other party's actions, Xing Qi's face turned ashen.

Xing Qi was able to assess how likely it was that a powerful being capable of destroying North Wave City with a wave of their hand could also annihilate the entire East Yan City from afar.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he went from being the lord of two cities to being a lonely figure.

Currently, Xing Qi has no other recourse but to send frantic warnings to Yi Xuan through the connection of Soul Control within his Sea of Consciousness.

Emperor Lin, who was looking at Xing Qi with a mocking expression, suddenly looked up.

Even though there was nothing above him, he felt as if a gigantic creature was currently hovering there.
