Ding Feng City was in a state of chaos, with Yang Kai at the center. Countless cultivators were gathered around him, but most of them had nervous looks on their faces as they nervously swallowed their saliva. As Yang Kai moved, they also moved quickly, maintaining a distance of several dozen meter from him.
Yang Kai brought Qu Huachang around the city and after searching for half an hour, they still couldn’t find the entrance of the City.
Losing his patience, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and summoned a young man into his grasp with his Space Law.
The young man was originally about fifty meters away from Yang Kai, but before he could react, he suddenly felt his neck tighten. Looking up, he saw Yang Kai staring at him with a gloomy expression.
Letting out a loud cry, he instinctively wanted to counterattack, but who would have thought that a powerful force would suddenly burst out from the other party’s palm and rush into his body, causing him to be unable to exert any strength.
“Where is this city’s exit?” Yang Kai asked solemnly.
The young man’s face paled as he swallowed hard, a look of hesitation and struggle flashing across his face. Soon after, he closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, a look of determination appearing on his face.
“You’ve got guts!” Yang Kai coldly snorted as he increased his strength slightly, threatening, “I’ll ask you one last time, where is the exit? If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you!”
The young man clenched his teeth, and although he could see the fear in his eyes, he remained silent.
Yang Kai turned his head to look around and saw many pairs of eyes staring at him, all of them filled with shock and anger, as if he was some kind of heinous villain.
Yang Kai was so angry he wanted to laugh. Lifting the man in his hand up high, he shouted fiercely, “Open this city’s formation and let me out! Otherwise, I will slaughter this entire city and leave no one alive!”
No one replied. Although Yang Kai’s words caused everyone’s expression to change greatly, no one answered his question. It was obvious that although this city was not big and there weren’t many people, it was very united.
Thinking about it, this Blood Monster Cave Heaven was filled with dangers. If the natives here were not united, it would be difficult for them to survive here.
“Junior Brother, do you want to kill them all?” Qu Huachang asked quietly.
“Senior Sister, don't be restlessm just follow me.”
“Okay!” Qu Huachang nodded heavily and leaned close to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai turned his head and looked towards the middle-aged man who had attacked him before. This man was called Elder Tan, so he should have some status in this city. Perhaps Yang Kai could use him to inquire about the location of the Formation.
Seeing Yang Kai look over, Tan Luoxing’s expression changed and he subconsciously took a few steps back. He was well aware of Yang Kai’s strength and had just exchanged a palm strike with him in the dungeon, but in the end, he had almost been killed by him. This was not something he could resist, and even with all of Ding Feng City’s strength, he was unable to stop this man. Tan Luoxing very much doubted if Ding Feng City would be able to stop him if he really wanted to slaughter the entire city.
At this moment, a figure flew over and landed not far away from Yang Kai, transforming into a young girl. This young girl looked quite young, dressed like a maidservant and wearing a jade green dress, her appearance charming and pure.
Seeing the situation in the city, the young girl’s face was filled with surprise, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yang Kai as she looked him up and down, seemingly wanting to see through him.
“Miss Jing, be careful, this person…” Fan Wuxin called out loudly, thinking for a moment before saying, “Unfathomable!”
Miss Jing nodded slightly and bowed towards Yang Kai before gently saying, “This servant greets this Sir!”
“What advice do you have?” Yang Kai glanced over.
Miss Jing replied, “I don’t dare to advise you, but the City Lord would like to invite Sir to the residence for a chat!”
“City Lord?” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes as he looked towards the center of the city. Fan Wuxin had brought him there before, but at that time, the City Lord was in seclusion, so he had thrown him and Qu Huachang into the dungeon.
Now it seemed that he had caused too much of a ruckus here and had alarmed this person.
This City Lord was quite interesting. He had caused so much trouble in Ding Feng City, yet this person actually wanted to invite him over. Either this person was magnanimous, or he was as timid as a mouse, but judging from the attitude of this maidservant, the former was quite likely.
Just as he was about to nod, Tan Luoxing suddenly shouted, “Absolutely not! This man is a spy sent by Dark Green Thunder City and his strength is so great, if we rashly allow him to approach the City Lord, the consequences will be unimaginable. Everyone, let’s work together to kill this man to prevent future troubles!”
Yang Kai was furious. What was wrong with this Tan Luoxing? He had repeatedly accused him of being a spy from Dark Green Thunder City, causing Yang Kai’s killing intent to soar, making him want to stab this person to death!
Miss Jing smiled and said, “Elder Tan’s words are mistaken. The City Lord said that this Sir’s strength is great. If he really was a spy from Dark Green Thunder City, Ding Feng City would definitely not be able to stop him. I’m afraid that at this moment, blood will flow like rivers, but that is not the case. Although many of my Ding Feng City’s people have been injured, none of them have died. It can be seen that this Sir has shown mercy, so there must be some kind of misunderstanding!”
This City Lord was quite an understanding person, so Yang Kai nodded slightly and the anger in his heart subsided slightly.
“Sir, Madam, this way please!” After Miss Jing finished speaking, she turned and extended her hand.
Qu Huachang blushed slightly, “I’m not some kind of wife.” (It's a Madam that refer to a 'wife'.) This was the first time she had been called that, so she felt a bit strange.
“Lead the way,” Yang Kai put away the Azure Dragon Spear and put down the young man in his hand, nodding.
Miss Jing looked to the side and said, “Deacon Fan, come with us. I heard that you were the one who brought this gentleman and young lady back.”
“Yes!” Fan Wuxin replied, covering his waist with one hand, his face pale. Yang Kai’s spear had pierced through that spot just now, but it had not completely stopped the bleeding.
“Everyone, disperse, heal your injuries!” Miss Jing waved to the others before leading the way.
Tan Luoxing could only watch as Yang Kai and the others left, feeling both anxious and angry, but it was impossible for him to stop them with his current strength. Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, he knew that as long as that person entered the City Lord’s Mansion, he would be finished, and there would be no place for him in Ding Feng City.
Looking towards the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion, Tan Luoxing immediately flew towards his residence.
The City Lord’s Mansion should be the largest building in Ding Feng City. Yang Kai and Qu Huachang had come here before, but they hadn’t been able to enter.
At this moment, under the leadership of Miss Jing, their journey was quite smooth and they soon arrived at the Main Hall. Miss Jing stopped outside the hall and reported, “City Lord, the person has been invited.”
“Since you’ve come, please come in,” A gentle voice came from inside. Yang Kai was slightly surprised, not expecting the City Lord to be a woman.
“Sir, please!” Miss Jing extended her hand.
Yang Kai nodded and led Qu Huachang inside.
Entering the hall, Yang Kai immediately felt more than a dozen Divine Senses enveloping him. Looking up, he saw four people sitting around the hall, two on each side. There were men and women, as well as others hiding in the shadows, all of them on high alert.
Yang Kai didn’t think much of it. After all, he had just caused a great disturbance in the city, so even though the other party had invited him here, there will be some precautions.
The four people sitting there were all no worse than Elder Tan, most likely the higher-ups of Ding Feng City.
In addition to them, on the central high platform, atop the Main Hall throne, a woman dressed in palace robes was sitting quietly. As their eyes met, Yang Kai noticed that this woman looked to be around thirty years old. The passage of time didn’t leave much of a mark on her face, and her appearance was dignified, like a noble young lady.
However, to Yang Kai’s surprise, the moment their eyes met, the City Lord suddenly stood up from her chair. Not only her, but all of the people sitting around her also stood up and stared at him in shock.
The City Lord’s eyes were red and her breathing was rapid, her body trembling slightly as she covered her red lips.
“It’s you?” The old man on the left shouted.
Yang Kai turned his head and looked around, but didn’t recognize him!
He had heard these words twice today. The first time was when Elder Tan had seen him, and the second time was here. Not only that, but when the people here saw him, they all had strange reactions, and he didn't know why the City Lord had lost her composure.
Yang Kai frowned, his heart sinking as he asked, “Did you recognize the wrong person?”
If they hadn’t recognized the wrong person, how could they have such a reaction?
As soon as these words came out, the four people on the left and right were stunned for a moment before turning to look at the City Lord.
The City Lord’s eyes reddened as she asked, “Ting Yu… is that you?”
The voice trembled slightly, like a woman who had been waiting for many years calling out to her lover, filled with longing and bitterness.
Hearing the name Ting Yu, Yang Kai immediately understood that the people here had indeed mistaken him for someone else.
“Madam, are you referring to Lan Ting Yu?” Yang Kai asked.
The four people on the left and right were stunned again, and the City Lord’s tender body trembled as she floated over to stand in front of Yang Kai, tears streaming down her face as she carefully observed him.
After just a few glances, she said with disappointment, “You’re not him!” Slowly shaking her head, she turned around and slowly walked back to her seat, as if all of her strength had been drained from her body.
The old man who had spoken earlier carefully examined Yang Kai and asked suspiciously, “You’re not Lan Ting Yu?”
Yang Kai cupped his fists, “Yang Kai greets everyone!”
The few of them looked at each other, and one of the women couldn’t help nodding, “How could they be so similar?”
The other middle-aged man said, “It shouldn’t be Brother Lan. It’s been almost a thousand years since we last saw Brother Lan, but this gentleman looks so young.”
“That’s right, Elder Pang words are reasonable.”
“Could it be Brother Lan’s descendant, otherwise how could they be so similar?” The last fatty suddenly thought of something, but just as he finished speaking, the woman beside him stepped on his foot, causing him to grimace in pain, “Why did you step on me!”
The woman glared fiercely at the fat man and pouted.
The fat man immediately fell silent and glanced up sneakily, only to see the City Lord staring at Yang Kai with a reminiscent look in her eyes.
