Mountain and sea lantern

Chapter 640 Who are you?
Besides the wretched Yin Xu with his severed arms and legs, Tian Shen, who had been subdued and collapsed inside the carriage, was also on the carriage heading out of the city.

The two lay cramped together, while Xi Huang and Ying Gang, who were sitting inside the carriage, had nowhere to put their feet and had to step on the two of them. The driver was Xi Quan, who was in disguise.

People walking back and forth along the train carriage were unaware of what was happening inside. Many were still pointing and discussing the previous incident, completely oblivious to the fact that the person directly involved was passing by them...

Inside the Divine Mountain Prison, the goddess Feng Qingping presented the information about the Mother-Child Talisman to the clan leader Feng Xi, asking him to review it before making a decision.

After reading the dense contents on the Mother-Child Talisman, Feng Xi couldn't help but curse in his voice, "She really is clean and efficient without a single wasted word. Who does the Qingqiu Fox Clan think they are? They've been suppressed and are obediently cowering in Qingqiu, yet they still dare to order us Phoenix Clan around?"

He couldn't help but get angry. The Extreme Fire Sect had to offer benefits to the Phoenix Clan to do things for them, but this guy from Qingqiu spoke in a commanding tone from the start. Who would feel comfortable in that situation?

If you anger him, he'll arrest any disciple of the Extreme Fire Sect without hesitation. He's even captured the head of the Extreme Fire Sect's Martial Hall. The Extreme Fire Sect has tried to communicate with him several times, but he just won't release him. What can the Extreme Fire Sect do to him? And look at the character of this Qingqiu Fox Clan member, what a piece of trash.

Feng Qingping transmitted her voice to persuade him to calm down, "It's nothing more than relying on the Qingqiu Ancestor's stubbornness. It's better to avoid trouble."

Feng Xi said angrily, "The Qingqiu Ancestor is nothing. If it weren't for the powerful backer behind him, that arrogant fox spirit would have died countless times already."

Feng Qingping asked in confusion, "Then this..." She gestured to the mother-child talisman in her hand, asking how to reply.

Although Feng Xi's anger was still not quelled, his tone softened considerably in the telepathic message, "If the person is still in the city, at most we won't open the city gates for that so-called Western Emperor. It's impossible for us to help her capture people. Although Yaoshan City is within the territory of my Feng Clan, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Western Bull Royal Court. How can we capture officials appointed by the Royal Court?"

Feng Qingping smiled bitterly to herself, knowing that the clan leader had finally given in. After all, Qingqiu had a powerful backer, while the Feng clan did not. That was the reality that could not be helped.

There was no need to ask any more questions; she already understood the bottom line and knew what to do, so she immediately went to the side to communicate.

On the rooftop of Zhu Lang Pavilion, Yin Ning, having received a definitive reply, pried open Hu Gongxian's mouth again, and the red pill emitting a red glow suddenly flew out of Hu Gongxian's stomach once more.

Yin Ning swallowed the red pill in one gulp, let go and stood up. Hu Gongxian choked on a mouthful of blood, his eyes slowly closed. He had temporarily regained his senses, but this time he was truly heading towards death.

Yin Ning was powerless to change the situation, so he left the fox corpse alone and began to wander around the rooftop, even lingering in Yin Xu's room.

While searching everywhere, he received a message from Feng Qingping that, so far, the Western Emperor had not left through the four city gates.

In other words, the Western Emperor has not yet left the city because the city's protective array has been triggered but has not yet closed. To leave the city, one must exit through the array's exit; otherwise, the only option is to forcibly break the array. There has been no related activity at the moment, which naturally means that the person has not yet left...

Perhaps because his name was Xihuang (Western Emperor), the carriage that came out of Zhulang Pavilion chose to exit from the west gate.

When the carriage was stopped by the guards, Xi Quan, who was driving, shouted, "How dare you! The lord of Hanzhou is in the carriage. Get out of the way at once!"

To be honest, none of the guards present recognized the Western Emperor, as they had never seen him before. The Western Emperor usually came to Zhu Lang Pavilion without anyone noticing, and he would not have shown himself this time if the city hadn't been sealed off by the great formation.

However, the leader in charge here had a slight change in his expression. He had just received a message from above, which was directed at the Western Emperor.

He immediately stepped out and rebuked, "Why don't you say which star lord is in the car?"

Seeing that simply registering his name was useless, the Western Emperor emerged from the carriage, standing majestically with his hands behind his back on the carriage shaft. He ignored the group of guards and, wanting to speak, ultimately decided against arguing with these low-ranking officials. He took out a mother-child talisman and directly contacted the domain lord who was in charge of Juku Continent, as they were of equal rank.

Seeing this, the leader in charge of this area also turned around and took out the mother-child talisman to send a message.

Upon receiving the news, the city lord didn't dare show himself at all, and quickly relayed the message to the sacred mountain.

Soon, Yin Ning, who was on the roof of Zhu Lang Pavilion, looked at the mother-child talisman in his hand, immediately came out of the room, and shouted, "Go to the west gate."

After speaking, he vanished in a flash, and four figures quickly followed, managing to keep up.

Very quickly, it landed in no time beside the carriage that was blocked at the west gate.

The Western Emperor turned his head and saw Yin Ning. His heart pounded wildly. He knew Yin Ning; he had seen him before on some occasion, but Yin Ning did not recognize him.

Yin Ning unleashed his magical power, sweeping through the interior of the carriage, before waving his sleeve.

Bang! Crash! The carriage shattered into pieces, utterly rude.

Fortunately, the people in the carriage reacted quickly, otherwise they would have fallen flat on their backsides.

Ying Gang, who had just landed, was about to shout angrily, but when his eyes met Yin Ning's, he fell silent and looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

Ying Gang quickly transmitted his voice to the Western Emperor who was standing by the landing site, "Even the Great Master of Qingqiu has arrived. Are you sure that woman is not the maid of the Qingqiu Ancestor?"

It's obvious they're after that vixen Yin Xu. If it's a coincidence, he'd never believe it. How could a coincidence destroy their vehicle?

The Western Emperor replied telepathically, "Could it be that they found out this woman was impersonating the Ancestor's maid and came to deal with her?"

Ying Gang transmitted his voice: "Bullshit! A little fox spirit impersonating the Ancestor's maid, who can't handle her? Why would the Grand Master of Qingqiu have to come and deal with her personally?"

These words made sense, and the Western Emperor became somewhat uneasy.

Even if the city guards didn't recognize the person who dared to make a move at the city gate, they could tell that the newcomer was someone tough, and no one dared to utter a sound.

Yin Ning's gaze fell on Yin Xu and Tian Shen lying among a pile of broken boards. Tian Shen was alright, but Yin Xu, covered in blood, was in a terrible state. One of his ears had been torn off, and his hands and feet had been broken. He looked neither human nor demon.

Yin Xu and Tian Shen both saw her. They naturally recognized the Great Master of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and seeing him in person was truly unbelievable. Although they didn't know why he had come, they were both very excited, and Yin Xu, with his disheveled hair, even shed tears.

She knew very well that no matter how much the family separated, they were still from the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Even if her family members passed by and saw them, they couldn't just ignore it, especially since the person who came was a master from her family.

Just when they were driven to despair by being wantonly trampled upon, they suddenly saw hope.

Yin Ning pushed his palm from a distance, checked the situation of the two from afar, and then flicked his palm to dispel the restrictions on the two.

The barrier was broken, and Yin Xu immediately endured the pain and rolled over, dragging a severed arm and a severed leg as he knelt down, kneeling with Tian Shen, "Yin Xu, Yin Shen, pay our respects to the Great Master."

Yin Shen was Tian Shen's original name. He changed his surname to Tian because he often ran errands and did errands for people.

Yin Ning didn't bother with formalities and asked directly, "What happened to the injury? Who did it?"

These words caused a growing unease in the heart of the Western Emperor.

With disheveled hair, Yin Xu turned to look at the Western Emperor without hesitation. His eyes, hidden behind his messy hair, were filled with resentment as he gritted his teeth and said, "It's him!"

Yin Ning glanced coldly at them and asked, "Who are you? How dare you injure my Qingqiu Fox Clan?"

The Western Emperor took a deep breath, maintained his composure, and bowed, saying, "The Western Emperor, Lord of Hanzhou, greets the Great Master."

She calmly said, "Master, you flatter me. First of all, she has long since separated from Qingqiu. If everyone talks about being from the same family five hundred years ago just because they share the same surname, wouldn't that cause chaos in the world? Secondly, this is a private matter between her and me, and has nothing to do with the Qingqiu fox clan."

Yin Ning said indifferently, "You're also a demon cultivator, and you've only been wearing human skin for a few years, yet you speak so fluently. I don't care about anything else, but they are, after all, from the Qingqiu Fox Clan. What do you mean by injuring them in front of me? Are you trying to show off to my Qingqiu Fox Clan? You've got some nerve!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xu and Tian Shen immediately burst into tears and kowtowed. Anyone who wasn't stupid could understand what the master meant: "I'm determined to handle this matter today!"

Otherwise, the topic wouldn't have escalated to this level.

Yin Xu no longer felt the pain from his injuries; only a thousand words stuck in his throat.

Upon hearing this, the Western Emperor's expression changed drastically. He wanted to argue, "What do you mean by 'injured in front of you'? When I injured her, you didn't even know where you were."

But he's not a three-year-old; he knows that people are just looking for an excuse to interfere, and no matter how reasonable you are, it won't help.

Seeing this, Ying Gang gave Xi Quan a look, and the two quietly turned and left, not wanting to get involved in the matter.

To everyone's surprise, Yin Ning glanced sideways and said coldly, "Stop!"

The two from the Extreme Fire Sect immediately stopped. Ying Gang turned around, tore off his mask, and revealed his true face. He cupped his hands and smiled slightly, saying, "Master, it's been a long time. This matter has nothing to do with us, so please excuse us."

After saying that, he turned and left.

At this juncture, the blame can only fall on the Western Emperor. Who told you to say that the fox spirit had nothing to do with Qingqiu? This is enough to get the Grand Master of the Qingqiu Fox Clan to personally intervene. You say it has nothing to do with the Qingqiu Fox Clan? You're kidding me.

He was truly astonished by the Western Emperor. After sleeping with people for so many years, he still hadn't figured out their background. What was the point of sleeping with them so recklessly? If you don't take the blame, who will?

In any case, as an elder of the Extreme Fire Sect, he would never allow things to escalate into a conflict between the sect and the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

When the Western Emperor saw that he was about to shirk responsibility, he was also a little annoyed, but he couldn't openly say that it was the Extreme Fire Sect that had instigated it.

The logic is simple: you, a domain lord of Xiniu Hezhou, can you say in public that you are obeying the orders of the Jihuo Sect?
Ying Gang's side had clearly figured this out.

However, Yin Ning only glanced at Ying Gang's heels before sneering, "You think you can just walk away so easily with the blood of my Qingqiu Fox Clan still stained on the soles of your shoes? Ying Gang, try walking like that! Before things are cleared up, if you dare to run away today, my Qingqiu Fox Clan will dare to march on your Extreme Fire Sect and wipe you out tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, the two from the Extreme Fire Sect paused again. Ying Gang looked down at the heels of his shoes and found that they were indeed stained with blood. Earlier, when they were in the carriage, there were two people squeezed on the floor, so they had to put their feet on Yin Xu's body. Who would have thought that this would cause trouble?

Of course, he knew that this was just an excuse. If people insisted on taking it seriously, even if there was no blood on his heels, they would still tell him to stay.

The key issue now is that since they've made their statement publicly, he's in a really difficult position.

He slowly turned around and stared coldly at Yin Ning.

For onlookers nearby, the scene before them was one where the Qingqiu Fox Clan had subdued the Extreme Fire Sect with just a single sentence.

The city guard leader here hid behind someone, busy with his hands, secretly relaying messages and reporting the situation on the ground.

He hoped that someone from above could come and oversee things, but none of the officials there showed up, as if they had seen a ghost.

Yin Ning glanced at Ying Gang and Xi Huang from left and right, and said indifferently, "Take them away."

As soon as she spoke, two of her four attendants each went towards the Western Emperor and Ying Gang.

Upon seeing this, the Western Emperor's face darkened, and he instantly raised his hand in a defensive stance, shouting, "How dare you! I am the Lord of Hanzhou, personally appointed by the Royal Court. Do you intend to rebel?"

Yin Ning scoffed, “So what if you’re a domain lord? I, Qingqiu, have killed every domain lord in the Four Continents, and I haven’t missed any of the Heavenly Court’s either. I’ve killed dozens, if not hundreds, of domain lords. Who do you think you are? For so many years, my Qingqiu Fox Clan has kept our promise and stayed in Qingqiu, behaving ourselves. If anyone tries to ride on our heads, break the agreement, or rebel, my Qingqiu Fox Clan has done it before.”

This time, it was because the Qingqiu Patriarch personally gave the order; she came under orders, so what's there to be afraid of!
