After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 221 City Lord
Taking advantage of this gap, the two old men in hemp clothing finally managed to break free from each other's aura lock.

In the end, it took less than half an incense stick's time to escape from Hundred Refinement City, which had not yet been completely sealed off.

However, after the two left Hundred Refinement City...

Without the cover of the Xishan Sword Sect, and still unsure how to infiltrate Luoshen Peak, they decided to temporarily stay on a small mountain near Bailian City.

The reason for doing this was twofold: firstly, to consider and adjust the next revenge plan; and secondly, to secretly observe the situation of Li Musheng, who was still in the city.

"If that guy takes advantage of the moment when we distract the two experts and escapes, he should have a chance to leave Baixiang Pavilion."

The little girl in pink looked down at the foot of the mountain; the Hundred Refinements City, though dark in the night, was still brightly lit.

The old man in hemp clothing pondered for a moment without speaking, then shook his head and said:
"He comes from the Dali Dynasty and is of high status. He must have powerful backers. Moreover, he doesn't seem to have any intention of escaping. I wonder what his, or rather the Dali Dynasty's, purpose is?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl in pink frowned, her delicate eyebrows furrowing. She looked at the old man in hemp clothing beside her with a surprised and puzzled expression, and said:

"Could it be that the Great Li Dynasty plans to capture Hundred Refinement City tonight, and then use it as a base to attack Hundred Refinement Peak?"

"That's unlikely. Along the way, apart from their group, we haven't seen a single trace of the Great Li Dynasty or heard any movement from anyone else. Clearly, Hundred Refinement Peak shouldn't be on the Great Li Dynasty's primary attack plan."

The old man in hemp clothing spoke thoughtfully, then fell silent for a moment before looking down at Hundred Refinement City.

At this moment, the city seemed to have realized what was happening. On the originally dark streets, many city guards carrying torches appeared and moved quickly, which looked somewhat chaotic.

The city gates of Hundred Refinements City were completely sealed off, making the entire city resemble an iron barrel.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing suddenly frowned and slowly said:

"To be honest, I really don't understand this person's intentions. It doesn't seem like he came here to die, but getting involved with Fallen God Peak here is no different from dying."

Upon hearing this, the little girl in pink's eyes flashed, and she said resentfully:

"That guy is so annoying. I always felt there was something wrong with him. I guess he's up to no good. Anyway, he probably won't lose his life."

Then, the little girl in the night turned to the old man in hemp clothing and said:
"What we should be worried about now is how to get into Hundred Refinement Peak. If we miss this opportunity, the chance to avenge our sister will be even slimmer."

The old man in hemp clothing remained silent, then nodded slightly and said:
"There is still time before Zheng Yunfeng's birthday. Hundred Refinement City is the only way to Hundred Refinement Peak. Martial arts sects will all go from here to Hundred Refinement Peak to offer their birthday wishes. As long as we stay here, we still have a chance."

……

The murder of the young city lord of Hundred Refinements City and the son of the Nine Peaks' leader in Hundred Fragrance Pavilion plunged the entire pavilion into chaos and panic.

Seeing that things were not going well, many guests quickly got out of bed and quietly fled. Even the people at Baixiang Pavilion were starting to have thoughts of running away.

After all, if such a person dies in Baixiang Pavilion, everyone in Baixiang Pavilion will inevitably be implicated, and everyone is worried that they may not survive.

The news of Zheng Zi's and others' deaths was reported to the city lord's mansion immediately. The city lord of Hundred Refinements City was Zheng Zi's elder brother.

Zheng Yunfeng, the peak master of Hundred Refinements Peak, married countless wives and had twenty-four children in his life, but he valued only a few of them and entrusted them with important responsibilities at Fallen God Peak.

As the city lord of Hundred Refinements City, Zheng Shangzong naturally ranks first. He is 47 years old this year and broke through the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm four years ago to enter the Celestial Realm.

Zheng Shangzong possesses formidable martial arts skills and controls almost half of the power in Hundred Refinement Peak. He holds an extremely high position in the entire Fallen God Peak and is known for his arrogance and even stubbornness.

Upon hearing the news of Zheng Zi's accident, he rushed to Bai Xiang Pavilion alone without even bringing the experts from his manor. Shortly after his arrival, the two elders from Luo Shen Peak who had lost track of the old man in hemp robes returned.

The two vaguely sensed that something was wrong in the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion, but they had not yet figured out what was happening.

Enraged upon seeing his younger brother's corpse, Zheng Shangzong attacked the two returning elders without a word.
"Neglecting his duty, he deserves to die!"

The supreme martial art of Hundred Refinement Peak is the "Hundred Peaks Divine Fist". Zheng Shangzong has been practicing this divine art since childhood. When he reached the realm of celestial beings, he had already mastered this fist technique to the point of perfection, and was only half a step away from perfection.

At this moment, when he made his move, his fist was vast and powerful, like a towering mountain crashing down, and the terrifying force of his fist almost crushed the entire Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.

The two elders of Luoshen Peak were not much different from each other in terms of martial arts cultivation, but Zheng Shangzong's fist technique was superior.

Moreover, since the other party was the son of the peak master of Hundred Refinements Peak, they naturally dared not actually fight him.

So, the two of them used their martial arts true energy to defend themselves while trying to avoid fighting each other as they retreated out of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.

"Lord Zheng, what exactly happened? Why did you attack us?"

Elder Shen, his face grim, asked the question, while the other elder retreated, explaining as he did so:

"Just now, Young City Lord Zheng ordered the two of us to chase after a Celestial Realm expert, but he hasn't been back for a moment. We have no idea what happened in the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion?"

At this moment, Zheng Shangzong threw a punch, and the void of the night twisted and roared in a dazzling golden fist light. The true energy of heaven and earth around the entire Baixiang Pavilion surged violently and boiled. The terrifying collision of forces erupted with a thunderous sound, as if it would tear the world in front of them apart.

The two old men immediately rose into the air, gathered their true energy, and ascended to the higher ground of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion.

Zheng Shangzong threw a punch, seemingly to vent some of his anger, but he had gradually calmed down by now.

He looked up at the two elders of Fallen God Peak standing in mid-air above, and said in a chilling voice:
"My brother and Yuwen Feng have been murdered!"

Upon hearing this, the two old men's expressions changed drastically, and they said in unison:
"what?"

"How can it be!"

……

Elder Shen was utterly shocked and subconsciously asked in a deep voice:

"Didn't that guy surnamed Miao protect the young city lord and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shangzong's figure flashed, disappearing from his original spot in an instant, and then reappeared in front of the two old men, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said:

"He's already dead. Someone pierced his head with a finger, just like my brother."

"Your negligence in protecting him has led to my brother's death, and you cannot escape your guilt. But now I just want to know, who killed him?"

"I swear I will tear him to pieces!"

Zheng Shangzong was filled with murderous intent, and the two old men looked extremely ugly.

Elder Shen opened his mouth to speak, but at that moment, a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears:
"Don't ask, I did it."
