Chapter 659 The Gong Family Comes to the Door
Gong Shisan knew that Zi Donglai's strength was extraordinary. If Jin Taohua was also there, their rash journey to Ziyang City would likely be fraught with danger.

He first sent out many spies to gather information about Ziyang City.

However, those spies who infiltrated Ziyang City almost never returned.

Although no useful information was obtained, the situation in Ziyang City precisely indicates that there must be a problem there.

Gong Shisan judged that Jin Taohua must be in Ziyang City. Without much hesitation, he explained the situation to his family and requested support and the dispatch of powerful experts.

In addition, Gong Shisan contacted other families, hoping they could send powerful individuals to Ziyang City to force Zi Donglai to hand over Jin Taohua.

But the other families aren't fools. The Gong family and Jin Taohua are mortal enemies, but they aren't that close to Jin Taohua. Why would they send people to be thugs for the Gong family?

Apart from the merchants who had extensive financial ties with the Gong family and sent people to Ziyang City with the Gong family, all other major families declined the trip with various excuses.

"These old foxes, don't they understand that if Zi Donglai and Jin Taohua become too powerful, their interests will also be harmed?" Gong Shisan cursed under his breath, but there was nothing he could do.

Such is human nature; throughout history, there have been many powerful and influential families that, for their own benefit, brought about the downfall of their capitals.

Of course, the Gong family was not a righteous force either.

However, thanks to the merchants' help and the Gong family's emphasis on this matter, they temporarily transferred the guardians of the other secret realms. Gong Shisan felt that with this lineup, suppressing Zi Donglai and Jin Taohua should not be a problem.

Once everyone was assembled, Gong Shisan led his men directly towards Ziyang City.

Although there are only a dozen or so people in this group, without the support of a large army, each and every one of them is worth a thousand soldiers.

The group arrived outside Ziyang City, but instead of entering, they sat on their mounts. Gong Shisan, who was in the lead, called out to the city, "Gong Shisan of the Gong family is here. Please come out and meet the city lord of Ziyang."

Fujimi Rei arrived at the city gate tower, looked at the thirteen riders outside, and calmly asked, "What brings you to see my city lord?"

Teng Mingli already knew Gong Shisan's purpose in coming, because Mr. Xiao had arrived in Ziyang City a few days earlier and explained the current situation.

"Let Zi Donglai come out and speak." Gong Shisan didn't even think much of Zi Donglai, so how could he talk to a woman whose name he didn't even know? It would be more appropriate if Jin Taohua were here.

“My city lord is not someone who can be seen by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. If any random cat or dog came up and demanded that our city lord come out to meet us, then our city lord would have no reason to do anything else.” Teng Mingli knew that this matter was unlikely to be resolved peacefully, and backing down would be useless.

She was ready to fight, but with Chen Guan not around, she felt a little uncertain.

"What a bunch of scoundrels! In the eyes of your Ziyang City, the Ten Great Families are nothing but beasts. No wonder you dared to harbor and shelter the most heinous female demon in the world, Jin Taohua." Gong Shisan said coldly, his expression unchanged.

His words invoked the names of the ten great families, occupied the moral high ground, and portrayed Ziyang City as the evil side, truly turning the world upside down with a single sentence.

"Where are the Ten Great Families? I don't see them at all. You have only ten or so people, and you claim to be the Ten Great Families. Then, with over a hundred thousand people in this city, wouldn't that mean there are over a hundred thousand families?" Teng Mingli said, pursing her lips.

“Stubborn to the end, it seems you are determined to collude with the female demon. Then you cannot be spared.” Gong Shisan’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was already prepared to destroy the city.

He didn't come here to reason. Teng Mingli was about to say something when a figure burst forth from the city, standing high in the sky, coldly looking at Gong Shisan and the others, saying, "Are the Gong family members in such a hurry to die?"

Gong Shisan saw that Jin Taohua was indeed there and said in a hateful voice, "Jin Taohua, you are indeed here. Today is your death day."

As he spoke, Gong Shisan turned to an old man and bowed, saying, "Ninth Elder, please kill the female demon and seek justice for the millions of innocent people who died at her hands."

"She will die today." The Ninth Elder sat down and Gai Yunhu leaped up, walking on clouds and arriving in the air, where he looked at Jin Taohua across the distance.

"You female demon, you have killed countless members of my Gong family. Today, you must pay for this in blood. Remember, it is I, Gong Jiuchuan, who will take your life," the Ninth Elder said righteously.

Everyone in the city was startled when they heard the name Gong Jiuchuan.

Gong Jiuchuan was once known as the number one archer in the cave, but that was six or seven hundred years ago.

Later, Gong Jiuchuan was promoted to the Great Cave Heaven, where he also made a name for himself.

Then, a major incident occurred in the cave controlled by the Gong family. The Secret Spirit Tide almost swept through the entire cave, and at that time, no one was able to turn the tide. It looked like the cave was about to fall.

The Gong family's higher-ups had no choice but to force Gong Jiuchuan to lower his rank and fall from the cave. Alone with a bow, he shot down many of the leaders of the Secret Spirit Tide, almost single-handedly saving that cave.

From then on, Gong Jiuchuan remained in that grotto-heaven, and for hundreds of years, no one could shake his position.

Every time he made a move, he suppressed the secret spirit tide, making him the stabilizing force of that grotto-heaven.

Moreover, he hadn't left that grotto-heaven for two or three hundred years, and unexpectedly he came to Pengxuan Grotto-heaven today. The Gong family really wants to destroy Ziyang City.

"Gong Jiuchuan? Killing you would make the Gong family heartbroken for a long time, wouldn't it?" Jin Taohua's expression remained unchanged, and her peach blossom sword automatically appeared, hovering in front of her.

Jin Taohua rarely keeps pets because she has the Blood Spirit Banner, and pets are not as useful as the Blood Spirit Army.

Seeing that Jin Taohua had summoned the Peach Blossom Sword, Gong Jiuchuan immediately activated his divine sense, and an iron-rimmed bow appeared in his hand.

He gripped the bow in one hand and drew back the bowstring with the other. A crimson light condensed between his fingers and the iron bow, forming a luminous arrow.

“She-devil… in your next life, remember not to mess with anyone surnamed Gong again… you can’t afford to offend him…” Gong Jiuchuan said before releasing his grip on the string.

The light arrow instantly transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards Jin Taohua at an incredible speed.

The Peach Blossom Sword in front of Jin Taohua moved without wind, transforming into a pink sword light that crashed into the arrow.

Gong Jiuchuan's destiny treasure is called the Sun-Shooting Bow. Combined with his own talent and secret skills, when the secret spirit tide of that cave was in chaos, he shot and killed the leading secret god with a single arrow. Even the secret god could not withstand the power of his arrow, which shows how terrifying his arrow is.

boom!
Almost instantly, Jin Taohua's peach blossom sword was shattered by the arrow.
