On the other side of the rope was a middle-aged man wearing a white and gold robe.
Zhuang Hancheng... I never expected that he would escape at this time.
Yin Kangxuehan's face was extremely ugly. This rope was at least a seventh-grade spiritual artifact, and it would be very difficult to break free.
no solution anymore!
Her face hardened, and a slightly painful roar followed.
A burst of energy erupted from her body, and a white beam of light shot into the sky.
As the light faded, Yin Kangxuehan disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a bloodstained fox tail.
The middle-aged man in the sky had a furrowed brow.
"It's actually a Celestial Fox! There's no record of it in the Demon-Suppressing Stele, no wonder there was no reaction..."
Meanwhile, with the addition of armored guards, the battle had ended, leaving the corpses of more than a dozen demons scattered on the ground. On the other hand, the Yuqian Sect members, having been alerted beforehand, mostly suffered only minor injuries.
Qin Yangjun wiped his face; the ups and downs of this matter were like riding a roller coaster.
This development was completely unexpected.
Was that woman Yin Kangxuehan?
Why would she come to the city lord's mansion to assassinate me?
He had no grudge against her whatsoever; in fact, this was their first meeting.
"Big Brother!"
"Senior brother, are you alright?"
Hua Yaoyao and Yu Lingyue rushed to Qin Yangjun's side to help him up.
Qin Yangjun waved his hand.
"It's alright...it's alright..."
thump!
Just then, a thud came from behind Qin Yangjun. He turned around and found Ling'er lying unconscious on the ground.
Qin Yangjun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly picked up Ling'er from the ground, preparing to check on her.
Zhuang Hancheng himself landed in front of him, and a group of armored guards gathered behind him.
He then knelt on one knee to pay his respects, and the guards behind him also knelt down.
"I am late, please punish me, young master!"
Even with his slow reaction time, Qin Yangjun understood the current situation. While feeling anxious, he also felt a bit irritated.
"You've gathered so many forces, and the City Lord's Mansion is still in such a mess. It's laughable that you're the City Lord! I don't have time to deal with you right now. Go clean up your mess yourself."
Chapter 52 The Realization After Surviving the Catastrophe
After saying that, Qin Yangjun carried Ling'er away.
At this moment, the two peak masters walked up to Zhuang Hancheng.
"Lord Zhuang, this time you have failed in your duty. You should have heard what the young master said clearly. Did you really think the sect didn't know about the mess you've made? You've really messed up this time. It's fortunate that the young master is alright, otherwise... sigh... never mind, you'd better watch yourself."
After saying that, the two turned around and prepared to follow Qin Yangjun.
Zhuang Hancheng's expression changed several times as he stood there.
So it was discovered after all...
He didn't think his little tricks could fool Mu Xianxian; his actions were more of a test.
But he was not content to be just a city lord guarding the frontier. He wanted more power, and one day in the future, he would also establish his own sect. His actions were a test of Mu Xianxian, and it seems that he has now crossed the line.
He had anticipated this situation, but that wasn't the most troublesome thing right now.
At this critical juncture, he not only allowed the demons to invade the city lord's mansion, but also almost caused Qin Yangjun to be assassinated. This is no longer a matter of dereliction of duty.
He might even be accused of treason.
If he is punished for multiple crimes, it's questionable whether he can even keep his position as city lord.
Just then, a deacon's voice came from behind Zhuang Hancheng.
"Lord Zhuang, please pay attention to your son. He has two demons with him."
what? !
Zhuang Hancheng suddenly raised his head and rushed out the door without saying a word.
On the other side, after Qin Yangjun carried Ling'er into the room, he used his spiritual power to examine her body.
Fortunately, she only fainted because her emotions were too intense, causing a clash between her demonic and spiritual power, which impacted her consciousness. She was not injured.
After letting go of Ling'er's hand, Qin Yangjun began to ponder.
Today's events have completely exceeded Qin Yangjun's expectations.
In particular, the assassination attempt by Yin Kangxuehan was a scene that was completely absent from the original novel.
It seems that my arrival has once again deviated from the plot.
At the same time, Qin Yangjun was also reflecting on whether he had become too relaxed.
After several failed attempts at scheming, one should realize the problem with their approach.
The butterfly effect was causing his plans to spiral out of control.
If Ling'er hadn't unleashed her demonic power, Yin Kangxuehan wouldn't have stopped. Had she struck with that palm, the outcome would have been an extremely tragic one.
Zhuang Hancheng's arrival time was also crucial. His Great Weak Water Technique could only withstand one attack. With Yin Kangxuehan's cultivation level, he wouldn't be able to escape a second pursuit.
Later, even when her older sister sensed the danger through her divine sense and rushed over, it was too late.
At that time, I would only be a corpse.
In short, he was able to escape unscathed this time thanks to Ling'er and luck, which are intangible things.
The more Qin Yangjun thought about it, the more frightened he felt.
Only now did he realize that even with memories of his past life, a comfortable life, and a noble status, his mind had been numbed.
Despite repeated failures, he still hadn't started to take it seriously.
If things continue like this, there's probably no need for a dramatic ending; he himself might just perish halfway through due to these unforeseen events, transforming from a major villain into a clown.
If things don't change, the account... will be ruined.
Thinking about this, his thoughts gradually began to change...
After confirming that Ling'er was alright, Qin Yangjun returned to the room that had been arranged for him.
On the way, I heard Zhuang Daoyan scream, so he must have been beaten.
They also encountered Jiang Yanfeng, who had been beaten up and looked like a pig's head.
Upon seeing Qin Yangjun, Jiang Yanfeng snorted coldly and then went into his room.
Even after being beaten up like this, this kid is still so arrogant.
Qin Yangjun ignored him. To Qin Yangjun, Jiang Yanfeng was nothing more than a "funny generator." Apart from mocking and causing trouble, he didn't do anything outrageous.
Therefore, Lord Qinyang had no intention of eliminating him.
After returning home, he began to recall the plot that was about to unfold.
The main purpose of the demon race's attack was to obtain the remains of the previous demon king.
One group launched a feint attack while another infiltrated, and they actually got their hands on the goods.
The city lord's mansion quickly reacted, and a group of people began to return to defend, including Yu Lingyue. There were three routes to return to defend.
The selection of soldiers and generals happened to fall on the very path where Yu Lingyue was located.
Yu Lingyue and her group were no match for them and were slaughtered. However, Yu Lingyue, as the protagonist, was not eliminated. She went into hiding, and the ones who died were all people from the City Lord's Mansion.
Then, the demon king opened champagne halfway through the match and launched the first attack, targeting Yin Kangxuehan, who had been injured midway.
After a final battle, the demon king was killed, and Yin Kangxuehan fled with serious injuries.
Yu Lingyue stumbled upon a bargain; the Demon King's storage bag was, strictly speaking, a great opportunity for her.
Not only did the storage bag contain many good things, but it also involved a certain place.
It was precisely because of the opportunity brought by that place that Yu Lingyue achieved the breakthrough of the Heavenly Vein Foundation Establishment.
Since it hasn't happened yet, perhaps I could... take some action...
Because of the previous changes at the Ancient Spirit Ruins, Qin Yangjun has no intention of harming the Jade Feather Key now.
But he was very interested in this great opportunity...
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Yangjun had already sensed who the newcomers were, and he was just about to go find them anyway.
"Enter."
The two peak masters entered and bowed with clasped hands.
“Young master, we were too careless this time. If it weren’t for your keen insight, we would probably have already fallen into that monster’s trap. Please punish us, young master.”
The two of them were well aware that if the Enforcement Hall handled this matter, they would not only be dismissed from their posts, but might also be sent to mine.
They had heard about what happened at Qingluan Mountain before, and Qin Yangjun simply waved his hand and pardoned them, so Qingluan Mountain did not suffer any punishment.
Therefore, they decided to ask Qin Yangjun to accept their punishment in advance, hoping that the person in front of them would treat them leniently.
Qin Yangjun had no intention of punishing the two.
He was dumbfounded by the situation.
As for their claims of having "keen insight," he took them all as flattery.
"The responsibility for this punishment does not lie with you. If anyone should be punished, it should be Zhuang Hancheng. But now is not the time to talk about this. I remember you should have a map of the area around Canggu City, right?"
