High Martial Arts Start with Ant Talent Fusion

After the great battle ended, Jianghai City descended into jubilation. With the suppression of powerful generals, everything was developing in an orderly manner.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Fang Fan was waiting anxiously.

He didn't know what the outcome would be, but he hoped that Grandma Qin Shuang could bring the city lord back.

This is not just his wish, but the wish of the entire Jianghai City.

At that moment, Fang Fan suddenly felt a pang of grief. At the same time, everyone in Jianghai City felt a sudden tightness in their chests, as if something important had been lost.

I stopped drinking and eating, and when I drew my sword, I looked around in bewilderment.

Feeling lost and helpless...

They didn't know what had happened.

"City Lord..."

Teng Xingwen was also feeling very frustrated. Suddenly, he thought of the city lord who had been taken away by War God Fang Fan, and he immediately felt uneasy. His speculations became uncontrollable.

Could it be...?

Please don't let it be...

Teng Xingwen panicked, his breathing became unsteady, and he transformed into golden light and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion. He wished he could go even faster. It was Teng Xingwen's muttering to himself that made everyone around him realize what was going on.

Everyone felt as if the sky had fallen, and their hearts were empty.

Please, I hope nothing bad happens to that upright and strong old man...

Some were praying, some were kneeling and begging, and some even started crying after just hearing these words.

Inside the city lord's mansion, a stream of light suddenly rushed out of the room and entered Fang Fan's soul sea.

It was none other than the Soul Nourishing Tower!

At this moment, even if Fang Fan pretended to be deaf and dumb, he had no choice but to face the reality and could no longer hold back, so he rushed into the room.

"Lord City Lord!!!"

Fang Fan's eyes welled up with tears. He saw the city lord lying peacefully on the bed, a faint smile on his lips. But for Fang Fan, that smile was incredibly cruel.

Gu Ming, the lord of Jianghai City, has passed away!

An elderly man, over fifty years old, who had suppressed Jianghai City, passed away after resolving the city's greatest crisis...

Fang Fan's aura vanished instantly. He could no longer hold on and knelt down in front of Gu Ming. Although the city lord was not his master, he had been protected by the city lord all the way. Without the city lord, Fang Fan would not be where he is today.

He has become both a teacher and a father figure to us.

This old man gave everything for the entire Jianghai City, even his own life.

"Rest in peace, Ancient..."

Fang Fan let out a mournful cry and bowed his head deeply.

Meanwhile, far away in the secret realm of Dragon City, Fang Dao had tears in his eyes. He knew his master was gone...

"Master, please forgive your unfilial son for not being able to be there for you in your final moments..."

"When my disciple emerges from seclusion, I will surely slay the demon king and offer him as a sacrifice."

Fang Dao muttered to himself, but his voice attracted some terror hidden in the darkness. The blue protective shield surrounding them was about to break under the weight.

This change alarmed some being, who immediately blazed with blue light, thus blocking the attack.

"Fang Dao, calmly experience the opportunity."

"Never get distracted..."

"Otherwise, not only you, but also your companions outside who are buying you time will perish here."

The voice suddenly rang out from somewhere, but after hearing these words, Fang Fan suppressed his grief and indignation, slowly closed his eyes, and once again entered into cultivation.

Meanwhile, outside the city lord's mansion in Jianghai City, the town generals arrived one after another. Upon hearing Fang Fan's mournful cries, they immediately disregarded their dignity as powerful town generals and burst into tears.

She staggered to the front of the city lord's room, knelt down with her head bowed, tears already soaking her body.

"grown ups..."

The city lord has no children, and these town generals have practically been raised by him; at this moment, they are the city lord's children.

Not only them, but the entire Jianghai City is also the City Lord's child!

Qin Shuang's eyes also welled up with tears. Looking at the scene before her, she felt a pang of sadness at the loss of her old friend, as well as a sense of resentment. Why did the old man have to say those words now of all times?

If you survive, that's fine, but why leave me with this memory?

"If you hadn't made that decision back then, maybe our child would be this old by now..."

Gu Ming and Qin Shuang were lovers when they were young, but the human race wanted to abandon Jianghai City, which was where Gu Ming grew up. At that time, he even turned against the higher-ups in order to protect Jianghai.

Both of them were stubborn. Qin Shuang chose not to return with Gu Ming because of her cultivation, so Gu Ming abandoned her and returned here alone.

If both of them had been able to compromise back then, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Before I came here, I was still blaming you for making that decision back then.

"But now it seems like there isn't so much hatred anymore..."

"I rarely praise people, but I have to say, Lao Gu, you did the right thing..."

I'm proud of you.

Looking at Jianghai City now, and those people crying and complaining outside, Qin Shuang felt that everything Gu Ming had done was worthwhile.

Putting aside her sadness, she has more important things to do at this stage of her life.

Qin Shuang walked out of the room, and the many powerful generals of the town also sensed this stranger. They were puzzled, but before they could ask, they saw the old woman in front of them spread her aura.

Its momentum far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even the city lord is far inferior.

It seems the high-ranking members of the human race have arrived...

Suddenly, everyone had a sudden realization.

"In the year 126 of the Calamity, Gu Ming, the city lord of Jianghai City, was wounded in a decisive battle with the Demon King. Although he killed the Demon King, his injuries were too severe, and he passed away!"

"Based on the dying wish of Gu Ming, the city lord of Jianghai City, and after discussions with the high-ranking members of the human race, the position of city lord of Jianghai City will be passed to Fang Fan, the master of the Wind and Fire Pavilion!"

"The whole city mourns..."

Qin Shuang's voice spread throughout the City Lord's Mansion, and even the entire Jianghai City.

Instantly, everyone heard the news.

In that instant, everyone turned to look in the direction of the city lord.

"Thump!"

Kneeling on both knees, whether they were martial artists or ordinary people, they all wanted to send off the city lord on his final journey in their own way.

"My lord...may you rest in peace..."

The sound echoed throughout Jianghai City, and everyone was immersed in grief.

Some wept bitterly, some beat their chests and wailed, some embraced each other and cried, and some secretly wiped away their tears.

Perhaps if Gu Ming were alive today, seeing this scene would bring him comfort. This is Jianghai City, the city he protected, the people he was willing to dedicate his life to protecting.
