Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"I was wrong, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have broken my promise to Lin Yaoxie."

As soon as he finished shouting, his voice transformed into sound waves that traveled to every corner of the city, some so faint as to be barely visible. The waves flew out of the giant city and were heard by powerful beings dozens of miles away.

"Hey, did you hear that? Who's shouting?" The people in Haicheng were busy with their own things when they were suddenly startled by this voice.

"Damn, that voice sounds like the city lord's. What's going on? Why would the city lord suddenly shout something like that?" One of the city's residents had heard the city lord's voice before and remembered it vividly. He recognized it immediately.

The surrounding people were stunned. My God, what image did the guardian hold in their hearts? It was an omnipotent, tall and majestic protector, the guardian of this giant city spanning 10 li.

The leader.

When has he ever made a mistake? In their hearts, Haicheng is an all-powerful god, high above them all.

Otherwise, this giant city couldn't be named after its lord.

"Good heavens, what's going on? Why would our city lord suddenly issue such a public apology? This is a huge humiliation for our city lord!"

Among the loyal users of Haicheng in the city, there was a belief that the city lord must have been forced into saying such a thing.

But others disagreed:

"Oh, don't talk nonsense. In this Haicheng, who can stand up to the city lord? And who can force him to say such humiliating words? I guess the city lord really did something wrong and sincerely repented."

"That's what I think too. Our city lord is such a righteous person. Publicly apologizing is nothing shameful. To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

As a result, the people around began to believe that the city lord was wise and benevolent, which was why he did something that would damage his own reputation.

However, powerful beings hundreds of thousands of miles away do indeed understand each other's thoughts.

Not only does Haicheng lack this awareness, but she's not that kind of person either. Besides, who in a high position would be willing to say such defamatory things about themselves? Even if they were truly wrong, they would only make the same mistake again and again. How could they possibly apologize publicly to Haicheng like this?

"What's wrong with Haicheng? He's so old. What's he doing in his own Haicheng?" said one of Haicheng's friends.

"I don't know, but who is this Lin Yaoxie he's talking about? How can he have such great power that he made Hai Dacheng apologize? I'm quite interested in this Lin Yaoxie."

As soon as Haicheng shouted those words, the dark clouds in the sky instantly disappeared. The sky was clean and clear, as if the dark clouds and blood-red clouds had never been there.

Hai Cheng hadn't expected that his prestige in the city would be greatly diminished after he said that, but instead he felt the power of will attached to him was even stronger.

Originally, the power of faith was balanced because the number of people in the city who believed in him was fixed. Only a sudden increase or decrease in the number of believers would cause the power of faith to fluctuate.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Unexpected

Such a situation would be absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, but there is an exception: when the person being worshipped suddenly does something that brings great happiness to everyone, the people's faith in her increases significantly, which leads to a surge in the power of the vow.

But wasn't he just saying something that humiliated himself? Why would it increase other people's faith in him?

Haicheng suddenly felt like he didn't understand the world anymore. He also didn't understand the people he had been governing.

To Lin Yaoxie's surprise, his name was mentioned in the words Hai Cheng had just shouted, and many powerful figures had heard them. Lin Yaoxie was still basking in the satisfaction of his revenge on Hai Cheng. He was unaware that he had been targeted by many influential figures.

"Daddy!"

Hai Linglan cried out in concern and rushed over to support Hai Cheng, who had just fallen from 783 and was now charred beyond recognition.

Fortunately, Haicheng has already attained sainthood, making him impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. Even when facing lightning tribulations, he has a certain ability to cope.

If this tribulation hadn't been so abnormal, with his blessed life and the blessing of Haicheng's vows, the lightning wouldn't have been able to harm him in the slightest.

Haicheng was only slightly bruised on the surface; his injuries were not fundamentally damaged, and his condition was not as severe as it appeared.

However, this abnormal lightning tribulation still caused him some damage. He cannot use a lot of spiritual power in the short term, otherwise his current body will not be able to withstand the surge of spiritual power in his body, and he may even explode and die.

There is a clear dividing line between saints and ordinary cultivators: saints have cultivated the bodies of true cultivators. At higher levels, saints are merely at the most basic level of cultivation, and their bodies are the weakest.

Although the sea city where Lin Yaoxie landed was a fairly large city, it was still insignificant compared to the truly giant cities in this world, and could only be considered as a small village.

In a true megacity, characters with childhood memories can command the wind and rain, shatter mountains and rivers with a wave of their hand, and some can even travel through the river of time at will.

It can be said that the city where Lin Yaoxie descended was just a starting point on his long journey, a beginner's village.

"I need to rest. I'll be going into seclusion for the next few days," Haicheng said weakly.

Hai Linglan's eyes were filled with tears; she felt extremely sorry for her father.

"Okay, don't worry. I'll take good care of Haicheng while you're gone."

Haicheng nodded.

But at this point, Lin Yaoxie was not satisfied.

"What about my wedding with Alan? You're not going to use that as an excuse to delay it, are you?"

Hai Cheng frowned; he did indeed want to delay a little longer.

Even if he had agreed and had to comply, he still hoped to delay as much as possible.

If Lin Yaoxie and Hai Linglan get married, then he will have a suitable identity to be involved in Haicheng's affairs.

Furthermore, they can use their legitimate identity to mobilize resources in Haicheng.

Who knows if this kid will take the opportunity to empty Haicheng? So he still wants to delay a little longer and let him move the supplies.

What he ended up with was a poor Haicheng.

Haicheng's plan was brilliant, but fate had other plans.

Chapter Twenty-Three: No Disloyalty Allowed

Just as he was congratulating himself on figuring out what to do, the dark cloud that had just dissipated began to condense again.

Haicheng City has been criticized, and the mere sight of it evokes a conditioned reflex of fear, as if another bolt of lightning might pierce through it.

"Tomorrow! We'll get engaged tomorrow and married the day after!" Haicheng said.

Lin Yaoxie found this extremely troublesome, and asked with a gloomy face:

"I want to get married tomorrow, no engagement needed."

Haicheng moved his lips slightly. Then, the dark clouds began to flash with lightning and thunder.

"to make!"

And so it was settled, the wedding of Lin Yaoxie and Hai Linglan was to be held tomorrow.

Does Hai Linglan still have any? Just now his father objected, but suddenly, he's getting married to Brother Lin tomorrow?

This change came too quickly; it couldn't adapt.

Heller's eyes were practically bleeding from staring, yet he still tried to stop her.

"No, Lord City Lord, you can't entrust the princess to this boy! He'll ruin the princess and Haicheng!"

Hai Cheng glared at him. Good heavens, was he still not satisfied with his tribulation? How could he possibly resist? Even if he was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

This is his own daughter who got married. He's the one who's most heartbroken, okay?

Haileyun saw the city lord's unfriendly expression. He was initially somewhat intimidated, but the thought of the princess falling into the hands of such people still filled him with resentment. Just as he was about to speak again, Lin Yaoxie stopped him.

"Alright, General Hai, if you continue to stop this, you'll be suspected of plotting against the city lord. I think the city lord has always treated you well, but you've treated him like your own son, and now at this crucial moment, you want to kill him."

Heller hurriedly defended himself:

"No, I didn't. I just didn't want the princess to marry a scoundrel like you. I didn't mean to harm the city lord."

Lin Yaoxie gave a long "oh," clearly indicating that he didn't believe it.

"Then you should think about it. Anyway, Chengdu has already agreed that if he breaks the agreement, he will pay with his life. If you still want to sacrifice the city lord's life for your princess's so-called happiness, that would be disloyalty! Besides, who told you that I can't give Hai Linglan happiness?"

Lin Yaoxie didn't finish his sentence, displaying a completely victorious demeanor.

0oooo Requesting flowers.

He knew that Heller would never resist.

Sure enough, Heller moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something in protest, but when she saw Hailinglan's lovesick expression, she couldn't help but sigh and say nothing.

When they are all wrong, he, the only one who is right, is wrong.

Haile Yun sighed deeply, gave Hai Linglan a profound look, then turned and left dejectedly, leaving them with only a bleak silhouette.

Hai Linglan still doesn't understand why Hai Leyun insisted on stopping her marriage to Brother Lin. It wasn't until the unexpected events on their wedding day that she realized Hai Leyun truly cared for her and her father.

Because he later learned that Lin Yaoxie was actually a major villain, and if he hadn't absorbed his father's power at the beginning, he would never have been able to leave Haicheng.

Even if they really rejected Lin Yaoxie, and Haicheng really did sacrifice himself, the world would be rid of Lin Yaoxie, this bad guy, and Hai Linglan's ending wouldn't be so tragic. Perhaps everything could start over.

Chapter Twenty-Four: On the Eve of the Wedding (Part One)

Heller left quietly by himself. Since he couldn't control him, he didn't want to anymore.

Even if he had to watch his beloved princess marry that scoundrel tomorrow, he could only accept it with a smile. And he would also have to make arrangements for the guards tomorrow.

Because the wedding was arranged so hastily, and no one was notified in advance, only a few elders and some relatives will be attending tomorrow's wedding banquet.

"Seven, eight, seven," Hai Linglan helped her father leave, and before leaving, she turned back to give Lin Yaoxie a tender look.

Lin Yaoxie gave him a wicked smile, and Hai Linglan's face turned red again.

"Host, we can absorb Haicheng's power now. Why didn't you absorb it earlier?" the Dark System Assistant asked.

He had to help Lin Yaoxie grow up quickly so that his abilities would become stronger.

He didn't want any difficulties for Lin Yaoxie when he started.

Lin Yaoxie watched the departing figures of the father and daughter, smiled, and said:

"What's the rush? Haicheng will be mine sooner or later anyway. Forget about his skills. We'll go to the wedding banquet tomorrow in a grand and aboveboard manner. We'll also make them acknowledge that I am the new city lord of Haicheng."

"Brilliant!" the Dark System Assistant exclaimed.

As expected of the villain he chose, he even does things with such style.

He not only wanted to gain more power in Haicheng, but also to seize the position of city lord and take over Haicheng as his own territory. In this way, he would have more rare and precious treasures to cultivate in the future.

Although this is just a small starting village in Lin Yaoxie's long journey, the resources in the starting village are now very abundant and have strong power. If you can obtain them, it will be a very considerable fortune.

Therefore, the Dark System Assistant is very supportive.

"You'll see what a show I put on tomorrow," Lin said with a wicked smile.

The next day was their wedding. Although Lin Yaoxie was quite confident about what would happen the next day, he still hoped for 100% success.

That very night, relying on his internal energy cultivation, he darted up and down the city lord's mansion, and also used the teleportation ability of the Dark System Assistant.

Finally, they arrived at the city lord's palace, which was twenty miles away from him.

Chengdu Palace is located on the highest mountain peak.
