C216 The Wind and Clouds Surged
"This..."
Jiang Miao looked at the scene in front of her and gritted her teeth. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
He died just like that? There was no longer any divine light in Guo Yue's eyes. The corpse even began to emit a stench. It must have been some time since he died.
In that case, what Lin Rann said was true. She held back her tears and closed her eyes to take a deep breath. She turned around and sobbed. I, I know. This matter..."
Halfway through her words, she finally couldn't hold back her immense sorrow and started crying. She reached out her hand to wipe her tears and quickly ran out.
Lin Rann, who was standing in the room, frowned and did not chase after her. He let her be quiet for a while. He turned around and looked at Guo Yue's corpse. The disgust in his eyes increased.
Mingke. If this person stayed any longer, he would definitely be a scourge. He had to find an opportunity to get rid of her.
The sun was setting in the west, and the night was gradually approaching.
There was a dilapidated wooden house in the outskirts of the noisy town. This place originally looked like a temple, but now it was in ruins, and there were no more incense offerings.
At this time, the dark clouds covered the moon, and the temple was so dark that one could not even see their fingers in front of their eyes. But in this darkness, there were a total of four people who were either sitting or standing.
"Since everyone is here, I, this nameless soul, will be the one to lead the way. "
In the dark silence, the man who was leaning against the pillar suddenly took two steps forward and said to the people around him, "I'm sure all of you already know what happened today?"
" Yes. "
The man nodded and said, "I know what happened, but I don't know what happened."
"Keke..."
One by one, they responded. Everyone's gaze landed on the man who had spoken.
At this moment, the moonlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the face of the person who had spoken. This man was none other than the previous City Lord of West City City, City Lord Shen.
He had already taken off his big robe, which symbolized the dignity of the city lord, and changed into a black robe.
Gritting his teeth, City Lord Shen said in a deep voice, "There is no such thing as the sequence of events. Today is a good day for me. Who would have thought that Lin Rann, that bastard, would lead his men to our city-state? The first thing he said was to challenge my position as the City Lord. "
When the surrounding people saw him speak, they couldn't help but furrow their brows.
"Could it be that he brought too many people with him and forced you to give up the City Seal?"
Shaking his head, City Lord Shen sighed and raised his head to look at Mochizuki. He said resentfully, "It's because I'm not as good as him. Lin Rann didn't even attack. He only asked one of his subordinates to fight with me. Who would have thought that one of his subordinates..."
He couldn't continue his words no matter what.
"That's right."
Right after he finished speaking, someone walked out from the darkness, clapping his hands.
However, no matter how she walked, she was still hiding in the darkness, preventing the people around her from seeing her appearance.
"I have a grudge with Lin Rann for a long time. It has long been irreconcilable. His strength was definitely not ordinary. I dare to say that with his strength, the odds of everyone here fighting him won't be more than ten percent. "
Hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but sneer.
This person was an unfamiliar face that City Lord Shen had brought along. He did not know the background of this person, so how could he be trusted so easily?
"Two City Lords, this is a benefactor that I have met today. Her name was Mingke, and for some reason, she was unable to meet everyone. You must not take offense. I, Shen, can guarantee with my life that every word she says is true. "
At this time, City Lord Shen stood out and waved his hand," Today, besides Lin Rann coming to my West City to seize my City Lord, I will never let go of the Eastern City and West City in the future. In my opinion, the two City Lords should have made their plans long ago. "2
With that, the temple regained its peace.
After a while, someone said coldly, "Then you must have thought of something by calling us here today, City Lord Shen. "
City Lord Shen laughed twice and nodded, "I do have a plan. Please listen carefully."
He lowered his voice and took two steps forward.
The shadows of the trees swayed in the temple, and a cool breeze blew for an unknown period of time. Finally, someone laughed loudly and said, "City Lord Shen, you are a clever schemer. According to City Lord Shen, Lin Rann would have nowhere to escape. If that's the case, I, Dong Cheng, will listen to you this time. "
The man hiding on the other side was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Alright, since the City Lord of Dong Cheng City has said so, I, West City, can't fall behind."
Hearing his words, City Lord Shen finally relaxed his smile and laughed in the temple.
As long as he could kill Lin Rann, he would be able to take back the West City. As for the east city and the North City, not only did they get rid of Lin Rann, this major threat, they were also able to divide up the territory of the south city. It could be said that it was a win-win situation for both sides.
The next day, the cries in the Jiang Mansion shook the sky, but it did not affect the normal order. The servants and maids were still rushing to work, and they did not stop even half a step for Guo Yue, who had stopped in the middle of the coffin.
The one holding the coffin was only Jiang Miao. Along with the monks and Taoists who were hired around, it seemed to have some atmosphere.
"Quickly go and prepare. When we reach the place in a few days, don't embarrass me."
Jiang Miao, who was crying, suddenly heard a voice coming from another direction and her heart trembled. She quickly turned her head and saw Jiang Yanran being escorted out by more than ten men.
She saw Jiang Yanran smiling like a blooming flower and her heart ached like a knife being cut. Her anger was rising from the top of her head.
"Stop right there!"
She suddenly stood up and shouted angrily at Jiang Yanran, "Mother just passed away. Where are you going at this critical moment?"
Jiang Yanran was stunned by the roar and when she saw Jiang Miao, she immediately smiled in disdain. She gently walked a few steps forward and looked up and down at the mourning Jiang Miao and the coffin. Tsk tsk : "Third Sister, this is your fault."
"As our children, we should work hard to improve ourselves. I think this is also the wish of that dead mother of yours. If you cry here, can you increase your own cultivation base?"
After saying that, she turned around with a smile, waved her hand, and said disdainfully," I'm different. According to legends, a treasure has been born in the East District. I have to rush there as soon as possible. Maybe I'll encounter a great opportunity. "
These words made Jiang Miao very angry. She gritted her teeth and took a few steps forward. She wanted to grab Jiang Yanran and break her mouth.
"Stop! What did your sister say wrong? You have to hit her like this!"
Suddenly, a furious roar made Jiang Miao stand on the spot.
The one who walked out from the corner was none other than Jiang Hongcai.
He glared at Jiang Miao and shouted, "Look at you. What do you look like? Learn from your sister. She received the news last night. She said that an ancient spiritual weapon was born in the east side of the city. Today, she had to rush to meet the opportunity. If you can progress as fast as your sister, I don't need to worry about my hair turning white. "
