Burning down Gongjiazhuang?

Master Gong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly put on a smile again and chuckled, "Miss, you really know how to joke."

The empire has just changed emperors, but that doesn't mean the strong can do whatever they want.

If Shangguan Hongyu really did that, the imperial court would not let her off the hook.

Shangguan Hongyu smiled and said loudly, "I'll give you half an hour to escape. After that, if you are burned to death when the fire starts, don't complain when you get to the King of Hell."

The voice echoed throughout the entire Gongjiazhuang village; these words were naturally addressed to the servants.

Shangguan Hongyu felt that those servants might have done many evil deeds because they abused their power, but if it really came down to burning down the Gong Family Village, they should still be given a chance.

If you escape now, you still have a chance to survive.

In a little while, even if they wanted to escape, they probably wouldn't be able to.

"Heroine, in that case, we shall meet again someday." Master Gong grinned.

Knowing that even if all the guards in the manor were combined, they couldn't defeat Shangguan Hongyu, Master Gong wasn't stupid and naturally thought of escaping.

Shangguan Hongyu chuckled and said, "Master Gong, you are the only one who cannot leave."

"Is this young lady determined to drive me to a dead end?" Master Gong asked coldly.

Shangguan Hongyu corrected her, "You chose this dead end yourself."

Master Gong frowned, knowing that if he wanted to live, he had to take a gamble.

Despite Shangguan Hongyu's forceful entry, completely destroying Gongjiazhuang will not be so easy.

Master Gong was only a Qi Condensation Level 1 cultivator. He had cultivated for his entire life, but could only barely succeed in Qi Refining, which was quite shameful.

But being able to become a cultivator means that he can use a storage bag.

A very exquisite storage bag was hanging from his waist.

With a gentle tap on the storage bag, a bamboo tube floated out.

Master Gong held the bamboo tube in his hand and laughed, "To be honest, the reason I was able to build this huge business is because I have a very powerful backer. You can still get out of here now. Once my backer arrives, you two will both die, and you will die a terrible death."

As he spoke, he opened the bamboo tube, and a burst of fire shot into the sky, exploding into an extremely beautiful firework high in the air.

The firework was shaped like a dragon and lingered for a long time.

Bian Lang, observing this, asked with a smile, "Is Master Gong seeking help from the East China Sea?"

The shape of the fireworks resembled a dragon, which led Bian Lang to make that guess.

Master Gong sneered, "Even if you want to escape now, it's probably too late."

“But killing you before we escape would still be easy,” Shangguan Hongyu said sarcastically.

Master Gong laughed loudly, "My son and I will be waiting for you on the road to the underworld."

The thought that Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu would soon die made Master Gong feel cheerful; even if they died now, it wouldn't matter.

Bian Lang said, "Then we can wait a bit longer, until your backer arrives, and then kill you and your backer together, so that you can die knowing why."

That's exactly what Master Gong was waiting for; otherwise, he wouldn't have said it on purpose.

Once the divine general from the East Sea arrives, it should be a very easy task for him to subdue Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu.

No matter how wealthy Gongjiazhuang is, it's impossible for them to have any connection with the Dragon King of the East Sea.

It is highly likely that Master Gong's backer is just a crab general.

For ordinary people, even just by attaching themselves to a crab general, they can become kings and tyrants in the local area.

Moreover, even if Ao Chi, the Dragon King of the East Sea, were to come, Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu would not be afraid in the slightest, since their purpose in coming to the East Sea was to target the Dragon Kings.

If Gongzhuang knew all this, he would have been terrified long ago.

Half a day after the fireworks exploded, a strange cry suddenly came from afar.

Upon hearing the call, Master Gong's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed excitedly, "They're here! They've finally arrived!"

In fact, the speed at which the mountain came was very fast, but because he was standing in front of death, Master Gong felt that time was passing very slowly.

Before the sound had even faded, a person swiftly appeared in the courtyard.

The man was dressed in silver and had a fish mark on his forehead.

This is a fish general.

Bian Lang's guess was correct; this fish was indeed the backer of Master Gong.

It was precisely because of this powerful backer that Master Gong was able to establish himself here.

"Immortal, you've finally arrived." Master Gong bowed respectfully to the fish general.

The fish general's face darkened, and his gaze swept over Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu as he asked, "Is it them?"

"Yes, it was them. They killed my son and even tried to burn down the Gong Family Manor." With the fish general in hand, the manor lord's tone became much firmer.

The fish watched the two men quietly, sensing that their auras were quite different from others. It asked in a deep voice, "Why do you do evil?"

"Since you're so familiar with Master Gong, don't you know who the real villain is?" Shangguan Hongyu retorted.

Master Gong said, "Immortal, why bother talking to them? Just kill them."

"Are you Ao Chi's subordinate?" Shangguan Hongyu asked again.

The fish replied, "That's right."

"Then I won't kill you yet. Go back and tell Ao Chi that my husband and I will soon go to retrieve His dragon head." Shangguan Hongyu wanted Yu Jiang to be a messenger.

But the fish clearly wouldn't do as Shangguan Hongyu expected. It suddenly stretched out its hands, and a trident appeared in its palms, stabbing at Shangguan Hongyu with a whoosh.

This time, Shangguan Hongyu did not make a move, but simply watched the fish general with a smile.

That eerie smile sent chills down Yu Jiang's spine. How could he possibly smile in the face of His attack?

Before he could even get close to Shangguan Hongyu, he felt a sharp pain in his lower body and collapsed to the ground.
