Li Yu was surprised to find that the eyes of this group of people were filled with fanaticism.

The way the ghosts of the underworld looked at him was exactly the same.

You can see from the eyes of these people a deep and sincere faith; they truly believe everything they say.

It wasn't because they were controlled by superpowers.

Li Yu was also taken aback when she saw this. It seems that the saying that everyone in Ningcheng has a "pure heart" is not unfounded.

This kind of worship of the Ye family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Ningcheng, and it is by no means just talk.

Li Yu bypassed the frenzied crowd and continued along the silk thread connecting Lu Fan, gradually leading him towards the city center.

Soon, Li Yu arrived directly beneath the strange boulder.

A tall building enveloped in powerful energy appeared before them.

What's strange is that there isn't a single window on the outside of this towering building.

Moreover, Li Yu also saw several other familiar threads extending from the building.

Just as Li Yu was about to step forward for a closer look, a sudden change occurred!

"boom--"

The tall building in front of them suddenly exploded, and a figure shot into the sky, hovering in mid-air.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent green robe, his face stern yet filled with shock and anger, who shouted loudly at the building:

"Li Yang! How dare you cause trouble in Ningcheng?!"

Li Yu hurriedly turned her head to look, and another figure slowly rose up.

It was Li Yang, the city lord of Yangcheng.

"Thieves are naturally afraid of their owners coming to their door."

Li Yang's body was surrounded by array formations, and his aura was astonishing, even stronger than when he was fighting for the dragon vein outside Qianyang City.

He hovered slowly in mid-air opposite the middle-aged man, his mocking laughter echoing throughout the city:

"And thieves never realize how important what they steal is to someone else."

"Ye Lingxiao! I'm afraid your Ye family has forgotten where this giant rock in Ningcheng came from! Do you really think it's yours?"

Ye Lingxiao?

Li Yu stared at the man in green robes again, and then realized that the middle-aged man in front of her was the city lord of Ningcheng.

"Stop slandering me!" Ye Lingxiao was furious and refused to acknowledge the origin of the boulder that Li Yang mentioned.

He then swung his hand forcefully downwards:

"Form ranks to defend against the enemy!"

Countless awakened beings rushed out of the building and immediately formed a battle formation.

"Formation complete!"

Seeing this, Li Yang mocked again, "Trying to use this trick against me?"

"A thief is a thief! Has your Ye family forgotten who came up with this trick?"

All the awakened beings in Zhongzhou thought that Ningcheng's formation was the most powerful, but no one would have thought that it was Li Yang who first invented it and that it was his specialty.

Li Yu, who was below, was stunned when he heard this. Then he suddenly realized why Li Yang was proficient in all kinds of formations, even the military formations, and could teach them to his Seventh Regiment in Yangcheng without any mistakes. He could even form a formation by himself. It turned out that all these battle formations were related to him.

On the other side of the building, a group of elderly men with restrained auras also quietly appeared. Although they all looked very old, their auras alone revealed that each of them was a powerful Awakened One.

The two men in the air started fighting again.

One of the elders stepped forward, about to help Ye Lingxiao, but was stopped by the elder at the front raising his hand:

"etc."

"Let them fight like dogs first. The Ye family has been a bit out of control lately. Why not let Ye Lingxiao face reality and realize that only our Changsheng Sect is his last resort?"

The group of elderly men then stopped and watched coldly from the sidelines.

The Changsheng Sect suddenly appeared in Ningcheng because they wanted to know the secret of Lu Fan's resurrection.

They joined forces with Ningcheng and mobilized all their experts, suffering heavy losses before finally managing to trap Lu Fan.

However, despite the enormous sacrifices, it has yet to be completely defeated.

Now that Li Yang has suddenly intervened and suppressed Ye Lingxiao, they don't plan to help immediately.

After all, if Ye Lingxiao were seriously injured as a result, it wouldn't conflict with them taking Lu Fan away; on the contrary, it would be extremely beneficial.

Li Yu's ears twitched, and she frowned as she looked over, also spotting the elderly people.

He thought to himself, "I didn't expect Ningcheng to be so lively. Not only did I, the Star Lord, come, but the Changsheng Sect and Liyang Sect also participated."

Further away, a large number of awakened individuals from the Ningcheng Thunder Bureau headquarters had also arrived, but remained stationary not far away.

The Ye family member who brought them there became anxious upon seeing this and immediately shouted angrily:

"Hurry up, what are you looking at!"

Everyone in Thunder Bureau looked at the person at the very front, and a squad leader couldn't help but step forward and whisper a reminder:

"Judge Lan, the city lords are fighting."

"I saw it." The team leader, Judge Blue, remained expressionless and unmoved, standing in place.

The Ye family members were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something. Their faces filled with terror and lingering fear, and they couldn't help but sternly rebuke Judge Lan:

"Lan Xing! Do you know what you're doing?"

“Of course I know,” Judge Lan said in a low voice.

Before he could finish speaking, Judge Duan, who had been standing behind the Ye family, suddenly attacked, his sharp blade piercing through Ye's chest.

"Well..."

The Ye family member turned around with difficulty, only to see Judge Duan, whom the Ye family had sent to check and balance the Thunder Bureau.

"You...traitors..." The Ye family members collapsed in disbelief.

"The Thunder Bureau is ordered to wipe out the Ye family's traitors." Judge Duan flicked his blade, blood splattering everywhere.

The Thunder Bureau members behind him appeared unusually calm, clearly having long been prepared to rebel against the Ye family and were just waiting for this day.

"Quickly, seize this opportunity to find Lord Lu Fan," Lan Xing ordered swiftly.

No one could have imagined that Ningcheng's Thunder Bureau would betray the Ye family at such a crucial moment.
