A villa in the capital city.
In the luxurious living room, five figures sat around a tea table.
The tea was brewed, its fragrance filling the air, but no one was in the mood to pick up their teacup.
Apart from Wang Qingxian and Xiao Shanke, the other five family heads are all here.
Cui Jiu was the first to speak, "If that mysterious general is indeed from the Imperial Capital Bureau, we have to consider what their intentions are."
Bai Mashan nodded in agreement, "There is no love without a reason in this world. He must have something to ask for in helping us. Either it's to target Xia Tianqiong, or he sees that we still have some value."
Hu Zizai continued, "Regardless of their purpose, if they succeed, all will be well. If they fail, it will definitely enrage Xia Tianqiong, and then the Wang and Xiao families will be pushed out to take the blame."
The five families had no good intentions when they initially supported the Wang and Xiao families.
Although it is now the end times, the ancient family has always cared a great deal about its reputation.
Fortunately, the things Lian did in various places are likely to leave a lasting stain on their reputation. If the world ever finds out that they are related to their ancient family, then the Wang and Xiao families will have to take the blame.
It's being used ahead of schedule now.
The five discussed the matter for a while longer before hastily disbanding.
They agreed to stay in the capital for the time being and return to their respective locations after resolving the troubles.
Otherwise, if they encounter Xia Tianqiong's army in any location, they're doomed.
After Huang Kun left, he arrived at a courtyard house.
Pushing open the door, I saw a slender figure training with an iron ball in her hands.
This iron ball is over one meter in diameter and weighs more than eight tons.
Previous world weightlifting champions could only lift a few hundred kilograms, which is child's play compared to this man.
Hearing a noise behind him, the man turned around and saw Huang Kun's daughter, Huang Liyun.
"Dad, is something wrong?"
This is where Huang Liyun and Huang Yiman live; Huang Kun doesn't come here often.
Looking at his increasingly strong daughter, Huang Kun was filled with satisfaction. "There's something I need you to do, and Yi Man too. You two go together."
Bang!
Huang Liyun put down the huge iron ball, which made the ground tremble.
She approached quickly, her face beaming with excitement. "Are you asking me to go hunt down the strange creatures?"
"Don't kill the monster. You two go find someone."
Huang Kun shook his head, then called out to the east wing, "Yi Man, come out for a moment."
Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yiman ran out with a book in her hand, "Dad, is there anything you need us to do?"
Huang Kun's two twin daughters are quite different; one is thin and the other is slightly chubby, one is lively and the other is quiet. Each has her own unique characteristics.
"I want you to go to an ancient city that floats in the air, to find Xia Tianqiong, and to thank him."
Upon hearing the name Xia Tianqiong, the two sisters reacted completely differently.
Huang Yiman smiled, a little excited.
Huang Liyun trembled slightly, remembering that she had died once because of that man. Although he had saved her life, she was still a little afraid of him.
"Why should we thank him? Aren't the people of Xinglian being besieged and killed by his bizarre army?"
Huang Kun laughed and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you two, nor does it have much to do with our Huang family. You can now fight against the fierce monster with your own strength. This is an opportunity given to you by Xia Tianqiong. We should be thanking him."
Huang Liyun raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of disbelief.
She knows her father too well; he would never do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.
After Xia Tianqiong saved her life, her body underwent a strange change, gaining extraordinary physical strength and being able to cultivate Netherworld Power like a ghost, and even increase her level.
The power of the underworld she now possesses has reached the level of the monstrous and malevolent, allowing her to fight against monstrous beings one-on-one even without relying on contracted monsters.
It can be said that Huang Liyun is now a half-human, half-monster being with considerable strength.
After analysis by Mr. Huang Kun and Mr. Guang Wen, it was concluded that what happened to her was likely an unexpected coincidence, and that even Xia Tianqiong herself might not have known about it.
"After you find Xia Tianqiong, tell him everything that happened to you, and then give him 100 million ghost money as a thank-you gift from me."
As Huang Kun spoke, he took out a spatial ring from his pocket and added, "Whether or not you can see Xia Tianqiong, stay there for now. Don't come back without my call."
Huang Liyun accepted the ring with a surprised expression.
He immediately realized that his father wanted to use this past relationship to secure a future for the Huang family.
Without further ado, Huang Kun immediately arranged for five fierce demons to escort the two sisters to the location of the floating city.
After his two daughters left, Huang Kun looked up at the sky and sighed, "No matter who wins or loses, I hope my Huang family can escape this calamity."
...
Xia Tianqiong returned to the Floating City from the Wujian Restaurant, handed Song Shiqiao over to the deliveryman Gui, and then left her alone.
He and the ghost bride rested in the city for half a day before setting off again.
This time, we're going to capture Li Gui and Gui Jiang.
If they wait for the nine armies to capture him, there might not be enough time. Besides, Xia Tianqiong also wants to put his skills to the test and see how he performs now.
Those evil spirits and generals who had visited the Wujian Restaurant were marked by the three evil kings, who could find them by sensing their presence.
Shangui City is located on a small island in the southeastern coastal region.
There were 210,000 people before the apocalypse, and there are still over 100,000 today.
In this era rife with strange occurrences, it is truly remarkable that more than half of the population has survived.
Summer Sky and the Ghost Bride walked down the street, looking around, their doubts growing stronger.
Pedestrians strolled along the street, a few vehicles drove by, and some shops on both sides were open for business.
Although it's not as prosperous as it was before the apocalypse, it's still much better than other cities.
