Black Rock City, east of the Nine Cities Alliance.

City Lord's Mansion.

“Bang!”

The sound of heavy slaps echoed in the city lord's hall, extremely loud.

A group of soldiers with extraordinary momentum, some angry, some disdainful, and some solemn, all stared at a dark-skinned young man standing in the center.

In front of the young man stood a tall middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked stern and indifferent at the young man.

He was the one who gave me that slap just now.

"Father!"

Mi Feng ignored the burning pain on his face and shouted loudly.

"Don't call me father!"

The middle-aged man slapped him again, then turned around and walked back to the city lord's throne.

"I don't have a son like you. Go back to the arms of that woman in your Tianluan Palace."

"You want me to give in and surrender?"

"Humph, absolutely impossible!"

The city lord's angry voice echoed in the hall.

In the crowd, there was a thin middle-aged man with a long beard and a helpless look on his face.

It was Uncle Wen, the man who had brought Mi Feng to watch the battle of Yunxiao City.

"That's not surrender, Father!"

Mi Feng said loudly: "Why don't you go out and take a look? Now the entire eastern part of the Nine Cities Alliance is under the command of the Tianluan Palace!"

"Yunxiao City has long since become a holy land. Hundreds and tens of millions of monks have gathered outside, just to get closer to the holy land and seek blessings!"

"This is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to persuade his father to change his mind.

However, the Lord of Blackrock City just snorted lightly and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"Fuck your chance!"

"Fuck your luck!"

"Go to your mother's Tianluan Palace!"

"I have led Black Stone City to fight against bloodthirsty monsters and the world all my life. Even if I die, I will never surrender to a woman!"

The city lord's declaration immediately caused cheers from the soldiers.

These are real men who would rather die in battle than surrender.

Mi Feng lowered his head.

The sound of cursing was heard all around.

He couldn't understand why his father was unwilling to surrender when the gap in power between the two sides was so huge and Black Rock City had no chance of winning at all?

Why was he so stubborn that he was even willing to let all the people in Black Rock City be buried with him?

He couldn't understand.

But he had to persuade.

Because once the negotiations fail, the attack from Tianluan Palace will arrive immediately.

The reason why Black Rock City has been able to hold on until now is because Ye Huang has not taken any action against him because he is the son of the Black Rock City lord.

But now, the eastern part of the Alliance has been conquered, and only Blackrock City remains.

"Father!"

Mi Feng felt extremely helpless, even a little sad.

"We really don't have any chance. Just think about your mother, our family, and the soldiers who have fought with you throughout your life!"

He wanted to persuade her again.

However, the city lord looked indifferent.

"we?"

"We no longer exist between you and Black Rock City."

"Go back and tell your palace master that if you want to kill me, then come quickly and don't let me look down on her!"

Mi Feng took a step forward and wanted to say something else.

"Get lost!"

The city lord's angry shout made him stop.

What followed was the curses from all the soldiers.

Mi Feng had a miserable expression on his face, but he eventually walked out of the hall slowly amid curses.

A moment later, he stood on the city wall and looked at the sky in the distance.

A few dozen miles away is the base camp of the Tianluan Palace. Ye Huang is there, ready to attack Black Stone City at any time.

Mi Feng stood quietly.

In front of him was the palace master to whom he served, and also the beautiful figure in his dreams that he had loved for six years.

Behind him are his father, mother, and family.

And he was stuck in the center.

Advance or retreat, a dilemma.

He couldn't bear to watch Ye Huang lead his troops to destroy Black Rock City.

But there was no way to persuade my father to return to Tianluan Palace.

He really didn't know what to do.

Maybe I shouldn't have followed Uncle Wen to Yunxiao City that year.

Perhaps after the Battle of Yunxiao is over, I should return to Blackrock City and inherit the position of city lord.

In that case, at least he wouldn't have to endure the torment he's experiencing now.

But everything cannot start over again.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed.

Perhaps, only in that way can we be free...

...

In the spacious tent, Ye Huang looked solemn as he stared at the Black Stone City on the map.

Suddenly, Feng Zhi came in and came to her side.

"Palace Master, how about... let's try another method."

Ye Huang said coldly: "I have been very merciful. Before my father comes back, I must completely pacify the east!"

"What if Black Stone City refuses to surrender?" Feng Zhi said.

"Then wipe them out completely. It's not like we haven't massacred a city before." Ye Huang's eyes were cold.

"Komifeng... has been our companion for many years after all."

Ye Huang was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I believe him."

After some time.

"Palace Master."

A voice sounded outside the tent.

Afterwards, Jiang Fei walked over from outside the tent.

She had a complicated expression and was holding a roll of cloth in her hand.

Blood seeped out from the cloth, flowed through her fingers, and dripped onto the ground.

"What's going on?" Ye Huang frowned immediately. She had a bad feeling.

Jiang Fei sighed.

"Mi Feng..."

She didn't finish her words, but handed over the blood-stained cloth.

Ye Huang took the strip of cloth and slowly opened it.

Inside was a letter written in blood.

"Palace Master, six years ago, I have..."

The letter is long and the handwriting is neat.

But as Ye Huang watched, her hands couldn't help but begin to tremble slightly.

Her face was expressionless, but her eyes were constantly changing.

"...I just hope you can let my mother go."

This is the end of the letter.

The person who signed the signature was Mi Feng.

"Where are the others?" Ye Huang asked in a low voice.

Jiang Fei pursed her lips and said, "He... cut himself off under the city wall."

"Blah!"

Ye Huang placed the letter on the table, but failed to control his strength and crushed the entire table.

"I just...let him negotiate."

"Why... did it turn out like this!?"

A black aura began to float in Ye Huang's eyes.

She took a step forward, but her footing was unsteady and she almost fell.

Feng Zhi and Jiang Fei quickly supported her.

"Palace Master, are you okay?"

Ye Huang pushed the two people away, and the dark aura in his eyes became stronger.

At the center of the eyebrows, several petals representing the strongest sword intent were restless!

"I just want my father to see my achievements."

"I really didn't want him to die!"

Suddenly, a violent aura exploded from Ye Huang, directly shattering the camp full of formations!

An evil black aura emanated from Ye Huang's eyes and quickly spread.

Feng Zhi and the other man were both stunned. They could see that something was wrong with Ye Huang.

"Palace Master!"

They tried to wake Ye Huang up, but to no avail.

The evil aura became stronger and stronger, carrying a strong smell of blood, and began to dance wildly, making it difficult for both of them to get close!

The terrifying sword intent between Ye Huang's eyebrows became more and more restless.

Feng Zhi was terrified. If that kind of sword power was unleashed, most of the people present would be killed or injured instantly!

But that evil aura was invading too quickly, and there was no time to stop it!

The sword intent was about to burst out.

Suddenly, a small hand reached out from the void.

The index finger pointed precisely at the center of Ye Huang's eyebrows.

The blue waves, centered on her index finger, instantly swept across her entire body, extinguishing the violent black evil.

Ye Huang's body tilted and he fell to the ground.
