"Wow, my poor Lian'er. She went into the city half a month ago and hasn't been back since. She must have been assassinated by that beast. Folks, Chu Qinghong is not worthy of being our city lord. As long as he's around, who knows how many innocent girls he'll kill. We must drive him out of office and not let him be the city lord anymore."
"My daughter also went missing in the city a month ago. I reported it to the authorities, but they didn't care. It must be that bastard's doing. He's not fit to be our city lord."
"Give me back my daughter's life... wuwu..."
An old lady took a few eggs from a basket that she was going to sell in the city. Thinking of her daughter who had been missing for a long time, she got so angry that she threw the eggs directly at Chu Qinghong's head.
Under normal circumstances, they really wouldn't dare to treat the city lord like this.
In the hearts of the common people, the city lord is their heaven.
But today, after learning that the city lord was a bad man with a beastly heart, the people exploded.
Starting with the lady who threw eggs, all kinds of vegetables were thrown at Chu Qinghong without paying.
Chu Qinghong could have blocked these things.
But at this moment he didn't dare.
Because Feng Qing was looking down at him condescendingly.
The long sword in Feng Qing's hand was pointing at his throat.
If he dared to act rashly, his throat would be pierced in the next second.
After realizing that he was no match for Feng Qing, he became afraid.
His own cultivation talent was limited. Relying on various medicinal herbs to reach the middle stage of the Golden Core realm was already his limit. However, he was unwilling to see his cultivation stagnate, and he didn't want to give up the position of City Lord. When he dreamed that the Nightmare Killer wanted to cooperate with him, he agreed without hesitation.
He had been doing this secretly for several years. His cultivation level had risen rapidly. As his cultivation level grew and his strength increased, he not only retained his position as city lord, but also gained the envy and respect of other city lords.
He thought that this kind of life would continue forever, and when he broke through the late Nascent Soul stage and ascended to other planes, he would have more cultivation resources and could bring his family with him.
Who knew that everything would come so suddenly.
Not only did he lose his daughter, he was also defeated, and even such a hidden matter was exposed.
Whenever Chu Qinghong thought about his ruined future, he wanted to kill Feng Qing and Xiao Qingran.
It was because of these two people that everything he had was ruined.
But he was also very clear that he relied on the furnace to practice and his level increased too quickly. His cultivation base had improved, but his true strength could only be tied with a strong man in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, not to mention Feng Qing in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
If I don't take action, I might be able to scare everyone with my level.
When they really started fighting, his weaknesses were exposed.
Now, he really didn't want to just surrender like that.
"City Lord Chu, those who do evil will eventually perish. Do you want me to do it myself? Or do you want to end it yourself?"
After all, he was the lord of a city, so Feng Qing didn't kill him directly. He planned to leave him a little dignity.
Chu Qinghong's face was terribly gloomy.
Suicide? No way, he didn't want to die.
However, at this time, he didn't know who to ask for help.
Ever since the alliance to exterminate the Nightmare Beasts emerged, he had kept a low profile, not wanting to be exposed for his connection to the Nightmare Beasts.
If his former friends knew that his strength came from the Nightmare Beast, they probably wouldn't have saved him no matter how good their relationship was.
He did not regret making a contract with the nightmare beast, he only hated that his identity was exposed so quickly.
If his daughter had not been killed by Xiao Qingran, none of this would have happened. He would still have the position of city lord firmly in his hands.
So, it’s all the fault of this woman Xiao Qingran.
This woman is the culprit of everything.
Even if he dies, he will take someone with him.
Thinking of this, City Lord Chu's eyes became even gloomier.
He glanced at the people around him and sneered, "You're just a junior, it's not your turn to attack me. I'll end it myself."
Hearing him say this, Feng Qing's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at him, and he put away the sword that was pointing at him.
Waiting for him to end his life, but he did not relax his vigilance against him.
The onlookers watched this scene excitedly.
But Xiao Qingran felt that it was not that simple.
How could a man who, in order to improve his cultivation, did not hesitate to collude with a nightmare beast to harm a woman commit suicide so easily?
Even if he was forced into a desperate situation, Xiao Qingran didn't think he would really sit there and wait for death.
Sure enough, when Chu Qinghong took out his sword and prepared to commit suicide, the tip of his sword suddenly turned and attacked Xiao Qingran with a cold murderous aura.
Seeing that Xiao Qingran was unable to dodge, Feng Qing on the side was also unable to block the fatal blow for Xiao Qingran.
Just when Chu Qinghong thought that Xiao Qingran would surely die under his sword, a white light flashed, and a white figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Qingran.
Ah Bai just waved his hand lightly and Chu Qinghong was thrown out.
"puff……"
Everyone just saw Ah Bai swinging it lightly and thought he didn't use much strength.
Unexpectedly, when Chu Qinghong landed, he smashed the ground into a half-meter-deep human-shaped crater. Chu Qinghong was completely embedded in the crater, with blood constantly oozing out of his mouth.
This scene made the onlookers drop their eyes in shock.
Shangguan Jing stared at Abai with her mouth wide open, unable to understand where Abai had appeared from.
Only Feng Qing remained calm.
He was absolutely certain that Xiao Qingran must have signed a contract with Abai. Abai should usually be in the contract space.
When Xiao Qingran was in danger, Ah Bai appeared. This means Ah Bai has always been there.
"You dare to attack her? Are you looking for death?"
Ever since she transformed into a human, Ah Bai had always been very gentle. But at this moment, her eyes were filled with hostility.
The way he looked at Chu Hong was as if he was looking at a dying person.
However, just as Abai was about to kill Chu Qinghong directly, an anxious voice came from inside the city gate.
"Wait a minute, young lady."
Everyone looked at the newcomer.
"Senior Brother Chongshan?"
A man with a square face, delicate features, and a slightly muscular build, followed by three young men and three young women, a group of seven hurriedly approached from the city gate.
Hearing Shangguan Jing's voice, the man suddenly looked at her.
"Junior Sister Shangguan, why are you here?"
Shangguan Jing pulled Xiao Qingran over to Chongshan and said with a smile, "I also want to ask you, Senior Brother. I heard that you joined the alliance to eliminate the Nightmare Beast in Fire City. But I didn't see you. How did you end up here?"
Chongshan was about to speak when his eyes fell on Xiao Qingran's face. The next second, a faint blush appeared on his honest face.
He stammered, "I, I came here with a few fellow apprentices from Jingyu Immortal Sect. As soon as we entered the city, we heard about City Lord Chu."
The three men and three women behind him immediately greeted Shangguan Jing.
