With Ji Shi dead, Long Aotian lost control and went completely mad, attacking the air frantically.
Lanxi stepped forward to try and subdue Long Aotian, but was stopped by Han Yijian, who was masked behind her.
"Leave it to me."
Han Yijian shook his head, his tone indifferent, seemingly not taking Ji Shi seriously at all.
"Huh? What are you going to do?!"
Lanxi frowned as she looked at the masked man in black robes.
Han Yijian did not answer. He stepped forward and placed his hand on Long Aotian's shoulder. Endless spiritual energy flowed into Long Aotian's body through his fingers.
Gradually, the previously deranged Long Aotian regained some of his human appearance.
“Take him back. As a genius of the human race, he deserves respect even in death.”
Xu Xiwang glanced at Lanxi, then turned and left.
Lanxi took a deep breath, staring at the black-robed man's back, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"you guess."
The man in black paused slightly, but continued walking away without hesitation.
Looking in the direction he left, Lanxi's eyes flickered, and she murmured, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, but I can't remember where."
You'll find out soon enough.
Han Yijian patted him on the shoulder, then carried Long Aotian's corpse and left.
"This person... is really strange."
Lanxi looked in the direction the two had left, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
......
"Open the city gates!"
Lanxi let out a loud shout at the city wall.
"Don't open it!"
A handsome young man with a scarred face on the city wall said in a deep voice, "Who knows if these people are spies from the Hundred Clans of the Sinful Land?"
"Zhou Feng, they just killed Ji Shi!"
Lanxi glared at him, her expression ferocious.
Hearing Lanxi's threatening words, Zhou Feng scoffed, "Lanxi, are you stupid? These people don't even dare to show their true faces, they're obviously up to something! Besides, killing Ji Shi in three moves? What a joke, that Ji Shi must be an imposter!"
"you!!"
Lanxi gritted her teeth, "I saw it with my own eyes!"
Zhou Feng scoffed, "Just because you saw it with your own eyes doesn't mean it's true?"
As he spoke, he pointed a finger at Lanxi: "Look at these guys for yourself, they're wearing cloaks and haven't even taken their clothes off, it's obvious something's fishy! You actually believe a few lies?"
Upon hearing this, Lanxi's pupils contracted sharply, and she stared intently at those people.
Indeed, from beginning to end, those people never took off their cloaks and never showed their true faces!
Could he really be a spy?!
But the sacrificial killer truly died right before his eyes!
"Open the door."
Lanxi took a deep breath and made a decisive decision.
"Hey, are you out of your mind?"
Zhou Feng sneered, "Lanxi, I now suspect that you have also surrendered to the Hundred Clans of the Sinful Land! No one is allowed to open the door!"
"Zhou Feng, are you trying to make me lose my temper?!"
Lanxi clenched her fists, radiating an icy aura that caused the air temperature to plummet, as if she had fallen into a deep, frigid abyss.
Feeling the icy chill, Zhou Feng's mockery deepened. "Lanxi, have you lost your mind after being beaten? You're throwing a tantrum now? Heh! Who do you think you are!"
With that, Zhou Feng waved his hand, "All of you, stand guard! No one is allowed to open the city gates, no matter who it is. Anyone who dares to break in will be killed on sight!"
The conflict between the two has escalated to a breaking point and is about to erupt.
Just as the two were arguing, a voice slowly rang out.
"Zhou Feng, open the door now, and I'll spare your life."
The voice was calm and even, without any fluctuation, yet it was this calmness that made everyone around feel their hearts pound.
Lanxi and Zhou Feng, in particular, both froze on the spot.
Zhou Feng glared angrily at the black-robed figure. "What nonsense are you spouting? Who will spare whose life?"
The figure in black robes didn't speak, but slowly took off his robes and removed the cloth covering his face, revealing his true identity—it was none other than Xu Xiwang.
When Zhou Feng saw the face of the black-robed youth, his breathing suddenly became rapid, his body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes widened, and he uttered three words with difficulty.
"Xu Xiwang!"
"Zhou Feng, look at us. Do we look like spies?"
Upon seeing Xu Xiwang's face clearly, Lanxi was first taken aback, then suddenly realized.
He figured it out: why did this person's figure seem somewhat familiar?
Because he is Xu Xiwang!
"And me, Han Yijian!"
Han Yijian carried Long Aotian's corpse and stepped out.
He was tall and slender, with a handsome face and a commanding presence; his short, jet-black hair fluttered in the wind. Even though he stood there quietly, he seemed like a sharp sword, his edge fully revealed!
"you...."
Looking at Xu Xiwang and Han Yijian, Zhou Feng's face twitched, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He stared at Xu Xiwang in disbelief.
This guy is my mortal enemy!
Why is he here?
Could they be here to settle scores with me?!
"You don't need to panic so much."
Seeing Zhou Feng's panic, Xu Xiwang offered a brief explanation, then turned his gaze to the guards on the city wall, "Open the city gates."
Most of the guards were from the Dragon Mansion, so they naturally recognized Xu Xiwang, their former sycophant and now an invincible prodigy, and hurriedly nodded.
"Open the city gates!"
"yes!"
As their orders were relayed, the gates of the Hundred Clans Royal City slowly and loudly opened, along with the surrounding barriers.
Countless powerful figures from the Hundred Clans Royal City stood on both sides of the city, their gazes fixed on these few individuals.
