"Hmph! So what if it is?"
Shen Ling's mother readily admitted, "As a disciple of the Floating Island, the reason I was willing to marry you was because I saw your potential and thought you could make something of yourself and stand out from the crowd. But I never expected that you, this good-for-nothing, would be content to stay in this small Flying Dragon City for half your life, and you haven't made any progress all these years!"
"What future can I have following a piece of trash like you? If it weren't for my reputation, I would have killed you and your son with my own hands long ago!"
"Also, let me tell you something else: long before I married you, I was already in a relationship with Senior Brother Xue!"
"You're nothing more than Xue Shixiong's sucker!"
"You weren't my first man!"
After hearing her words, the crowd in the square was stunned.
No one expected that such a shocking scandal would exist in the City Lord's Mansion!
What was even more unexpected was that the city lord's wife, who was always seen as noble and dignified, would shamelessly reveal this scandal in public.
It seems she's willing to risk her own reputation just to embarrass the old city lord!
Upon hearing this, Shen Chuan's father's face immediately darkened, becoming as cold as frost.
Although he had long suspected this possibility, he still couldn't help but feel furious when he heard the other party admit it with his own ears.
After all, no one would be able to remain calm if they were cheated on.
Moreover, he was the lord of a city.
Meanwhile, next to Shen Ling's mother, the refined man in the yellow robe looked smug, as if he were showing off.
"You shameless slut, have you no shame?"
Shen Chuan couldn't help but rebuke angrily.
"Face? Heh, from the moment you killed my son Chen Ling, I didn't care about anything anymore!"
Shen Ling's mother laughed maniacally, as if she had gone mad, "All I want now is for you and your son, and that bastard, to pay for my son Shen Ling's life!"
"Where's that kid? Tell him to come out and face his death!"
"Hmph! I'll take responsibility for my own actions! I killed your son, Chen Ling, it has nothing to do with anyone else! If you want revenge, come and kill me!"
Shen Chuan straightened his chest without fear and took a step forward.
He was also worried that Lin Feng was no match for these people, so naturally he was unwilling to reveal Lin Feng's location.
"You want to shoulder this alone? Hmph! Dream on!"
Shen Ling's mother sneered, "I'll give you one more chance. Hand over that brat right now! I might be able to make your deaths a little more painful, otherwise, I'll make sure you and your father experience a fate worse than death!"
"Your son, Chen Ling, is also my son!"
Shen Chuan's father said in a deep voice, "He went astray because of you, and I also bear some responsibility!"
"Today, let me, his father, pay with my life!"
"For the sake of our past as husband and wife, let Chuan'er and the others go!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Chuan.
He was well aware of how terrifying these people were and did not believe that Lin Feng had any chance of winning against them, so he was also unwilling to involve Lin Feng.
"Father!"
Shen Chuan looked worried and wanted to go forward, but his father stopped him.
"You dare call yourself Ling'er's father? Bah!"
Shen Ling's mother sneered, "In what way is my son Shen Ling inferior to Shen Chuan? Why have you favored him so much since he was a child? Not only have you raised him to be the number one genius in Flying Dragon City, but you have also left the position of city lord to him!"
"I have never shown favoritism towards either of them!"
Shen Chuan's father solemnly said, "I have raised them in the same way. Chuan'er became the number one genius in Flying Dragon City because of his own talent!"
"As for the position of city lord, wouldn't it be biased of me not to leave it to him, the eldest son?"
"Heh, no matter what you say, you're always right!"
Shen Ling's mother sneered disdainfully, "But today, I'm not going to reason with you!"
"I'll say it again, hand over that kid!"
"Otherwise, I want you to watch your son, Chen Chuan, be slowly sliced to death by me, piece by piece!"
As she spoke, a long, earth-based weapon-like sword materialized out of thin air in her hand.
"Are you really going to be so heartless?"
Shen Chuan's father frowned.
"Feelings? I haven't felt anything for you for a long time!"
Shen Chuan's mother sneered.
"Alright, stop wasting your breath on them!"
At this moment, the man in the golden robe, who was in the lead, suddenly became impatient and said with a cruel sneer, "Since they are unwilling to hand over the people, then let's just massacre the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
Everyone was stunned with horror.
Massacre...massacre of the city?
Is this guy crazy?
Is he going to kill millions of people in Dragon City?
Shen Chuan and his father were also shocked and their hearts trembled.
They never expected that the helpers that Shen Ling's mother had found would be so ruthless!
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be a powerful figure from the floating island, right?"
Shen Chuan's father stared at the man in the golden robe and said in a deep voice.
"That's right! I am Jin Ao, the steward of the floating island!"
The man in the golden robe, Jin Ao, smiled arrogantly.
"Floating Island is one of the five major sects of our Great Jin Kingdom, a prestigious and righteous sect admired by countless people! As a steward of Floating Island, how could you utter such arrogant words as massacring a city? Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of Floating Island?"
Shen Chuan's father said coldly.
