Chapter 230 I Won’t Break My Promise
Yun Xiaosha lifted his fallen chin and said, "Great luck shouldn't be taken away so easily, right?"
Li Yuan also looked incredulous after hearing this.
Gu Yue said: "There is no way to verify this matter, and I don't know whether it is true or false."
The three of them came to an abandoned city. The plaque on the city gate had been weathered so much that it was impossible to tell what was written on it. Only three words could be vaguely seen.
The city wall is very high and majestic, and you can vaguely see the prosperity of the city.
The three of them walked into the city gate and saw that the street inside was paved with bluestone slabs. The shops on both sides looked extremely weathered.
Many have collapsed, and a small part is still standing, but it is also crooked and looks like it is about to fall down.
Li Yuan asked curiously, "Why is there an abandoned city here? There's actually an abandoned city in this secret realm!"
Yun Xiaosa asked curiously, "Why haven't other cultivators entered this city?"
"Maybe everyone has gone to the center of the secret realm to wait for the magic weapon to appear!" Gu Yue said, "Let's go for a walk."
So the three of them slowly walked around the city. As they walked, they came to a big house. This was a rare intact house in the city they had visited.
Gu Yue said: "Let's go in and take a look."
Yun Xiaosha and Li Yuan nodded.
Gu Yue pushed open the door of the mansion with one hand, walked around the screen wall, and saw this hall. This should be the front hall of the house.
The three people felt dazed. Gu Yue saw that the furnishings in the main hall were exquisite and grand, and a middle-aged man with a dignified face was sitting in the main seat.
At this moment, he was looking distressed, smiling at a middle-aged male cultivator sitting in the guest seat, but his eyes were calm: "Brother Fang, I really didn't know your daughter had been to Caesar City. I certainly wouldn't hide her. You have to believe me!"
Gu Yue looked at Yun Xiaosha and Li Yuan and found that they also looked confused.
"Did you see that too?"
They nodded, and Yun Xiaosa whispered, "Is this... an illusion? It doesn't look like a formation."
At this time, Gu Yue saw a maid walking towards them. Before the three of them could respond, they found that the maid walked straight past them and went to the inner courtyard.
This is...really an illusion!
The scene before the three people suddenly changed, and they saw the scene in the inner courtyard. A young man was holding a beautiful woman and said, "Miss Fang, welcome to my home."
The young lady shook her hands, but failed to shake off the young man's pull.
She said, "My father can know that I'm in the Cheng Mansion. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to drag it out."
The soft tone did not sound intimidating at all, but instead made the young man feel very excited.
Fang Yuanyuan looked at Master Cheng's expression and knew that something bad was going to happen. She struggled desperately, broke free from Master Cheng's hand, and ran towards the gate. Unexpectedly, just as she ran to the gate, Master Cheng waved his hand and the gate was closed with a "bang".
Then, Master Cheng said, "You can't run away, so you'd better come here obediently."
Fang Yuanyuan looked at Master Cheng in despair and said, "Master Cheng, please think twice. My Fang family is one of the Eight Great Families after all, and the Fang and Cheng families are allies of the Immortal Sect. You can't treat me like this, or you'll regret it. Are you trying to destroy the alliance between the two families?"
When she mentioned the Immortal Sect Alliance, Master Cheng's eyes brightened for a moment, but only for a moment. Fang Yuanyuan was so beautiful. She had finally found herself alone, and she had come to the Cheng Mansion. He would not let this opportunity go.
"Don't bring up the alliance. How can a matter between two of us youngsters involve two families? You and I are in love with each other."
"Cheng Wei, you are going too far..." Fang Yuanyuan said angrily.
She knew that if even the title of the Immortal Alliance could not stop him, she would be in great danger today, and a look of despair appeared on her face.
At this time, the situation changed again.
Fang Wenjun was sitting on the floor of Cheng's house holding Fang Yuanyuan. Fang Yuanyuan's body was already cold and stiff, with a ferocious expression on her face. The wound on her neck was shocking, almost cutting off half of her neck, which showed how determined she was at the time.
Fang Wenjun didn't cry, as if he had shed all his tears. He stroked Fang Yuanyuan's cheek with one trembling hand, his expression blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He was thinking that he was not worthy of being a father. He failed to protect his daughter when she was suffering, and how desperate she must have been when she died.
He hated Cheng Wei so much that he wanted to cut him into pieces. He also hated Cheng Shen for allowing his son to commit murder.
But Cheng Shen was protecting Cheng Wei, and he couldn't beat Cheng Shen.
A trace of obsession quietly grew in his heart. Yun Xiaosa was surprised that he could understand his inner thoughts.
Then there was another trance, and the scene changed again.
A group of evil demons with black aura all over their bodies were attacking a city. On the city wall, City Lord Cheng was talking to Fang Wenjun.
"Brother Fang, please spare me. Look, these evil demons are about to attack the city. If you don't take action, Xize City will be lost. The lips and teeth are cold!"
Fang Wenjun looked at Cheng Shen and recalled the scene when he came to Cheng's house to look for his daughter. He was sad and angry, and gritted his teeth without answering.
Looking at him, Cheng Shen knew that he had been too indulgent towards Cheng Wei, which led to the disaster today.
"Brother Fang, are you going to watch them die without helping? Think about the monks in Xize City. Do you have the heart to let them be devoured by evil spirits?"
Fang Wenjun looked at the monks in the city. They had expressions of fear on their faces. In fact, he felt reluctant in his heart. Although he could not let the culprit be punished, he could not ignore the lives of innocent people.
He collected his thoughts and said coldly, "How about this, you hand Cheng Wei over to me, and I will help you activate the formation."
Cheng Shen's expression changed several times. He was conflicted, and after rolling his eyes, he said, "Okay, after this evil army retreats, I will hand Wei'er over to you."
He paused and said, "You must do your best to help me repel the evil army."
Fang Wenjun channeled his spiritual energy into his voice, a resonant chorus echoing throughout the city. "Alright, since City Lord Cheng has promised to hand Cheng Wei over to me after the demonic army retreats, I will do my best to help him repel the enemy. I hope Patriarch Cheng won't break his promise."
He originally thought that Cheng Shen would not go back on his word in front of all the monks in the city, but he didn't expect to underestimate Cheng Shen's shamelessness.
Cheng Shen's face turned pale. He originally thought that he could first coax Fang Wenjun to help repel the enemy and discuss other things later. He didn't expect that he would put his promise in the open and spread it to every corner of the city.
Did he want all the monks in the city to help him witness this promise? !
Cheng Shen could only nod and said weakly: "I won't break my promise."
The three people looked at the situation, and Gu Yue said, "This City Lord Fang does have some good intentions."
