Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Before the ground split, Zhao Rucheng was still drinking in the mansion.

He had always been carefree, resting whenever he could, and lazy whenever he could.

There was nothing that he had to do, nowhere that he had to go.

Whether it was proactive or passive, he had traveled all over the world, which could be considered a lifetime.

He didn't want to trouble himself.

With half-drunk wine, he was already intoxicated.

Suddenly, Deng Shu appeared and grabbed his hand. "Something's wrong. Fenglin City is about to be destroyed. We must leave immediately!"

Boom!

The sound of the ground splitting exploded at this moment.

"Wait!" Zhao Rucheng was startled, instantly sobering up. He would never doubt Deng Shu's judgment and didn't have time to ask for the reason or cause. He immediately said, "Go to Mingde Hall and get An'an!"

Jiang Wang and Linghe had certain self-protection abilities, but Jiang An'an was still a child and the most dangerous.

Deng Shu didn't waste any time. He grabbed Zhao Rucheng and broke through the roof, like a long rainbow crossing the sky, arriving at Mingde Hall.

With a quick glance, he picked up Zhao Rucheng again and flew into the sky. "That little girl is not here."

"Save Jiang Wang! Save Linghe!" Zhao Rucheng struggled in the air.

"The disaster came too suddenly, and I don't know what happened. But I can feel that this is just the beginning. Once the real danger comes, I won't even be able to protect you." Deng Shu's voice poured into his ears amidst the howling wind. "It's too late."

The earth cracked below, and the houses collapsed.

The fleeing, falling, and dying people looked tiny like ants from this height.

Zhao Rucheng could feel the iron-like strength in Deng Shu's hand, which held him and quickly moved away.

He couldn't do anything.

He couldn't accomplish anything.

The strong wind stung his eyes, making tears flow down his face.

...

In the City Dao Academy.

The cultivators naturally sensed the danger earlier than ordinary people.

Those in seclusion, chanting scriptures, and practicing the Dao suddenly became chaotic. People were running around everywhere.

A fellow student pulled him. "Quick, escape, Linghe!"

Someone shouted, "Retreat outside the city! Leave the useful ones behind!"

Someone else shouted, "Everyone, go save people! We cultivators..."

"Save who? I can't even save myself!"

The dean and vice dean were both absent. Apart from them, only Xiao Tiemian had the prestige to organize all the disciples in the academy, but he was also nowhere to be seen at this moment.

The entire City Dao Academy was in chaos without a leader, bustling with noise.

Linghe jumped up and stood on top of the statue of the Dao Ancestor.

He had always been well-behaved and never dared to overstep any boundaries. But now, in his urgency, he stepped on the head of the Dao Ancestor statue, disregarding the punishment that such a disrespectful act would bring him.

"Our lives are long lives!"

He shouted loudly, "We have cultivated transcendence in the City Dao Academy and have already bathed in glory! Will you trample on this glory, throw it behind you, or reach out and catch it? You decide for yourselves!"

After speaking, he didn't stay.

He jumped over the walls and rooftops, rushing towards Mingde Hall at the fastest speed.

...

In the Lord's Mansion of Sanshan City.

Dou Yuemei sat silently with a frown.

It had to be said that Baigu Dao had made thorough preparations. The entire Fenglin City was almost turned upside down, but once they left the Fenglin City area, it was unexpectedly calm and peaceful.

All the chaos and disasters were confined within the Fenglin City area.

The outside world was unaware.

The Indestructible Formation was like a huge cover, enveloping everything that was about to be destroyed.

However, for Dou Yuemei, who possessed the ability to move mountains, the shaking of Feilaifeng could not be concealed no matter what.

Fenglin City was too far away, not to mention that as the Lord of Sanshan City, she was unlikely to leave her own city during such a crisis.

But the shaking of Feilaifeng was clearly reflected in her divine sense seed.

One who possessed the ability to move mountains could not be unaware of mountain affairs.

However, she could also clearly perceive that there were more than five Soaring Dragon Realm cultivators from Baigu Dao sitting outside Sanshan City.

The movements of the other party were completely unhidden.

They were blatantly intimidating, and Baigu Dao was expressing their attitude, willing to have five Soaring Dragon Realm powerhouses accompany her in guarding the city.

In this way, no matter what happened, she could justify herself to Zhuang Ting.

These several Baigu Dao members were certainly not her opponents, but it was not difficult to stop her for a while.

Moreover, overturning Feilaifeng, wasn't that what she wanted?

What grand plan, what noble future, could it really compare to the lives of the people under her rule, or the dying wish of her deceased husband?

Zhuang Ting had hurt her heart deeply.

Her father, husband, and brothers had all died fighting for Zhuang Nation.

What reason did Zhuang Ting have to make a widow like her fight desperately again?

"Spread the order." Dou Yuemei said, "Close the city gates!"

The commander whispered, "My Lord, outside...""If there were any major issues, the imperial court would issue an order. Since we haven't received any commands, it means there's nothing serious." Dou Yue Mei said indifferently, "We just need to stay put. It's not disobedience."

"…Yes!"

With a rumbling sound, the gates of San Shan City were tightly shut.

…

In Feng Lin City, within the city lord's mansion, Wei Qu Ji stood up once again.

In his life, he only had ambitions in his eyes and only looked forward to the future under his feet.

He had given up many things to get to where he was today.

But no matter what, he had no choice today.

This was his city.

This was his honor, his medal.

It was the proof of his lifelong struggle.

If Feng Lin City was gone, what was the meaning of everything he had sacrificed, his wife, his comrades, his son... everything he had given up?

He was already prepared to devote his life to this.

Dying of old age in Feng Lin City was a kind of devotion.

Dying in battle was not necessarily not.

Lu Yan of Bai Gu Dao was an old demon who had accumulated years of evil. Compared to the elder Ouyang Lie of Bai Gu Dao, his fame might not be prominent.

However, only those who had truly come into contact with him knew how terrifying those eyes of the underworld were.

The Outer Tower Realm anchors the four-directional star domains, drawing in the light of the nine heavens. Every move carries the mighty power of the star dome.

Especially when facing a strong opponent like Lu Yan.

The nine heavenly gales that Wei Qu Ji had managed to connect with after operating in Feng Lin City for so long were all dispersed.

He lit three red signals, but the entire Feng Lin City was covered by a large array, and the message could not be sent out at all.

At this moment, he could only hope that the neighboring city could notice the crisis in Feng Lin City in time, come to join the battle, and contact Zhuang Ting.

This attack was beyond his expectation, and there was not even a hint of warning before it broke out.

Without a doubt, he had lost control of Feng Lin City, but this was not the time to consider this matter.

He had to hold back his opponent.

No matter what.

At all costs.

Swallowing his blood, he noticed a young cultivator approaching.

With a glance, he naturally recognized Zhang Lin Chuan, the talented student from the City Dao Academy.

"Zhang Lin Chuan, this is not a place where you can intervene!"

Wei Qu Ji said directly and forcefully, "Go to the military camp outside the city and contact the main general, Fang Da Hu Zi, let him disperse the army and search for the source of the disaster!"

"City Lord, how do you know if you don't try?" Zhang Lin Chuan said as he walked.

Wei Qu Ji stared intently at Lu Yan in the sky, once again rising from the ground.

He just left his voice behind, "If it were Dong Ah speaking, it might be okay, but you're still too green! Go outside the city!"

Although Dong Ah had not yet appeared, Wei Qu Ji did not believe that a person like Dong Ah would abandon the city and flee.

He must also be somewhere, making his efforts.

The more silent, the more difficult.

The only good news was that the elder Ouyang Lie of Bai Gu Dao had previously caused trouble in Yun Country and was severely injured by the master of Ling Xiao Pavilion. In Bai Gu Dao, there should be no one who could crush Dong Ah.

In the howling hurricane in the sky, Wei Qu Ji formed a knife with his palm, from bottom to top, as if to cut through the sky.

Lu Yan had to interrupt the guidance of the large array again, his eyes swept over, his hands holding the hammer, bringing his whole person down.

The clear light collided with the white light.

The palm knife and the hammer separated as soon as they touched.

With the blessing of the power from the stars, Wei Qu Ji was blasted down again.

"City Lord Wei!" Zhang Lin Chuan leaped up, seemingly wanting to catch him.

With the cultivation of the Tong Tian Realm, it was impossible to withstand such a degree of aftermath, and he would be crushed in an instant.

"Get out of the way!" Wei Qu Ji was both angry and anxious, how could Dong Ah teach such a brainless student?

With the remaining strength, he made a turn in the air.

But Zhang Lin Chuan actually stepped in the air and caught up with him again!

"That's not right!"

Without opening the gate of heaven and earth, how could one walk in the void?

Just as this thought crossed Wei Qu Ji's mind, he heard the roar of thunder.

A-class mid-level Dao technique, Thunder Light Explosion.

The speed of light far surpasses that of sound.

Therefore, before he heard this sound, his entire chest and abdomen were already torn apart by the exploding thunder light!

The violent wind elemental force surged, and at the last moment, he still wanted to do something.

But Zhang Lin Chuan just shook his hand, and the thunder light appeared and then disappeared, and Wei Qu Ji's entire body had already fallen powerless.

Once again, and for the last time, he fell into his city lord's mansion.
