Unable to Stop, Is Castellan Xiahou Afraid?

Xiahou Cang's brow furrowed into the character "川". "But... if we do as he said, isn't that exactly what the divination signs foretold?" "Who knows, we might actually swallow East City and Donglin City. Then all of Dixiu Bay will be ours!!" On the ruins of the Castellan Manor, Li Guanqi had a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, ash from burned inscribed talismans on his fingertips, murmuring to himself. "Xiahou Cang, Xiahou Cang... your son is in the secret chamber." "You wouldn't naively think I have no trump cards, right? Keeping you company here?" Looking back at the slowly opening great hall doors, Li Guanqi murmured calmly in his heart. "This second move, it's time to place the piece, right?" As expected, Xiahou Cang slowly walked out of the room, face as cold as frost. The injuries within his body had mostly recovered. When he was injured before, the pill he had swallowed was extremely precious, a life-saving item. Li Guanqi smiled as he looked at the man and said softly. "Decided?" The man didn't speak, just nodded firmly. Li Guanqi smiled and said softly. "Castellan Xiahou should have a way to get directly to East City, right?" Xiahou Cang tossed over a silver scroll about the size of a palm. Li Guanqi reached out and took it, smiling helplessly. "Castellan Xiahou, given my current condition, I'm afraid I can't help with much." "However... after killing Huyan Lie, Castellan Xiahou can proactively inform Chu Yuan and the others that the crack over there is fake!" Xiahou Cang frowned slightly, asking in confusion. "Why is that?" Li Guanqi smiled: "Of course to show sincerity, but if the other side wants to see the real thing, we definitely can't agree!" Xiahou Cang nodded, took a deep breath, and tore the scroll. A layer of silver radiance enveloped the two, and their figures vanished instantly. Boom boom boom!!! Several breaths later, Yu Su walked out of the great hall and looked into the distance. The direction of East City was now shrouded in an array curtain, and the slight tremors of the earth could be felt very clearly even a city away. This battle had not had too many surprises. Li Guanqi looked at the corpse lying in the center of the devastated land, his expression calm. The barriers around them had been torn open with a large hole by that man, but Li Guanqi blocked it back with a single sword. The man lay on the ground with blood surging from his mouth, looking at Li Guanqi with unwillingness and resentment. Li Guanqi crouched down and said calmly. "If you want to kill me, I have to kill you first." "It would be so much better to willingly be a pawn." After speaking, Li Guanqi leaned close to his ear and sent a voice transmission. "If you hadn't shown killing intent toward me, I might have taken you to destroy East City and Donglin..." Huyan Lie's throat writhed, desperately turning his head wanting to say something to Chu Yuan and the others. But he couldn't say anything. Li Guanqi's thunderflame spread, and in the blink of an eye, the man's body was burned to nothing!! Chu Yuan and Chen Ce both sighed in relief. They had all sustained some injuries; Huyan Lie's last-ditch counterattack before death had been strong. In a single night, three cities were wiped out!! The pattern of Dixiu Bay, unchanged for thousands of years, now had only three cities left! In Dixiu Bay now, there were almost no traces of outside cultivators. The originally bustling streets were empty of people, and even many local cultivators had closed their shops and left. Who would dare stay here in this situation... For some reason, Xiahou Cang and Chu Yuan were both silent, their thoughts turbulent, their moods somewhat complex. They had fought for so many years, all to maintain balance. Yet they never expected the changes to come so fast. And all these changes were because of this unremarkable Heavenly Immortal youth before them!! All three felt a lingering fear. Even though Li Guanqi had his back to them, he could guess what they were thinking. The current situation probably satisfied even Xiahou Cang. Dixiu Bay was so big; three families was just right. But Li Guanqi wasn't worried at all. Because the current situation was planned by him personally. How could he not have anticipated such a state of affairs? Even if Xiahou Cang wanted to stop now, he couldn't. East City and Donglin City had such good relations; wasn't he Xiahou Cang afraid? A three-legged balance? The opposing side stands on two taller legs; wouldn't they soon crush him? Then what would he Xiahou Cang have to oppose the two families? Xiahou Cang let out a long sigh, clutching his waist and said in a low voice. "Let's end it today... I'm tired..." "How to divide the three cities, we can discuss tomorrow." Chen Ce nodded and said in a low voice. "Too much has happened; we need to plan carefully." Chu Yuan also nodded slightly, and then the three prepared to disperse. Li Guanqi smiled and said: "Seniors, I want to visit the treasure vault of Beizha City. Should be fine, right?" Hearing this, all three smiled: "Of course. If Little Friend likes anything, just take it." Li Guanqi smiled. "Then let Castellan Xiahou come with me. Otherwise, I might not be able to resist emptying the vault." Hearing this, all three laughed heartily. Chu Yuan and the others weren't worried about anything. Now, the treasure vaults of the three cities were all guarded by cultivators from the three families. After everyone separated, they were all quite emotional about Huyan Lie's death tonight. No one expected the changes to come so fast; it had only been an hour. Just killed Lou Fuchang and Zhao Mu, and then wiped out Huyan Lie! The underground treasure vault in Beizha City Castellan Manor. Three Heavenly Immortal realm cultivators guarded the door. Seeing the two walk side by side, they all bowed slightly in salute, then opened the treasure vault doors. Boom boom boom!! The stone doors opened, and dense celestial spiritual energy rushed toward them! In the warehouse several hundred zhang in size, immortal crystals and all sorts of dazzling rare treasures were piled up. Li Guanqi sometimes couldn't understand why these cultivators didn't put all these things into storage rings and instead kept them more securely. But Xiahou Cang explained it to him. A great city needed to operate and required vast resources. If every time they needed something they had to come find him, they wouldn't be able to do anything all day. That's why the treasure vault existed, for convenient storage and retrieval. Li Guanqi looked at the hundreds of millions of immortal crystals before him and couldn't help but sigh that these powers' accumulation was indeed terrifying. And in the vault he also saw more than ten third-grade beast cores! Various immortal ores were piled to the side, sealed within a small array formation. Li Guanqi pointed to one head-sized third-grade immortal ore and said softly. "Can I have this one?" Xiahou Cang raised his hand and drew it over, smiling. "Of course." Li Guanqi smiled slightly, then stowed it away with a backhand motion. From beside him came the man's slightly hesitant voice. "Should we... stop?" Li Guanqi walked forward on his own, casually scanning the vault and said softly. "Castellan Xiahou, are you afraid?" "Now East City and Donglin City are banding together. Do you think you can stop?" Boom boom!! The treasure vault's stone doors slammed shut. Xiahou Cang stopped in his tracks, expressionless, staring at Li Guanqi. A cold voice slowly echoed in the secret chamber. "In that case, I'll have to trouble Little Friend to give me some assurance." As he spoke, a spirit seal of a master-servant contract slowly condensed between his eyebrows!!!
