Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 887 - 5: Bringing Humiliation Upon Oneself

"Lie Changgong and Long Rui are not dead; they are currently at the City Lord Mansion. City Lord Changsun has arranged for the best Pill Master in the city to treat them. As far as I know, the little girl is already bouncing around. As for the man, his condition is still unclear," Bai Sheng’s words turned the anger of the Yue Jinghua siblings into joy.

Yue Minzhi couldn’t help but burst into tears. He grabbed Bai Sheng, repeatedly asking, "Military Advisor Bai, are you sure? Are you sure my grandfather and Ruru are still alive? That’s great, that’s great."

Bai Sheng mumbled, "Silly boy, let go quickly. Two grown men pulling and tugging, what’s that supposed to look like."

Yue Jinghua also chuckled on the side. The news that their grandfather and Long Rui were not dead instantly dispelled the gloom weighing on the siblings’ hearts.

Upon arriving on Canglong Continent, the greatest gain for Yue Jinghua was not the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique, nor becoming a Summoner, but rather the familial bond she never had in her previous life as Yue Xiaoqi.

"Humph, they may not be dead, but my grandfather’s life is still uncertain. This account must still be settled with that old turtle Changsun," Yue Jinghua’s beautiful eyes gleamed sharply as she fixed her gaze on the city wall where City Lord Changsun had just appeared. "Old turtle, you used your position as the City Lord of Four Symbols City to frame the young Dark Practitioners of Canglong Continent, nearly leading us all to our deaths. How should we settle this account?!"

By nature, Yue Minzhi was straightforward and kind-hearted. After learning that his loved ones were alive, his resentment towards City Lord Changsun and Four Symbols City diminished somewhat.

However, Yue Jinghua was no saint; she hadn’t forgotten Changsun’s numerous schemes.

Today, she was determined to tear off Changsun Gongyang’s ugly mask, trample it underfoot, and make him lose all face.

Changsun Gongyang managed to climb up to the Four Symbols City’s wall with his short legs. Looking down, what he saw almost blinded his turtle eyes.

The city guards weren’t exaggerating; the Yue siblings really did bring out tens of thousands of fugitives and Demons.

Changsun Gongyang felt a buzzing in his turtle mind, wondering what to do. Others might not know the origins of these fugitives and Demons, but he, having been a city lord for ten thousand years, was well aware.

These so-called fugitives hadn’t committed any heinous crimes; they merely defied the Holy Beast Clan’s orders to secretly uncover the Sky Witch Clan’s secrets. And among the Demons, most carried the bloodline of Dark Beasts bred by the Sky Witch Clan long ago.

The mere existence of these fugitives and Demons was like a thorn stuck in Changsun Gongyang’s throat, making him feel as though his stomach was churning and causing great discomfort.

But Yue Jinghua wasn’t an easy mark either. After escaping the Divine Ruins, she didn’t obediently return to Canglong Continent but instead stirred up trouble outside Four Symbols City, calling out in front of so many city guards and citizens. This brat was truly detestable.

Changsun Gongyang snorted a couple of times, overlooking the small figures of the Human Race and Demons below as if they were ants. "Yue Jinghua, you colluded with the fugitives and Demons inside the Divine Ruins, attempting to invade Four Symbols City. To safeguard Boundary City, I will kill you all together. You dare to question me, the city lord, for framing you? What proof do you have?"

Changsun Gongyang’s ten thousand years as city lord of Four Symbols City gave him an unassailable position and prestige on the continent and within the city.

Yue Jinghua’s few words weren’t enough to convince people of Changsun Gongyang’s insidious intentions to frame the Thought Team and put everyone to death.

For a moment, Yue Jinghua was speechless. As she pondered how to catch Changsun Gongyang’s faults, a voice like a bell rang out from above, "You want evidence, huh? The evidence is here!"

With that, a person "whooshed" and threw something heavy down from the sky.

When the heavy object hit the ground, it let out a pained yelp. The eyes of everyone on and off the city wall were fixed on it. They saw the heavy object that had been thrown down struggled a few times and then crawled up, covered in bruises.

This man was unrecognizable; his battle armor had long been removed. No part of his eyes, nose, or mouth was unscathed. Only the Merit Ring on his hand revealed that he was a member of the Four Symbols Team.

After a while, Yue Jinghua was the first to react, "Aren’t you Bo Xiyu?"

Bo Xiyu, the Dark Practitioner on the ground beaten into the shape of a pig’s head, was indeed Bo Xiyu.

The person who threw Bo Xiyu down from the sky, though in disguise, was recognized by Yue Jinghua by his attire as a member of Zong Shaoqing’s Tiger Team.

Zong Shaoqing indeed escaped unscathed.

Yue Jinghua felt an inexplicable sense of relief in her heart.

In the gaze of everyone present, Bo Xiyu babbled incoherently, "City Lord, save me!"

"Shut up, Bo Xiyu, I have nothing to do with you," City Lord Changsun sharply retorted. Immediately, one of the city guards beside him drew a bow, intending to shoot Bo Xiyu.

Just then, the sky darkened as an empty ship flew above Four Symbols City.

On the ship, a few dark pipes aimed at City Lord Changsun and the soldier holding the bow and arrow.

"Attention everyone on the city, if any of you dares to make a move, I guarantee that you won’t live to see the Demon Army reach the city before your heads burst open," Yue Jinghua shouted with authority.

Changsun Gongyang was furious to hear this: "Don’t listen to her. She’s nothing but a mere Dark Practitioner, daring to bombard Four Symbols City. She doesn’t have the guts. All hands on deck, kill the fugitives and Demons below with a hail of arrows at once."

Before Changsun Gongyang finished speaking, a loud "boom" resounded from the Titan, and Qian Luo, without a moment’s hesitation, fired a cannon shot that blew up a corner of the Four Symbols City’s gate.

"Changsun Gongyang, you old turtle, you may hide safely in your millennium-old turtle shell when hit by a Xuan Crystal Cannon. However, these city guards aren’t Holy Beast Bodies; they are mere flesh and blood. One blow from a Xuan Crystal Cannon, and they’ll meet the True God immediately. I advise everyone, who among you doesn’t have wives and children? It’s the world’s worst deal to sacrifice your life for an old turtle who doesn’t care about anyone’s life," Luo bellowed from the Titan, his voice echoing throughout the city.

Changsun Gongyang was so angry that he huffed in a green rage, quickly retracting his turtle head.

The turtle shell shrunk into a saucer-like object, emitting a flash of green light; its speed was indeed astonishing.

It flew into the air, attempting to seize Luo, who was shouting loudly on the Titan. However, Qian Luo had prepared in advance. The moment Changsun Gongyang flew into the air, the Titan vanished and then reappeared several hundred meters away.

Changsun Gongyang hadn’t anticipated that this ship also had an Instant Transfer Formation. Caught unawares, he fell from the air, landing spread-eagle on the ground.
