Chapter 197: Xiang Yang City on the Magic Continent 7
City Lord’s Mansion
Xiang Shen and a group of family heads from noble families were in a meeting when the space suddenly distorted, a giant magic array lit up, and Xue You, with Sang Jing Wen, instantly appeared before them.
Xiang Shen recognized Xue You but not Sang Jing Wen, yet he knew the visitors were not here with good intentions: “Esteemed Your Excellency, may I ask what has brought you back?”
Sang Jing Wen looked at him with a cold face: “You are the City Lord? My sister is a cultivator from Rose Town. This trip was ordered by the Emperor Lord. Seeing that your Xiang Yang City has no flowers stationed, she was worried something might happen, so she wanted to give the sunflowers she painstakingly cultivated to the City Lord. It’s just a small gesture of goodwill. You must know how difficult it is to cultivate flowers, right?
But now, after my sister left your City Lord’s Mansion, she was targeted by an evil wizard. The other party even set up a magic isolation array. This is no coincidence. City Lord, I have already sent a message to the Emperor Lord. If anything happens to my sister, I guarantee that Xiang Yang City will not live to see the day the Demon Spirit descends!”
Upon hearing the words “Demon Spirit Descends,” Xiang Shen was almost scared out of his wits. He quickly looked at the others and found that they seemed unfamiliar with this Demon Spirit, which was a relief.
But before he could speak, a fat man with a greasy head said sarcastically: “This must be a Your Highness from Rose City. You’re making baseless accusations against the City Lord without any evidence, aren’t you?”
“Exactly. Who knows if your sister wasn’t attracted to someone and ran off with them? Girls her age are at the age where they like men.”
These people from the noble families were already dissatisfied with the City Lord making them pay for flowers. Even if they bought them, they wouldn’t get them. Besides, no matter how good the flowers were, they were not as valuable as Crystal Coins to them, as they didn’t need to improve their Magic Level.
Xiang Shen watched Xue You’s expression grow increasingly grim. He had wanted to tell them to shut up, but then he thought better of it and decided to let them continue. It was time for Xiang Yang City to have a change of blood.
Seeing that Sang Jing Wen, the man behind him, and the City Lord remained silent, the fat man thought they were scared. After all, they were far from Rose City, and he didn’t believe the Emperor Lord would make a big fuss over a woman!
“Alright, stop making a scene here. Since the person is gone, you should all go back to what you were doing. You’re really wasting my time. Do you know how many Crystal Coins I earn per minute? This is ridiculous. Lord City Lord, you should associate with these people less in the future.”
Saying this, he sneered at Xiang Shen. In his heart, he looked down on Xiang Shen, who held the position of City Lord without doing anything. But everyone knew that his Strength was not high, and he had lost popular support because he couldn’t find a cultivator to guard the city. He was sure to be voted out in the next election. At that time, City Lord, hehe.
As he prepared to leave, he found that he couldn’t move, as if all the blood in his body had frozen.
This, this feeling was like being marked by a Cold Attack?
Xue You walked towards him step by step, his handsome face filled with a grim expression: “Accusations? Do I need to accuse you? Even if I beat you all to death here, who would dare to comment? In the eyes of the Emperor Lord, who do you think is more important: you, your City Lord, Xiang Yang City, or a cultivator who was painstakingly nurtured?”
The fat man broke out in a cold sweat, but he couldn’t move at all. He could only look at Xue You with terrified eyes.
“Her life is far more important than yours. Since you are unwilling to help, you are accomplices.”
With that, Xue You grabbed the fat man by the neck and squeezed slightly. His corpulent body shattered like ice, falling to the ground with a crackling sound.
The others wanted to run but were unable to move. Like the fat man, their entire bodies were frozen, and even their mouths were filled with ice.
Xue You looked at Xiang Shen with icy eyes: “And you? What do you think? I want you to gather your troops immediately and go rescue Sang Chu. If anything happens to her, I will immediately slaughter your city.”
“Your Excellency, rest assured, I will immediately gather troops and search the entire city. As long as we find…”
Xue You: “I know where she is. It’s just that the other party set up a magic array that can intercept me. You gather your troops now, and I’ll send you there directly. Sang Jing Wen, you come along. If Sang Chu isn’t rescued, tell me, and I’ll start killing from the City Lord’s Mansion. Don’t even think about escaping. As long as the Cold Attack remains, I can find you anywhere in the world and kill you.”
Upon hearing “Cold Attack,” everyone present turned ashen. Now they understood. This person before them was not some Wizard Your Excellency, but the Snow Demon King!
No wonder he said he was intercepted by a magic array!
Xiang Shen: “My Lord, rest assured, I will go immediately!”
“Guards, quickly summon all nine elders, and all Wizards stationed at the City Lord’s Mansion of Level Three and above.”
Watching Xiang Shen frantically gather people, Sang Jing Wen walked to Xue You’s side: “Have Min Feng and the others arrived?”
Xue You closed his eyes, his gaze following Lu Min Feng and the others: “They are still outside the formation. This formation is very strange, and the other party is likely not to be trifled with. I will mark everyone in Xiang Yang City first. If he really dares to lay a hand on Sang Chu, even if the contract is broken at night, I will make him die without a burial place.”
He had finally left that icy, snowy place. Sang Chu had promised to take him to explore other worlds. Now, before that promise was fulfilled, she was captured, right before his eyes, and he had personally sent her away!
Thinking of this, the demonic energy within him couldn’t help but surge.
His entire body seemed to be bathed in blood, and a swirling mist of blood enveloped Xue You, making Xiang Shen tremble with fear.
The family heads were now like snow sculptures, unable to move. As time passed, the ice on their bodies grew thicker and thicker. If this continued, they would truly freeze to death.
But they didn’t even dare to beg for mercy!
This was a Demon King!
Who would have thought that a woman with a not-so-high Wizard Level would have a Demon King-level guard!
Inside the Small Wooden House
Sang Chu and Xi Rui, along with their group, had all fallen unconscious. They were all tied to wooden tables, and Lin Shao Qing was holding a scalpel, cutting open Sang Chu’s chest.
“Huh? Why is this woman under an Evil Curse?”
The servant standing beside Lin Shao Qing, holding a tray, leaned in. Seeing the black spots moving within her bloodline, he curiously asked, “Your Excellency Shao Qing, what is this Evil Curse?”
“It’s the curse of a High-level Corpse Spirit. It seems the High-level Antidote was meant for her. But they don’t know that this Evil Curse cannot be cured by ordinary means. Fortunately, they met me. I don’t like my raw materials to have other people’s things on them. Go get the Life Conversion Array. All these internal organs have been touched by the Evil Curse, so they all need to be washed away to avoid future trouble.”
