Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Rou clenched her fist tightly, her nails piercing into her palm, and drops of blood fell to the ground.
She coldly said, "These traitors, I, Xuan Yuan Rou swear, the Nine Great Generals, one day, I will take their lives!"
"But if they dare to become the dogs of high-level immortals, I will definitely not let them go!"
After saying this, Xuan Yuan Rou looked at Zhang Yizhong and asked, "Have the immortal people in the outer city left?"
Zhang Yizhong responded truthfully, "More than 300 million immortal people left with their family members who joined the military. The remaining immortal people said that the City Lord has treated them well, and they cannot be ungrateful, so they did not leave."
"These immortal people not only did not leave but also severed ties with their family members who joined the military. They claimed that Xuan Yuan Immortal City is their hometown, and if an external enemy attacks one day, they would rather die in Xuan Yuan Immortal City than become traitors."
This news was the greatest comfort to Xuan Yuan Rou.
"Alright, I understand. You go and prepare to handle my uncle's funeral," Xuan Yuan Rou sighed.
"Old Servant obeys," Zhang Yizhong said, just as he was about to leave, Tan Yun suddenly spoke up, "Zhang Lao, please wait, the funeral is not urgent."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yizhong, Xuan Yuan Rou, and Xuan Yuan Ling Er looked at Tan Yun in confusion.
Tan Yun glanced at the three of them, then looked towards Xuan Yuan Chang Feng and said, "Brother Chang Feng, Xuan Yuan General is already an emperor sage realm expert, and his sacred soul is quite powerful; it may not necessarily be extinguished."
"Also, I heard you say earlier that you saw Xuan Yuan General killed and fell into the Lost Canyon. Could you please condense the memory image for me to see?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng nodded and released a surge of celestial power, condensing a picture from the void.
In the picture, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong, covered in injuries, was pierced through the chest by Sima Yongzheng’s sword, and then his skull was pierced by Zhuge Xiong in a flash!
Next, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong desperately pushed out two palms, hitting Sima Yongzheng's chest, causing him to spurt blood and be sent flying.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong plummeted downwards into the abyss-like Lost Canyon shrouded in grey mist.
In the image, Sima Yongzheng spat blood and said, "That old fellow, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong, was pierced through the heart by my sword; he must be dead without a doubt!"
Zhuge Xiong grinned maliciously, "My sword should have pierced through this old fellow's spirit pool, extinguishing his sacred soul."
At that moment, the Deputy City Lord of the Abandoned City flew in mid-air and said in a deep voice, "We need to see the living or at least the corpse, but anyone entering the Lost Canyon has a nine-in-ten chance of dying. What should we do?"
Sima Yongzheng clasped his fists and said, "Deputy City Lord, you worry too much. That sword of mine was enough to fatally injure him."
"You also said that entering would mean a nine-in-ten chance of death; even if he survives, he would be on the verge of death. How could he possibly survive?"
"Moreover, I guarantee that Xuan Yuan Hao Kong is dead!"
At this point, the memory image was interrupted.
"Tang brother, did you see anything?" Xuan Yuan Chang Feng asked.
"Don't worry, Brother Chang Feng, let me think for a moment," Tan Yun closed his eyes, repeatedly reviewing the previous image in his mind.
Xuan Yuan Rou and the others looked at Tan Yun, not understanding what was happening.
After a moment, Tan Yun suddenly smiled and confidently said, "Xuan Yuan General is not dead!"
"What? My father isn't dead? How did you figure that out?" Xuan Yuan Ling Er, unable to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes, immediately asked.
"Tang brother, is that true?" Xuan Yuan Chang Feng looked at Tan Yun with excitement, "You know I trust you very much!"
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Rou, though unsure of who Tan Yun was, did not care about that; she was concerned about why Tan Yun claimed her uncle was not dead.
