As Long Xiaolin was consumed by sorrow, Sima Yongzheng stepped forward, his body trembling, tears welling in his eyes. He grabbed the shoulders of the Immortal General and roared, “My daughter...”
“Reporting to General Sima,” the immortal general said softly, “Miss Fei'er has also been killed by Tan Yun.”
“No, no!” Sima Yongzheng's tears spilled over, “Daughter, my daughter!”
In that moment, Sima Yongzheng, along with nineteen other generals, was devastated, all shedding tears.
Suddenly, Zhuge Xiong cried out, “How could this happen? Wasn't Tan Yun already dead? How could he suddenly appear in the Abandoned City?”
Zhuge Xiong's words stirred Sima Yongzheng's memories. While mumbling to himself and crying, he suddenly looked at the immortal general and shouted, “Yes, General Zhuge is right!”
“My daughter had already killed Tan Yun; how could Tan Yun come back to life? You must be talking nonsense!”
After the roar, Sima Yongzheng turned to the grief-stricken Long Xiaolin and said, “City Lord, this person must be lying!”
A glimmer of hope ignited in Long Xiaolin's eyes as he looked at the immortal general, tears in his eyes, and asked, “If you dare to lie, I will tear you apart!”
The immortal general firmly replied, “City Lord, even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to spread rumors! I will show you the memory image right now.”
As he spoke, the immortal general waved his right arm, and a surge of celestial power gathered in the void, forming a memory image in the Deputy City Lord's Mansion, where Linghu Yunfei was seen. In the memory image, Linghu Yunfei said to the immortal general in a deep voice, “The City Defense General Tan Yun is currently rampaging in the Abandoned City, bloodily slaughtering the City Lord's Mansion, the residences of thirty-one generals, and killing members of the alchemical refinement guild, weapon refinement guild, refining formation guild, and talisman refining guild.
“Tell the City Lord that I cannot leave the Abandoned City to seek reinforcements for the time being. The City Lord should temporarily abandon the assault on the Xuan Yuan Immortal City and return to jointly hunt down Tan Yun!
“As for Tan Yun, I will personally guard the city gate and ensure he does not escape!”
The memory image ended there.
Long Xiaolin and the twenty generals finally believed that their families had indeed been completely killed by Tan Yun!
“I am furious!” Long Xiaolin roared like thunder, “Tan Yun, this grudge is irreconcilable! I will surely skin you alive!”
“And you, Linghu Yunfei, are you a damn fool? Are you useless? How could you let Tan Yun infiltrate the Abandoned City, allowing him to kill so many people!”
Seeing Long Xiaolin in anguish and rage, the twenty generals shouted in unison, “City Lord, let's withdraw our troops! Let's return to the Abandoned City and kill Tan Yun!”
At this moment, Long Ao clenched his fists tightly and glanced at Long Xiaolin, “Father, let's go back! After we destroy Tan Yun and avenge my mother, we will bloodily wash the Abandoned City!”
“Okay!” As Long Xiaolin was filled with mixed emotions of grief and anger, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng on the city tower laughed wildly, “Hahaha, well deserved!”
“Are you ashamed? You all came in grand fashion to attack my Xuan Yuan Immortal City, while my Brother Tan has bloodied your City Lord's Mansion and all the general residences! Hahaha, it truly brings joy to the heart!”
“Let me tell you, old man Sima Yongzheng, my Brother Tan is extremely resilient. Back then, your daughter didn't kill my Brother Tan at all!”
“And Zhuge Xiong, you old traitors who betrayed the Xuan Yuan Immortal City, your families deserved to die!”
“All of you in the Abandoned City assisted tyranny, abandoned dignity, and served the high-level immortals. You all deserve to die, all the immortals in the Abandoned City deserve to die!”
Upon hearing this, Long Xiaolin glared fiercely at Xuan Yuan Chang Feng, emphasizing each word, “You little punk, hear this—I, Long Xiaolin, will come again!”
