Xianxian frowned upon hearing this, "Tan Big Brother, that can't be possible, right? I heard that Zhen City Lord and Ouyang City Lord are both..."
Before Tan Yun could respond, Zhen Ji suddenly paused in mid-air, turned around abruptly, and coldly stared at Xianxian, "Xianxian, you can eat randomly, but you cannot speak carelessly!"
"My father was indeed close friends with Ouyang Duantian! However, Ouyang Duantian brutally killed my father and bloodied the City Lord's Mansion!"
"He is a shameless villain, pretending to be amiable on the surface while being two-faced behind people's backs!"
After hearing this, Xianxian gazed at Zhen Ji and sighed inwardly, "Sister Zhen Ji, I’m your Qianqian sister! There must be a misunderstanding here. My father really did not kill your parents."
"Someone else killed your parents; my father is innocent."
Xianxian desperately wanted to say these words, but she couldn't.
There were two reasons.
First, she couldn't expose her identity; otherwise, over time, it was very likely that others would find out that she was the runaway daughter of the City Lord of Skyreach Immortal City.
Second, from Zhen Ji's eyes, she saw an unmasked killing intent. She believed that once she revealed her true identity, she would be killed by Zhen Ji.
Previously, due to the close friendship between Zhen City Lord and Ouyang Duantian, Zhen Ji and Ouyang Qianqian referred to each other as sisters.
"Oh, I’m sorry, Sister Zhen." After speaking, Xianxian softly added, "Sister Zhen, may I ask you a question?"
"You may," Zhen Ji replied.
Xianxian said, "Among the Four Great Beauties of the nine heavens immortal realm, there are you, Sister Fang, Ouyang Qianqian, and the witch."
"I heard that you and Ouyang Qianqian were like sisters before, is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Ji fell into a long silence before nodding her head, "Yes, we were once like sisters, but with my parents being killed by her father, we are now enemies!"
"How could I still consider her a sister, being the daughter of my enemy!"
After speaking, Zhen Ji continued to navigate through the Sea of Clouds...
Following behind, Xianxian seemed a bit distracted...
In the blink of an eye, Zhen Ji and the others had flown for a year and a half. When they were three days away from Zhen Immortal City, Zhen Ji took out a piece of silk to cover her face.
Three days later, the group dived down from mid-air, appearing before a massive city.
This city, once known as Zhen Immortal City, had now been renamed Xiahou Immortal City!
Standing outside the city gates, Zhen Ji gazed in confusion at the beautifully carved characters of "Xiahou Immortal City" on the gates, her eyes showing confusion, "When was it changed to Xiahou Immortal City?"
Immediately, everyone focused their attention on Xianxian.
Xianxian explained, "After Zhen City Lord fell, the newly appointed nine heavens immortal emperor promoted his confidant, Xiahou Shu, to City Lord, renaming it Xiahou Immortal City."
"Hahaha." A mocking smile appeared on Zhen Ji's stunning face, "Ouyang Duantian, you wanted to dominate my Zhen Immortal City, yet you never expected that in the end, Zhen Immortal City still wouldn't fall into your hands, right?"
Hearing Zhen Ji criticize her father, Xianxian felt quite uncomfortable, thinking, "Sister Zhen, the truth will eventually come to light, and by then, you will understand that you have misunderstood my father."
Suddenly, Tan Yun furrowed his brows, looking at a magic treasure screen on the city, softly murmuring:
"I am Ouyang Duantian, City Lord of Skyreach Immortal City. My daughter Ouyang Qianqian is about to marry the nine heavens immortal emperor, but my daughter has fled and gone missing. This is an unforgivable crime!"
"I urge anyone in the nine heavens immortal realm who sees my daughter to inform me of her whereabouts, and I will reward you handsomely."
As Tan Yun whispered, the crowd below watching the proclamation erupted in discussions:
"If Ouyang Qianqian can marry the current nine heavens immortal emperor, it’s due to her ancestors’ good deeds, yet she still dares to flee!"
