Who was Yin Zhiping? He was the only son of the City Lord of Eight Heavens Immortal City! Moreover, he was recognized as a brother by the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor!
He was the only son of the City Lord of Eight Heavens Immortal City! Moreover, he was recognized as a brother by the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor!
It was no exaggeration to say that, apart from the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor, no one dared to touch him.
Even his father, City Lord Yin Tai, would never easily lay hands on his son!
But now?
But now, Yin Zhiping was actually dead, and his body had been cruelly nailed to the city gate!
Who had such boldness? Nie Feng couldn't fathom it. He suppressed his panic, soared into the sky, and quickly flew into the city gate while holding Yin Zhiping's body.
Immediately, he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion through the teleportation array beneath the city gate.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Reception Hall.
An elderly man in a golden robe, who appeared to be in his eighties, was respectfully standing before a young girl, listening intently to something.
The golden-robed elder was none other than City Lord Yin Tai.
The girl wore a long dress of blue and white, tall and slender, with a chillingly beautiful face that made one reluctant to defile her.
Her dress was embroidered with vividly crafted white clouds, while the blue represented the vast sea.
Against the backdrop of the long dress, it seemed as though the girl was amidst blue seas and white clouds.
She was none other than the Eight Heavens Immortal Emperor, Ke Yin.
A woman who embodied beauty, intelligence, and sharpness.
“City Lord, there’s a major problem!”
Suddenly, a panicked voice came from outside the hall, reaching Yin Tai and Ke Yin's ears.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yin Tai frowned, “Nie Feng, this City Lord is discussing important matters with the Immortal Emperor. Stay outside and don’t be alarmed!”
Listening to the reprimanding voice from within the hall, Nie Feng, holding Yin Zhiping's body, wanted to speak but hesitated, ultimately standing foolishly outside the hall.
Half an hour later.
“Rumble!”
The hall doors opened, and Yin Tai and Ke Yin stepped out.
Yin Tai saw Nie Feng kneeling not far away, holding a corpse.
“Nie Feng, what happened?” Yin Tai’s white eyebrows twitched as he pointed at the face-down corpse and asked, “Who is he?”
Suddenly!
When Yin Tai saw the corpse, it appeared somewhat familiar, and an ominous premonition surged within him.
“City Lord…” Nie Feng choked, “He is the young city lord! The young city lord has been killed, and his body was nailed to the city gate!”
“Boom!”
The news of his son’s death exploded like a thunderclap in Yin Tai's mind, making his head ring.
For a moment, Yin Tai was stunned!
Then, regaining his senses, Yin Tai suddenly appeared in front of Nie Feng, kneeling on the ground, trembling as he turned the body over.
When he confirmed it was indeed his son, his muddied tears streamed down, crying out, “Son… my son!”
“Ah… who the hell killed you!”
“No…”
“Puff!” Yin Tai’s upper body jerked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Beside him, Ke Yin also had tears in her beautiful eyes, feeling a pang of heartache.
Yin Zhiping had been Ke Yin's playmate during her childhood, and in her heart, he was like her own younger brother.
Ke Yin tightly clenched her fists, her nails piercing into her palms, and drops of blood fell to the ground, as her heart bled too!
“City Lord, death cannot be reversed. Please accept my condolences,” Ke Yin said through her tears, “Take care of yourself.”
“Thank you for your concern, Immortal Emperor.” As Yin Tai spoke, another mouthful of fresh blood spewed forth from his mouth. His aged features twisted in extreme rage as he stared at Nie Feng and roared, “Speak! Where is the murderer?”
Nie Feng knelt, trembling, “Reporting to the City Lord, half an hour ago, when I went to the city gate and found the young city lord, the murderer was already nowhere to be found.”
