Yang Yan's final kowtow wasn't to beg for mercy, but to ask Yang Dingtian to spare Yang Zheng's life.
At this moment, Yang Zheng was already kneeling on the ground. Yan Bieli's face was twitching, and there wasn't a trace of blood on his face.
His turbid eyes were filled with trembling and fear. He didn't know if he should pick up his weapon and fight or kneel down and beg for mercy.
Yang Dingtian glanced at Madam Ximen and Jiao Liao before drawing his golden soul sword.
The three of them neatly surrounded Yan Bieli.
Yan Bieli's expression changed drastically. He quickly raised his weapon and looked at Yang Zheng.
However, Yang Zheng was still kneeling on the ground and bawling without any reaction.
"Apologies." Yang Dingtian apologized to Yan Bieli.
Then, the three of them thrust their swords at Yan Bieli.
Elder Yan Bieli of the Enforcement Pavilion widened his eyes. The sword in his hand was about to slash at Yang Dingtian, but halfway through, he gave up and stood there motionlessly.
"Pshhh …" Yang Dingtian's sword pierced through Yan Bieli's heart.
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Yan Bieli's mouth. Then, his tall body collapsed onto the ground.
Yan Bieli was dead. The Elder of the Enforcement Pavilion of Cloud Heaven City for twenty years had finally come to an end.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but his pride didn't allow him to do so.
He wanted to resist, but he knew that it was meaningless.
Therefore, he stood there motionlessly and allowed Yang Dingtian to kill him.
After killing Yan Bieli, Yang Dingtian came to Yang Zheng.
"Yang Zheng, have you had any women all these years?
Did you have any children? "Yang Dingtian asked.
"Kill me if you want. There is no need to be hypocritical." Yang Zheng sneered.
"Do you want the Yang clan to have no descendants?"
Yang Dingtian said coldly, "Yang Yan is really blind. He actually placed all his hopes on you."
Instantly, Yang Zheng's body trembled.
Then, he shook his head and said, "It's not like you don't know who the love of my life is. How can I have a woman? How can I have a child?"
"Then, immediately tell me the name of a woman. This woman must like you very, very much. I'll have someone bring her here. You two will get married. After she gives birth to a child, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, I'll kill you. Then, I'll raise your child and personally teach him martial arts.
After he grows up, if he is capable enough, Cloud Heaven City can be handed over to him, "Yang Dingtian said calmly.
Yang Zheng was completely dumbfounded.
"Perhaps you feel that I'm very shameless, to actually have an illicit relationship with Qin Huaiyu, to actually have a marriage alliance with Qin Wanchou. This is no different from acknowledging a thief as my father."
Yang Dingtian said, "But this is definitely not for my power. I have no interest in power in Cloud Sky City. I just want to protect the people I care about.
I've told you before that if you're clear-headed enough, I can give up my position as Cloud Heaven City's City Lord and hand it over to you.
But your heart is completely deceived. "
"Alright." Yang Dingtian sighed and said, "Either you tell me the name of a woman who loves you.
Or I'll kill you right now. "
Yang Zheng looked at Yang Dingtian, tears continuously flowing from his eyes. Then, his legs went soft and he directly knelt on the ground. With a trembling voice, he said, "Thank you, City Lord, for your help. Land of Chaos, Thunder Town, Misty Hall, Little Peach."
"Is she a pervert?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Yang Zheng nodded and said, "She is a pervert. She once risked her life to save mine.
I promised to take her away, but I lied to her. I've let her down. "
Yang Dingtian frowned and said, "I don't have much prejudice against perverts, but her talent might not be too good. The child she gives birth to probably won't have a strong martial arts talent either."
Yang Zheng said, "I'm already an inauspicious person. How can I harm other women?"
"Alright. After returning to Cloud Heaven City, I'll send someone to bring her over," Yang Dingtian said.
"Thank you, City Lord." Yang Zheng knelt down and kowtowed.
Then, Yang Dingtian took out a fiery-red pill from his spatial ring and burned it with Profound Fire.
"Boom …" Suddenly, the pill exploded, turning into a mass of purple-red dancing light and shadow.
"This is a poison concocted by Ximen Ningning. It's called Ghost Chains!
Although it can't compare to the Deep Sea Profound Poison or the Darkness Crystal, it's the only antidote. There's basically no way to save you. Eat it, "Yang Dingtian said and then pressed the ball of purple-red light into Yang Zheng's chest.
Suddenly, a demonic red mark appeared on Yang Zheng's face.
"Hong Yi, seal all of his Profound Veins and block his Qi Sea," Yang Dingtian said.
Immediately, Yao Rao stepped forward and quickly sealed all of Yang Zheng's Profound Veins.
Yang Zheng's body trembled and then his face suddenly turned pale. In an instant, he lost all of his cultivation.
*****
"Big Brother Qin, please come in." After Yang Dingtian was done, he shouted towards the outside.
Qin Huaiyu walked in and looked at Yang Yan and Yan Bieli's corpses. He said, "Done?
Good, I can go into battle easily in the future. "
Then, he saw Yang Zheng who was hunched over and shrunk back. He immediately said to Yang Dingtian, "Brother, this is your family's matter. It's not good for me to interfere.
However, you must not be merciful to your enemies. You must eliminate them by the roots.
Don't look at how pitiful they are now. In the future, they might be destroyed in their hands.
Their relationship with you is different from the relationship between you and me.
There's no death feud between us, but there's an absolute death feud between you two. "
Yang Dingtian was startled. He didn't expect Qin Huaiyu to advise Yang Dingtian to kill Yang Zheng.
"Killing is still necessary, but after a period of time," Yang Dingtian said.
"That's fine too." Qin Huaiyu said, "Without my Northwest Qin City, this Yang Zheng won't be able to stir up any waves."
Then, Qin Huaiyu continued, "Also, Brother, I've always done things thoroughly and straightforwardly.
This Ren Duancang is a spy from my Northwest Qin City who has been hiding in your place for a long time. This Zuo Boning was also sent by us. The two of them won't cause trouble for you. I'll bring them back to Qin City.
I'll also bring back Black Blood Castle and the thousands of troops that infiltrated your Cloud Heaven City's territory.
I'll also bring Ximen Ju back.
After returning to Cloud Heaven City, I'll let Ximen Ju go over to you. "
Yang Dingtian said, "Ximen Ju doesn't need to return to Qin City, right?
He's an elder of Cloud Heaven City. It doesn't seem appropriate for him to leave Cloud Heaven City even though he's still alive.
How about this, let him go to the Abyss Castle.
Since Cloud Heaven City and Qin City have become one family, there's no need to be on guard at the border. It's just right for Ximen Ju to guard the Abyss Castle. "
Qin Huaiyu nodded and smiled. "Alright, I'll do as Brother says."
Then, he said to Ximen Ju, "Brother-in-law, why aren't you greeting your City Lord?
From today onwards, you'll have to be loyal to your City Lord. "
Ximen Ju went forward and knelt down. He said respectfully, "Ximen Ju greets the City Lord."
Yang Dingtian extended his hand to help Ximen Ju up. "Alright, there are still some matters at the main camp that haven't been settled. Ximen Ju, follow me to settle them."
"Understood," Ximen Ju replied.
Yang Dingtian then cupped his hands towards Qin Huaiyu. "Big Brother Qin, I'll go settle the matters. After I settle all the matters in Cloud Heaven City, I'll immediately follow you to Northwest Qin City."
"Alright, please do as you wish," Qin Huaiyu said.
"Farewell," Yang Dingtian said.
"Farewell!" Qin Huaiyu said.
Then, Yang Dingtian carried Yang Yan and Yan Bieli's corpses and flew down the mountain. Madam Ximen, Jiao Liao, and Yao Rao flew down the mountain.
Ximen Ju carried Yang Zheng and flew down as well.
The few of them mounted their horses and galloped towards the main camp dozens of miles away.
After running for a few miles, Jiao Liao said, "City Lord, if we go back like this, we won't be able to explain to the feudal lords in Cloud Heaven City."
Yes, they wouldn't be able to explain.
Li Zhongjian wasn't rescued, and Tianluo Mo Sha wasn't killed.
Yang Dingtian waved his hand. "Don't worry, he's extremely smart. He's already thought of what we thought of."
As expected, after a while, a sound came from behind.
"City Lord Yang Dingtian, please wait a moment." Qin Buxing's voice came from behind.
Then, Qin Buxing, Tianluo Mo Sha, Li Zhongjian, Li Zhongjian's wife, and children caught up.
Li Zhongjian led his wife and children forward and knelt down. "Li Zhongjian thanks City Lord for saving our lives."
Arriving in front of Yang Dingtian, Qin Buxing handed over a large bundle. "City Lord Yang Dingtian, this is a gift from Young Lord."
Yang Dingtian took it and opened it slightly. Instantly, a bloody smell assaulted his senses.
Inside, there were five human heads.
Zuo Boning and Ren Duancang's heads.
These two people were spies from the Northwest Qin City who had infiltrated Cloud Heaven City. At this time, they were mercilessly killed by Qin Huaiyu, who cut off their heads and gave them to Yang Dingtian as a gift.
Yang Dingtian didn't take the initiative to mention it, but he said something.
Ximen Ju was clearly alive, but he wanted to leave Cloud Heaven City. This would cause the disciples of Cloud Heaven City to gossip.
In other words, Zuo Boning and Ren Duancang disappeared from Cloud Heaven City just like that. There didn't seem to be enough reason.
Therefore, after Yang Dingtian left, Qin Huaiyu immediately cut off the heads of these two people.
Of the remaining three heads, two were the remaining two elders of Stormy Valley, and the last was the head of the fake Tianluo Mo Sha.
"Young Master asked me to apologize to you. He really can't leave the Tianluo Mo Sha, so he can only use a fake head to replace it. However, it should be able to pass off as the real one," Qin Buxing said.
Of course, it could pass off as the real one. If the Tianluo Mo Sha wasn't standing in front of him, Yang Dingtian would really think that his head had been cut off by Qin Huaiyu.
Yang Dingtian bowed and said, "Thank you for your deep friendship, Brother Qin. I look forward to seeing you again in the future. Goodbye!"
Then, Yang Dingtian carried the huge bag, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the camp.
*****
At this time, in the Mist Treasure Pavilion of Rose Villa, the feudal lords of Cloud Heaven City were eating meat and drinking wine.
Paper couldn't wrap fire. These people weren't fools.
When Yang Dingtian left with Yang Dingtian and the others, those who didn't know before would definitely know now. Yang Dingtian and the others' intention was to use the Tianluo Mo Sha to kill Yang Dingtian.
On Yang Yan's side, there were a total of seven Martial Venerables.
On Yang Dingtian's side, there were only three people.
Therefore, everyone felt that Yang Dingtian wouldn't be able to return this time.
"Yang Dingtian is dead for sure this time!"
"That's right. Perhaps this is the shortest-lived City Lord in history. From start to finish, he didn't last more than three months!"
"After Yang Dingtian dies, I really don't know who will benefit from Ximen Yanyan, this peerless beauty?"
"Nonsense, of course it will be the new City Lord, Yang Zheng."
"Not necessarily, not necessarily. It could also be someone else, someone even more important!"
The feudal lords drank and joked.
Suddenly, someone said, "Actually, it's not bad for Yang Dingtian to be the City Lord. He's quite a good person …"
When these words were said, the hall instantly fell silent.
"Hehe …" Sha Potian sneered, "Let such a brat ride on our necks and shit and pee. You guys are willing, but I won't."
"That's right, we won't." Red River Valley's Zhu Sanbao said, "If we want to find a backer, we have to find the strongest one.
Who does Yang Dingtian think he is?
Isn't he just a bastard who harmed his mother-in-law?
He's just a lucky bastard. Let him ride roughshod over us, I won't accept it even if I die.
Moreover, he's already dead now. "
"Oh right, maybe his corpse was fed to the dogs."
Sha Potian laughed, "Young City Lord Yang Dingtian hates him to the core. Ximen Yanyan's virginity was ruined by Yang Dingtian. Because of him, City Lord Yang Zheng can only drink the second bowl of soup."
Zhu Sanbao drooled, "Ximen Yanyan is such a peerless beauty, I'd be willing to taste the 100th bowl of soup."
"Isn't that right?
Yang Dingtian really has good luck with women. He has the peerless beauty Ximen Yanyan and the mature beauty Yang Peipei.
If it was me, I'd be willing to die immediately … "
Instantly, the voices in the hall became vulgar.
Of course, there were also a large number of people who frowned.
They didn't mind trampling on Yang Dingtian.
However, they were still full of respect for Ximen Wuya.
Hearing Zhu Sanbao and Sha Potian humiliating Ximen Wuya, they were indeed unhappy.
"Zhu Sanbao, be more polite. After all, Ximen Wuya is City Lord Ximen's widow." Someone couldn't stand it and said.
"Bah …" Zhu Sanbao sneered, "She can have an affair with Yang Dingtian and do such a shameful thing, but she doesn't allow others to talk about it.
Now that her son-in-law is dead, she might even climb into the bed of the new son-in-law, Yang Zheng. This is even more chaotic. Yang Zheng calls her aunt … "
Actually, no one knew why Zhu Sanbao hated Ximen Wuya so much.
It was because when he went to Cloud Heaven City to offer offerings, he was shocked by Ximen Wuya's beauty and actually tried to bribe Ximen Wuya's maid to steal her underwear.
In the end, Ximen Wuya found out, but she was kind and didn't tell Ximen Wuya.
Instead, she punished Zhu Sanbao alone and broke one of his fingers.
Zhu Sanbao, who saved his life, wasn't grateful at all. Instead, he hated Ximen Wuya even more.
After Ximen Wuya passed away, Zhu Sanbao insulted Ximen Wuya even more.
"Not only did she climb into Yang Zheng's bed, Yang Peipei might even climb into Qin Huaiyu's bed …"
Zhu Sanbao laughed wretchedly.
The sound of horse hooves approached like thunder. Then, Yang Dingtian led everyone and rushed into the hall like the wind.
All of a sudden, everyone was shocked!
Yang Dingtian actually came back?
He didn't die?
He actually came back?
After rushing into the hall, Yang Dingtian jumped off his horse and sat on the highest seat in the hall.
In the hall, all the vassals forgot to drink and stared blankly at Yang Dingtian. They didn't know what was going on.
Yang Dingtian threw out a bag.
Instantly, three hideous heads rolled out.
One was a fake Tianluo Mo Sha, and the other two were barbarian elders.
"Evil must be eliminated. The leader of the barbarians, Tianluo Mo Sha, and two of his lackeys have been executed."
Yang Dingtian said, "From now on, all the barbarians who invaded Cloud Heaven City have been killed. This war has ended successfully.
End. "
Everyone stared blankly at the three heads on the ground and didn't have any reaction.
Then, Yang Dingtian took out a few more heads, but he respectfully placed them on the table.
Ren Duancang's head, Zuo Boning's head.
Immediately, everyone cried out in surprise.
Then, it was Yan Bieli's head, and finally Yang Yan's head.
"Ah …" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
Yang Yan was dead, Yan Bieli was dead, Ren Duancang was dead, and Zuo Boning was dead.
Four of the elders of Cloud Heaven City had died at once.
Moreover, as the leader who opposed Yang Dingtian, Yang Yan, who spent a lot of money to rope in the feudal vassals, was actually dead.
What happened? Didn't Yang Yan set a trap to kill Yang Dingtian?
Why was Yang Dingtian fine, but Yang Yan was dead?
Yang Dingtian looked at the four heads on the table and said sorrowfully, "Tianluo Mo Sha, extremely vicious, counterattacked before death.
My Cloud Heaven City's Great Elder Yang Yan, Elder Yan Bieli, Elder Ren Duancang, and Elder Zuo Boning were all killed! "
The hundred people present were shocked again. They looked at the four heads in disbelief and didn't know how to react.
"They were born great and died honorably. Cloud Sky City will never forget them. Every citizen of Cloud Sky City will never forget them. They will never be forgotten. They will always be the role models of Cloud Sky City, role models," said Ye Futian.
Yang Dingtian roared loudly, "But, just when we were fighting a bloody battle and the four elders were sacrificing themselves bravely.
Someone actually committed the crime of rape and plunder. Someone actually instigated a rebellion. Someone actually dared to defile the City Lord and the late City Lord's wife?
Can you all pat your own conscience and face Great Elder Yang Yan's spirit in heaven? "
Following that, Yang Dingtian looked at Ximen Ju and Yang Zheng and said, "Yang Zheng, Ximen Ju, what do you think should be done with Zhu Sanbao and Sha Potian, these heartless and unscrupulous people?"
Ximen Ju stepped forward and bowed, "Reporting to City Lord, Zhu Sanbao should have his tongue pulled out, castrated, and burned alive.
Sha Potian should have his mystic meridians destroyed and his body torn apart by five horses! "
Yang Dingtian's eyes shrunk and said coldly, "Everyone, listen up. Zhu Sanbao started a rumor, attacked the City Lord, and defiled the late City Lord's wife.
He should have his tongue pulled out, castrated, and burned to death.
Sha Potian, instigated a rebellion, sentenced to be torn apart by five horses.
All the Yang Clan's personal guards who participated in the plunder and rape shall be beheaded in public! "
Yang Dingtian ordered.
Sha Potian and Zhu Sanbao's expression changed drastically as they shouted sternly, "Yang Dingtian, how dare you?"
Sha Potian raised his arm and shouted, "Brothers, let's fight it out with them.
There are over a hundred of us, enough to tear Yang Dingtian into a million pieces. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene was shaken.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …" Before Sha Potian could finish his words, a miserable cry was heard.
Ximen Ju flashed behind him like a phantom and slashed out his sword like lightning, directly severing the meridians in Sha Potian's limbs.
Then, the sharp sword pierced into Sha Potian's Qi Sea and stirred violently.
"Ah …" Sha Potian let out an earth-shattering howl as his Qi Sea was completely destroyed.
Then, Yang Zheng shouted, "Men, Zhu Sanbao has committed treason by spreading rumors and insulting the late City Lord's wife.
Drag him out, pull out his tongue, castrate him, and burn him to death.
Sha Potian, instigated a rebellion and colluded with the enemy. According to the City Lord's order, he is sentenced to be torn apart by five horses! "
Instantly, everyone present was stunned!
Weren't Ximen Ju and Yang Zheng Yang Dingtian's enemies?
Why were they standing together with Yang Dingtian now? Moreover, they were so respectful to Yang Dingtian and followed his lead.
Zhu Sanbao's face was filled with shock as he shouted hoarsely, "Everyone, let's fight it out with them. We have more people, let's fight it out with them."
However, even though there were people who were ready to make a move, no one really stood out.
All the vassals present were terrified. Why were Ximen Ju and Yang Zheng standing on Yang Dingtian's side all of a sudden?
Moreover, Yang Yan and the rest were already beheaded.
At this moment, if they jumped out, they would be courting death.
Then, amidst Zhu Sanbao's earth-shattering screams, Li Zhongjian personally stepped forward and dragged Zhu Sanbao out like he was dragging a dead dog.
Two warriors came in, grabbed Sha Potian's hands and dragged him out, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
