Three days. In just three days, the name of Ling Xiao as the City Lord had spread throughout Hell City.
Ling Xiao was the First Emperor from two years ago, and he was also the champion of the Alchemy Alliance's Alchemy Competition a year ago. He was a seventh-grade alchemist.
It was said that he had been missing for a year, but he had suddenly appeared in Hell City and become the City Lord.
This caused all the people in Hell City to be extremely surprised.
What was even more surprising was another piece of news. Ling Xiao was actually going to solve the mystery of death in Hell City, so that everyone could live in Hell City in peace.
This news exploded in the city like a plague.
"Did you hear? So the City Lord here is the First Emperor, Ling Xiao. I wonder if it's true."
"I think it's true. Since he announced his identity, he must be planning to occupy this place and become the king. But the mystery of death hasn't been solved yet. Isn't he afraid of dying early?"
"Maybe he really found a way to solve it."
"Is it that easy?
Who knows how many Emperors thought they could solve it, but in the end, they either died here or ran away. "
"Don't think too much. If he really has the ability to solve the problem here, we'll settle down here and not leave."
… …
"Young Master, I've already done as the Military Advisor said." Bai Yuxi rubbed Ling Xiao's shoulder and said in a low voice. Her face was flushed, and she looked like a flower that had just been moisturized. She was incomparably beautiful.
Ling Xiao had enjoyed the blessings of women these past few days, and he had spent the night with Bai Yuxi.
This girl seemed to be made of water, and she would always make people dote on her.
Ling Xiao opened his eyes and nodded, "Is the fraud ready?"
Bai Yuxi said softly, "The Military Advisor is already waiting in the main hall, waiting for Young Master to go over."
"Alright!"
Ling Xiao responded and stood up. Bai Yuxi immediately draped a black robe over Ling Xiao and helped him change.
This black robe was made by Bai Yuxi herself. Today, she could finally wear it for her Young Master. She felt exceptionally satisfied and happy.
Ling Xiao kissed Bai Yuxi's forehead before striding out of the room.
Outside the main hall, everyone was present. Ling Xiao walked up to the seat of honor.
"Fraud, how are the preparations?" Ling Xiao asked directly.
Xuan Yao replied, "It's about time. If Young Master has nothing else to do, we can prepare to break the formation now!"
"Okay, let's start now. I can't wait!" Ling Xiao said confidently.
Xuan Yao nodded and turned to leave the hall.
He arrived at the spacious field outside the main hall, turned around, and said, "Young Master, the real Demon Child Formation should be buried here!"
"What?
It's down here! "Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
Xuan Yao nodded and said seriously, "At first, I thought that the formation might be around the city, but after observing for the past few days, there are traces of destruction everywhere in the city, but the City Lord's Mansion hasn't suffered any damage. I noticed that there are dark lines all around, and only the Heaven's Eye can see clearly. If I hadn't broken through to the Empyrean Stage, I wouldn't have been able to open the Heaven's Eye and see everything here."
Then, Xuan Yao didn't waste any more time. He took out a rank 7 light attribute beast core and threw it around the City Lord's Mansion. Then, he bit his bloody finger and shouted, "With my blood, sacrifice the Demon Child's Heart. Light Blood Formation, rise!"
Xuan Yao's fingers danced in the air. Streaks of blood formed mysterious patterns that appeared in the sky above them. The light attribute beast cores around them seemed to be summoned. Streaks of pure and unadorned energy gathered towards the streaks of blood.
The light energy and blood converged to form a strange light screen!
Xuan Yao gritted his teeth and shouted, "It's not enough!" Then, he patted his chest and used a self-mutilating method to spit out another mouthful of blood.
The blood that gathered formed a red bead that gradually rose up, and streams of light energy continuously revolved around it.
A white feather fan appeared in Xuan Yao's hand, giving him the air of an immortal.
He soared into the sky, waving the white feather fan in his hand like a drunken dance of the eight immortals. Streams of energy that twisted like snakes turned into strange formation patterns.
Swoosh swoosh!
At this time, the formation patterns began to change. The light screens seemed to have come to life, and it was as if the sun was shining. The surroundings became bright, and countless pure and vast lights surrounded the City Lord's Mansion.
Xuan Yao, who was in the sky, was like an immortal descending to the mortal world. He emitted an incomparably holy light, making people feel a sense of worship.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This swindler's move is really flashy, he has three points of this young master's charm index!"
"He … He's actually an array master, and his level isn't low either!" Han Kai's old eyes flashed with astonishment as he muttered.
The others also had a look of surprise on their faces. They all understood why Ling Xiao relied on Xuan Yao so much. It turned out that Xuan Yao's ability wasn't weak at all.
When the people in Hell City saw the abnormality in the City Lord's Mansion, their expressions all became astonished.
"Could it be that Ling Xiao really found a way to solve the mystery of death here?"
"Such a big commotion. It seems like there should be some clues. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"I really don't know what's causing this. Maybe some kind of treasure will appear."
"Even if there's a treasure, it won't be our turn. Just wait for the show to start!"
… ….
"Rank 7 Radiant Blood Array, illuminate the earth. Demon Child Array, appear for me!" Xuan Yao spread out his palms and shouted.
The countless light curtains became even more intense, and the drop of blood essence in the middle seemed to have gained some sort of intelligence. It flew towards a corner of the City Lord's Mansion.
Xuan Yao chased after it in the air, and Ling Xiao and the others also quickly followed.
In the end, the drop of blood essence landed in an inconspicuous place.
Boom!
Before the blood essence could land on the ground, a formless death aura soared into the sky. The blood essence and the death aura collided, producing a powerful explosion.
As the blood essence scattered, the pure light curtains all shone towards them.
Swoosh swoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
The dense death aura in that area was instantly cleansed.
Xuan Yao shouted, "The Demon Child Array is over there, blast the ground!"
Ling Xiao didn't say anything else. Just as he was about to rush forward and attack, Savage Leopard took the lead and said, "Young Master, let me do it!"
After saying that, Savage Leopard flew through the air. The Blood Devouring Demon Saber appeared in his hand, and he heavily slashed towards that place.
The terrifying saber slash completely submerged that area.
Just when everyone thought that the place was about to be destroyed, a dense death aura sprayed out from the ground like a toad swallowing fog.
Such a dense and terrifying death aura, once touched, would definitely cause one's life force to flow away in the shortest possible time.
"Be careful!"
Mad Tooth, who was behind, had been paying attention. He cried out in alarm and instantly rushed out, dispersing the sudden appearance of the death aura. At the same time, he pulled Savage Leopard back.
The death aura continuously sprayed out from the ground like a poisonous fog, causing people's scalps to go numb.
Fortunately, the light energy shone at the same time, and the death aura was instantly reduced by a lot.
Han Kai lightly stomped his feet and waved his hand, sending a wave of spatial energy towards the death aura.
BOOM!
The attack of a peerless expert immediately caused the ground to crack, and the nearby mountains to shake.
Sou sou!
As the ground cracked, a terrifying death aura surged out at the same time, instantly spreading towards everyone.
Everyone was shocked, they immediately retreated, and Han Kai and Mad Tooth were about to use their spatial energy to isolate the death aura.
Xuan Yao once again performed a profound technique in the air as he muttered, "Boundless light, slay the demons and exterminate the devils!"
Wisps of white light poured down from the top, like the rising sun, illuminating everyone, making them feel extremely comfortable. Only Mad Tooth and Savage Leopard revealed a look of disgust.
After all, the light attribute and the dark attribute were innately incompatible powers.
Xuan Yao, who was in the sky, borrowed the power of the formation. Although he was able to restrain the death aura for a short period of time, Xuan Yao had underestimated the accumulated death aura energy here. His light array was unable to completely restrain it.
"Not good, the large amount of death aura has spread out, it will spread to the people in the city!" Xuan Yao's expression changed greatly as he shouted, his eyes filled with anxiety.
"What's the hurry? It's time for this young master to appear!" Ling Xiao coolly walked towards the place where the death aura was spreading out.
The girls anxiously shouted, "Xiao, don't go, you will be entangled by the death aura!"
"A mere death aura is not enough to make this young master fear!" Ling Xiao said indifferently, and a ball of deep purple flames spread out with him as the center.
This purple energy brought with it a feeling of dread, causing everyone to feel a strong sense of oppression.
Ling Xiao slowly spread out his palms, and countless flames wrapped around the death aura.
As if it had met its nemesis, the death aura was incinerated to the point of withering, and the unending stream of death aura was like a cannon, unable to withstand a single blow.
"What a terrifying Heavenly Fire, as expected of the nemesis of evil beings!" High up in the sky, Xuan Yao looked at the flames with a pale expression and muttered in joy.
This purple flame was the result of the Blue Demon Fire Bead swallowing the Dark Golden Split Bead.
Now, its color had undergone a huge change, and its energy had become even more terrifying.
Ling Xiao controlled the surrounding flames to continuously close in, and shouted, "Refine it all for me!"
The purple flames emitted a raging aura, and continuously surged towards the place where the death aura was spreading out.
Bang!
When the purple flames completely pressed down, it let out a muffled sound, and countless purple flames splashed in all directions.
The Death Qi was finally completely incinerated into nothingness.
However, this did not mean that the mystery had been solved. On the contrary, the mysterious veil was gradually lifted.
