C733 Southern Mountain City
"Yes, Master, what Zhiwei said is right. Leave the matters here to Second Uncle. You need to gather all the city lords and establish your prestige. Consolidate and strengthen your current position. Don't let them have second thoughts!" Ding Baozhen said.
Ding Haoyue nodded and said, "Ding Yi, quickly give this lord's orders..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw the corpse of Chief Steward Ding Yi not far away. It was as if he had been crushed by something. His body was covered in cuts and bruises, and his limbs were broken. He did not look like he was alive at all.
Elder Steward, Ding Yi, was also dead!
"Ah!" Ding Haoyue raised his head and roared, venting the anger and sorrow in his heart.
...
Tens of thousands of miles away, Feng Yimo, who was riding on his horse at the corner of the water, noticed that a formation flag inside the Sumeru Bracelet had turned into nothingness. He sighed. He knew that the Five Elements Trap Killing Formation set up in the Lord Mansion of the Yueping Prefecture had been activated.
He didn't want to kill more people, so he set the trigger condition in the formation. If the word "Liu Duansheng" didn't appear, "die," he wouldn't have activated the Five Elemental Trap Killing Formation. Besides, he had set it up three times. Only when the word "Liu Duansheng" kept appearing would the formation be activated.
However, the situation he had guessed had happened. Ding Haoyue and the others still wanted to kill him, so there was nothing to be polite about.
On the way, he had already heard about the attack on Yue Ding Prefecture in Hsingyi Mansion. He didn't have any thoughts about it. This was the law of the world. Whether it was the lower realm or the Spirit World, the strong preyed on the weak. Although there were people who offered help in times of need, there were even more people who took advantage of the situation and threw stones at others.
These days, there wasn't any trouble. The group of people arrived in front of the Zixia Mountain of the Prideful State.
When they saw the Zixia Mountain, everyone knew why it was called the Zixia Mountain.
From a hundred miles away, they could see a towering mountain that pierced through the clouds. The mountain was more than ten thousand miles tall, and the top couldn't be seen. The entire mountain was shrouded by a dense purple mist. It was ethereal and illusory, and it was impossible to see its true appearance clearly. It was as if it existed but didn't seem to exist at the same time.
At the foot of the mountain was a huge city that far surpassed Shangyue City. It was said that such a city surrounded the Zixia Mountain. There were also three other cities like this. They were located in four different directions of Zixia Mountain, one in the southeast, the other in the northwest.
Three thousand miles to the east of the Zixia Mountain was a vast ocean known as the East China Sea.
According to the legends, the East China Sea was the territory of the Dragon Race. No one dared to trespass into it without permission!
Ren Xiao was very happy when he saw the city. It was because the road was smooth and smooth. It was a month early and he had a good rest.
"Let's go into the city!" Ren Xiao waved his hand and said excitedly.
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison. They were all very happy. There was no need for them to be afraid anymore.
...
The huge city was located on the south side of Zixia Mountain. It was called the Nanshan City. The city was bustling with noise and excitement. Some warriors, city lords' young masters, and young ladies had arrived earlier than them. It immediately filled the entire Nanshan City with people.
Each city had sent out hundreds of people. It was rare to see a group of people in such a miserable state like the Xingyi City.
A group of people entered the Nanshan City with passing tokens. They did not stay in inns or restaurants, but in an independent manor.
This manor was specially arranged by Ren Xingkong in Nanshan City, and its objective was to come here to do things more convenient. Normally, there was only a butler and a maid in charge of cleaning and cleaning the manor, and it maintained the cleanliness and cleanliness of the manor. * Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Second Young Master, you're here!" Elder Steward was already waiting outside the gate. When he saw Ren Xiao, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully. He then turned to Second Miss, who was wearing a veil, and said, "This old servant Xu Fu greets Second Miss."
This was the first time Second Miss and Ren Biyao had participated in the Zixia Mountain Martial Arts Competition. Although it was the first time Xu Fu, the housekeeper, had seen her, it was not difficult for Xu Fu, who was an experienced person.
"Yes, it has been hard on Housekeeper Xu!" Ren Biyao's voice, which sounded like a green bird, made people feel comfortable when they heard it.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. What this old servant does is what I should do!" Xu Fu was filled with fear and trepidation. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Second Young Master, Second Miss, come in!"
At this moment, a servant hired temporarily from the manor came forward and led the horned horse to the stables in the backyard to raise it. When they entered the manor that looked like a garden, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
A man who looked like a captain of guards led Feng Yimo and the rest of the warriors to the house at the edge of the manor. He arranged for them to stay here and then left.
This house was more than 30 meters long. There were twelve rooms in total. There were two people living in one room. Qing Yu was the only woman. She stayed in one room alone. Feng Yimo also brought Liu Ruomei with him. Naturally, she stayed in one room as well. The remaining ten rooms were given to Lone Wolf, Hsu Mu and the rest respectively.
There were 18 warriors who survived. Including Feng Yimo, there were a total of 19 people. Adding Liu Ruomei, there was a total of 20 people. Because Qing Yu had monopolized one room, there was only one left. It just happened to serve as a public bath, so everyone could take a bath in it.
For some unknown reason, the temperature in Nanshan City was extremely high these days. Along the way, everyone was sweating profusely. They went to the well outside and brought a few buckets of water. It was cool and refreshing as they took a bath in the bath room.
The men did not have much. They went in together. When all the men had finished their bath, Qing Yu went inside alone and covered the windows tightly. Only then did she take off her clothes to take a bath.
Only Liu Ruomei did not know what to do. With her Nascent Infant cultivation base, she was naturally not afraid of the high temperature. However, the people around her were all drenched in sweat. She could not pretend that she was fine. She could only restrain her magic power and make her sweat all over her body. If she were to take a bath with those stinky men, she would not do it even if she was beaten to death.
On the way, every time she bathed, she would run far away and ask Feng Yimo to help her. When she arrived here, she couldn't do it anymore. She was so anxious that she was wandering around. What should she do?
Until everyone left, Liu Ruomei still did not take a bath. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Feng Yimo was the last one to take a bath. He was the only one in the bathroom. He took a quick and comfortable bath, but when he returned to the room, he found Liu Ruomei pulling her face and sighing. She looked like she was in deep hatred. Only then did he remember that she had not taken a bath yet.
"Ahem, Second Miss, wait until midnight. I will let you have some fresh air. How about you take a bath again?" Feng Yimo said.
Liu Ruomei thought about it and decided to do the same.
However, at the banquet, everyone felt refreshed and clean. There was only Liu Ruomei alone. Her body emitted a pungent smell of sweat which attracted the attention of others. It made her want to find a hole to hide in. She did not have the face to see anyone. Before the banquet ended, she left in a hurry.
Qing Yu was very surprised. Liu Duansheng was in the same room with such a person who did not like to be clean. Did he not feel uncomfortable?
