The four city guardians simultaneously attacked Xing Wujiang, surrounding him from four directions. For a moment, murderous intent surged and waves of energy surged, making the entire Demon-Subduing City tremble.
"Oh my god, Demon-Subduing City is about to change."
People exclaimed.
"As the city lord, Xing Wujiang keeps breaking the rules of Fumo City. Today, you must step down and make way for someone else." Gao Jianli of the Zichen Sect pointed his long sword at Xing Wujiang and shouted coldly.
"Yo! Someone who even lost half their last bit of dignity seems to have gained a lot of courage compared to before. If you four don't accept it, go ahead and take action. Facing the siege of the four powerful figures, Xing Wujiang said with utter disdain.
At this moment, Xing Wujiang was alone, but his presence dominated the entire arena, his heroic spirit overwhelming. He didn't even use his weapons, just stood with his hands behind his back, completely disregarding the four of them.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Gao Jianli waved his hand, sending a golden seal flying into the sky. At the same time, Cao Guofeng, the Hall Master of Tianxin Hall, and the Master of the Yellow Springs Pavilion all summoned their own golden seals.
Four golden seals appeared above Demon-Subduing City in four directions: east, south, west, and north. The four seals glowed simultaneously, and the entire city trembled violently.
"Rumble rumble...
All the gates of Fumo City immediately shut shut, and countless light curtains enveloped the city. This massive city was now completely sealed off, unable to enter or exit. For a moment, countless people panicked.
"Xing Wujiang, did you see that? We don't need your main seal; we can still control Demon-Subduing City. Your position as city lord has long been an empty position. Cao Guofeng said through gritted teeth.
Originally, opening or closing Demon-Subduing City required four Golden Great Seals and one main seal to be opened simultaneously. In special cases, three great seals could also be opened, but among the three seals, the main seal must be present.
But today was different. Xing Wujiang didn't need to get involved at all; the four of them could directly order Fangtian Seal to close Demon-Subduing City, further proving that the main seal's power had been greatly weakened.
"Xing Wujiang, hand over the Purple-Gold Main Seal. Out of years of friendship, we can spare your life." Gao Jianli shouted coldly.
For a moment, the billions of powerful figures in Demon-Subduing City trembled in fear. Now, with nowhere to run, they could only quietly watch the contest for city lord.
What they feared most was that if Xing Wujiang got provoked and it all ended in mutual destruction, who knows if everyone in Fumo City would be dragged down with them.
Facing the sudden change before him, Xing Wujiang always wore a smile, as if everything had been expected. Faced with the provocations of the four, he was not angry but instead felt a genuine compassion.
"What are you laughing at?"
The Pavilion Master of Tianxin Pavilion looked at Xing Wujiang, her heart uneasy from the laughter, and she couldn't help but shout harshly.
"He laughed at you for looking like a ghost, yet you even dreamed of becoming the city lord."
Xing Wujiang was about to speak when Mo Nian from inside the city couldn't help but interject.
It must be said, Mo Nian had a sharp tongue. He knew that the Pavilion Master of Tianxin Pavilion was most wary of people talking about her looks; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so jealous of Clan Chief Yuluo back then.
As soon as Mo Nian spoke, the Pavilion Master of Tianxin Pavilion trembled with anger. Her face twisted like underwear as she shrill and roared:
"Fools of the Fire God Hall, when else are you going to act if you don't act?"
"You're the real idiot. Your whole family are idiots. You're such an ugly, old, and short-lived old hag."
As soon as the Master of Tianxin Pavilion finished speaking, furious shouts of curses erupted from the void. A group of figures appeared—it was Jiang Yizhou leading the Fire God Hall experts into the spotlight.
Their faces were filled with anger. It turned out that in order to kill Long Chen, they had not left Demon-Subduing City. With Cao Yuyang's guidance, they avoided the main seal's surveillance and quietly infiltrated Demon-Subduing City.
Originally, they had planned to have Jiang Yuyang act as the invoke to lure Long Chen out, while Jiang Yizhou and the others were responsible for capturing Long Chen. If Xing Wujiang made a move, four people would hold him back.
Jiang Yizhou feared Xing Wujiang partly because of his formidable strength, and he didn't want to confront Xing Wujiang head-on.
On the other hand, and what he feared most, was that if Xing Wujiang was pushed to the limit and he used the power of the Fangtian Seal, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.
As things escalated to this point, whether Long Chen suddenly changed his luck or Cao Yuyang's misfortune was unclear, Cao Guofeng and the others had only made a preliminary plan at first, and Cao Yuyang was present at the time.
While it was time to finalize the details, Cao Yuyang was not present. But just then, news of Long Chen and Mo Nian appearing reached Cao Yuyang's ears.
Cao Yuyang immediately followed the plan, but as soon as he stepped forward, Long Chen and Mo Nian easily manipulated him, not even giving him a chance to show his true strength—he was killed off immediately.
Cao Yuyang was probably crying on the road to the underworld right now. According to the plan, the moment Long Chen made his move, a master would have taken him down.
As long as Long Chen "acts," the experts of the four major cities will have a reason to act. Once they act, it will surely alert Xing Wujiang, and once Xing Wujiang appears, the four great powerhouses can seal him off, allowing them to catch both big and small fish together.
However, Cao Yuyang didn't know that his father's experts were still nitpicking details, studying loopholes, and trying to be foolproof.
By the time they finalized the details, Cao Yuyang, the bait, had already been taken down. At that moment, Cao Guofeng nearly went mad and rushed over immediately.
At this point, the four city guards and Xing Wujiang had completely torn off the relationship, while the Fire God Temple, following the plan, still delayed capturing Long Chen.
It should be known that as long as Jiang Yizhou and the others intervened, Xing Wujiang would surely intervene to save them, allowing them to seize the opportunity and gain the upper hand.
Although there were four of them, Xing Wujiang's reputation was too great. They dared not act rashly and were waiting for the best moment. Meanwhile, the Fire God Hall's experts had not shown themselves for a long time, and Xing Wujiang appeared completely under control, which made them extremely anxious.
Mo Nian insulted the Pavilion Master of Tianxin Pavilion. Overwhelmed with anger and anger, the Pavilion Master ignored everything else and cursed loudly, actually forcing Jiang Yizhou and the others to come out.
"Attack!"
Jiang Yizhou waved his large hand, instantly sealing off all the space around Long Chen. After sealing it off, four people wielding flaming chains charged at Long Chen and Mo Nian from four directions.
"Fire God Temple, have you really considered the consequences of doing this?" Facing the Fire God Hall's attack, Xing Wujiang shouted coldly.
"You should take good care of yourself. You don't even know how to live. Still have the heart to pity others? Jiang Yizhou shook his head and said.
"Alright, if that's the case, then don't blame me."
Xing Wujiang stretched out his large hand, and the Purple-Gold Great Seal appeared in his palm. When the seal appeared, mocking expressions appeared on Gao Jianli and the others' faces, because at this moment, the Purple-Gold Great Seal was like a useless piece and completely unable to control the Fangtian Seal.
"Boom!"
But a scene that shocked everyone unfolded: endless runes intertwined across the earth, like waves converging into a pillar of light, rising from below toward the four Heavenly Saints of the Fire God Hall.
"Not good"
When he saw this scene, Jiang Yizhou's expression changed dramatically, and the mocking expressions on Gao Jianli and the others vanished, replaced by shock.
