My place is on fire

As the saying goes, it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality.

It is easy to go from living in the wild and the mountains to getting used to the debauchery of the city.

But it is difficult to return from the life of debauchery to the hard life in the wild mountains.

For thousands of years, the Sikong family has never relaxed their pursuit of the Shangguan clan.

It is better to kill by mistake than to let the criminal go. Kill everyone you see.

Similarly, the Shangguan clan has never stopped infiltrating the Sikong family and the City Lord's Mansion.

The two tribes have been fighting for thousands of years, and their hatred for each other has long been engraved in their bones.

Shangguan Wenjie is the highest-ranking person among the Shangguan clan who has infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion.

Shangguan Hu has always placed high hopes on him and provided him with a lot of support in terms of manpower and material resources.

Without Shangguan Hu's unremitting support, he would not have reached his current position.

However, Shangguan Hu never expected that the person he regarded as his own brother would turn around and stab him in the back!

The Sikong clan spent thousands of years but failed to wipe out the Shangguan clan.

At last……

It's really ironic that the Shangguan clan was wiped out by their own people!
"It's over, Patriarch. He who knows the times is a hero."

"With our limited manpower, we are not even enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of the elite guards of the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention..."

"There are now more than 3 guards in the Sky City, and our entire tribe, young and old, totals less than 1000."

"What can I use to compete with others? What can I use to fight with others?"

"The more I learn about the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, the more I feel sorry for you, Patriarch."

"You have no idea how powerful your opponent is now!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that City Lord Sikong alone can wipe out your entire army!"

Shangguan Wenjie's mind moved, and he took out a big knife from the space ring on his finger, raised his leg and walked towards Shangguan Hu who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"Master Patriarch, to be honest, I admired you at the beginning, but until now..."

Shangguan Wenjie looked at Shangguan Hu with eyes full of pity.

"Right now, I have nothing but sympathy for you. I feel like you are a frog sitting at the bottom of a well."

"You really should visit Sky City more often and see how different the current situation is from before."

"The glory of the Shangguan family has come to an end. It is impossible to continue the glory."

"Idiot's dream!"

When Shangguan Wenjie finished speaking, he stopped and stood in front of Shangguan Hu.

"Bah! Traitor!"

Shangguan Hu spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto Shangguan Wenjie's face.

"Hahaha……"

Shangguan Wenjie laughed a few times, not caring at all and not angry at all. He looked at Shangguan Hu with sympathy in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he also regarded Shangguan Hu as his idol and his brother.

but……

Time passes.

Now the two are on opposite sides.

Having gotten used to the affluent life in Sky City, it is impossible to get Shangguan Wenjie to return!
And, about the Shangguan clan's revenge on the Sikong clan.

In Shangguan Wenjie's opinion, it was an impossible thing to do, it was totally like hitting a rock with an egg!

The Shangguan family has been hiding for thousands of years, and it is already very difficult for them to survive.

Over the past thousands of years, there have been more than a dozen clan leaders, and the one with the highest combat power has only just reached the threshold of a 9th-level warrior!

During the same thousands of years, the Sikong family took over the City Lord's Mansion and had a large amount of resources to support them.

The number of ninth-level masters trained is countless, at least hundreds of them!
There are more than a dozen people who have exceeded level 9 and reached the level of Grandmaster.

Although Sikong Zhen is the only one who has surpassed the grandmaster and reached the super god realm, he is enough to form an army by himself.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Sikong Zhen came alone, he could easily wipe out the Shangguan clan.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too big, they are not at the same level of power at all, there is no comparison at all!
This huge difference is also one of the main reasons why Shangguan Wenjie betrayed the Shangguan clan.

I can’t win, I can’t win at all, there is no hope of winning, only deep despair.

"From now on, there will be no more Shangguan clan in Sky City. After sending you away, I will also send the eldest lady to join you."

Shangguan Wenjie had a calm expression on his face. He was not ashamed at all but proud of it.

"Asshole! If you dare to harm Qingluan, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Shangguan Hu glared at Shangguan Wenjie and roared loudly, burning with rage.

His daughter Shangguan Qingluan has always been his Achilles' heel.

He could die calmly, but he would not allow anyone to hurt his daughter.

"Hahaha, then just become a ghost first! Chief, please go on your way!"

After Shangguan Wenjie finished speaking, he raised the big knife in his hand high, a sinister expression flashed across his face, and then he quickly chopped towards Shangguan Hu's neck!
"Qingluan..."

Shangguan Hu sighed. He had no fear or terror before he died. The only thing he was worried about was his daughter.

It's sizzling!

"what!!!"

Just as Shangguan Hu closed his eyes and waited for death to come, Shangguan Wenjie's screams suddenly rang in his ears.

"Ok?"

Shangguan Hu's eyes suddenly opened and he was stunned by the scene before him.

A broad-bladed sword was suspended above his head, less than 5 centimeters away.

What is surprising and puzzling is that the sword is just suspended in the air without any support.

The scream just now came from its owner, Shangguan Wenjie.

Shangguan Wenjie's entire right arm and half of his body had disappeared.

The wounds all over its body looked like a piece of tofu had been cut.

"Ah... damn... who is that person!"

Under the severe pain, Shangguan Wenjie could hardly stand. He fell to the ground and rolled on the ground holding his wound in pain.

"Father!!!"

Shangguan Hu suddenly turned around and looked behind him. The moment his eyes met his daughter's, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Just now, Shangguan Hu thought that his life had come to an end and he was ready to die.

The only obsession in his heart was that he was unable to see his daughter again and say goodbye to her before he died.

Now, he suddenly saw his long-cherished daughter.

Even a tough guy can't help but reveal his soft side.

and……

Seeing the giant sword floating in the air and Shangguan Wenjie rolling on the ground, Shangguan Hu also realized that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better!

"Qingluan!!"

When Shangguan Hu saw his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was instantly filled with joy and touched.

"Father! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm late..."

After Shangguan Qingluan landed on the ground, she rushed to her father's side. Looking at the horrible and hideous wounds on his body, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!

Puff, puff, puff, puff... "Ah!!!"

Luo Xuning thought for a moment and took out a piece of fine Tianyin bamboo sword from the holy relic ring.

Under the control of his mind, it instantly transformed into ninety-nine and eighty-one bamboo knives, flying directly towards the invaders wearing tone-colored combat uniforms.

The enemy and our camps are still easy to identify.

The Shangguan clan are all wearing clothes made of various fabrics and furs.

The group of invaders, led by Shangguan Wenjie, were all wearing silver combat uniforms.

You can tell friend from foe at a glance.

Under Luo Xuning's mental control, the bamboo knives transformed from the elite Tianyin bamboo were like sharp scalpels, cutting through the bodies or necks of the invaders.

The invaders were all members of the Sky City Elite Guard, and most of them were at level 7 to 8.

For ordinary warriors, the strength of level 7~8 warriors is already very strong.

Many people practice for their entire lives but never achieve such an accomplishment.

But to Luo Xuning, they were destined to be cannon fodder and could withstand no attack!
Swish swish, swish swish--!

In less than 10 seconds, the members of the elite guard who had been so arrogant and murderous just now fell to the ground one by one and died instantly.

This massacre, which was supposed to be an overwhelming victory for one side, ended in a role reversal.

The winners became the Shangguan clan.

The members of the elite guard became the targets of slaughter!
"Thank you, God! Thank you, God! Thank you, God!"

"Thank you, Savior!"

"May our Lord Savior live forever and have great merits!"

The surviving members of the Shangguan clan, without Shangguan Hu's orders, knelt down one by one to express their gratitude to Luo Xuning!

If Luo Xuning's 'divine troops descended from the sky' had not arrived today, no one from the Shangguan clan present at the scene would have left alive.

In a sense, he is the savior of the Shangguan clan, he is a god!
Shangguan Hu looked at Luo Shuning, then at his surviving tribesmen, and his heart was filled with gratitude towards Luo Shuning.

"Father, this is my husband Luo Xuning. I didn't tell you in advance that I was with my husband. I hope you won't blame me."

When Shangguan Qingluan introduced Luo Xuning as her husband, the expression on her face was slightly unnatural.

"I can't thank Mr. Luo enough, so how can I blame him!"

Shangguan Hu was not such a pedantic person. He looked at Luo Xuning and became more and more satisfied with this future son-in-law!
"Thank you, Mr. Luo. Thank you! If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have already passed away."

Just now, Shangguan Wenjie's big knife was only a little more than 5 centimeters away from his head.

If Luo Xuning had hesitated for half a second, his body would probably have been torn apart and become a corpse!

"Thank you for saving my people. I will never forget your kindness to me and our Shangguan Clan!"

"From now on, as long as you say a word, Shangguan Hu will follow your command!"

Shangguan Hu expressed his gratitude to Luo Xuning with an eager look on his face.

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

For Luo Xuning, today's little scene was indeed a trivial matter.

"It may be a small matter to you, but to me and our Shangguan clan, it is a matter of life and death."

"If you hadn't helped me, there would be no Shangguan clan in this world anymore, and my clansmen and I would all be killed by the traitors!"

When talking about traitors, Shangguan Hu suddenly turned around and looked at Shangguan Wenjie who was rolling on the ground.

All the rebels were killed by Luo Xuning using a bamboo knife.

In the end, only Shangguan Wenjie, the instigator and the most "evil" person, was left.

He glanced towards the battlefield, looking at his own people lying in a pool of blood.

Men, women, old people, children...

Those tribesmen who were still alive in front of him yesterday have now turned into cold corpses.

All this is thanks to the traitor in front of me!
Do not……

Shangguan Hu suddenly knelt down in the direction of the dead tribesmen.

Blame yourself!

Strong sense of self-blame!
I also have an unshirkable responsibility for everything that happened today!
It was his trust in Shangguan Wenjie that gave him the opportunity.

It was my own negligence that prevented me from noticing his treachery early on, which led to today's tragedy!
My own responsibility...is no less than Shangguan Wenjie's!
"what!!!!"

Shangguan Hu roared to the sky, tears flowing freely in the wrinkles on his weathered face.

"Father……"

"Clan leader..."

Shangguan Qingluan and the surviving members of the Shangguan tribe gathered behind Shangguan Hu.

Seeing his extremely sad appearance, everyone felt uncomfortable.

Some elderly people and women and children could not help crying out loud.

In the battle just now, some people lost their husbands, some lost their parents, and some lost their children...

Today is the most tragic and painful lesson for the Shangguan tribe in the past few hundred years.

"Shangguan Wenjie!"

Shangguan Hu roared angrily and looked again at Shangguan Wenjie, who was curled up on the ground like a dog, holding his wounds and struggling to survive.

The survivors of the Shangguan tribe all looked at Shangguan Wenjie, their eyes filled with resentment.

"I'm sorry, Chief... I'm sorry..."

"I was wrong, please, please forgive me."

"I will definitely change my bad behavior from now on, definitely, definitely..."

In the face of death, Shangguan Wenjie no longer had his previous arrogance and authority, and began to cry and beg for mercy.

Even though he felt that it was unlikely that Shangguan Hu would spare him, but...

He would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

"I spared you, who spared them!"

Shangguan Hu pointed at the tribesmen who had died in the fight on the ground, his face filled with grief.

"Please, Chief, please, for the sake of our decades of friendship..."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Shangguan Wenjie begged desperately while enduring the severe pain.

Swish!
Shangguan Hu raised his knife and slashed it, and Shangguan Wenjie's head flew seven or eight meters away and rolled into a small hole on the ground like a ball.

Seeing Shangguan Wenjie's tragic death, there was a moment of silence at the scene. Everyone bowed their heads silently and mourned for about ten minutes.

After the moment of silence, Shangguan Hu turned around with difficulty and looked at Shangguan Qingluan, asking:

"Qingluan, are you willing to return to the tribe and inherit my position as the chief?"

This time Shangguan Hu asked questions instead of giving direct orders.

Through Shangguan Wenjie's incident, he suddenly realized that it would be very difficult for those who had left to come back.

Shangguan Qingluan did not directly answer his father's question, but said:

"Father, I came back this time to tell you a very important news."

"what news?"

Shangguan Hu frowned slightly, looking very curious.

Shangguan Qingluan didn't beat around the bush with her father and said directly:
"My husband will help our Shangguan clan regain control of the Sky City and ascend the throne again."

"From now on, we don't have to hide anymore" (End of this chapter)
