Peerless Divine Doctor in the City of Flowers
Chapter 676: Nighttime Slaughter

Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Nighttime Slaughter

The sky gradually darkened.

As the sun set in the west, a full moon had already risen in the sky.

This was the rare sight of the sun and moon shining together.

The Ning Mansion was completely silent.

At this moment, in East Cross Court, Ni Chang had already arranged the twelve items representing Yin and Yang neatly.

She then joined Ning Mengyao in placing Lin Fan within the formation.

He, still seemingly asleep, showed no reaction.

"Meng Yao, embrace him from behind, keep him as upright as possible, then close your eyes and no matter what happens outside, do not open them. Because I will use the Summoning Skill to traverse chaos, you might hear strange noises, but ignore them. Just hold firmly onto Lin Fan,"

Before starting the spell, Ni Chang instructed Ning Mengyao.

All that followed was unknown, even to herself.

"Yes, I understand,"

Ning Mengyao held tightly onto Lin Fan’s waist from behind.

She leaned his body against her own chest for support.

"Alright, then I will begin."

Ni Chang stepped outside the circle, then clasped her hands and began to chant rapidly.

This was an ancient Soul Returning Skill, capable of guiding lost souls through the ages.

Suddenly, wind arose from stillness.

Following immediately, a tornado erupted, completely engulfing the two of them.

Under a flurry of sand and stones, it seemed as if it connected to some place at the center of the universe.

The lighting of Yin and Yang also added an eerie effect to the scene.

"Lin Fan, wake up quickly. There are so many things waiting for you to handle here."

The spell took effect, causing Ni Chang to shed two lines of hot tears.

This also implied that, whether the spell could recall Lin Fan’s lost soul or not,

she would have to deliver the body to the princess of the pond moon according to the agreement.

From then on, she would live hidden in the corners of that body, forever trapped in slumber.

However, at this moment, she could not yet afford to feel sorrowful, as a large group of people had already rushed to the scene.

With Gong Changjun kicking open the gate of Ning Mansion.

Today, the Gong Family was set to blood-wash this place.

"Do people from the Gong Family always lack manners so much?"

But before Gong Changjun could yell, Shangguan Qingyun, seated on a bench in the courtyard, slowly lifted his head.

A chill of murderous aura began to spread.

"Shangguan Qingyun, are you here to stand up for the Ning Family?"

Gong Changjun, with a dark face, led a dozen skilled members of the Gong Family inside.

"Do you think, just by yourself from the Chu Family, you can stop the Gong Family?"

For years, the Gong Family had firmly held the top position in Jiangning, and although the Shangguan Family had produced Qingyun, he was outnumbered. Even if he was exceptional, if the current members of the Gong Family swarmed him, he would gain little advantage.

Besides, the Gong Family also had masters like Gong Qiliang.

"That remains to be seen!"

Shangguan Qingyun’s voice was still cold.

And from behind him in West Cross Court, more than ten people emerged.

Each moved flexibly, with cold and battle-hardened eyes. Clearly, they were seasoned warriors.

These were the bodyguards arranged by the City Lord to protect Lin Fan.

"Shangguan Qingyun, are you ready to burn bridges?"

Gong Changjun glared at Shangguan Qingyun, initially planning to deal with Lin Fan before turning to face him.

He had not expected him to step in so quickly.

"Gong Changjun, stop beating around the bush with me. Do you really think I don’t know that if Lin Fan were to die, you would definitely not spare the Shangguan Family? Since keeping a low profile is just as fatal, might as well face off directly and see who has the last laugh!"

Shangguan Qingyun stood up, and with a flick of his hand, a flash of cold light crossed the air.

The sharp long sword was now in his hand, and today he was ready to confront the Gong Family head-on.

"You are playing with fire!"

Gong Changjun clenched his fists.

The involvement of the Shangguan Family truly disrupted his original plans.

"Who is playing with fire remains to be seen!"

Shangguan Qingyun, with a stern face, said, "Leave now, and I will not pursue you. Dare to take a step further, and I will show no mercy!"

The atmosphere was thick with the intent to battle, and both sides were ready to strike at any moment.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of Gong Changjun; it was Gong Qiliang, the elder patriarch of the Gong Family.

"Shangguan Qingyun, when I made my name, you were still but a child. Do you really think you can stop me?"

"Without trying, who knows what might happen? I have long desired a showdown with the elder patriarch of the Gong Family to see if you still possess the strength to claim dominance over Jiangning!"

Shangguan Qingyun, still grim-faced, watched as Ni Chang, emerging from the East Cross Court, tightly gripped her soft sword.

Her phoenix eyes gleaming coldly, she stared directly at the people of the Gong Family.

The curse was already in motion; she was ready to face the enemy. And according to her calculations, they were not without a chance of victory.

The strongest here was naturally Gong Qiliang, but next in line were she and Shangguan Qingyun. Gong Changjun could only rank fourth, which meant they still had something to wager on.

As long as they dispatched Gong Changjun swiftly and then faced Gong Qiliang two against one, there might be no certainty of his victory.

As for the others, with the city lord’s guards present, it was impossible for them to add to the chaos.

"It seems you were well-prepared."

Gong Qiliang, squinting his eyes, naturally had his assessments as an old fox.

The presence of Zhao Jiaqi made him cautious; getting entangled with her would mean his son stood no chance against Shangguan Qingyun.

So, although the battle seemed evenly matched, the Gong Family was at a disadvantage.

"How would we dare confront you, an old fox, without preparation?"

Shangguan Qingyun, stony-faced, knew that once today’s battle commenced, one family would vanish forever.

This was the tragic reality of cultivating families and the reason they were reluctant to stir up trouble.

So now, he was also gambling, gambling that the Gong Family would not dare to strike.

As tensions mounted between the two, a figure slowly emerged from the courtyard.

"Mr. Gong, they say seeing is believing, who’d have thought we’d meet here today!"

City Lord Jiang Baoguo, with a smile, walked to Shangguan Qingyun’s side, looking at the Gong Family across from them.

"No wonder there are so many skilled masters suddenly. It turns out it’s because the city lord himself has intervened!"

Gong Changjun recognized Jiang Baoguo, but clearly, he didn’t regard him highly.

After all, the might of a martial cultivating family far surpassed that of a city lord.

"Not at all; being the lord of the city, I’d still prefer to see Jiangning peaceful and untroubled. So I also hope that today both sides can avoid conflict and possibly sit down to discuss matters slowly. I’m not sure if the Ning Family would afford me this courtesy?"

Jiang Baoguo, with a smile, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

His father had already spoken; no matter what, they must protect Lin Fan. So he had marshaled all the visible forces here, just to make the Gong Family think twice before acting.

"City lord, Lin Fa and I have a vengeance as deep as killing a son. Do you think this courtesy is enough?"

Gong Changjun, holding his sword tightly, glared venomously at Jiang Baoguo, who simply responded with a faint smile, "If courtesy is insufficient, we’ll have to resort to strength. If the Gong Family is willing, from this day forward, I, Jiang Baoguo, will also be your opponent, and the Jiang Family of Modu will fight with all its might. Can your Gong Family withstand that?"
