Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Lv Qin’s Helplessness Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Lv Qin’s Helplessness “Liu Family, follow me, kill!”

“Ma Family men, charge with me!”

“Li Family youths, follow me and annihilate them!”

The clan leaders of the Liu, Ma, and Li Families all drew their weapons and led their family members into the fray.

The battle became increasingly fierce.

The elders of the Jing Family also joined the slaughter.

Innate to Innate, Postnatal to Postnatal.

The battlefield outside the Jing Family Mansion swiftly expanded, with the sounds of close-quarter combat rising and falling in waves.

Every moment, someone fell, their blood pooling into crimson rivulets on the ground.

From a comprehensive view of the battlefield, the Jing Family side was at an absolute disadvantage, vastly outnumbered by the Zhao Family.

Inside the Donglin City Lord’s Mansion.

The Chief Manager Shi Xuan hurried towards the City Lord’s private courtyard!

“Madam!”

“The fight has erupted; Zhao Dangyuan and Cai Yunjian have brought a large number of martial artists to attack the Jing Family.”

Standing before Shi Xuan was none other than Huo Chunyang’s wife, Lv Qin.

“Shi Xuan, take two hundred Armored Guards to support the Jing Family,” Lv Qin said anxiously.

During this period, since Huo Chunyang went missing, her primary concern had been searching for her husband.

Although she had been paying some attention to the situation in Donglin City, she was powerless to control it.

“Yes!” replied Shi Xuan, preparing to go and assemble the Armored Guard to support the Jing Family.

“Madam, there’s no need to hurry with this matter!”

At that moment, another voice chimed in.

Following that, Deputy City Lord Chen Bing, wearing a smile, walked in.

“Deputy City Lord Chen Bing, what are you here for?” Lv Qin’s face turned cold as she demanded an answer from Chen Bing.

“Heh, of course, I need to be here.

I just overheard you instructing Chief Manager Shi Xuan to take the Armored Guard out.

I’m afraid that’s not appropriate,” Chen Bing said with a sneer.

From his demeanor, it was apparent that he didn’t hold much respect for Lv Qin.

“What’s inappropriate about it?” Lv Qin retorted.

“Madam, there’s something you may not realize.

The City Lord is now missing, and he’s not in Donglin City.

As the Deputy City Lord, I naturally have the authority to fully command the City Lord’s Armored Guard,” said Chen Bing with a smile.

“Chen Bing, you had better understand your position.

You’re just the Deputy City Lord, not the City Lord.

What right do you have to command the Armored Guard?” Lv Qin trembled with anger.

“I’m well aware of that, but until the new City Lord arrives, I’m responsible for the City Lord’s Mansion, and it’s completely justified.

As for you, Madam, heh, you are merely the wife of Huo Chunyang.

It would be best if you didn’t interfere in the affairs of the City Lord’s Mansion,” Chen Bing scoffed, growing increasingly insolent.

“Chen Bing, don’t get too cocky.

Chunyang might not be here now, but he could return at any time,” Lv Qin repressed her anger and spoke sternly.

“Madam, you might as well wake up.

Huo Chunyang can no longer return.

I might as well tell you—Patriarch Zhao has informed me that Huo Chunyang has died in the Black Stone Mountain Range.

It’s likely that not even his bones remain!” Chen Bing said with a face full of pride.

When Huo Chunyang was around, Chen Bing acted obediently and didn’t dare to overstep.

This bastard really knew how to bide his time and even deceived Huo Chunyang.

Now that he knew Huo Chunyang wouldn’t be returning, he showed his true colors.

If he weren’t sure of Huo Chunyang’s death, how would he have the gall to speak to Lv Qin like this?

Hearing Wang Bing’s words, Lv Qin felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety.

“Chunyang can’t be dead!” Lv Qin bit her lip until it bled.

She knew that it was unlikely Huo Chunyang would return.

If Wang Bing wasn’t certain of this, how would he dare to be so rude?

“Shi Xuan, take people to support the Jing Family,” Lv Qin turned to Shi Xuan and commanded.

“Yes!” Shi Xuan responded respectfully.

“Stop!” Wang Bing shouted at Shi Xuan, “Shi Xuan, you’re just a Chief Manager, how dare you defy me?”

“I only have one master, Wang Bing.

Step aside,” Shi Xuan’s eyes hardened, glaring fiercely at Wang Bing.

“Heh, Lv Qin, it seems you have raised a loyal dog!” Wang Bing’s gaze shifted from Shi Xuan back to Lv Qin.

“Even if I am a loyal dog, I’m still far better than you, a treacherous wolf.

The City Lord treated you so well, yet you betrayed him.

Wang Bing, you will regret this.

I’m sure of it, you will definitely not die a good death!” Shi Xuan shouted angrily.

“Shi Xuan, you’re seeking death!” Wang Bing’s aura tensed, ready to make a move.

“Go ahead and try!” Shi Xuan’s aura surged up suddenly.

“Innate Peak?

When did you become an Innate Peak Martial Artist?” Wang Bing was shocked.

In his impression, Shi Xuan had always been a Late Innate Realm Martial Artist.

But now, the aura climbing from Shi Xuan indicated that he had reached the Innate Peak Realm.

Wang Bing, who was also at the Innate Peak Realm, had not yet advanced to the Dao Spirit Realm.

“You don’t know a lot of things!” Shi Xuan said with a cold laugh.

“Hmph, even if you are at the Innate Peak, it is impossible for you to mobilize the City Lord’s Guard!” Wang Bing suppressed the shock in his heart and stared coldly at Shi Xuan.

Afterward, Wang Bing walked out of the room.

“Madam, what should we do?

Wang Bing is obstructing us, and I fear that even if I can mobilize some Armored Guards, we won’t be able to leave the City Lord’s Mansion.

Wang Bing is the Deputy City Lord; many of the Armored Guards will follow his commands!

If I forcibly lead people to break out, I’m afraid it might lead to a fight with Wang Bing,” Shi Xuan said with a heavy expression.

Lv Qin nodded.

“We really should have let Chunyang kill him from the beginning!”

“Forget it, I’ve done what I could.

The Jing Family’s matters are beyond my control now.

Alas, the Jing Family can only depend on themselves!” Lv Qin waved her hand dismissively, her energy seemingly drained all at once, slumping into her chair.

After all, she was just a woman, and within the City Lord’s Mansion, she truly had no official power to command the Armored Guards.

Most of those guards probably would only listen to the Deputy City Lord Chen Bing.

She wanted to help the Jing Family but was powerless to do so.

Outside the Jing Family Mansion.

“Swoosh!” A flash of azure Sword Light suddenly penetrated the sky, entering the fray.

“Sizzling sounds!”

Along with the surge of the Sword Light, several Zhao Family Martial Artists died under the sword light.

A figure also became clear.

“Qin Yu!”

Zhao Dangyuan bellowed angrily.

The person who had just rushed into the fray was none other than the First Floor’s Chief Manager, Qin Yu.

Judging by his aura, he, too, was at the Innate Peak Realm, and was even nearing the Dao Spirit Realm!

“Whoosh!”

“Kill!” Qin Yu disregarded Zhao Dangyuan’s low shout, fervently channeling Primordial Energy, practicing Martial Arts, and reaping the lives of Zhao Family Martial Artists.

“Chief Manager Qin Yu, why have you come?” Jing Chengye looked at Qin Yu with some surprise.

“I owe Old Clan Leader Jing Tian a life; it’s time to repay it,” Qin Yu said, smiling at Jing Chengye.

Clearly, Qin Yu came today with a resolve to die.

He said he owed a life to Jing Yan’s grandfather, Jing Tian.

This matter was something the Jing Family did not know.
