The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2332 - 2321: Come Out and Die?
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
Emerging from the enigmatic void, Ye Chenfeng found himself disoriented regarding his precise whereabouts. His immediate priority was to journey back to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin with utmost haste.
With a casual selection of a direction, he launched himself into the air, propelling forward. His aim was to locate a populated area to ascertain his current location.
Approximately five hours of aerial travel later.
A city finally materialized within Ye Chenfeng's sight. Upon descending near the city's entrance, he observed the characters 'Qitian City' prominently displayed at the apex of the imposing city walls.
A steady stream of cultivators, appearing to be in a hurry, continuously emerged from beyond the gates.
Upon entering this hub for cultivators.
The thoroughfares teemed with bustling cultivators, though the majority were not of considerable power, their strength generally falling below the Heavenly God Realm.
Ye Chenfeng now required the assistance of a grand teleportation array to hasten his return to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.
Constructing such an array himself would prove exceedingly time-consuming. The distance separating his current position from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin was undoubtedly vast, potentially demanding two to three days to erect a stable, large-scale teleportation array.
The most expedient method involved utilizing the teleportation array already present within the cultivator city.
After entering Qitian City, Ye Chenfeng approached a passing cultivator and made inquiries regarding the city's circumstances.
Through this cultivator's account, he gathered that.
Qitian City was merely a minor settlement for cultivators, lacking any grand teleportation arrays. Furthermore, its location was in a remote sector of Central State, exceptionally distant from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.
The closest major cultivator city to Qitian City would likely necessitate five continuous days of travel, and only these larger cities housed the requisite grand teleportation arrays.
Nevertheless, a privately owned, smaller teleportation array was situated within the City Lord's Mansion of Qitian City. While this smaller array could not directly transport him to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, it offered a route to the nearest significant cultivator city.
From there, leveraging the grand teleportation arrays in the larger city, Ye Chenfeng could then be transported directly to the environs of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, representing his quickest return option.
Having noted the location of the City Lord's Mansion and resolved to proceed there immediately.
The benevolent cultivator who had been assisting Ye Chenfeng added, "Young brother, I strongly advise against venturing to the City Lord's Mansion. Central State is currently in a state of extreme turmoil, with numerous powerful individuals flocking to the vicinity of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin to partake in the unfolding events. It is rumored that the Xiao Yao Palace, Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Jins are poised to lay waste to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin."
"Amidst this widespread instability, the tranquility of every cultivator city has been shattered, particularly in outlying settlements like ours. The progenitor who oversees Qitian City's City Lord's Mansion possesses a cultivation base no higher than the Middle Stage Heavenly God Realm's Seventh Layer."
"Just yesterday, word spread that two demonic cultivators arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. It is said these two had past grievances with the City Lord's Mansion's progenitor. Now, both demonic cultivators have achieved breakthroughs to the Initial Stage Divine King Realm. Exploiting the prevailing chaos in Central State, they have seized control of the Qitian City Lord's Mansion."
"Since yesterday, the City Lord's Mansion has remained sealed. No one dares to investigate its interior, and many cultivators from Qitian City are making preparations for a temporary departure. I too must be on my way."
Coincidentally, Ye Chenfeng had sought assistance from a remarkably helpful cultivator. Upon concluding his explanation, this cultivator proceeded towards the city gates.
Ye Chenfeng, however, remained unfazed by the presence of any Initial Stage Divine King Realm demonic cultivators within the City Lord's Mansion. His sole focus was an expeditious return to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, and he swiftly moved towards the City Lord's Mansion.
As Ye Chenfeng drew progressively nearer to Qitian City's City Lord's Mansion.
The gates of the City Lord's Mansion were found to be firmly shut.
Within the confines of the City Lord's Mansion, the ground was littered with the fallen.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Two aged men, clad in black robes with visages etched by wrinkles, occupied chairs within the hall. A sinister demonic Qi emanated from their beings; these were the very demonic cultivators who now commanded the City Lord's Mansion. They were siblings, both having attained the Initial Stage Divine King Realm. The elder brother was known as Wu Shunyan, and the younger was Wu Shunmu.
Aside from these two elders, three other living individuals were present in the hall.
The City Lord’s Mansion met its doom as an elder robed in white and a middle-aged man lay incapacitated on the polished floor, utterly stripped of their combat prowess. The elder, identified as Pan Shixue, the ancestor of the City Lord's household, and a cultivator at the Middle Stage Heavenly God Realm Layer Seven, found himself rivaled by the other, Pan Zhiyi, the City Lord himself, who despite being at the Late Stage Heavenly God Realm Layer Three, was equally defeated.
The sole conscious survivor was a woman of striking beauty, her body rendered immobile by sealed acupoints. This was Pan Sisi, Pan Zhiyi’s daughter, her cultivation base at the Initial Stage Spirit God Realm Layer One. Tragically, these three were the only souls left breathing within the City Lord’s Mansion.
Skeletal remains of women littered the hall's floor; all were unclothed, their final expressions a testament to excruciating agony.
The culprits, Wu Shunyan and Wu Shunmu, a pair of elder brothers, practiced a vile technique that allowed them to siphon the life essence from women’s bodies, thereby augmenting their own strength. This dark art necessitated the act of intimacy between man and woman.
At this grim juncture, every woman in the City Lord’s Mansion, save for the paralyzed Pan Sisi, had been utterly drained by these two nefarious elders.
Pan Shixue and Pan Zhiyi, stripped of their ability to fight, burned with helpless fury. Unable to rise, they could only watch as the women of their household were systematically violated and consumed by Wu Shunyan and Wu Shunmu.
With their grim task largely complete, Wu Shunyan and Wu Shunmu turned their predatory gazes towards Pan Sisi. Tears streamed down her face as she replayed the horrific scenes that had transpired.
Sensing their attention, Pan Sisi’s eyes widened, a chasm of despair opening within her.
Wu Shunyan addressed the prone Pan Shixue, his voice laden with taunting satisfaction, “You crippled both my brother and me back then. Did you ever imagine we would surpass you after all these years?”
Summoning his remaining strength, Pan Shixue, still pinned to the ground, roared, “If only I’d known, I never would have shown you mercy!”
Wu Shunmu let out a derisive snort. “Who told you to be so soft-hearted? Do you comprehend the meaning of being weak? This little game will conclude shortly, once we've had our way with the last woman in your mansion.”
Pan Zhiyi, witnessing his daughter on the brink of unspeakable violation, cried out, “Desist!”
As Wu Shunyan and Wu Shunmu advanced on Pan Sisi with chilling smiles, their steps faltered. Their attention snapped towards the hall's entrance. Wu Shunyan bellowed, “Who dares lurk in the shadows? Reveal yourself and face death!”
A figure clad in black robes, Ye Chenfeng, strode into the hall. The scene that greeted him caused his brow to furrow slightly, and he perceptible dampened his imposing aura.
However, his presence was not entirely concealed, and Wu Shunyan and Wu Shunmu’s senses immediately registered his arrival.
