Qin Lie who was inside the Cloud-stepping Carriage suddenly felt a chill in his eyes. When he held the Ancient Sun Axe, he was about to condense the Qi light again. Qin Lie's face froze, and he looked over coldly: "You're Luo Yan from the Qiongshan City? Although there is something wrong with my two servants, they only need to be punished a little. Why did he need to hit so heavily? Could it be that your Qiongshan City is already prepared to tear apart the alliance and become our enemy? "

Luo Yan was immediately incensed, but he was unable to refute her, as if a wave of hostility was congealed in his chest, unable to be released. Just as he was about to ignore everything and kill this Young Lord of The Sky Demon Martial School, a shout came from afar.

"Impudent!" Luo Yan, why aren't you leaving! " A loud shout came from afar and a middle-aged man in profound armor suddenly broke through the crowd of Javelins s in front of him. They were riding a pony with a triangular head, which was about twice the size of a Wind-controlling Colt. His face was handsome and his lips were like dans. It was unknown how old he really was. All he knew was that he was in his thirties. With empty hands, he rushed to the front of the Cloud-stepping Carriage. Be it Liang Bing or Hu Rui, it seemed as if they did not put him in their eyes.

When the numerous Qiongshan City Martial Cultivator saw him walk out, their expressions revealed joy, but in the next second, he actually dismounted and bowed respectfully, "Qiongshan City Zhu Junhou greets Young Lord Qin Lie! In the past, your father saved my life, and this duke Zhu Jun has always been deeply grateful. "

Qin Lie was also startled, and thought to himself that with Qiongshan City, there was actually someone who was able to appreciate gifts and was grateful, and it was such a rare occurrence. After this person stood up, his expression turned cold: "Ever since my Qiongshan City and Heavenly Demon Sect had formed an alliance, it has always been my Heavenly Demon Sect. I wonder why Young Lord condoned this subordinate, charged wantonly into my Qiongshan City, and scolded my Mayor unrestrainedly? "

"So you also knew that our two families are allies?"

Qin Lie scoffed slightly, then turned to Hu Rui who had crawled up from the ground and asked, "Big Brother Hu Rui, how long have we been waiting outside?"

Hu Rui was grimacing in pain, but when he heard this, his spirits was immediately lifted, and he extended four fingers: "Eight hours, from morning to night, we waited at the city gate for four hours!"

"So it's only been eight hours. No wonder I'm not full yet!" "So sleepy …"

Qin Lie yawned again, and said with a drowsy look: "Is this the way Qiongshan City treats its guests? Why don't we go back outside the city gates and wait a little longer? "

Zhu Junhou frowned, his gaze shooting towards Luo Yan like lightning. Luo Yan was also slightly embarrassed, but after that he angrily snorted and turned his head away. A person who was unable to protect himself and had no self-knowledge, what was the point of seeing him? Miss definitely cannot marry a mediocre person like him, and my Qiongshan City cannot tolerate him even more! "

"Hearing that, Qin Lie also laughed coldly:" So that's the case! I already know what Mayor Lin Si meant. Since I, Qin Lie, am not welcomed here, I, Qin Lie am also not willing to stay. "Time to go …"

He didn't say anything else and just waved his sleeve. Then, he walked straight back to the carriage.

Duan Yun's eyes turned and he immediately controlled the carriage, turned around and headed towards the city gate. Hu Rui and Qin Feng did not say a word as they mounted the Wind-controlling Colt again and followed behind the carriage.

Seeing that, Zhu Jun Hou's face turned green and white, he fiercely glared at Luo Yan, and then bowed: Young Lord, please hold your steps! Just now, Mayor was already destined to meet him personally at Tiangang Palace! "

Qin Lie stayed in the carriage, but did not make a sound. In the end, it turned into a sigh, and his expression became even more respectful and cautious, "For today's matter, my Qiongshan City will definitely give Young Lord an explanation!"

Luo Yan was enraged, and was about to speak, but felt Zhu Junhou's cold eyes still staring at him. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart and could not utter another word.

The so called Tiangang Palace, was not within the Qiongshan City, but on top of the jade-like mountain behind the city.

As for the so called 'Jade Mountain', it was around 24,000 feet high, reaching straight into the clouds. Aside from the side that was facing the Xuan Mountain, the other sides were filled with giant rocks that were comparable to fine steel. Furthermore, the majestic mountain became the natural city walls of Qiongshan City. As long as they had around ten thousand soldiers, they would be impregnable.

And even if it was this side that was facing towards the Qiongshan City, it was incomparably precipitous. Fortunately, there was a winding mountain road that led to the top of the mountain. The Cloud-stepping Carriage s travelled across almost all of the terrain, and could barely pass through here.

Duan Yun no longer needed to drive, and was swapped back with Qin Feng. It was at this time that he curiously stared at, "Brother Qin, we made such a ruckus, but there is actually nothing wrong with it. "I was so scared just now."

Qin Lie smiled, and did not reply. How could there be a real falling out? Everyone thought that Qin Lie had requested for the Qiongshan City.

However, only a few people were able to clearly see what happened when the power of Heavenly Demon Sect shrank. From the previous nine countries that belonged to the three empires, that had shrunk back to five, Qiongshan City actually didn't matter much to Heavenly Demon Sect.

Qin Wuya had the heart to swallow the world, which was why he used Qiongshan City as the east barrier. He could do whatever he wanted and explore the western regions.

But now that he was not here, it was questionable whether or not his Heavenly Demon Sect could protect himself. This Qiongshan City had instead become a burden that involved a portion of his strength.

Furthermore, he was a person who had low ambitions. If not for Lin Miaoke, he would not even bother to care about the life and death of the people in this city. Don't hesitate to hug that whatever Dan Quan Zong's thigh. She wanted to see if these sects could protect this city. Changing to Mysterious Sky Sect was more or less the case.

Others only thought that due to their powerful Dan Quan Zong, they had destroyed dozens of Martial Cultivator s. That Qiongshan City Master, however, would definitely know the details.

Seeing that he did not answer, Duan Yun wanted to know more. A pleading expression appeared on his face.

"Even if I did, would you understand? Think about the location of the Qiongshan City, and think about how many soldiers and horses are stationed here. Near this place, what other benefits can the Heavenly Demon Sect s get? … "

Duan Yun sat down and fell into deep thought.

Location? Military? Benefits? Why did it get more complicated the more he thought about it?

On the other hand, Liang Bing who was once again lying on the soft couch had a burst of thought.

Qin Lie looked out of the window. It was unknown whether they were worried about their group causing trouble again. At this moment, the left and right sides were filled with a black mass of Iron Armoured Horse warriors. Dozens of them reached up to the sky and protected the two Cloud-stepping Carriage. Among them, there were four Nirvana stage warriors. He was wary and resentful, looking in their direction from time to time.

However, Qin Lie didn't mind at all. As if nothing had happened, he waved to the person not far away, who was accompanying Zhu Junhou. The latter was slightly startled, and after a moment of hesitation,he spurred his horse to the side of the window. After bowing, she spoke with some caution: "I wonder, Young Lord, what matter do you have to exchange?"

Qin Lie looked at this person from head to toe, and seemed to be filled with affection. Only when Zhu Junhou started to feel goosebumps did he finally laugh faintly, "Why does Uncle not live in the city but on a mountain instead? And that Tiangang Palace, what kind of place is it? "

Zhu Junhou's heart immediately calmed down, but after hesitating for a moment, he replied, "There's no harm in informing Young Lord about this! In fact, he had long since ignored the affairs of the city and had always strived for the martial way. Due to encountering a bottleneck in the Martial Dao three years ago, he was unable to advance even an inch. And so, he had his men construct a giant stone hall atop the mountain. The entire Astral Iron Cliff was forged, and a few Yang Reaching Realm Profound Arts Master were hired to carve a Spiritual Array. Inner astral energy filled the air, and once all the cultivation Profound Arts Master s entered the hall, they were unable to release any of their Genuine Qi's soul force. He wanted to suppress the Cultivation Level and start from the lowest point, to once again deduce and prove his own martial arts, to make up for the flaw. This was extremely common in Martial Cultivator. Presumably, he had studied in the Young Lord and should have heard of this before. With the blessings of this hall, I have also recently stepped into the realm of bandits! "

Qin Lie suddenly realized that he had naturally heard of this method before. Many Martial Cultivator would choose to do this when breaking through their Domain Initiation.

However, this stone hall that was made up of Iron Gangstone was truly a big deal. It was all built from iron rocks, no wonder it was called Tiangang Palace, it really was a straightforward name. Just buying these rocks was already quite expensive. And every year, the consumption of Level Four Spiritual Stone s was probably no less than a few hundred.

This Zhu Junhou was obviously very cautious, other than saying the matter of Tiangang Palace previously, no matter what Qin Lie asked, it would either say that he did not know, or say that he did not have any words to say. He kept his mouth shut. In the end, Qin Lie felt bored and gave up on the idea of finding information from this person.

When they arrived at the peak of the mountain, it took them a full hour. Qin Lie looked out of the window and saw that the place had been artificially levelled, forming a platform with a radius of nearly a hundred thousand meters. The four sides of the road were filled with crossbows. They were all several zhang wide crossbows, and the crossbows were made from animal tendons mixed with iron wire. There were more than four hundred of them altogether, and when they covered the entirety of the Qiongshan City, it caused one's scalp to involuntarily tingle.

And in the center of this place, there was indeed a huge stone hall. It was thirty meters tall, and three hundred meters wide.

It was entirely formed from the red Iron Blade Rock. The moment Qin Lie got near, he felt that his internal energy was being suppressed.

When Qin Lie came down from his Cloud-stepping Carriage s, he saw a group of people waiting at the foot of the stone steps.

Not only was Lin Miaoke present, there was also a middle-aged noble woman, and a man in his forties who was wearing an embroidered robe and carrying a yuanyang saber. There was also another young man with a refined appearance, standing on top of the stairs as he coldly looked down at him.

Aside from the latter, the two people in front of him had both stood on the tall building and could be considered to have seen each other before. Especially this noblewoman, she had a slight impression of him. As for the other one, it should be Qiongshan City and Tan Tao. Previously, Hu Rui had mentioned this to him. Qin Lie's expression immediately became solemn. He straightened his robes, walked to the front of the middle-aged noblewoman, and bowed deeply: "Qin Lie greets mother-in-law! After not seeing her for ten years, had his mother-in-law been well? It was Qin Lie's fortune that made him only be able to look at his mother-in-law once in ten years. All these years, he'd always been in awe of her. Oh right, I remember my father once told me about you two, saying that your father-in-law and mother-in-law's relationship is stronger than Jin Jian's, which is really enviable. Even if it is to let Qin Lie have a good time in the future, I will have to be like you, Mayor, and love you for your grace and love — "

Lin Shina's expression suddenly fluctuated between a fluctuating shade of green and red. There was some shame in her eyes as well, but there was more anger.

This brat was truly annoying! Wasn't he intentionally accusing her of being ungrateful by talking incoherently about what happened ten years ago?

However, at this moment, he could only endure it and extend his hand, pretending to be virtuous, virtuous and kind as he smiled, "Young Lord, please rise! The marriage between you and Miaoke has yet to be decided. It's best if you slowly mention this' mother-in-law '. "

Before she could finish her words, a chuckle came from the top of the stairs, "Shameless! If I give you some face, prepare to open a dyeing workshop! Miss Miao-ke is the direct disciple of my Dan Quan Zong, how can you possibly reach her? Qin Lie, you still need to know your own limits. It is time to get the hell out of this Qiongshan City — "

Qin Lie was slightly surprised as he looked at the person and asked in surprise: "Who is this?" No matter how he looked at it, this person looked very similar to Long Batian.

On Lin Shina's face, there was an extra bit of smile, but the person who replied was Tan Tao: "This is Lin Miaoke's senior brother, the sixth direct disciple, Fang Shu! This time, you are here as a guest of my Qiongshan City. As a man, he was most eager to be righteous, and he loved to speak up. The Young Lord has flaws, you can befriend one or two — "

"Dan Quan Zong? So you are an outsider. " Qin Lie 'oh', then nodded his head in understanding: "So rude!"

After saying this, he turned around and ignored them. He did not try to make eye contact with Lin Miaoke, but waited quietly below the stone steps with a solemn expression on his face.

The book did not like Qin Lie, and at the moment, his eyes were even colder, concealing his killing intent as he looked at Qin Lie from head to toe. Tan Tao was also surprised, his gaze turned cold as he looked over. Qin Lie did not like the look of the man, and secretly cursed him in his heart, becoming more cautious. Since this book spoke up for justice, then the only one who was unrighteous could only be him.

After waiting for a moment, the notifying Zhu Junhou had already returned. Walking to Qin Lie's side, he indicated that he did not dare to be in front of him. Lowering his body, he slightly raised his hand and said: "Young Lord, please! Mayor Lin Si has been well these few days, and it is inconvenient for him to personally come out to receive you, and is currently waiting in the hall — — "

Qin Lie smiled and walked up the stone stairs first. As soon as he entered the hall, he felt as if all the Qi in his body had been injected into the world below. Then, he saw a man with a white beard sitting in the opposite side of the hall. His beard was white and his hair was white, but his face was rosy and he looked extremely young. She looked to be around twenty years old, not much older than Lin Miaoke. She was no different from the Lin Si from ten years ago.

Qin Lie was looking at this man, and Lin Si was also sizing him up, his expression mixed both sadness and sadness.

When all of them entered the palace hall, the door made of black iron closed with a bang.

Qin Lie was shocked as he looked behind him. Was this Qiongshan City planning to catch a turtle in a jar?

Lin Shina brought Lin Miaoke and Luo Yan to sit at the right side. Zhu Junhou then directly stood beside Lin Si with his hands behind his back.

Lin Si stared fixedly at Qin Lie for a moment, then retracted his gaze and slightly nodded: "Nephew, please sit! "No need to be overly courteous —"

However, Qin Lie still bowed respectfully, and without holding back, he sat in front of Lin Si.

In terms of status, as the next Demon Lord of Heavenly Demon Sect, he was even better than Lin Si. However, the difference in seniority between the two was an entire generation. This bow was for the sake of their family's friendship, and also for Lin Miaoke.

The hall was empty except for a few people. Liang Bing did not follow them on the carriage, but Hu Rui and Duan Yun sat behind him.
