"It seems that I still underestimated Nangong Nan's strength." Zhong Liyi thought and spread the news about the current situation.

The guards had naturally heard about what had happened to Zhong Liyi. Each and every one of them were extremely angry. "A group of people who don't know how high the heavens are. Let's go and teach them a lesson."

"Halt, could it be that you can kill everyone in Jinling City?" Zhong Liyi scolded them, "You should just stay here. I naturally have a way to deal with this matter. "

Zhong Liyi couldn't believe what had happened today. After all, a city wasn't easily managed by a single family. There must be something different about it. How did the Southern Palace manage it?

"Could it be that they planned this beforehand?" Zhong Liyi suddenly thought of something. "Otherwise, how could they be so united?" "Zhong Liyi became more and more convinced of his thoughts." But what is the reason for this? " Zhong Liyi thought. What do they want us to do in this town? " Zhong Liyi was indeed the smartest person in the Zhongli family besides Young Master Zhong Li. He was able to guess the main point of the matter in an instant.

Wuwei and the Ghost King also began preparing in secret.

At night, they quietly left the manor. Furthermore, he came to a small city not too far from Jinling with his true appearance. It was the small city that Zhong Liyi and the others were staying in.

Wuwei and the Ghost King seemed to have some sort of conflict, and they did not walk in harmony. However, the Ghost King seemed to be a bit domineering, constantly coercing Wuwei to do something.

They had entered with such great fanfare, it was only natural that Zhong Liyi hadn't noticed. However, Zhongli Yi was very smart and didn't have any reaction. He knew that this was a busy time and any strange behavior could be a trap.

While Zhongli Yi was observing Wuwei and the Ghost King, something very important happened in the Merchant Shop.

Cheng Ying and the others had previously said they would protect Young Master Zhongli, but now they had suddenly left the commercial city. It was said that they were here for some matter. However, he then changed routes and came to this small city.

Looking at the information, Zhong Liyi was certain that these people were here for him.

"Get someone to do the defense." Zhong Liyi spoke directly to the guard. "Take this entire inn down as well. Don't let anyone else in." That was all Zhongli Yi could do right now.

However, things seemed to have gone beyond his expectations. It seemed that these people were not here for him. This was because these people had immediately found the Spirit King as soon as they had arrived.

The Ghost King did not change his appearance, so Zhongli Yi obviously knew about it. He also knew that the Ghost King was the number one assassin in Nanjing.

Even the King's Manor had sent someone over. "Could it be that they are planning to leave all of us here?" Zhong Liyi thought of a possibility.

Although the Zhongli family wasn't worried about this sort of problem before, thinking that they understood the Nangong family's strength too well, it seemed like they had miscalculated. There's no guarantee that they won't take the risk. " Zhong Liyi seemed to have just remembered that he was in someone else's territory and didn't think much of it before this.

This was the arrogance of a large clan.

However, he wasn't an ordinary person. Although he had guessed at something, he didn't panic at all. He immediately sent a message and made preparations for the worst.

It was night. The anxious defenders noticed the Ghost King and the others' actions, but their actions seemed strange: the Ghost King seemed to be chasing after someone. Chengying followed closely behind. It was unknown who was running for his life in front of him. Judging by what he saw, that person was about to run out of strength.

However, that person was still trying his best to run. He wanted to completely get rid of this group of people. However, his wish was destined to be out of sight. There were already people blocking his way.

That person didn't say anything and just directly jumped towards the wall. He just didn't expect that all of his actions would be taken into account by someone else. Even the walls were waiting for him.

When that person realized that something was wrong, he hastily retreated and quickly made his judgement. He directly charged toward the weakest direction in front of him. Relying on his fearless strength, he was able to temporarily escape from the pursuit.

Just as that person was about to heave a sigh of relief, he heard a voice. "Do you really think you have a chance?"

Zhong Liyi recognized this voice. It was the Ghost King.

That person clearly knew this person, so he charged forward even more quickly. However, the Spirit King's speed was even faster than his, and it directly sent a concealed weapon flying over.

Although that person was prepared, his strength had been greatly reduced. Thus, he barely managed to dodge most of the hidden weapons, but he still suffered some injuries.

That person seemed to know that he no longer had a chance, he looked at the Spirit King and asked, "What do you want in the end?"

The Spirit King looked at him as if he was looking at a dead man, "If you give up now, I can let you live." The Spirit King said arrogantly.

"Don't even think about it." That person knew that there was no other way, so he prepared to fight to the death.

As he spoke, he dashed towards the person at his side. He knew that he was no match for the Spirit King, so he could only take advantage of the strength of these people to escape.

The Spirit King could immediately see through his intentions.

Reality had proved that there was a reason for the Ghost King to be so arrogant. Although the strength of those people were not as good as the Ghost King's, but they all had a fitting weapon. Although it wasn't some godly weapon, it still worked. Moreover, they seemed to be cultivating some sort of formation.

That person knew that he had made a mistake, but there was nothing he could do. He could only give it his all.

Under the siege, the man gradually became sharper. The Spirit King looked at him and said happily, "He's almost dying." When everyone heard the Ghost King's words, they began to work even harder. Not long later, that person was brought here by someone, and there wasn't a single spot on his body that was good enough for them.

The Ghost King looked at him, "Are you convinced now?"

That person looked at the Spirit King, unwilling to say a single word.

As the Spirit King spoke, he was about to slash him to death, but Cheng Ying said something at the side. The Ghost King looked at Cheng Ying and said, "For your sake, let him live."

Zhong Liyi saw this from afar and immediately called for someone to come over. "Go, investigate what happened tonight." Zhong Liyi felt this was an opportunity. However, Zhongli Yi didn't notice that when the Ghost King left, he inadvertently looked in his direction.
