Chapter 1279 - 1278: The Fall of Thousand Dragon City
"Kill!" Ouyang Stone's eyes widened with fury, and he shouted the order.
Immediately, the nine patriarchs led a large number of cultivators from the hall to attack, clashing with the cultivators from the four cultivation cities outside.
Blade flashes and sword qi, sacred energy flew.
Both sides' cultivators engaged in a deadly battle in the plaza, blood spattered, one cultivator after another fell into pools of blood.
At this moment, in the air, Qin Ying exchanged glances with the city lords Gongsun Zhong, Xu Hong, and Lu Shen. Qin Ying said, "Let's capture their nine patriarchs."
Gongsun Zhong and the three city lords nodded at Qin Ying.
Subsequently, Qin Ying and the four descended to the plaza quickly as lightning, attacking Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs.
Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs fought with all their might but were struck by the four masters of Qin Ying one by one.
Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs fell onto the plaza successively, each spitting out a mouthful of blood.
They tried to struggle to their feet, but Qin Ying and the four masters each struck out a sacred energy beam, breaking through the air to hit their acupoints, sealing them and rendering them immobile.
Then, the cultivators from the surrounding four cultivation cities swarmed forward, placing their sharp swords at Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs' throats, shouting, "Don't move!"
Afterward, Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs were dragged up from the ground by these cultivators.
At this time, Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs discovered that all the cultivation masters in the City Lord's Mansion were either dead, wounded, or captured by cultivators of the four cultivation cities.
It can be said that in this battle at the City Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Stone and the Thousand Dragon City's cultivation masters utterly lost.
Qin Ying and the four masters approached Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs. Qin Ying looked at Ouyang Stone and said, "Won't you surrender now?"
Ouyang Stone's eyes flashed with a hateful light, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Even if you kill us, we won't surrender to you."
Qin Ying nodded, saying, "Impressive spirit!"
Then, Qin Ying turned to the cultivators beside him and asked, "Have the families of the nine families from Thousand Dragon City not been brought yet?"
Immediately, a lead cultivator said to Qin Ying, "Lord Qin, our men have been capturing people from the nine families for some time now, they should be arriving soon."
Qin Ying nodded, "Hmm."
"Qin Ying, you bastard, what do you intend to do to my family?" Ouyang Stone, upon hearing that Qin Ying had sent men to his family, became furious and shouted at Qin Ying.
Cheng He and the remaining eight patriarchs, faces also full of intense anxiety and unspeakable anger, shouted, "Qin Ying, you despicable villain!"
"We won't let you off even if we die!"
"I'll kill you!"
However, with their acupoints sealed, they were powerless to kill Qin Ying.
At that moment, hundreds of cultivators flew in from the sky, escorting women, children, and elders, landing in the plaza.
Then, the leaders among the cultivators stepped forward, reporting to Qin Ying and the four city lords, "Four lords, the families of the nine families from Thousand Dragon City have all been captured."
Qin Ying and the four city lords nodded in satisfaction.
"Qin Ying, you bastard, release my family at once!" Ouyang Stone was almost spewing fire from his eyes, shouting angrily.
The captured family members of the nine families from Thousand Dragon City, escorted by the cultivators from the four cultivation cities, were crying, trembling in fear, some pleading to Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs for rescue: "Master, save us..."
Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs were frantic and unable to rescue them.
Qin Ying and the four city lords wore icy smiles, ignoring the anguish and suffering of the nine patriarchs and their families.
"Ouyang Stone, if you don't surrender, I'll order to kill your families right now." Qin Ying said coldly and mercilessly as he looked at Ouyang Stone.
"Huang, count to ten. If they still don't agree to surrender, kill all their families." Then, Qin Ying looked at Qin Huang and said.
"Yes, Father." Qin Huang replied and then looked at Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs, shouting loudly: "One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
...
Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs' faces suddenly turned anxious.
Of course, they were unwilling to surrender to Qin Ying because Lin Fei had shown great favor to them and trusted them deeply, leading them to be wholeheartedly loyal to Lin Fei.
But if they didn't surrender, their families would be killed by the cultivators under the four city lords.
"Eight!"
"Nine!"
Seeing Qin Huang about to count ten, the cultivators holding the families started to raise their butcher knives, the cold light glaringly close, and Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs were incredibly anxious.
They couldn't watch their families die under the knives, so they hurriedly shouted, "Stop, we surrender!"
"Huang, stop counting, and you all put down your knives too." A look of crafty success appeared in Qin Ying's eyes as he instructed Qin Huang and the cultivators holding up their knives.
"Yes, Father." Qin Huang said in response.
The cultivators who raised their knives also replied, lowering their knives.
Qin Ying looked at Ouyang Stone and the nine patriarchs, smiling, "Now that's knowing when to act wisely. Now, tell me where Lin Fei is."
Ouyang Stone hung his head heavily and said, "Ten Thousand Swords City..."
————
In Ten Thousand Swords City, with Lin Fei's strong support, Qiu Qiming smoothly ascended to become the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City. Lin Fei left Jin Zongfan and the True Essence Sect by Qiu Qiming's side to help him consolidate his position and authority.
Additionally, the experts of the Wan family were all converted to pledge allegiance to Qiu Qiming; thus, Qiu Qiming rapidly established his own power.
Of course, all of this was achieved with Lin Fei's help.
After becoming the new City Lord and consolidating his status and power, Qiu Qiming organized funerals for his deceased parents and some relatives from the Qiu family.
Once everything was completed, Lin Fei began thinking of returning to Thousand Dragon City.
On this day, inside the City Lord's Mansion palace, Lin Fei said to Qiu Qiming, "Due to my strength and methods, the various families in Ten Thousand Swords City dare not oppose you as the City Lord for the time being.
But it's hard to guarantee they won't harbor doubts in the future, so you need to cultivate diligently and elevate your strength swiftly."
Qiu Qiming nodded solemnly, "I understand, Qi Ming will strive to enhance my strength."
"I also need to return to Thousand Dragon City to prevent the Qin family from Panlong City from taking advantage of the situation and causing harm to Thousand Dragon City," Lin Fei said.
Having said that, Lin Fei stood up from his chair and said to Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, Qin Yunyue, and others, "Let's return to Thousand Dragon City."
Everyone stood up from their seats, ready to leave.
Just then, Lin Fei's phone rang, and Lin Fei took it out, seeing the caller ID was Ouyang Stone.
So, Lin Fei answered Ouyang Stone's call, "Vice City Lord Ouyang, has something happened in Thousand Dragon City?"
"Lord, you must return to Thousand Dragon City, something serious has happened!" came Ouyang Stone's anxious voice from the phone.
Lin Fei frowned slightly, "What serious matter has occurred?"
"Lord, Thousand Dragon City has fallen, annexed by someone." Heavy and serious, Ouyang Stone spoke over the phone.
