Huo Linger's lips curled up, and she was not surprised by what Zhao Jing said.

Zhao Jing has a cheerful and decisive personality, and has sufficient talent and strength. Zhao Jing knows exactly what to do.

"I am willing to follow Lord Ling Ye and charge into the City Lord's Mansion."

Zhao Jing raised her head, her eyes flashing with undisguised ambition.

To her, the Lord of Sunset City was like a stranger and had nothing to do with her.

The bodies of innocent people in front of her and Du Anyang who almost died in her arms just now, these cruel realities are reminding her that only when she has power in her hands and possesses sufficient strength, can she protect the people she cherishes.

In Lincang Continent, only the strong will be respected and the weak can only be beaten.

Even though she is a woman, why can't she stand at the pinnacle of power? She only hopes that Sunset City can be peaceful and harmonious every year, and that Du Anyang and she can be safe and sound together.

Apart from these two wishes, she had no other wishes.

Du Anyang stared at the girl's unwavering expression, and a relieved smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After this life-and-death test, he finally realized that Zhao Jing was the love of his life.

No matter what she wants, what does it matter if I risk my life to accompany her?

He struggled to support his body, and stood up slowly and firmly. He took a deep breath, and gathered all the spiritual power in his body into his palm.

As he waved lightly, a ray of light flew out and the signal was successfully transmitted.

As soon as the signal came on, the guards outside the city responded quickly.

At the same time, the signal that Tang Qi had sent out earlier in the barrier also caused a reaction. Those hiding outside the city, as well as Tang Qi's subordinates, received this urgent signal one after another, and they quickly led their own people to sneak into Sunset City.

……

The crowd was unstoppable. Holding swords in hand, they approached the Sunset City Lord's Mansion with a fierce attack.

Many guards and secret guards in the City Lord's Mansion turned against him when they saw the people led by Du Anyang and Ling Ye coming. They knew what the Lord of Sunset City had done before, and now they were even more unwilling to serve him.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly.

The City Lord's Mansion, which was once as solid as a rock, now became shaky.

The Lord of Sunset City was terrified, his face as pale as paper. He once thought he had absolute power and security, but now he found himself in a desperate situation.

In the chaos, the Lord of Sunset City hid in the room in panic.

He was in a state of disgrace, having completely lost his former dignity. The warriors around him and the strong men who protected him had suffered heavy casualties, and were no longer able to truly protect his safety. Fear enveloped his heart, leaving him at a loss.

"Lord Ling Ye, Lord Ling Ye, please spare my life!" The Lord of Sunset City crawled out from under the table in the house covered in dust and begged for mercy in a trembling voice.

He had no dignity at all. His former arrogance and conceit were now gone, leaving only a desire for life.

The eyes of Sunset City Lord were filled with fear and despair. He kept repeating, "I really didn't mean to abandon you before. It was all Zhou Donglai, that damn Zhou Donglai who forced me to do that."

"I was really forced into this!"

The Lord of Sunset City opened his eyes wide, extremely excited, and his tone was so firm that even he himself was almost believing these excuses.

"Jing'er, Jing'er, don't you think so? I was forced to do that. Please save daddy and beg for mercy. Daddy can't die!"

He suddenly spotted Zhao Jing standing behind Huo Ling'er, and rushed towards her as if he had grabbed the last straw.

However, Du Anyang kicked him to the ground without hesitation.

Zhao Jing looked expressionlessly at the man in front of her who used to be her father, without any emotion in her eyes.

Her attitude was as cold and ruthless as when Zhou Donglai murdered the people. She just watched quietly and coldly.

The Lord of Sunset City was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was helpless and could only turn to Huo Ling'er for help.

"Lord Ling Ye, Lord Ling Ye, please be magnanimous and forgive my mistakes! As long as you can spare my life, I will give you whatever you want. I am willing to work like a slave for you..."

As he spoke, he kowtowed on the ground, not even noticing that his forehead was bruised.

Huo Linger looked at him in such a humble manner, and a mocking smile rose on her lips: "I spared you, why?"

"Besides, you shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask him..."

After saying that, she slowly walked to the side, letting Tang Qi behind her pass.

Tang Qi frowned and walked in front of the Lord of Sunset City holding his sword.

The Lord of Sunset City was frightened by the murderous intent in Tang Qi's eyes and trembled all over. He couldn't help crying and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, please spare my life. I don't want to die, please don't kill me, I promise to let you enjoy endless wealth and glory..."

Tang Qi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Pfft! Are you so afraid of death? Haven't you worked like a slave for others for most of your life?"

"grown ups……"

"Okay, shut up."

Tang Qi interrupted him coldly, then took a pill to remove the disguise. As the drug took effect, the disguise on his face gradually disappeared, revealing his true face.

The Lord of Sunset City widened his eyes, looking at Tang Qi in front of him in horror, his voice trembling: "You...you are...Tang Qi?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Tang Qi's eyes, and he sneered, "I didn't expect you to still remember my name, Lord of Sunset City."

The Lord of Sunset City's breathing stagnated, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart. The face in front of him was so similar to the woman who saved him that year, he would never forget it.

And now, the person standing in front of him was actually that man's son.

He finally understood that this person came to take revenge on him!

Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I see that gentle and beautiful face appearing in my memory again.

In the bitter cold winter, he was bullied and beaten by those people in the North, and was left in the snow with wounds all over his body, dying.

It was she who saved him, brought him back home with clothes and food, treated his wounds, and gave him the best things he had never seen before. She was so kind to him...

"Do you still remember me?" Tang Qi's smile did not reach her eyes when she spoke.

"You are here to kill me, you are here to kill me, don't come over here, don't come over here!"

The Lord of Sunset City looked at Tang Qi in horror, as if he had seen a demon, and kept backing away.

Tang Qi didn't stop and approached him step by step.

"If I had known this day would come, I should have killed you along with me."

The Lord of Sunset City kept moving on the ground, trembling as he retreated.

"But unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world!"

Tang Qi's voice was cold and ruthless, making the Lord of Sunset City feel unprecedented fear.

"No, no! Don't kill me, I just don't want to die, I didn't do anything wrong!"

The Lord of Sunset City roared and shook his head violently, his face full of despair. He watched Tang Qi approach step by step, and the fear in his heart gradually overwhelmed his reason.

He once thought he could control everything, but now he finds himself so insignificant.

Tang Qi walked up to the Lord of Sunset City and looked down at him.

The Lord of Sunset City widened his eyes and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Do you think begging for mercy will work?" Tang Qi asked coldly.

The Lord of Sunset City shook his head desperately, tears and snot flowing down together, like a madman possessed by demons.
