"What did the Young City Lord mean by that? What happened? Why did you attack the City Lord?"

"I'm not sure. Moreover, the Young City Lord actually fought back and forth with the City Lord. The City Lord is a seventh-level orc! Could it be that the Young City Lord has already reached the strength of a seventh-level orc at such a young age?"

"How is that possible? The City Lord has only reached the Seventh Rank in his entire life, and the Young City Lord has only been an adult for a few years. The City Lord must have been letting him off. The City Lord has always been kind to others, never asking for anything in return, and he couldn't bear to use harsh measures against the Young City Lord."

"If you ask me, the Young City Lord is just being unsure of his blessings, having met such a good person like the City Lord."

Lie Xiaotian was very satisfied with this; he got the effect he wanted.

He continued to try to calm Conis down with sweet words, but suddenly he relaxed. Conis suddenly revealed his half-dragon form, and a thick, scaly dragon tail with a tremendous force swept towards Lie Xiaotian.

bang——

Lie Xiaotian was caught off guard and was hit directly by the dragon's tail. He was smashed into the house next to him like a cannonball. Dust flew everywhere and the house turned into ruins under the huge impact force.

As the dust gradually dissipated, the mighty half-dragon Conis stood in his place. Under the sunlight, his metallic scales emitted a cold light. His powerful aura surprised everyone present. Many people took a few steps back unconsciously, their eyes full of awe.

At this time, Bao Zier also rushed to the scene with a cry of alarm. She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ran towards the ruins. She helped Lie Xiaotian up with great effort, her face full of heartache and anxiety. She turned her head to look at Conis, her eyes full of blame, and accused him loudly.

"Conis, how could you do this! No matter what, Xiaotian is at least your adoptive father. How could you be so cruel?"

Lie Xiaotian waved his hand slightly, signaling Bao Zi'er to stop talking. His eyes were fixed on Conis, with surprise and a hint of undisguised heat in them. He asked, "Conis, have you transformed into a dragon?"

Conis stood in mid-air, clapped his hands, and looked indifferent, without denying Lie Xiaotian's words.

He also knew that the effect of his appearance had been achieved and it was time to leave.

So, he looked at Lie Xiaotian coldly, and said in a tone full of warning: "Let what happened today serve as a lesson for you. I hope there won't be a next time."

"If you dare to bully my people again, I will definitely massacre the entire City Lord's Mansion. By then, even if you, Lie Xiaotian, have the strength of the seventh level, your children will not be so lucky."

After saying that, Conis's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving behind a group of people who were either stunned or terrified standing there.

Lie Xiaotian stared at the direction where Conis left for a long time without coming back to his senses. He was full of fear of Conis's current strength and his ruthless style of doing things.

Bao Zi'er stood there, tears streaming down her face. She wiped away her tears and sobbed, "I shouldn't have raised this child. If I had known he would become like this, I... I would have rather never given birth to him."

Lie Xiaotian looked at the heartbroken Bao Zi'er and quickly pulled her into his arms, softly comforting her, "Zi'er, how can you say that? Cornis is a piece of your flesh and blood after all. After all, we are related by blood."

"Don't be too sad. He's just throwing a tantrum. It's just a temper tantrum. Children go through this phase."

"Look at Lietingao, doesn't he stir up trouble from time to time? Isn't he just trying to get more attention from us parents? I guess Conis has the same idea."

"Besides, it's true that the children were wrong in this matter. Cornish is grown up, has a partner, and is still being bullied. Naturally, he needs to find someone to get out."

"But he can't bully his younger brothers and sisters..."

Bao Zier was deeply moved when she heard Lie Xiaotian's caring comfort. She slowly stopped crying, snuggled in Lie Xiaotian's arms, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

But at this moment, a subordinate ran over in a panic and reported hurriedly: "My Lord, Madam, something bad has happened!"

Lie Xiaotian frowned and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"

The subordinate was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he continued tremblingly, "Miss Xin'er... Miss Xin'er was hit hard just now, and the door was severely damaged, and..."

Lie Xiaotian was extremely anxious when he saw this. He shouted, "And what? Stop hesitating and tell me!"

The subordinate gritted his teeth and tremblingly finished his words: "Miss Xin'er's tongue... was cut out, and her limbs were smashed to pieces. I just took a look, and I'm afraid... I'm afraid she's become a cripple!"

Upon hearing this, Bao Zi'er and Lie Xiaotian's pupils shrank, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. They had never imagined that Conis could be so cruel and ruthless. This was far beyond their imagination.

At the same time, a chill surged from the bottom of their hearts, and they realized that Conis's threat just now was probably not a casual remark.

After hearing about Lie Xin'er's miserable condition, Bao Zi'er's body couldn't stop shaking, and her mind couldn't help but think of Conis's father.

Memories of the past flooded back like a tide. Her eyes were filled with pain and hatred, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "That guy is so inhumane."

"He clearly promised me that he would let me go if I gave birth to a child, but in the end, he refused to let me go, trapping me in endless pain. Now Cornis has become so cruel too. Is this what blood is?"

Lie Xiaotian looked at Bao Zir who was so sad and resentful, and felt helpless. He could only be patient, grit his teeth, and swallow his anger. Then he quickly changed the subject and turned to ask about Lie Ruier's situation. He said to his subordinates with an anxious look on his face.

"What about Rui'er? How is Rui'er? Is it serious?"

The subordinate seemed relieved after hearing this and quickly replied, "Your Excellency, the City Lord, Miss Rui'er is fine. It's just that... she got hit on the face by two big blows, and the marks are quite deep."

It looked like he was slapped twice hard and fainted directly. The force was quite strong.

"But fortunately, his life is safe and he doesn't have any underlying illness. He should be able to wake up soon."

When Lie Xiaotian heard this, he felt a little relieved, but when he thought of Lie Xiner's miserable condition, his brows furrowed again.

His majestic gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and he spoke in a low, oppressive voice, "Everyone, remember what happened today and keep it a secret. If anyone dares to leak a single word about this, don't blame me for being rude!"
