Chapter 1496: Chapter 665: The Second Day

Rolling Bone Bone City.

"You’re saying... Diao Deyi, is now in Sunset City?!" Ling Huxiang widened her eyes, breathing rapidly.

Since the last contest over the artifact, when they each jumped off the cliff separately, she hadn’t had any news about Fang Yu.

Unexpectedly, this guy who had just come to Rolling Bone City and was recruiting troops and horses everywhere, actually knew Fang Yu’s whereabouts.

Ling Huxiang had always wanted to meet Fang Yu again, but the longer she stayed in Rolling Bone City, the harder it became for her to leave.

Because around her, a group of people had gradually begun to gather again.

This group of people looked up to her, giving her new attachments in Rolling Bone City.

If she was a newcomer when she first arrived in Rolling Bone City,

now she has essentially merged into the factions of Rolling Bone City, becoming a part of it.

Restless.

Ling Huxiang felt restless.

The impulse in her heart surged uncontrollably.

She wanted to see that old acquaintance.

However, rationality told her she could not leave Rolling Bone City.

Abandoning everything she had worked hard to build in the past few months just to find an old acquaintance she might not even find was definitely not wise.

Besides, even if she did meet, then what... could happen?

Would the things she hoped for take place?

The restlessness gradually subsided.

The past intersections, when recalled now, still made Ling Huxiang a bit flustered, but no longer as intense, and gradually calmed.

"He was in Sunset City before, but where he went afterward, I don’t know either."

Lei Qingzi, also known as Lei Shenhao, chuckled.

He had been in Rolling Bone City for some time, and with his money power and previous connections, he began recruiting troops and horses as soon as he arrived.

What he couldn’t achieve in Sunset City, he wanted to achieve in Rolling Bone City.

And the carrot, which was vital to the believers, must be obtained.

"So it was just empty talk." Ling Huxiang frowned, and her impression of Lei Qingzi worsened.

Her background wasn’t complicated; if one was really interested, it would be easy to investigate. After all, during the artifact dispute, many people had seen her and Fang Yu jump off the cliff together, and naturally, they knew they had some connection.

Using such baseless information to fish for information only made Ling Huxiang feel displeased.

However, Lei Shenhao didn’t care.

He just smiled slightly.

"Whether Miss Linghu believes me or not is not for me to decide, my coming here is to discuss cooperation with Miss Linghu."

Ling Huxiang raised an eyebrow.

"You’ve indeed made quite a stir recently in Rolling Bone City, but if you want to recruit me, I’m afraid you don’t have that ability yet."

"Don’t be hasty, Miss Linghu, I will prove my sincerity. This time, I just came to greet Miss Linghu first."

Lei Shenhao had already established a network in Rolling Bone City; he might not be strong personally, but he had no shortage of idle people under him.

Some people might not be formidable, but their connections were extensive, thriving in Rolling Bone City, and could recruit powerful subordinates for himself.

With this foundation, while not toppling the Eight Ancient Sects, he had at least gained a foothold in Rolling Bone City.

And his ambition certainly didn’t stop there.

"Let’s leave it at this for today, I will visit again, Miss Linghu, farewell."

With his subordinates, Lei Shenhao turned and left Ling Huxiang’s mansion.

After Lei Shenhao left, Ling Huxiang, still sitting in her seat, couldn’t help but recall something.

"Diao Deyi..."

She thought she had already suppressed that affection, but when alone, she couldn’t help but reminisce about the bits and pieces of that journey.

"My Supreme Golden Petal Flower is still with you, if you’re still alive... why not come find me..."

There was a bit of resentment in her expression, but more so, longing.

"Lord Linghu, Young Master Ling Xing requests to see you outside."

The voice of a servant reporting brought Ling Huxiang back to reality with a start.

Another one coming to propose marriage.

"I won’t see him." Ling Huxiang said coldly.

Ever since their power gradually stabilized, factions from all sides had constantly sent people to win them over, and marriage was one of the means.

"Yes!"

As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, an arthropod’s scythe-like hand was suddenly placed around the servant’s neck like an arm around a shoulder.

"Oh dear, Sister Linghu, what a temper you have."

The servant instantly widened his eyes, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

The sharp blade, needing only a slight cut, could sever his neck!

So close! So close!

The servant’s entire body trembled, not daring to move, his eyes seeking help in the forward direction.

"Zhuo Xueer, are you having an episode again?"

Ling Huxiang said coldly.

Just one sentence made Zhuo Xueer’s body stiffen, and she set down the Demonized Scythe.

The servant turned to look, finally seeing the woman’s appearance clearly.

Just one look, and he was almost scared enough to scream.

He saw that this woman’s half-face was like that of a giant mantis demon, with huge eyes and a half-mouth that chewed and wriggled unnaturally; when she spoke, it opened and closed with the human-like half, as if it were being parasitized by a demon.

"You may leave now."

After letting the servant leave, Ling Huxiang stood up from her seat and walked over to the half-demonized Zhuo Xueer.

"Speak, what’s the matter?"

"Can’t I come find you even if there’s nothing..." Zhuo Xueer murmured, then loudly clasped her hands and said: "Reporting to the Lord of Mansion, the demon army from the Capital that was previously observed, suddenly appeared in Tianyuan Town and has been completely wiped out. It is... a devastating defeat for the Capital army. We have no chance of returning to Tianyuan Town."

Even... the forces from the Capital were no match for the demon forces from the Demon Capital...

Ling Huxiang clenched her fists.

She had still harbored hope.

But now it seems that no one can stop the rise of the Demon Capital anymore.
