Duguyue frowned, she was very unhappy that the city lord planned to keep her here because he was talking to himself like this.

For others, it might be okay to stay for a few more years, but Dugu Yue's goal is to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

Although it sounds a bit overestimating and unrealistic, this is her goal and ideal.

Now that she is basically familiar with the rhythm of life in this world, it is absolutely impossible for Dugu Yue to be willing to stay in such a small town and waste a few more years.

So even though the city lord said so and would give her better treatment, Duguyue also refused directly and said: "Mr. city lord, although I don't want to give up my clothes, I have been here for two years and I have my own ideal goals that I need to achieve.

, I'm sorry I can't promise you, Nishang, I will find a chance to tell her when I get back."

When the city lord saw Dugu Yue's determined face, determined to leave, his eyes immediately turned cold and he felt angry.

Because the City Lord's Mansion has encountered some things recently, many of the original worshipers and servants of the City Lord's Mansion have hurriedly turned their backs and left.

As for Dugu Yue's insistence on leaving, the city lord was extremely disappointed and angry. He naturally believed that Dugu Yue was also the kind of white-eyed wolf who was not well-bred.

However, Duguyue still didn't know about this, and she didn't want to have a quarrel with the city lord because of this, otherwise Nie Nichang would be the one caught in the middle.

Therefore, Duguyue has always seen the city lord frowning recently, as if he has encountered some trouble, so he asked: "I wonder if the city lord has encountered any trouble recently? I am about to leave, and I have been favored by the city lord's mansion for two years.

I can’t just leave like this, if you don’t mind, can you tell me?”

The city lord initially mistook Dugu Yue for a white-eyed wolf, but now that she was asking this question, he thought she was just pretending.

But since Dugu Yue asked this, the city lord didn't mind telling her in detail. Anyway, in a short time, the whole city would know about it.

The city lord believed that if Dugu Yue still had a little conscience, he would probably protect his daughter for the sake of these two years.

So he said: "Since you want to know, it doesn't hurt to tell you. The City Lord's Mansion has indeed encountered a major event recently, which is related to the survival of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Lord City Lord, please speak."

Duguyue nodded and said, then he stopped speaking and listened carefully to the city lord's story.

To sum up, the cause of the matter is nothing more than a conflict of interests. In Yongtai City, the City Lord's Mansion is the dominant family, but this does not mean that there are no other forces in Yongtai City.

Although Yongtai City is just a small border town, it is backed by the Monster Mountain Range and its existence is by no means shorter than any other big city. In this long history, the City Lord's Palace will naturally not be able to prosper forever. When the City Lord's Palace weakens, in addition,

Three more aristocratic families took the opportunity to rise.

The City Lord's Mansion, the Wu Family, the Kong Family, the Ding Family, and Yongtai City all fell into a situation of checks and balances among the four parties for a long time. Until Nie Wenyuan broke through the martial arts realm and defeated the previous heads of the other three families with absolute strength.

It suppressed the other three families and took control of everything in Yongtai City.

And because of worries, the three major aristocratic families were forced to join forces, and in the end they and the City Lord's Mansion suffered a loss. Therefore, they did not directly kill the three major aristocratic families.

It is rumored that there is an old guy from decades ago in the three major families. Due to his qualifications, he was unable to break through to the martial arts realm, so he closed the door to death. There is still no news. It is not known whether he succeeded or failed to break through and died.

Although Nie Wenyuan was afraid that the three aristocratic families would join forces to defeat each other, so he did not attack the three aristocratic families, but after all, the city lord's mansion had achieved success and had completely controlled Yongtai City.

The situation is stronger than the people. The three major aristocratic families have been keeping a low profile since then and have also lost a lot of profits. This situation has lasted for fifteen years, just a month ago.

The Wu family of the three major aristocratic families did not know where they invited a strong man in the Wuhou realm to sit in charge. The head of the Wu family directly asked the city lord to marry his beloved daughter to his eldest son as a concubine, and he also wanted to transfer the entire property of the city lord's mansion.

As a dowry.

This is simply another way to destroy the city lord's mansion without bloodshed, and humiliate the city lord at the same time.

The city lord, who has always been in a high position and loves his daughter as much as he wants, was humiliated by a person who usually acted like a grandson in front of him. He was so angry that he slapped him in the face. However, before the city lord could hit the head of the Wu family with a slap, he

The powerful man from the Wuhou Realm who was invited was repelled with a casual move.

Although the city lord was not injured, there was already a dispute between the two. The city lord was only a warrior on the fourth level of the martial arts realm, and was still far away from the Wuhou realm. Naturally, he could not be his enemy.

The head of the Wu family finally directly announced a deadline to the city lord. After three months, if the city lord has not made a decision by then, then the city lord's mansion will be completely destroyed.

From the beginning to the end, the strong man in the Wuhou realm did not say anything. He just casually repelled the city lord who attacked the Wu family master, as if he didn't even bother to attack the city lord.

After listening to the city lord's story, Dugu Yue's face was confused. Why is this routine so strange? She has never seen it in novels!

But no matter what, now that the city lord's palace is in trouble, she naturally can't leave like this, so Duguyue carefully considered her advantages, and then secretly said to herself: "There are still two months, enough for me to risk my life."

It’s a fight.”

The City Lord's Mansion was kind to Dugu Yue, so it was naturally impossible for her to leave under such circumstances, otherwise her conscience would be uneasy.

What's more, this matter also involves Nie Nichang, whom she regards as her sister, and it is impossible for Duguyue to choose to leave.

"Lord City Lord, I will enter the Monster Mountain Range tomorrow. In two months, I will definitely be able to keep the City Lord's Mansion safe." Duguyue said confidently to the silent City Lord, and then turned around and went to the place where Nie Nichang and her shared a dream.

Room.

If Du Guyue were to face a Wuhou Realm person now, she would definitely not have the confidence, and she would be instantly killed in one encounter.

After all, the gap is too big. The gap between the peak of the ninth level of the warrior realm and the first level of the martial arts realm is insurmountable. What's more, there is a strong man of the Wuhou realm who is at the great realm of the martial arts realm in between?

The reason why Dugu Yue is confident that he will be able to defeat the powerful Wuhou Realm master in two months comes from the Seal of Heaven and Earth.

Although she has never used it in this reality, she knows how powerful the Heaven and Earth Seal is.

Because Dugu Yue had completely passed all the inheritance trials of the Heaven and Earth Seal half a year ago, there were naturally countless battles involved.

During the last few inheritance trials, the spiritual world really felt like a real world.

There are mountains, water, and some virtual creatures, but in such a world, as soon as the seal of heaven and earth comes out, everything will turn upside down.

A majestic mountain was directly smashed into powder, and the space was shattered into pieces by the discharged palm prints, making it look like the world was about to be destroyed.

Therefore, we can also see from this how powerful the Heaven and Earth Seal is. Dugu Yue also knows that powerful force can only be used if it is backed by strong cultivation.

But even if he could only use the weakest of the heaven and earth seals, Dugu Yue still had the confidence to face a Wuhou realm.

However, the city lord didn't know all this. He was originally very optimistic about Dugu Yue, but now he is full of disappointment.

The city lord did not have the confidence to deal with Wuhou Realm, so he had made preparations and sent his wife and daughter away in advance.

And the reason why he wanted to let Dugu Yue stay for a few more years was just because he was ready to die.

The wife and daughter can leave, but he, the city lord, cannot. He needs to stay to attract the Wu family's attention.

Based on the potential he saw in Dugu Yue, he would be able to protect the safety of his wife and daughter in the future. More importantly, his daughter was dependent on her enough, but now she had some doubts about Dugu Yue's character.

With disappointment, the city lord immediately removed the bamboo forest courtyard, and he had to start making preparations.

People's hearts are complicated, how could Dugu Yue know what the city lord was thinking?

So after Duguyue returned to the room, she told Nie Nishang her decision to go to the Monster Mountain Range to experience and become stronger.

As for leaving the City Lord's Mansion, let's wait until the disaster in the City Lord's Mansion is over.

Nie Nichang naturally did not want to leave Dugu Yue and wanted to follow Dugu Yue into the Monster Mountain Range.

However, opportunities and dangers often coexist in the Monster Mountain Range. Dugu Yue himself does not have much confidence in protecting himself, let alone bringing Nie Nichang with him?

So in the end, after much talk and conditions, Nie Nichang was finally convinced.

There was no words for the whole night. In the early morning of the next day, after Dugu Yue had absorbed the purple energy, she left the city lord's mansion with the money she had just received and eighty taels of information.

It was originally one hundred taels of silver, but because Dugu Yue refused the city lord's request, he only accepted the eighty taels he deserved.

After Dugu Yue bought a bottle of Qi Ning Powder as usual, but considering that going to the Monster Mountain Range, the clothes would not be convenient for movement, he bought two sets of samurai uniforms that are convenient for movement.

When Dugu Yue returned to the City Lord's Mansion, it was still quiet inside the City Lord's Mansion, with only a few maids and servants busy as usual.

However, Dugu Yue still found something wrong. They were too tired. These maids and servants were ordinary people and did not have the spirit of warriors.

Looking at their faces, they couldn't hide their tiredness, as if they hadn't rested all night.

This gave her a very uncomfortable premonition, as if she was about to lose something important.

It's just that Duguyue is also racing against time and has no time to wonder about other things. She doesn't take that strange feeling to heart, and throws it out of mind in the next moment.

If she hadn't wanted to come back and say hello to Nie Nichang, she would have already left the city after buying the necessities for entering the Monster Mountain Range.

Duguyue walked quickly towards the small courtyard surrounded by bamboos. After living here for two years, she was very familiar with the roads here. It didn't take long before she returned to the small courtyard.

As a result, as soon as they entered the small courtyard, they saw the city lord standing alone in the courtyard looking into the distance. Dugu Yue saluted the city lord and walked to the room where she and Nie Nichang usually lived.

After walking only a few steps, I suddenly heard the voice of the city lord: "Early this morning, I sent my wife and Chang'er out of the city."

The city lord's voice was cold and distant, not as gentle as usual at all, as if Dugu Yue was a stranger he met for the first time.

The thoughts in Dugu Yue's mind were racing, and he thought a lot for a while. He was very puzzled by the city lord's intention. Why on earth should he hide it from him?

Why is the current city lord so indifferent?

Is it because she refused his request to stay for a few more years?

No matter what he thought, Dugu Yue could not figure out why the city lord's attitude changed so quickly and decisively in just one night.

"Please leave. From now on, you are no longer a member of the City Lord's Mansion, and you no longer have anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion. If you meet Chang'er and her mother in the future, for Chang'er's sake, I will help you if you can.

Just a handful."

After all, the city lord still did not take action against Dugu Yue, the "white-eyed wolf" who disappointed him, perhaps because he still hoped that Dugu Yue would have some conscience.

If he and the City Lord's Mansion had not escaped this disaster, there would still be a way out for his wife and daughter if they were in trouble.

However, the city lord's heart was still filled with anger towards Dugu Yue.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In the past two years of getting along, the city lord treated Dugu Yue like his second daughter.

But now she suddenly discovered that this second daughter was a white-eyed wolf who flew away when disaster struck. This made her even more angry and resentful than when the guests from the city lord's palace left.
