Star-like scattered talismans and magical artifacts streamed in from all directions.
The five Golden Core cultivators attacked Chen Changsheng and the others simultaneously with lightning speed, with three of them focusing their siege on Li Linyu.
In their opinion, the reason Li Linyu appeared to be an ordinary person was because her cultivation was the deepest and her concealment methods were the strongest.
Just then, a sharp sword cry resounded.
Chen Changsheng and the others stood still, while the Ninefold Yellow Springs Sword suddenly flew out, like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, bringing with it a dazzling light.
Clang!
In the blink of an eye, the Ninefold Yellow Springs Sword traversed the entire area. Except for Chen Changsheng, no one saw the direction of the flying sword clearly, and they didn't even have time to react.
They only felt a flash of cold light, and an icy chill penetrated their necks.
Including the five Golden Core cultivators who were rushing in, their figures suddenly froze after being brushed by the sword light, and their vast cultivation aura dissipated rapidly like a deflated ball.
A crisp 'crack' was heard, and the Ninefold Yellow Springs Sword flew back to its scabbard.
Along with the sound, a scarlet bloodline appeared on the necks of the Deng family cultivators at the same time.
Puff!!!!
The next second, bright red blood spurted out from everyone's necks like a fountain.
The Deng family cultivators were filled with horror and astonishment, and they subconsciously covered their necks.
However, with just this touch, their field of vision suddenly tilted, and their entire heads fell off!
The muffled sound of them hitting the ground was particularly deafening on the silent street.
The commoners and cultivators who were watching from afar all contracted their pupils when they saw this scene.
Especially when they saw that the five Golden Core cultivators were also beheaded, they felt their hairs stand on end, and an icy coldness spread from head to toe.
They had lived in Lotus Horn City for so many years, and they knew the identities and strengths of these five Golden Core cultivators very well. Countless cultivators had been harmed by these five Golden Cores of the Deng family, and everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
As a result, the five Golden Core ancestors of the Deng family were now beheaded like chickens and dogs!
This strong visual impact made the people of Lotus Horn City feel unbelievable, as if they were dreaming.
"The five ancestors of the Deng family... are dead!!"
As soon as these words came out, it instantly caused an uproar.
"Senior, the Deng family is one of the four major families in Lotus Horn City, supported by the Nascent Soul City Lord behind them. After they learn about what happened here, they will definitely unite, you have to be careful!"
An old woman with a hunched figure tremblingly walked up to Chen Changsheng and reminded him with a cautious expression.
Chen Changsheng looked over, and the golden light of true fire flickered and swayed, shining brightly on his dark purple Daoist robe.
"Can you tell me about the four major families and the Lotus Horn City Lord?"
"Of course, no problem, Senior, please come with me."
Chen Changsheng felt a little strange in his heart being called 'Senior' by an old woman.
However, according to the age of survival, he could indeed be called a senior. After all, the old woman in front of him was just an aging Qi Refining cultivator.
The old woman led Chen Changsheng and the others to her home.
Although her cultivation was low, the environment at home was not bad. It was a large courtyard house with more than a dozen people living in it, and many maids and servants were busy in the courtyard.
As long as cultivators are willing to live the life of ordinary people, their lives are quite good.
The old woman poured tea for Chen Changsheng and the others, sat opposite them, and said softly: "My family is poor, I hope Senior will not dislike the simple tea."
"It's okay, just tell me the situation."
Chen Changsheng symbolically took a sip of tea.
The old woman nodded and said: "The four major families are the largest family forces in Lotus Horn City. They have a history of hundreds of years in the city. Basically, passing cultivators will be robbed of their wealth or even their bodies. It is more like bandits than a family."
"None of the four families are good people, they are all human scum. Senior does not need to worry about killing the wrong person."
"Before the destruction of the Xin Sheng Sect, there were many demons and evil cultivators in the four major families."
"The passing cultivators in those years ended up even more miserable than they do now. Not only would they be robbed of their wealth, but they would also be caught to be used as cauldrons, and the useless ones would become blood food."
"Even the Lotus Horn City Lord cultivates demonic and evil techniques, and this city has therefore become a lawless zone."
The old woman's eyes were turbid, and she recalled the scene of that year.
At that time, she was still a child, hidden by her parents in a hidden formation in the corner, and she personally saw her family being dragged into the house and humiliated to death.
If her parents hadn't sealed her mobility and voice with magic, she would definitely have been discovered by the demons and evil cultivators, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
At that time, Lotus Horn City was a death city that extinguished humanity!
She took a deep breath before barely calming her thoughts and continuing: "Later, the Xin Sheng Sect gathered demons and evil cultivators to attack Taiping City, which allowed the commoners and cultivators of Lotus Horn City to breathe a sigh of relief."
"It's just that the newly appointed Lotus Horn City Lord is not a good bird either. Although he controls a large number of monsters, he never manages city affairs and ignores the evil deeds of the four major families."
"According to the investigation of the people in the city, the City Lord must be in collusion with the four major families. Although the current four major families are not as brutal as before, they have not harmed others less."
"Once there are no outside cultivators entering the city for a long time, they will not be able to restrain themselves from robbing the cultivators in the city..."
The old woman slowly revealed her grievances, her eyes full of sadness and resentment.
She had thought about escaping Lotus Horn City, but the four major families did not allow local cultivators to leave the city, and if they were discovered, they would be severely injured and sent back.
The cultivators in the city are basically Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivations. Whoever breaks through to the Golden Core stage will be qualified to become an elder of the four major families and enjoy endless resources and rights.
This environment has maintained a hundred years of stability, and the people in the city have also been exploited for a hundred years.
"What does the Lotus Horn City Lord do every day?" Chen Changsheng asked.
The old woman replied: "He enjoys himself in the City Lord's Mansion every day. He does not lack cultivation resources and does not need to go out to train, but he is the strongest in the city, so the four major families dare not rebel and must constantly provide him with cultivation resources."
As long as the Nascent Soul stage does not emerge, the Nascent Soul cultivation City Lord will be fearless, living a carefree life and enjoying all the prosperity and entertainment in the world.
No matter how many Golden Core stages the four major families have, they cannot do anything to him.
"He doesn't lack resources and doesn't go out, but only raises monsters in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Chen Changsheng stroked his chin and said lightly: "Has he harmed the people in the city?"
The old woman's expression was slightly startled, and after recalling for a moment, she shook her head and said: "He has not harmed the people, which is the only point worth celebrating. It is precisely because of this that the four major families have not been too excessive to the people, at most they just rob some wealth to supplement the family economy."
