Chapter 1291 1290: Qian Songyixue in Danger
"The Celestial Saint won't appoint you as the new City Lord. Upon learning that Wan Guohai was inexplicably stripped of his title, the Celestial Saint specially dispatched the eldest master to lead me and the Third Elder to hold you accountable," Wei Bao said with an uncompromising expression.
A change came over Qiu Qiming's face. His position as City Lord had indeed come somewhat unearned.
Because during the city's grand competition, it was Lin Fei who ultimately defeated Wan Guohai and Wan Jingyuan. The position of the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City originally belonged to Lin Fei, not him, Qiu Qiming.
Therefore, it was highly possible for the Celestial Saint of the Holy Dragon Realm to send the eldest master and two young masters to question him for his crimes.
"Fourth Elder, have mercy. If I, Qiu Qiming, can't bear the role of City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City, I can immediately resign from the position," Qiu Qiming had already prepared himself to step down as City Lord.
But Wei Bao coldly laughed and said, "Do you think resigning from the position will absolve you? You weren't the winner of the grand competition, yet you became the new City Lord. This is corruption and ignoring the rules set by the Celestial Saint."
Clearly, Wei Bao had already investigated and knew that Qiu Qiming didn't gain the City Lord position through his own strength.
Then, Wei Bao looked around at the four Saint Guards he brought and ordered, "Four Saint Guards, seize Qiu Qiming."
"Yes, Fourth Elder," the four Saint Guards responded in thunderous voices.
As the four Saint Guards were about to step forward, Qiu Qiming said, "No need for you to act, I will go with you."
After Qiu Qiming said this, he looked at Leng Ying and said, "Leng Ying, if Lin Fei comes, tell him I have left, and not to worry about my affairs."
He said this because he didn't want Lin Fei to offend the supreme ruler, the Celestial Saint of the Holy Dragon Realm, by trying to rescue him.
"City Lord Qiu, I will pass your words to Lin Fei, and I believe he will definitely save you," Leng Ying's eyes flashed with unwavering determination.
"No one can save him!" At this moment, Wei Bao interrupted Leng Ying and said with a fiery gaze at Leng Ying, "It seems you are accomplices in Qiu Qiming's corruption. It's perfect that I capture you all together."
Leng Ying's eyes suddenly gleamed with sharpness as he already saw through that Wei Bao was prepared.
It seemed unlikely that he had come solely for Qiu Qiming and was very likely coming for Lin Fei.
Because it was Lin Fei who placed Qiu Qiming in the position of City Lord.
"City Lord Qiu, even if you are willing to go with them, they won't easily spare us. We might as well confront them," Leng Ying said to Qiu Qiming.
Qiu Qiming also realized that this Fourth Elder Wei Bao's sudden arrival at the City Lord's Mansion might not have been simple.
"Audacious! I am an elder of the Holy Dragon Realm, and if you dare defy my orders, you are opposing the Celestial Saint of the Holy Dragon Realm. Do you have a death wish?" Wei Bao's eyes flared with coldness, warning them.
Yet, Qiu Qiming was determined and said, "Since it means death anyway, why should I listen to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, with a swish, a sharp sword appeared in Qiu Qiming's hand. Holy energy surged, the Sword Light flickered—Qiu Qiming had made up his mind to fight Wei Bao.
Qiu Qiming was so determined because he saw that Wei Bao wouldn't even spare Leng Ying, Qian Songyixue, and Li Ruyan, who were all Lin Fei's women and brothers, which was something Qiu Qiming would never compromise on.
Leng Ying, Qian Songyixue, and Li Ruyan all brandished their weapons.
After returning to Huaxia, Leng Ying gave some low-grade Holy Spirit Pills he carried with him to Li Ruyan, Qian Songyixue, Li Qing, and the Xie Wenbo siblings for cultivation, so before coming to the Holy Dragon Continent, they had all achieved the Saint Transformation Realm strength.
Although Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and the others were ready to fight, Wei Bao did not take them seriously. He laughed loudly, "A bunch of ants ignorant of death, daring to oppose the Celestial Saint!"
Then Wei Bao looked at the four Saint Guards beside him and said, "Kill everyone but the girl in the white dress, leave no one alive!"
The four Saint Guards responded in unison and drew their weapons. Sword Light devoured, their aura was overwhelmingly fierce.
Qiu Qiming and Leng Ying exchanged a glance; they somewhat understood that Wei Bao's visit tonight seemed to primarily target Qian Songyixue.
Because Wei Bao specifically named the white-dressed Qian Songyixue.
This further strengthened the resolve of Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and the others to fight Wei Bao to the death.
"Kill!" Qiu Qiming shouted angrily, his sword leading the charge against the four Saint Guards.
Leng Ying, Li Qing, the Xie Wenbo siblings, and the ten or so Saint experts led by Leng Ying all attacked the four Saint Guards.
Only Li Ruyan holding Xiaofei and Qian Songyixue standing guard beside her did not attack.
Facing the attack from Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and the large group, the four Saint Guards remained expressionless, extremely cold, and exuded a powerful murderous aura.
As Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and the others approached, suddenly the killing intent in the four Saint Guards' eyes intensified, and in the next second, their sharp swords swept out through the air.
With a thunderous boom, the air trembled violently, Sword Light flew by, stormy winds arose, bricks and stones from the ground flew chaotically. Under the powerful Sword Qi storm, Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and others almost suffocated, and before they could even reach the four Saint Guards, they were swept away by the Sword Qi storm.
With a series of thuds, Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and others were like kites with broken strings—they were directly flung ten meters away, falling heavily to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood, and getting injured.
Only Li Ruyan and Qian Songyixue remained standing where they were, while the place where Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and others fell was even further away from Wei Bao than where they stood.
This effectively put Li Ruyan and Qian Songyixue in an extremely dangerous position.
Wei Bao watched the scene of Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and others being blown away and injured by the four Saint Guards, a disdainful smile appeared on his face: "Just you ants, thinking of opposing us? Today, you'll all die!"
Then Wei Bao's gaze turned to Qian Songyixue, a fake kind smile appeared on his face: "How should we address this young lady? Our Celestial Saint's eldest son has fallen for your unrivaled beauty and has specifically sent me to invite you for a meeting."
Hearing this, Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and others, who were lying on the ground, realized that Wei Bao had come causing trouble because their eldest son had been smitten with Qian Songyixue.
Qian Songyixue then realized that tonight's catastrophe at the City Lord's Mansion was all because of her.
But she had no interest in the Celestial Saint's eldest son, and was even more furious at him for injuring Qiu Qiming, Leng Ying, and others.
"I don't know your Celestial Saint's eldest son, please leave immediately!" Qian Songyixue frowned, her eyes flashing with sharpness, and coldly spoke to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao's face immediately turned ugly. Despite being an elder of the Holy Dragon Realm, Qian Songyixue was just an ordinary girl speaking to him this way, filling him with instant anger.
"If it weren't for the eldest son's favor, with you speaking to me like this, you'd already be a cold corpse," Wei Bao said sharply. He continued, "Tonight, I shall take you to accompany the eldest son. Consider it fortune from your past life."
As he finished speaking, Wei Bao's figure moved like a ghost, rushing towards Qian Songyixue.
