Chapter 659 -659: The Sword’s Glow Like Snow, Envelops the Entire City (4th Update)
“What’s going on? Has Beijiang settled down?” Long’Er asked indifferently.
These shadowy figures opened their mouths, uttering several extremely obscure and difficult-to-understand syllables.
Dragon language.
A specialized language used among the Dragon Clan to convey important information, it could carry a vast amount of information and even conjure dynamic images in the listener’s mind.
Long’Er was slightly taken aback, but after watching the images in his mind, a sharp glint flickered in his eyes.
“They actually killed my Dragon Slave? It looks like it must have been a Golden Immortal. Heh, how interesting!”
...
Having said that, Long’Er waved his hand casually, and the shadowy demon ghosts vanished back into the darkness.
Then he rose to his feet, walked to the window, and looked down upon the city, now sparse with lights, speaking indifferently, “I have no idea what that guy Long San is up to. He’s even lost his aura now, what a waste of space!”
At the same time.
Shi Dong returned home and had just reached his study when Shi Zhuli rushed in with tears in her eyes and then knelt on the ground.
“Father, please release brother! If he is kept confined like this, something bad will happen to him sooner or later.”
Shi Dong’s expression turned stern, and he suddenly slammed the table, exclaiming angrily, “What? Are you trying to blackmail me with this? That ingrate can die for all I care! He was always talking back at me, even saying that I would regret it!”
“Heh, if it weren’t for my timely submission, the Shi Family would have been destroyed just like the other noble houses!”
“But…”
“There’s no ‘but’. Don’t bring this matter up again, or else don’t blame me for not being courteous to you as well.”
Shi Zhuli looked at her father, whose face was twisted with fierceness, and felt a chill through her body.
She did not understand why things had become like this.
Why her father, who had always been kind, had suddenly become so callous, even to the point of putting his own son under house arrest.
In the end, she bowed her head with difficulty and said, “Yes!”
After speaking, she left the house as if she had lost her soul.
Watching his daughter’s retreating figure, Shi Dong slowly leaned back in his chair, his expression appearing ice-cold in the darkness.
“Family affection? Heh, once you become a Dragon Slave, you gain endless life and tremendous power. By then, everything will be mine, why should I care for such lowly family affection?”
At that moment, Shi Zhuli stumbled into the room where her brother was being held.
The guards, too, had some concerns about the actions of Shi Dong, the old Family Head, so they did not stop her.
Entering the room, Shi Hao was shackled with chains but still had a calm expression as he read a book.
“Brother!” Shi Zhuli uttered with a trembling voice.
Shi Hao looked up at his sister, and a smile appeared on his thin face, “Have you seen him again?”
Shi Zhuli nodded, her tears beginning to fall uncontrollably.
Shi Hao sighed softly, “I’ve said before, seeing him won’t change anything! He’s now so obsessed with the pursuit of power and eternal life that he can’t extricate himself!”
“Yet his foolishness lies in believing those Descended Demon Ghosts!”
“Actually, if the Shi Family could just closely follow Mr. Xue, they would gain far greater benefits. But he can’t see through that, and even thinks Mr. Xue won’t be coming back!”
At that, Shi Hao’s face showed a mocking smile, “I’ve said it, he will definitely regret it! I look forward to seeing that day.”
“Brother, when do you think Mr. Xue will return?”
Shi Hao shook his head, “It might be a long time from now, or it might be right now. But no matter when it is, he will definitely return. I have a feeling! That’s why that lad Feng Chaosi would rather flee than betray him. After all… opposing Mr. Xue is far more dangerous than opposing these Demon Ghosts!”
Meanwhile, on the main street of the provincial city, Feng Chaosi wrapped himself in a tattered coat, slowly walking along the edge of the street shrouded in darkness.
The once thriving city had now become desolate.
In the distance, the sinister laughter of Demon Ghosts and the screams and cries of humans could be faintly heard.
