Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Even the Carefree City group was stunned, while pandemonium had broken out atop the city walls. Lady Leng Yue’s face had completely turned black.

Massacre the city? How could he be so cruel?!

Han Yunxi was stunned as well, but this was Long Feiye’s style thorough and thorough. Since he made a detour specifically to this city, he wouldn’t show an ounce of mercy. A massacre was cruel, but which member of that city wasn’t cruel themselves? Which one wasn’t a professional killer who murdered men? Who hadn’t exterminated entire families in their time? How many of them even followed Confucian principles of morality and fidelity, much less justice and honor? All their lives, they had only followed the creed of murder for money.

Han Yunxi was a doctor, but faced with forces like these, she’d long hidden away her own sympathy. Affairs of the jianghu should follow laws of the jianghu as well! In fact, the denizens of Carefree City quite liked Long Feiye’s ruthless style. They immediately agreed with his challenge.

Third Elder Qi laughed out loud and said, “Since when has Lady Leng Yue turned into a tortoise who shrinks in her shell?”

Meanwhile, the rest of the jianghu group went to stand on Long Feiye’s side as well.

“This scum of the jianghu! If we don’t destroy her den, they’ll rise again from the ashes one day!”

“Your Highness Duke of Qin is wise and brilliant. Destroying the City of Daughters today will act as a warning to the rest. It’s about time we put some fear into these crooked schools and evil sects.”

Now the Carefree City group grew unhappy at the words. Fortunately, Third Elder Qi held them back before a fight could break out between the forces and turn everyone into a laughingstock.

Such warnings only incensed Lady Leng Yue. “Long Feiye, don’t be so brash. Do you really think this old woman’s afraid of you lot?”

Around her, six to seven other assassin clan heads chorused, “City Lord, we’ll pledge our lives to protect this city. No one is allowed inside a step!”

Lady Leng Yue had already decided on the duel, but Leng Shuangshuang held her back and muttered, “Mother, you mustn’t fall for their psychological ploys! They’ve come prepared to use their strength to bully the weak!”

Perhaps it was the fact that she held no real fury towards His Highness Duke of Qin, but Leng Shuangshuang was still clear minded in the midst of all this chaos. The City of Daughters was no weakling. Despite losing half of their experts at Lost Void Lake, they still stood strong. However, Long Feiye had gathered up Carefree City and various martial arts circle experts to vastly suppress their power. This was the inevitable truth.

On one side, the eldest daughter Leng Bingling[1. Leng Bingling (冷冰凌) - her name literally means “cold icicle.”] added with a murmur, “Mother, now isn’t the time to let your emotions affect your decisions. We have to outwit them!”

Lady Leng Yue finally calmed down. Although she wasn’t willing, she had to face the truth: their only choice now was to escape. Everything now had been her fault. If she had refused Bai Yanqing’s offer, the City of Daughters wouldn’t have fallen to disaster today. As the City Lord, she was responsible for shouldering the consequences. She had already pit herself against Long Feiye at Lost Void Lake, but it was only a cursory duel. At first, Duanmu Yao and Han Yunxi had gotten involved as well. Then Han Yunix had crippled her twin swords. More than Long Feiye, Lady Leng Yue hated Han Yunxi the most!
