Chapter 456 Mingzeshu Arrives at Tingya Tower
Seeing this, Chen Xin'er's eyes grew even more resolute. She straightened her spine and said without hesitation, "Please believe me, Elder Ming. This concerns the lives of all the people of Lingyuan City. How dare I make such a joke?" Tears shone in her eyes, reflecting her concern for the people of Lingyuan City and her heartache for Xu Tian's fate. She knew that if she couldn't convince Ming Zeshu, the city would be plunged into endless slaughter and destruction. Her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if that could ease the tension within her.
Ming Zeshu looked at Chen Xin'er's determined expression, and his heart wavered. He was silent for a moment, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and consideration. He slowly said, "Since you are so determined, I will definitely go to Ting Ya Tower to take a look." Although he still had doubts in his heart, Chen Xin'er's persistence made him feel that this matter might be based on merit. He decided to go and investigate for himself. A hint of alarm flashed in his eyes, as if he had a premonition that an unusual crisis awaited him at Ting Ya Tower.
Chen Xin'er sighed helplessly, but this was the only way to convince Ming Zeshu. She bowed deeply to him and said sincerely, "Ancestor Ming, please cooperate with City Lord Gao and ask Ancestor Ding for help. The fate of Lingyuan City rests in your hands." Her voice held a hint of pleading. She knew Ming Zeshu was their only hope. If he could help, perhaps there was still a chance to save Lingyuan City. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she stared intently at Ming Zeshu, hoping to see a hint of affirmation on his face.
Ming Zeshu nodded slightly, his figure flashing and disappearing instantly. His movements were as fast as lightning, without a trace of drag, and in the blink of an eye, he blended into the night. In fact, he was already rushing towards Tingya Tower at full speed. His figure shuttled through the darkness, bringing a breeze that rustled the dry grass on the roadside.
Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu stood there, their eyes fixed on the direction Ming Zeshu had left, their eyes filled with worry and anticipation. Their eyes were filled with fear of the unknown, unsure whether Ming Zeshu would be able to successfully convince everyone, or how the battle at Tingya Tower would unfold. Chen Xin'er unconsciously clenched her hands, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if this could ease her inner tension. Chen Yu gently held Chen Xin'er's hand, trying to offer some comfort, but his own hands were trembling slightly, clearly indicating his own inner uneasiness.
Hong Ze stood aside, observing the expressions of Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If what you say is true, how can I help you?" His eyes revealed a hint of concern and caution. Although he harbored doubts about what Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu said, he also understood that if things were truly as they claimed, Lingyuan City would face a huge crisis. As a member of the Ming family, he couldn't just sit back and watch. His hands rubbed unconsciously, revealing his inner uneasiness and entanglement.
Chen Xiner was moved by Hong Ze's words. She thought to herself: I don't know why Ming Zeshu is here, but at least being here saves a lot of time. Thinking carefully, perhaps the Ming family already knew that they were the ones who caused trouble at the Li family. For some reason, they seemed to be helping Chen Xiner and the others.
In that case, Chen Xin'er didn't hesitate. She raised her head, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and said, "Hurry and send someone to the capital. If they meet Lin Feng on the way, tell him that Xu Tian's seal has been lifted and have him come to Lingyuan City immediately." She knew that Lin Feng might be the key figure who could help Xu Tian control his power, and now they could only hope that he would arrive in time. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she stared closely at Hong Ze, hoping that he would quickly arrange for someone to search for Lin Feng.
Hong Ze hesitated, a look of conflict and worry in his eyes. He knew that sending someone to the capital to search for Lin Feng would be no easy task, and that there were numerous risks involved. But seeing the anxious expressions of Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu, and considering the safety of Lingyuan City, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll arrange for someone to find Lin Feng right away." His voice was firm, and despite his misgivings, he decided to do as Chen Xin'er requested. He turned and whispered a few words to the men behind him, who immediately took his orders and left, their figures quickly disappearing into the night.
Hong Ze then turned and said to Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu, "Come in and sit for a while." His eyes revealed a hint of concern. He knew that Lingyuan City was in chaos and that dangers lurked everywhere. While the antique trading shop wasn't completely safe, it was at least a temporary refuge. His tone was soothing, trying to calm Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu down a bit.
Chen Xin'er and Chen Yu exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness. They knew that no place in Lingyuan City was truly safe. For now, they could only rest in the shop for a while, awaiting their fate. With heavy steps, they slowly walked into the shop and found a place to sit down.
Ming Zeshu's figure was like a ghost, darting across the rooftops at a rapid speed, his robes rustling and stirring a cool breeze. His face was solemn, his gaze fixed on the direction of Tingya Tower, a wary mind in his heart. Before he even approached, the energy generated by the Grandmasters' battle surged towards him like a surging tide, with a howling wind and swirling sand and stones, striking his face painfully. The houses along the street teetered under the onslaught of this ferocious force, walls collapsing with a thud, bricks and stones scattering across the ground, raising clouds of dust as if the apocalypse had arrived.
Panicked people fled like headless flies, their cries and shouts mingling and echoing through the night sky. They stumbled, their families in tow, their eyes filled with fear and despair as they desperately rushed out of the city, fearful of being caught in this sudden disaster. Ming Zeshu's heart sank as he gazed at the chaotic scene before him. He knew full well that the destructive power of this battle was far beyond his imagination. Chen Xin'er's words were true.
When he finally approached Tingya Tower, the figures of Xu Tian and Gao Jinghao came into view. Xu Tian was like a demon god descending to the earth, surrounded by a mist of purple air, exuding a chilling aura. Each of his attacks carried a force that could destroy the heavens and the earth. When his fists swung, the air was torn apart, making a "woooo" sound. Gao Jinghao, holding a long sword, had lost his former majesty. At this moment, he looked extremely embarrassed. His clothes were torn and stained red with blood. The flesh on the wounds was turned outward, which was shocking. His eyes revealed fatigue and unwillingness, but he still stubbornly waved the sword to resist Xu Tian's attacks, but his figure was shaking a little, and it was obvious that he was at the end of his strength.
