#269 - Chapter 269: The City Lord's Order! Goodbye, Mother!
The Meng family's old ancestor sneered coldly, looking at Jiang Luo with a face full of murderous intent.
So what if you have unparalleled talent and are a sword dao genius?
In the face of a powerful background, you are still as insignificant as an ant.
"Alas."
Everyone at the scene sighed for Jiang Luo, feeling sorry for him.
Although the people's hearts were with Jiang Luo, they dared not speak out against the city lord's adopted son, the Fourth Army Corps' commander, the Saint King of the Milky Way, Meng Xinghe.
They could only silently pray for Jiang Luo, hoping for a miracle to happen.
"Ye Xuan, the Sword Emperor City forbids killing. You have killed hundreds of members of the Meng family, a heinous crime."
"This army commander will now capture you and bring you to justice."
Meng Xinghe, this Saint King, unleashed his power, attacking Jiang Luo with a fierce momentum.
Just as Feng Ruyan was about to take action.
A loud shout rang out, "Fourth brother, stop!"
Immediately afterward, a giant axe came cleaving through, directly knocking Meng Xinghe back.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Meng Xinghe's mouth.
Then, an extremely burly man, carrying two axes on his back, walked out.
It was the commander of the First Army Corps, Qiu Ran!
A peak Saint Emperor, with half a foot into the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Among the Sword Emperor's adopted sons and daughters, he was the strongest.
"Big brother, why did you hurt me?"
Meng Xinghe widened his eyes, looking at Qiu Ran in disbelief.
"This person killed hundreds of members of my Meng family. Is big brother trying to protect him?"
His tone became somewhat angry.
Qiu Ran crossed his arms, and said indifferently: "The adoptive father has ordered that the Meng family, taking advantage of the situation to loot, has lost all conscience and disrupted the morale of the army, and should be exterminated!"
"As for you, fourth brother, in consideration of your ignorance, you will be demoted to the vice commander of the Fourth Army Corps. I hope that in the upcoming great battle against the fierce demons, you will redeem yourself with meritorious service."
Qiu Ran directly announced the city lord's order.
A single word determined the fate of the Meng family.
He sneered inwardly, this Meng family was truly courting death, actually offending Young Master Luo.
This was the adoptive father's darling.
To touch him was certain death.
"Yes... Yes... Xinghe obeys."
Meng Xinghe looked dejected and knelt down to accept the order.
He didn't dare to question his adoptive father's order at all.
It seemed that the Meng family had really done something that angered both gods and men.
The adoptive father was able to spare him lightly, probably because of the imminent threat of the fierce demon army.
"It's over."
At this time, the Meng family's old ancestor's face was pale, and he collapsed directly to the ground in fright.
In Sword Emperor City, the city lord was the heavens.
His words were imperial edicts.
This time, the Meng family was really going to be exterminated.
At this time, the Meng family's old ancestor was filled with regret.
Why was he so greedy?
Now, he had paid the price of extermination.
"Long live the city lord!"
"The city lord is wise!"
After hearing the city lord's order, everyone cheered.
The city lord had finally stood up for them.
The Meng family, who had been tyrannical and looted during the crisis, had finally received their punishment.
Afterward, everyone left.
The Meng family was also punished, and the entire family, including the Meng family's old ancestor, were arrested.
Then, they were publicly beheaded.
Jiang Luo entered the Undying Heaven Sect's station.
"Young Master Ye Xuan, thank you for standing up for everyone just now, allowing the Meng family to be punished."
Chu Shanhe said gratefully.
Jiang Luo smiled slightly: "Everyone is jointly resisting the fierce demons, it should be a time of united will, this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the situation to loot, losing all conscience, should naturally be resolutely cracked down upon."
Afterward, Jiang Luo took out a lot of resources and handed them to Chu Shanhe.
Chu Shanhe looked at Jiang Luo with a confused expression.
Jiang Luo said: "I am good friends with your sect master. Now that war is about to break out, you take these resources and quickly improve everyone's strength, so that the chances of surviving on the battlefield will be greater."
As the sect master, he could only do this much.
Afterward, he left directly with Feng Ruyan and the Seven Sword Slaves.
"The Supreme Elder chose Luo Wang to be the sect master, binding him to the Undying God Sect, it really was the wisest choice."
Chu Shanhe smiled.
...
As time passed.
The atmosphere of war became heavier and heavier.
In the Sword Heart Small Abode, Jiang Luo constantly studied the 'Immortal Sword Manual', improving his own strength.
This day, Chang Hong came to report.
The Great Xia Divine Dynasty's reinforcements had arrived at Sword Emperor City.
This time, it was actually Eighteenth Ancestor Jiang Xuan leading the team.
It seemed that a great decisive battle was coming.
The various top forces of the Chaos World's human race would send top experts to help.
His mother, Dugu Xiaoyue, had also come with the Great Xia reinforcements.
Presumably, she missed her son and father.
"Ruyan, go to the Great Xia station with me," Jiang Luo instructed.
If it were anyone else, Jiang Luo would never reveal his identity and go to the Great Xia station.
Even Jiang Xuan, the old ancestor, could not be allowed to know that Ye Xuan was Jiang Luo, just in case.
After all, he was competing with Jiang Shenkong, and some clansmen would not stand on his side.
They were not worth complete trust.
Only grandfather and parents could be completely trusted.
The person she wanted to see was naturally his mother, Dugu Xiaoyue.
Firstly, to see his mother.
Secondly, to have her send a message to grandfather, asking him to prepare some resources for himself.
If he wanted Feng Ruyan to return to her peak, he could only ask grandfather for help.
After all, the Dugu family was not a long-standing great force inheritance.
Its foundation was insufficient.
But the Great Xia Divine Dynasty had been inherited for more than 200,000 years, its foundation was terrifyingly strong.
As the Human Emperor, his grandfather could still manage to mobilize some resources.
Grandfather also knew about Feng Ruyan's matter, and for his safety, he would definitely spare no expense to fully help him.
This was family!
Arriving at the Great Xia station.
Jiang Luo successfully met his mother, Dugu Xiaoyue.
"Luo... Ye Xuan, do you have something to ask me?"
Seeing her beloved son, Dugu Xiaoyue was very excited.
However, thinking that she couldn't reveal her son's identity, she forcibly suppressed her impulse.
Jiang Luo smiled and said: "Madam Jiang, my master has a connection with your husband, Jiang Ning. Unable to see Senior Jiang Ning, I can only see you and have you pass that thing to him."
Dugu Xiaoyue said: "Okay, come with me."
Then, she took Jiang Luo to her room.
"This Ye Xuan... such a strong sword intent, is he an even more powerful genius than Kong'er and Luo'er?"
"The Golden Age, as expected, is full of geniuses. Even geniuses like Kong'er and Luo'er cannot completely suppress an era."
Jiang Xuan looked at the departing Jiang Luo, thinking to himself.
In this life, too many geniuses have appeared.
The geniuses who can enter the Heaven Ranking, at other times, basically have the hope of winning the first place in the Heaven Ranking.
"Luo'er, mother misses you so much."
Dugu Xiaoyue hugged Jiang Luo with an excited expression.
It had been more than a year since they last separated.
"Mother, I'm so old already, and you're still hugging me," Jiang Luo said.
Feeling a little weird in his heart.
After all, he was a transmigrator.
Dugu Xiaoyue pouted: "No matter how old you are, you are still mother's son."
"What's wrong with hugging you? Do you dislike mother?"
"No, no," Jiang Luo quickly shook his head.
But there was a warmth in his heart.
Wasn't this the affection that he had been looking forward to for a long time, that he had always wanted?
Having such a loving mother was an incredibly happy thing.
