Duanmu Ying shouted for a long time until her throat hurt, but no one cared about her. On the other hand, the surrounding people pointed at her, making her feel very embarrassed. In the end, she had no choice but to leave and return to her previous unrenovated residence. She had long cursed Xue Fanxin a thousand times in her heart.
Xue Fanxin was clearly targeting her.
But what could she do?
Now that the Duanmu family had lost the backing of the Nine Nether Holy Land, there were internal and external troubles. If she provoked Xue Fanxin again, she would really die.
Hence, no matter how much she hated her, she could only bear with it.
Just as Duanmu Ying was angry, hateful, and helpless, a voice suddenly sounded. “Do you want to vent your anger?”
Duanmu Ying looked up and realized that it was Feng Xianyao. She was very shocked. “Why is it you?”
“So what if it’s me? Let me ask you, do you want to vent your anger?”
“So what if I want to? Xue Fanxin is the Nine Nether Consort and the disciple of the Spacetime Emperor and the Red Dust Emperor. She is very powerful to begin with. What can I do to her?”
“As long as you want to vent your anger, I have a way to help you.”
“What should I do? Feng Xianyao, although you’re the Phoenix Star, with your current ability, you can’t do anything to Xue Fanxin. You can’t even do it yourself, so how can you help me?”
“As long as you place this on Xuanyuan Yunxing, you don’t have to worry about anything else.” Feng Xianyao took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in front of Duanmu Ying. Although she did not say anything else, her confident expression had already made everything clear.
Duanmu Ying did not know how she had agreed to this in the end. Perhaps because she hated Xue Fanxin too much, she knew that going against her was very dangerous, but she was still willing to take the risk.
What if she succeeded!
After Feng Xianyao left Duanmu Ying’s place, she hid in the crowd and secretly monitored Xue Fanxin’s every move.
Xue Fanxin was currently busy with all kinds of things, so how could she have the time to care about Feng Xianyao and Duanmu Ying? She walked around Desolate City and looked at the current scene. She already had some sketches in her mind, thinking about how to make this place better in the future.
Perhaps because Xue Fanxin had easily defeated the Gu family’s ancestor, the people who came to the Desolate Region from all directions did not dare to cause trouble casually. Everything was done according to the rules of the Desolate City. No matter who you were, you had to behave.
Time passed little by little. To many people, a day was actually very fast, but to some people, a day was really long.
The Gu family’s ancestor had never known that being hung would be so uncomfortable. He felt that he was about to die at all times. At this moment, he wished that the Gu family could quickly take money to save him. He waited from dark to dawn and finally waited for the Gu family to come.
The Gu family head did not dare to play any tricks this time. He gathered 200 million high-grade blue crystals and hurriedly rushed over to save them. Even when he reached the door of the King of the Desolate Region’s Estate and did not see the King or Xue Fanxin, he did not dare to save them anymore. Instead, he waited for someone to go in and report.
When Xue Fanxin found out that the Gu family had brought money, she was not in a hurry to go out. She slowly ate and drank her fill.
Just like that, the Gu family’s ancestor was hung for another two hours, but even so, he did not dare to have any complaints. He could only hope that Xue Fanxin would come quickly. After waiting for a long time, he finally arrived. The moment he saw Xue Fanxin, he immediately said, “She’s here. Quickly hand over the money.”
The Gu family head was very helpless and could only take out his crystal card respectfully. “Miss Xue, there are 200 million high-grade blue crystals in this card. Please take it.”
Xue Fanxin took out her black card and swiped the 200 million high-grade blue crystals from the Gu family head’s card. “At least you’re sensible this time. If you dare to cause trouble in my Desolate Region again, it won’t be something that can be resolved with money.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We promise there won’t be a next time.”
“Since you’ve already delivered the money as requested, I’ll keep my promise and let them go.” Xue Fanxin casually waved her hand and removed all the vines on Gu Zhenzhen, the Gu family’s ancestor, and Elder Lu, but she did not let anyone else go.
Those were all the Gu family’s guards and followers. Some were Gu Zhenzhen’s male pets, but they were all still hanging.
After Gu Zhenzhen obtained her freedom, she took a deep breath. Seeing that her male companions were not hanging, she questioned with a hint of displeasure, “Xue Fanxin, we’ve already paid the ransom of 200 million high-grade blue crystals according to your requirements. Why aren’t you letting them go?”
“Miss Gu, isn’t your arithmetic a little too bad? I made it very clear previously that you and that Elder Lu are worth 50 million high-grade blue crystals. The Gu family’s ancestor is worth 100 million high-grade blue crystals, and the others are each worth 1 million high-grade blue crystals. Now, you only give 200 million high-grade blue crystals. It’s only a ransom for the three of you. The others don’t have any at all. Since you didn’t pay the ransom, why should I let them go?”
“You’re simply…” Gu Zhenzhen still wanted to quarrel with Xue Fanxin, but she was frightened by her father’s gaze and did not dare to speak anymore.
She could ignore the Gu family’s followers and guards, but she cared about those male pets.
These male companions had followed her for many years and had extremely good methods of serving her. She could not bear to give up.
However, if she wanted to save them, she would have to spend a few million high-grade blue crystals. She did not have money!
From the looks of it, her father and grandfather did not seem to be willing to spend this money. After all, the family had already suffered a huge blow by pooling 200 million high-grade blue crystals. How could they have any extra money to save her male pet?
The Gu family head really did not intend to save Gu Zhenzhen and the other male companions. He even planned to give up on those followers and guards. In the beginning, he only wanted to save three people, so after saving them, he left quickly without saying a word.
“Let’s go.”
When the Gu family’s ancestor was hung outside the King’s Estate, all kinds of arrogance had been ground to zero. Now that he had regained his freedom, the resentment and hatred in his heart rose exponentially. Although he did not say anything explicitly, he swore in his heart that he would definitely take revenge.
When he returned to the Gu family and recuperated, he would contact his former good friends and various factions. No matter what, he had to give the Desolate Region a ruthless blow, especially that Xue Fanxin. He had to skin this damned girl alive.
However, before that, he had to leave the Desolate Region quickly. If Xue Fanxin went back on her word, he would not be able to leave.
Not only did the Gu family’s ancestor think so, but the others were the same. Therefore, they walked extremely quickly, wishing they could leave the Desolate Region.
However, unexpectedly, when they reached the city gate of Desolate City, a huge wind suddenly blew, almost blowing them away.
The wind in the city was very strong, and the wind outside the city was even stronger. Standing at the city gate, one could clearly see the wind outside the city wreaking havoc. Wherever it went, there was destruction. “Oh no, this is a spiritual energy storm.”
“Damn it, I actually encountered a spiritual energy storm.”
“The wind outside is so terrifying. How can we return to the Freedom Region?” Gu Zhenzhen did not want to stay in the Desolate Region for a moment, but the wind outside the city was too terrifying. She could imagine that as long as she stood outside the city, she would immediately be torn apart by the wind.
Therefore, no matter how much she wanted to leave the Desolate Region, she did not dare to walk forward now. She even retreated faintly.
Why was she so unlucky to encounter a spiritual energy storm at this time?
“The spiritual energy storm in the Desolate Region is very terrifying. Even I find it very difficult to resist. I’m afraid it’ll be troublesome this time.” Just as the Gu family’s ancestor was thinking about how to deal with the spiritual energy storm, he realized that a powerful protective array had appeared in the sky of the Desolate City, resisting all the spiritual energy storms outside the city.
Seeing this scene, if he still did not understand, he would have lived for nothing.
It turned out that there was such a powerful protective array above Desolate City. Such a protective array could even resist a spirit energy storm. From this, it could be seen that if their Gu family attacked Desolate City by force, as long as this protective array was used, they would probably be helpless.
It seemed that the trump card of the Desolate Region was much more powerful than he had imagined.
“Strange, the wind in the city seems to be getting weaker and weaker, but the wind outside is still very terrifying!” Gu Zhenzhen had yet to discover the protective array. She only stared at the wind outside the city and was still thinking: Under such circumstances, can she still leave the Desolate Region?
Before long, the head of the Gu family also discovered the protective array of the Desolate City and exclaimed, “I didn’t expect the Desolate City to have such a powerful protective array. I’m afraid even the Central Continent City doesn’t have such a protective array.”
“Father, what protective array?”
“There is a huge protective array above the Desolate City that can resist the spiritual energy storm outside the city.”
“No way.” Gu Zhenzhen looked up and could vaguely see a transparent huge light barrier. Now that she knew that it was the so-called protective array, she was extremely depressed.
The more powerful the Desolate Region was, the more difficult it was to deal with. Just Xue Fanxin alone was difficult enough. Now, there was even a protective array. How infuriating.
“It looks like the Regional King appointed by the Master God is still different.” The Gu family head regretted provoking an enemy like the Desolate Region and felt uneasy.
He could tell that the ancestor would definitely take revenge on the Desolate Region, but with the Gu family’s ability, they had no way of contending with the Desolate Region.
The Gu family’s ancestor was not thinking about this now, because he had already sensed that the spiritual energy density in Desolate City was constantly becoming stronger. In other words, this was an excellent place to cultivate.
“What rich spirit energy.”
“Why has the spiritual energy in the city suddenly become so rich?”
While the Gu family was shocked, quite a few people had already seized this opportunity to quickly cultivate and constantly absorb the rich spiritual energy in the surroundings.
Before long, many people noticed that the closer they were to the King’s Estate, the richer the spiritual energy. Therefore, many people gathered in the King’s Estate. Those who had nowhere to stay cultivated on the streets.
Xue Fanxin did not react to these things for the time being and let those people cultivate on the streets.
However, such a good thing did not happen every day. Otherwise, how could her Desolate Region earn money?
