Chapter 257 Slaughter from Above
In just a moment, the burly men who had been able to put up a fight were completely routed, and the situation changed dramatically.
In the end, seven or eight strong men were hacked to death!
Blood flowed freely on the north street of Tianyun City—the stench of blood filled the air!
"Good, good! Long live the city lord!"
"Long live the City Lord!"
The people shouted in unison.
However, Sheng Yang frowned at this moment. These people were of unknown origin, and they claimed to be from the upper realm.
Could it really be from the upper realm?
Thinking of this, Sheng Yang frowned. After parting ways with Jun Liuyue, he devoted himself to recruiting soldiers and rebuilding Tianyun City.
They have no idea what's happening in the outside world right now.
If these people really are from the Upper Realm, then Wentian Academy is definitely in trouble!
Back to the city lord's mansion.
"Little Demon, I have to go to Wentian Academy."
Sheng Yang's expression was solemn.
Xiao Yao rarely saw her brother with such an expression. She nodded and said, "Alright, you can rest assured that Tianyun City is in my hands!"
"Okay." Sheng Yang reached out and patted Xiao Yao's head. "Wait for me to come back."

At this time, many cities on the Canglan Continent were flooded with strong men similar to those in Tianyun City. These strong men were tattooed and their origins were unknown. They were cruel and brutal!
They seized cities and plundered territories.
Countless casualties!
Meanwhile, countless demons emerged from the Wuwang Mountains, slaughtering the disciples undergoing training! Some disciples infected by the demonic poison were turned into walking corpses.
The entire continent has been reduced to a hellish inferno! This is the first time the emperors of various countries have witnessed such a scene; even seventeen years ago, they had never seen so many demons and monsters!
Some landlocked countries have only heard of the demons and monsters, but have never actually seen one.
Now that's great! We can see each other up close every day and even have some intimate contact from time to time.
"Hahaha!"
Inside the Fengning Palace.
Nalan Yao laughed loudly: "Retribution, retribution has come! Feng Chenlan, you are not the one who cares most about the people of Qinglong Kingdom. Now that Canglan is in chaos... those lowly people you care about probably won't live much longer."
Nalan Yao burst into maniacal laughter, booming loudly—!
Just then, a flash of green light streaked across her eyes. The guards stationed at Fengning Palace looked up and saw a green dragon coiled in mid-air, its massive head poised above Fengning Palace.
The guard was so frightened that his knees buckled, and he quickly grabbed a stone pillar next to him, almost falling to his knees.
The Azure Dragon swept past them, its target not being these lowly minions. Before the guards could even breathe a sigh of relief...
Boom! The Azure Dragon's tail swept across, and the roof of Fengning Palace collapsed with a crash. Nalan Yao, who was in the courtyard, looked up and saw a pile of rubble flying towards her.
"Ah!" Nalan Yao suddenly stood up, staggering backward. A warm breath blew out beside her, and Nalan Yao's whole body stiffened. She turned her head to look.
The dragon's whiskers brushed against her face, and a huge dragon's head came into close contact with her.
"what!"
Nalan Yao cried out in surprise, twisting her body and retreating backward, clenching her fists tightly.
The Azure Dragon closed in step by step, cornering Nalan Yao against the wall.
"Come on, come on!"
Nalan Yao cried out in alarm. Her back was pressed against the cold wall. Her cultivation was sealed, and she could not use her spiritual power. She didn't even have a chance to escape.
With a hiss, the Azure Dragon flashed with azure light, and a figure in emerald green entered Nalan Yao's field of vision.
Long Li's face is seven or eight parts similar to Nalan Yao's, but the difference is that half of her face is covered with shimmering dragon patterns.
She could not fully transform into human form; her legs remained a dragon's tail, making her half-human, half-demon.
"Long Li!"
Nalan Yao's body, which was pressed against the wall, shuddered and slowly slid down, leaving scratches on her back against the rough wall, which stung painfully.
But what Nalan Yao saw shocked her even more: this face... belonged to Long Li.
"I didn't expect you to still remember me." Long Li sneered, looking down at Nalan Yao.
"I...of course I remember you..." Nalan Yao's face was pale. Why wasn't Long Li dead! Didn't that old bastard Qingyue say that Long Li was dead beyond any doubt?
But why did she turn into a blue dragon?! And why is she still alive?
Before she could think, a heavy blow sent Nalan Yao flying.
"No, don't kill me." The moment she hit the ground, her strong will to survive made Nalan Yao get up.
She was in a sorry state, her hairpins scattered, and she scrambled to her feet, trying to run outside.
But Long Li had already seen through her thoughts. Bang! The stone bench flew up and crashed in front of Nalan Yao, hitting her foot.
He painfully pulled his foot back, fell to the ground, and curled up in a ball.
“No matter what, we were once one, you can’t kill me—” Nalan Yao tried to awaken a sliver of kindness in Long Li.
*Pfft!* Long Li's palm pierced through Nalan Yao's chest, and she coughed up blood.
At this moment, Nalan Yao heard a flurry of footsteps; it was Feng Chenlan and the others!
Not long after.
The group approached, led by Feng Chenlan, followed by General Nalan and Nalan Cheng.
Upon seeing Long Li, General Nalan was moved to tears, and Feng Chenlan stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Ah Li, Ah Li isn't dead..."
General Nalan stood frozen in place, his aged body stiff. Seventeen years had passed! Countless times, those scenes flashed through his mind.
He deeply regretted believing Qingyue's words; if he hadn't believed Qingyue...
Ah Li won't die!
"Ah Li isn't dead, she's not dead—"
“Ah Li.”
Feng Chenlan stepped forward, completely ignoring the woman lying on the ground, barely alive.
Seeing that Feng Chenlan's heart and eyes were full of Long Li, Nalan Yao was extremely jealous and felt a pang of jealousy.
Why--
Over the years, Feng Chenlan had never looked at her like that.
“If you are doing this to plead for mercy, I will not let Nalan Yao go.”
Long Li said coldly, completely ignoring the Nalan family father and son.
These words were spoken to Feng Chenlan.
"No, you're taking her life. She should have died seventeen years ago."
The reason Feng Chenlan tolerated Nalan Yao for so many years was that he thought that one day... if A Li returned, he might still be able to use Nalan Yao's body.
But if it's no longer needed, then so be it if I die.
Nalan Yao's last remaining purpose was her physical body, but now—Nalan Yao's body is of no use to Long Li, so let her die.
"Feng Chenlan, we've been husband and wife for so many years, how can you be so heartless—!"
Nalan Yao thought that Feng Chenlan would at least remember their deep affection as husband and wife and protect her life.
This is the Azure Dragon Palace. As long as Feng Chenlan speaks, Long Li won't be able to take her life.
But Feng Chenlan gave up on her without even thinking about it...
He gave up on her so easily...
*Thud!* Long Li used his spiritual power to control the sword on the ground, plunging it fiercely into Nalan Yao's chest.
Blood spilled from Nalan Yao's mouth as she glared at Long Li with hatred: "Long Li, you bitch, even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!"
Long Li looked calmly at Nalan Yao on the ground, and turned to leave the moment she breathed her last.
"Ali!"
General Nalan finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, his aged body trembling as he hoped that Long Li would glance at him.
But Long Li only paused for a moment before transforming into a dragon and disappearing into the horizon.
"She... still refuses to forgive me."
The moment Long Li disappeared, General Nalan collapsed to the ground, only to be caught by Nalan Cheng in time.
He had probably already collapsed to the ground, his cloudy eyes filled with regret and shame.
