The news spread with the wind, and it didnât take long for the entire Black Iron City to know.
In an instant, Black Iron City was in an uproar.
Black Iron City, Shengâan Hospital.
âThe City Lord Mansion has been destroyed?â
A young manâs slightly handsome face was filled with extreme fear.
The young man was none other than the young city lord of Black Iron City, Xu Nan.
âWhat should I do? What should 1 do?â
Xu Nanâs voice trembled violently.
He felt extremely regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would not have provoked Ye Li even if he was given a hundred guts. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
âYou donât have to be afraid.â
Suddenly, a voice entered Xu Nanâs ears.
âThe City Lord Mansion has been destroyed, and my father is dead. How can 1 notâ¦â
Before Xu Nan could finish his sentence, his pupils constricted rapidly.
A man appeared in the ward.
âYou, you, youâ¦â
Xu Nan looked at the person in front of him, so frightened that his soul almost left his body.
âWhy are you afraid again?â Ye Li looked at Xu Nan and asked calmly.
âI-I-Iâ¦â
How could Xu Nan still be able to say a complete sentence? His slightly handsome face was as afraid as it could be.
Ye Li looked at the frightened expression on Xu Nanâs face and said calmly,
âI think you should know that the dead are never afraid.â
When Xu Nan heard this, tears instantly flowed down his face.
âDonât kill me. Donât kill me.â
As the saying went, men didnât cry easily, only because he had yet to reach the depth of his sorrow.
Anyone could tell that Xu Nanâs desire to live was extremely strong.
âDonât kill you?â
The corners of Ye Liâs lips curled up slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his handsome face.
âIf I, Ye Li, am just an ordinary person, will you let me off when 1 offend you? Will you give me a chance to live?â
As soon as he finished speaking, a shocking bloody hole appeared on Xu Nanâs forehead.
âIsnât this a little too cruel?â
Outside the ward, Qing Ruo muttered softly.
Just as Qing Zhu was about to speak, Ye Li pushed open the door and said,
âIâm not being cruel. Today, Iâll teach you a principle. If you cut the grass, remember to remove the roots.â
Qing Zhu and Qing Ruo were stunned. If you cut the grass, remember to remove the roots?
Ye Li, Qing Zhu, and Qing Ruo stayed in Black Iron City for a few days.
Everyone was extremely scared when they saw them.
On this day, the clouds did not move, and the wind did not blow.
Dark clouds suddenly covered the sky above Black Iron City.
Ye Li and the rest were living in the City Lord Mansion when an old man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Li.
This old man was around 70 years old. He was dressed in tattered clothes, had black and white hair, and looked so sickly as if he only had a few days left to live.
âGrandpa, whatâs wrong with you?â
Qing Ruo said anxiously.
âLittle girl, I have a worry in my heart..â The old man pretended to be mysterious.
A worry in my heart?
Qing Zhu and Qing Ruo were stunned.
Ye Li was amused. He thought that this old man was interesting. A worry in his heart?
Wait!
He suddenly realized that this old man did not have the aura of a human. Could it beâ¦
Demons?
Ye Li knew that there were demons in the Eastern Land.
As the saying goes, donât judge a book by its cover.
âOld man, what do you want?â Ye Li looked at the old man calmly.
The old man smiled slowly. âDemon King Ye Li, of course Iâm here for you.â
âFor me?â
Ye Li didnât understand.. âWhy did you come for me?â
