Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Qin Yi signaling to him, he quickly walked to Dongfang Hao. He knew that Dongfang Hao should be giving his last words at this time!

Life is changing, and fortunes and misfortunes are unpredictable. No one would have thought that the once glorious Lord of Dongfang City would be in the sunset stage of his life...

At this time, the formation had been removed and the lightning had long since dissipated. Dongfang Hao was able to stay awake solely by relying on his own strong willpower.

Dongfang Hao's cheeks were filled with blue-black death energy, his eyes were dim, and the breath of life was like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at any time.

Chu Yang took out a pill and wanted to help Dongfang Hao, but he shook his head to stop him.

"City Lord, what happened?"

Chu Yang really wanted to know where this monster came from from Dongfang Hao.

Dongfang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't have much time... Some things will have answers sooner or later..."

Seeing Dongfang Hao's weak look, Chu Yang knew not to force him, so he could only watch quietly.

"Chu Yang, I want you to promise me something. You must do it."

Dongfang Hao seemed to have regained consciousness, and suddenly he became energetic, and even his cloudy eyes became brighter.

"City Lord, please tell me. If this junior can do something, I will never refuse."

Chu Yang said slowly but firmly.

"Okay, remember what you said! I have entrusted Ling'er to you today, and you must protect her, otherwise I will die with my eyes open!"

Dongfang Hao suddenly used all his strength to pull the hands of Chu Yang and Dongfang Ling together, his eyes fixed on Chu Yang, and his lips trembled slightly.

"father……"

Dongfang Ling finally couldn't restrain her emotions and burst into tears.

Chu Yang was a little stunned, and involuntarily turned his head to look at Qin Yi. He saw Qin Yi looking at him sternly, as if not agreeing would be a sign of anger for both humans and gods.

"Don't worry, City Lord, Qin Yi and I will definitely take good care of her."

Chu Yang sighed and finally agreed.

Hearing Chu Yang's promise, Dongfang Hao's eyes seemed to show a look of relief. Then he looked at his daughter Dongfang Ling, and his eyes full of nostalgia began to fade away.

"Ling'er..."

Dongfang Hao made a hissing sound in his throat, as if he wanted to say something to Dongfang Ling, but unfortunately his eyes gradually dimmed, and then the breath of life completely disappeared.

The tragic ending of a generation of heroes...

"Dad, I don't want him. I just want you. I want you to take care of me all my life."

Dongfang Ling burst into tears and shook Dongfang Hao's arm vigorously, trying to pull her father back from another world. Unfortunately, Dongfang Hao could no longer respond.

Chu Yang's face was solemn, while Qin Yi's eyes were wandering. He didn't know what he was thinking about. Only Dongfang Ling was crying heartbreakingly, as if he wanted to shed a lifetime of tears.

At this moment, a stream of light flew over from a distance.

Qin Yi and Chu Yang discovered the situation at the same time and immediately became alert.

The light fell to the ground, revealing the figure of a woman. Chu Yang and Qin Yi were both a little surprised when they saw the face of the visitor.

"You two gentlemen, you are polite to me."

The visitor turned out to be Yue Nu, the female shopkeeper of Wangjiang Tower.

It was indeed a bit strange for this woman to come to this place at this time. Qin Yi frowned slightly and said, "Shop Manager Yue, what's the matter?"

Yue Nu shook her head and turned to look at Dongfang Hao and his daughter, with a sad look on her face. Then she reached out and took out a letter from her sleeves and handed it over with both hands.

"What's this?"

Qin Yi reached out to take the envelope and found that there was no signature on it. He didn't know who had left it.

"The Lord of the City knew that this day would come a long time ago, so he wrote this letter and entrusted it to me for safekeeping a few months ago. He said that if he had any trouble one day, he would give this letter to Mr. Qin. I read it today. Come, it’s time to deliver this letter.”

Yue Nu's tone was full of emotion and sorrow, and it seemed that she couldn't let go of Dongfang Hao's death.

Qin Yi had a look of surprise on his face and glanced at Chu Yang. He didn't know why Dongfang Hao wrote to him, and it was a few months ago.

Taking out the letter from the envelope, Qin Yi looked at it intently. The expression on his face changed and became more and more shocking.

"What exactly does this letter record?"

Chu Yang was very curious. He wanted to know what Dongfang Hao said to Qin Yi that shocked the usually calm Qin Yi so much.

"All the riddles have answers. He didn't say anything just now. It turns out he had already made arrangements."

Qin Yi looked away from the letter with a sigh on his face.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yi handed the letter directly to Chu Yang and said calmly: "Take a look."

Chu Yang hurriedly reached out to take it and looked at the contents carefully. He couldn't help but be shocked at first glance.

It turned out that a few years ago, a mysterious and powerful person visited Dongfang Hao. This person used the excuse to visit, but in fact he had evil intentions and secretly planted a "demon seed" for Dongfang Hao.

This person's methods were extremely secretive. Although Dongfang Hao was aware of it at the time, he was unable to detect any abnormalities. It was not until a few months later that the demon seeds in his body took root and sprouted, gradually beginning to affect his mind.

The first person to notice the abnormality was Dongfang Hao's wife Liu Ying. During that period, Dongfang Hao was in a bad mood and often got angry for no apparent reason. This was definitely not normal for a high-level practitioner.

After being reminded by his wife Liu Ying, Dongfang Hao woke up as if from a dream, carefully examined his body, and almost exhausted all methods before finally identifying the monster parasitic in his body.

Recalling all the details, Dongfang Hao determined that the origin of this monster was most likely the mysterious visitor.

When Dongfang Hao communicated with the mysterious guest, he used his spiritual sense to check the other party's cultivation, but the other party was extremely alert and actually intercepted the spiritual sense directly with a mysterious power.

And when Dongfang Hao took back his spiritual sense, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't detect it at the time. It seemed that something was attached to his spiritual sense.

At that time, I remember that the mysterious man hurriedly said goodbye. When he left, the other party's expression was very strange. Now it seems that it was an expression of conspiracy.

Since then, the other party has started the road to fight against monsters. He read countless ancient books just to find a way to fight, but unfortunately the monster was deeply rooted and could not be removed at all.

As his emotions got out of control, his abnormal behavior increased day by day. Later, he actually had a bloodthirsty impulse in his heart.

Whenever this impulse could not be controlled, Dongfang Hao would sneak out of the city and go to the surrounding areas of Lanjiang City to slaughter some beasts. This method calmed the bloodthirsty impulse in his body a little.

But this was just a temporary solution. Through killing, the demons in his body attacked more and more frequently, and each time they became more and more intense.

Liu Ying naturally saw Dongfang Hao's situation. She knew very well that her husband Dongfang Hao might not be able to escape.
