If the brain is damaged, then its perception is useless.

Unfortunately, Lin Zheyu is unwilling to join the Xing Family. If he is forced, even if poison is used to restrain him after training him to the Qi Blood Realm, it would be useless and only cause backlash.

Poison can only restrain those who fear death.

"Grandfather, should I send people to capture his friends, and then..." the young man said.

"No need, they are just some small figures," the elder said faintly.

...

After leaving the tavern, Lin Zheyu had a cold expression.

The Xing Family was becoming more and more reckless.

"Find an opportunity to kill that old guy!"

Lin Zheyu's heart was ruthless. He didn't like being threatened or watched.

With his Qi Blood Two Transformations strength and the ability to conceal his breath with the Turtle Breath Skill, it was still easy to kill some people.

Only with more deaths and chaos in the Xing Family would they stop constantly eyeing him.

"Huff..."

"Huff huff..."

Just as he stepped out of the tavern, Lin Zheyu saw Xu Qinyi panting and running over.

Beside him was a middle-aged man, whose aura was very strong, reaching the level of Qi Blood Gauze.

"I'm so glad you're fine. That old guy didn't do anything to you, did he?" Xu Qinyi asked.

When Lin Zheyu left with the servant, he had a Feihong Gang member notify Mr. Xu on the way.

He was worried the Xing Family would tear off their facade and target him in the city.

"I'm fine. That old guy threatened me with my friends and wanted me to join the Xing Family to serve them." Lin Zheyu shook his head and said.

"The Xing Family is becoming more and more reckless!"

Xu Qinyi said with an ugly expression.

The middle-aged man beside him also had an unkind look on his face.

The middle-aged man looked up at the second floor of the tavern, where the elder from the Xing Family was sticking his head out of the window, smiling at them.

The young man next to the elder even waved at Lin Zheyu, looking at him with a sneer.

"Let's go, we'll talk later." Xu Qinyi said.

The three of them left the tavern and went to the Funing Garden.

The middle-aged man left after seeing that Lin Zheyu was okay, leaving only Lin Zheyu and Xu Qinyi.

"Didn't they say the Xing Family wouldn't dare to act recklessly in Songyi City?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"The situation is a bit bad. I suspect the City Lord is no longer in the city, and Songyi City is about to be in chaos!" Xu Qinyi said with a frown.

Although ordinary people like Lin Zheyu didn't feel much, these days, there was an undercurrent among the major families in Songyi City, with quite a few casualties.

Several territories outside the city had experienced many skirmishes among the families, but it hadn't reached the point of open conflict.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Zheyu asked in confusion.

The City Lord was considered the key to maintaining the current situation in Songyi City.

The Xing Family, as the most powerful family in Songyi City, controlled a third of the city guard. Without the City Lord to suppress them, the Xing Family would have long been dominant in Songyi City.

"The front-line situation is very bad, worse than imagined. Although many troops have been dispatched to support in the past two months, they still can't stop the rebel army's advance."

"Yesterday we received the latest intel: the rebel army has already reached outside Baohe City."

"The intel takes time to relay. It's possible that Baohe City has already been breached by the rebel army." Xu Qinyi said with a difficult expression.

When they received the latest intel yesterday, they were shocked by how quickly things had progressed.

"So fast!"

Lin Zheyu was startled.

He thought that with so many troops supporting, the front-line situation would be stabilized, but he didn't expect it would have reached Baohe City.

The Lu siblings, who contributed the first large amount of money to him, were from Baohe City.

Baohe City wasn't far from Songyi City, with just two cities in between.

If Baohe City was breached, given the rebel army's speed, Songyi City would soon be next.

"Yes, it's incredibly fast, like sweeping away dead wood."

Xu Qinyi said with some lament.

The Great Wei had been strong for hundreds of years, and they had all grown used to its might. Previously, they all thought that after the New Year, when the army was mobilized for support, the situation would be stabilized.

They didn't expect that facing the rebel army, the Great Wei Army would be so vulnerable.

"You mean the City Lord went to the front line to support?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Very likely."

"I heard from my father that many experts have emerged within the rebel army. The front line, despite having numbers, lacks top-level experts."

"Even relying on military formations, they still can't make up for the difference in top-level experts. That's why the defeat was so swift."

"The Xing Family has done many things secretly, using the Nine Nether Sect to test the City Lord's bottom line, but the City Lord has not reacted."

"My father and the others began to speculate that the City Lord is no longer in Songyi City." Xu Qinyi said.

He only understood many things after listening to Xu Jingwu's explanation.

The reason why the Nine Nether Sect could develop steadily in Lion Valley and recruit refugees everywhere was that the City Lord couldn't leave and had no time to handle it.

Otherwise, given the Great Wei's hatred for other Demon God Sect factions, the Nine Nether Sect would have faced disaster as soon as they emerged.

"If that's the case, then we need to consider leaving Songyi City quickly." Lin Zheyu said with a frown.

He had been quite comfortable here, originally thinking he could stay until he achieved the Golden Swan Skill Eighth Layer Perfection, reached the level of Qi Blood Four Transformations, and then leave Songyi City.

But the rebel army broke this plan.

"My father and the others are already preparing to leave Songyi City, planning to move in batches to Bafang City within a month."
