Chapter 1362: Mighty Little Tiger Head
Editor: Atlas Studios
City Lord Manor, meeting hall.
Xiahou Yi sat in the wheelchair and said nothing.
The cold wind blew in from outside, making his already sickly face turn paler.
The Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect, the Sect Master of the Flying Dagger Sect, the Sect Master of the Mount Wu Sect, and Lu Aotian stood on both sides and looked at the corpse brought back by Villa Master Qiu without saying a word.
Even his head was gone.
This way of dying… was exactly the same as the former City Lord…
Lu Aotian did not know that the fake City Lord had died. He thought that Ling Yun really did not have a father and even sympathized with this big sugar daddy.
The Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect looked at Villa Master Qiu and said, “Are you sure only three people from the Hundred Flowers Palace went? Yun Shuang and the elders didn’t appear?”
Villa Master Qiu glanced at her and said calmly, “I only saw three. Yun Lin, the descendant of the Jin family, and a puppet. The Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master was killed by the puppet.”
The Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect said in confusion, “The Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master’s martial arts are indeed not the highest, but he’s good at using poison. How can a puppet hurt him?”
This was not questioning Villa Master Qiu, but it was really unbelievable.
Lu Aotian thought to himself that one should not underestimate Cheng Xin. He couldn’t even beat her in s.n.a.t.c.hing candy.
“Where’s Sect Master Ye?”
The Sect Master of the Lotus Sect asked again.
The Lotus Sect’s status in the martial world was comparable to that of the Hidden Sword Villa and the Seven Green Sect. It was only inferior to the four major sects and far exceeded the other sects.
Today, Sect Master Ye of the Seven Green Sect had also gone to attack the Walkabout Sect.
Villa Master Qiu said, “They’re all dead. Only the leader of the Sea Sand Gang escaped, but he also lost an arm.”
He said it very calmly, but when everyone heard it, their hearts were in turmoil.
The Sect Master of the Lotus Sect asked, “Did Yun Shuang really not appear?”
Villa Master Qiu said, “In any case, I didn’t see her. When I got there, it was already too late. I thought I could save Sect Master Doro, but who knew that that puppet would leave Sect Master Doro’s head behind?”
“Where’s the Ghost Concubine?” she asked again.
Villa Owner Qiu replied to the Sect Master of the Lotus Sect, “She was saved by the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
The Sect Master of Mount Wu Sect cupped his hands and bowed to Xiahou Yi. “City Lord! The Ghost Concubine was an accomplice in killing the former City Lord. In order to save her, the Hundred Flowers Palace didn’t hesitate to slaughter the various sects! City Lord! Order the extermination of the Hundred Flowers Palace!”
Lu Aotian muttered, “d.a.m.n it, didn’t you go to kill the Walkabout Sect first?”
The Sect Master of the Flying Knife Sect asked in confusion, “But Yun Lin is the son of the former City Lord. Why would he protect the murderer of his father?”
The Sect Master of the Lotus Sect snorted and said, “This is where he has ulterior motives. The former City Lord… died strangely.”
“That’s right! On the surface, the murderer is Xiahou Jin. Perhaps Yun Lin is also involved. Recently, the two of them have been quite close . In my opinion, Yun Lin is not a small suspect!”
After Lu Aotian finished speaking righteously, everyone looked at him.
d.a.m.n it, wasn’t he loyal to the Hundred Flowers Palace in the past?
Did he really not even blink when he sold his ex-financier?
The Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect agreed and said, “What Sect Master Lu said is also what I want to say. City Lord, give the order to arrest Yun Lin. Just based on his actions today, it’s enough to send him to prison for questioning. Why don’t we inform the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, Heavenly Jade Hall, and the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance to join forces to destroy the Hundred Flowers Palace!”
Xiahou Yi said, “Everyone, go back first.”
Everyone was shocked. Wasn’t the City Lord going to destroy the Hundred Flowers Palace?
–
Hundred Flowers Palace.
Su Xiaoxiao had just treated the Ghost Concubine’s injuries and ensured she was safe. She had yet to wake up.
It was unknown if she was dizzy or asleep, but her snoring was quite loud.
She was placed in the Palace Lord’s Towering Palace.
In the afternoon, Towering Palace came up with the t.i.tle of the Calabash Twin Fiends.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What do you mean?”
Ling Yin whispered, “In the past, only the Palace Lord snored. Now that Ghost Concubine is here, she… snores!”
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. That was what she meant. Wasn’t she afraid of being silenced by Mother Palace Lord?
After leaving Towering Palace, Su Xiaoxiao went to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was also asleep.
Su Xiaoxiao had just found out that although Ling Yun’s zither kill did not require internal strength, it consumed a lot of mental strength.
An ordinary attach could be used once a day. The highest realm, the Big Zither Kill, could only be used once a month.
The three little ones ran in and drooled on their master’s face.
Seeing that their master was still unconscious, the three little ones stopped disturbing him and went to cause trouble for Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle.
There was a bloodbath on the island, but the Hundred Flowers Palace was like a paradise. The children’s carefree and innocent laughter made everyone subconsciously smile.
Xiahou Qing also felt that it was magical.
He was living in the horse shed of the Hundred Flowers Palace… The Hundred Flowers Palace was clearly in danger. Now that they were going against Xiahou Yi in public, they would probably soon welcome Xiahou Yi’s revenge.
Even so, no one brought back the bloodbath outside.
“Uncle ran away!”
Xiaohu spread his hands.
“Second Uncle is gone too.”
Erhu said.
Dahu thought for a moment. “Let’s play ourselves.”
Xiaohu snorted. “I don’t want to play with you. I want to play with my sister!”
Dahu said, “Sister is sleeping. Don’t disturb her.”
Xiaohu said, “I won’t listen to you!”
Dahu sighed. Naughty little brother.
He said to Erhu, “Erhu, let’s play.”
Erhu shook his head. “I’m going to soak my little stone in water.”
Dahu muttered, “Do you still have any regard for me?! You can’t keep a brother!”
Xiahou Qing looked at the three children, especially Erhu’s departing back, and wept.

In the meeting hall, the sect masters left, and so did Lu Aotian.
He originally wanted to stay and listen to some news, but he didn’t succeed.
However, halfway through, he saw a familiar figure coming from the direction of the City Lord’s bedroom.
“Isn’t that Xiahou Zheng? Had he been released? He just went to the former City Lord’s bedroom? Where did he go?”
Because the former City Lord’s corpse was still incomplete, the wake was not long. The body was sealed in a thousand-year-old ice coffin in the City Lord’s bedroom, and Xiahou Yi did not stay there for the time being.
Lu Aotian craned his neck to take a look.
“Sect Master Lu, what are you looking at?”
The Sect Master of the Lotus Flower Sect asked.
Lu Aotian said honestly, “I think… I saw Eldest Young Master.”
The Sect Master of the Lotus Sect said indifferently, “Eldest Young Master is innocent to begin with. He was framed by Second Young Master. This matter is already very clear. There’s no need to ask further.”
Lu Aotian said, “Got it, Sect Master Lian.”
–
“Granduncle!”
Xiahou Zheng bowed to Xiahou Yi in the wheelchair and shook his head with a solemn expression. “I’ve searched every room, but I didn’t find the City Lord Seal.”
The status of the Xiahou family’s City Lord Seal on Thousand Mountains Island was equivalent to the heirloom seal of a few countries.
Many of the sects on the island were Xiahou Yi’s own forces. Under their attacks and Xiahou Yi’s thunderous methods, more than half of the sects on the island had already joined him.
However, the four sects did not express their stance for a long time.
The main reason was that they only recognized the City Lord Seal.
Xiahou Zheng said suspiciously, “I remember that Foster Father has always carried the City Lord Seal with him. It didn’t even leave his side when he slept. Could it be…”
Xiahou Yi said, “I’ve looked. It’s not with him.”
Xiahou Zheng muttered, “Strange, where did the City Lord Seal go?”
–
In the Flying Cloud Palace of the Hundred Flower Palace.
Erhu squatted on the gra.s.s in the courtyard and soaked his small stone in water.
Erhu had learned it since Su Xiaoxiao soaked jade in the countryside.
Every once in a while, he would take out his small stones to soak them.
Today, he soaked in a small square stone that he had recently obtained. He had exchanged it with his luck-changing stone and Grandfather City Lord.
Grandfather City Lord’s had drunk too much that day.
He wanted to sober the little stone up.
There were words under the stone.
Erhu grabbed it and looked at it for a long time before shaking his head. “I don’t know them.”
