“You mean…”
Jiang He glanced at Jiang Ran and said, “Contact them and launch an attack on the city. With our inside and outside cooperation, this small low-level city is as good as ours with a snap of fingers!”
At the same time, at the city gate of Yicheng Base City.
Mo Xiao slowly stepped into the city gate.
Looking at this bustling city, he felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort in his heart.
“It seems staying in the secret realm instance for too long isn’t good either. I feel uneasy returning to the city.”
Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao entered the base city.
At the city gate, two soldiers watched Mo Xiao enter the base city and were stunned for a moment. “Hey, isn’t he Mo Xiao?”
“Um… Looks like him.”
“What are you waiting for? Hurry and inform the City Lord!”
“Oh, right, right!”
Once they realized, one of them rushed out and headed straight for the City Lord’s Residence.
Not long after, in the City Lord’s Residence.
“Old Fang, how is it? Is there any news about Mo Xiao?” Jiang Shan looked at Fang Chang and asked.
Fang Chang raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Shan. He shook his head and said, “No, this kid hasn’t returned yet. Don’t be anxious. His family is here, so he will come back eventually.”
“How can 1 not be anxious? That young lady at home is tormenting me to death! If that kid doesn’t come back soon, I’ll be skinned alive even if I don’t die!” Jiang Shan glared at Fang Chang and said angrily.
Hearing this, Fang Chang sighed helplessly. “What can we do? Who asked you to send him out back then?”
Just as Jiang Shan sat dejectedly in his seat, the main door suddenly slammed open.
“City Lord!”
Seeing this, Fang Chang frowned. “What’s the rush? Can’t you knock? Don’t you treat me as the City Lord anymore?!”
“Yes, I’m sorry, City Lord. 1 saw Mo Xiao at the city gate just now!” The soldier didn’t waste time with pleasantries and quickly reported.
“Mo Xiao!”
Hearing this name, Jiang Shan seemingly teleported to the soldier’s side. “Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? It’s really Mo Xiao?!”
“Yes! It’s definitely him! I’ve seen him before!” The soldier hurriedly nodded.
“Where did he go? Bring me to him!” Jiang Shan said excitedly.
The soldier was taken aback by the question and said, “Uh… I don’t know where he went, but he just entered the city. He shouldn’t have gone far, probably back to his home.”
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shan disappeared in an instant, leaving the City Lord’s Residence.
The soldier:”…”
Fang Chang:”…”
“Alright, you can leave first. You did well this time. I’ll give you a bonus another day.” Fang Chang glanced at the soldier and waved his hand.
“Thank you, City Lord!”
When the soldier heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly left the City Lord’s Residence.
“Jiang Shan, 1 hope you don’t go too far…” Fang Chang sighed softly. In the end, he couldn’t sit still and walked out of the City Lord Residence.
At the same time, on the street outside Mo Xiao’s house.
“I haven’t been back in a long time, but this place is still so dilapidated-” Mo Xiao quietly looked at the cheap house he had lived in.
He vaguely remembered that he wanted to change houses, but he had yet to do so.
Just as Mo Xiao was about to go upstairs, his expression suddenly changed.
At some point, the Four Symbols Heavy Sword had appeared in his hand, and then he suddenly tilted it.
In the next moment, a figure was sent flying.
“F*ck! Did you attack directly?!”
Accompanied by a curse, a figure fell to the ground, rubbing his butt in pain.
Looking at this figure, Mo Xiao was also stunned. “Jiang Shan?”
“Call me Hall Master!” Jiang Shan rubbed his butt and stood up with an ugly expression.
“Oh, Hall Master Jiang Shan, may I ask why you’re in such a hurry to find me?”
“You still have the cheek to ask!”
As Jiang Shan spoke, he rushed in front of Mo Xiao and grabbed his collar. “Didn’t I tell you to protect Jiang He when I asked her to follow you? Didn’t you promise me?”
“Yes.”
Mo Xiao nodded very calmly. Without waiting for Jiang Shan to continue questioning, he said, “If you’re here to denounce me, you can go back directly. I don’t think I did anything wrong.”
“What did you say!” When Jiang Shan heard this, he wished he could kick Mo Xiao to death.
“Did Jiang He tell you what happened?” Mo Xiao suddenly asked, “She should have directly told you an illusion, right?”
“What do you mean?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan instantly frowned.
“Don’t you feel Jiang He is different from before?” Mo Xiao said very calmly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan immediately fell silent.
He was the uncle who had the best relationship with Jiang He, so he could naturally sense the change in her.
However, he subconsciously treated this as a change after her heartbreak over Mo Xiao, so he didn’t think too much about it.
“In that situation, she ignored my attempts to stop her and insisted on saving a monster, which resulted in her being controlled by the monster.” Mo Xiao continued, “In such a situation, to minimize the losses, I had no choice but to take action and kill her.”

Jiang Shan fell silent again. As someone who had been on the battlefield, if faced with such a situation, the best solution would be to kill that person and deal with the rest later.
“Didn’t you notice anything different about Jiang He during these days? Hasn’t she been tormenting you?” Mo Xiao smiled faintly. “Do you think she asked your Jiang family to come after me?”
“You should know that, given Jiang He’s previous character, if she knew she wouldn’t die and that I hadn’t done anything wrong, would she persistently come after me like this?”
“I don’t think so.” Jiang Shan took a deep breath and shook his head.
“So, do you understand now?” Mo Xiao asked.
“Are you saying the current Jiang He isn’t the real Jiang He?” Jiang Shan asked with a serious expression.
“She is Jiang He, but her body seems to be controlled by something.” Mo Xiao said calmly. “It seems none of you have noticed.”
“How could we possibly notice such a thing! Since you had this information, why didn’t you come back earlier?” Jiang Shan’s anxiety intensified.
“Because coming back wouldn’t have changed anything. This matter requires time to settle. If I had returned immediately, you might have followed Jiang He’s thinking and attacked me in anger, and then I might really have lost my life,” Mo Xiao sneered.
“I’m not from a prominent family; I’m just an ordinary person.. Killing me would be a piece of cake for you guys, isn’t that right? How can I be compared to your prestigious families?”
