"But I'm not dead yet, which means Wushuang Scholar is not dead either."
"Or will the contract with heaven become invalid after he leaves this world?"
Yun Cong was pacing and mumbling.
Various speculations flashed through his mind, but Yun Cong did not dare to make a decision easily.
After all, if he makes a wrong choice, death will be waiting for him.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped and felt an invisible force restraining him in place.
"What, what's going on!"
Yun Cong screamed and looked around nervously.
In fact, he discovered something strange today, that is, the light on the ancient jade in the cave actually dissipated.
After the light dissipated, what was revealed was an extremely dark and dull jade.
Moreover, the black color on the ancient jade is also turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yun Cong didn't pay much attention to such anomalies. After all, his life was the most important thing.
But now that such a change suddenly occurred in the cave, Yun Cong had to feel vigilant in his heart.
Just as Yun Cong was staring nervously at the ancient jade, a dazzling light suddenly flashed from the ancient jade.
After the intense bright light, two figures appeared in front of Yun Cong.
At the same time, the power that restrained him in the cave suddenly disappeared.
"Ahem, welcome the Lord back!"
Yun Cong saw that after the light dissipated, it was Zhang Yifeng and Lu Shuang who appeared in front of him, and he quickly knelt on the ground.
"It's okay, get up."
Lu Shuang took a deep look at Yun Cong, thinking that he would see him staying in the cave faithfully in the Qinghuang Realm, so he raised his hand to signal him to stand up.
"Many, thank you Lord!"
Yun Cong had a look of fear on his face, he quickly stood up and lowered his head uneasily.
Although he waited until Lu Shuang returned, he didn't know if the Lord was willing to forgive his betrayal.
After all, with the character of an unparalleled scholar, no matter how loyal he behaves, he may not be able to escape death.
"Please, Lord, punish me!"
In the end, Yun Cong bit the bullet and apologized to Lu Shuang with his head lowered.
Rather than die without realizing it, Yun Cong wanted to die directly at the hands of the Lord, which would reduce a little pain.
Lu Shuang snorted coldly when he heard this, and a ball of golden light brewed in his palm.
Zhang Yifeng looked on without saying anything.
Yun Cong, on the other hand, lowered his head, his whole body trembling slightly unconsciously, and a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
However, the golden light in Lu Shuang's palms condensed for a long time, but was not released in the end.
"As long as you fulfill your duties and wait here, the death penalty will be avoided."
"But it is true that you betrayed me, so you will never escape your guilt. From now on, you will stay in Wushuang City and be the city lord for the rest of your life."
Lu Shuang said coldly and dispersed the golden light in his palm.
"Lord, Lord, won't you kill me?"
When Yun Cong heard Lu Shuang's words, he suddenly felt dizzy in his head and asked tremblingly.
"Have you not heard what I said clearly, or are you planning to die to apologize?"
Lu Shuang glanced at him coldly and said in a cold voice.
"No, my subordinates will definitely fulfill their duties faithfully in Wushuang City and fight to the death for their master!"
After Yun Cong received the exact answer, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
"Ah."
Lu Shuang just sneered when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the ancient jade that had turned into pure white.
"It seems that as the Immortal Emperor's malice dissipated, this ancient jade has also returned to normal."
Zhang Yifeng was also observing the ancient treasure jade and expressed his opinions in a low voice.
Not only the core, but now even the body of the ancient gem has changed, it can be seen.
The Immortal Emperor had maliciously said before that this was the original appearance of the ancient jade.
It was only after being infected by the Immortal Emperor's malice that it was gradually dyed into the ultimate black color that represented malice.
Now that the Immortal Emperor's evil intentions have dissipated, the ancient jade has naturally returned to its original state.
"Why, do you still plan to continue using this thing?"
Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Shuang.
"No, I have no memory of the past at all. I am just considering whether to destroy this thing now."
Lu Shuang shook his head and replied in a deep voice.
"This ancient gem was created by the Immortal Emperor. It doesn't matter whether we can destroy it or not."
"Even if it is destroyed, the energy erupted from it is enough to swallow us and everything around us."
"Let's leave it here for now."
Zhang Yifeng shook his head, and then a ball of spiritual light flew out of his palm and landed on the ancient jade.
The spiritual light quickly settled down, and after a burst of light flashed, the ancient gem disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Lu Shuang immediately took action with Zhang Yifeng to set up a formation around Taikoo Baoyu.
If someone enters this cave again, it will take a lot of effort to use the formation that the two of them jointly set up.
Once someone starts to break the formation, the two of them will immediately notice it and come to stop it in time.
Yun Cong on the side watched the actions of the two people and couldn't help but swallowed.
"Fellow Taoist Yun Cong, you finally got a chance to live, but you must not let it go casually."
Suddenly, Zhang Yifeng came to Yun Cong's side, patted his shoulder and said sincerely.
"Don't worry, Lord Killer, I will definitely cherish this opportunity!"
Yun Cong shook his body and quickly lowered his head to reassure himself.
"Don't worry, as long as you focus on benefiting the people in Wushuang City, fellow Taoist Wushuang will not do anything to you."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled lightly when he saw this, and released the palm that was holding his shoulders.
Seeing this, Yun Cong quickly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, with a look of rejoicing that he had survived the disaster.
"After I return to Wushuang Palace, I will immediately send someone to support you."
"As long as you are alive, it is your only responsibility to take good care of Wushuang City and this secret realm."
"If you can't even do this little thing well, there's no need for you to keep your life!"
Lu Shuang put one hand behind his back and told Yun Cong in a cold voice.
"Don't worry, Lord, if anyone wants to break into this secret realm, they must step on my body first!"
Yun Cong quickly straightened his back and said in a solemn voice.
Seeing Yun Cong's repeated assurances, Lu Shuang's expression returned to indifference.
Afterwards, the three of them made many arrangements in the cave again before returning along the way and leaving the secret realm.
As soon as he walked out of the secret realm, Yun Cong stood there stunned.
Next to the entrance of the secret realm, there was already a mountain of envelopes piled up.
"What are these?"
Zhang Yifeng looked down, frowned at the mountain of envelopes, then turned to Yun Cong and asked.
"Reporting to Lord Killer, this is something specially used by the City Lord's Mansion to convey messages."
"It should contain urgent reports sent to me by the civil servants in the city lord's palace."
Yun Cong's body trembled slightly as he picked up an envelope from the ground.
