Chapter 927: Root

After investigation, Dongfang Hao found that the chaos in the city was mainly caused by those staff members.

These people took the authority he granted but did not do their job. In addition to extorting money from the people, they were also arrogant and corrupt. This is why the city is full of complaints and negative emotions.

If these people are allowed to do whatever they want, then there will be more and more negative emotions in the city, and the monsters can take the opportunity to continue to grow.

In this way, it is only a matter of time before the Tianyuan Wuchang Sealing Spirit Seal is completely broken.

At that time, Dongfang Hao will lose the last barrier and will be completely controlled by the monsters. Losing consciousness means being completely swallowed up and becoming a vassal of the monster.

So after a series of plans, Dongfang Hao finally took action.

He first arranged for the guards to attack the Wuji Sect monsters. After the guards failed to attack, Dongfang Hao took advantage of his sobriety to kill all the staff members who betrayed his trust in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, Dongfang Hao quickly cut the Gordian knot and abolished all the heavy taxes left by the staff. He also entrusted Chu Yang with the important task of rebuilding the guard team and calming the fear in the hearts of the people.

After a series of combined punches, Dongfang Hao found that although the monsters' growth rate slowed down, they were still getting stronger.

Without negative emotions such as fear and anger, other emotions can still make monsters stronger.

Monsters rely on absorbing human joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock to improve their strength, not just negative emotions.

Maybe negative emotions provide more energy to monsters, but other emotions can also make monsters stronger. As long as humans have emotions, monsters will continue to grow.

Dongfang Hao completely woke up and realized that he could not fight against monsters in the end.

Although he was a little discouraged, Dongfang Hao thought of his daughter Dongfang Ling and decided to persevere.

In order to prevent his wife's sacrifice from going in vain, Dongfang Hao spent a lot of time to delay the death. After that, Dongfang Hao arranged his own funeral while starting to plan for his daughter's future.

The first thing Dongfang Hao did was to choose a son-in-law, but later, due to some mistakes, things did not go as he wished. Until today, Dongfang Hao entrusted Dongfang Ling to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang's eyes were slightly sore when he saw this letter. Although Chu Yang was knowledgeable and had experienced the vicissitudes of life, the hard work of a kind father was still moving.

Dongfang Hao wrote a long letter, as if he wanted to explain all the ins and outs clearly. Chu Yang calmed down and continued to read on.

Because he still had many questions in his heart, he hoped to find the answers in this letter.

Chu Yang looked down and was suddenly surprised, because this letter actually recorded Qin Yi's identity.

It turned out that the first son-in-law that Dongfang Hao had taken a fancy to was Qin Yi, but Dongfang Hao had a sharp eye and soon realized that Qin Yi was a woman dressed as a man.

Not only that, Dongfang Hai also sent Yue Nu to find out her identity, and the answer she finally got was even more shocking. Qin Yi's original name was Qin Yuqing, and she was a real woman. Moreover, Qin Yi's identity was not simple either. She was actually the mayor of Fengtian City!

When the letter came to this point, Chu Yang opened his mouth in surprise. He had never thought that Qin Yi was actually a woman.

Chu Yang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Yi. His eyes were fixed on Qin Yi, and the more he looked, the more shocked he was. It turned out that there were many details that he hadn't noticed before.

"What are you looking at!"

Qin Yi had a keen sense of consciousness and was also paying attention to the content of the letter just now. When he found that his identity was revealed, Chu Yang was still looking at him with such a naked look. He immediately groaned in shame and anger, and his fair cheeks were stained with a little blush.

If it was before, Chu Yang would definitely get goose bumps when he saw him like this, thinking that Qin Yi, a grown man, would actually act like a girl.

But now it was different. Knowing that Qin Yi was not only a woman, but also of noble status, Chu Yang's feeling changed completely. His eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hurry up and read on. Dongfang City Lord has something else to tell you later."

Qin Yi's identity was exposed, so she simply used her true voice and spoke softly.

Yue Nu, who was standing aside, remained silent. She looked at Chu Yang and then at Qin Yi, with a sigh on her face.

After all, as a woman, she still had some understanding of Qin Yi's subtle expressions, but some things could not be said for the time being.

Seeing the two people in such a state, Yue Nu reminded them meaningfully: "Chu Yang, don't forget the city lord's instructions. He entrusted his daughter to you!"

"I know."

Chu Yang nodded and continued to read the letter.

The following content is the changes in the monsters in Dongfang Hao's body during his last retreat.

According to the records in this letter, Dongfang Hao felt that he could no longer suppress the demon, and the demon often penetrated the seal and affected his mind.

In desperation, Dongfang Hao could only use the formation to trap himself in the place of retreat, and his body could not control the leakage of demonic energy to the outside of the body, which was unprecedented before.

Although he knew that the end was approaching, Dongfang Hao still made a lot of efforts. As a city lord, he did not want to cause harm to the people in this city after his death.

Moreover, Dongfang Hao was certain that after his death, the monster would definitely find its next host. In order to prevent the monster from continuing to harm people, Dongfang Hao worked hard to find a way to permanently seal the monster in his body.

He planned to use his own death to end the monster's life so that others would not suffer.

Moreover, in the subsequent plan, Dongfang Hao felt that it would be difficult for him to complete the seal on his own, so he intentionally or unintentionally involved Qin Yi.

His plan is to use Qin Yi's power to help him seal the monster.

There is not much explanation of what happened next in this letter. After all, this letter was written while Dongfang Hao was in retreat, and Chu Yang also roughly understood what happened next.

Dongfang Hao was unable to suppress the monsters and was unable to escape for a long time. In the end, everything got out of control, but this may all be part of Dongfang Hao's plan.

However, Dongfang Hao's prediction was wrong. In the end, it was not Qin Yi who helped him suppress the monsters, but Chu Yang, who he felt was not strong enough.

I don't know if Dongfang Hao had thought about this matter before he died. To his surprise, Chu Yang played a huge role in it.

"Dongfang City Lord finally used his life to temporarily seal the monster, but you also helped a lot. Your formation is very powerful and plays a great role in restraining the monster. Without your help, he might have failed in the end."

Qin Yi's face was full of emotion.

"After all, I am a man. Of course, a man must take responsibility. Just like the Lord of Dongfang City, he is a great hero and a man."

Chu Yang also admired Dongfang Hao. Such a person deserves respect.
