Chapter 741 - 305: Dawn Joins In!!

The City Lord looked at Jiang Wei, a face that was young yet weathered.

At this moment, his eyes unusually lacked the indifference of overlooking all beings.

Instead, there was a trace of... respect?

He slightly bowed, the movement natural and smooth, carrying a flavor of ancient ritual, his voice calm and clear as he said, "I am Da Lei, a descendant of the Gui Lu District. Greetings to you, Lady Nvba!"

"The Gui Lu District... descendant?"

The vigilance in Jiang Wei’s eyes was instantly replaced by a fleeting confusion and memory.

This name seemed to trigger long-sealed memory fragments within her.

Soon after, a hint of joy appeared on her face, as if meeting a long-lost friend, "You are the descendant of Uncle Da Hong!?"

City Lord Da Lei straightened up, and a rare gentle smile appeared on his lips as he nodded, "Indeed. My ancestor was Da Hong. Honored that you still remember, my Lady."

"That’s wonderful!"

Jiang Wei’s delight was palpable, but the joy only lasted a moment before she recalled more important matters, speaking quickly, "Da Lei, we’ll discuss in detail later! I must find someone first."

With that said, she moved, intending to bypass the City Lord and chase in the direction where Qi Hao and Lei Meng had left.

"Lady Nvba, please wait!"

Da Lei’s expression changed slightly, his figure flashing once again to block in front of Jiang Wei, and his tone became stern and urgent.

Jiang Wei halted, a hint of bewilderment flashing in her red eyes, "What’s wrong?"

Da Lei’s gaze fell on Jiang Wei, as if he could see through the surface to a deeper change within her, his voice heavy, "My Lady, the Power of Reincarnation within you has already begun to be absorbed by yourself. If you forcefully act again, I’m afraid the great calamity will arrive prematurely!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei fell silent.

She was of course aware of her own physical condition.

The Power of Reincarnation was both a blessing and a shackle.

Every time she used the true power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

It accelerated that irreversible process.

But if it was before today.

Jiang Wei might still have been somewhat fearful.

Yet at this moment, thinking of that figure who, even before losing consciousness, stood before her to withstand the godly death ray.

Thinking of the things Qingzi had said.

The shadows and fears in Jiang Wei’s heart had been completely dispelled.

She lightly lifted her head, looking at City Lord Da Lei, her lips curling into a faint smile.

"I know." Her voice was clear and calm.

"But the great calamity will eventually come, won’t it? As Qingzi put it, whether it comes sooner or later, it will come, so let it be."

She paused, casting her gaze in the direction of the Gray Rock District, "So, let’s leave it at that for now."

Having said that, Jiang Wei’s fingertips moved slightly, and a faint flame danced in midair, leaving a trail of numbers formed by fire.

It was a phone number.

Then she lingered no more, her crimson silhouette becoming a stream of light, piercing through the clouds in an instant, hastily heading towards the Cyan Dragon Gang’s stronghold in the Gray Rock District.

"This is my contact information, let’s connect later."

The voice echoed as she disappeared into the distance.

City Lord Da Lei hovered alone at the edge of the boiling thunderclouds, watching Jiang Wei’s departing direction, remaining still for a long time.

The young, weathered face was now filled with complex emotions.

There was relief, anxiety, but more than that, a deep surprise and... confusion.

After a long while, he murmured to himself.

The voice was almost drowned out by the wind:

"The Holy Maiden... seems like... she’s changed?"

The loneliness and silence entwined by despair and fate for countless years.

Seemed to have been quietly melted by some gentle force.

...

Elsewhere.

The SUV raced on like the wind and finally charged into the Gray Rock District.

It stopped in front of the five-story concrete building that served as the Cyan Dragon Gang’s dormitory and temporary command base.

"Quick! Stretcher! Doctor! Where’s Old Li?! Get him over here!!"

The car hadn’t fully stopped when Lei Meng pushed the door open and jumped out.

His thunderous roar instantly echoed throughout the small courtyard.

"Coming! Coming!!"

The members of the Cyan Dragon Gang, who had already been notified and were waiting there, immediately sprang into action.

A crude but sturdy stretcher was swiftly brought to the side of the car.

Liu San and Qi Hao carefully lifted the still unconscious Fang Qingyu from the back seat and placed him on the stretcher.

The gang member responsible for first aid ran along with the stretcher, quickly reporting the preliminary assessment, "Brother Meng! Brother Yu has numerous external wounds, mainly from impact and lacerations, which have been initially treated and cleaned. But the internal injuries are severe, his breathing is very weak, he needs prompt treatment!"

"Old Li! Hurry the hell up!!"

Lei Meng roared at an old man carrying a medicine box, running over while panting.

"Here, here! Boss, don’t rush..."

Old Li was the herbal doctor supported by the Cyan Dragon Gang, and at this moment, he was sweating profusely.

The stretcher was quickly carried into a relatively clean room on the first floor.

Old Li immediately stepped forward, beginning to carefully examine Fang Qingyu’s injuries.

Qi Hao stood by the side, looking at Qingzi’s pale face, knowing Qingzi was okay, so he wasn’t too worried.

Instead, he thought of the Bauhinia Association member he had brought back injured.

"Right!"

Qi Hao grabbed a nearby gang member, asking urgently, "The person I brought in earlier! The one who was seriously injured, how is he?"

The gang member quickly replied, "Brother Hao, rest assured! That person’s condition has stabilized! Old Li gave him a Life-extending Ginseng, and used Golden Sore Medicine and bandages to treat and bandage those terrifying wounds, the bleeding has stopped! But, but the person hasn’t woken yet, and his breathing is still very weak."

He paused, a look of disbelief on his face, lowering his voice to add, "Brother Hao... that person is a Martial Saint Middle Realm?! My God, with that kind of power, he could be a major figure in our Gray Rock District! How did he end up so injured?"
