Chapter 216 Oh my goodness!!
Chapter 216 Oh my goodness!!
"So—that's all it is?"
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu couldn't help but cover his face and look desperate.
"Xu Ruozhou, Xu Ruozhou, you are so stupid."
At this time, Wang Yu had already returned safely from the Yama Ghost Market. He was standing in front of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the central city area where only one mansion was left, and he was very angry.
Xu Ruozhou knelt on the ground, his head lowered and his face flushed red.
Wang Yu said with a disappointed look on his face.
"Master Tianshui, he is Jin Manlou's direct descendant weapon refining master. He turned Guiling City into this state, and he sent you away with just a thank you?
"So many people died, all because of him. Does the reconstruction of the city and post-war compensation require money? Did he give it? Ah!!!"
Xu Ruozhou suddenly remembered something. He touched his pocket and handed over a black iron ball mixed with lightning. He said:
“Senior Tianshui said that he misjudged the power of this item when he killed the group of assassins and accidentally caused this scene. So he gave this item to the city lord and will find a way to compensate him when he returns from the east coast.
"She also said that when Miss Jin Miaoshan comes out of confinement, she will come over to thank you in person."
Wang Yu took the Thunder Tribulation Pill and said speechlessly.
"Do I need her to say thank you? Why didn't you take this out earlier?"
"I forgot for a moment."
Xu Ruozhou recorded the scene of the thunder sea erupting in Guiling City with a photo stone. It was not only convenient for Wang Yu to understand what happened later, but also could be used as evidence of the other party's guilt, making it easier to ask for compensation.
However, this inconspicuous iron ball is really powerful.
It is like an explosion range. It is a strange magic weapon that exceeds the launch radius. It is a disposable consumable. Although it is powerful, it requires caution when using it.
So as not to get involved.
No one knew how many Thunder Tribulation Pills Master Tianshui had used to create the scene. After putting the things away, his men organized the repair and comfort work on their own without any arrangements from him.
He was now very curious about how the people of Yunling Prefecture would react when the news spread and they heard that he had once again ordered a massacre.
Although it was fake and everyone knew it, Chiyuan never lacked people to have fun with.
I just came back and finished my work.
Wang Yu was just about to grab a handful of snow jade. This guy was basically kept at the City Lord's Mansion. After being cultivated with top-quality elixirs for a period of time, he was not far from advancement.
At this time, Han Jia from Tianbao Pavilion came to visit on his own initiative.
Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.
"Wang~ City Lord! You have done something big again. You have flattened Jin Man Lou. From now on, you will be Tian Bao Pavilion's friend forever."
"Hey, hey, hey - you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Brother Han Jia, if your words get out, it will kill my brother."
This time Han Jia came alone, his twin children were not around. He put his arm around Wang Yu's shoulders and said with a strange smile:
"I understand, I understand. A tall tree attracts the wind."
Wang Yu was speechless
"It wasn't me who did it. Just wait, someone from Jin Man Lou will come forward to take responsibility."
Han Jia looked suspicious: "It's really not you?"
"otherwise?"
"Ok."
Han Jia savored the conversation and smacked his lips. He thought about the conversation he had heard and guessed that Wang Yu was implicated by the infighting within Jin Manlou.
Thinking of this, Han Jia's expression became even weirder.
"City Lord Wang's ability to find trouble is beyond my reach."
"Can I be the one looking for trouble? Some people are looking for death."
"Makes sense."
"What on earth do you want, Brother Han Jia? I still have a lot of official business to deal with."
"Look at me, I almost forgot."
Han Jia slapped his thigh hard, straightened his hat, and spoke seriously.
"Look, Jin Man Lou has been razed to the ground, and all the people there are dead. Will the market in Gui Ling City belong to Tian Bao Pavilion in the future?"
Wang Yu frowned, but did not deny it.
"That's the way it is now."
Han Jia felt relieved immediately.
"Well, I want to talk to you about buying a few more plots of land. As for the Leiyujiao Garden outside the city, why don't you sell it all to me? Tianbao Pavilion is planning to expand in Guiling City."
"The land is fine, but the Leiyujiao Garden is not. It is the inheritance of the Guiling City Lord's Mansion, and I only have the right to own it for three hundred years."
"Forget it, let's talk about buying land in the central city."
Han Jia didn't force it since he couldn't take over the banana plantation. He just wanted to squeeze out the business of the Guan, Jiang and Jiedan sects, and by the way, cancel the premium contract that was signed in order to seize the market.
Times have changed. Tianbao Pavilion is not a charity.
The timing for him to jump out was perfect, and Wang Yu really couldn't refuse.
The argument lasted until the afternoon.
The party ended only after Han Jia was invited to stay for a banquet.
As a result, Wang Yu had just returned to the room and was loosening his belt when Xu Ruzhou's panicked voice came in.
"Woe is to you, woe is to you!
"My Lord City Lord, the holy offerings were stolen this time, and everyone is dead. We can't find any clues."
bang——
The door of Wang Yu's room exploded. He grabbed Xu Ruzhou's clothes and said with red eyes.
"What did you say?!!"
…………
…………night.
Led by Wang Yu and Qing Yang, the hall was filled with monks.
Many of them are at the commander level, and their cultivation is generally in the late stage of Qi training. Most of them are recruited independent cultivators, with average combat power and questionable loyalty.
There is no way around it. Wang Yu has been in Guiling for less than 30 years, and the talents selected in the initial stage have just grown up and lack the experience of blood and fire.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak. Wang Yu was also very annoyed.
It had been twenty-five years, and nothing had gone wrong with the first four offerings of one million spirit stones. But something went wrong this time, and at a time when things were happening one after another.
The Scent-Smelling Contest was a disastrous defeat, the Guiling City Thunderstorm was a draw, and now... his holy offering was robbed again. It seemed like this year was a bad year for him, and all the bad things broke out at this moment.
"Who on earth is making things difficult for me?"
Seeing this, Qingyang made a guess.
"City Lord, could it be someone from the Earth Demon Sect who did it? After all, the old demon Earth Puppet died in Guiling, and they haven't reacted yet, as if they didn't know anything."
Wang Yu heard this.
Although the boiling murderous intent could no longer be stopped, it made him look like a man wrapped in red mist, full of terrifying bloody smell.
But his consciousness was quite calm, and he spoke directly and confidently.
“Impossible, the Earth Demon Sect is an old sect in Yunling Province, they are just pretending to be dead by keeping silent.
"I don't know, but it's better than losing the reputation of the sect. Covering one's ears and stealing the bell sometimes doesn't work, but sometimes deceiving oneself is still very useful."
"this--"
Qingyang looked at everyone in the field and transmitted the message.
"Is it Little Fu Jun Luo Chen? Although He Gu died, he wrote back saying that the mission was successful. Was it revenge?"
Wang Yu paused, thought for a moment, and then shook his head at Qingyang. No matter what the internal factions of the Nilingxue Sect were, the spirit stones offered to the sect would not be touched.
What's more, Luo Chen is also from Zhuo Shouqing's lineage.
He tricked Wang Yu but did not show any outward hostility towards him. He did not even show any sarcasm or pride, and it was obvious that he did not want to fight him directly.
"Then it can only be Jin Lin? But he has no need to do this, and no reason to do so. Plotting against you is one thing, but snatching the holy offering is equivalent to provoking the Holy Sect."
Indeed, there is even less reason for Jin Lin.
Just as Wang Yu and Qingyang were discussing with each other, Xu Ruzhou, who had been thinking in the hall, suddenly spoke and said.
"Lord City Lord, could it be the remnants of the Bai family?"
These words were like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the fog in my mind.
Yes.
His sights have always been on higher levels, and he has forgotten about the Bai family that he easily destroyed when he first arrived in Guiling.
In the Chiyuan Demon Realm, the greater the force behind you, the more you can appreciate the power of the Five Sects of Demonic Path. This is a dominant force that can fight five against seven and still maintain its advantage.
Over in the Taihu Spirit Realm, the seven overlord forces are able to compete with the demonic sect, as can be seen from this.
But the foundation-building forces... they are too far away from the Nascent Soul Overlord, and instead have a kind of boldness like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. If anyone could possibly touch his holy offering.
The most likely ones are the remnants of the Bai family.
What's more, the eldest elder of the Bai family did not die, but was taken away by the people of Huangquan Temple. If Huangquan Temple took action against Guiling City, this matter would immediately escalate into a battle between overlords.
Wang Yu personally felt that it was unlikely that Huangquan Temple was involved, but it definitely provided support to the Bai family's great elder, and it was possible that he had broken through to the Jindan stage.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Yu had to admit that Xu Ruzhou was still quite smart.
"Where is the ancestral home of the remnants of the Bai family? More than 20 years have passed, so the ancestor of the Bai family must have died, right?"
"Reporting to the City Lord, the ancestors of the Bai family were not from Yunling Prefecture, and we don't know where the ancestral home is."
"waste."
Wang Yu snorted coldly.
"The most urgent task is to find a way to make up for this year's holy offering, Qingyang."
"exist."
"Go and inform the Guan and Jiang families, Zilong Mountain, Shuimo Sect, and Wenxiang Sect. All five families must contribute and say that the spiritual stones they offered as tribute were robbed by the remnants of the Bai family."
"Yes!"
The city lord has no extra food, so we can only hold on like this for now.
"Xu Ruozhou, bring a team of people and go to the scene with me to see if there are any other clues."
"Yes!"
"Others, go find the location of the Bai family's ancestral home. This time I want to wipe out their entire clan, leaving no one alive."
"Yes!"
After the late-night meeting ended, Wang Yu hurriedly wrote a letter and asked the messenger to deliver it to the capital of Yunling Prefecture. This place is different from Fengzhou. The area is vast and sparsely populated, and the number of spiritual veins there is rare.
It is not adjacent to other forces. There are only a few Jindan masters in Fengzhou City, while Yunlingzhou, although small in area, is full of the best.
The spiritual veins are compactly distributed, and there are popular areas such as [Demon Bone Forest] and [Ancient Ruins·Dongjijing]. Many people come from other states, and even cultivators from other forces will cross the border to come.
therefore.
There are Nascent Souls in charge of Yunling City, and there is more than one of them.
Having noticed the connection between the Bai family and Huangquan Temple, even if nothing has happened yet, he can prepare for it in advance and talk about the situation and speculation.
Another thing is that his letters can only be delivered to Yunling Prefecture.
Reporting to a higher level may easily offend people.
He would send a letter to test the waters first. If something really happened, he would have a reason to not stick to the pan.
After dealing with these things, he set off with Xu Ruozhou and others.
