Chapter 205 The prophecy finally came true

"This city lord has given you a chance to live, why don't you cherish it?"

Wu Cha Shi wanted to say something, but the moment he opened his mouth, blood gushed out.

The blood mixed with the melted snow and seeped into the deep soil.

Wu Chashi staggered half a step and fell to the ground.

There was blood in his mouth and his throat made a sound, which was unclear.

"You want to know why I did this? Wu Chashi, I was so naive to spare your life back then."

City Lord Mei stood there condescendingly, with a mocking look in his eyes.

"Do you remember the prophecy of the previous city lord?"

Wu Chashi's pupils trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, then raised his hand tremblingly.

As soon as the hand moved, it was chopped off by the knife.

The last thing that stopped at the glare in Wu Chashi's dazed pupils was City Lord Mei's eyes, which were dark and frightening without a trace of white.

The pain of betrayal is not even half as great.

The last person to know the prophecy is dead.

The prophecy was finally fulfilled.

He who controls plum blossoms is reincarnated to protect the eternal peace of West City. No one should scheme against him, otherwise West City will be destroyed.

Over the past hundred years, there have been so many peaceful days that almost everyone has forgotten the prophecy left by the previous city lord.

Blood dripped along the blade, and City Lord Mei bowed respectfully to the stone statue.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir."

A black gas gradually devoured the corpse on the ground, including flesh and blood. After the chewing sound, in just a moment, the corpse disappeared from the spot, as if it had never appeared.

City Lord Mei watched everything indifferently, then walked away.

Everything is peaceful in the City Lord's Mansion.

Two babies were sleeping peacefully in their swaddles.

The sound of the door being pushed open caused the two babies to open their eyes, their pupils also completely black.

City Lord Mei picked up a baby by the neck. The baby did not cry or make a fuss, but just stared at the person in front of him with his black pupils.

As his hand tightened, the black air flowed into the main body of Meicheng.

From infancy to empty shell and finally disappearance, only a moment.

City Lord Mei walked out of the house satisfied.

A pair of eyes hid behind the window, taking everything in.

Killing is hidden in the darkness.

Daytime is a temporary fig leaf.

At dawn, another piece of bad news came from West City.

"Chapter Wu is dead!"

"What, Wu Chashi died?!"

"Last night, Wu Cha Shi was killed by the witch because he caught her committing a crime!"

"The city lord's daughter also disappeared last night!"

Not only the people of West City were terrified, but also the guards.

A large number of people gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as the door opened, everyone knelt down and kowtowed one after another.

"Please give me justice, City Lord!"

"My baby was only fifteen days old, and was killed by a witch. Please give me justice, Lord."

"And my family..."

The sounds of crying and tearful accusations were endless.

Lord Mei was standing on the steps at this moment, like a god supported by thousands of people.

He enjoyed the support of thousands of people, but his face showed that he was trying hard to suppress the grief of losing his beloved daughter.

He raised his hand to signal for silence and spoke slowly in a heavy voice.

"This city lord knows what you all want. This morning, I sent a spiritual message to ask the great masters of Yantian Sect to help."

"Like all of you, as a father, I lost my beloved daughter. I am heartbroken and can't sleep at night."

"Once we capture these three, we will give the people of West City an explanation."

City Lord Mei spoke indignantly, and the people present wept even more.

"City Lord, without my child, my life is over. Just tell me what you need me to do."

"And me, I'll also help catch the witch!"

City Lord Mei nodded heavily, with a barely noticeable arc rising at the corner of his mouth.

*

The few remaining plum trees in West City were cut down and removed one by one by the people.

"The city lord said that this plum blossom is evil and cannot be kept!"

"Whoever has plum blossoms in front of his door, a witch will steal his child."

"No wonder the witch stuck a plum blossom on the door after stealing the child. It turned out to be a mark."

"It's all because of the disaster caused by the city guardian statue. Good job."

The city lord once said that it was difficult for families to have offspring because the city-guarding statue was a symbol of extinction, and the idiot son born to the city lord's wife was the best symbol of this.

When the city-guarding statue was being pushed, many elders stepped forward to stop it, but they all died suddenly in front of the statue overnight.

The city lord took back power and no longer set up the Elders' Hall. He was in charge of the West City alone.

Lord Mei took the lead in overthrowing the statue, and on the day the statue was overthrown, auspicious signs appeared in the sky.

The city guardian statue has been overturned for twenty-three years.

Twenty-three years is neither long nor short, but it is enough to fade many memories.

Just like the plum blossoms in the hands of the city guardian statue, just like the previous wars, when plum blossoms bloomed in summer, the neighboring countries retreated.

With the statue of the god of childbirth, no one wants to worship the abandoned god.

The Lord of Plum City stood on the top of the city wall, looking down at his foolish subjects digging plum trees.

These ignorant fools brought death to themselves.

"The city lord tricked his people into digging up plum trees. Could it be that he wanted to destroy the spiritual veins?"

Ye Xingzhou watched the people busy digging plum trees on the street, his fingertips tapping the windowsill nervously.

Push the city-guarding statue, set up a barrier to seal the city, and dig up plum trees to destroy the spiritual veins.

As for the death of Wu Chashi, it must be because he discovered the city lord's secret, so he was killed by the city lord and the blame was put on Miss Mei.

What's the secret?

Miss Mei allowed the city lord to behave like this. Is she trying to lure the snake out of its hole?

Ye Xingzhou suddenly had an idea.

"Junior brother, go and straighten the city guardian statue in the temple. I'll buy some incense and come right back."

"Well, send me a spiritual message if there is anything."

"good."

Meng Zhi jumped out of the inn.

Ye Xingzhou went straight to the incense shop after leaving the inn.

"Shopkeeper, sell me all the incense and candles in your shop."

A bag of change was placed on the table, and the shopkeeper was very quick.

"Sir, get it ready immediately!"

Ye Xingzhou bought things from almost all the incense shops on this street, and his storage bag was full of incense and candles.

He didn't believe the rumor that the city-guarding statue would bring bad luck to his offspring. The city lord must have pushed the city-guarding statue out of fear.

In this case, he would lift up all the statues in the West City and burn incense to offer sacrifices.

Ye Xingzhou found a beggar resting in a dilapidated temple and generously threw out three bags of silver.

"Come, come, beggar brother, I have a good thing to do for you. Just go to the various temples in West City and burn some incense. The sooner the better, and all the small change will be yours."

With silver, you can even burn incense and offer sacrifices.

A group of beggars agreed readily, and after receiving the incense, they quickly divided the work and rushed to various temples.

Ready-made labor can be used just by paying it, which is much faster than working alone.

In front of him was a dilapidated city-guarding statue with its gold paint scraped off. Ye Xingzhou lit the incense in his hand and inserted it into the incense burner.

Amidst the curling green smoke, the city-guarding statue stood quietly.

There was no evil spirit like that of a fertility-giving deity, and the statue of the guardian deity stood there, like a mighty army leading the way.

*

At this time, the last plum tree in Xicheng was uprooted.

City Lord Mei's black pupils trembled with excitement.

If you look closely, you will find that the trembling things are crawling with sticky insects.

Even if he is his reincarnation, what can we do to him? Now he is the only God.

“It worked, hahahahaha, it worked!”

City Lord Mei's unbridled and eerie laughter spread throughout West City, causing people to tremble with fear when they heard it.

"A bunch of idiots, they destroyed their own lives."
