Donghai City, City Lord's Mansion.

at this time.

Inside a small conference room, high-ranking officials from various departments of the City Lord's Mansion gathered, each with a solemn expression and eyes filled with anger.

"Everyone, please speak up!"

Xu Liang, the city lord of Donghai, looked at everyone in the conference room with a gloomy expression and asked, "What should we do next?"

“Naturally, it’s to stop Lin Xuan. The First Army is the garrison at Shanhaiguan. What right do they have to interfere in the affairs of our East China Sea?”

As soon as Xu Liang finished speaking, a middle-aged man's face darkened, and he said, "Furthermore, if we allow Lin Xuan to lead the First Army to cause trouble and interrogate everyone in the Thunder God Group..."

Where will that leave the reputation of the East China Sea region?

“That’s right, this matter must be stopped. The First Army has already crossed the line. Even if there is to be an investigation, that is a matter for our East China Sea, and has nothing to do with their First Army.”

"Lin Xuan has gone too far! Not only did he lead his troops into the city without our permission, but he also went on a killing spree against the Thunder God Group. He's completely ignoring us!"

"We must stop him; we absolutely cannot let them continue to be so arrogant."

"Hehe, you're all talking so loudly, so let me ask you, who among you will actually try to stop Lin Xuan now, and who can stop him?"

Don't forget, that killing god just killed the eldest son of the Lei family, and two others at the Void Refinement Realm.

"That's right, Lin Xuan is too powerful. We received information that he killed thirty people at the Void Refinement Realm in the Mangshan training camp, including two Void Transformation Realm experts at the third stage of the Void Refinement Realm from the Lei family."

"Those bastards from the Thor Group colluded with evil spirits and went to Shanhaiguan to act arrogantly, offending Lin Xuan. Now look what happened... They're dead, but they left us with such a huge mess."

"It's all thanks to the Lei family. Everyone knows that the Lei God Group is basically just a dog of the Lei family..."

...

Inside the meeting room, a great deal of discussion and heated arguments erupted.

"Enough!"

Xu Liang's face was gloomy, and he rebuked him in a cold voice.

He directly stopped the crowd from continuing their argument and said coldly, "The Lei family is not something we can discuss."

Now let's talk about the First Army.

Wang Renlong, you are the head of my East Sea Demon Suppression Division. The Thunder God Group's collusion with evil spirits should have been under your jurisdiction.

What are your opinions now?

As he spoke, Xu Liang looked at a man in his forties or fifties with a face as black as charcoal and said in a deep voice, "Lin Xuan's actions have clearly crossed the line. He has overstepped his bounds and taken over the work of your Demon Suppression Division."

You wouldn't just sit here without saying anything, would you?

"Lord of the city, this matter is very complicated. As far as I know, the Thunder God Group messed up in Shanhaiguan and was caught red-handed by Lin Xuan, the commander of the First Army, which led to the subsequent events."

Wang Renlong, the dark-faced man, remained calm and didn't take Xu Liang's clumsy instigation and provocation seriously at all.

He simply said coldly, "Therefore, according to the law, Lin Xuan's actions are not against the rules and are perfectly justifiable."

After all, there are some ambiguous parts to this law...

"But Lin Xuan's actions are a slap in the face to Donghai City."

Xu Liang's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

His voice also carried a hint of coldness and displeasure.

The crowd fell silent, many with a glint in their eyes.

Nobody is a fool.

They realized that Xu Liang was very dissatisfied with Lin Xuan, but he was unwilling to show his dissatisfaction directly and wanted to find a knife.

pity!

Wang Renlong may look like a big, burly man, but he's actually as shrewd as a fox.

They weren't falling for it at all.

"What the City Lord says is true. Perhaps... the City Lord could personally negotiate with Lin Xuan, or issue an ultimatum, a warning, and order him to leave Donghai City with his men..."

After pondering for a moment, Wang Renlong finally spoke in a serious tone.

"you……"

Xu Liang was furious.

That bastard is pretending to be stupid when he clearly knows the truth!

They told him to go directly to Lin Xuan to negotiate, and even issued an ultimatum. Damn it, they want me to confront Lin Xuan directly, right?

Then you can watch the show from the back.

What a despicable person!

I only wanted to use you as a weapon, but you actually want to use me as cannon fodder.

That's going too far!

"Lord City Lord..."

Just then, a man dressed as an ancient scholar suddenly said, "Why don't we send someone to discuss this with Lin Xuan first?"

In any case, this matter concerns the reputation of our Donghai City.

"Let's talk to Lin Xuan and find out what's going on with him..."

"this……"

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Liang said in a deep voice, "That's the only way. Chief Wang, this matter is related to your Demon Suppression Division, so you will be in full charge of communicating with Lin Xuan!"

Let's test his reaction first..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Renlong cursed inwardly.

That bastard is determined to make things difficult for himself.

However, despite his displeasure, Wang Renlong had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

Since Xu Liang was right, this matter was related to his Demon Suppression Division, and it was reasonable for him to step in, so he had no reason to refuse.

Otherwise, Xu Liang would definitely seize on this point and try to get rid of him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Demon Suppression Division seems to be a self-contained system.

Regardless, Xu Liang was the Lord of Donghai City, one of his superiors, so he couldn't refute him.

Unless, he is prepared to completely break ties with Xu Liang.

But he dared not.

Xu Liang is a scoundrel, but he wields considerable influence in the East China Sea. If things really come to a head, he'll be the one who suffers.

...

Thor Building.

Lin Xuan was sitting in the office of the president of the Thor Group, listening to Su Changfeng and others report on the situation.
