With no one daring to stop Gu Changqing anymore, he flicked his sleeves and entered the building with ease, the new city lord following closely behind.

They had only taken a few steps when they heard a deep voice.

"Who dares to be so bold as to trespass on my territory without reporting? Are they tired of living? Don't they know my rules?"

The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe appeared before them.

Gu Changqing looked up and saw that the man had long silver hair that fluttered in the wind, a tall and straight figure, dark skin, and a face that gave people a very mean and unapproachable feeling. His eyes were small but bright and piercing, and he had a unique temperament.

His entire body emanated an incomparably powerful aura, as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

As Gu Changqing sized up the man, the man also gave him a sharp look, scrutinizing both of them.

The silver-haired middle-aged man angrily said to Gu Changqing, "Why are you trespassing on my property?"

Gu Changqing sneered and said with a disdainful look, "If you want to break in, then break in. What can you do to us?"

“We’re not idle people. There must be a reason why we’ve come here. Do you think we would come here for no reason? Don’t you really know what heinous things you’ve done?” The new city lord sneered, looking cynical.

"Hehehe, I don't even know you guys. What heinous things could I possibly do? Tell me! Even if I did something, it has nothing to do with you, right?" The silver-haired man chuckled and said dismissively.

He didn't recognize the two young men in front of him at all, and wondered if they had the wrong people.

Gu Changqing was too lazy to waste words with this person and went straight to the point: "Let's not beat around the bush. I'm here today on the behalf of this young master. He told me that you killed his father, so we're here to seek revenge."

The silver-haired man laughed heartily and said directly, "I've killed too many people, and too many people are looking for revenge. Tell me who your father is. If I didn't kill him, you absolutely cannot wrong me."

Unable to contain his excitement, the new city lord said with a serious expression, "My father is the city lord of Phoenix City and also your junior brother. Don't tell me you don't remember him. I came here to ask you why you had to kill my father?"

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "So you are my junior brother's son. This is the first time I've ever met you in your life. But there are some things you can't say carelessly. Your father and I are fellow disciples, and we have a very deep bond. How could I kill your father? What reason would I have to kill him? What benefit would that bring me?"

It turned out that the young man in front of him was his junior brother's son. He said that the young man looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"You know perfectly well why you killed my father. My father mentioned you to me before he died. He said that your relationship was not good, that you were like oil and water. How come it's completely different in your mouth? Do you think I believe what you say or what my father said?" The new city lord smiled coldly and said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired man remained calm and said in a composed manner, "Young man, what evidence do you have that I killed your father? If you have no evidence, then it is slander. You can't just make things up with empty words. Do you think anyone will believe you by saying that?"

Upon hearing this man's words, the new city lord said earnestly, "I swear to God that I did not lie, and I am not without evidence as you say. When I was cleaning my father's body, I found a piece of cloth in his hand."

After he finished speaking, he took the piece of cloth from his waist.

Upon seeing this, the silver-haired man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and said calmly, "It's just a piece of cloth, how can you prove it has anything to do with me?"

"this…………"

The new city lord was somewhat embarrassed and speechless. How could this piece of cloth prove a connection to this person? He didn't know how to prove it for the moment.

Seeing that the young man had nothing to say, the silver-haired man said smugly, "Since you can't prove it, please leave. But remember, if you accuse me of killing your father again with such baseless accusations, I won't be so lenient. Don't blame me for being impolite. Today, I'll let it slide for your father's sake."

Just then, Gu Changqing spoke up: "I have a way to prove that this piece of cloth is yours. It's normal that the young master next to me has a low cultivation level and can't sense it, but he can't escape my discerning eyes. The aura left on this piece of cloth is exactly the same as the one on you. Although the color of this piece of cloth is different from what you are wearing now, this piece of cloth has your aura. You can't fool me. Also, when you heard that your junior brother was murdered, your first reaction was not surprise, but to be eager to get away with it and clear your name. Your eagerness to clear your name only exposes your guilty conscience."

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?" The new city lord slapped his forehead and said as if he had just realized something.

Before anyone could speak, the new city lord continued, "If it is truly as you say, that you and my father were like brothers, then why did you show no sadness or surprise at his death? One possibility is that you already knew my father was dead. But you and my father haven't been in contact for so many years, how could you know he was dead? There's only one possibility: you killed my father!"

Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said directly, "What else do you have to explain? You killed his father. Stop trying to deny it. Even now, you still don't dare to admit it?"

"Hahaha, you all guessed it right. Well then, I won't hide it anymore. I did kill your father, so what?"

Seeing that his lie had been exposed, the silver-haired man decided not to continue pretending.
