Lord Sun had a threatening look on his face. He sneered and stared at Chen Xuan with a bad look.
"A dog will always eat shit. Looks like I didn't hurt you enough."
Chen Xuan shook his head. Today he had witnessed what it meant to rely on the power of others.
It is because the city lord is backing him up that Lord Sun feels so confident.
"Hmph, I'll let you be arrogant for a while, but later I'll make you kneel on the ground and cry for mercy."
Lord Sun snorted coldly.
He knew that someone like Chen Xuan would never bow to the City Lord.
If he doesn't bow his head, the city lord will definitely not spare his life.
This way, he will have a chance for revenge!
Chen Xuan grinned: "Don't worry, I will make you kneel on the ground and sing Conquer later."
"Young man, don't be too impulsive. Don't you understand that strong things can break easily?"
At this moment, the city lord suddenly spoke.
His voice was very powerful, and there was an irresistible majesty in it as soon as he opened his mouth.
For a moment, everyone present had the illusion that he was an adult and they were just children.
What adults say is often right, and children should obey it.
If you dare not obey, you will be severely punished.
In short, as soon as the city lord opened his mouth, everyone felt this way.
"The group leader has spoken, are they going to take action against him?"
"Nonsense! This guy is so powerful, he must have found some incredible treasure in the tomb. This is our Deserted City's treasure. Do you think the City Lord will just watch him take it away?"
"That's right. He now has only two possible outcomes. One is to honestly hand over the treasures he found in the tomb. The other is to die refusing to surrender."
"Haha, would rather die than surrender? If he really dares to do that, then we can notify his family to come and collect his body."
"Haha, collecting the body? That's wishful thinking. Once the City Lord does it himself, do you think he can still leave the body intact?"
"Haha, you're right. If the City Lord takes action personally, not only will there not be a few scraps of flesh left, not even a hair will be left. He will be directly beaten to ashes."
There were countless people talking around.
Of course, almost everyone believes without exception that the city lord will control everything.
If you follow it, you will prosper; if you go against it, you will perish!
"Oh no! The city lord is about to attack Master Chen!"
At this moment, Concubine Shu could no longer remain calm.
After all, the current one is different from the previous ones.
The current city lord is the Great Divine Emperor!
Looking at the entire Eastern Wilderness, the only one who can surpass him is the Great Emperor Donghuang!
Therefore, no one is optimistic about Chen Xuan!
"Do you think this person will submit to the City Lord?"
"Come on, I'll be the banker. We can place our bets now. If you bet that he will submit to the City Lord, I'll pay you out at 1 to 1 odds!"
"If you bet on him to die rather than surrender, the payout will be one to one!"
For a while, some people even acted as dealers on the spot.
The surroundings immediately became lively.
"I'll buy his surrender for a thousand divine sources!"
"Hahaha, Old Zhao, this is a rare opportunity to make a fortune, and you only bought a thousand Divine Sources?"
"That's right, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he will definitely surrender!"
"I bet 10,000 divine sources!"
"Tsk tsk, are you all so sure he will surrender? I don't think so. In my opinion, it's more likely that he would rather die than surrender!"
"You have to know that even powerful Divine Emperors have their own dignity. What is the purpose of living a lifetime? Isn't it just to fight for your dignity?"
"I'll buy him twenty thousand divine sources for his unyielding spirit!"
"Haha, I'd also like to bet on him not to surrender, but I'm not as rich as Lao Wang. I'll offer 5,000 Divine Sources!"
"You're such a loser! I'll give you 15,000!"
"I'll give you thirty thousand!"
A group of onlookers turned into a casino, with the sounds of betting money coming one after another.
"These people are simply too much. How can they use this kind of thing to set up a gambling game? This is a matter of life and death!"
Lin Xi was indignant.
"Since ancient times, human hearts are unpredictable, and we have no way to influence others."
Concubine Shu sighed softly.
Seeing that Chen Xuan became everyone's bet, the two of them naturally felt very uncomfortable.
But, even if it is uncomfortable, what can we do?
They had no other options but to pray silently in their hearts, hoping that Chen Xuan could overcome the difficulties.
"Young man, to be honest, I admire you very much."
"How about this, I'll give you a chance. Join me as your disciple. With your abilities, you are fully qualified for the position of deputy city lord."
"Follow me, and I will give you endless benefits."
The city lord smiled and spoke.
After these words were spoken, both Hua Qingyu and Lord Sun felt a slight sinking in their hearts.
You know, there are only two positions for the mayor of this deserted city.
If Chen Xuan is made one of the deputy city lords, doesn't that mean that one of them will be replaced?
This is undoubtedly not good news for the two of them!
"You want to take me in?"
Chen Xuan laughed, "You said you accepted me, but you really wanted to get the Primordial Black Gold and the Glazed Jade Gold."
Lord Sun immediately scolded him, "Boy, the City Lord accepted you as his own. That's the blessing you've earned in eight lifetimes!"
"Also, do you really think that with your abilities, you can protect these two treasures, Primordial Black Gold and Glazed Jade Gold?"
"If you know what's good for you, just hand over these two treasures as a token of your loyalty!"
However, facing this guy's threat again, Chen Xuan sneered.
"Humph, you still dare to sneer at me? I think you really won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Lord Sun bit his back teeth so hard that they were almost broken. He snorted coldly, then clasped his fists towards the city lord and said,
"Lord City Lord, in my opinion, this kid is stubborn and unrepentant. There's no need to give him this opportunity. Just kill him directly!"
"Also, this person has a traitorous streak in his head. Even if he pretends to be loyal to you now, he will definitely turn against you in the future!"
"This kind of person cannot be allowed to stay alive! In my opinion, he should be killed directly!"
He hated Chen Xuan to death and wished he could grind Chen Xuan to ashes immediately!
The city lord had a calm expression. He glanced at Chen Xuan and said calmly:
"Young man, I value talent, but my patience is limited. I'll only give you ten breaths to consider."
"If you submit to me within ten breaths, I will spare your life. If you are unwilling..."
