"My name is Xia Xiao, and I'm from Longgang."
This is something that everyone knows, but Xia Xiao wants to say it again. He wants to dig up the past today and make public everything that Lin Jing and Xu Xing have done. As for the consequences, that is not something he should consider!
"A month ago, I came to Rongcheng, ready to meet the strong men from all walks of life, to motivate myself and speed up my practice. Because my female companion Shu Shuang needed a Ying Hu, I participated in the big fight in Jinmen Fighting City, and luckily won the championship as number 99."
This was the first time Xia Xiao admitted it himself, which immediately caused an uproar.
"Our city lord was generous and gave me the Ying Hu (Profitable Gourd), but I did not agree to join the alliance. My purpose of coming to Rongcheng was simple, which was to participate in the local competition. But our city lord felt that I was a threat, so he used an innocent person to trick me into going to the bandit den in Hushan, actually wanting to kill me. But things went beyond his imagination, and I survived and did not die in Hushan."
The real version is not much different from the legendary version, but when Xia Xiao said this himself, the people of Rongcheng were still shocked. He called him Lord City Lord in a friendly way, but it made the people and Lin Jing himself feel ironic. He was not a Lord at all, he was just a narrow-minded villain.
Many people didn't expect Lin Jing to be so bold. Xia Xiaoke was the chief of the First Church? The identity of the emperor's disciple. Although this identity could not enjoy privileges, it would not be possible to be framed, right? Wasn't he afraid of being in the First Church?
Lin Jing was naturally afraid. He stood in front of everyone with a grim look on his face. He wanted to put all the blame on Manager Bin, but the three major families in Rongcheng were one family and he couldn't shirk it anyway.
"When I was in Tiger Mountain Village, I accidentally found the Black Gold Growth Leaf that originally belonged to the City Lord. It was the only thing I took away from Tiger Mountain. But later, the City Lord said that Lin Tian really needed the Black Gold Growth Leaf, so I returned it to him, but there was a condition. City Lord, do you still remember it?"
Lin Jing was not sure what to say. What could he do now? Kill Xia Xiao in public? Impossible, because that would be like declaring war on the Zoushou Church. That organization was as powerful as a country. If the matter was done in secret, they might not pursue it too much. But if it was done openly, even if it was just for face and dignity, they would raze Rongcheng and Linxicheng to the ground.
Gou Longbang hurt members of the Zou Shou Church and was taught? The emperor destroyed 300,000 troops in anger. Who doesn't know this? But thinking about this now can only increase his burden. Lin Jing thought he was very smart and dared to advance or retreat, but this matter was beyond his control.
"My condition is that you can't embarrass me and Shu Shuang anymore. As long as you do that, I will let bygones be bygones about what happened at Hushan."
After Xia Xiao's statement, all smart people felt that he was not simple. Although this was true, Xia Xiao said that he was very open-minded. In comparison, what was Lin Jing?
"But you didn't do it. Those five people were the assassins you sent. Lord City Lord, you wouldn't say that he has nothing to do with you, right?"
Everyone turned their eyes to the four dead bodies, plus the bald man standing next to them, a total of five people. Five people couldn't kill Xia Xiao, how strong could he be? When everyone cast fearful eyes at Xia Xiao, Lin Tian was also looking at him. Lin Tian didn't know these things, could it be that the storm in the distance before was caused by Xia Xiao?
“Lin Jing doesn’t dare!”
After that, Lin Jing knelt on one knee, looking as if he was apologizing. Tens of thousands of people saw this and sighed in amazement. Lin Tian beside him was even more shocked. His father... knelt down?
As the lord of a city, Lin Jing had lost his usual dignity. But the next moment, the people of Linxi City who were watching the excitement also showed astonishment, because their lord knelt down like Lin Tian, and even bent his other knee.
The people of Linxi City were immediately panicked. Could it be that someone from their side was also involved? Suddenly, they suddenly realized that the bald man standing next to the four dead bodies was the master of Linxi City.
Many people in the previous spirit hunting team looked down on Xia Xiao. Now they all changed their views and were glad that they had not done anything stupid before.
Thinking of her own behavior, Yu Ling's pretty face suddenly changed. She originally thought that Xia Xiao would never be arrogant, but looking at the attitudes of Lin Jing and Xu Xing, Xia Xiao had his own scheming that made them afraid. But even so, what can he do to us?
There was a sly look in Yu Ling's beautiful eyes. Now that the Zou Shou Church was far away and the local competition was about to begin, the dynasty could not remove Lin Jing and Xu Xing, otherwise the dynasty itself would suffer losses! Once it was delayed for two months, as long as she and Lin Tian performed well in Wanling Valley, it would be considered as redemption.
Yu Ling's idea was good, and Lin Tian also thought it was possible. So today's matter would end with a verbal apology at most, and at most some compensation of gold and spiritual medicine. But suddenly, Lin Tian's eyes went dark.
Many people didn't notice anything unusual, but Lin Tian looked up and finally found a clue. The blue sky and white clouds were still there, but there were broken dark clouds floating in it, gathering together and trying to cover the sky.
Soon, the sky turned dark and the earth cooled down.
Whose power is this? Lin Tian asked himself, but the first person he thought of was the Pope of the First Church, but he should be thousands of miles away...
Lin Tian found it unbelievable. When he looked at Xia Xiao, the latter's face was ashen and he stared at Lin Jing without any surprise, as if all of this was arranged by him.
In fact, Xia Xiao was not surprised, but he did not see it. He was in a bad state at the moment, his eyes were blurry, and his body was almost unstable. If it weren't for Shu Shuang, he would not be able to hold on.
"My Lord City Lord, how do you think we should decide today's matter?"
Xia Xiao looked down from above, making everyone feel intimidated. Everyone in the crowd started talking.
"How do you think Lin Jing will deal with you?"
"I don't know! But the world is dark, and it is obviously the power of the Zou Shou Church. If he makes an inappropriate decision, it may cause greater anger."
"This Lin Jing is really stupid. Why would he want to harm Xia Xiao? Even if he is not a member of the Zou Shou Church, his father and elder brother are also powerful masters of the Venerable Realm. With such strength, they can be regarded as the best in the entire Rongcheng and Linxi City."
"Maybe they think they can do it without anyone noticing! But God is watching what you do!"
…
Lin Jing was torn. This self-inflicted suffering was not as easy as he thought. He was afraid that if he said it too seriously, it would cause great damage to the vitality of the two cities. He was also afraid that if he said it too lightly, it would lead to more serious consequences.
Suddenly, the sky and the earth flashed, and a silver light flashed by.
When everyone looked up, cumulus clouds had rolled up in the sky, and there were flashes of lightning and loud thunder.
Boom boom
The deafening sound made thousands of people's scalps numb, and almost scared those who knew about Zhu Da's affairs to death.
When the earth shook, thousands of people panicked and shouted. When they looked up, the sky, which was clear just a moment ago, was covered by thunderclouds as vast as the sea, leaving no light at all.
The day turned into night in an instant, making thousands of people restless and panicked, fearing that they would be implicated. The sky and the earth were like a cage, and the thunder was like a rod of punishment, and none of them could withstand a single rod. As the lightning in the thundercloud raged across the sky, one person shouted:
"Fuck it, make up your mind, don't involve us!"
This sound was far inferior to thunder, but it could easily cause public outrage. The thunderclouds in the sky were huge and boundless, and they couldn't escape even if they ran away now. They could only pray that they would not be struck by lightning.
While Lin Jing was struggling, Xia Xiao's vision gradually became darker. His body tilted, but Shu Shuang supported him.
"Are you okay?"
Xia Xiao squinted his eyes. He couldn't bear it anymore. His previous injuries had made him extremely tired. In addition, he had already exhausted himself physically and mentally after jogging out of the forbidden wall.
boom--
After a thunder roared, lightning fell from the sky, like a flying dragon, towards the ground. Tens of thousands of people saw it and fled in all directions. Some people tried to hide under the carriage, some were pushed down, and then there was a stampede. But how fast is lightning? When they just moved, the ground was shaking!
The four people who were blasted away were already dead. The place where they were standing turned into a large pit more than 50 meters wide in the blink of an eye. The bald man at the edge of the pit stayed where he was, and walked towards this side with a staggering step. A closer look revealed that his right arm was missing.
Just like the charred soil on the ground, the bald man's shoulders had turned into charcoal. But he was lucky. If he had reacted slower and had not left the four people, he would have been struck to death. The shocking pit showed the power of lightning. After walking a few steps, the bald man fell to the ground headfirst and fainted.
This is a young master in the Venerable Realm. If he is like this, what else can Lin Jing do? When Xu Xing looked at Lin Jing, the latter's brain became hot and he shouted:
"Anyone who participated in this incident or knew about it should cut off his own arm as an apology!"
After saying that, Lin Jing drew out the knife of the guard beside him and cut off his left arm fiercely. Xu Xing saw it and gritted his teeth and did as he was told. After that, the fifteen people did the same thing one by one, and none of them dared to neglect it.
The people had never seen such a scene before, and they were suddenly silent, and they could not help but be surprised. Is this the result of offending the Zoushou Church? But it is not bad, cutting off one's arm is better than losing one's life, the Zoushou Church and Xia Xiao are still kind!
Lin Tian's scalp was numb, and he felt a little angry when he saw his father who had lost his left arm. But he looked at Xia Xiao, who was silent and just walked down gradually, as if it had nothing to do with him. His brain felt heavy and tired. This should be the power of the master. Thank you, master!
Taking a step forward, Lin Tian walked towards Xia Xiao. The backbone of the three major families in Rongcheng has now become one-armed. How can they continue to lead Rongcheng in the future? The arrogant Lin Tian was pulled back after taking a few steps.
"Tian'er, don't talk!"
Lin Jing's voice trembled as he gave a warning, but Lin Tian said angrily with full of passion:
"You are a person who has come from afar, and you are also the disciple of the pope of the Zoushou Church. Why do you want to compete for this position? And she, she has a very high status and is a member of the Zoushou Church. Why does she want to get involved? Do you know what the local competition means to us? It is our only chance to turn things around, but you are different. You have more ways to succeed than us..."
Lin Tian lost his previous carefree and handsome look. His face flushed with anger. He wanted to kick down the elders in front of him. He rushed to Xia Xiao, looked him in the eyes and asked him why he was like this. His extreme behavior had already endangered Rongcheng.
