"City Lord Wang, we are all from Bei'an City, so we should be frank with each other. There is no need to be secretive." Ding Gang's eyes gradually became sharp as he looked at Wang Fu who was sitting on the main seat.
"That's right, City Lord Wang, those green-clothed men?" A cultivator of low cultivation also retorted, "If it really is a hidden immortal sect that has emerged to take over Bei'an City, why is there no movement at all? And besides those green-clothed men, not a single immortal master has appeared!"
"City Lord Wang, there have been frequent conscriptions lately. There are reasons for this. Bei'an City has been free of natural disasters or demonic calamities in recent years. Could you please explain why?"
"City Lord Wang probably looks down on the hundred or so of us. After all, we wiped out the bandits in the mountains without publicizing it. He also kept secret what happened in the seven villages to the north. Could it be that your Immortal Master Liu single-handedly fought against the demonic disaster?"
The leaders who wanted to make changes in Bei'an City spoke out in unison and denounced Wang Fu.
Among the people present, nearly half of them had just learned that the bandits in the western mountains had been wiped out.
When talking about the destruction of Qingshan Village, the expressions of some people in the audience became noticeably worse.
Presumably, they have some vested interests in collusion with the bandits.
In the past few decades, every time a cultivator led a team into the mountains to suppress bandits, the gains were better than nothing, and the bandits in Qingshan Village were never completely wiped out.
Every time they suppressed bandits, they were costly and exhausted. In addition, the bandits in Qingshan Village were very cautious and knew when to quit. After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Fu and Liu He did not put suppressing bandits on their agenda.
Wang Fu remained silent. Although he was nervous, he felt relieved when he thought that Lu Qing was taking care of him.
It’s just right, I can take this opportunity to see the true faces of these people.
"Master Liu, rumors are circulating in the city that your disciples have all perished. I initially doubted it, wondering how a dignified Master Liu could be unable to care for his own disciples." The Shu family's patriarch suddenly spoke up. "Today, I see you truly are a lonely man. Could it be that you haven't done enough good deeds, and the Heavenly Dao can't stand it?"
The death of his disciple had already made Liu He heartbroken, and now that his scars were exposed by the Shu family's ancestor, Liu He's face immediately turned cold.
The might of the cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building burst out, making all the cultivators present feel threatened.
It was like a giant beast blocking the way.
The ordinary people present felt suffocated.
"snort!"
The Shu family's ancestor also snorted coldly and released his own pressure to compete with Liu He.
Before his realm fell, he was also a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and he stayed in this realm longer than Liu He.
Although his Taoist foundation was damaged, the Shu family's ancestor still had some trump cards that made Liu He wary.
The most important thing is that the Shu family’s ancestor only has a few years left to live.
If he risked his life and caused Liu He to be seriously injured, Liu He would be the one who suffered.
The atmosphere was tense, and it seemed that a war might break out in the next second.
"Everyone, let's talk it out. There's no need to get angry." Tang Shuya suddenly spoke up, acting as a peacemaker. "We've been neighbors for decades. Why do you have to be like this?"
Tang Shuya tried to reconcile.
One reason is that I don’t want Wangtian Building to be demolished by these old guys.
After all, Tang Shuya is a low-key person and has good relations with all major forces. Liu He and the Shu family's ancestor tacitly withdrew their power and stopped talking.
After a confrontation, the Shu family's ancestor was defeated by Liu He.
"Fuck, why don't you fight?"
"Isn't it said that all immortal cultivators are ruthless and decisive in killing people?"
"What a shame! If we could have fought and found an opportunity to finish him off, wouldn't this experience have been ours?"
The players at the door were communicating in low voices.
Wang Fu took a sip of tea in silence and continued, "I'm not bluffing. There's no need to repeat myself. If you believe me, then believe me. If not, then just go ahead and see."
Empty city plan?
Or does Wang Fu really have the confidence?
Shu Fulin and Ding Gang exchanged glances, while Lady Hua scanned the crowd, looking at the handsome young men. The Chang family's patriarch closed his eyes, meditating, and remained silent. Chang Wu, however, kept sizing up Wang Fu, trying to discern whether his words were true or false.
"City Lord Wang, I'll unveil this." Ding Gang stood up and walked to the center. "Everyone knows that the Dongxing City caravan is about to arrive. This is an opportunity, but also a threat."
"Although we are both from Bei'an City and have been together for so long, if there are conflicts of interest, it is also a family matter."
"But this external force cannot be ignored."
"I just want to know, if the Dongxing caravan turns hostile, do you, Wang Fu, have the ability to hold it together?"
"If you can hold on, then tell me the truth. I, Old Ding, will never betray you."
"If you can't do it, then don't try to trick us. Life isn't easy for anyone these days. We all have families to support."
"I believe that the Shu family, the Chang family, this woman, and everyone here should all agree with me, right?"
As soon as Ding Gang said this, everyone whispered to each other and nodded in agreement.
Only the Shu family's ancestor sneered, causing Shu Fulin, who wanted to agree, to freeze in his seat.
"Rely on him? Rely on Liu He?" The Shu family patriarch said disdainfully, "The leader of the Dongxing City caravan this time is the Second Fire Immortal, a genuine Void Core cultivator! Even if all the cultivators in our room were combined, we wouldn't be enough to defeat them. I advise you to face reality."
"Don't be greedy for the position of city lord. Not only will you get yourself killed, but you will also bring trouble to everyone else!"
Xudan overhaul!
The monks present changed color when they heard the sound.
Although ordinary people could not understand, judging from the reactions of the monks present, this Second Fire Immortal was obviously someone who could control their life and death.
