Chapter 706 I Don’t Know Anything
Luo Li looked at the domain lords who had their own thoughts and said nothing. She just turned her head and glanced at Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan cleared his throat, walked over, and spoke first, "I think my deputy domain master is right. Everyone, how about moving to the City Lord's Mansion? Of course, if you have other things to do, you can leave first."
This also implies that if you have other ideas, you don't need to follow.
After saying that, he looked at Tian Huang with a smile, "Tian Huang Territory Lord, please come in."
Tian Huang ordered the Deputy Territory Lord of Tian Huang Territory to calm everyone down, and then nodded solemnly, "Territory Lord Ye, please come as well."
The two of them turned around at the same time and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Luo Li and Di Xuanming ignored the domain lords behind them and followed Ye Yuan away.
The domain lords who were left behind by a few people looked at each other, glanced at their younger generation with hope on their faces, sighed, and finally followed Ye Yuan to the City Lord's Mansion.
Forget it, what is there to argue about now?
The raindrops gradually grew heavier, hitting the bluestone slabs and splashing little drops of water.
On both sides of the street, pedestrians who were unaware of the situation hurriedly took shelter from the rain, casting curious glances from time to time.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion is majestic. The vermilion door slowly opens and a group of people gradually enter. Behind the door, the lights are bright, reflecting a solemn and tense atmosphere.
The Lord of Wangyou City also knew that the situation in Wangchuan Territory was hopeless. He decisively slid to his knees and strode out to greet them. "My Lords, do you have something important to discuss?"
Tian Huang smiled gently, "You are the Lord of Wangyou City. Do you know about the good things your Territory Lord has done?"
Tian Huang's eyes were like cold stars, with a sharp edge hidden in his gentleness.
The city lord's heart trembled, sweat dripping down his forehead. He shook his head with forced composure, "I am ignorant. Please enlighten me, sir."
After saying that, he secretly glanced behind Tian Huang, and saw that those figures were all as powerful as rainbows, as if they could shake the mountains and rivers with their own strength.
These are all big shots in the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent. Could it be that the figure is really the Lord of the Dark World?
The sky of the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent is about to change drastically.
Tian Huang smiled and said, "Of course it's about you, Lord of the Wangchuan Territory, and your connection with the Dark Realm. You, Lord of Wangyou City, really don't know anything?"
The Lord of Wangyou City was a middle-aged man who looked very smooth. He hurriedly shook his head upon hearing this, lowered his head and said in fear, "I dare not participate. Although Wangyou City is the main city of Wangchuan Territory, I am only a small Lord after all. How can a small character like me know what the Territory Lord wants to do?"
Tian Huang curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, flicked his fingers, and a flash of fire instantly cut through the air and headed straight for the Lord of Wangyou City.
The city lord's face suddenly changed, and he dodged it with a flash.
Flames exploded, dust flew, and a corner of the city lord's robe was burned off, revealing the trembling body inside.
His eyes widened, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. The air around him seemed to freeze, a tense atmosphere permeated the air, and even his breathing became cautious. "Tian-Tian Huang Territory Lord! I really don't know!"
"Are you sure?" Tian Huang did not move, but a cold light flashed in her eyes. The air around her seemed to be pulled by the invisible aura around her, and it kept fluctuating.
"If you speak, I can guarantee that you will not die." She slowly raised her hand with her palm facing up. In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky above Wangyou City and thunder roared, as if the wrath of heaven had descended.
The city lord was terrified, his legs weak and he almost fell to the ground. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. The pain made him barely stay awake. "I, I..."
Luo Li curled her lips, it seemed that he really knew a lot.
She glanced sideways at Ye Yuan and raised her chin.
Ye Yuan immediately coughed lightly and said in a dignified voice, "Since the Lord of Tianhuang Territory has spoken, your life will naturally be safe. But if you still insist on being stubborn, you will end up like Xiao Yi."
The Lord of Wangyou City glanced around and saw that all the major domain lords had "kind" expressions on their faces, some were smiling, some were staring at him expressionlessly.
Luo Li tapped her fingertips lightly and said regretfully, "It seems that the City Lord is not going to tell you anymore."
Tian Huang continued, "Come here, take him..."
"I, I'll tell you!" The city lord's voice trembled and he cried. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead along with the raindrops.
The city lord's legs went weak and he fell to his knees. The rain quickly soaked his robes, clinging to his trembling body.
His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were filled with fear and despair, with a barely perceptible hint of a red light, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
He spoke in a trembling voice, "It was...it was the Territory Lord. They...they instructed me to do this..."
As he spoke, he kept glancing around, fearing that someone would suddenly attack him.
"They?" Luo Li frowned. "You mean, Xiao Yi is not the only one involved in this from Wangchuan Territory?"
The rain intensified, pouring down like a torrent, blurring the view. Luo Li's eyes were cold, and she pressed on, forcing the City Lord to curl up into a ball.
All around, the sound of wind and rain seemed particularly shrill.
The city lord's hands helplessly grasped the mud on the ground, and every struggle seemed in vain.
There was not only fear but also regret in his eyes, as if he saw countless wronged souls wandering in the rain, demanding their lives from him.
Luo Li gently lifted the city lord's chin with the tip of her sword, forcing him to look at her. "Tell me, besides Xiao Yi, who else is there?"
The Lord of Wangyou City was almost going crazy. He said anxiously, "I, I can tell you, but you have to promise that you will guarantee my safety after I tell you!"
Tian Huang lowered his eyes and said, "I, Tian Huang, am here and can protect your life. Speak."
The man lowered his head, his voice tense, "The Domain Lord would ask me to find some talented young people every once in a while and send them to the Domain Lord's Mansion..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed. The children they sent naturally told them what happened in the secret realm.
Therefore, they immediately understood what these children were being taken to do.
Xiao Yi, you really are not worthy of being the domain lord!
Seeing that the adults didn't stop him, the man swallowed and continued, "At first, I thought the Territory Lord wanted to promote some young people to the core team of Wangchuan Territory. I didn't expect that one day when I took a few children to the Territory Lord, I saw that scene..."
He seemed unwilling, or perhaps afraid, to recall. He tightly closed his eyes and continued with suppressed emotion, "I saw... the creature from the dark world devouring the child I sent away earlier, then burrowing into his flesh and transforming into another 'him' who was exactly the same."
"I'm terrified," he said absentmindedly, "That's the Dark Realm. How could it be related to the Territory Lord?"
"I ran out, trying to tell others, but the Territory Lord found me and took me back." He held his head, terrified. "He brought me to the Dark Realm monster. If I dare to tell anyone, I'll become a puppet of the Dark Realm."
