"Could it be something? Just say what you want to say, don't be so hesitant!" Hearing him hesitating, his friend next to him couldn't stand it anymore and urged him.
This person is impatient, so when he sees his friend taking so long to speak, he feels a little anxious for him.
"Could it be that the seal of the rift that gave birth to the demons has loosened, and the demons inside have escaped again?" Urged by his friend, the monk finally mustered up the courage to voice out his suspicions.
"What?!"
Hearing his words, everyone at the table was so scared that they stood up from their chairs. Some of them even knocked their chairs over with too much force, making a clanging sound.
For a moment, the huge commotion here attracted the attention of everyone around, and everyone turned their eyes to them.
"He Ming, don't say such things!" Several people apologized to the other people in the store. After everyone withdrew their gaze from them, they sat down again and spoke seriously to the male cultivator who said words that frightened them too much.
When the male cultivator named He Ming heard this, he quickly nodded and admitted his mistake to everyone, "I know, but what happened recently was too strange, so I couldn't help but think too much."
In fact, he was just a little suspicious, but he also knew why everyone was so taboo, because if this news got out, it would probably cause panic in the whole city.
At this time, one of them whispered, "I think what Brother He said makes sense. The demons have been acting too abnormally recently. I have never seen so many demons. Something must have happened. So we have to inform the city lord of this discovery and ask him to send someone to check the seal. If the seal is just loose, we should reinforce it quickly. Otherwise, if the seal is broken, we will all be finished."
After hearing his words, everyone agreed. After all, this matter concerned the life and death of all mankind. Even if the facts proved that they were just overthinking, it was better than leaving it alone.
After all, if it were true, they would not be able to bear the consequences. If they could discover it earlier and make preparations earlier, perhaps the crisis could be resolved.
Several people knew the importance and urgency of the matter, so they did not delay any longer, left the teahouse and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
The cultivation base of these people is at the Jindan stage, and they are considered to be considerable figures in the entire Xingyue City, so they went to ask for an audience with the city lord, stating that they had important matters to tell the city lord, and the city lord naturally received them.
"Greetings to the City Lord!" Several people were led into the City Lord's Mansion by servants. When they saw the City Lord, they hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"There's no need to be so polite, everyone. I wonder if you have anything important to tell me?" The city lord, Li Haiming, sat at the top and looked at He Ming and others who were led in by the servants.
Four hundred years ago, the previous city lord passed away, and Li Haiming took over the position and became the new city lord.
Five hundred years have passed, and he has advanced from the early Nascent Soul stage to the Out-of-Body stage, becoming the most powerful cultivator in the entire Xingyue City.
The person facing them was a powerful cultivator in the Qiao stage, while He Ming and his companions were merely cultivators in the Jindan stage. Naturally, they did not dare to look directly into Li Haiming's eyes. They even lowered their heads a little further, for fear of bumping into the other party.
Is this the terrifying aura of a master in the Out-of-Body Stage? It really makes people feel terrified.
However, thinking that they came to the City Lord's Mansion because they did have something important to tell the City Lord, they calmed themselves down and told him all their discoveries and suspicions.
After finishing the story, several people bowed to Li Haiming and said, "Please let the Lord City Lord make the decision."
They have told everything, but they are not sure whether the city lord believes it or not.
Since becoming the city lord, Li Haiming rarely goes out, but stays in the city to guard it, so he has no idea what is happening outside.
After listening to what He Ming and others said, his expression immediately became solemn.
He had lived for nine hundred years, so he naturally knew that this matter was of great importance, so he fell into deep thought, thinking of countermeasures.
After hearing what He Ming and the others said, he came back to his senses and said to them, "You have done a good job. I have already known about this matter. I will go there in person to check the situation. You can go back first."
After hearing Li Haiming's words, He Ming and others looked at each other and then said goodbye to him.
"Then we'll take our leave."
They were just cultivators in the Jindan stage, they could not do anything about this kind of thing, they could only inform the city lord Li Haiming of the news and let him handle it.
Fortunately, their city lord took this matter very seriously and even decided to go and check it out in person. So it had nothing to do with them anymore and they could only wait for news.
Before He Ming and his companions left, Li Haiming reminded them not to tell anyone else about the matter before the matter was fully investigated, so as not to cause panic.
He Ming and his companions naturally agreed when they heard this.
They naturally know the seriousness of the matter, so they will never talk about it.
As soon as He Ming and his companions left the City Lord's Mansion, Li Haiming went straight to Lilia and the others' residence, intending to tell them about this matter.
Because he was too anxious, Li Haiming did not use paper cranes to send a message, but went to find them in person.
"Brother Li, why are you here?" Jiang was quite surprised to see Li Haiming suddenly coming to his house.
Li Haiming did not answer Jiang Yi's question, but looked around for Lilia.
However, he looked around but couldn't find Lilia, so he turned to look at Jiang Yi and asked anxiously, "Jiang Yi, where is Lilia?"
Seeing him so anxious, Jiang Yi didn't understand, but he guessed that something might have happened, otherwise Li Haiming wouldn't be so anxious.
