"Alas, Wang Xian, please don't mention the city lord anymore. Since the sacrifice of Eternal Night City, Lu Da has not been the city lord for a long time." Lu Da wiped away his tears, shook his bald head, and sighed.
“Yes, Buddhist disciples are not suitable to be city lords. Senior Brother Lu can build a few pagodas in the Demon Realm and personally preside over the teachings.” Hui Shuo also chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.
