man:"?"
The man was at a loss for words: "You want to kill the city lord?"
“That’s right, we were just testing you just now,” Tian Ning said without hesitation. “Our true identities are actually sent by the Wang family head to find Wang Sheng’an! After we find him, we’ll bring him back to replace the city lord. Of course, if we encounter the city lord still alive along the way, we’ll send him on his way!”
Long Aotian: "..."
man:"……"
"Are you telling the truth?" the man asked, looking at her suspiciously.
Tian Ning, fully immersed in the role, said, "City Lord, even if you have sacrificed so much for Snow City, once you've grown powerful and ascended to a high position, you've abandoned the Wang family. You are truly ungrateful! Today, you deserve to die!"
Having said that, she was about to take action immediately.
"No, don't kill me!"
Feeling a sharp pain in his neck, the man cried out, "I'm not the city lord! I'm Wang Shengan! I'm Wang Shengan!"
Tian Ning looked completely unconvinced: "I never expected you, City Lord, to be so cunning, even impersonating your own brother! But don't think you can fool me!"
Sensing the other party's murderous intent, Wang Shengan hurriedly proved his identity: "Wang Lang is long dead! If you don't believe me, come with me, I'll take you to see his corpse. You, you... put your sword away first..."
Tian Ning didn't sheath his sword and said impatiently, "Don't try any tricks. If you can't prove it, I'll kill you right now!"
Wang Shengan: "Okay, okay... I'll take you there like this."
Long Aotian: "..."
As expected of the junior sister, she turned the tide with just a few words.
Wang Shengan led them into the cave.
The walls inside the cave were made entirely of ice and snow crystals. Wang Shengan did not stop, but the three of them could see from afar that a section of the snow crystal wall had cracked.
Surprisingly, a person was standing at the crack, using their body to block the green liquid that was trying to seep out. The person not only had the same build as Wang Shengan, but also the same face.
The man's face was pale, clearly indicating that he had been dead for a long time.
But what was even more unbelievable was that Tianning and Long Aotian saw that small areas of skin on the man's body—below his left eye, on his right arm, on his right ear, and so on—had turned into blue, icy crystals.
Therefore, the origin of everything in Snow City may well be the Ice Crystal.
Tian Ning and Long Aotian fell into deep thought and did not notice the wooden sign standing in front of the man's body.
Wang Shengan pointed to the wooden plaque and said, "Look, this is the tomb of City Lord Wang Lang... It was that beast who tormented me who forced me to erect it. But it wasn't erected in vain; at least it proves my identity!"
"And you've seen his body, so you should believe me now, right?"
"Stop wasting time, take me away right now, or we'll be finished if that beast notices something's wrong!"
The three of them showed no sign of leaving.
Long Aotian asked, "Who is this beast you're talking about?"
"I've already said I'm Wang Sheng'an, why are you asking any other questions..."
Halfway through his sentence, Wang Shengan noticed the serious expressions on their faces. Even if he wasn't the sharpest of them, he could tell something was wrong: "Who exactly are you people?"
"Six Sects," Tian Ning said succinctly, "we will do everything we can to get you out, and you must tell us everything you know."
Upon realizing he had been deceived, Wang Shengan's attitude changed instantly: "Go out with the people from your six sects, and then what? Accept your so-called righteous judgment?"
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm not that stupid. I'd rather escape one danger than fall into another!"
Even if he confesses what he did behind the scenes, the Six Sects will still not let him go after he gets out!
