Chapter 1256 The City Lord's Troubles
However, he personally promised Wu Ji that he would return to the Eternal Life Palace after three months to help her deal with the people in the Silver Dragon Palace, so Ye Feng had to jump even though he knew it was a big hole. Situ Reading
М
He doesn't want to be someone who breaks his promise.
"I have a good idea about this matter. City Lord, please rest assured that I will never implicate the City Lord's Mansion." Ye Feng held up his hand with a determined expression.
The worst possible thing is to walk away. When Shenwu becomes great, he will always have his own place.
He has made no contribution to Starlight City. By doing this, the Lord of Starlight City has taken good care of him. Ye Feng does not want to become a burden to the City Lord's Mansion.
Hearing this, Star City Lord's face became even more tired, and he sighed: "Ye Feng, it's not that I don't want to keep you, it's just that the City Lord's Mansion... is currently in a precarious situation, so if I force you to stay, I'm afraid you will have to stay. You've been delayed."
"Huh? Lord City Lord...what do you mean by this?"
Surprised, Ye Feng asked hurriedly.
The City Lord's Mansion is the spokesperson for the Tianning County royal family to govern Starlight City. Even if the three factions of Extreme Fire Castle are stronger than the City Lord's Mansion, they will never dare to do anything to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hey...it's also my fault that I have a stubborn temper. I have never bothered to curry favor with the powerful people in the city. I only relied on my own methods to get to the position of city lord. However, due to the limitations of my martial arts talent, my martial arts journey in this life will probably come to a halt. In the semi-holy realm.”
"Ning Shentong of Extreme Fire Castle has always coveted the position of city lord in the past, but his cultivation level is slightly inferior to that of me, so he has to hold it back forcefully."
Speaking of this, the Star City Lord showed a bit of bitterness on his face, and his eyes showed regret, "When the three parties attacked the White Tiger Gate, I was trapped by something and couldn't stop it in time, otherwise... I have the White Tiger in my starlight. The city checks and balances the three factions, but they can't make too big a splash, it's a pity..."
"The Lord of the City acted openly and aboveboard, so there is no need to blame himself." Ye Feng said in relief.
"That's what I said, but now the White Tiger Gate has been wiped out by the three factions, and Bai Hucheng's whereabouts are unknown. The three factions no longer have much fear in our city lord's mansion. I received the news that Ning Shentong met with a high-ranking official in the city this time With the relationship, as long as the time is right, it is very possible to covet the position of city lord. "
"Then the three factions will join forces, and there will be an order to go to the city. Before I can react, the Lord of Starlight City will be replaced..."
Star City Lord's voice was a little tired as he continued speaking sentence by sentence. Although he had one or two supporters in the upper city, he was in the open and the other party was in the dark. No one knew when the three factions of Extreme Fire Castle would take over, so they were naturally at a disadvantage.
The embarrassing thing is that the strength of the Lord of Yixing City is currently powerless against the three factions.
Like a wake-up call, Ye Feng suddenly understood. No wonder Mo Gaokun dared to say, "The city lord is not incapable of changing people." There was something hidden inside, and I'm afraid he already knew it.
It is even possible that Ding Mo knew the conspiracy of the three factions.
After thinking about this, Ye Feng pondered for a while, and then slowly told the Lord of Star City all the information he heard from Mo Gaokun and others.
Bang!
The more he listened, the uglier the Star City Lord's face became. Suddenly, the tea cup in his hand exploded to pieces. The tea evaporated into a burst of light steam, and a wild and powerful momentum burst out from his thin body. .
Ye Feng was startled and quickly took a few steps back before he could steady himself.
"I see!"
"Hmph... It turns out that they couldn't hold it back for a long time and have secretly launched an offensive? To bribe the stewards of my city lord's mansion? Humph, it turned out that they had a good plan."
Suddenly, the slightly tired old man disappeared, and the person standing in front of Ye Feng once again became the aloof Starlight City Lord, majestic and inviolable.
Lights flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, the Lord of Star City pressed his palm on the table and said coldly: "Ye Feng, you don't have to leave, just let the Shui Tribe come in force. I want to see, even if you marry the Shui Tribe, in Starlight City, Who can make big waves?"
"I would like to take this opportunity to see in the entire Starlight City who is of the same mind as me and who is working against me and causing trouble secretly..."
this……
The Star City Lord wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and put on a big show. It was obvious that the small tricks secretly made by the three factions had completely ignited the anger that the Star City Lord had accumulated over the years.
A semi-holy realm.
This is a tiger that has been sleeping for many years. Once it wakes up, no one knows what will happen.
"I'll... just accompany the Lord of the City to sing this play..."
Ye Feng happily agreed, and then turned to remind: "Na Ding Mo, City Lord, you must pay special attention."
"Eating everything inside and outside... let him live first, and when the big thing comes up, I will settle the old accounts with him properly!"
The Lord of Star City, who had regained some of his composure, had resentment in his eyes. After raising and cultivating Ding Mo for so many years, all he got was repaying kindness with hatred, which would make anyone extremely angry.
However, we can't attack Ding Mo at the moment, lest we startle the enemy.
"Okay, you go down first... I have some things to deal with these days, so I don't have time to pay too much attention to you."
"Ye Feng, be careful yourself." Star City Lord frowned, looking a little irritable.
Ye Feng, who had cupped his hands, did not immediately turn around and leave. Instead, he tentatively asked in a low voice: "What kind of trouble has the city lord encountered? I wonder if I can help the city lord solve his worries?"
In Ye Feng's impression, the Lord of Star City always had the attitude of a master who did not change his color even when the mountains collapsed before his eyes. He was rarely like this today.
The anger just now was certainly related to the three sects and Ding Mo's betrayal, but the sadness hanging between his eyebrows seemed to be another trouble.
The Star City Lord was silent, and wanted to speak, but then he sighed again.
This matter, even a half-saint strongman himself was helpless, what else could a mere virtual realm warrior come up with?
"Forget it, you should go down and practice with concentration, this matter... you can't help."
"If the city lord trusts me, you might as well tell me." Ye Feng did not give up. This was not because he wanted to show off his power deliberately, but because he had received too much favor from the Star City Lord, he just wanted to do his best to repay one or two.
Seeing Ye Feng's persistence, the Star City Lord smiled bitterly and replied helplessly: "There are some problems with the guardian beast of my city lord's mansion. I'm afraid... it's going to fall."
"Guardian beast? What level of exotic beast is this? There is such a thing?"
Ye Feng was slightly startled, and his heart suddenly became interested.
Before this, he had never heard of any guardian beast.
"A hundred years ago, by chance, I captured a Star-Moon Beast in an ancient secret realm. Because I had some connection with it, I took it back to the City Lord's Mansion for care. Later... it became the guardian beast of this city."
"The Star-Moon Beast will transform once every period of time, just like the phoenix nirvana. After each transformation, it will become more powerful. Of course, because of this, this process is also a matter of life and death. If it can't survive, it will die..."
Following the words of the Star City Lord, Ye Feng wondered: "Could it be... that the day of the Star-Moon Beast's transformation has come recently?"
"Yes, it has lasted for several days... Alas, this time, I'm afraid it can't survive."
The face of the Star City Lord was full of reluctance. After hundreds of years of getting along, the Star-Moon Beast has become a close friend in his long life.
Ye Feng muttered to himself, the monster beast is always just a monster beast. Even if it has some spiritual intelligence, it is a pity to die, but since it is a guardian beast, there should be other replacements. Why does the Star City Lord worry so much?
