C3355 Presumptuous(part I)
In reality, he had also received the news that one of his trusted subordinates had returned from the Ten Thousand Wheel King's palace.
However, the envoy of the Wave Valley City was still here, so he couldn't just leave him there. He decided to receive him first before going to see his trusted subordinate.
Now it seemed that the culprit that the other party was talking about was his trusted aide?
The more the mayor of Gu Mei City thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.
"Why don't you allow me to ask about this matter?"
The city lord of the Gu Mei City said.
"Ask? Could it be that the city lord feels that there can be any misunderstanding in this matter?"
The envoy from the Valley Wave City sneered and said.
"But, don't forget, this is our Gu Mei City... It isn't up to you to teach me about how to do things!"
The city lord of the Gu Mei City said indifferently: "Of course, if you really want my guidance, it's not impossible. It's just that you need the city lord of the Po Gu City to come here in person, what do you think?"
"City Lord of Gu Mei City, you..."
The Bo Gu City's envoy was momentarily at a loss for words as he spoke.
However, this was indeed the case.
He indeed wanted to be aggressive, but in truth, the city lord of Gu Mei City didn't fall for this trick. Even if he forced him, it would be useless.
This was Gu Mei City. If he was truly forced into a corner, he would not be able to gain any advantage even if he started fighting.
He was here to take care of the affairs of the city, but he didn't want to die here.
"So what if it's me?"
The city lord of Gu Mei City coldly replied, and then he immediately said: "If you are unwilling to accept this, then you can scram back to your Bo Gu City right now."
"Good, good, good!"
The Bo Gu City's emissary was so angry that he laughed, and said: "Then I'll just wait and see how you will deal with this matter!"
"Then you will wait and see."
After saying this, the mayor of Gu Mei City immediately sent someone to call for his confidantes.
Because of this matter, he only needed to ask his confidant to clearly understand.
In fact, on the other hand, his trusted aides already knew that something bad had happened.
When he returned, he happened to know that the Bo Valley City had sent someone over.
Sending people over at this time was undoubtedly to investigate the matter of the disappearance of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect's cultivators.
Therefore, before the City Lord could send someone over to inquire about it, he had already signaled Chu Yan and the others to calm down.
"Everyone, rest for the time being. I will go and talk to the City Lord about something."
The trusted aide of the Gu Mei City Lord said.
Naturally, Chu Yan and the others would not object.
Just as the trusted aide of the Gu Mei City Lord left the house, he met the people sent by the City Lord and understood what was going on. He immediately left to meet with the City Lord.
"City Lord..."
When the trusted aide saw the city lord of Gu Mei City, he hurriedly went up and said: "City lord, did the people from Bo Gu City come here because of the matter of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect?"
"Oh? It seems that you know... That's right, they sent people here to investigate the disappearance of the team."
"Of course. Based on my understanding of them, there is a high chance that there is a big problem with this matter. It should be them who made the first move, right? However, we did get what they wanted, and we shouldn't have any evidence that they did it..."
"After all, such a thing has happened so many times. It is not something to be surprised about. Humph. I just didn't expect that they would make a big deal about it this time... It seems that you have got a good treasure in the Valley of Bo!"
The city lord of Gu Mei City chuckled and said: "Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here with such a great fanfare to look for someone."
That's right. There were many ghost cultivators in this world, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect was not the only one.
However, the treasures of some rogue cultivators and ghost cultivators were usually very ordinary, and they didn't have any characteristics. There were even quite a lot of them in the Gu Mei City's market, and without too many characteristics, who would believe that the items belonged to the Ten Thousand Ghost Clan or the Wave Valley City?
Therefore, this time, the Bo Gu City most likely had concrete evidence.
But so what?
Don't forget that this place was the Gu Mei City, not the Bo Gu City!
The people of the Wave Valley City didn't have the qualifications to cause trouble here!
"That's right, what is the result of this trip. Tell me."
The City Lord of the Gu Mei City got back to the main topic and said.
That's right, the thing he was most concerned about at the moment was how things were going.
This matter was related to his former master, the Ten Thousand Wheel King, so he could not be careless!
In particular, he didn't know whether the Ten Thousand Wheel King was dead or not.
Hence, he sent this team.
Now that his trusted aide had returned, this matter should have a conclusion!
Regardless of whether it was a good result or a bad one, he only wanted a result. That was enough.
Hearing this, the Gumei City Lord's trusted aide immediately became spirited and reported the results of this operation to the Gumei City Lord.
When he found out about the fact that the Ten Thousand Wheel King was still alive, the Gu Mei City Lord's expression was as unsightly as it could be!
After all, he had betrayed the Ten Thousand Wheel King and exchanged for everything he had now.
Now, the Ten Thousand Wheel King was actually still alive... How could he not eat and sleep in peace!?
"The Ten Thousand Wheel King... is actually not dead?"
The city lord's expression was as dark as water as he spoke.
"That's right, but there was a turn of events later on..."
When the trusted aide narrated the events of that time, he had also added a lot of gloss to the scene.
Of course, the main force was still Chu Yan.
Without Chu Yan, it would be impossible for them to kill the Ten Thousand Wheel King.
However, other than Chu Yan, the one who had contributed the most was the trusted aide of the Ten Thousand Wheel King.
The Ten Thousand Wheel King's expression kept changing. It was obvious that he was also afraid that the Ten Thousand Wheel King would not die.
Even if he had already known the result in advance, the Ten Thousand Wheel King was definitely dead. Only then could his trusted subordinate safely return, but when he mentioned his former master, the Ten Thousand Wheel King, his expression still couldn't help but become serious.
Finally, when he found out that the Ten Thousand Wheel God Palace had been utterly destroyed due to the Ten Thousand Wheel King's mutual destruction, he did not obtain much of an additional reward. The most he could do was bring back the supreme treasures that the city lord of Gu Mei City needed. Only then did his expression slowly become better.
"Haah... the Ten Thousand Divine Wheel King has finally died. In that case, this matter has come to an end."
The Gu Mei City's City Lord felt relieved.
"Then the matter of the Wave Valley City..."
Then, the matter of Bo Gu City... The governor of Gu Mei City suddenly changed the subject.
"He he, Bo Gu City, Ten Thousand Ghost Sect. You should already know the relationship between them and our Gu Mei City, right? This matter will also start when we return..."
The confidant of the city lord of Gu Mei City told him the matter of that time.
The general gist of it was that the Gu Mei City's City Lord was already surrounded by spies. Knowing that they were returning, they sent people to ambush them, wanting to interfere and snatch the benefits.
