3943 Reaching the Peak(2/2)
"What do you think their most likely purpose is?" the city lord asked.
"I can't tell it now, but I guess some people want to fish in troubled waters after this auction ends."
The Holy City Immortal Master said in a deep voice: "There are also some people who don't want to leave. They want to wait for next year's auction. Anyway, it's only one year. There's no need to move to another place and spend all their time on the road."
"kindness."
The city lord felt a little headache and said to the immortal master: "You can arrange it and let the people in the city lord's palace win over these powerful people. It would be a good thing if we can get closer to the city lord's palace."
"Well, I have already arranged it." The Holy City Immortal Master nodded.
The city lord said happily: "Thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."
"yes."
The Holy City Immortal Master left first, leaving only the city lord sitting in the pavilion with a headache.
"With the current situation, it seems that I really have to retreat bravely, and more and more powerful people will rush to the Holy City of the South Wind."
The city lord murmured to himself, feeling helpless. He had been the Holy Lord here for twelve hundred years. It was impossible not to have feelings for this place. Now he had to find a way to leave.
He took out a silver token, the size of a palm, about the same size as a mirror.
After thinking about it, he poured a drop of his own blood into the mirror, and then the mirror token flashed. After a while, a light curtain appeared on the mirror, and on the other side was a silver-haired old man.
"What's the matter?" The silver-haired old man opened his eyes slightly, and he was now in his retreat room.
It seems that he hasn't woken up much yet, and his eyes are still half-dazzled.
"Old City Lord..."
Holy Lord Nanfeng thought for a while and then said: "Junior, I have something to ask of you..."
"oh?"
This old city lord is none other than the old city lord of Heluo Divine City, the superior city of Nanfeng Holy City.
It was he who single-handedly promoted the city lord of Nanfeng Holy City and made him the city lord back then.
"Please forgive me, Old City Lord. This junior wants you to resign as Lord of this Holy City, and I ask Old City Lord to fulfill your wish."
The Lord of the Holy City half knelt down and saluted the old Lord of the Holy City of Heluo.
"Are you going to abdicate?"
The old city lord seemed not to have expected it: "Why did you make this decision? Did you encounter any trouble?"
"No, it's just that the Holy City of Nanfeng is too important. I have been here for twelve hundred years and am already very satisfied." The Lord of the Holy City said.
The old city lord raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "It seems that today is the Nanshang auction, right?"
"Well, old City Lord, you still remember." The Holy City Lord nodded.
"What happened?" the old city lord asked.
The Lord of the Holy City answered truthfully: "A lot of good things came out, including a fairy sword, a fairy baby, and many unparalleled treasures."
The old city lord was not too surprised, but said in a deep voice: "Is this why you want to quit?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the old city lord."
The Lord of the Holy City expressed his concerns: "Now that the Immortal Road has reopened, the Nanshang Auction in Nanfeng Holy City has become the most important event on the Immortal Road."
"In such an important place, I am afraid that I will not be able to cope with it due to my low cultivation level..." the Lord of the Holy City said.
"But what happened this time?" the old city lord asked, "If you have anything, you can tell me directly."
"this time……"
The Lord of the Holy City paused, but thought that he might not be able to hide it from the Old City Lord, so he told the Old City Lord what happened at the auction.
After hearing this, the old city lord also frowned and said solemnly: "These worms on the Immortal Road have really ruined the reputation of the Immortal Road..."
"Don't worry about this, I will take care of it myself." The old city lord seemed to have amazing strength.
The Lord of the Holy City said: "Please ask the old Lord to help the younger generation, and choose another wise man to take on this important task."
"I'll wait until I figure this out before we talk about it."
The old city lord did not immediately agree to him, but immediately started to make calculations.
Then the old city lord, with a strange look in his eyes, said to the city lord of the Holy City: "You can continue to be the city lord of Nanfeng Holy City. After ten more years, I will let you go. I will do whatever you want."
."
"this……"
The Lord of the Holy City did not expect that the old City Lord would calculate such an answer.
"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. You can go wherever you want in ten years. I will arrange everything you need for you."
The old city lord did not allow the Holy City lord to discuss the matter any more. Although the Holy City lord was a little embarrassed, he still had no choice but to cut off contact with the old city lord thanks to Xie En.
"Hey, the old city lord must have figured something out. It only takes me ten years..."
The Lord of the Holy City was a little helpless, wondering why the old Lord had such a result.
He will definitely know what is going on here right away, and it seems that he knows the origins of Xuan Moxian and his gang, and denounces them as worms on the path to immortality.
Originally, the things that appeared in these auctions were given by the Immortal Road to countless powerful people on the Immortal Road. Those who have the opportunity can naturally obtain these things.
However, some worms within the Immortal Road have some shady methods to know some inside information, and then attack people at the auction to directly rob these immortal objects.
These are all shameful means. They shouldn't have done this, but they are now confident.
"Ten years, ten more years to come..."
"Now that the old city lord has forgotten it, maybe there won't be any danger in the next ten years, and he won't harm me."
The Lord of the Holy City murmured to himself, since he had decided to stay in office for another ten years, he naturally had to tell his wife.
He left the pavilion and headed outside his woman's room, only to find that a magic circle and seal had been placed here, making it impossible for him to enter for a while.
"Hey, it seems that Po'er is tired too."
The Lord of the Holy City has no idea of his wife's true identity. If he saw her, he would probably vomit blood and die.
He didn't think much and went to his room to rest.
"It's a pity that this city lord is a nice person, but he was deceived..."
Ye Chu and Bai Langma were also in the pavilion just now and heard the conversation between the city lord and the old city lord.
Naturally, I also knew about the conversation between this city lord and the Immortal Master of the Holy City, and knew that this guy would be the Lord of the Holy City for another ten years.
The two left the city lord's mansion. It was already bright, but there were not many lights at this time.
Not going back to the courtyard for the time being, Ye Chu and Bai Langma found a high-end hotel and asked for the most luxurious room here, which was somewhat similar to their suite on earth.
After the two took a bath, they sat down in the living room here. Bai Langma guessed: "Eldest brother, the old city lord, is he a member of the Tiansuanzi family? If you just count with your fingers, you can figure out what happened?"
"That old city lord is not simple..."
Ye Chu also nodded and said: "The two we met in Nanshang Village before were very powerful, much more powerful than the lords of the fairy city we met in Heyang Fairy City before."
"But this old city lord is just the former lord of a sacred city, but he doesn't seem to take him seriously. This old city lord is not simple." Ye Chu frowned and said, "As for whether he is from the lineage of Tiansuanzi, that's it.
I don’t know. People who can predict the future are not necessarily from the Tiansuanzi lineage. There are many descendants of the bloodline in the world who have this ability."
"Brother, when you said that, I really remembered it."
White Wolf Ma said suddenly: "I saw the old city lord's right ear just now, and it seemed a little weird."
"eccentric?"
Ye Chu didn't quite understand. After thinking about it carefully, the old city lord's right ear seemed to be longer than ordinary people.
"Well, the old city lord's left ear is normal, but his right ear is long and slender."
Bai Langma recalled: "His right ear is at least half as long as his left ear, and the width is about the same, but it is very close to his head..."
"The right ear is longer, what's the point?" Ye Chu frowned, it was indeed the case. I always felt something was wrong with the old city lord just now, but now that I think about it, it seems that the right ear is too long.
The left ear is relatively normal, but the right ear is twice as long as the left ear, which is indeed a bit uncoordinated.
"According to legend, there is a kind of astrology master whose right ear is twice as long as his left ear..."
Bai Langma said with solemn eyes: "They are called Star Evil Masters..."
"Star Evil Master?"
Ye Chu seemed to have thought about it: "You mean, the legendary star evil master who uses stars as evil spirits and manipulates stars to make stars?"
"Well, he is from this family."
Bai Langma was shocked and said: "I never thought that there is such a lineage of people in the world. Now think about it, this old city lord is most likely a descendant of the lineage of Xingsha Master. The style of the ears is very similar to the description of Xingsha Master.
Looks like it."
"kindness."
Ye Chu also nodded: "If it is really the Star Evil Master, maybe he does have talent and inheritance for the art of divination."
"Brother, has he counted that we have appeared here?" Bai Langma was a little worried, "It is rumored that this lineage of Xingsha masters is not only amazing at the art of stars, but also often has descendants from their sect.
