In the tower.

A middle-aged man stood in front of the window, looking around, his face calm.

This person has a square face, a very long hands and feet, and can be said to have a clear bone shape. His eyes are often flashing light. He is a practitioner of the Tribulation Realm.

"City Lord, someone asks for a meeting!"

The sergeant walked in quickly and bowed.

The city lord did not turn around, "Who, what's the matter?"

The soldier responded, "Three people said they were from the Wen family in Wenting Mountain. They had great wealth and honor to offer to the city lord. Two of them were not afraid of it, but one of them could not tell the level of cultivation and did not dare to be good at it, so they came to repay the city lord."

“Great wealth…”

The city lord looked a little deep, but in a blink of an eye, the person was no longer there.

The sergeant was stuck and hurriedly followed him out.

In front of the city gate.

The guards are extremely strict here, with three defense lines, trenches and spear formations, and dozens of soldiers guarding each defense line.

In front of the front line of defense, Zhou Shu stood with his hands behind his back, with a leisurely expression. Wen Yiyuan and Wen Ning stood on the side, very respectful. The soldiers on the opposite side were nervous. They were all cultivators who could see that they were just the other two, but Zhou Shu's strength was unfathomable. The powerful aura was probably not as good as the city lord.

"Is it the city lords of other cities here to grab the city?"

Most of them have this idea. Such things are common in the Wutao Realm. Major cities face more than just corpses and increasingly harsh environments.

There are also the same practitioners.

"Haha, it's a great time to have a distinguished guest coming!"

The city lord walked out quickly and bowed from afar, with a gentle look on his face, "I am Zheng Ding, the city lord of Tianxing City, and I have seen several of them."

"Lord Zheng is too humble."

Zhou Shu raised his hand and returned the greeting, "Wenshu, the elder of the Wen family in Wenting Mountain, these are Wen Yiyuan and Wen Ning."

Zheng Ding nodded, his lips slightly sank, and a trace of doubt appeared, "I think it's been a long time since I'm looking down, I guess fellow Taoist Wen must have been in seclusion. I've heard of the name of the leader of Wen Yiyuan, but I have never heard of fellow Taoist."

Zhou Shu smiled faintly, "No, it's four thousand years of retreat, but it's very boring."

"Four thousand years, fellow Taoist is really..." Zheng Ding stopped and then smiled, "No wonder he has such a high level of cultivation, I am ashamed of being inferior to him."

"I dare not, I dare not, compared with the city lord, it is still a lot worse."

Zhou Shu shook his head and said thoughtfully, "Master Zheng, why not go to the city to speak?"

Zheng Ding smiled, "It's okay to go into the city, but you still have to pay the expenses to enter the city. This is the rule of Tianxing City. Rules are rules, and no one can violate them. Even I have to pay them. Moreover, with the ability of a fellow Taoist, you can just hunt a monster and live for a long time. It's not difficult."

"Rules are rules, good."

Zhou Shu laughed, "So I specially sent a great wealth to cooperate with the city lord's rules."

Zheng Ding stroking his beard and said with satisfaction, "Fellow Taoist mercy! I wonder what kind of wealth it is?"

Zhou Shu glanced around and said, "Just say it here?"

Zheng Ding nodded, looked around, and said with a sigh, "It's okay, I, Zheng Ding, are one with Tianxing Army. You don't have to hide anything from them. You have to bear the hardships together. If you have great wealth, of course, everyone will share it with you, and you won't be left alone."

The soldiers behind him looked over together, with a keen look, and seemed extremely happy.

Zhou Shu didn't feel secretly praised him. Although he didn't know the city lord, it was rare to say that. It was no wonder that he could command such a big city. He laughed unconsciously and said in a deep voice, "Zheng City Lord, I found a quicksand black well around Tianxing City."

Zheng Ding's face suddenly changed, but it was not joy, but anger, "Haha, did you come here to have fun on purpose? The Liusha Hei Well outside Tianxing City is just 100,000 miles east of the city. Who doesn't know about it? This is what fellow Taoist calls great wealth?"

Staring at Zhou Shu, his eyes were very bad, and the soldiers behind him also took a step forward and glared at each other.

“What’s the situation?”

Wen Yiyuan was shocked and his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Zhou Shu very loudly, but Wen Ning didn't move, looking back coldly, without any fear.

Zhou Shu looked calm, "I thought I didn't explain it clearly. The quicksand black well can be explored at any time and use the resources inside."

"What?"

Zheng Ding was shocked and sneered, "Can you use it casually, can you kill that corpse king?"

"Impossible?"

"How is that possible? Even if the whole city works together, it cannot be killed!"

"Last time Heiyun City and Canggou City joined forces, but most of them died. The corpse king was not damaged at all, and the two cities were also killed..."

"Yes, I'm from Canggou City. I escaped by chance. The Corpse King is not something we can deal with at all."

"This clan elder is so swearing. I might believe it. I can just tell you such a lie at will?"

The soldiers behind him shook their heads one after another.

Zhou Shu looked at him with a smile, and immediately understood the whole story.

Just around Tianxing City, how could it be that there was no knowledge of the existence of the Liusha Heijing here? They didn't dare to go, just because of the corpse king there. Now that Zhou Shu said such words, he was naturally shocked and unbelievable. Wen Yiyuan shouldn't have known about these things in advance, nor did he deliberately hide them from them.

He said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you will know if you go there."

Zheng Ding showed a hint of contemplation and stared at Zhou Shu, his face gradually became colder, "It would be too ridiculous to let me go with you in one word, right? Is it because fellow Taoist wants to occupy this city and plans to use the trick of diversion from the mountain first?"

This can be said to be very straightforward. Zhou Shu couldn't help laughing. What did he want this city to do?

"What are you laughing at with fellow Taoists?"

This smile made Zheng Ding even more nervous, and the soldiers behind him surrounded him and were about to launch them at all times.

Zhou Shu put away his smile and shook his head secretly. Everyone in the Wutao world is extremely sensitive. No wonder people can always fight to the death for resources. In this environment, it is not easy for each other to gain a little trust, but Zhou Shu has to do this and find a way to gain trust.

Although this world is about to wither, it has many advantages, and it is worth spending time and energy.

After thinking about it, Zhou Shu took out something, "Can the city lord recognize this thing?"

Zheng Ding stared at Zhou Shu's hand and couldn't help but retreat. He was so shocked that his face froze and his words were intermittent.

"This...is this...are the corpse blood soul?"

He was not the only one who was shocked. The soldiers' faces turned pale. They then retreated and turned their heads at the same time, not daring to look at them too much. Wen Yiyuan was not much better. He looked at Zhou Shu's hands in a daze, shaking like a sieve.

Zhou Shu looked at them and seemed to have some enlightenment, but he didn't speak.

The blood and soul of the corpse should be the name of this thing. The specific function remains to be examined, but for practitioners in the Wutao Realm, this thing is mostly harmful.

I originally wanted to be evidence, but I didn't want other effects.

Zhou Shu immediately closed his hand, "What do the city lord think?"

Zheng Dingshen took a breath and raised his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist killed the corpse king and solved the big problem for Tianxing City. Zheng was very grateful, but fellow Taoist could throw away the blood spirit of the corpse king quickly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
