Devour the Ancient Emperor

City Lord's Mansion.

In the courtyard, two cups of steaming tea were placed on the stone table.

Wang Jian picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all. This was already eighteen cups of tea.

"City Lord, I understand what you mean, but I am powerless. Su Chen killed Sang Kun's daughter and almost destroyed the entire Shenquan Sect. Even if I give the City Lord enough face, Sang Kun will definitely not let it go."

Wang Jian was very surprised. He seemed to have not expected that the City Lord would summon him for Su Chen.

The City Lord, high above, controls the entire Baizun City. All the families must follow the City Lord's Mansion.

I have never heard that the City Lord would personally come forward for anyone.

It seems that this Su Chen is indeed not simple.

But.

He regards Sang Kun as a close friend of life and death. In the face of such a big thing, he will not stand idly by.

In other matters, he can give the City Lord enough face, but in this matter, he really has no way and cannot sit idly by.

This is also the city lord. If it were someone else, I believe Wang Jian would not give face at all and would definitely choose to attack without hesitation.

"Wang Jian, your Wang family is one of the hundred families in Baizun City, and I am the city lord of Baizun City. Your Wang family needs to listen to what I say."

"Sang Kun."

"Sang Kun is the leader of the Shenquan Sect. If he leaves Baizun City, I can't control him, but if he dares to attack in Baizun City, I will execute him on the spot according to the city rules of Baizun City."

Wang Jian was shocked when he heard this. Of course, he could hear that the city lord was definitely not joking.

How could he not feel frightened in the face of the city lord's deterrence.

Wang Jian thought about it, nodded and said: "Don't worry, city lord, Sang Kun and I will not attack in Baizun City, but if Su Chen leaves Baizun City."

"His life and death, the city lord's mansion will not ask."

Wang Jian stood up and said: "Then I will leave first."

After Wang Jian left.

Duanmu Qin walked out slowly and said, "Dad, Wang Jian obviously has ulterior motives. Over the years, the Wang family and the Xiao family have been very close."

How could Duanmu Yuan not understand his daughter's meaning? He also wanted to take charge of Baizun City alone and didn't want any family to provoke the City Lord's Mansion.

"Dad, if this continues, our City Lord's Mansion will be very passive. It is better to take the initiative. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king. As long as we suppress the Xiao family, other families will not dare to have any evil intentions."

"Easier said than done."

"Dad, what are you worried about?"

"Xiao Jing."

"Xiao Family Ancestor?"

Duanmu Qin was more and more confused and said, "Xiao Family Ancestor Xiao Jing is only the eighth-level Danyun Tianzun. With Dad's peak Danyun Tianzun realm, he should be able to suppress him."

There is a difference of two ranks, and she believes in her father.

I really can't understand why her father is so afraid of Xiao Family Ancestor.

A sigh!

Duanmu Yuan said helplessly: "With a simple realm gap, I can definitely suppress him smoothly, but he has a Chongyu Peak in his hand, which is extremely domineering. He can even tie with me by relying on Chongyu Peak. If not, his Xiao family would not have endured until now."

Ah?

Hearing her father's words, Duanmu Qin was stunned. She couldn't understand why her father didn't take action, but she didn't expect that it was this reason.

No wonder the Xiao family dared to act recklessly and even win over the major families. It turned out that they relied on the ancestor of the Xiao family, that is, death. If the ancestor of the Xiao family is not eliminated, it will be difficult to suppress the Xiao family.

Duanmu Qin even asserted that if the ancestor of the Xiao family cannot be suppressed, once the City Lord's Mansion and the Xiao family choose to go to war, they may not be able to suppress the Xiao family, and even both sides will suffer.

At that time, the major families will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, and the consequences will be disastrous if the City Lord's Mansion cannot deter them.

"Dad, what should we do now?"

If the stalemate continues, it will not be good for the City Lord's Mansion. The Xiao family will become more and more presumptuous. This is the reality.

The more you give in, the more he will press you step by step until you have no way to retreat.

"I need to find a way to restrain the heavy prison peak, or break through to the half-step emperor realm. Otherwise, I can't kill Xiao Jing by force. However, Xiao Jing dare not act rashly without a breakthrough, so there is no need to worry for the time being."

Duanmu Qin could feel that his father said it easily, but in fact he must have smelled the seriousness of the matter.

"Dad, I will go to Su Chen to see if he really killed Sang Kun."

Su Chen alone would definitely not be able to kill Sang Kun. The realm gap between the two was huge, and they were not at the same level at all.

But Duanmu Qin knew very well that with the help of Camel, Su Chen had a good chance of successfully killing Sang Kun.

If others did so, the City Lord's Mansion would definitely intervene and ask.

But this was Su Chen's doing. She had discussed with her father that the City Lord's Mansion would not interfere in the feud between Sang Kun and Su Chen, as long as it did not cause widespread panic in Baizun City.

"Although Camel is at the peak of the Great Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm, it is not easy to kill Sang Kun. I don't believe that Camel will really choose to take action for Su Chen."

"Dad, you don't believe Camel?"

"Well, Camel is a person who only recognizes things, not friendship. As long as you can pay enough, Camel will choose to take action. To make Camel take action to kill Heavenly Venerable, Su Chen needs to pay a lot."

Duanmu Qin nodded. She understood what her father meant. Deep down, she didn't believe that Luotuo could successfully kill Sang Kun, but for some reason, she always felt that Su Chen could do it.

When Duanmu Qin walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, she happened to meet Su Chen.

"Su Chen?"

"Miss Duanmu."

Looking at Su Chen standing in front of her intact, Duanmu Qin asked impatiently: "Have you finished your business?"

Finished, or just didn't have time to do it.

Of course, Su Chen understood what Duanmu Qin wanted to ask, and didn't hide anything. After all, the fact that Sang Kun was killed by him couldn't be concealed at all, and there was no need to hide it.

Su Chen said openly: "Yes, I used the formation to trap Sang Kun, and Senior Luotuo finally killed Sang Kun."

It seems that his intuition is correct. Su Chen and Luotuo did successfully kill Sang Kun together. The leader of the Shenquan Sect never thought that he would fall in Baizun City until his death.

A great Tianzun strongman fell when he said he would fall.

"Come with me."

Sang Kun's death could be a big deal or a small matter. Duanmu Qin knew that given the relationship between Wang Jian and Sang Kun, Wang Jian would definitely not let it go once he learned of Sang Kun's death.

In the courtyard.

When Duanmu Yuan heard that Sang Kun had died, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Luotuo would really choose to kill Sang Kun for Su Chen. With Luotuo's personality, he was very curious about what kind of reward Su Chen would give to make Luotuo do so.
