Hearing Xuanyuan Ling's words, the City Lord was instantly stunned. His face turned pale, and his back was instantly soaked in sweat.
He had always thought that he had performed well, but he never thought that Xuanyuan Ling would suspect him like that.
He did not know what he had done wrong to make Xuanyuan Ling suspect him.
He did not seem to have given himself away. Could it be that the Great Messenger was testing him?
That's right, he was definitely testing him. After the initial nervousness of the attack, the City Lord quickly realized that Xuanyuan Ling was testing him.
Because from the looks of it, Xuanyuan Ling did not have any evidence.
Moreover, those who had been in contact with his wife were all killed by him in advance. It was impossible for them to leave any clues behind.
If that was the case, how could Xuanyuan Ling suspect him so quickly?
He could not help but praise himself. Fortunately, he did not give himself away just now.
Pretending to be calm, the City Lord looked at Xuanyuan Ling and said innocently.
"Great Messenger, I don't understand what you mean."
The City Lord played dumb. I don't understand what you mean, and I don't know what you're talking about. This matter has nothing to do with me.
Looking at the City Lord who was still stubbornly resisting, Xuanyuan Ling smiled and was not angry at all.
He had already guessed that this would be the outcome. People like him would not shed tears until they saw the coffin.
"You think that I don't have any evidence now?"
His gaze was calm, and his tone was calm. Hearing that, the City Lord did not regret it.
"Great Messenger, I really have nothing to do with this matter."
He still refused to admit it. Seeing that, Xuanyuan Ling could not be bothered to say anything else. He gave Xiao Lao a look, and soon, the City Lord's wife was brought in by an expert from the Divine Temple.
Seeing his wife appear, the City Lord was instantly dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground and could not believe that his wife would appear there.
After the incident, he sent his wife away immediately.
Moreover, in order to reveal a flaw, he did it very secretly. Even the entire City Lord's Mansion did not know about it.
He had personally sent his wife away and hid her in a place that he thought no one would be able to find.
He thought that it was flawless, but who would have thought that his wife would be found by the Divine Temple after a short period of time?
How did the Holy Temple find his wife? The City Lord couldn't understand.
But now was obviously not the time for him to dwell on this. His wife had been found, and the situation seemed to be completely different from what he had imagined.
Actually, the City Lord did not know that before he arrived here, Xuanyuan Ling had already ordered people to secretly investigate the City Lord Mansion.
They found out that a woman had suddenly disappeared from the City Lord's Mansion. Even the people in the City Lord's Mansion did not know the identity of this woman. Moreover, she seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
Normally, the City Lord would not allow anyone to come into contact with this woman.
Upon hearing this news, Xuanyuan Ling immediately guessed that this woman might be the City Lord's deceased wife.
It was not difficult for the Temple to investigate the past of the City Lord.
He knew that his wife had already passed away a few years ago. Now that she had reappeared, there was only one explanation.
The City Master had colluded with the Origin World. The Origin World had helped him revive his wife.
This was also why Xuanyuan Ling was certain that this matter was related to the City Lord's Mansion from the very beginning.
He had already ordered people to capture the City Lord's wife, even though the City Lord thought that he had done it flawlessly.
No one could find the whereabouts of his wife, but he still underestimated the power of the Temple.
In the land of all living beings, it was not an exaggeration to say that if the Temple was determined to find someone, it would be impossible for them not to find her unless she disappeared from the face of the earth.
Moreover, in such a short period of time, it was impossible for the City Lord to bring his wife to a faraway place.
Therefore, it was even easier to find her. It did not take long for the Temple to find this person and bring her back directly.
Compared to the City Lord's panic, his wife was obviously very calm.
This was normal. After all, a new warrior did not have emotions and would not be afraid at all.
Even though she was now captured by the Temple, she did not panic at all.
Xuanyuan Ling said unhurriedly as he glanced at the City Lord's wife and then looked at the City Lord.
"Now, do you have anything else to say?"
The City Lord did not know what to say when his wife had fallen into the hands of the Temple. He remained silent and looked at his wife with a complicated gaze.
The reason he did all this was because of his wife.
He missed his dead wife too much. When he found out that the Origin World could resurrect his dead wife, the City Lord agreed to cooperate with the Origin World in a fit of obsession.
Although he knew that his dead wife was no longer the same person after she was resurrected, so what?
He only wanted to be by his wife's side. Even if she did not have emotions and did not know what feelings were, as long as he could see her every day, he would be satisfied.
He unconsciously wanted to walk to his wife's side. Seeing this, the expert from the Temple was about to stop him when Xuanyuan Ling spoke.
"Let him be."
With Xuanyuan Ling's order, the expert from the Temple respectfully retreated to the side, and the City Lord successfully came to his wife's side.
He gently held his wife's hand. Although his wife still had a dull expression, as if she did not feel anything at all.
The City Lord's face revealed a warm smile as he held his wife's hand again.
He gently held his wife's hand as if he was holding a treasure and would not let go no matter what.
At this moment, there was only a gentle smile on the City Lord's face. He looked at his wife and spoke slowly.
"Actually, I know the methods of the Origin World. When a new cultivator is resurrected, they will not be the same person at all. They will only have the same appearance.
Even so, I am willing. I do not have many thoughts. I just want to be able to see her every day when I wake up. I want to be by her side and look at her like this.
Although she may not have any feelings and does not know what love is, she will not understand my love.
Even so, I do not care. As long as I can be by her side, it will be fine. "
Then, the City Lord turned his head and looked at Xuanyuan Ling with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"My Lord, I do not have any other wishes. I know that I cannot escape death. I only hope that I can be buried with her after I die. That is enough. I hope that my Lord can grant my wish."
