The words of the City Lord of Cold River City puzzled Lin Xiu.
When the City Lord of Cold River City came close, he explained, "Although Li Ronghao has done a lot of evil things, he also has some difficulties. I want to take him back to the city and let the families of the victims decide his fate together. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."
Lin Xiu frowned. He looked at the City Lord of Cold River City and said, "No matter what difficulties he has, he can't escape death after committing such a heinous crime."
Seeing Lin Xiu's firm look, the City Lord of Cold River City could not say anything more. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly moved close to Lin Xiu's ear and whispered, "Envoy, there must be some secrets in this. I suspect that other families in the city are behind this. Please investigate it clearly."
After hearing this, Lin Xiu felt a little relieved.
It seemed that the City Lord of Cold River City wanted to take advantage of what happened this time to reorganize the Cold River City.
After all, this was the territory of the City Lord of Cold River City. If he refused again, it was inevitable that the City Lord of Cold River City would have some ideas. Lin Xiu just thought for a moment and nodded and agreed.
The City Lord of Cold River City looked at Lin Xiu gratefully. After his subordinates arrived, he ordered them to arrest Li Ronghao, and then accompanied Lin Xiu, looking at the endless night sky.
After his subordinates left with Li Ronghao, the City Lord of Cold River City took out some spirit stones from his storage device and gave them to Lin Xiu.
"Envoy, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to take down Li Ronghao so easily this time. Please accept these spirit stones."
These spirit stones were different from those used by Lin Xiu. The spiritual strength on them was more intense. They should be middle-grade spirit stones. Roughly looking, there were more than a hundred of them.
It should be known that Gui Yuan Sect only offered 500 contribution points as a bargaining chip. The value of these spirit stones alone was far more than that.
But thinking that he needed resources for cultivation, Lin Xiu did not refuse anymore and accepted them.
"Regardless of the hidden reasons, I hope that City Lord will treat this matter well. Soon, I will have to return to Yuan Sect to report. I hope that City Lord will put in a lot of effort." After accepting the Spirit Stones, Lin Xiu's attitude became much more relaxed. After all, he had to be lenient with others.
Under the repeated assurance of the City Lord of Cold River City, Lin Xiu used his body technique and floated away.
The City Lord of Cold River City, who had gotten rid of the big trouble in his heart, did not feel distressed for sending Lin Xiu away. In his opinion, although Lin Xiu's cultivation was not high, his strength was really terrifying. Only by befriending him now could he gain some goodwill from Lin Xiu.
If he waited until the spirit cultivator truly matured, he wouldn't be able to curry favor with him even if he wanted to.
By the time he returned to the City Lord Residence, it was already past midnight. Lin Xiu, who had just experienced a huge battle, was not sleepy at all.
Arriving at the back garden of the city lord's estate, he found a stone table and sat down. Afterwards, he took out some fine wine from his Space Ring and began to drink by himself as he gazed at the bright moon in the sky.
This battle with Li Ronghao allowed him to have a correct evaluation of his own strength. An ordinary Early Harmonious Spirit Realm warrior should not be a match for him.
However, he did not have any complacency. Among the Bone Tempering Realm warriors in the Gui Yuan Sect, Lu Mingyuan was on par with him. He believed that Shen Yue, who was ranked second on the Combat Power Ranking, was also not easy to deal with.
Moreover, his goal was not as simple as becoming an inner disciple of the Gui Yuan Sect. Although Lord Feng Huo had previously treated Lin Zhong's injuries, he did not completely remove the root of the problem.
If he wanted to completely recover from Lin Zhong's injuries, he must have the strength of a warrior who had reached the Heavenly Yuan Realm. With the help of his own Yuan Qi and many treasures, there would be a glimmer of hope.
Raising a cup to invite the bright moon, they formed a trio.
Lin Xiu had also fallen in love with fine wine. Although he was still young and could not hold his liquor well, he was quite infatuated with the heat that the fine wine brought to his throat.
The stars were bright and the moon was bright.
Lin Xiu, who was slightly tipsy, took out the Gazing River Sword from his Space Ring and danced in the empty space in the garden.
The body of the sword was dazzling under the illumination of the half moon in the sky.
Lin Xiu's figure flickered and he moved around in the small space like a fish.
Suddenly, a leaf fell.
Coincidentally, a strong wind blew and countless leaves were swept up by the strong wind. They danced with the wind and Lin Xiu was in the center of the leaves.
Lin Xiu opened his hands and listened to the sound of the leaves swaying in his ears. His eyes suddenly lit up and he stretched out his hand and handed over the sword!
The entire world seemed to have stopped at this moment. Under this sword, all the leaves followed the sword's momentum and drew a beautiful trace in the air.
After a long time, Lin Xiu kept the sword and the yellow leaves that filled the sky suddenly fell and scattered on the ground.
Lin Xiu, who was holding the Gazing River Sword, stroked the body of the sword with his index finger.
When he was in the God's Arts Pavilion, because he did not want others to know that the Gazing River Sword was in his hands, he did not choose any sword skills.
In addition, he already had the essence weapon Wind Concealment Gloves now, so there was no need to expose the Gazing River Sword.
But after drinking the fine wine, he suddenly wanted to use the Gazing River Sword and have a good play.
At this time, the main hall of the City Lord Residence was brightly lit.
The leaders of the other major families were summoned here by the City Lord of Cold River City overnight to discuss how to deal with Li Ronghao.
Logically speaking, the other major families were the sworn enemies of the Li family and they should be eager to kill Li Ronghao. But now that they saw Li Ronghao, their behavior was a little ambiguous.
As they stuttered, almost none of them suggested killing Li Ronghao immediately. Instead, they were talking about some unimportant things in a secretive manner.
Looking at the behavior of the leaders of the other major families, the City Lord of Cold River City snorted coldly.
"Everyone, what do you mean by this? As far as I know, this Li Ronghao should have a deep hatred with all of you. Why, looking at you now, you actually want to protect him? "
Seeing the anger on the face of the City Lord of Cold River City, the leaders of the other major families hurriedly shouted that they did not dare.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are secretly thinking. To tell you the truth, do you really think that I don't know what you are secretly playing?"
"Li Ronghao has a deep hatred with all of you, but why are the children of your family safe and sound? Master Liu, I know that your eldest son has just given you another grandson this year. "
After saying this, cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the Master of Liu Family. He dodged his gaze and did not dare to look at the City Lord of Cold River City at this moment!
"As for the leaders of the other major families, you are also involved in this matter. I will make it clear here. Now that the envoy of the Gui Yuan Sect has come to Cold River City, all the dirty thoughts that you secretly have should be suppressed in your hearts."
"If you are not satisfied with my rule, then defeat me with your strength, instead of playing these dirty tricks behind my back."
After saying this, the City Lord of Cold River City directly came to the front of Li Ronghao, whose hands and feet were tied, and directly slapped him.
"Bang!"
Li Ronghao directly died in front of this slap, but his eyes were still staring at the Master of Liu Family before he died.
At this moment, the heart of the Master of Liu Family was in his throat, for fear that the City Lord of Cold River City would take the opportunity to make things difficult for him.
"From now on, you'd better behave yourselves. Don't create any trouble while His Excellency is here. Otherwise, I'll hold you responsible." The City Lord of Cold River City shouted coldly at the crowd in front of him with a dark face.
The others could only nod submissively. The Master of Sun Family was a quick-witted person. At this moment, he plucked up his courage and asked, "City Lord, I heard that this time Li Ronghao was captured alive by that superior alone?"
The City Lord of Cold River City nodded. There was no need to hide this matter. After all, there were so many people at that time.
After seeing the City Lord of Cold River City admit it, the others could not help but gasp in their hearts.
To be able to surpass an entire realm and still emerge victorious, such a genius was not someone they could afford to provoke.
The Master of Sun Family even took a step forward and asked the City Lord of Cold River City, "City Lord, please help me pass a message. If the envoy needs anything, I, Sun Guang, will definitely do my best."
Seeing this, the others secretly cursed him as an old fox in their hearts, and then, one by one, expressed their stance.
"This time, the envoy really spent a lot of effort. Each of your families should take out some treasures to offer to the envoy." The City Lord of Cold River City nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing his expression, the others also agreed. Only the Master of Liu Family was still anxious and fearful at this time.
As expected, the City Lord of Cold River City looked at him again and said, "Second Brother Liu, this time, our City Lord's Mansion has also suffered a lot of losses. Half of your clan's properties, come here before noon tomorrow for delivery."
At this time, Liu Laoer could not express his bitterness, and could only agree bitterly. He was completely reaping what he had sown.
Originally, he planned to join forces with Li Ronghao to contend against the City Lord of Cold River City. Unexpectedly, he went for wool and came home shorn. If he did not agree to the conditions of the City Lord of Cold River City, he was afraid that the Liu Family would not have a good life in the future.
