"Is that so? Then why didn't I receive any notice, and why didn't my child come back alive?"
"If this matter is known by my family's old man, you won't have it easy either."
The mustached middle-aged man's words were already a blatant threat. He meant that as long as the City Lord didn't give an explanation, he would use his connections in the Sacred City. After all, his son was also Old Man Qiu's grandson. No matter how pure Old Man Qiu was, he still had a descendant. As long as he had a descendant, there would definitely be some feelings.
"About this matter, you should ask him. He must have something that he hasn't told you yet."
The City Lord suddenly pointed at Du Feng, giving Du Feng a fright. He thought to himself that this cunning thing was too good at diverting the conflict. It wasn't easy for me to pour dirty water on the City Lord's Mansion, and you poured it back on me again. It was said that spilled water was hard to collect, but this basin of water was collected back too quickly.
"Ahem, about this matter, I do have something to say, and I would like to ask the City Lord to give an explanation."
"When I arrived at the scene with Young Master Shangguan, everyone was already surrounded, but no one was injured. According to my observation, the scene had already been set up with a formation. "
Du Feng couldn't argue at this time, he had to answer the question before he had a chance to ask new questions. If he avoided it, all the parents would think that he was the one with the problem. He first mentioned that everyone was surrounded, but no one was injured. But later, for some reason, the Constellation Army began to kill the guests they brought.
"Wait, you mean they first killed the guests, and didn't do anything to our children?"
One of the parents immediately caught the main point of this sentence. That's right, the Constellation Army did do so.
"Yes, at that time, they followed the orders of the Eagle-eyed Brilliant Star King, and only killed the guests, not the young masters and young ladies."
"Of course, the young masters and young ladies were very brave, and didn't want to see their guests killed, so they rose up and fought with everyone."
Du Feng was telling the truth. He did not even blink his eyes. He looked very sincere. Because what he said was basically the truth. Even the City Lord, who was at the God Thearch Realm, could not detect any clues. This matter made sense logically, because the young masters and young mistresses did not know that the constellation army only killed the foreign dignitaries and not them.
Fighting, especially when it was a group fight. The atmosphere was tense, and no one could hold back. Thus, the plan to eliminate the Foreign Chamberlains turned into a group brawl.
If Du Feng had not said so, the parents would have thought that this matter had nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion. Now that they heard that this matter was only targeted at the foreign dignitaries and not their children, they were even more convinced. This matter must have been discussed between the City Lord's Manor and the Constellation Army, to lure those guests out and kill them.
Who would have thought that the situation would go out of control and the Primordial Gods would be harmed as well.
"Dare I ask, City Lord, why were the children unable to escape or send out a distress signal at that time? Why did they go to the same place?"
It was the middle-aged man with the mustache again. His questions were all very sharp. In fact, he wanted to force the City Lord to admit that this matter was arranged by the City Lord's Mansion.
"This is a problem with the teleportation channel. We just found out about it."
Although the City Lord pretended to be calm, he still subconsciously touched his forehead.
Du Feng could already see that this matter was really related to the City Lord's Mansion. And it might be the same as the middle-aged man with the mustache guessed. This was a population control plan, and the main goal was to kill those guests. The truth was that killing the guests was also one of the means to suppress the family.
This was because the more guests a family raised, the greater their influence would be. Once their influence reached a certain degree, they would not place the City Lord's Mansion in their eyes. Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion cooperated with the Constellation Army to kill some of the guests to weaken the family's influence and also to give them a warning. They never thought that the Brilliant Golden Snake Star King would suddenly break through to the Star Emperor Realm, and even kill those people before escaping.
"How about this, I will search this person's soul now. I will definitely be able to give everyone the best explanation."
The City Lord was really ruthless. In order to clear his name, he threw all the blame onto Du Feng's head. As a God Emperor of a generation, he actually wanted to search Du Feng's soul. It had to be known that Du Feng was only at the World King Realm Cultivation. There was a difference of two large boundaries between them.
"Good idea, I also support doing this."
"Mm, search his soul. Let's see what happened."
Many parents agreed to the City Lord searching Du Feng's soul. Like this, they would know what happened at the scene. In any case, their children were already dead, and they did not want Du Feng to have an easy time. Even if this matter had nothing to do with Du Feng, they still felt uncomfortable thinking that their children were dead and Du Feng was still alive.
"No, I don't agree. Why should we search the soul of our Shangguan Family's guests? Searching the soul will cause great damage to one's divine sense. "
"That's right, this matter was not done by him, but by the Constellation Army. Why should we be blamed?"
Shangguan Qingming was the first to disagree. Shanghai Erjun also followed suit. Once the City Lord searched Du Feng's soul, then no matter what the result was, their Shangguan Family would lose face. First of all, the City Lord's actions showed that he didn't trust their Shangguan family.
If you don't suspect our Shangguan family, then why would you search the soul of our guests? After searching Du Feng's soul, if there were no results, then what about searching the soul of Shanghai Yun and Shangguan Erjun?
"Why don't you agree? Your family's children came back alive, but our family's children haven't."
"That's right, if you have the ability then return my son to me."
As Shangguan Qingming spoke, a bunch of parents immediately jumped out to oppose her.
"Why should I return him? I didn't kill your children. They were the ones who were stupid. They couldn't beat others so they didn't know how to run. "
"You are all so stingy, not even willing to make a substitute doll for your children. Now that he's dead, what's the use of crying here? "
Shangguan Qingming was not someone to be trifled with. Her mouth was very venomous, and her strength was not weak.
"Everyone stop arguing. Let's ask the person in question."
The mustache middle-aged man was particularly impulsive before, but now he was abnormally calm. While the other parents were arguing, he stopped arguing and looked at Du Feng. His meaning was very obvious. He wanted to ask Du Feng's opinion on whether he was willing to have his soul searched.
If he opened up his sea of consciousness and did not resist, then the process of soul searching could reduce some pain, and the damage to his divine sense would also be less. More importantly, it could prove his innocence.
