City Lord Yun Li's expression became more and more solemn as he listened to Commander Doli's whisper.
After Commander Doli finished speaking, he stood behind Yun Li and looked at Jianchen with a complicated expression, but didn't leave.
Yun Li's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the calm Jianchen sitting in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Little brother Jianchen, a year ago, a huge event happened in Wake City. The young master of the Tianxiong clan, Tianxiong Kang, was killed in the city. According to reliable sources, the person who killed Tianxiong Kang was a youth around the same age as little brother Jianchen. Most importantly, that person's name is also Jianchen. Presumably, the two of them are the same person."
Hearing this, Jianchen's expression didn't change. He had already guessed that this would happen, so he didn't deny it. Instead, he smiled and said, "City Lord's guess is correct. That person is indeed me."
Although he had already guessed that this would happen, when Jianchen personally admitted it, Yun Li felt his heartbeat quicken.
Although the enmity between Jianchen and the Tianxiong clan had nothing to do with him, this was a critical time. Wake City was about to face another wave of Magical Beasts. This was related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Wake City. There was no room for carelessness. At this time, everyone needed to unite and gather all their strength to protect Wake City. As for Jian Chen and the Tianxiong clan, no matter which side they were on, they would be a great help to Wake City. However, the enmity between the two sides gave Yun Li a huge headache. This was because Yun Li knew that if Jian Chen and the Tianxiong clan were to fight, both sides would suffer great losses. If this was a normal situation, Yun Li wouldn't even care about it, but the current situation was different. Right now, he had to prevent the enmity between Jian Chen and the Tianxiong clan from erupting. At the very least, before the end of the Magical Beast Wave, he couldn't let Wake City lose too much of its strength.
Yun Li solemnly looked at Jianchen and said, "Little brother Jianchen, I have also heard of the enmity between you and the Tianxiong clan. Originally, I didn't want to interfere, but now that Wake City is about to face a life and death situation, we need to preserve our strength. Therefore, I hope that you can temporarily put aside your enmity with the Tianxiong clan and wait until the end of the Magical Beast wave. What do you think, little brother Jianchen?" Yun Li's tone was as if he was negotiating. In his heart, he had already placed Jianchen in a very high position. Whether it was his personal strength or his background, he couldn't be underestimated.
Jianchen slightly frowned, then gently shook his head and said, "Lord Yun Li, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Hearing this, Yun Li's face slightly changed. The thing he was most worried about was about to happen, but he didn't give up on persuading Jianchen. He sincerely said, "Little brother Jianchen, please consider the big picture. Moreover, the Tianxiong clan's strength is much stronger than the Zhou clan's. Although the Tianxiong clan lost their title as the number one clan in Wake City after the tragedy a year ago, that is only in terms of business. In terms of strength, the Tianxiong clan is still the number one clan in Wake City. They cannot be underestimated."
Hearing this, Jianchen's heart stirred. He said, "Lord Yun Li, besides Tianxiong Lie, what other experts do the Tianxiong clan have?"
Yun Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "Aside from Tianxiong Lie, the Tianxiong clan also has an intermediate Great Saint Master expert. This person is Tianxiong Lie's younger brother, Tianxiong Daoyun. In addition, Tianxiong Lie has a very good relationship with several large mercenary groups in Wake City. If they join forces, they will be a very frightening force in Wake City. "
After hearing this news, Jianchen's expression didn't change in the slightest. It was as if he didn't take Yun Li seriously at all. Instead, he leisurely picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
Seeing how calm Jianchen was, as if he didn't put the Tianxiong clan in his eyes at all, Yun Li couldn't help but be even more certain of his thoughts. It was likely that Jianchen really did have a very strong power behind him. Perhaps, at this moment, there was a hidden expert protecting this youth in front of him.
Yun Li was also a very meticulous person. Seeing that Jianchen had already made up his mind not to forgive the Tianxiong clan, he didn't continue to linger on this topic to avoid the opposite effect. To him, Jianchen was much more important than the Tianxiong clan.
Ignoring the fact that Jianchen didn't have a strong background behind him, just the fact that Jianchen was able to kill a Great Saint Master at such a young age was enough to see his outstanding talent. In the future, it would not be impossible for him to become a peak expert that would become famous throughout the continent.
By the time Jianchen left the city lord's mansion, the sky had already darkened. In the city lord's mansion, Jianchen didn't mention the matter of Uncle Kendall's family. From his point of view, it would be wiser and safer to wait until the matter of the Tianxiong clan was completely resolved before asking Yun Li City to help him search for Uncle Kendall's family.
Seeing that it was getting late and that the two previous battles had taken a toll on Jianchen, Jianchen wasn't in a hurry to find trouble with the Tianxiong clan. Instead, he found a nearby inn to stay for the time being.
Time quickly passed, and when the first light of dawn had just risen, Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, opened his eyes. After a night of rest, he had completely recovered from yesterday's exhaustion and was now in peak condition.
When Jianchen left the inn, the streets outside were filled with the chatter of passersby. They were all discussing the matter of the Zhou clan and the Zhou mercenary group being destroyed.
The Zhou clan and the Zhou mercenary group had quite a bit of fame in Wake City. In just one night, the news of their destruction had spread throughout the city. This news was like a heavy bomb to the people of Wake City. Regardless of whether it was the streets or alleys, the entire city was filled with the chatter of passersby.
At the same time, all the big and small powers in Wake City received the news and sent people to investigate the truth of the matter.
