Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Why would Zhao Yunfu suddenly change his mind? This was something that no one could understand. What exactly happened that caused such a huge change?
No matter how they thought about it, it was still unbelievable. Many people could not understand why this happened.
The development of this matter was indeed unfathomable. Why did this happen? It was as if this matter had exceeded their expectations.
Zhao Yunfu sneered. At that time, there was indeed a chance to kill NanGong Yu, but he would also lose his life.
Furthermore, there was no guarantee that there would be a chance, so how could he dare to act rashly? Now that he knew Nangong City like the back of his hand, and the time was ripe, it was naturally the best time for him to make his move!
"Let me ask you, I've treated you well these past few decades, why are you doing this!" NanGong Yu asked angrily.
It could be said that in these past few years, NanGong Yu had boldly given Zhao Yunfu all her authority. As an outsider, he could even lead the local cultivators. How much authority did this give him?
Below one, above ten thousand people!
Zhao Yunfu sneered and said, "No matter what, I'm only an outsider. I'll always be below you, NanGong Yu. In the Ancestral Family, if anyone is unhappy, they can give me a hard time. Why should I? I'm a Seventh Tier cultivator! "
Hearing this, many people immediately reacted. Zhao Yunfu wanted to usurp the throne and replace the Nangong Family's position!
Xiao Yang glanced at his surroundings and did not sense anyone approaching. Thus, he was certain that the people from Ximen City had not arrived yet.
If that was the case, this matter would be much easier to handle.
"Even if you kill me, will you be able to obtain Nangong City? Let me ask you, how many people here will listen to you? "NanGong Yu asked coldly.
Zhao Yunfu coldly glanced at the people present. NanGong Yu was tortured by the Heart Devouring Insect and had lost all her battle strength. As for Sun Yi, he was just a person who changed sides with the wind. As long as he was persuaded, he would naturally submit.
For such a person, following anyone was the same as following. In Zhao Yunfu's eyes, Sun Yi did not have any position. He only wanted to find a backer.
The other elders were also thinking about who they should follow next.
Nangong Yong said coldly, "Even if all of us are sacrificed here, you, Zhao Yunfu, will not be able to occupy Nangong City! Our Bright Curse Sector is not xenophobic, but it doesn't mean that we can let you devour your masters and take over our nest! "
As soon as these words came out, the elders immediately felt as if they had eaten a pill of reassurance.
It had to be said that Nangong Yong still had some wisdom. One sentence was enough to make those who were wavering become firm.
Indeed, if he killed NanGong Yu here and followed Zhao Yunbu, he would definitely be ostracized by the entire Bright Curse World.
This way, the gains would not make up for the losses.
"I can give you enough respect, but what can Ximen City give you? Are you willing to be a dog for them? "Nangong Yu coldly asked.
Now, NanGong Yu was completely disheartened, and Zhao Yunbu was determined to be his enemy. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to think about their old relationship.
When these words came out, it could be said to be earth-shattering. Everyone found it hard to accept.
They believed that Zhao Yunbu was just being hot-headed. He wanted to start a coup and replace the Nangong family because of his ambition.
But who would have thought that he was actually a spy sent by Ximen City!
No matter how they thought about it, it was unbelievable and hard to accept!
Suddenly, Zhao Yunbu's expression changed.
Then, his gaze landed on the foreign cultivator named Chen Minghao.
No one knew that he had colluded with Ximen City. How did NanGong Yu find out?
But at this point, it seemed that it was meaningless to try to figure out the truth.
As long as he killed NanGong Yu, the rest of the matter would naturally follow.
"Ximen Family Head promised that they would help me gain a foothold in Nangong City. Although I will still be controlled by them, my identity as the City Lord is real. It's also true that I have taken root in the Bright Curse Sector! "Zhao Yunbu coldly laughed.
From Zhao Yunbu's point of view, this situation was completely different.
"Ximen City and my Nangong City are about the same. This is a hot steamed bun. Do you think they will still give you Nangong City? Or even help you gain a foothold instead of burning the bridge after crossing the river? Or maybe they will kill you after you've outlived your usefulness, and use your head to calm the anger of the people of Nangong City. This seems to be the most reliable choice. "NanGong Yu coldly said.
No matter how one looked at it, this was just a normal operation.
If Ximen City wanted to gain the allegiance of all the forces in Nangong City, they would need to do something. Completely suppressing them with brute force would bring them endless troubles.
But if they were to help City Lord Nangong, and then support a puppet in the Nangong Family, they would be more assured!
"Do you think Ximen Family Head has the same mindset as you? Ximen Family Head wants to build a force that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the two sects. Nangong City is only the beginning! Four cities, from today onwards, there can only be one city! His mindset is not as simple as simply swallowing Nangong City! "Zhao Yunbu coldly said.
This was also the reason why Zhao Yunbu could trust Ximen City so much. They were the cornerstone, and if Ximen City wanted to go further, they naturally could not burn the bridge after crossing the river.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yunbu glanced at the elders and said, "Follow me, and nothing will change. You can even be promoted. If you insist on being stubborn, then die together with NanGong Yu. "
Once those words were spoken, those people that were close to Zhao Yundu immediately echoed in agreement.
Especially some of the guests, who were not courteous at all, and directly chose to follow him.
After all, how could they not cherish the opportunity to become a local from an outsider?
But that was only a small portion, and many of them were still wavering.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult to predict the outcome.
"Sun Yi, you better think carefully. If you are willing to help me, you will still be Chief Sun. Or else, only death awaits you. "Zhao Yunbu coldly said.
However, Sun Yi stood up with a smile and said, "Although I, Sun Yi, am not very capable, I am still grateful for City Lord Nangong's kindness and care over the years. Regardless of the outcome, I will still do my part. Furthermore, I, Sun Yi, am only keeping a low profile, and am not a fence-sitter. I will not kill my master. "
"You are courting death!"
As soon as Zhao Yunbu finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand, and a large black banner began to dance.
"Then I will let you have a taste of this Poisonous Spirit Banner!" Zhao Yunbu laughed loudly, and waved the banner to his heart's content.
