Cheng Yu turned back to look at the city lord and the guards who were leaving the mansion in a hurry. He smiled faintly but didn't take it seriously.
With the explanation from Elder Yang and the others, he knew that the city lord might be related to the Skymoon Outer Dynasty. Therefore, his current action might be to seek help from the Skymoon Outer Dynasty.
However, this might be what he wanted. He could also take the opportunity to see the power of the Skymoon Outer Dynasty and see if he could turn his idea into reality.
Entering the reception hall, everyone sat down. Very quickly, a servant served Cheng Yu and the rest a cup of steaming hot tea.
"Everyone, I, Hong Tian, do not like to beat around the bush. I also know that you are not here to join my Hongyu Mansion. I would like to know what your true intentions are." Hong Tian City Lord sat down and took a sip of tea. He put down his teacup and looked at the six people seated before him.
Among the six people, at least five were Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivators. Such a lineup, to be honest, was extremely rare even in a city like Hongyu City.
Although he had always been recruiting talents, there had never been a Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivator who sought help from him. But now, there were actually five or six of them. This was somewhat unusual.
Furthermore, the strength of these people didn't seem to be any weaker than him. With such a few peerless experts, he believed that no matter where they went, they would receive the best treatment.
However, such a few people had actually come to his Hongyu City. This made it hard for him not to be suspicious.
If they were here to seek help from the Skymoon Outer Dynasty, he could still accept it.
"Since the city lord is so straightforward, we shall not waste any more time. Actually, our purpose is very simple. We heard that the city lord has a very powerful artifact. Thinking back to the time when the city lord used it to resist the heavenly tribulation, he successfully became a Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivator.
We are here because of its reputation and would like to see this amazing magic treasure. I wonder if Lord Hong Tian can let us have a look at this magic treasure with our own eyes? "Seeing the situation, Elder Fang didn't beat around the bush and directly said." That's right.
"This …" The city lord listened to Elder Fang's words and was obviously doubtful.
He didn't think that these Transcending Tribulation Stage cultivators were just here to look at the magic treasure in his hand. It was more likely that these people were here to snatch his magic treasure.
Besides, this magic treasure was very important to him, and it was his life-saving magic treasure. How could he easily show it to others?
"Don't worry, City Lord Hong Tian. We don't have any malicious intentions. We just want to witness the magnificence of your magic treasure. We hope that City Lord can grant our wish!" Elder Yang quickly added when he saw City Lord Hong Tian hesitating. Obviously, he had too many concerns.
"I want to know who you are. We do not know each other. Yet, the few of you suddenly came to my residence and asked me to bring out my magic treasures for you to see. Is this a reasonable request? "Hong Tian City Lord said, looking at the six cultivators.
He had to admit that this was the truth.
He didn't even know where these people had come from, but now they suddenly came to his residence and wanted to see his magic treasures.
Even if this magic treasure was not something shameful, it was absolutely impossible for him to show it to a group of outsiders, let alone a group of powerful strangers.
He would never believe that they didn't have any malicious intent.
These people were cultivators at the Crossing Calamity Stage. What hadn't they seen before? Was it really just to take a look at his magic treasure? He didn't believe it.
"We are just Rogue Cultivators. We don't have much fame in the Cultivation World, so we are not worth mentioning," Elder Yang said.
"Although I dare not say that I have completely figured out your cultivation bases, you fellows are at least at the Tribulation Ascension stage. I do not believe that a few loose cultivators could have such high achievements," Hong Tian City Master said, his voice filled with doubt.
He didn't believe that these people were just some nameless cultivators. Obviously, they were unwilling to reveal their true identities.
He didn't think that it was impossible for Rogue Cultivators to reach the Crossing Calamity Stage. It was just that the possibility of so many Rogue Cultivators appearing at the Crossing Calamity Stage was very small.
After all, compared to cultivators with a Sect or a background, it was even more difficult for Rogue Cultivators to obtain enough resources for their own cultivation.
However, as Rogue Cultivators, all of them had reached the Crossing Calamity Stage. Even if they were really Rogue Cultivators, the resources they obtained were most likely obtained by robbing people.
In this case, he certainly wouldn't take out his magic treasure.
He didn't think that he could deal with five Rogue Cultivators at the Crossing Calamity Stage by himself. Even if the remaining person was not at the Crossing Calamity Stage, his strength was probably not simple.
Therefore, he had to stall for time. He had already sent people to look for them. As long as the people he was looking for arrived, these people would have nothing to worry about.
"Hong Tian City Lord doesn't seem to be optimistic about Rogue Cultivators. It's true that Rogue Cultivators don't have any advantage in terms of resources, but this is only the plight of most Rogue Cultivators in the Cultivation World.
However, this doesn't mean that all Rogue Cultivators in the world don't have the ability to reach the Crossing Calamity Stage. There are thousands of resources in the world. As long as you work hard enough and have enough talent, it is only a matter of time before you reach the Crossing Calamity Stage.
Besides, we brothers have always been fighting together, so it doesn't seem strange that we can all reach the Crossing Calamity Stage, "Elder Yang explained.
It was obvious that they had already thought of their identities after changing their appearances this time.
Last time, they had set themselves up as members of the Red Fire Outer Dynasty. If they were to cause trouble as members of another Outer Dynasty, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of some people.
Therefore, it was best not to use the identity of a Outer Dynasty, no matter which Outer Dynasty it was, even if it was a Outer Dynasty that had nothing to do with the Red Fire Outer Dynasty.
Therefore, they had used the identity of Rogue Cultivators. Rogue Cultivators were like rootless duckweeds. They had no identity or background. For them, this was the best reason.
"In this case, I have to know your names, right?" Hong Tian City Lord asked.
However, he did not believe Elder Yang's words at all. Although such an excuse seemed reasonable, it did not hold water at all.
However, since Elder Yang had said so, should he embarrass him in public?
Anyway, he didn't intend to show the magic treasure to these people. Who knew what they were planning?
What he needed to do now was to stall for time. As long as his people arrived, everything would be easy.
In fact, Cheng Yu's purpose was just to find an excuse to avoid finding out their true identities.
Therefore, it didn't matter whether the other party believed them or not. Whether he believed them or not, the most important thing was to achieve his goal.
However, it seemed that Hong Tian City Lord was just stalling for time.
Moreover, according to their understanding of Hongyu City, they had basically guessed that he was stalling for time to wait for the people of the Sky Moon Outer Dynasty to arrive.
To be honest, they were still a little worried about the Sky Moon Outer Dynasty.
However, their young master didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he was very willing to contact the Sky Moon Outer Dynasty.
Although they didn't agree with their young master's decision, this was Hongyu City. Even if the Sky Moon Outer Dynasty wasn't far from here, it was impossible to move the entire Sky Moon Outer Dynasty to Hongyu City all at once.
Therefore, even if the Sky Moon Outer Dynasty's experts came, it shouldn't bring too much trouble to them.
However, if they went to the Sky Moon Outer Dynasty's encampment as their young master had thought, this was something they absolutely couldn't agree with.
"It seems that you are not very sincere. If that's the case, how would I dare to take out the magic treasure to show you?" Hong Tian City Lord said faintly.
At this point, it could be said that none of these people's words were credible.
There was no need for him to ask their true identities. Since the other party wanted to deliberately hide it, no matter how much he asked, the answer could only be false.
"Hong Tian City Lord, although our request is a bit abrupt and even offensive, we are not willing to reveal our identity. It is indeed because it is inconvenient for us to reveal our identity. However, we absolutely came with sincerity.
However, we definitely came with sincerity. We just want to take a look at the City Lord's magic treasure, that's all.
As long as City Lord is willing to let us take a look at the magic treasure, we are willing to gift this 10,000-year-old Blood Ginseng to City Lord. How about it? " Cheng Yu knew that the other party wouldn't believe their words. Therefore, there was no need for him to make up any more excuses. He took out a blood-red herb.
"You are really generous!" When he saw the 10,000-year-old Blood Ginseng, Hong Tian City Lord was shocked. However, on the surface, he maintained his composure.
The 10,000-year-old Blood Ginseng was indeed rare. It was even beneficial to his current cultivation.
However, even though this 10,000-year-old Blood Ginseng was precious, it was still inferior to his magic treasure.
Furthermore, the person in front of him was able to calmly take out a 10,000-year-old Blood Ginseng without even batting an eyelid. It could be seen that this person's identity wasn't simple.
However, this person was willing to gift a 10,000-year-old Blood Ginseng just to take a look at it. This inevitably caused people to be suspicious of his true intentions.
This magic treasure wasn't something that could not be seen. However, if someone wanted to snatch it away, it would be a different story.
For a 10,000-year-old Blood Ginseng, it was obviously not worth it.
