"City Lord Hong Tian, although we did lie to you, your words seem to be very hard to convince, right?" Elder Yang said. "That's right.
Although they had not seen that magic treasure with their own eyes, they could tell from the description of others how important that magic treasure was to the City Lord of Hong Tian City.
Furthermore, this treasure had even saved Hong Tian City Lord's life during the Heavenly Tribulation. How could he believe that this treasure wasn't in his hands?
"Although this matter may sound a little strange, it is the truth. My magic treasure was lost a few years ago. Therefore, I can only apologize to everyone!" Hong Tian City Lord said firmly. "Although this matter may sound strange, it is the truth.
"May I know who is in possession of the treasure?" Cheng Yu enquired.
"I had gifted this treasure to someone very important to me. As for the identity of this person, I don't think there's a need for me to tell you, right?" Hong Tian City Lord replied.
"Naturally, there's no need for that. It's just that this treasure is very important to me. As long as I can take a look at it, it can be considered as fulfilling my wish. "Cheng Yu replied.
"Why do you care so much about this treasure? From what I can see, the treasure is indeed very powerful. However, your strength shouldn't be any weaker than these few right? Such a treasure doesn't seem to be anything special to a Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivator. "Hong Tian City Lord looked at Cheng Yu and asked doubtfully.
"I won't hide it from you, City Lord. I once lost a magic treasure. I have heard many people describe this magic treasure of the City Lord, and I believe that this magic treasure is extremely similar to the magic treasure I lost.
Therefore, I specially came over to pay a visit to the city lord. I only wish to take a look at this treasure. Therefore, I hope that the city lord can fulfill my wish. "Cheng Yu spoke half truth and half lies.
"If that is the case, then if this magic treasure is really the magic treasure that you lost in the past, do you want to take it back?" The City Lord Hong Tian was unsure if the man before him was telling the truth or not. "That's right.
At least, he didn't think that Cheng Yu would be satisfied just by taking a look at it.
If this treasure was really something that he had once possessed, then this time, he had brought so many Crossing Tribulation Realm cultivators here. Obviously, he had come prepared.
At that time, he definitely wouldn't just take a look at it. He would definitely snatch it away.
Therefore, he couldn't take this magic treasure out. Even if he really wanted to take it, he wouldn't do it now. He would have to wait until his people arrived.
"The City Lord also said that this magic treasure is nothing to a Tribulation Passing Stage cultivator. This magic treasure was indeed very important to me in the past, but now, I only hope to take one more look at it before I ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Therefore, if this magic treasure of the City Lord was really lost by me, I will not take it away Cheng Yu said.
"Could it be that you are going to ascend to the Immortal Realm?" Hearing this, the City Lord Hong Tian was shocked and became even more nervous.
Among the six of them, only this middle-aged man's cultivation was unfathomable.
It was obvious that the other party had purposely hidden his cultivation, and it was the kind that he could not see through.
Therefore, from the looks of it, this person's cultivation was indeed unfathomable. He was probably an expert who was about to ascend to the Immortal World.
If that was the case, then this person's cultivation was already close to that of an Immortal. He was just a cultivator who had entered the Tribulation Passing Stage for more than 10 years. It was not worth mentioning at all.
Today, there was such an expert who had come here and wanted to take his magic treasure. It was hard not to worry.
Even if his father or martial uncle were to come personally, they might not be his opponent.
Thinking of this, he broke out in cold sweat. He could only hope that what this middle-aged man said was not true. Otherwise, this matter would not end so easily.
"Who can say for sure about the Great Dao? Perhaps one year, two years, or even five years were all highly possible. However, recently, I have a feeling that my time is coming. Therefore, I hope to finish what I want to do as soon as possible.
This is also the reason why we suddenly came to pay a visit to the City Lord. I hope the City Lord can forgive our rudeness! "Cheng Yu said politely.
"Not at all! If senior is about to die, I should help senior fulfill such a small wish. It's just that this magic treasure is no longer in my hands. Regarding this junior, I am truly sorry! "Hong Tian City Lord said again.
With his cultivation, he was unable to determine whether what Cheng Yu said was true or false. The only thing he could confirm was that these few people were definitely not people he could afford to offend.
If he were to take out the magic treasure, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep it.
Therefore, he still hoped that he could send them away as soon as possible. If this person was really an expert who was about to ascend, it would be better to avoid a disaster.
"Since it's like this, I hope the City Lord can tell me the truth. Who is the owner of this magic treasure? My Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng will belong to the City Lord!" Cheng Yu finished speaking and placed the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng on the tea table.
"Senior, this is really making things difficult for me. Even if I tell you the location of this magic treasure, you will still not be able to reach it. Therefore, forgive me for being unable to help!" Hong Tian City Lord looked at the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng and refused again.
Until now, he still had not figured out Cheng Yu's specific strength. He was unable to determine whether Cheng Yu was really about to ascend to the Immortal World.
If all this was fake, then it would not matter even if he told him the location of the Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty.
He believed that with the strength of the Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, these people would definitely not have a good ending.
But if all this was true, then wouldn't he be finding trouble for the Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty? At that time, he would become a sinner of the Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty. Therefore, he definitely could not expose the location of the Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty.
"Hong Tian City Lord, your words are really putting me in a difficult position. Now, I only have this small wish. To be honest, that magic treasure of yours may not be the magic treasure I lost. I just want to take a look at it.
Regardless of whether this magic treasure is the one or not, I will leave directly. But if Hong Tian City Lord can't even agree to this small request of mine, I really don't know what means I should use to fulfill my wish! " After Cheng Yu spoke, he started to emit his aura. Immediately, Hong Tian City Lord felt the oppressive atmosphere in the hall. Even his breathing had turned heavy.
"Senior, please calm down. It's not that junior doesn't want to help, but I can't help you. I hope senior can forgive me!" Hong Tian City Lord was shocked. Regardless of whether Cheng Yu was really about to ascend to the Immortal World, just based on his strength, it was enough to prove that he was not Cheng Yu's opponent.
Hong Tian City Lord's forehead was full of sweat. He felt that he had really encountered trouble today.
However, although the Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty was not far from Hongyu City, it was not something that could be rushed over immediately.
But now, these six people had forced him to the point where he could not retreat. He really didn't know how to send these six people away.
"If I knew it would be like this, I should have said that this magic treasure was sold at the auction house, or directly said that it was thrown away. It would be better than this result!" Thinking of this, Hong Tian City Lord suddenly felt regret.
Previously, he felt that his excuse might be seen through too easily and would not be able to convince them. Therefore, he could only say that he had given it to someone very important to him.
Because the person he was talking about was also very strong. Even if they didn't believe him or exposed him, he didn't need to be afraid.
When the time comes, he would find them. No matter how strong these people were, they would definitely not be a match for the experts on his side.
But now, he no longer thought so. He was very afraid that what Cheng Yu said was true. At that time, even if he really found his Martial Uncle, the result would be hard to say.
Therefore, he hoped that the experts from Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty would come earlier, but also hoped that they would not come. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the consequences!
"If I didn't guess wrong, you should have sent people to Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty to ask for reinforcements, right?" Cheng Yu did not continue to force him, but suddenly changed the topic.
"You … Senior also know about Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty?" Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Hong Tian City Lord was shocked again.
He had never mentioned anything about Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, but who knew that the other party already knew about it. This made him even more suspicious of Cheng Yu's identity.
It wasn't that no one in the world knew about Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, but there weren't many people who knew about it. Generally speaking, they should be people with some background.
He was really curious about the background of these people. Did they come from some powerful force? Or did they come from other Outer Dynasties?
"Could it be that the few of you also came from another Outer Dynasty?" Hong Tian City Lord asked tentatively.
If the other party also came from another Outer Dynasty, then this matter should be much easier to handle. After all, everyone was from another Outer Dynasty. Presumably, if the Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty were to take action, they should be able to resolve this matter peacefully.
"We have already said that we are only rogue cultivators. The existence of the Outer Dynasty is not a secret in the Cultivation World. Although not everyone knows about it, there are still quite a few people who know about it.
Rogue cultivators like us have traveled all over the Cultivation World. Where haven't we been? Could it be that after so many years, we still can't figure this out? "Elder Yang explained.
"That's true. However, since you all know about Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, I wonder if you all know anyone from Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty?" Hong Tian City Lord probed again.
If these people were really rogue cultivators, he would not believe it at all.
However, if they really had an acquaintance from Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, then in front of the experts of Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, there was no harm in taking out the magic treasure to have a look. He believed that they would not snatch it away.
However, if they had no friendship with Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, he would definitely not easily take out the magic treasure.
"We don't have any friendship with Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty. However, I think you just said that you gave the magic treasure to an important person. That person should be from Celestial Moon Outer Dynasty, right?
How about this, I will give you three days. I think this should be enough for you to inform them to bring the magic treasure over.
