As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked!
Ou Xiaomu and the others looked at Wutian strangely, as if to say, "Do you know where you are now? Who are you facing? Can you not be so high-profile? "
The Vice Governor of Beixuan City was also stunned, and his expression froze.
Obviously, he did not expect this lousy kid to be so arrogant.
With his status, no matter where he went, he would be worshipped and respected. Even the Flood Dragon Emperor and the four Sacred Leaders had to treat him with respect. Who would have thought that he would be put in such a difficult position by a stupid kid?
With a gloomy face, he said, "You don't owe me anything, and I don't have any deep enmity with you. However, if you continue to be so rude, even if the City Lord is interested in you, I won't show any mercy."
Wutian's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Why are you so angry, Vice Governor? I was just joking. If you want to be so calculative, then you're too narrow-minded …"
"Narrow-Minded?" The Vice Governor said with a gloomy smile.
Wutian smiled faintly and did not say anything.
He did this to test the temperament of the top powerhouses in the Eastern Region. Now that he had gotten the answer, there was no need to continue to pester them.
Pointing at Gongsun Haoshu and the others, Wutian said faintly, "When I parted with them, I asked Yuan Doufeng about the situation in the No. 1 theater of operations. After that, we parted ways, so I don't know what happened after that."
Then, he added in confusion, "Did something big happen after we left?"
"Nothing big, but some juniors broke into the Governor's Mansion and killed the steward, Yuan Hanchi."
The Vice Governor's tone was calm, but there was a hint of gloominess in it. When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Wutian's face, waiting for his next reaction.
"What?" Hearing this, Wutian turned pale with fright. He stood up from his seat and asked, "Who is so bold to come to the Governor's Mansion and kill people?"
"Keep pretending! No matter how much you pretend, it won't change the fact that you're the murderer. "
When Ou Xiaomu and the others saw this, although they did not show the slightest emotion on their faces, they were deeply disdainful in their hearts. This shameless bastard was really a genius at acting.
The vice city lord carefully sized up Wutian. In the end, he didn't find any clues on his face. He said coldly, "You can leave now. But before you find Yuan Doufeng, you are not allowed to leave Beixuan City, and you are not allowed to go to the battlefield."
Gongsun Haoshu and the others frowned. The main purpose of coming to the Graveyard of Gods and Devils was to increase their strength, find opportunities, and kill false gods. If they were trapped in Beixuan City, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Ou Xiaomu said in a deep voice, "Deputy City Lord, you asked us to come here for an investigation. We came here, but the facts proved that we had nothing to do with this matter. However, you want to restrict our freedom now. Isn't it a bit too much?"
Gongsun Haoshu said, "Our time is precious, we can't afford to waste it on you."
Yun Feiyu nodded and said, "That's right. Who knows when you will find Yuan Doufeng? If you can't find him in your lifetime, won't we have to stay in Beixuan City for the rest of our lives?"
"How do you know you won't find him in your lifetime? Could it be that Yuan Doufeng has already been killed by you? "The vice city lord sneered.
Gongsun Haoshu raised the corner of his mouth and said mockingly, "If this is the reason why you are restricting our freedom, please take out the evidence first."
"Amitabha."
Gu Tian put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha. He said seriously, "Actually, you are all wrong. According to this little monk's observation, Deputy City Lord is holding a grudge because of Wutian's previous offense. Therefore, he wants to use his power to bully others and imprison us. When he finds a good opportunity, he will eliminate us together."
Hearing this, Wutian and the others revealed an expression of understanding.
"Humph!"
The vice city lord's gaze sank, and he snorted from his nose and said with a cold smile, "In Beixuan City, this city lord's words are divine edicts, and no one dares to go against it. If you dare to have the slightest objection, then I might as well kill the chicken to warn the monkey and give the world a warning!"
"Divine edicts, what an arrogant tone. As expected of the vice city lord of Beixuan City. However, this little monk wants to ask Benefactor, where do you place the city lord? Or could it be that you have never taken the city lord seriously? Or perhaps you have always coveted the position of city lord? "Gu Tian ridiculed.
"Little Baldy, don't speak nonsense …."
The vice city lord was furious. At the same time, he wished for nothing more than to fiercely slap himself. Why did I speak such disgraceful words in a moment of impulse? He originally wanted to explain, but he hadn't finished speaking when Gu Tian pressed his palms together and said with a lowered head, "Benefactor, this little monk solemnly tells you that the disciples of the Buddhist Sect never lie."
The vice city lord was furious when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say. In the end, he actually spoke with a murderous tone. "Good, extremely good. Since you're a disciple of the Buddhist Sect, then you shouldn't have come to the matters of the mortal world. Today, I'll send you to repent before the Buddha!"
"Amitabha. It's clearly stated that killing is prohibited in the five great cities. Could it be that the Vice City Lord wants to take the lead in disobeying? Oh! Right! This little monk forgot the identity of the vice city lord. As the dignified vice city lord of Beixuan City, he possesses a high status and authority, and he naturally disdains to abide by these boring rules. "
When he spoke up to here, Gu Tian's gaze flashed as he came to an understanding. "In this way, this little monk has thought of something. In the entire Beixuan City, probably only the Vice City Lord dares to disregard the rules issued by the four great saints like this. Perhaps … Yuan Hanchi was killed by you, and for the sake of concealing the truth, he made us scapegoats. The Vice City Lord is really scheming."
"Uh!" Wutian and the others were extremely astonished.
Actually, Wutian and Yun Feiyu were slightly better off because they'd experienced it a long time ago.
However, Gongsun Haoshu and the others were dumbstruck, and they felt disbelief in their hearts. He's actually able to turn black into white. Isn't this fellow's mouth too sharp!?
Even Wutian and the others were like this, let alone the vice city lord. His face was gloomy to the point it was terrifying, and the killing intent in his eyes wasn't concealed at all. His fists were even tightly clenched together, causing cracking sounds to resound out without end.
Obviously, he'd already reached the verge of exploding with rage, and he couldn't suffer any more provocation!
"Amitabha."
It just so happened that someone didn't believe it, and Gu Tian had something to say.
He pressed his palms together with a sad expression as he spoke with compassion. "The heavens are virtuous. Vice City Lord, why make things difficult for us juniors for your own mistakes!? So long as you let us go, this little monk dares guarantee that we'll absolutely not reveal a single word about you killing Yuan Hanchi. "
"Little Bald Donkey, I'll definitely kill you today!"
The vice city lord was really infuriated. His eyes were completely red, and as they opened and closed, two monstrous killing intent shot explosively towards Gu Tian. Accompanied by a bang, this exquisite pavilion was instantly turned into ashes!
"Benefactors, this little monk's mission is complete. Next, it's up to all of you." Gu Tian sent a voice transmission to the others when he saw this, and then his figure flashed and swiftly flashed out of the City Lord's Estate.
Moreover, as he fled, he raised his voice and roared, "Where are the Enforcers? Someone wants to commit violence and commit evil in the City Lord's Estate. Quickly come out and uphold justice!"
"Little Bald Donkey, I'll make you have no way out today!" The vice city lord had gone mad, completely mad. He didn't care about Wutian and the others, and he took a step forward with a pair of red eyes as he chased after Gu Tian.
Gongsun Haoshu's brows were tightly knit together as he asked, "What should we do?"
"Let's follow him and take a look first. If the Enforcers are like him, then we'll flip Beixuan City upside down today!" Wutian said coldly.
"We're only cooperating with his investigation because we're giving him face. If we don't give him face, then we're nothing. It's fine if he has self-awareness today. Otherwise, Beixuan City is bound to not be peaceful!" Ou Xiaomu sneered.
The others nodded in succession, and then they swiftly chased after Gu Tian.
When they chased out of the City Lord's Estate, Wutian's figure suddenly stopped, and he stretched out his hands to signal the others behind him to stop.
"What?" They were extremely puzzled.
Wutian said, "Wait for an opportunity. After all, this person is the vice city lord of Beixuan City, and he possesses a high status and authority. Moreover, he's made an enormous contribution to the eastern territory. If we don't have a good opportunity and make a move against him, then we won't be able to clear our names even if we jump into the netherworld."
Feng Yihui nodded and said, "Wutian's words aren't without reason. This person's foundation in the eastern territory is firm, and it's extremely difficult to shake. If there isn't an overwhelming reason, then it's extremely likely that those old freaks of the eastern territory will side with their own kin and not reason."
Yun Yuting covered her face and laughed. "All of you! Anyone who dares to go against all of you probably won't have a good ending. "
"Let's watch the show!" Wutian smiled lightly, and a thing had suddenly appeared in his hand that was hidden within his sleeve. This thing was precisely the Myriad Token.
"Little Bald Donkey, hand over your life!" The vice city lord shouted coldly as his large hand stretched out in the sky like an eagle's claw, and it headed directly towards Gu Tian's bald head.
"This strike is extremely terrifying. When I saw Master spar with the Grand Minister in the past, the divine might of this strike wasn't comparable to this. If that shameless monk is caught by this strike, then his head would surely explode." Yun Feiyu nodded and praised endlessly.
When he saw the others at the side with their hands crossed before their chest and commenting, Gu Tian sighed repeatedly with sorrow. "The coldest thing is the human heart. All of you heartless scum better remember this, don't come looking for me if you have any difficulties in the future."
Swoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tian's figure flashed and dashed madly towards the street. However, how could his speed possibly compare to an expert at the level of a city lord? Even though his head had escaped calamity, the large hand that was like an eagle's claw had firmly descended onto his back!
"Pu!"
Gu Tian's figure shook, and at the same time that he spat out a mouthful of blood, he was suddenly blasted flying like a meteor. Along with an enormous bang, he smashed onto the street between the City Lord's Estate and the War Merit Hall, and a deep hole was instantly smashed open at this place!
Moreover, with the deep hole as the center, dense cracks even split open, and they were like a spiderweb that swiftly spread out in all directions!
"Bastard! Someone's killed someone! Quickly come over! "
Gu Tian disregarded the injuries he'd suffered and leaped up with a swish, and he fled while shouting loudly at the same time.
