"How does Lin Yichen know?"
Wutian was surprised, but he pretended to be confused. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Lin Yichen said jokingly, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Don't forget how you killed dozens of Half-Step Peerless Stage experts in the Ice Valley. Oh right, and the three Ice Demons."
Wutian felt a headache. How could he forget this?
Lin Yichen continued, "In that battle, the people in Polar Ice Town were all killed by you, but only my second uncle's doppelganger was destroyed. So, I know everything that happened that day. If I'm not wrong, the person who killed my disciples, assassinated Yuan Hanchi, and stole the Phoenix Pendant must be one of your subordinates. Am I right?"
"So that person is your second uncle." Wutian suddenly realized.
He didn't deny Lin Yichen's question. After all, they were all smart people. It was meaningless to continue hiding.
Wutian said lightly, "We've already agreed that we'll rely on our own means. Don't tell me that you're angry because you didn't get the Phoenix Pendant and want to expose me!"
Lin Yichen sneered, "I've never done such boring things. I'm just curious. What kind of Divine Power is your subordinate's Invisibility Technique? Even the old man in white couldn't detect it. "
"It's a kind of Realm." Wutian replied indifferently.
"I see. It seems that I have to be more careful of you in the future. Otherwise, I won't even know how I died if I'm plotted against by you."
Lin Yichen understood. After knowing this, there was a hint of fear in his tone.
Wutian and Lin Yichen's conversation was through Sound Transmission. Naturally, no one else knew about it.
However, Wutian wouldn't deliberately hide the Invisibility Realm. With the intelligence of Gongsun Haoshu and the others, sooner or later, they would associate it with what happened in Polar Ice Town.
It was fine as long as he could fool the people in the East Region temporarily.
The scene was dead silent. Whether it was the Enforcers, the onlookers, or the old man in white, they were all silent and looking around.
Gongsun Haoshu and the others frowned deeply. They glanced at Wutian, their eyes full of suspicion.
For the time being, they did not suspect Wutian. They were just curious about Wutian's previous performance.
Previously, everyone had tried to snatch the Phoenix Pendant, but Wutian had not. Based on their understanding of Wutian, it did not make sense.
Seeing that the person who stole the Phoenix Pendant had not appeared after a long time, the white clothed old man's face was extremely gloomy, and he shouted, "All Enforcers, listen up! Seal off all the city gates and guard them strictly. If there are any suspicious people, bring them to the City Lord's Estate. I want to interrogate them personally!"
Originally, this kind of thing was done by the city guards, but this time, the person who stole the Phoenix Pendant was actually able to escape the search of his Divine Sense. Therefore, he had reason to suspect that the person who stole the Phoenix Pendant was an expert who was not inferior to him.
The city guards were no longer effective against such people. Only the law enforcers could restrain them.
"Yes!"
After they received the order, the law enforcers bowed and glared angrily at Wutian and the others, and then they turned around and dispersed in all directions to carry out their respective duties.
It was also during this period of time that Wutian and the others slowly gathered together and formed an alliance.
The white clothed old man's gaze flickered as it swept past Wutian and the others, and then he said in a low voice, "Please give me a reason not to kill all of you."
"A reason?"
Gu Tian frowned deeply as he pointed at his bloody body and swollen face, and he said, "Benefactor, could it be that you didn't see my injuries?"
The white clothed old man said indifferently, "I saw it, but what can it prove?"
"My injuries were all caused by that bullshit Vice City Lord. Tell me, what can this prove?" Gu Tian's brows knit together even more tightly.
"That's not right! I wasn't present earlier, so I'm completely unaware of what happened. Now that the Vice City Lord has already been killed by all of you, all of you can make up a story, "said the white clothed old man.
"Make up a story?"
Gu Tian was slightly stunned, and then he restrained his temper and pointed at the surrounding spectators as he said, "All of them personally witnessed that bullshit Vice City Lord committing crimes. Right, there's also that beautiful girl from the War Merit Hall. She witnessed the entire process as well. You can ask them if you don't believe me."
The white clothed old man's brows raised, and then he looked at the nearby crowd and said indifferently, "Is that so?"
Everyone glanced at each other when they heard this, yet no one actually answered in the end.
Wutian frowned slightly when he saw this, and then he stared at the white clothed old man as he actually saw a wisp of a threatening intent in the white clothed old man's eyes.
Gongsun Haoshu and the others naturally noticed it as well, and they glanced at each other while a wisp of piercingly cold and fierce light shot out from their eyes.
Right at this moment, the white clothed woman from the War Merit Hall walked out slowly, and then she bowed to the white clothed old man and said respectfully, "City Lord, Qiu Yu has always been in the War Merit Hall and never left, so she witnessed the entire process. Wutian and the others were indeed bitterly pressured by the Vice City Lord, and they were forced to act out of helplessness. City Lord, please investigate this matter clearly."
"Is that so?" The white clothed old man questioned, and the displeasure on his face was clearly visible.
The white clothed woman hesitated for a moment, and then she glanced at Wutian and the others before she puckered her lips and nodded. "Everything Qiu Yu said is true. I absolutely wouldn't dare deceive the City Lord."
Wutian and the others were extremely puzzled when they saw the white clothed woman, Qiu Yu, was actually willing to take the risk of speaking up for them.
The white clothed old man said, "Then may I know if the Vice City Lord killed them directly at that time?"
Qiu Yu shook her head and said truthfully, "He didn't."
"That's right. You only saw what happened after that, but you didn't see what happened in the City Lord's Mansion. If they challenged the Vice City Lord's authority first, why can't the Vice City Lord teach them a lesson? Can't the City Lord teach a few juniors who don't know what's good for them a lesson? "the white clothed old man said.
"This …" Qiu Yu was speechless.
Qiu Yu was at a loss for words. The City Lord's words made sense. She hadn't seen what had happened in the City Lord's Manor. If these people were the ones who provoked them first, the Vice City Lord wouldn't be wrong to teach them a lesson.
A cold light flashed past, and Feng Yihui said telepathically, "Wutian, I think that old bastard is obviously making things difficult for us. Why don't we just kill him as well?"
"No," Wutian refused decisively.
"Why?" The others looked at him in confusion.
"Don't you think he's too calm?" Wutian said telepathically, and there was a trace of doubt between his brows.
Feng Yihui came to a sudden realization after thinking carefully for a moment. "I understand. You mean that he's able to face us so calmly even though he knows we have a Fifth Tribulation Divine Weapon. Either there's someone behind him, or he has a powerful ability."
Everyone felt that it made sense after thinking about it.
At the same time, they started to plan in their hearts. The white clothed old man had obviously come prepared this time. If they didn't deal with him well, it was very likely that they would be annihilated.
"Don't say anything for now. Leave it to me." Wutian instructed secretly, and then he looked at the white clothed old man and cupped his hands. "City Lord, I have something in my hand. Why don't you take a look at it first before deciding who's right and who's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wutian waved his hand, and the Myriad Token that he'd been preparing for a long time flashed out from his sleeve. After that, it exploded in the sky with a bang, and an image quickly appeared in space.
The image displayed the scene of the vice city lord chasing after Gu Tian. Moreover, there was a voice that resounded in the sky.
Moreover, in order to let everyone in the city see it, Wutian even enlarged the image, and it almost occupied half of the sky above Beixuan City.
Wutian said indifferently, "City Lord, did you see it? The vice city lord's words, his tone, and his appearance are enough to prove that he wanted to torture our companion to death. I believe that as long as he's not an old fool or an idiot, he'll be able to see it."
"Brilliant!" Feng Yihui secretly gave Wutian a thumbs up.
"Let's see what he has to say after reenacting the previous incident." Gongsun Haoshu sneered.
"Amitabha. I just realized that I was really in a sorry state at that time," Gu Tian said angrily.
"However, your sorry state is worth it. At least it gave us a legitimate reason to cause a ruckus in Beixuan City." Yun Yuting covered her mouth and laughed.
Wutian shook his head and said, "Whether the reason is legitimate or not isn't up to us to decide. It depends on his decision."
Thus, all of them looked at the white clothed old man and waited for him to make a decision.
After a short moment, the white clothed old man who'd finished watching the entire process glanced imperceptibly at Wutian, and a wisp of praise faintly flashed in his old eyes. However, there was also a wisp of helplessness and doubt in his eyes.
Suddenly, he waved his withered hand, and the image in the sky was directly erased. After that, he looked directly at them and asked with doubt, "That's all?"
"Could it be that this isn't enough?" Wutian frowned.
The white clothed old man shook his head and said, "It's still the same as before. We don't know what happened in the City Lord's Estate. If all of you spoke rudely and infuriated the vice city lord, or if all of you made a move against the vice city lord in the City Lord's Estate, then it's normal for him to act in self-defense. Unless …"
"Unless what?" Wutian squinted his eyes, which emitted wisps of light. He was starting to feel impatient in his heart.
The white clothed old man crossed his arms and said mockingly, "Unless you can provide strong evidence to prove that all of you didn't make a move against the vice city lord, otherwise, all of this is just empty talk."
"What if we can't provide any evidence?"
"Then it's troublesome. What you've done today is considered a heinous crime. According to the rules set by the four Saints, there's only one ending for all of you, which is to be crushed into ashes. However, the truth of this matter is still unknown. I'll capture all of you and send you to the four Saints for them to make a decision," the white clothed old man said.
"This is hilarious. The vice city lord of a city is committing crimes, and not a single law-enforcement officer came forward to stop him. In the end, he's even beaten up. Is this the character of the City Lord of Beixuan City?"
Wutian laughed out of extreme anger. The remaining respect and patience he had for the white clothed old man had been completely worn out by this change!
