City Lord Di Hong was also sizing up Emperor Zao Ji Fang's expression from the side.
"Thank you, Miss Xuan. This young lady, Yun Sheng, is the daughter of an old friend of mine, so I asked a few more questions." Ji Fang cupped his hands with a casual expression.
"City Lord, I heard that the eldest son was unfortunately killed. I am very sorry for not coming to offer my condolences in time. Does the City Lord need I's help to severely punish the murderer? " Ji Fang had heard about Xuan Wuji, but he only knew that Xuan Wuji was killed by someone. The rumors said that it was Yun Canglang of Zhou State who killed him.
City Lord Di Hong's expression turned ugly at the mention of old matters.
Hearing The Emperor Zao In Red's question, City Lord Di Hong did not feel happy. Instead, his brows twitched as if someone had touched his sore spot.
He was already cursing in his heart.
City Lord Di Hong was not someone to be offended.
His eldest son's death had always been a thorn in his heart.
However, the person who killed Xuan Wuji was Yuan Shahua, and Yun Sheng had something on City Lord Di Hong. Not only was he unable to take revenge, but he also had no choice but to release the real murderer and let her and Yun Canglang live together.
Speaking of this matter, it was quite depressing.
Moreover, Madam Bi would occasionally force City Lord Di Hong to take revenge for his son. City Lord Di Hong was extremely depressed when he heard someone mention this matter.
Although Xuan Wuji was killed by Yuan Shahua, the main culprit was Yun Canglang.
His beloved daughter, Xuan Meimei, had almost died in Icefall City because of Yun Sheng of the Yun Residence. With all these new and old grudges added together, City Lord Di Hong would not let it go.
Yun Canglang had become a Martial Saint, so City Lord Di Hong could not do anything for the time being. However, everyone had weaknesses.
The Yun Residence was now Yun Canglang's greatest weakness.
Especially after Yun Sheng's disappearance, City Lord Di Hong no longer had to worry about someone exposing the Bloody Hand Tycoon. He immediately sent people to contact Duke Jiayuan to assassinate the people of the Yun Residence.
Duke Jiayuan had long wanted to eliminate Yun Bahe.
Although Yun Bahe no longer participated in court affairs on the grounds of illness, his reputation in the army had been resounding for many years, and his prestige far surpassed that of the Marquis of Jiayuan.
If the Marquis of Jiayuan truly wanted to replace Yun Bahe, the only way was for Yun Bahe to die.
They had originally thought that the current Yun Residence would be very easy to deal with. Who would have thought that the outcome of the matter was far beyond the expectations of the Marquis of Jiayuan and the City Lord of Grand Emperor City.
They had sent people a few times, and there was no lack of Martial Arts Grandmasters among them. However, every assassination attempt had ended in failure.
It was not that the Residence of Yun was heavily guarded, but that there was a mysterious person who had been secretly guarding the Residence of Yun.
Several times late at night, the assassin had almost succeeded, but at the most critical moment, the mysterious man in black would appear.
Uncle Yun hadn't fought with the black-robed man, so he didn't know how frightening the black-robed man's imitation ability was. He also didn't know how frightening the black-robed man was.
However, the Marquis of Jiayuan and the City Lord of Grand Emperor City, who had sent the assassins, were about to vomit blood.
When they failed the first time, they thought that the assassin was not strong enough, so they sent another assassin who was more skilled.
However, he still failed.
They still didn't give up and even spent a lot of money to hire a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
However, that Martial Arts Grandmaster also died in the end.
Of course, the City Lord of Grand Emperor City and the others didn't expect that the few assassins they sent later all failed.
Since the Martial Arts Grandmaster's assassination failed, the City Lord of Grand Emperor City simply sent a sorcerer in the city. However, the sorcerer was also killed.
Moreover, the other party used sorcery to kill the sorcerer from Grand Emperor City.
The Marquis of Jiayuan and the City Lord of Grand Emperor City were shocked.
That mysterious person who was hiding in the dark and guarding the Residence of Yun couldn't be a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, right?
Where did this abnormal existence come from? He was both a sorcerer and a martial artist.
Moreover, that abnormal black-robed man would appear regardless of day or night as long as there was an assassin. It was as if he didn't need to sleep or rest at all.
Speaking of which, this matter was the biggest worry of the City Lord of Grand Emperor City.
He couldn't possibly let the City Lord of Grand Emperor City go out of his way to assassinate the people of the Residence of Yun.
It was because of this that this matter had been dragged on. The Residence of Yun was still fine until now.
After being asked by the Pope in red today, the City Lord of Grand Emperor City couldn't help but think of that matter. He felt even more depressed.
"Thank you, Your Holiness. My son brought this upon himself. There's no need to trouble you to do anything." The City Lord of Grand Emperor City suppressed the anger in his heart and acted as if he was sending the guest off.
"Wait a moment. I came here today for another matter." The Red Pontiff had come here today to investigate Yun Sheng's identity. The other matter was related to the search for the Eight Barrens Divine Artifact a few years later.
"The Zao State is also participating in the search for the Universal Magical Weapon this time?" The City Lord of Grand Emperor City's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"Not only the Zao State, but the Hunter's Union and the Temple will also send people to participate. I mean to cooperate with the City Lord of Grand Emperor City so that we can take care of each other. " The Emperor Zao In Red, Ji Fang, and the City Lord of Grand Emperor City were both powerful people on the mainland who were on the same level as the Emperor Zao. Naturally, both of them had the intention to snatch the Universal Magical Weapon.
"What benefits can we get by cooperating with you?" The City Lord of Grand Emperor City was a little tempted. However, he still couldn't completely trust The Emperor Zao In Red.
The search for the Universal Magical Weapon was the result of many years of hard work by countless warriors, magicians, and various major forces on the mainland.
However, they had never found it. Legend had it that as long as one possessed one of the Universal Magical Weapons and received a response from the Universal Magical Weapon, it would be much easier to find the second one.
"The benefit is that the chances of the City Lord of Grand Emperor City finding the Universal Magical Weapon will greatly increase. Furthermore, unless the Universal Magical Weapon is the Summoning Demon's Hand or the Magical Bracelet, the Zao State won't want any other Universal Magical Weapon. What you need to do is to help us find the Summoning Demon's Hand or the Magical Bracelet after obtaining the Universal Magical Weapon. "Although the Universal Magical Weapon was a Universal Magical Weapon, it wasn't suitable for everyone.
Everyone in the Zao State was a summoner. Summoners could only use the Summoning Demon's Hand or the Magical Bracelet. If they obtained other Universal Magical Weapons, they wouldn't be of any use to them. Instead, they would attract the envy of others. This was especially true for the Summoning Demon's Hand. It was equivalent to giving the Zao State another powerful person on the same level as the Emperor Zao.
The Red Pontiff, Ji Fang, was a person who calculated everything.
Once the Universal Magical Weapon was unearthed, all the major forces on the mainland would definitely fight for it.
There were many people, but there were only eight Universal Magical Weapons. The Zao State could only use two of them. This meant that there was only a 25% chance of obtaining the Universal Magical Weapon.
However, even if other Universal Magical Weapons were unearthed, they couldn't easily fall into the hands of others. This was especially true for the Temple of Dharma and the Zao State.
Other than the three major forces of the five major countries, the Hunter's Association and the Temple of Dharma had been developing very well in the past few years. On the other hand, the Zao State's forces had been stagnant.
If the Universal Magical Weapon fell into the hands of any of the major forces, it would be even worse.
As long as the Summoning Demon's Hand fell into the hands of the Zao State, the Zao State would become the most powerful force on the mainland.
This was why the Red Pontiff made the decision to cooperate with the City Lord of Grand Emperor City.
