[Chapter 631 Shameless]
The originally noisy Challenge Arena Square suddenly became quiet when the two city lords arrived.
The left city lord Li Jiayao had a calm face, neither sad nor happy, and no expression could be seen. The right city
lord Gao Shengtian, on the other hand, had a charcoal-like face. After landing, he looked directly at Manager Hong. Manager
Hong’s legs began to shake when he saw the left and right city lords coming, but he still had to face what he had to face. He quickly stood up and saluted the left and right city lords with a trembling voice: “Your subordinates respectfully welcome the city lords~”
“Hong Wuyi, you did a good job.” Gao Shengtian blamed him as soon as he opened his mouth. When his subordinates asked someone to report, Gao Shengtian was almost angry to death after hearing it.
But he also knew that there have always been rules for opening an official store on the life and death stage, and it was also the rules set by the big city lord. From the surface, Manager Hong Wuyi did nothing wrong, but Gao Shengtian, who has always been involved in gray income, understood that it must be Manager Hong’s greed for money, but he didn’t expect that he would be blinded by a small Jindan early stage cultivator in the end.
As the deputy city lord, Gao Shengtian had more considerations. He had learned about Yang Yiyu before coming.
He knew that Yang Yiyu came to Sanxiu City three days ago and had a conflict with the adopted son of the leader of the Black Cloud Gang. Today, Xu Qi was looking for trouble with Yang Yiyu and Hong Wuyi opened an official village. Gao Shengtian could guess the twists and turns without asking. In a word, he was attracted by Yang Yiyu’s financial resources.
Money can move people’s hearts, and a leaf can blind them.
That’s why there is the current situation.
When Gao Shengtian learned that Yang Yiyu killed Xu Qi with a sword, he knew in his heart that Yang Yiyu was not a simple Jindan early stage cultivator. He asked his men to investigate in depth, and then Gao Shengtian was furious. He
cursed Hong Wuyi as a fool on the spot.
The results of the investigation were far beyond Gao Shengtian’s expectations.
Qianye Chamber of Commerce had intelligence, and Sanxiu City naturally had it too.
As a result, it was found that Yang Yiyu was the person wanted by Zhaoyao City Lord Tang and Yinyang Sect two days ago. All the deeds of Yang Yiyu and Zhaoyao City were produced.
The information that *** Tang sent to Yang Yiyu showed that Yang Yiyu had stolen the origin stone of Zhaoyao City, and colluded with the white ape of the demon race, communicating with the demon. The two races of human and demon are incompatible. If Yang Yiyu communicates with the demon, this is a big deal.
After learning this information, Gao Shengtian had an idea in his mind and came to the challenge stage.
As for Yang Yiyu’s winning of a million spirit stones as compensation, Gao Shengtian had never thought of giving Yang Yiyu such a large amount of data at all. It was an astronomical figure for Sanxiu City.
Even if he could take it out, Gao Shengtian would not take it.
But he also learned that Yang Yiyu’s words tied everyone’s interests to him. If the City Lord’s Mansion did not take out this amount of spirit stones, it would be a mass incident.
After thinking about it, Gao Shengtian finally thought of a way to use the righteousness of the human race to default.
*** Tang and Yin Yang Sect of Zhaoyao City have already issued a wanted order for Yang Yiyu. The information mentioned that Yang Yiyu had privately communicated with the demon race. If this point is used to make a fuss, the reason is enough.
The financial income of the City Lord’s Mansion was all managed by Gao Shengtian, while the city guards were managed by the Left City Lord Li Jiayao. One of them was in charge of the power of the Sanxiu City, and the other was in charge of the finances, each doing his own job.
This was the order from the Grand City Lord.
In Gao Shengtian’s view, finance was the foundation, and he could not even think of giving Yang Yiyu a million spirit stones.
After arriving at the scene, Gao Shengtian was not happy with Manager Hong. Manager Hong also knew that he was guilty, so he did not dare to speak at all, and stood aside obediently to listen to the punishment.
But the next moment, Manager Hong was overjoyed when he heard what Gao Shengtian, the Right City Lord, said.
Yang Yiyu narrowed his eyes, and saw Gao Shengtian looking down at him and asked in a deep voice: “Are you Yang Yiyu?”
“If there is no one else named Yang Yiyu here, it might be me.” Yang Yiyu was very unhappy with Gao Shengtian’s condescending look. He could feel that Gao Shengtian, the Right City Lord of Sanxiu City, was full of hostility towards him.
“You’re a good talker, but too arrogant. Since you’re Yang Yiyu, it’s easy to deal with.” Gao Shengtian sneered.
He paused, looked around and said loudly: “You may not know yet, this Yang Yiyu is the wanted criminal of Yin Yang Sect, and he is also the person who was ordered by Zhaoyao City Lord Tang to be captured with a generous reward of spirit stones. It is said that this person stole a precious Origin Stone of Zhaoyao City, and even secretly communicated with the demon clan. He is indeed a scum of the human race. Although my Sanxiu City accepts cultivators from all over the world, regardless of their origin, we will not accept a scourge of secretly communicating with the demon clan.
Everyone knows how many of my human race people die in the beast tide in the Great Wilderness every year. Therefore, Yang Yiyu secretly communicated with the demon clan. This city lord has decided to drive him out of Sanxiu City. My Sanxiu City will not accept such scum of the human race.”
Gao Shengtian’s words were righteous, and then he waved to a subordinate beside him and said: “Someone, post the wanted reward notice of Yin Yang Sect and Zhaoyao City for everyone to see.”
Then one of Gao Shengtian’s subordinates took out a jade talisman and activated it. Suddenly, runes appeared, and the notices of Yin Yang Sect and Zhaoyao City appeared in the void.
Yang Yiyu was wanted as Gao Shengtian said.
There was a commotion in the field. Some people who had praised Yang Yiyu at first began to turn their guns and curse.
“Kill the scum who colluded with the demon clan~”
“Kill Yang Yiyu~”
“Drive out of Sanxiu City…”
Yang Yiyu was indifferent and sneered, then used his true energy to speak, his voice resounding throughout the field: “City Lord Gao has a good plan. He talked for a long time without mentioning the issue of opening the banker’s odds of spirit stones. He fanned the flames to divert the topic. Isn’t it just that he doesn’t want to pay the spirit stones? Sanxiu City wants to deny it and act like a rogue, they can say it earlier, why are they so hypocritical?”
Ye Wuxin also spoke up, “Yes, let’s talk about the issue of compensation for the City Lord’s Mansion opening an official bank. Deputy City Lord Gao said that Yang Yiyu was wanted by the Yin-Yang Sect in Zhaoyao City. This has nothing to do with your City Lord’s Mansion opening an official bank to compensate for spirit stones, right? We are all waiting for the City Lord’s Mansion to compensate for the spirit stones. When we placed the bet, we paid real spirit stones.
If we lose the bet and your City Lord’s Mansion wins, will you return the spirit stones to us? Now that Yang Yiyu has won, he has promised to return the spirit stones in full. But you, Deputy City Lord, came up and accused Yang Yiyu of being a demon and wanted to drive him out of Sanxiu City. In this way, you don’t have to compensate for the million spirit stones. I have to say that Deputy City Lord Gao has a good plan~”
Ye Wuxin is no pushover. She is from the Qianye Chamber of Commerce and the daughter of Ye Wudao, the branch of the Qianye Chamber of Commerce in Sanxiu City. She is not afraid of Gao Shengtian at all, and she saw through Gao Shengtian’s wishful thinking. She spoke every word with pearls of wisdom.
Gao Shengtian’s face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. It seemed that when he saw that the person who was speaking was Ye Wuxin, he immediately lost his temper. Ye Wuxin was really something that Gao Shengtian couldn’t afford to offend.
Many people in the field heard what Ye Wuxin said and immediately started to make a fuss, but this time they all pointed their fingers at Gao Shengtian.
“Yes, even if Yang Yiyu is a demon, it has nothing to do with the compensation of spirit stones. City Lord Gao should take out the spirit stones first~”
“Yes, I also bet on Yang Yiyu for ten spirit stones. According to the odds, I want to sell one thousand spirit stones~”
“There is no point in talking more, just take out the spirit stones~”
…
Gao Shengtian was almost pissed off by Ye Wuxin’s words. The hatred and attention that he had finally aroused were wiped out by Ye Wuxin’s words.
Now the topic was back to the spirit stones, and the atmosphere was getting more and more intense. Profits always come first.
Gao Shengtian narrowed his eyes, and murderous intent surged in his heart. Now there was only one way to go, that was to kill Yang Yiyu. Only when Yang Yiyu died, the huge amount of spiritual stones would naturally not be needed.
The only drawback was that some people would make trouble, and then killing a few of them would be enough to deter them.
The amount of one million spiritual stones was too huge, so huge that Gao Shengtian did not hesitate to break the rule of not killing people in San Xiu City.
Yang Yiyu had been staring at Gao Shengtian. Just as Ye Wuxin finished speaking, he felt the murderous intent from Gao Shengtian. He was shocked and guessed what Gao Shengtian was going to do.
He didn’t expect Gao Shengtian to disregard the rules of San Xiu City and be shameless.
In an instant, the Sun and Moon Universe Armor was on his body, and the maximum defense was activated. Facing the cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, Yang Yiyu did not dare to despise him at all.
Just when he felt the crisis and activated the Sun and Moon Universe Armor, Gao Shengtian turned into a residual shadow and rushed towards him.
“No~”
A cry of surprise rang out, and Yang Yiyu saw another figure flying over in his peripheral vision. It was the Left City Lord Li Jiayao.
Li Jiayao did not expect that Gao Shengtian would kill Yang Yiyu in Sanxiu City without considering his status as the deputy city lord. In Li Jiayao’s eyes, this was disrespectful to the great city lord, because he knew the great city lord, and he knew that Sanxiu City could be as big as it is today because the great city lord kept his promises and set an example by abiding by the rules.
If Gao Shengtian killed Yang Yiyu today, it would destroy the foundation of Sanxiu City for hundreds of years, so Li Jiayao would never allow Gao Shengtian to touch Yang Yiyu, at least not in Sanxiu City.
