The master knocked on the door and walked in.

The city lord waved his hand, and everyone bowed and left.

"Sir, everything is ready."

The master took out a large storage bag and placed it on the table in front of him.

The city lord weighed it.

Heavy and filling.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get ready and leave with me when the time comes."

"Do you really want to leave?" Master asked puzzledly, "Two divine sects have already gone to deal with the demons. I believe good news will come soon."

The city lord smiled lightly, "Of course there is good news, but it may not be the good news that everyone wants."

The master is puzzled.

The city lord put away the storage bag, then clapped his hands, "Let's listen to the music first, and we'll talk about it later."

Once all those who went to encircle and suppress them were killed, the city would be destroyed.

Therefore, the city leader wanted to take all his possessions and leave before the demon came.

The master sat down, but he felt somewhat uneasy.

The city lord has been acting very unusually recently.

The master wanted to ask the reason, but looking at the city lord who was enjoying himself, he still didn't dare to disturb the city lord's enjoyment.

At this moment, a voice suddenly remembered, "The city lord is really very elegant."

"who?"

The city lord's expression changed.

A young man in a black robe, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, had been here for who knows how long.

"Who are you!"

The city lord stood up with a vigilant look on his face.

The master also looked at the young man warily.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions. If you tell me everything, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you'll die."

Zi Chen smiled coldly at the city lord, and then looked at his master, "Master, don't call for people in a hurry, unless you want this city lord's mansion to be filled with blood."

"What do you want to do?"

The city lord looked gloomy,

"Threatening the lord of a city, do you know what this crime is?"

"First question, who ordered you to collude with the demon?" Zi Chen looked directly at the city lord.

The master's face changed drastically. Is he colluding with the devil?

He knew very well what the demon had done recently.

Village after village was massacred, leaving no one alive.

When the city lord learned about this, he immediately issued a reward, even increasing the amount of the reward, and there was no upper limit on the number of people.

The master reminded the city lord that if someone used this to defraud the reward, the city might not be able to continue functioning, but the city lord didn't care at all, saying that as long as the demon is dead, this little money is nothing.

But now...

"I don't understand what you are talking about!" the city lord said coldly.

The light flashed in Zi Chen's hand, and a sealed flesh ball appeared, "Then look at this, do you understand?"

The city lord's expression changed instantly.

At the moment when he lost his mind, Zi Chen's mental power penetrated into the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, trying to find some useful information.

But no success.

By the time Zi Chen's soul search was over, the city lord's mental power had collapsed.

The master was almost stunned, while the maids seemed to be frozen, motionless.

Zi Chen looked at his master, "Have any strangers been here recently?"

The master shook his head, "There are no strangers, no outsiders even come to visit."

"Has the city lord ever gone out?"

The master thought about it carefully and shook his head again, "The city lord has been acting strangely recently, but he has never had any contact with other people from the outside world. In the past few days, he suddenly said that he wanted to collect all the wealth. I thought he didn't like everyone encircling and suppressing the demons.

.”

The master originally thought that the city lord was worried that the demon would come and kill him, but now it seems that this is not the case.

But the city lord already knew that the demon would come, so he planned to leave in advance.

However, the city lord obviously guessed wrong.

Zi Chen took out the previous storage spirit bag from the city lord and asked, "If you become the city lord, can you suppress others?"

The master was stunned for a moment and looked at Zi Chen in disbelief.

Zi Chen did not repeat it a second time.

The master didn't know the other party well and didn't dare to delay. He said directly, "I take care of almost everything on weekdays, but if the news of the city lord's death spreads, it will be almost difficult for me to control the city in a short time.

"

Zi Chen said, "They don't know what happened."

The master hurriedly said, "That's no problem. I can tell the outside world that the city lord suddenly has enlightenment and is practicing in seclusion. I can take advantage of this time to slowly cultivate confidants."

Zi Chen nodded, "Run this city well and don't let innocent people die miserably again."

Zi Chen left all the wealth of the city lord as the starting capital for the master to run the city.

Later, the master announced that the city lord would go into seclusion.
