Chapter 7 - Each With Their Own Ulterior Motives

Zhang Shan, the middle-aged man with black armor was a little flustered when he made this move.

However, he did not dare to disobey the City Lord's orders.

The orange light phenomenon just now also attracted the City Lord's attention.

He did not want to personally appear, so he sent the elites of the city's garrison in hopes of taking control of the young man who could drop the rare treasure chest.

As for the orange scroll...

The City Lord had also thought about it carefully.

Before sending the garrison team, the City Lord had conducted a simple investigation of the mysterious big shot present. But in the end, he found nothing.

Therefore, he guessed that this big shot might be an alone wolf.

Since there was no powerful force behind the big shot, the City Lord thought they might be able to afford to provoke him!

After all, no matter how strong one was, he would have to think twice when he faced a city lord with an official background, right?

Thus, he tried to probe.

He knew that if they put their fingers on the big shot's daughter directly, it would easily anger him.

Hence, the City Lord secretly hinted for Zhang Shan to make a move on the young man who was related to the big shot first... And then he would make the next step after he saw how the situation developed!

If there was an accidental conflict, the City Lord only needed to throw the blame on the garrison team and he would be able to get away with it!

The City Lord was scheming.

It was just that Zhang Shan, who was following his orders, suffered.

When Zhang Shan went to grab Xu Yuan, his hands were shaking!

Before he came, he had heard that the one causing trouble there was an expert in the ninth reincarnation!

An expert in the ninth reincarnation!

Such an expert could kill him easily!

Zhang Shan prayed in his heart that the big shot would not attack him when he was capturing the young man...

"Hey, are you blind?" Lin Mucheng suddenly stood in front of Xu Yuan and shouted, "These two people were the ones who wanted to snatch my things. They deserved to be killed by my father!"

She turned to the crowd and said, "You can ask them. Everyone here is a witness!"

The people around nodded their heads to testify for Xu Yuan.

Someone said, "Captain Zhang, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. The troublemaker is someone else, and the murderer..." But he stopped before he could finish his words.

It was true that one that talked much errs much!

That man almost accused the big shot of murder!

He knew that the big shot might be afraid of the official forces... But as for small characters like him, wouldn't the big shot be able to easily manipulate him?

"I killed them. Take me with you," Lin Zhenhua said straightforwardly.

Zhang Shan could not help but gulp when he heard this. He looked at Lin Zhenhua timidly and saw there was a faint smile on his face. Zhang Shan could not understand the true thoughts of the big shot.

"Dad?" Lin Mucheng didn't understand what Lin Zhenhua was thinking, either. She looked surprised.

Xu Yuan could vaguely guess Lin Zhenhua's intentions, and he could not help but smile.

At this moment, a fat middle-aged man with a round belly squeezed out of the crowd.

"Make way, make way..." The fair-skinned fatty came to the center of the field and asked with a puzzled expression, "Zhang Shan, what happened?"

Zhang Shan was speechless.

He cursed secretly, "Damn fatty, pretending to be ignorant."

The fat middle-aged man was the City Lord of Spring City.

He hid in the dark beforehand and found that the mysterious big shot did not seem to have any intention of clashing with the officials he represented. He was instantly overjoyed.

In this way, he no longer needed to hide.

"Someone died?" The City Lord looked very surprised and said, "Geez! They're members of the Yin Yue Guild! And they're both experts in the seventh reincarnation, definitely the backbone of the guild!"

"You guys are in big trouble now!" He looked at Lin Zhenhua with a serious expression and said, "The Yin Yue Guild is very powerful. You've provoked them, things will be difficult!"

"Then tell me," Lin Zhenhua asked cooperatively. "What should we do now?"

"There are too many people here. Why don't you come to my City Lord's Mansion and have a seat to discuss the process of this matter in detail?" The City Lord's fat body stood upright and said seriously, "Please rest assured that I will definitely handle this impartially and not malign any good person!"

Not only the young man selling the treasure chests.

But also this big shot in the ninth reincarnation or above.

The City Lord decided to get them all at once. He wanted to get benefits from the young man, and at the same time, he could also take the opportunity to make the big shot owe him a favor!

As for the Yin Yue Guild, he had an explanation for them.

In the dark, some people with ill intentions cursed in their hearts.

They thought the City Lord was a cunning person, he actually used his background to get ahead of them!

"Follow you to the City Lord's Mansion?" Lin Zhenhua smiled and paused before continuing, "I wonder if the Guild Leader of the Yin Yue Guild agrees?"

His gaze swept across the crowd calmly.

The City Lord was stunned.

He followed Lin Zhenhua's gaze.

And then he saw a handsome young man with silvery hair and pointed ears walking out with a slightly awkward expression.

"I killed your people." Lin Zhenhua's tone was light as if he was chatting with someone about some daily matters.

The City Lord's face instantly turned pale.

He was very clear about the strength of the Yin Yue Guild.

He didn't understand why this big shot in front of him was so unscrupulous.

He thought, even if the big shot was stronger than the Guild Leader of the Yin Yue Guild, the big shot shouldn't be so high-profile, right?

Yin Yue, the Guild Leader of the Yin Yue Guild, might not be as strong as the big shot, but the power and resources that Yin Yue could mobilize were something that the big shot would find difficult to contend against alone!

So, it was not wise for the big shot to provoke a powerful guild by himself!

The City Lord was thinking about all those things quickly. He stared at Yin Yue, and a bad feeling slowly rose in his heart!

"They were too reckless..." Yin Yue, who had awakened the elven bloodline, rarely spoke in such a humble manner and continued to say, "They disturbed Mr. Lin's daughter. They deserve to die."

Lin Zhenhua's faint glance at that time made Yin Yue see the huge strength gap between Lin Zhenhua and himself!

After a hasty investigation, Yin Yue found out that the person in front of him was the Red Land War God, who was ranked seventh on the Combat Strength Ranking!

Yin Yue immediately felt uneasy when he received the information about Lin Zhenhua from his subordinate, so he immediately set off, intending to personally find Lin Zhenhua and the others to apologize. However, he was found out by Lin Zhenhua just as he arrived at the scene.

"Guild Leader Yin Yue..." The City Lord stared at Yin Yue's handsome face and whispered, "Who is him?"

Yin Yue had always been arrogant.

Now, two of his subordinates were killed. Not only did he not dare to ask for guilt, but he even spoke in a humble tone.

Who was this mysterious big shot?

Everyone present was equally curious and held their breaths, causing the scene to be so silent.

"This is..." Yin Yue asked Lin Zhenhua for his opinion with a probing gaze. After seeing Lin Zhenhua nod slightly, he said, "This is Mr. Lin, Conqueror of the Red Land, and he ranks seventh on the Heaven List!"

"Hiss!"

Gasps could be heard.

Only a few staff members who had known Lin Zhenhua's identity long ago had gloating smiles on their faces.

As for the City Lord of Spring City, his fat face instantly flushed red!

He looked at Lin Zhenhua in a daze. The playful smile on Lin Zhenhua's face made his chest churn!

This faint smile made the City Lord feel that his hidden thoughts had been completely seen through by the big shot at this moment!

"Gulp." The City Lord swallowed his saliva and felt his throat dry up.
