Chapter 45 The city lord was furious and surrendered to plot
Luoyun City, City Lord's Mansion.
In the side hall, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, handsome face and elegant temperament sat on a chair, frowning and looking out the window with a gloomy expression.
This person is the Lord of Luoyun City, Wang Wencheng.
Seven days ago, his only son Wang Rong went out with his personal bodyguard and never came back. The two disappeared without any warning, as if they had disappeared from the world.
In seven days, Wang Wencheng sent out thousands of elite guards and searched the entire Luoyun City, even all the villages and small towns within a hundred miles outside the city, but there was still no news.
Wang Rong was his only son, so Wang Wencheng naturally had high hopes for Wang Rong.
Not only did he plan to train him into a talented person, but he also thought that in a few years, he would hand over the city lord's position and all the properties of the city lord's palace to his hands, and then return to Luoyun Sect to compete for that high position.
In order to ensure Wang Rong's safety, Wang Wencheng even sent his most powerful golden elixir guard to Wang Rong, which shows how much he values and dotes on Wang Rong.
As for Wang Rong, although he was an out-and-out playboy, he idled around all day long and was romantic.
But he was in awe of Wang Wencheng, the father of the city lord, and would report whenever he went out. Generally speaking, no one would be missing for several days in a row.
Even if you overplay, the Golden Core Guard will remind you.
But for seven days, the two of them disappeared without any warning, as if they had disappeared from the world. It was really weird.
This made him feel very anxious, and he had a strong premonition in his heart for no reason.
His precious son may have run into some trouble, or even been killed.
Thinking that his only son might have suffered an accident, he felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he smashed the tea cup on the table with a fist of anger.
"If my son is really killed by someone, I will definitely capture this person and cut him into pieces!"
Wang Wencheng's voice was cold, like the sound of death coming from hell.
Just when Wang Wencheng was extremely angry, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Dong dong dong...
"Come in!"
Wang Wencheng's voice became deeper.
Immediately, a well-worn guard came in and saluted Wang Wencheng respectfully: "To inform the Lord of the City, there is a guest named Su Hongyuan outside who wants to see you!"
"Su Hongyuan?"
Hearing this name, Wang Wencheng frowned slightly. A face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but secretly thought, what is the second son of the Su family doing here when he usually treats me without pretense?
Thinking of this, he calmed down a little and said in a gentle tone: "Let him come in!"
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walked into the side hall, saw Wang Wencheng sitting at the top, and immediately saluted: "I, Su Hongyuan, have met the Lord of the City!"
Because one of his hands was broken, Su Hongyuan's way of saluting was a bit weird, not bending down and cupping his hands like a normal person.
Seeing Su Hongyuan's appearance, Wang Wencheng's eyes flashed with a strange light and asked: "Brother Su, your hands..."
When Su Hongyuan heard this, his eyes sharpened, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I was attacked by a wild dog a few days ago and my hand was bitten off!"
Wild dog?
A master of the third level of Golden Elixir will have his hand bitten off by a wild dog?
Wang Wencheng sneered in his heart, but Su Hongyuan did not want to say more, and he was too lazy to care, so he said: "I wonder what the purpose of Brother Su's visit is?
If you have nothing to do, please excuse yourself first and wait until the Lord of this city has finished his business before entertaining Brother Su!"
The meaning of Wang Wencheng's words is very obvious. If you have something to do, just say it directly. If you have nothing to do, just get out of here and don't disturb me!
Su Hongyuan didn't take Wang Wencheng's attitude to heart. Instead, he said with a smile: "I came to visit you this time. I just want to talk to the Lord of the City about the disappearance of the Young City Lord."
"Do you know where my son is?"
Wang Wencheng's voice suddenly rose a little higher, his face became serious, and he looked at Su Hongyuan with piercing eyes.
"I do have some clues!"
"Stop talking nonsense, what is going on?"
"I'm guessing that the young city lord may have been assassinated!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Wencheng was furious: "What?
!This city lord warns you, if you dare to talk nonsense, don’t blame me for being merciless."
The momentum around him suddenly erupted, and terrifying pressure swept across all directions, making the air in the house instantly become thinner.
Feeling this terrifying pressure, Su Hongyuan couldn't help but tremble all over and turned pale.
However, he did not flinch. Instead, he stood up straight, held his head high and said, "City Lord, calm down. What I am saying is based on some signs. Although there is no concrete evidence, I am 90% sure."
Wang Wencheng snorted coldly when he heard this, restrained his pressure, and said indifferently: "Say!"
"The city lord has many eyes and ears in Luoyun City. You should have heard the news about the young city lord's conflict with a mysterious young man at the Tianji Tower auction a few days ago!"
Wang Wencheng nodded. That young man had a lot of money. He used spiritual stones to crush many wealthy sects at the auction. He also publicly accepted the Su family's alchemy genius Su Muhan, the most beautiful woman in Luoyun City, as his disciple. How could he do such a thing?
I don't know.
However, Wang Rong didn't have much interaction with the mysterious young man at the auction. They just had a brief quarrel. Not to mention a conflict, it wasn't even a quarrel. How could there be any hatred?
?
Moreover, the young man's identity was mysterious, and Wang Wencheng was somewhat unclear about his details. He did not dare to send people to inquire rashly, fearing that if he was a member of the Shangguo sect, he would be offended and get into trouble, so he did not pay too much attention.
"Lord City Lord, as we all know, the Young City Lord admires my niece Su Muhan. He had a conflict with the mysterious young man at the auction, and it was because of Su Muhan, but he didn't want Su Muhan to completely deny the Young City Lord face. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he even worshiped the young man as his wife.
Master, if this matter spreads out, where will the young city lord’s face go?”
Wang Wencheng was shocked when he heard this.
Wang Wencheng knew exactly what kind of virtue his son had.
He is usually arrogant and domineering, and uses his power to bully others. He is quite famous in Luoyun City. Even some children of sects and aristocratic families tolerate him. After all, they dare not provoke him because of his profound background.
For the sake of face and women, his son would definitely do anything, including intercepting and intercepting him on the road with his personal bodyguard.
Thinking of this, Wang Wencheng's face instantly darkened, and he began to believe what Su Hongyuan said.
"My son's personal bodyguard is a master of the third level of the Golden Elixir, but I heard that the mysterious young man's cultivation level is only the first level of the Golden Elixir. How can I make my son and the bodyguard disappear quietly?"
A smile of success appeared at the corner of Su Hongyuan's mouth, and then he sighed, raised his broken arm, and said: "Sir City Lord, I am also a third-level golden elixir, can't I be easily manipulated by that young man and cut off my arm?"
"How can it be?"
Wang Wencheng was slightly shocked when he heard Su Hongyuan's words.
Su Hongyuan nodded and said with a wry smile: "The young man's cultivation level is indeed only the first level of the Golden Core, but he has two sword-shaped magic weapons that can attack independently. According to my observation, the quality of the two sword-shaped magic weapons is at the top of the Earth Rank Jue."
The person above me has an extremely powerful attack, and even though my cultivation level is higher than that person's, I still can't resist it!"
"Moreover, when they entered the Su's house that day, the young apprentice had a strong smell of blood on him. It must have been shortly after the assassin was killed... When they came to the Su's house, they coincided with the time when the young city lord disappeared, and their strength was also similar.
Match, so I speculate that the young city lord is missing, and that young man is the culprit!"
Su Hongyuan's words made Wang Wencheng's heart sink to the bottom of the sea. He was now 100% sure that his precious son had been killed.
And he died in the hands of a junior with the first level of the Golden Core!
This result was so cruel to him that it was difficult to accept it for a while.
When he thought of this, Wang Wencheng's eyes suddenly turned red, his anger level instantly exploded, and murderous intent surged all over his body. The surrounding space seemed to be twisted and torn apart by the coercion emanating from him. The extremely violent momentum spread in all directions like a tide.
.
"My son, why are you so stupid?
Is it worth it for just a woman?"
"Don't worry, my father will definitely help you avenge your murder and avenge your blood!"
"That bastard dares to kill my son, I will crush his bones into ashes and cut him into pieces!"
Wang Wencheng's voice was full of resentment and resentment, and his whole body was about to be swallowed up by this resentment.
Seeing Wang Wencheng being angered, Su Hongyuan was secretly happy, but on the surface he still maintained a sad look.
"My lord, the City Lord, expresses my condolences. The most urgent task is to capture that man and avenge the young City Lord!"
Wang Wencheng suppressed his anger, looked solemn, pondered for a moment, looked at Su Hongyuan leisurely and said: "Su Hongyuan, since you have such a guess, why didn't you come to report earlier, but wait until my son disappears for seven days, you
Did you just come here?
Did you do it on purpose?
Do you want to use the hands of this city lord to avenge your broken arm?"
Su Hongyuan was startled when he heard this, and quickly shook his head in denial: "How dare I! Lord City Lord, you have misunderstood. In addition to wanting to seek justice for the Young City Lord, I am here to surrender, too!"
"oh?"
Wang Wencheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Su Hongyuan with interest, and said, "I wonder how you want to surrender?"
"I hope that the Lord of the City will help me seize the position of the head of the Su family!"
Su Hongyuan's words were astonishing, "Lord City Lord, my eldest brother Su Zhiyuan is obsessed with the way of alchemy. He has spent most of his life studying and improving the ancestral rejuvenation pill. Now he is almost ready. If I can become the head of the Su family, with the help of Lord City Lord,
, we will definitely be able to refine a low-cost recovery pill, which will improve the city lord's strength and foundation, and when the time comes, the city lord will be more confident in competing for the position of deputy leader of the Luoyun Sect."
Wang Wencheng was silent when he heard this, but his heart was a little moved.
Although Su Zhiyuan has a broken hand, he is still a master of the third level of Jindan and has high attainments in alchemy. His joining is indeed of great benefit to him.
He originally wanted to conquer Su Hongyuan, but he could never find a suitable opportunity.
Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Wang Wencheng will naturally not refuse it.
What's more, if you can completely improve the Soul-Reviving Pill, your foundation will be greatly improved by then, and seizing the position of deputy sect leader of the Luoyun Sect will be a sure shot.
Thinking of this, Wang Wencheng's eyes sparkled: "I have promised you, now you will follow me and cut the bastard who killed my son into pieces!"
"My subordinate, Su Hongyuan, pays homage to the master!"
Su Hongyuan was overjoyed when he heard this and saluted Wang Wencheng respectfully. Then he curled up a cold curve in the corner of his mouth and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will do their best to kill that bastard and avenge the young city lord! However, the magic weapon that bastard carries is really powerful. If he goes there rashly, he may be in danger. I suggest making arrangements in advance.
Manpower, set up a dragnet to trap that bastard, and then besiege it to death!"
A flash of admiration flashed in Wang Wencheng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, but this matter should not be made public, so as not to alert others. When the preparations are ready, the city lord will personally kill that bastard, so that the little beast can never leave the ancient continent.
