"We ask to see the city lord!" The old woman and others submitted an application to see the city lord, and it was explained that it was related to the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum. In this way, the city lord can avoid "combusy business" and have no time to summon him for a long time.
Sure enough, the old woman's approach was correct. In just less than a quarter of an hour, they were summoned.
The old woman and others rushed to the city lord's mansion and came to a hall.
"Meng Lingrong pays homage to the city lord!"
The old woman spoke.
The other four people also stepped forward, bowed, bent down, reported their identities, and had a respectful attitude.
Top.
The city lord's eyes were quite sharp. His eyes swept across the old woman and others, and finally frozen on Lin Bei's body.
"Sit all."
The city lord spoke.
The old woman and others then got up and found a seat to sit down.
Of course, "Lin Bei" is not included.
"Lin Bei" was still standing in the hall. However, he showed a sense of awe, as if he was a little curious, but he did not dare to look directly at the city lord.
"Where is the Soul-Devouring Man's Skin Drum?"
After the old woman and others sat down, the city lord asked a question.
The old woman immediately stood up and said, "Report to the city lord, the Soul-Devouring Man Skin Drum is on Lin Bei. We just captured him, but if we forcefully seize the Soul-Devouring Man Skin Drum, he will die together. To be on the safe side,
We just suppressed him. Then he said that he wanted to join the purgatory and was willing to take the initiative to hand over the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum, so we brought him back and asked the city lord to decide!"
"So that's it." The city lord nodded. Then, he waved his hand and signaled the old woman and others to go down.
The old woman and others did not dare to ask any more questions, so they quickly stood up and left the hall.
In the hall, only the city lord and "Lin Bei" are left!
"Where is the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum?" asked the city lord, his eyes still sharp, but there was no such sensational feeling.
"Lin Bei" then looked at him: "Does hand over the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum mean that I can join Purgatory?"
"Super the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum, I will report your situation and wait for the decision from above. Before that, I will not hurt you, I just need to stay in the city lord's mansion." The city lord responded.
Because it involves the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum and the pursuit order issued by the headquarters, even he cannot handle Lin Bei privately and needs to report the situation.
But he was also a little excited in his heart. Through his hands, he retrieved the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum and handed it over. Even if he would not get the God Fruit, he would definitely have a share of the credit.
This is a silly profit!
"Then please report it first. If you agree to join the purgatory, or cancel the pursuit order for me, I will hand over the Soul-Devouring Man Skin Drum. The City Lord doesn't have to worry about me playing tricks.
Any tricks, next, I will stay in the city lord's mansion, and every move I make will be under the surveillance of the city lord."
"Lin Bei" spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the city lord's eyes narrowed slightly, and a suffocating sense of oppression instantly filled the entire hall. It made "Lin Bei" overwhelmed and used all his strength to activate his own strength, which was just barely blocked.
He just knelt down because he was suppressed.
"Mr. City Lord, if you want to kill me, just kill me directly. Anyway, if you can't join purgatory or cancel the pursuit order for me, I've obtained today and cannot survive tomorrow."
"Lin Bei" gritted his teeth and held on, and said with great difficulty.
"Are you threatening me?" The city lord stared at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei shook his head: "I dare not! I just want to survive, and the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum is my dependence on saving my life. I want to seize this life-saving straw!"
The city lord stared at Lin Bei and said nothing.
In the hall. Silence.
But it is filled with a terrible atmosphere.
"If I had known today, why should I have been there?" The city lord snorted coldly.
Lin Bei naturally knew that he was snatching the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum.
Lin Bei said: "At that time, I was greedy and lacked awe of purgatory! Now I regret it. I want to make up for it!"
"Ha!" the city lord sneered.
However, after a few breaths, he said, "Okay, for your honesty, I will give you this opportunity, so you can stay in the city lord's mansion and wait for the news."
Of course, he did not appreciate Lin Bei. The reason why he agreed to Lin Bei's decision was quite similar to the ideas of the old woman and others.
In fact, Lin Bei seized the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum and is now willing to hand it over. It is a good thing for the city lord to join Purgatory.
If the others in their purgatory had obtained the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum at that time, the Soul-Devouring Human Skin Drum had nothing to do with him.
But now...that's different!
...
Next.
Lin Bei retreated from the hall.
"Lin Bei, what's going on?"
The old woman and others had previously withdrawn from the hall, but did not leave the city lord's mansion. When they saw Lin Bei coming out, they hurried forward to ask.
Also. I don't care about Lin Bei.
Lin Bei's life and death have a relationship with them.
They just care whether they can get the God of Heaven!
Lin Bei shrugged and said, "Let's wait for the news!"
As Lin Bei finished speaking, a maid also came over and said, "Come with me!"
She took Lin Bei to a side hall where guests were served and said, "Next. You will live here. Without permission, you must not leave here half a step."
After saying that, the maid left.
Lin Bei smiled and went straight into the house, waiting for the news!
...
The other side.
The city lord sat on the throne, and in front of him was a simple round mirror with a bronze handle and a brass mirror.
"Lin Bei, who took away the Soul-Devouring Man's Skin Drum, has come to the City Lord's Mansion. In order to survive, he applied to join the Purgatory, hoping to revoke the pursuit order for him. Only in this way can he be willing to hand over the Soul-Devouring Man's Skin Drum, otherwise,
I would rather burn with the Soul-Devouring Man's Skin Drum and Jade!"
After the city lord said this, the ancient mirror with a bronze handle and brass mirror produced a mysterious fluctuation, as if connecting somewhere, passing on his words.
After a moment.
The city lord put away the mirror.
As Lin Bei is waiting for news...
Similarly, he needs to wait for a reply!
After putting away the mirror, he looked at the place where Lin Bei was. In his eyes, all the buildings were as if nothing had happened, allowing him to clearly see Lin Bei's movements.
This is different from the exploration of spiritual consciousness.
It will not allow the person being investigated to feel any sense of being spying on it.
"I hope this kid can bring me some credit. In this way, I will be more confident to be promoted as soon as possible and enter the elder class."
