Yang Chen smiled bitterly: "With my current strength, I can't threaten Lord Huai City at all."
City Master Mu nodded: "As long as you don't have a spiritual weapon in your hand, it's fine, because with your current strength, if the news of your possession of a spiritual weapon is spread, your situation will be very dangerous."
"I also know that you may not be able to completely trust me yet, so you are unwilling to tell me the truth about many things, but it doesn't matter, I can understand."
"I came to you to ask if you have a spiritual weapon dagger, just to ensure your safety. I want to help you solve some troubles. I am definitely not coveting anything from you."
"Okay, I already know what you need to know. You can go back first!"
Yang Chen nodded slightly, then turned and left.
It wasn't until he left City Lord Mu's residence that Yang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what City Lord Mu said was true or false, at least for now, City Lord Mu would not have any ill intentions towards him.
As soon as Yang Chen left, a mysterious strong man in black robes came out, looked at City Lord Mu and said, "Do you really believe what that kid said?"
City Lord Mu shook his head: "He does have a spiritual weapon dagger in his hand!"
The mysterious black-robed strong man asked: "Now that you know it, why don't you let him go? Are you not moved?"
City Master Mu smiled, looked at the other person and said, "It would be hypocritical to say that I am not moved! But, even if I am moved, so what? Is it possible that I really want to snatch something from a junior?"
"Besides, with the martial arts talent this kid has shown, would you believe it if he didn't have a powerful protector behind him?"
"I can guarantee that once I steal his spiritual weapon, he will fight tooth and nail with me. Once I lure out the protector behind him, Mu Mansion will not be able to do anything to him."
The mysterious black-robed strongman nodded slightly: "With the Seventh Extraordinary Realm, you can understand the power of the water element. Your martial arts talent is indeed outstanding."
"Having a spiritual weapon and understanding the power of the water element is really enviable and jealous!"
City Master Mu laughed loudly: "There are also juniors who make you envious, jealous and hateful?"
After saying that, his smile faded, and he suddenly said solemnly: "Although this boy concealed the spiritual weapon dagger, he probably didn't lie to me about what he just said."
"In other words, the reason why the Lord of Huai City sent people to hunt him down is because he is afraid of his martial arts talent. Only by killing Yang Chen can the Lord of Huai City feel at ease."
"Besides, if Lord Huai City knew that Yang Chen had a spiritual weapon dagger in his hand, he would have come to hunt him down himself."
The strong man in black robe nodded slightly: "Yes, a spiritual weapon is so attractive that even the strongest in the ninth extraordinary realm will covet it."
"Since Lord Huai City doesn't know about it, it means that the only people who know about it are the Ding family. Now that Ding Chang has been killed by me, the only person who knows about it is Ding Wu."
The strong man in black robe is none other than the shadow swordsman who appeared in Ding's house before and killed Ding Chang instantly.
City Lord Mu nodded, narrowed his eyes and said: "It seems that we must find a way to get rid of this Ding Wu, otherwise once the news of Yang Chen's possession of the spiritual weapon is leaked, the Mu Mansion will instantly become the target of public criticism!"
"When that time comes, even if I want to keep Yang Chen, I won't be able to."
The shadow swordsman narrowed his eyes and said: "In that case, I will go to the Ding family again and kill Ding Wu. No one will leak this news."
City Master Mu shook his head: "Ding Wu is a strong man in the middle stage of the Nine Transcendent Realms. Coupled with the Ding family's secret method of the golden bell, even a strong man in the late stage of the Nine Transcendent Realms will have a hard time killing him."
The shadow swordsman said: "Now that Ding Chang has been killed by me, what if Ding Wu deliberately leaked the news that Yang Chen was carrying a spiritual weapon in order to deal with the Mu family?"
