The old city lord gasped, looking at Mu Yu's young face that seemed to have experienced countless trials and hardships, a strange light came out of his eyes: "Although I have poor eyesight, I can still see that you are not an indecisive person. You leave this decision to me."
What’s in my hand? I’m afraid it’s not just because this is my city.”
Mu Yu nodded, the old city lord had a very accurate eye for people.
"I'm afraid that the decision I made will be wrong." Mu Yu confessed.
He didn't want to save the people in this city at all. He felt that these people were not worthy of being saved, and would rather these 100,000 people be killed by the Yumon demon clan!
But when he has such thoughts, he will feel frightened. Such thoughts are inhumane, and he is very afraid that he has such emotions due to the influence of the power of killing.
When he was surrounded by killing power, his heart was full of hostility.
He was worried that any decision he made would be wrong, so he used the Xuanzangtang family as the standard to balance his view of right and wrong, and wanted to let a bloody and responsible person like the old city lord make this kind of life and death decision for him.
The old city lord sighed haggardly: "I am flattered that you put the lives of 100,000 people in Dongsha City into my hands."
This is an important task. If the lives of 100,000 people are in anyone's hands, it will be difficult for anyone to make a choice.
"I'm worried that I will make a mistake, but I believe that you will not make a mistake, old sir."
Mu Yu has been concealing his murderous intention. He just wanted to kill Tian Ziming, but he knew that once he started killing, he might not be able to stop.
When one Tian Ziming falls, a second Tian Ziming will stand up. He can only keep killing until he kills the last person who attacked him in the city.
Therefore, he restrained his murderous intention and did not kill Tian Ziming immediately. He needed the guidance of the old city lord.
"Am I not going to make mistakes?"
The old city lord closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"If even people like you have given up on them, then I will give up on them. I must find the bottom line of what I do." Muyu said seriously.
He wants to prevent himself from being controlled by the killing power.
The old city lord closed his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, all he could think of was the ugly faces of those ungrateful cultivators who were greedy for life and fearful of death. Those who scolded him, wanted to kill him, and wanted to compromise with the Yumon Demon Clan.
It made him feel heartbroken.
He felt like the world was shrouded in dust and filthy. The people in the entire city seemed so ridiculous and spineless. These people didn't deserve to live at all. Their existence was the tragedy of the human race!
"I'm sorry, I can't make this decision for you."
The old city lord's eyes shed cloudy tears. He could not go against his conscience. Muyu handed this decision to him, and he needed to be responsible for the decision he made.
Both of them have a weight in their hearts. The lives of 100,000 people are as insignificant as a feather on this scale, not worth mentioning at all!
What this steelyard really wants to measure is their own principles and beliefs, which are much heavier than the lives of 100,000 people.
The old city lord did not have the courage to pick up the scale.
Mu Yu couldn't figure out the scale either.
"I understand." Mu Yu nodded.
The old city lord looked at Mu Yu: "I'm sorry."
"You have given me the answer, let's go!"
Mu Yu helped the old city lord up and erased the mark of the city defense array from the old city lord.
"Can you tell me who you are?" the old city lord asked tiredly.
"My name is Mu Yu."
"Mu Yu? Are you Mu Yu?"
The old city lord was shocked, and he smiled bitterly: "It turns out that you are the disciple of the true god. It is because I am ignorant and do not overestimate my abilities. I actually want to accept you as my disciple, which makes you laugh."
"No, you deserve my respect."
Mu Yu helped the old city lord prepare to leave the alley, but at this moment, he suddenly frowned, turned his head, and looked at the deserted alley, with doubt flashing in his eyes.
"What's going on? Are they chasing you?" The old city lord glanced at the alley and found nothing unusual.
Mu Yu shook his head: "Let's go! Go to Xuan Beast Workshop, old sir, you can't show your face anymore."
The three figures disappeared into the alley again.
Not long after they left, a figure slowly appeared in the alley.
"Did you notice me?"
At the end of the alley, a figure stood in the corner, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
He stared at the direction in which Mu Yu disappeared, and heard the impassioned scoldings coming from the distance. A gust of wind blew by, and his figure disappeared.
——
Mu Yu and the old city lord had returned to Xuan Beast Workshop, where Xuanzangtang and his family were waiting for Mu Yu. They were relieved when they saw Mu Yu coming back.
"Young Master, you are back! Fortunately, I thought..." Xuan Zhengtang suddenly saw the old city lord next to Mu Yu, and quickly closed his mouth in time, and said in surprise: "Mr. City Lord?"
This incident in Dongsha City has caused quite a stir, and it is impossible for Xuanzangtang not to know about it.
"I am no longer a city lord." The old city lord shook his head.
Xuan Zhengtang thought of something and said quickly: "By the way, Young Master, please protect the old city lord quickly. The elders of the Tianxing Sect outside were so angry that they were leading the whole city to search from house to house to find the old city lord.
Woolen cloth!"
The old city lord glanced at Xuan Zhengtang and felt a little moved in his heart. When Xuan Zhengtang saw him, he was not worried that he would be implicated, but that he would be persecuted. It turns out that there are still some sensible people out there.
"I understand, Uncle Xuan, please keep the matter about the old city lord secret." Mu Yu said.
Xuanzangtang said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir! The old city lord is a good man, and we will definitely keep it secret!"
"That's right, we are not as greedy for life and fear of death as they are! Sir, just tell me how you want to protect the old city lord." Xuan Sitong also said seriously.
"Thank you." The old city lord said gratefully.
When everyone in the city was thinking about killing him, Xuanzangtang's family was willing to protect him, which also made the old city lord understand that not everyone in Dongsha City is ungrateful.
Mu Yu pondered for a moment and asked: "Is there any place in Dongsha City that is absolutely safe?"
The old city lord shook his head: "If Tian Ziming wants to search house to house, he will use the power of the whole city, no matter where he hides, it will not be safe. Mr. Muyu, I think you should not bother, I don't want to implicate you.
"
"Lord Mu Yu? Old City Lord, what did you just say? Mu Yu?"
The old city lord was stunned for a moment: "You, you don't know?"
Xuan Zhengtang, Xuan Sitong and Chishan looked at each other in confusion.
"But... Young Master, you... you are really..." Xuan Zhengtang was shocked.
"I'm sorry, I thought they knew your identity, sir." The old city lord was a little flustered, knowing that he had accidentally let slip.
Muyu was silent for a moment: "It doesn't matter, it's okay if they know it, they can trust it."
"Oh my god! No wonder! No wonder! I just said that you are not an ordinary person, sir. You are actually the disciple of the true god. I am so surprised!"
Xuan Zhengtang recalled that when he met Mu Yu at the beginning, the opponent easily killed the sixth-order monster and the seventh-order monster, and then Mu Yu simply chopped off the head of Yi Feiying of the Dihuang Sect. He could have such strength.
, how can one be an unknown person?
Xuan Sitong and Chishan were also surprised, and they looked at Mu Yu with more respect.
"I don't want other people to know my identity anymore," Muyu said.
"Don't worry, Young Master! We will keep it a secret for you even if we risk our lives!" Xuan Zhengtang nodded solemnly.
He was really thinking a lot in his mind. Who would have thought that when he accidentally went into the woods to hunt monsters, he would meet the disciple of the true god? This is a famous genius on the list of immortals. He was really lucky to meet him that day.
To Koba.
Mu Yu said: "Let Tian Ziming do whatever he wants, and I will protect you."
Then he said to Xuan Zhengtang: "By the way, Uncle Xuan, help me see where Tian Ziming led his people to search, and tell me when you come back."
"Okay, Young Master." Xuan Zhengtang didn't ask any more questions, and quickly jumped up and headed outside Xuan Beast Square.
"Old sir, I will use an array for you to hide your true face. You go change your clothes, hide in the crowd, and don't make a sound."
The formation patterns in Mu Yu's hand surged again, and they were already attached to the old city lord's face. He also used the "Hundred-faced Illusion Formation" on the old city lord's face, masking him as a strange middle-aged man.
"Is there no problem with this formation?" Xuan Sitong asked in a low voice, "I mean, today Ziming is the lord of Dongsha City, and his cultivation level is very high... I'm sorry, I forgot that you are a true god.
's apprentice."
Xuan Sitong smiled sheepishly.
In front of Mu Yu, what does Tian Ziming mean?
"Don't worry, someone like him can't tell." Mu Yu said.
The old city lord quickly changed into a coat, and Mu Yu used formation techniques to cover his whole body's aura, and he became another person.
"Thank you, sir." The old city lord bowed.
"You don't have to be polite, old sir, I will protect the people who should be protected." Mu Yu helped the old city lord up, and then said, "If someone rushes in to search later, just blend in with the crowd and don't make a sound. If anyone asks
Come on, just say you are a guy from Xuan Beast Workshop."
"Yes." The old city lord nodded.
"Old sir, please go to your room to heal your injuries first!" Mu Yu said.
Xuan Sitong quickly helped the old city lord to another room. Only Mu Yu and Xiao Shuai were left in the yard.
Xiao Shuai sat on the table and looked at Mu Yu curiously: "So? Mu Yu, what is your decision now?"
Mu Yu sat down, looked up at the Yumeng Demon Tribe who were still watching over Dongsha City, and then said: "The old city lord's decision is my decision."
"But he didn't say anything just now!" Xiaoshuai said in confusion.
"He said it."
When the old city lord said that he could not make a decision for Mu Yu, Mu Yu already understood what the old city lord's decision was.
