The man in cloak is reporting the status of this operation to Xu Zonghe.
After hearing the report from the cloaked man, Xu Zonghe's expression also condensed slightly.
Then, he sneered and said, "This Wu Xuan really takes himself seriously!"
"Don't take a pee and look in the mirror to see who you are."
"If it weren't for a master who is the fourth elder, he would be able to tolerate his clamor."
The cloaked man nodded.
He said, "If the third elder does not withdraw from this power circle in advance, or takes the initiative to fight for it, then the position of the four young masters in this domain city should belong to you, young master."
"Wuxuan's strength is not as good as yours, and his talent is not as good as yours. It's just because the Fourth Elder has more power and is closer to the First Elder and the Second Elder that he was added to the Four Young Masters."
"Really speaking, he is really nothing in front of you, young master."
"However, the situation is stronger than the people now. We still have to rely on their help, so we can only tolerate him for a while."
Xu Zonghe nodded.
He glanced at the cloaked man and said, "I've wronged you."
The cloaked man immediately expressed his loyalty and said, "I won't feel wronged when doing things for the young master! But..."
After a pause, the cloaked man continued, "Master, are they really reliable? In other words, can they really give you the ability to take charge of a city?"
"Of course!"
Xu Zonghe smiled and said, "There is a reason why they can be called the Four Young Masters. At least, it is definitely not as simple as you think."
"Needless to say about the group of elders behind them."
"In addition, they are surrounded by many people and forces."
"If people like them are willing to give me control of a city, that's absolutely fine."
"Besides, I only want to control one city, which is not too high a request in itself."
"The current Kunlun Sword Domain has twenty-eight cities."
Xu Zonghe is now just a deputy city lord in Yuncheng.
You cannot make your own decisions about anything.
Even if you can make the decision yourself, you still need to report to your superiors.
Moreover, the resources here are not something he can allocate.
He can only divide it appropriately.
There is no power to distribute at all.
Even the current acting city lord of Yuncheng has a higher status than him.
This made him very uncomfortable and unwilling.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the third elder no longer cares about anything.
And although his father also went to Yucheng to be an elder.
However, he is a marginal elder with no power or influence.
Moreover, because he was following the third elder, not many people were willing to get close to his father.
Therefore, his current promotion path can no longer rely on others.
You can only rely on yourself.
And if you want to be promoted quickly, becoming a city lord is undoubtedly one of the best ways.
Therefore, he agreed to the requests of those young masters and was willing to join forces with them to mess up Yuncheng.
"Master, actually, I think you are a little too hasty."
The cloaked man said, "According to my judgment, since City Lord Jian Wushang is willing to give the position of acting City Lord to City Lord Hao, it means that City Lord Hao will definitely not be simple."
"Moreover, you also said that this Sword City Lord has an extraordinary origin and is a person with a heritage."
"Your father also asked you to get close to him."
"Faced with such a person, you can actually be more patient."
"Perhaps, one day in the future, they can really become your nobles."
"And now, by doing this, you will undoubtedly push them directly into the opposite direction."
"Although those young masters can give you some benefits, after all, this is just a small profit in front of you."
"In the future, if they become stronger, they will not remember your kindness. Instead, they will remember that you threatened them with this matter."
Hearing this, Xu Zonghe's face darkened.
He frowned and said, "Have I ever threatened them? They came to me for cooperation!"
"However, they are looking for your cooperation because they want you to help. They are not trying to give you control of the city. You want the control of the city on your own initiative."
The cloaked man continued, "You are threatening them when they come."
"so what?"
Xu Zonghe said coldly, "As long as I become the city lord of a city, my strength can be improved very quickly. In the future, I may not have the opportunity to be promoted to the realm of the Yuanzu."
"As long as I have the strength to step into the Yuanzu realm, do they still dare to touch me?"
"Besides, the third elder and my father are here!"
"If they really want to touch me, they must carefully consider the consequences."
The cloaked man sighed.
He said, "Master, what I mean is that as long as we are willing to wait, maybe we can have a better future."
"On the contrary, after what we did today, I'm afraid no one really wants to see us."
"At that time, neither the Sword City Lord nor those young masters will take us seriously anymore."
"Even your father and the third elder may not care about us anymore."
"I remember you said that the third elder and your father are both jealous of evil."
Xu Zonghe's face became increasingly sad.
However, he still said coldly, "As long as you and I don't tell anything about this matter, and then directly silence the person who did it, who will know about it?"
The cloaked man shook his head and said, "Master, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. If you want something else, maybe no one will know."
"But, what you want is control of a city."
"Do you think others won't know?"
"And, can you guarantee that those young masters won't talk nonsense?"
As he said that, the cloaked man sighed again, "In fact, when I went there today, I have been thinking about whether your plan is correct."
"After I met Wu Xuan, I felt that there might be something wrong with our plan."
"Because, judging from Wu Xuan's attitude, they don't take us seriously at all."
"They didn't take us seriously at all."
"We want to have equal dialogue with them. In their eyes, we are threatening them."
"And when I left the restaurant, I was always a little uneasy and felt that something was going to happen."
"Although, this may just be because I think too much."
"but……"
After saying that, he shook his head again and sighed, "Forget it, let's not say those unlucky words. In short, you gave me this life, young master. I will do whatever you say."
"I just hope that young master, you can think twice before doing these things."
"Also, I need to remind the young master something!"
"He Min and Tang Hua are not me, and they will not be as loyal to you as me, so master, you'd better be careful about them."
Hearing this, Xu Zonghe fell silent.
He didn't speak.
He just frowned and remained silent.
The cloaked man didn't say anything, he just waited silently.
After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, Xu Zonghe still didn't respond.
The cloaked man then said, "Master, I'm still a little uneasy about the people guarding over there, so I'll go over first."
Then he said, "If you change your mind, you can inform me at any time."
"change idea?"
Xu Zonghe smiled bitterly and said, "It's difficult, it's too difficult!"
"How can we go back on what we have agreed with those young masters?"
"If I really regret it, then those young masters may really point their fingers at me."
"Besides, Tang Hua and He Min will not agree."
"People, they were the ones who cooperated with you to capture them."
"They also want a share of the credit!"
"Besides, the people over there also have their own people!"
As he spoke, he sighed, shook his head and said, "We've come this far, there's no turning back!"
Hearing this, the cloaked man fell silent.
Xu Zonghe waved his hand and said, "Forget it, that's it. You can go down and get busy."
The cloaked man nodded, turned around and walked to the door of the room.
He put his hands on the door but didn't open it.
But after a slight hesitation, he said, "Actually, if the young master really wants to regret it, there is another way."
"Go to your Sword City Lord and tell him about this matter."
"You can say that this was not your original intention, but was dragged into it by He Min and Tang Hua."
"You regret it now."
"Hopefully, we can make up for our mistakes."
When Xu Zonghe heard this, his face darkened.
Staring at the cloaked man, he said coldly, "Are you going to compromise with them?"
"Young master, you can decide for yourself!"
The cloaked man said, "I'm going to get busy."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
As the cloaked man left, Xu Zonghe's face became increasingly sad.
He doesn't hate Jian Wushang.
On the contrary, I still respect Jian Wushang.
Moreover, he also believed in the vision of his father and the third elder.
He felt that Jian Wushang should be able to look forward to the future.
Therefore, Jian Wushang did not have any complaints when he became the city lord.
He also cooperates very well with Jian Wushang.
However, that bullshit City Lord Hao made him feel very uncomfortable.
Especially your attitude toward yourself when you leave.
This is not taking yourself seriously at all!
Even so, he also said that he would be the acting city lord.
But, if he didn’t agree, wouldn’t he say it properly?
Or, you can try to communicate with yourself in private first!
He said that openly, but He Min and Tang Hua were by his side. How could he agree directly?
Besides, if he really wanted to agree directly, then he would have to face the pressure from those young masters.
These pressures are something he is unwilling to bear and does not want to bear.
It's not that he wants to have both sides, but he doesn't want to offend anyone.
That's why he would say something like, "You do the first grade of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth grade."
That’s why we took such action today.
However, after listening to the cloaked man's words just now, he did feel a little regretful and hesitant.
This kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later.
It's just that, if the young masters like Xiao Zicong are suppressed by Jian Wushang, he may be in a bit of misery.
On the other hand, if Jian Wushang was completely depressed, he would feel a little more comfortable.
At least, even if Xiao Zicong and others have objections to him, they will not touch him easily.
And will Jian Wushang, who has the inheritance, fall into despair?
This possibility is indeed possible, but it doesn't seem to be too big.
So, he really hesitated.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no turning back!
If he were asked to find Jian Wushang again, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Moreover, given Jian Wushang's temper, he may not really be able to forgive him.
If not, you might even hate him.
Therefore, he finally sighed deeply and gave up the idea of looking for Jian Wushang.
…
the other side.
Liu Hao was still waiting outside the city lord's mansion.
He didn't leave.
Because he believed that these people would not capture Xu Bing.
It must be placed secretly somewhere.
Because, if Xu Bing is really captured, there is no way Lingxuan and the others will not know about it.
As his own acting city lord, if Lingxuan didn't even have this ability, then his role as the leader of the Fire Spirit Sect for so many years would have been in vain.
Therefore, Liu Hao waited outside with peace of mind.
The waiting time was not long, and soon, Liu Hao saw the man in cloak coming out.
Liu Hao did not follow directly.
He just locked onto the other party with his spiritual sense, and waited until the other party was far enough away to make sure that the other party would not notice him, then he got up and followed him.
Not long after, Liu Hao found that the other party had entered a small room in an alley.
Then, the other party's aura suddenly became weaker and gradually disappeared.
Liu Hao immediately followed him and came to the outside of the alley.
As the distance got closer, he sensed the other party's position again.
But this time, when he sensed the other party's location, he suddenly discovered that the other party was no longer in the small room, but outside the city.
The breath also became very weak.
If his spiritual consciousness hadn't been strong enough, the other party would have basically escaped his tracking.
brush!
Without saying a word, Liu Hao immediately moved and headed out of the city.
…
Liu Hao's speed is very fast.
Soon, the other party's aura became clear again.
He discovered that the other party was heading southwest outside the city gate.
Not long after, the opponent entered a forest, and his speed suddenly accelerated.
Liu Hao did not dare to neglect.
He immediately chased after him.
After chasing for about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly discovered that the other party's breath had disappeared again.
"Although this guy only has the strength of the Yuan Sheng realm, his ability to escape from being tracked is really quite strong!"
Liu Hao couldn't help but murmured, "No wonder Xu Zonghe trusts him so much."
While muttering, Liu Hao's speed did not slow down.
Keep chasing forward.
Not long after, they caught up to the location where the other party disappeared.
Here is a forest.
The woods are surrounded by towering trees.
Ahead is a high cliff.
"Where are the people?"
Liu Hao glanced around, frowned and murmured, "There is no place to hide in this ghost place? How did he disappear?"
