The city lord was furious and smashed the seat with his palm.
Tianfeng City must turn over a certain number of faith stones to the Tianmo Sect every year.
The mortals in the village are the main source of worshipers in the Eternal Palace in the main city.
The number of worshippers is closely related to the number of faith stones produced by the Eternal Palace in the main city.
As the number of worshipers decreases, the faith stones produced by the Eternal Palace in the main city will decrease accordingly!
Now that a large number of mortals have disappeared, Tianfeng City may not be able to hand over a sufficient number of faith stones to the Tianmo Sect by the end of this year, and the Tianmo Sect will definitely punish them at that time.
He is the lord of Tianfeng City and will bear the brunt of the attack.
Only by finding the culprit can it be possible to appease the Demon Sect.
"Who did this?" the city lord stood up and asked.
The commanders looked at each other in confusion, hesitating, and no one could tell. They didn't even see the shadow of the real murderer, so they didn't know who did it.
"Commander Xu, tell me." The city lord looked at Commander Xu again.
Commander Xu informed the city lord of the matter.
The same was true for other villages, and all the leaders agreed.
"Su Muli carrot?"
The city lord whispered softly, his eyes showing contemplation, he paused, then looked at the commanders, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
All the commanders bowed their heads in silence.
Anger appeared on the face of the city lord.
"Sir, I have a guess." Commander Zhang of Qingshan Village suddenly said.
"explain!"
"Monks often regard mortals as ants and grass. The word "carrot" in this sentence is not actually a real carrot, but refers to the mortals in each village. This Su Mu is a casual cultivator, and he is very likely to practice.
Evil skills require the blood and life of mortals. What Su Mu Li Luo Cai means is that this casual cultivator Su Mu has organized and taken away the mortals in each village."
These words were not the speculation of Commander Zhang, but the words of one of his more astute subordinates.
Seeing that the city lord was showing signs of anger towards everyone, Commander Zhang stood up and explained.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, let's stabilize the city lord first.
Otherwise, if the city lord becomes angry, everyone present will suffer.
Commander Zhang did not mention the details of the disappearance of all livestock and daily items. After hearing the explanation, the city lord felt that this explanation was reasonable.
"Su Mu!" The city lord snorted softly, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
This casual cultivator named Su Mu kidnapped all the mortals in the village and left the same sentence in every village. This was clearly a provocation to Tianfeng City!
"Commander Xu, send an order to summon the heads of all the major families in the city." The city lord said.
Commander Xu stepped away and left.
Following the city lord's order, the atmosphere in Tianfeng City became solemn.
"Oh my god! What happened?"
"All the heads of the major families, no matter how big or small, have all gone to the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Is it possible that some elders are coming to Tianfeng City?"
"I'm afraid that's the case, otherwise why would the city lord summon all the heads of families?"
"But it's not the end of the year yet, and I haven't heard any news that the visiting elder is coming to our Tianfeng City."
"The city lord summoned the heads of the major families, not because there are elders coming here. Don't you know yet? A big thing happened in our Tianfeng City recently!" The monk who spoke seemed to be somewhat similar to the leading men of the city lord's palace.
Relationship, I already know about the disappearance of mortals.
"May I ask this friend, what big things happened in Tianfeng City recently?"
Everyone looked curious and came over to ask.
"I don't take advice seriously. I only heard some rumors. It is said that all the mortals in the villages near Tianfeng City have disappeared."
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned and looked shocked.
The mortals in the village are the main source of worshipers in the Eternal Palace in the main city!
Mortals are closely related to the amount of Faith Stone produced by the Eternal Palace in the main city.
No wonder the city lord suddenly summoned all the family heads in the city.
This matter is too serious!
Endangering the entire Tianfeng City.
"Who is so bold?" Everyone asked after calming down.
"It's not just bold, it's simply audacious! It is said that in all the villages where mortals disappeared, there was a message left behind." The monk continued.
"What is it?" Everyone looked curious.
"Su Muli radish."
"Su Muli carrot?"
"What's the meaning?"
"What else can it mean? Don't we monks regard mortals as ants and grass? The word carrot in this sentence is not actually a real carrot, but an allusion to the mortals in each village. This Su Mu is a casual
Cultivating, and most likely cultivating evil skills, requires the blood and lives of mortals. What Su Mu Li Luo Cai means is that this casual cultivator Su Mu has collected the mortals in each village."
"So, this casual cultivator Su Mu is really audacious! Not only did he kidnap the mortals in each village, but he even left a message to provoke the city lord's palace."
"This man is too arrogant and will not live long. The Lord of the City will never spare him."
"The Lord of the City has summoned all the major families. When the City Lord's Mansion and the major families join forces, this Su Mu will have no chance of escaping."
There was a guest sitting at a table near the window of the restaurant. He was dressed in black, drinking alone, listening to everyone's discussion, his eyes were indifferent and unwavering.
In the restaurant, everyone was talking about the mortal's disappearance, but he was the only one sitting there, drinking alone, looking a little different.
But the people who were discussing did not dare to disturb the black-clothed monks, and even chose to stay away from the black-clothed monks.
This black-clothed monk has no spiritual energy fluctuations on his body, but just sitting there gives people an extremely dangerous feeling.
Everyone subconsciously believed that the monk in black was at an extremely high level, so they could not see through his cultivation and could not sense any fluctuations in his aura.
The monk in black drinking alone is the Thunder Dharmakaya.
Zhang Yao knew the inside world well and sneaked into Tianfeng City without any trouble.
No one would have thought that the rogue cultivator 'Su Mu' who kidnapped mortals from every village was in the largest restaurant in Tianfeng City.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhang Yao was not satisfied. Although this incident made a fuss, its impact was limited to the vicinity of Tianfeng City.
"It seems the movement needs to be louder!" Zhang Yao thought to himself.
City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord City Lord." The heads of the major families in Tianfeng City gathered together and saluted the City Lord.
The gossip about the disappearance of mortals in various villages has spread in the city, and the heads of all the major families are already aware of it.
Now the city lord has summoned everyone, and the minds of all the masters are like mirrors. It seems that this matter is absolutely true!
"Every family head, I must have heard the news." The city lord paused for a moment, and seeing many family heads nodding, the city lord said quietly: "The life and death of mortals does not matter, but if Tianfeng City cannot hand over enough confidence stones at the end of the year, we will come to investigate.
Get up, everyone here today will be blamed."
"Our family is at the disposal of the Lord of the City." All the family heads knew that this matter was extremely serious. If the real culprit could not be caught and they came to investigate, they would be the ones to bear the wrath of the family.
"good!"
"All the family heads listened to the order and quickly returned to their families to summon monks above the third level to gather at the east gate at the appointed time."
"All the commanders listened to the order, summoned the monks of the third grade and above from each department, gathered at the east gate at the right time, united the major families, and searched for the casual cultivator Su Mu throughout the city!"
Everyone agreed loudly and then dispersed to prepare.
