Chapter 210 Reactions from both parties
“Damn it!!! Damn it!!!”

A voice full of violence and anger echoed in the room!
"They are all useless. How dare they let the Seven Star Sword, which has never failed, walk right in through the main gate!"

But the guard at the door turned a deaf ear to it. It was obvious that someone had used profound internal strength to isolate the room from the outside world. This required extremely high internal strength, and it was probably something that only a congenital person could do.

"Okay, stop being like that!" Another voice as cold as ice sounded.

The young man finally relaxed, took a deep breath, and then bowed, saying, "Master, I am your disciple. I was rude for a moment, and I hope you will punish me."

In front of him was a middle-aged man in a dark blue gown. He had a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. There was a streak of white hair between his temples. He wore a jade hairpin in his hair and his eyes were as deep as an unfathomable pool. At this moment, his face was calm and he looked at the young man in front of him and said calmly.

"I've taught you for so many years, yet you still show your emotions on your face? This is a taboo! First, you are Zhao Shikang, the eldest son of the Zhao family in Jiulian City, but you haven't yet been awarded the position of City Lord. Second, although you are one of the candidates for the Holy Son, you made a mistake this time, causing such a huge loss. If you weren't still of great use right now, I would have sent you to the Soul-Breaking Platform!"

When Zhao Shikang heard about the Soul-Breaking Platform, his face changed in shock. Looking at this master who was always calm and whose thoughts were always hard to understand, he felt lost.

"How could I have known that monk was so powerful? Even the Seven Star Sword Formation couldn't do anything to him. If I had known earlier, I would have let you, Master, take action."

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "I'll take action? Do you know how much resources and time it takes to cultivate a set of Seven Star Swords? I rushed here as soon as I received the news. I'm really more of a hindrance than a help. This time you must take the position of City Lord to atone for your sins, otherwise I can't protect you!"

After saying this, he looked at Zhao Shikang and said, "The position of City Lord is extremely important. We have already invested a lot to help you seize this position. There are only seven days left until the election. You should think carefully about what to do."

Zhao Shikang paced back and forth in the room, and after a moment he said, "The second and third brothers are not a concern. The biggest problem right now is the sudden rise of the fourth brother. But could it be that his account books are also in the possession of that monk?"

"So you still want me to take action?" The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Shikang with a half-smile and said, "He can defeat the Seven Star Sword, which means that even if he is not at the Xiantian level, he is not much different. He has no shortage of combat power. Even if I can defeat him, I am afraid it will take several rounds. Given the current situation in Jiulian City, if I show up, all my plans will be in vain. After all, Old Ghost Xiao is not dead yet. I will never be able to hide this from him. If the secret is leaked, I am afraid the secret vault will be exposed!"

"Back then, the Supreme Dao separated from the Holy Sect and set up its own sect, hoping to join the righteous path. Now, its background has been repeatedly discovered, and it has been wiped out by the Xuantian Dao Sect. In order to avoid being hunted down, the remaining few people contacted us through secret lines, and then we learned that the secret vault had been moved here. The secret line of Jiulian City also played a role. Now we have sent you to the position of City Lord. Then we can find an opportunity to get rid of Old Ghost Xiao, and then secretly open it to take out the secret treasures. In the future, the Holy Sect will be covered with the skin of Jiulian City, and it will be much easier to act in Lingzhou. The Baiyu Sect in Cangzhou and the Xihai Sect in Liangzhou have already become successful. Your advantage is this secret vault that fell from the sky. As long as you can open the secret treasures in it, not only will your sins be atonement, but you can also be recorded as a great merit. When the time comes, your master and I will give you a push, and the position of the Holy Son will be in your pocket!"

The man used both kindness and force in his words, explaining the consequences of failure and the prospects of success. He was painting a very good rosy picture. Even though he knew there was a lot of water in it, Zhao Shikang was still deeply moved and showed some hesitation on his face.

"Master, have you been in the city these days?"

The man chuckled and said, "Of course I am. The secret vault is of great importance. I will be watching here during this period of time."

Zhao Shikang nodded and said, "I'll think of a way. Also, I've found some clues about the person behind Tong Si. I might have to trouble you, Master, to take action personally." The man frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "You know who we are, but if the opportunity is right, it's not impossible."

Zhao Shikang was overjoyed and bowed again, saying, "Disciple, I understand. I will create the conditions and opportunities. As long as I can deal with this person, the position of city lord will be within my grasp. When the secret vault is opened, Master..."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

In a villa in the inner city of Jiulian City.

A man with a round face and a slightly plump figure looked at the steam rising from the teacup on the table in front of him, his eyes a little dazed.

"You mean, you were attacked last night by seven swordsmen at the third level of the acquired realm?"

Xu Xiao stood aside and said, "Yes, Master Tong, this is absolutely true!"

Sitting opposite the man was Chu Youmeng. She nodded slightly and spoke very seriously.

"Fourth brother, it's true. Commander Xu was right. Those seven people were highly skilled in martial arts, and the sword formation they formed was incredibly powerful. If we hadn't been lucky enough to meet Master Mingxin, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had the chance to meet you, Fourth Brother."

Xu Xiao also added: "Not to mention the Seven Swordsmen, even the Skin-Flayer Demon and the Five Poison Demon from the Thirteen Devils of Nujiang River are difficult for us to deal with. We really have to thank Master Mingxin very much."

The slightly overweight man seemed to be still in the dark, speaking to himself, "So, that means you first encountered the Skin-Flayer and the Five Poisonous Demons, two of the Thirteen Fierce Demons of Nujiang River. Then, Master Mingxin, who was taking shelter in the temple with you, suddenly came to your aid and defeated the two demons single-handedly. And then, last night, he attacked again and defeated seven masters of the third level of the Acquired Realm. Is that correct?"

Chu Youmeng nodded and said, "That's right. But Fourth Brother, in order to get him to agree to send me back to the city, I promised him a Linglong Fruit. You won't blame me, will you?"

The man chuckled, then burst into laughter. He slammed the table and stood up, saying, "My dear sister, how could I blame you? I can't thank you enough. You're so young, but you come from the prestigious Guangde Temple. You're kind-hearted, good-hearted, and uphold justice. You'll always help the weak and the weak, and you're also very powerful. This is a relationship that many people would never be able to ask for! If I could just get to know him, it would be a huge benefit! It's just a Linglong Fruit. Hahahaha, if I were the city lord, I would give him more than just one. If he wants it, I'll give it to him! Commander Xu, tell us what happened again in detail. Tell us in detail what Master Mingxin likes and what he needs!"
