Chapter 1336: Why?

At this moment, the blue-robed vice city lord was placed in a difficult situation. He had captured Ye Shitian. If he handed him over, how was he going to explain this matter to the city lord?

However, if he did not hand him over, this white-robed man, Wang Qi, and the other Divine King realm experts would definitely kill him!

In both cases, he would not be able to return with Ye Shitian.

“I’ll hand him over!” The blue-robed vice city lord glanced at Ye Chen. Although he was unwilling, he could only obey.

He had no choice.

However, one thing was for sure. Ye Shitian had a powerful background!

The Beigong family had stepped forward, so his identity was obvious!

Just when everyone was certain that Ye Shitian was going to be taken away, another roar resounded.

“No one has the right to save someone I want dead!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. When they saw who it was, their expressions became excited.

The City Lord of Heavenly Spirit City had arrived!

At this moment, the City Lord was wielding a seventh-grade Divine King-grade artifact, and riding on a fifth-grade Divine King-grade flying sword. He was displaying his might!

His injuries had recovered quite a bit. At this moment, he looked at Wang Qi ferociously and gritted his teeth. “Wang Qi, you’re just a guard of the Beigong family. I’m the City Lord of a city under the Beigong family. In terms of status and qualifications, I outrank you!”

“Ye Shitian is a great enemy that caused grievous damage to Heavenly Spirit City. I can’t let him go. Otherwise, how can I answer my people?”

“You want an explanation? Then I will give you one.”

Wang Qi’s expression changed, and the Divine King realm experts beside him prepared themselves for battle.

He continued coldly, “This is Uncle Zheng’s order. I don’t care what reason you have for detaining Ye Shitian. My orders are to bring Ye Shitian back. If you don’t agree, you may visit the Beigong family and ask them for an explanation!”

“You!”

The City Lord roared and revealed his true cultivation, releasing his spiritual pressure.

He brandished two Divine King-grade weapons. He said fiercely, “I’ve been fighting for thousands of years. You’re not qualified to act arrogantly in front of me!”

“Don’t for one second think that I can’t kill you all!”

“Today, I will bring this b*stard back and behead him!”

“Otherwise, our Heavenly Spirit City will not let this matter rest!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the thousands of Semi Divine realm cultivators who had rushed over looked at each other in dismay.

Was Ye Shitian from the Beigong family?

To kill Ye Shitian, the City Lord of Heavenly Spirit City was actually going against the guards of the Beigong family. How bold and domineering!

“City Lord, I’m warning you. If Ye Shitian dies, you will die too!”

However, Wang Qi did not attack. He knew that he was no match for the injured City Lord.

The situation was at a standstill.

“Wang Qi!”

“Ye Shitian caused trouble in my city, and killed more than seven hundred law enforcement officers!”

“His cultivation level isn’t high, but he has quite a few spiritual and immortal weapons. This is probably Guardian Lin Chao’s idea, right?”

The City Lord felt that something was amiss. He looked at everyone and said, “Guardian Lin Chao and Elder Zheng are in the same boat. They have always disliked me, so they probably sent Ye Shitian to cause trouble for me yesterday. Are they trying to teach me a lesson?”

“Are you trying to tell me not to raise my own force?”

“You already know that I swore to kill Ye Shitian, yet you want to take him away by force and humiliate me!”

“Do you really think that I can be bullied so easily?”

“You used Ye Shitian to humiliate me, and now you want to bring him back. I will never agree to this!”

From his perspective, Ye Shitian’s actions were probably arranged by Elder Zheng and Guardian Lin.

Otherwise, how could a person from a low-level martial plane possess such courage, strength, and so many spiritual and immortal artifacts that could self-destruct? Someone in the Beigong family had to be deliberately suppressing him!

“What do you mean by this? We are all members of the Beigong family. Why would we fight each other? You’re overthinking things!”

Another voice was heard from above, and the City Lord’s expression changed drastically.

This was because this person exuded the aura of a Primordial Chaos realm expert!

A black-robed old man slowly descended from the sky, with multicolored lights circling under his feet.

He was Uncle Zheng, who had come under the orders of Beigong Ziyu!

Uncle Zheng stroked his beard gently and looked at the City Lord, still emitting the aura of a Primordial Chaos realm expert.

However, instead of attacking, he smiled and said slowly, “You’ve come to the wrong conclusion. Lin Chao and I have no intention of suppressing you. If we wanted to, you wouldn’t be the city lord by now.”

“You! Wait what?” The City Lord was speechless. He paused for a moment and asked, “Then why are you saving Ye Shitian?”

“I’ll tell you the reason so that you won’t be suspicious and misunderstand the family’s intentions!”

“Ye Shitian is a genius!”

Uncle Zheng looked at everyone and sighed. “The Seventh Miss knows about Ye Shitian’s battle in Heavenly Spirit City. She also knows that his bloodline is extraordinary and he cultivates the Nirvana Great Dao. Although he’s only an eighth-level Supreme Emperor realm cultivator, he has displayed courage and determination unlike his peers.”

“With such pride and talent, shouldn’t he be roped in by our Beigong family?”

“The Seventh Miss sent me here to bring Ye Shitian back. She wants to discuss the Dao with Ye Shitian and become friends with him, or maybe even make him a member of the Beigong family.”

The moment these words were said, everyone was shocked.

Whether it was the City Lord of Heavenly Spirit City or the thousands of cultivators below, they were all stunned and taken aback.

“What did you say?”

“The Seventh Miss has taken a fancy to Ye Shitian?”

“She wants to discuss the Dao with him and become friends?” The City Lord of Heavenly Spirit City was dumbfounded. He muttered, “How could a lowly person from a low-level martial plane be chosen by the Seventh Miss?”

The Seventh Miss had an exalted identity and status!

To the people of this domain, the Seventh Miss was like a goddess!

This was because she was the seventh daughter of a Creation realm mighty expert, who was the head of the Beigong family. She was also his youngest daughter. Since she was young, she was the apple of his eye and he loved her very much. The Seventh Miss was not even an adult yet, but she already had a territory assigned to her that spanned ten thousand miles. Her status was even higher than that of some sects’ ancestors!

Such a high and mighty existence actually took a fancy to this little b*stard?

“That is the gist of the situation,” Elder Zheng’s expression was still calm as he said this.

The City Lord of Heavenly Spirit City shot a cold glare at Ye Chen. He shook his head and smiled. “Ye Shitian, you’re so lucky to have caught the Seventh Miss’s eye. It looks like I won’t be able to kill you today. But don’t be too happy yet. Someone with a higher status will soon try to kill you!”
