Chapter 268 The City Lord's Intention
Zhou Donglai didn't know what was going on. After hearing Huo Ling'er's words, he was suddenly frightened and retracted his hand tremblingly.
Huo Ling'er's voice was extremely cold, and after she finished speaking, all the aura in her body suddenly burst out.
High level of Divine Lord Realm!
Zhou Donglai and his guards' breathing became difficult. The strongest among them was only at the second level of the Divine Lord Realm.
Faced with the pressure from the high-level God Lord, they also felt it difficult to breathe.
When the people watching from all sides saw this scene, their gazes towards Huo Ling'er became even more passionate and respectful.
It turns out that Lord Ling Ye is not only at a high level as an alchemist, but also has a very high level of cultivation. He is a true strong man!
When they saw Master Zhou being humiliated, they began to gloat over his misfortune.
Zhou Donglai usually relies on the fact that there are few alchemists in Sunset City and his own good level, and he doesn't take others seriously at all, even the city lord.
"what happened?"
The pressure released by Huo Ling'er was directly defeated by this shout.
Huo Linger's eyes turned cold. This person's cultivation should be at the perfect Divine Lord realm. The strength is different when it is one level higher.
"Master Guard!"
Zhou Donglai rushed to the person who had just shouted, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Master Guard! You must seek justice for us. That guy named Ling Ye not only injured my daughter before, but now he is openly attacking my daughter and me in broad daylight."
The people watching nearby looked at him suspiciously: "Hey, what you said is very strange. When did Lord Ling Ye hurt your daughter?"
"That's right. It was you who attacked with a group of people just now, and Master Ling Ye had no choice but to fight back against you in self-defense."
Someone said indignantly.
Huo Ling'er looked at the people of Sunset City who were speaking up for her, and she couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart. These people were so adorable.
This is good, she doesn't have to come out and explain everything in person.
Zhou Qin's face was full of confusion and resentment. She really couldn't understand why these unruly people were so bold today and even dared to talk back to them.
"That's enough! The Lord City Lord will judge the right and wrong."
The guard waved his hand, signaling the people around to be quiet.
"Master Lingye, please! Master Zhou, please too!"
His voice was icy cold, which made people feel cold. But he looked young, and his facial features were very outstanding, like an immortal descending from heaven.
He was wearing a suit of silver armor, so shining that people dared not look directly at him.
Being so young, he has already reached the perfection of the Divine Lord realm, which is truly extraordinary.
This guard must be no ordinary person, as he has such great talent.
Seeing this, Huo Ling'er raised her foot and quickly followed without any hesitation.
However, Tang Qi and the other three were blocked by the guards and could not catch up.
"I'm very sorry, the person our city lord wants to see is Lord Ling Ye. Everyone else please stop here."
After hearing this, Huo Ling'er turned around and made a gesture to them.
Tang Qi and others immediately understood what she meant, stopped immediately, and stayed quietly there waiting for Huo Ling'er.
……
"Lord Lingye, so it's really you?"
Zhao Jing was wearing a bright red outfit. She saw Huo Linger in the crowd from a distance, her eyes full of surprise and unexpectedness.
"Lord Lingye, you are in Sunset City? When did you get here?"
When Huo Ling'er saw Zhao Jing in the City Lord's Mansion, she immediately realized that her identity must be extraordinary.
"Well, you've been here for a few days. Have all your injuries recovered?"
After hearing this, Zhao Jing glanced at Zhou Donglai with an extremely cold gaze, then quickly turned to face Huo Ling'er, showing a well-behaved and ingratiating smile and said: "Thanks to the magic pill you gave me, the wound I was stabbed by someone's daughter before was completely healed in the blink of an eye."
When the guard heard this, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly pretended to be indifferent. He glanced at the spirited girl casually, then quickly lowered his head, and raised his head after a moment of silence.
"I'm completely fine now." After saying this happily, Zhao Jing even turned around happily.
"Oh, how arrogant!"
Zhou Donglai glanced at Zhao Jing with disdain, convinced that she was just talking nonsense.
You know, the so-called divine pill must have extremely top-notch and excellent quality to be worthy of such a title. Looking at the man in front of him named Ling Ye, it is impossible for him to refine such a high-level pill.
So, it must be that her daughter stabbed Zhao Jing too lightly.
"Miss San, the city lord is still waiting anxiously over there."
The guard lowered his voice and spoke coldly.
Only then did Zhao Jing seem to see him, and the original expression on her face disappeared instantly. She quietly walked aside and watched the guards take Huo Linger and Zhou Donglai to the main courtyard.
After entering the main courtyard, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sat on the main seat in the middle of the room.
There were people sitting on each side of the man. It seemed that these people were either core members of the City Lord's Mansion or highly respected figures in the city.
At this moment they were whispering to each other, discussing something enthusiastically.
When Huo Ling'er entered the house, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately fell on her and he asked, "Are you Ling Ye?"
Huo Ling'er was neither humble nor arrogant, she straightened her body and said, "It is me."
Zhou Donglai suddenly came over, raised his chin, stared at Huo Ling'er with a gloomy face, and said in a tone full of resentment: "Lord City Lord, this man first hurt my daughter, and then hurt me. If the guard hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have become a corpse now. I beg the Lord City Lord to take charge and execute this hateful man!"
Based on his usual relationship with the city lord and his status in the city lord's mansion, the city lord will definitely not refuse his request.
In the past, no matter what request he made, the city lord would do his best to satisfy him and treat him as a distinguished guest of the city lord's mansion. Because of this, he gradually became arrogant and even began to look down on the people in the city lord's mansion.
How could the Lord of Sunset City not know Zhou Donglai's character?
The reason why he was usually served with great care was simply because alchemists like Zhou Donglai were too scarce in Sunset City.
However, during these two days, Ling Ye, who appeared inexplicably, attracted his great attention.
Ling Ye behaved in a humble and modest manner, neither arrogant nor impatient! Moreover, it seemed that his alchemy skills were quite good, without any airs at all.
If he could recruit such talents under his command, why would he need to please the overly arrogant Zhou Donglai?
However, it is still unclear at the moment what Ling Ye’s specific level as an alchemist is?
If the level is too low, just kill him directly. By the way, you can also use this opportunity to warn Zhou Donglai and ask him to restrain himself a little.
