393, the city lord invited
393, the city lord invited
Hearing the voice, and then feeling the surging demonic energy of the other party, Mo Tiange and Nie Wuxian stopped in surprise and turned to look at the door.
They were summoned by a mid-stage demon cultivator, in his thirties, with black hair and a short beard and a hooked nose, making him look shrewd and gloomy.
"This fellow Daoist, did you call us?" Mo Tiange saw that this person's eyes were on her and Nie Wuxian, and asked out loud.
This person looked at the two of them carefully before saying, "Not bad." The two Taoist friends, surnamed Liang, are the elders of Xingluo City. β
Hearing this, Mo Tiange and Nie Wuxian saluted together: "It turned out to be Elder Liang." β
Seeing that the two of them were calm, neither humble nor arrogant, this Elder Liang knew that they were both well-informed people, so he brought a smile on his face, and said politely: "Two Taoist friends don't have to be polite, I don't know how to call them?" β
Mo Tiange couldn't help laughing, to be honest, this Elder Liang, if he doesn't laugh, he just looks gloomy, and when he laughs, he immediately makes people feel ill-intentioned.
"In Xia Qinwei." Although she smiled secretly in her heart, she still maintained impeccable politeness on her face.
Nie Wushu just arched his hand and said lightly: "Heavenly remnant." β
"Oh, it turned out to be Qin Daoyou and Heavenly Remnant Daoyou." Elder Liang said a word, and went straight to the point, "I don't know what the two of you have to do when you come to my Starfall City?" β
Mo Tiange glanced at Nie Wuxian. When it came to fighting with someone, Nie Wuxian was not injured and interested, so he raised his chin and motioned for Mo Tiange to answer.
Mo Tiange said: "We're just passing through here and strolling around at will." β
"Oh? I see. Elder Liang's gaze turned around the two of them, as if he was weighing whether what she said was true or false. The next moment, he still had a smile on his face: "The two Daoist friends are outstanding in cultivation, and it is really rare to be able to come to my Starfall City." I don't know if I have the honor to invite two Taoist friends to the City Lord's Mansion as guests? β
Hearing this, Mo Tiange and Nie Wuxian glanced at each other in surprise. They are all people who often walk outside and are well-informed, but this is the first time they have encountered such a situation. It is rare for monks to have a warm attitude, unless they also have the same idea of knotting a knot. Right now, they are just new to Xingluo, this Elder Liang actually came over to invite them so coincidentally, did they meet unintentionally, or did they have some purpose?
Thinking like this, Mo Tiange simply asked bluntly, "Dare to ask Elder Liang, what is the matter?" If it's just each other, why don't you wait for me and the Heavenly Remnant Dao Friends to settle down, and then go to the City Lord's Mansion, how about it? β
"It doesn't have to be." Elder Liang's eyes flashed and he looked around. As soon as he arrived, the entertainer had already stood aside, and now the men at the inn were just watching from afar, not daring to come forward.
He said: "Don't hide it from the two, this matter is an order from the city lord, in the near future, all the monks above the Jiedan who appear in my star fall must be invited to the city lord's mansion." β
Mo Tiange was stunned, and saw that this Elder Liang had a solemn face, although he had no intention of being strong, but he was resolute, she said: "Elder Liang, forgive me, we are all Jiedan monks, if we don't have a clear reason, it is inconvenient to go with Elder Liang." β
She understands what she says. How could it be so easy for a monk to be overwhelmed? The city lord of this Starfall City is just a demon cultivator in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, although they are not as good as them, but they are not to the point of being slaughtered. If this Elder Liang explained well, they were in Starfall City, and they would have to give the city lord a little face, but if they didn't say anything, and just invited them with force, then they wouldn't be honestly tied up.
Elder Liang was obviously used to seeing it, there was no embarrassment on his face, he smiled, and said: "The two Daoists don't need to be nervous, it's just that the city lord has something to ask for, as for what, it's inconvenient to tell each other here, if the two Daoists don't mind, let's talk while walking." β
This Elder Liang's attitude was too calm, it really didn't look like there was any conspiracy, Mo Tiange and Nie Wuxian glanced at each other, and Nie Wuxian said, "It's okay to go and see." β
Mo Tiange thought about it for a while, nodded slowly, looked up and said to this Elder Liang, "In this case, we will go with Elder Liang." β
Hearing this, Elder Liang smiled and said politely, "Thank you for your cooperation, please come with me." With that, Elder Liang walked out of the inn.
Mo Tiange looked at his back and beckoned to the guy who had originally entertained them: "Is this really your deacon elder?" Have there been any other monks who have been invited into the City Lord's Mansion recently? β
The guy hesitated for a moment before he replied respectfully: "Senior, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary monks living in Starfall City can know, and besides, the Jiedan seniors rarely appear in the world, and there are only two Jiedan seniors that our inn has received in the near future." However, this is indeed the deacon elder of our Starfall City, this is true. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zhuji monk dressed as the shopkeeper on the side said: "Two seniors, I know a little bit about this matter. Just yesterday, there was a senior who was invited to the City Lord's Mansion at the tea house. β
"Oh, thank you." Mo Tiange said to them, turned around and went out, and Nie Wuxian followed.
"Nie Daoyou," Mo Tiange said, "You use your divine sense to sense, is there no Yudan monk in the city?" β
After a while, Nie Wushu replied, "Yes, apart from you and me and that Elder Liang, there is only one Jiedan monk in the east of the city who is active. β
Mo Tiange nodded in understanding. The city lord of Starfall City is a monk in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, it stands to reason that there should not be so few monks in Starfall City, it seems that Elder Liang is right, the monks are all invited to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion has a prohibition, and they can't detect it.
The two walked out of the inn, and the Elder Liang was waiting not far away, and when he saw them come out, he greeted them with a smile: "Two fellow Daoists, please." β
Mo Tiange nodded with a smile and followed Elder Liang with Nie Wuxian.
With this Elder Liang leading the way, the low-level monks around him avoided one after another, giving the three of them quite a lot of space.
"Elder Liang," Nie Wuxian lifted his hat and said, "The city lord invites you, what is the purpose, can you say it?" β
Elder Liang casually cast a soundproof barrier and said, "It's nothing important for two Dao friends to come to my Starfall City, is it?" β
Mo Tiange and the others had already answered this question, but at that time, it was very likely that it was casually said, and this Elder Liang asked cautiously again.
Mo Tiange said: "Yes, I and this Heavenly Disabled Daoist friend are just passing by here, and we just want to take a stroll and see it." β
Elder Liang nodded with a smile: "That's good." He paused for a moment and said, "Don't hide it from the two of you, since two months ago, the city lord has invited all the Daoist friends who appeared in my Starfall City to the city lord's mansion, just to do one thing. β
"Oh?" With the scale of Starfall City, not to mention much, two months should be enough to invite more than a dozen Yudan monks, right? Coupled with the monks in this city, it is estimated that there will be twenty or thirty, why do you need so many monks in the city?
"What the hell is this, without the permission of the city lord, it is inconvenient for me to go through lΓΉ in advance, but this is roughly the case. Of course, the two Daoists don't have to worry, the city lord will pay you a fee if he asks you to do something. β
"Elder Liang," after he finished speaking, Nie Wuxian suddenly said coldly, "Is this matter something we can't refuse?" β
Hearing this, Elder Liang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Nie Wuxian cautiously, and then said: "I don't know this below, I am only responsible for inviting the Daoist friends who appeared in Starfall City to the City Lord's Mansion, and the matter is explained to you by the City Lord." However, to this day, no one refuses. β
Mo Tiange raised his eyebrows and did not speak. This thing is a bit unusual, in two months, all the Jiedan monks who appeared in Starfall City have been invited, and no one refused? You must know that most of those Jiedan monks appeared in the world, most of them had something to do, but there were very few people like her and Nie Wuxian who wandered around, and those people had something to do, why didn't they refuse? Just because the person who asked them to do the work was a primordial monk?
Offending a Yuanying monk is indeed something that all the monks must avoid, but how many of the monks have extraordinary identities and tough backgrounds? The forces of this Starfall City are in the Demon Domain of the Beilin Kingdom, and they can only be regarded as so-so, they can't force themselves in order not to offend a Starfall City Lord, right?
From this point of view, either the reward is amazing, and it is difficult for those monks to refuse, or this Starfall City Lord has played a trick, and they can't refuse. What is it?
Mo Tiange looked at Nie Wuxian, and Nie Wuxian was also looking at her.
"Mo Daoyou, what do you think?" Nie Wuxian whispered.
If it's the former, it's fine, and if it's the latter, it's not a good choice for them to go to the City Lord's Mansion rashly. When you enter someone else's territory, you let others be the masters.
But if you don't go, it's not a way, although this Elder Liang's attitude is not bad, he is very resolute. They were already in Starfall City, and if they didn't go now, it would be a trouble for them if the city lord took action himself.
Mo Tiange pondered for a while, and then said, "Elder Liang, what if you don't want to see the city lord in the next place?" How should you? β
Hearing this, Elder Liang smiled, "This is not the first time I've answered this question. Qin Daoyou, there were also a few Daoyou who had said that it was inconvenient to go there if there was something to do, and they really couldn't persuade him, so the city lord went out in person, and later those Daoists agreed. β
Elder Liang just said a few words lightly, but Mo Tiange heard a lot from them. It is very likely that those few Jiedan monks will not go to the City Lord's Mansion with a strong attitude, and maybe they will forcibly leave, and this Elder Liang's "persuasion" is likely to be forcibly invited by force, and if they can't be defeated, they will go to the City Lord. As for whether the city lord of Starfall City personally went out to make others agree by force or profit, it is not known.
This made Mo Tiange even more uncertain. To go or not? If you don't go, you'll probably have to fight, and you're likely to face the Yuanying Monk, and if you go, you'll have to worry about it.
"Mo Daoyou, let's go and have a look." Hearing the voice, Mo Tiange turned his head to look, Nie Wuxian winked at her, and said, "You know my concealment methods, I think, you also have unknown escape methods, right?" β
