That night, the tragedy that happened in the deserted village, as if a stone stirred up a thousand waves, suddenly caused a lot of sensation in the hermit world.

Especially the nearby Ling Xiao City, after learning about this, he was even more furious.

Soaring City, inside the Council Chamber.

The major high-level officials from Lingxiao City gathered together.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit noisy, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder. More people's faces showed righteous indignation.

"Everyone, you've already heard about last night's deserted village incident, right?" a white-haired old man, sitting on a high seat, said calmly, "Let's all tell us what you think......

As the old man spoke, the scene became silent, and everyone's expressions were serious, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

And as the old man's voice fell. Immediately, a middle-aged man stood up and said loudly:

"This is definitely the greatest shame for our Ling Xiao City, and even our Ling family, in a hundred years!"

"Our distant relatives in the secular world were wiped out by people overnight, leaving not a single living body, and their methods are cruel and indescribable!

"This is almost happening right under our noses! The murderer didn't take our Ling family and our Ling Xiao City in his eyes at all!"

"Please also ask the ancestor to order, I will immediately bring people - no, I will do it myself, at the ends of the earth, I will also cut the murderer with a thousand knives!"

The middle-aged man's words won the approval and nod of most of the people present.

The top priority at the moment is to return a tooth for a tooth and either arrest the murderer and dispose of it, or simply kill the matter with a quick knife.

Only in this way can the impact be minimized, so as not to become a laughing stock for the outside world.

The white-haired old man at the head nodded, then turned his head again and asked an old man sitting at the bottom: "Xiao Ling, what do you think!?"

The old man sitting at the bottom seemed to be second only to the old man at the top among the people present.

Because this person is the city lord of Lingxiao City!

"The Ling family in the secular realm has come to take refuge in us and taken refuge in the hermit realm, I have heard about it for a long time, but I haven't taken it to heart. I didn't expect it to end up being a big mistake. As the lord of the city, I can't escape the blame!"

"I thought that the Seven Star Castle could be properly disposed of, but we underestimated the enemy. But if our Ling family casually sent a little strong help, we would have already put down that villain. ”

"Now that the tragedy has already happened, it's too late. As the lord of the city, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Please also ask the ancestors to punish you!"

As he spoke, the city lord took the initiative to kneel at the feet of the white-haired old man, waiting for the punishment of the old ancestor.

In any case, it was indeed his poor handling of this matter that led to today's situation. The lord of the city took the initiative to take responsibility and did not quibble about anything.

At this time, there were people below, complaining for the city lord.

"The main responsibility for this matter is not to blame the City Lord! The main reason is that those people in the Seven Star Castle are too wasteful! This ordinary person in the secular world can't deal with it, and the City Lord wouldn't have thought that it would be like this!"

"Besides, I heard that the person in charge of handling this matter is a member of the Ling family in the secular realm, and because of his talent, he was introduced to the hermit cultivation realm since he was a child, focusing on cultivation, and his name is Ling Lixin!"

"The main responsibility for this matter must be Ling Lixin. He had been cultivating here for most of his life, but in the end, he was no match for a secular ordinary person who had just come out of the hermit cultivation realm, which was simply a shame!

At this time, another young man got up and said, "To deal with the people from the worldly world, why do we need to be here, tie our hands and feet?

Some of the young children of the Ling family all asked for help, looking enthusiastic, and there were even proposers, so it was a family task for the young people to act together!

"Hahaha......"

At this moment, as if pouring cold water, a sharp harsh sound came, making the scene cold.

In such a serious occasion, this string of silver bell-like laughter seemed very out of place.

"Shi Niang, what do you mean by this? What are you laughing at? Do you think it's funny?" the young man before said with some annoyance.

Ling Siniang is an extremely beautiful woman, and judging from her seat, her status in the family is still very good, far beyond the average young child.

I only heard Ling Siniang laugh and said: "I laugh at you little guys, you have broken brains, and you are rushing to die!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly quiet. Most people were shocked by Ling Shi Niang's words.

Immediately afterwards, the young disciples couldn't help but scold: "Do you look down on us?! Could it be that there are so many of us that we can't even deal with such a hairy boy from the secular world? Don't confuse us with Ling Lixin's kind of waste! We have a hundred ways to kill that kid!"

Ling Shi Niang sneered: "No matter how powerful you are, what can you do, how can you compare yourself to Du Heying, the city lord of Peerless City?"

This sentence immediately sealed everyone's mouths.

The city lord of Wushuang City is naturally not something that ordinary people can deal with. Not to mention that the young disciples of the Ling family, even if they were all present, at least more than half of them were not his opponents!

That's the lord of a city, his strength is strong, and in the entire hermit world, he is also the number one person who is well-known!

"We were talking about the boy from the worldly world, what are you doing with the lord of Wushuang City?" the young men argued.

Ling Shi Niang snorted coldly: "So I said, you don't know anything, so you're busy sending you to death! What's the difference between that Ling Lixin? Oh yes - at least Ling Lixin still has the strength to protect himself, and you can't even compare to Ling Lixin's strength, no matter how many people you go, it will only make the Ling family suffer more losses!"

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but talk about each other.

"Shi Niang, do you have any important news there?" At this time, the white-haired old man led by him suddenly spoke, "Don't sell Guanzi anymore!"

Hearing this, Ling Shi Niang hurriedly looked respectful and said, "Yes, Old Ancestor!"

Then, Ling Shi Niang said frankly: "According to the information I investigated. Ling Lixin also sent a powerful disciple as an assassin to assassinate, which was originally a sure thing. As a result, those people died. But he wasn't killed by the worldly boy. The people who sent them were so much better than that kid!"

"Could it be—you mean, those assassins were killed by the city's leaders in the Peerless City?" someone couldn't help but say in a loud voice.

Ling Shi Niang nodded: "Although the Wushuang City Lord acts in secret, there is no impermeable wall under the sky. He can't hide it from me!"

At this moment, everyone in the Ling family was surprised, and they all exclaimed: "Peerless City Lord! What kind of identity, why do you want to protect that kid, even at the cost of making a move, to be the enemy of our Ling Xiao City!?"

"Because!" Ling Shi Niang smiled mysteriously, "Du Heying, the city lord of Wushuang City, has a father-son relationship with that kid!"
