Chapter XXXIX
For more than ten days in a row, everyone in Gaochuan City talked about the golden giant and the scorching day that night.
Because the city lord's mansion blocked the news, people didn't know how much blood was shed behind this ostensibly gorgeous battle.
People discuss and speculate about this matter day after day, and it is precisely their yearning and admiration for power that is fully revealed.
It's been almost half a month, and as the only force that rules Gaochuan City, the City Lord's Mansion, has not yet given a reasonable explanation and the results of the investigation.
This made many families and power groups involved in it very dissatisfied, and ordinary people could not detect it, but many powerful forces were aware of this undercurrent of dissatisfaction and the atmosphere that was ready to stir.
And the City Lord's Mansion, as the manager, is naturally full of ears and eyes, and it is natural to discover this sign.
As a result, the City Lord's Mansion immediately convened an emergency meeting, and all the powerful forces in Gaochuan City were invited, and the leaders of each force were forced to attend.
The Xiao family is naturally no exception.
Early in the morning, Xiao Ying set off as a representative of the Xiao family and went to the north of the city, where the city lord's mansion was located.
The boundaries of Takakawa Castle can be roughly divided into five territories.
The Xiao family in the south of the city, the Wen family in the east of the city, the Gao family in the west of the city, and the Jin family in the north of the city - that is, the city lord's mansion.
At the same time, the center of the city is also the territory of the city lord's mansion, which is the best location in Gaochuan City, whether it is commerce, transportation, or spiritual cultivation, it is close to perfect territory.
There are two prestigious academies, many well-known shops, and the gladiatorial arena in the middle of the city is open all year round, and it is always crowded with spectators.
It can be said that the income brought by this piece of land in the center of the city alone is comparable to the sum of the other two pieces of land.
This is also one of the reasons why the City Lord's Mansion is becoming stronger and stronger, although their family occupies two territories, but no one dares to say a word "no", the deterrent power of the Spirit King's powerhouse is so amazing.
In the spacious conference room of the City Lord's Mansion, a long table nearly 100 meters long was neatly filled with people.
There were no empty seats at the table, and no force dared to be absent from this meeting.
These dozens of people, all of whom have good spirits, are the only leaders in the family and in the forces.
After everyone was seated, a tall middle-aged man slowly walked in from outside the conference room.
He was dressed in a white robe, on which were painted mountains and flowing waters. And this painting depicts the geographical features of Takakawa Castle.
This set of distinctive costumes is a representative of the identity of the noble city lord's mansion.
The appearance of the person who came was somewhat similar to Jin Shanheng, but it was more calm and indifferent.
This person is Jin Shan Heng's own brother, the current city lord - Jin Shan Chong.
Jin Shan Chong walked into the conference room and unconsciously released a coercion, this powerful coercion from the strong man of the Spirit King, which made many of the strong men present who regarded themselves very high and unruly as gentle as a family dog.
"Hello everyone. Jin Shan Chong greeted softly.
His voice was full of spiritual power, as thick as a mountain, and it was overwhelming.
The ancestral spiritual art of the City Lord's Mansion - the art of the earth and mountains.
Ever since hundreds of years ago, Skywalker used the mountain technique to make a splash in the sky above Gaochuan City, and the thick and solid earth-based spiritual art repelled the invading enemies mercilessly, and the Jin family's mountain technique has been deeply imprinted in the blood of Gaochuan City.
Whether it is the people who have lived here for generations, or the merchants from outside, they have been impressed by the legend of Skywalker and have firmly remembered it in their minds.
Skywalker was regarded as a savior hero by the people in the first war, and the Jin family also developed faster and faster in the following days, but in five years, Skywalker unsurprisingly became the city lord, and one person ascended to heaven, and the Jin family also enjoyed the blessing and developed into a force called "City Lord's Mansion".
The king-level exercises and accompanying spiritual techniques used by Skywalker have also been passed down from generation to generation, and the most potential person in each generation has been selected to inherit them, which not only continues to consolidate the rule of the City Lord's Mansion, but also prevents the leakage of precious exercises.
Jin Shan Chong is this heir, and he is also the strongest person in Gaochuan City, a real and fake spirit king!
Jin Shan Chong's casual spiritual power made dozens of strong people present feel uneasy, which was enough to prove how big the gap between the Spirit King and others was.
Jin Shan Chong saw that he had successfully suppressed everyone, and then continued: "Everyone here is a well-known figure in Gaochuan City, and there is naturally no shortage of sources, I believe that everyone has already heard of the gold store massacre a few days ago. ”
"It's a shame to say that our City Lord's Mansion has conducted a thorough investigation day and night, mobilized the most personnel, and found all the surrounding towns from all the outsiders in the city, without any clues. ”
"Therefore, I suspect that the suspect is hiding among the city's resident population. And, I have serious suspicions, this man is hiding in the homes of all of you. ”
As soon as he said this, even if the people around him were calm, they couldn't help but panic and began to worry.
I'm worried that the City Lord's Mansion will blame them and come to the door to behead or something.
So, someone spoke below: "Lord of the city, you can't talk nonsense, the forces here have all worked hard in Gaochuan City for several generations, and some of them have even lived here since their ancestors, how can everyone harbor such a bad murderer?"
The city lord did not stop him from speaking, but listened to him, then he nodded, and then said: "This emergency meeting is not to blame you, that is, to report in advance, and then the city lord's mansion will send someone to investigate in the boundary where you are located, and the private residence is also within the scope of the investigation, I hope you will cooperate with the work, after all, this is also for the sake of the safety of Gaochuan City." ”
Faintly, the atmosphere became a little tense.
It stands to reason that no one is allowed to break into the residential area of each family, because it is not only a private area, but also contains the deep secrets of each family, such as martial arts, treasures, spiritual weapons, etc.
If the exercises related to the prosperity of the family were known to foreigners, wouldn't it threaten their status, and no one could accept it.
But after all, it was the City Lord's Mansion who made this request, and everyone here also had words of suffering, and they didn't dare to express their anger.
Jin Shan Chong saw that everyone's expressions were subtle, but no one objected, and he said, "If there is no problem, you can go back first." ”
After saying that, he took back the spiritual power fluctuations that emanated, and everyone suddenly felt relaxed, wishing to leave here as soon as possible.
Just as everyone walked out of the door of the conference room one after another, they heard the voice of Jin Shan Chongxiong behind them: "Patriarch Xiao, please stay." ”
Everyone thought that there was going to be some kind of moth, and their hearts were pinched fiercely, but when they heard that they were looking for Xiao Ying, everyone was slightly relieved, the pace of their feet accelerated, and they hurriedly left this place of right and wrong, so as not to be called over for a separate questioning later.
This meeting was huge, gathering the elites of the entire Takakawa Castle, but it ended very quickly, and only sent everyone away with the words of the city lord, "I will send someone to your home to investigate".
The city lord appeared at the meeting this time, intimidated everyone with spiritual pressure, killed two birds with one stone, and achieved two goals.
The first is also the purpose of the apparent face: to inform the families that a full-scale search is about to be carried out, and that there is no unnecessary resistance.
Second: With the absolute strength gap of the Spirit King, warn those who are ready to move, so that they do not dare to act rashly and lose the courage to resist.
As for Xiao Ying, who was suddenly stopped, everyone gloated, the Xiao family was originally an inferior third-rate family, and within two generations, they jumped into the dragon gate and became one of the three major families, and climbed on the heads of most of them, making them unhappy for a long time.
This can be seen from the previous hunting competition, most people's attitude towards the Xiao family, "nouveau riche, no background", all kinds of ugly words are used on the Xiao family.
A few people came out of the City Lord's Mansion and discussed enthusiastically:
"Hasn't the Xiao family always kept a low profile? The style of acting is the same as that of the Wen family, why did the city lord ask him to stay? I don't believe they can have anything to do with the murderer. ”
"Yes, the Xiao family still has the cowardice of a third-rate family in their bones, although I don't believe they have anything to do with this matter, but I would love to see the Xiao family being targeted by the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"It's best to take the names of the three major families of the Xiao family! Distribute all the land to us, so that we can also develop more!"
"Hahaha, Brother Ming is so thoughtful!"
These people were thinking to themselves here, but they didn't know that the gap between them and the Xiao family was getting bigger and bigger, and it would soon become a chasm that could never be crossed.
