The city lord of the City of Hope was a dry-looking old man, and he didn't know how many black magic stones he had absorbed, and he had actually reached the cultivation of the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor.

Hearing the report of the old woman under him, the face of the city lord was like a pool of stagnant water, and the murderous aura gradually condensed in his eyes.

The old woman thought that the city lord blamed herself, and hurriedly said: "City lord, since that is the real Master Zhang, the old woman is willing to atone for the crime." ”

The city lord looked at the old woman, and only after half a sound did he say, "Oh? ”

The old woman said: "Because of the misunderstanding before, Master Zhang was humiliated, so my subordinates came to apologize and invited Master Zhang to settle in the City of Hope, which can release the suspicion and increase the comprehensive strength of my city......"

The old woman said, and the city lord thought for a moment: "But!"

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her, and then withdrew from the city lord's mansion, the city lord's hand resting on the armrest of the throne, and the green tendons on the back of her hand burst out.

With a click, the handrail was crushed by the city lord, and I only heard the city lord gritting his teeth and muttering to himself: "Zhang Ye, I didn't expect you to really come, there is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door to hell to vote for, very good!"

......

The next day, Zhang Ye opened his doors as usual, after yesterday's dispute between truth and falsehood, his fame became more and more high, and Zhang Ye refined the Shuangdao Spiritual Treasure at a nine-percent discount, and the monks flocked to it.

The queue in front of the blacksmith shop almost ran through the entire settlement outside the city, and there was a steady stream of immortals in the city to queue up.

However, a well-armored team, led by several Immortal Emperor powerhouses, rumbled out.

Zhang Ye just sent away a customer, saw this scene, recognized the leading old woman and other immortal emperors, frowned, didn't he come to find fault again?

The customers were a little frightened and got out of the way, and the old woman and the others went straight to the door of the blacksmith shop.

Just when everyone thought that Master Zhang was going to conflict with the forces in the city, they saw the leading old woman waiting for the Immortal Emperor, and bowed down: "The old man didn't know Mount Tai before, and he offended Master Zhang, so I ask Master Zhang to forgive me!"

"The lord of my family arranged a shop for Master Zhang in the city, and as an apology, I asked Master Zhang to accept it. ”

Although the forces in the city were apologizing to Zhang Ye, these poor immortals outside the city suddenly had their waists all the way, and the city had always felt superior, and they never thought that there would be such a time to grovel!

Zhang Ye didn't have a good face for these people, he was arrogant and unreasonable before, and didn't let himself enter the city, but now that he knows his identity, he wants to come and ask for guilt?

Zhang Ye didn't pay attention, and said directly: "Next." ”

The customers in line were a little afraid, but with the encouragement of Zhang Ye's eyes, they happily entered the shop and discussed the forging of Lingbao. From time to time, the customer glanced at the groveling forces in the city outside the shop, it was really cool, forging a spiritual treasure, and he could ride on the head of the forces in the city.

The old woman and a few people came to ask for guilt, but Zhang Ye directly ignored them, even if the other party was the real Master Zhang, then it shouldn't be so arrogant, right?

However, the old woman did not dare to get angry, and continued to maintain the posture of bowing down and pleading guilty.

In this way, from early in the morning to the sun, Zhang Ye saw that the old woman and the others had not left, so he said, "Okay, you can go back." ”

The old woman straightened up at this time, her bones clicked, and the old woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you Master Zhang for forgiving your sins, I don't know when Master Zhang moved into the city?"

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone outside the city showed reluctance, once Master Zhang entered the city, they poor immortals would no longer be able to find Master Zhang to forge spiritual treasures.

I really hope that Master Zhang won't leave, but it's impossible to think about it, it's messy and dirty outside the city, Master Zhang will definitely leave.

Everyone looked at each other, but Zhang Ye said: "It's good here, please go back." ”

Well, Master Zhang refused to go to the city to develop? Everyone was puzzled, but they were also happy.

The old woman was stunned and persuaded: "Master Zhang, the development of the city is more suitable for you, and it is beneficial and harmless for you and the City of Hope!"

Zhang Ye said: "Get out!"

The old woman took a step back, looked at Zhang Ye in disbelief, her face was red with anger, and she finally gritted her teeth: "Withdraw!"

Even if this trip is to ask for sin, but everyone is an immortal emperor, Zhang Ye really doesn't give any face. So the old woman also held her breath and left.

After the forces in the city left, the customers cheered: "Master Zhang is mighty!"

Zhang Ye didn't say anything, he didn't want to pretend, the main thing was that he had already opened a store here, and he couldn't say that if you asked me to move it, I had to move it, right?

......

The old woman returned to the city lord and replied: "City lord, that Zhang Ye is really arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't even take the city lord's orders in his eyes at all......

The city lord's face sank like water, and he thought in his heart that if Zhang Ye could enter the city, it would naturally be better, and he could use all means to make him ruined and kill him again. This is also the reason why the city lord let the fake Zhang Ye behave in the city before, just to ruin Zhang Ye's reputation.

But now, Zhang Ye refuses to enter the city, so is there any other way?

The city lord pondered for a moment and snorted: "What does it matter if Master Zhang enters the city or not, he is all serving the common people in the heavenly realm." ”

The old woman praised the city lord's bearing, and then said goodbye and left.

The city lord paced a few steps and came to the back garden, where the birds and flowers were fragrant, and in this troubled world, it seemed like heaven.

It's a pity that in the middle of such a beautiful garden, there is a lonely grave, and the tombstone in front of the grave is impressively engraved: "The tomb of the beloved son Nangong Wuji!"

The hand of the city lord gently stroked the tombstone, and his voice trembled a little: "Son, that Zhang Ye killed you, and brought other people's heads to worship in front of you for his father, and that Su Jin, it is yours, after all, it is yours, and my father will let him be buried with you!"

It turned out that this city lord was the North Tianzun of the Immortal Realm, Nangong Lie. When he was in the Heavenly Realm, he was leading his troops to resist the Central Immortal Court, and when he saw that he couldn't live, suddenly the Heavenly Realm cataclysmic, he saw the opportunity quickly, and he survived in the hands of those dark demon gods.

Nangong Lie sensed that his son was killed, and after a long time, he found Nangong Wuji's bones, Nangong Lie was heartbroken, and vowed to kill Zhang Ye to avenge his son, so he took Nangong Wuji's bones, hid in the nether, assumed the name Nian Wuji, established a city, and slowly developed his power.

Just imagine, if it weren't for the big names in the Heavenly Realm, who would be able to establish a Xiongcheng so quickly in such troubled times?

Of course, some people may ask, Nangong Lie is now a cultivator in the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor, and there are still many strong people in the early stage of the Immortal Emperor under his hands, rushing up together and killing Zhang Ye.

In fact, Nangong Lie knew that these immortal emperors had a lot of water, and in Zhang Ye's hands, there were Hongmeng treasures such as the Six Realms of Reincarnation, which could not be defeated head-on.

Therefore, Nangong Lie's plan is to introduce Zhang Ye into the City of Hope, and when the time comes, there will always be a way to cheat in an urn, and there will always be a way to kill him.

Now that Zhang Ye refuses to enter the city, Nangong Lie has also thought of a way to deal with it, as for the specifics, we will see later.

......

Zhang Ye helps people forge spiritual treasures outside the city, although not everyone can forge high-level spiritual treasures, but Zhang Ye's wealth is still accumulating day by day, and over time, he will be able to unlock the forging skills of Hongmeng Treasure.

But during this period, there were gradually some rumors outside the city, mainly saying that the spirit treasure forged by Zhang Ye could not kill the Black Demon God, and when the Black Demon God came, he still had to rely on the power of the City of Hope to drive away the Black Demon God, and Zhang Ye came to collect money.

At the beginning, everyone was noncommittal about this statement, after all, looking for Zhang Ye to forge a spiritual treasure was not to use it to deal with the Black Demon God, but mainly to have more self-preservation power in these last days. You must know that now is a troubled time, and it is not only the dark god who is dangerous, the wicked are rampant, and there are many things of burning, killing and looting.

Zhang Ye didn't take these rumors to heart, if it doesn't work, it won't work.

But somehow, there was another voice outside the city, saying that Zhang Ye's spirit treasure was the nemesis of the Black Demon God, and many people said that they had seen someone kill the Black Demon God with Master Zhang's spirit treasure.

Everyone originally respected Master Zhang very much, although they knew that this was not quite in line with the facts, but they also echoed two sentences, which can be regarded as touting idols.

Zhang Ye was only joking with everyone, and there was no need to make a statement, but after a few days, trouble came to the door.

In general, Zhang Ye directly destroyed it with strong means, but the current trouble made Zhang Ye a little confused.

Outside the blacksmith shop, there were many wounded people, and more people in white clothes and crying.

"Zhang Ye, you big liar, what do you say that your spirit treasure can kill the Black Demon God, my family Da Zhuang took your spirit treasure to fight the Black Demon God, and died!"

An old woman scolded, and when everyone heard this, they helped Zhang Ye to refute at first, what is your family's big strength and you don't know how thick the sky is, how can you blame Master Zhang.

But those white-clothed people continued to complain with tears in their eyes: "Master Zhang, my husband came to buy it when he heard that your spiritual treasure can kill the Black Demon God, and he went bankrupt, just hoping to protect himself in troubled times, but I didn't expect that my husband would never go back like this......"

"If I hadn't believed that your spiritual treasure could kill the Black Demon God, my child wouldn't have died!"

......

The onlookers originally wanted to help Zhang Ye speak, but when they heard that so many innocent people had died tragically, they were also a little speechless for a while.

Recently, it has been rumored that Zhang Ye's spiritual treasure can kill the Black Demon God, although I don't know where this sentence started, but Zhang Ye did not stand up and state the truth, so these immortals were blindly sent to death.

The blacksmith shop gradually lost the hearts of the people, and many people thought that Zhang Ye was responsible, and even felt that the statement of killing the black demon god was an advertisement made by the blacksmith shop.

Now that so many people have died, I have to give an explanation.

Zhang Ye didn't speak, if these people went directly to the door to smash the store or make trouble, they would have been sent away, but they came with the corpse and asked for their trust in Zhang Ye, but Zhang Ye couldn't find a way to solve it.

The most important thing is that Zhang Ye also feels that he does have part of the responsibility, and when the previous rumors first came to the forefront, he should solemnly declare it and warn everyone. But Zhang Ye was careless, he just thought that everyone loved him, who would have expected such serious consequences?

Of course, Zhang Ye is also skeptical now, is there a shadow of conspiracy behind those rumors?

Otherwise, for no reason, who is full and says that their spiritual treasure can kill the Black Demon God?
