Starting With 100 Million Lives

City Lord Yu Xun of Danhua City quickly rushed over, just like in the old routine.

But what happened next took everyone by surprise.

City Lord Yu, with a large group of experts, flew down and rushed up to Jiang Cheng in just a few steps.

"You killed Chu Dynasty?"

Brother Cheng, of course, nodded straightforwardly: "That's right, it was me."

Come on, let's start the fight.

Don't bother with any foreplay, I'm eager to overshadow my own weapon to prove my strength.

"Thank you!"

Before he could react, his hands were grabbed by Yu Xun.

"Thank you for ridding Danhua City of a menace!"

The city lord looked grateful, as if he'd met a savior, utterly excited.

Uh, this...

Everyone else present was also stunned.

What's going on?

A comrade was killed, and not only is there no revenge, but thanks are given to the enemy?

This is too outrageous, isn't it?

Brother Cheng was also caught off guard, he was still expecting a grand battle.

But now he finds himself in this situation, isn't that losing the chance to gain Shock Value?

"Well, I heard that guy earlier was your nephew, wasn't he?"

He still wanted to 'remedy' this, reminding the other party of their deep-seated hatred.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xun immediately snapped, "I don't have such a nephew!"

"Chu Dynasty was a dissolute person, bullying and oppressive, causing public resentment, this City Lord has long been disgusted with him!"

"Originally, I wanted to sacrifice family loyalty for justice, but I never had the heart to go through with it!"

"Today, you rid me of this scourge, it's truly a great relief!"

"This City Lord represents the entire Immortal City in thanking your righteousness, may I know your esteemed name?"

Sect Leader Jiang, not weak in verbal combat, for the first time felt out of step with the conversation's pace.

This doesn't fit the script.

Are you pretending?

Trying to stabilize me first, then take me down when I'm off guard?

"But, I've also killed a thousand of your subordinates, including an Immortal Venerable."

Upon hearing this, Leng Huahan and Yuan Zhe both wanted to cover his mouth.

Ancestor, can't you say a little less?

Whether this city lord is pretending or not, don't just pick sensitive words to say.

Stabilize him first, then look for a chance to escape!

"Well killed!"

City Lord Yu wasn't angry upon hearing a thousand of his subordinates were killed, instead, he clapped excitedly.

Laughed and said: "Killed perfectly!"

"That's the second thing I want to thank you for!"

Brother Cheng and all the audience were dumbfounded together.

Brother, are you out of your mind?

That Immortal Venerable Chu Yue, if I'm not mistaken, should be your wife's brother, your brother-in-law, right?

And those thousand Immortal Guard Army members were your subordinates.

No matter how forgiving someone is, it's impossible to act like nothing happened.

And you even express gratitude?

Isn't your act a bit over the top?

Even if there aren't many simple-minded people who can become immortals, many quickly figured it out.

If Jiang Cheng can easily take out a thousand Immortal Guard Army members and an Immortal Venerable, even if the city lord brought the remaining two thousand, it'd just be giving away.

At most, it'd just delay it a little longer.

After all, that Immortal Sword is too fierce.

If he wants revenge, he'd have to think of another way, like lowering Jiang Cheng's guard.

"You must find it hard to believe!"

Yu Xun seems to have realized everyone's thoughts, and sighed deeply.

"Alas, this city lord appears glorious on the surface, but actually knows his own struggles."

"Ever since Chu Yue and his faction settled in Danhua City years ago, this city lord has gradually been marginalized by them..."

"Marginalized?"

Yu Xun nodded heavily: "Over the years, he secretly formed factions, colluded with powerful outsiders, many Immortal Guard Army members are already his direct lineage."

"My orders often aren't as effective as his single word."

"For this reason, I haven't been able to act against Chu Dynasty."

"If this continued, it's only a matter of time before I was replaced."

He grasped Sect Leader Jiang's hand again, and earnestly expressed his gratitude: "If it wasn't for your act of destroying them, how would I ever have a chance to turn the tide?"

"Now say, should I not thank you?"

"This..."

Brother Cheng's mouth twitched, this is too coincidental, isn't it?

"It seems my words alone aren't enough to convince you."

City Lord Yu clapped his hands, and the Immortal Guard Army behind him pushed forward several hundred varied dressed immortals.

"These are all Chu Yue's relatives and followers!"

"If not for you slaying the main culprit today, I wouldn't dare move against them easily!"

"But now..."

Those several hundred people were terrified, struggling mightily but unable to escape, desperately begging for mercy.

"No, please!"

"Lord City, we were unaware!"

"Uncle, I'm your nephew, you even held me when I was young..."

Yu Xun slowly closed his eyes, and his right hand slowly lowered.

Immediately, those several hundred people were executed on the spot, not one left alive!

Although fewer people died than before, it felt several times more brutal and bloody, some immortals present even turned their faces away.

No other choice, at least earlier it was war, life and death by fate.

But now it's a one-sided execution.

"From now on, the sky of Danhua City is restored to brilliance!"

With these words, over ten thousand residents of the Immortal City behind him waved their arms and shouted praises, exclaiming the kill was well done, a relief for the people, the city lord is wise...

It seems the resentment had really built up for a long time.

"Do you believe me now?"

Brother Cheng twitched his mouth helplessly, he didn't expect to stumble upon such a situation.

Turns out by wiping out those thousand people, he actually fulfilled the city lord's wishes?

But this city lord himself isn't an easy character, such a ruthless heart.

"It was just a minor matter, not worth mentioning."

Unable to keep up the act, he felt a bit disinterested.

"No, no, no..."

"For me, this is an immense favor, I can't ignore it!"

"I feel like we've known each other at first sight, preparations have already been made for a banquet, may I invite you to the mansion for a chat?"

Yu Xun's warm invitation was natural, after all, Jiang Cheng helped him out majorly, so being overly grateful was expected.

However, Leng Huahan once again suspected.

The reason being, it's too coincidences.

And with this person's decisiveness just now, he doesn't seem like a weak city lord who would be marginalized.

He hurriedly transmitted a message: "Ancestor, it's best not to go to this banquet, it could very well be a trap."

Brother Cheng looked speechless, thinking you're the clever one?

He'd rather it be a trap.

That way, he'd have a stage to continue showing off!

If everything City Lord Yu said was true, he'd actually be disappointed.

"Lead the way!"

Brother Cheng waved his hand, and Yu Xun was momentarily stunned, seemingly not used to his new 'Pathfinder' role.

But shortly after, he resumed his smile.

"Please, please, please!"

With that, the group set off for the City Lord's Mansion.

Leng Huahan was both angry and anxious at the back.

He exchanged glances with Elders Yuan Zhe, Yuan Wu, and Yuan He, meaning what to do next?

"What else can we do, follow him!"

"We can't let him die here."

"Proceed with caution!"

After they all departed, the immortals in the Celestial Pavilion resumed their heated discussions.

And Ding Rui upstairs couldn't help but remark: "This Yu Xun is indeed ruthless when it comes to killing, this matter is getting more and more mysterious."
