"How did Lin Yichen know?"
Wu Tian was extremely suspicious, pretending to be confused even though he knew the truth, and said in a puzzled voice: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Lin Yichen joked, "You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Don't forget how you killed dozens of Half-Step Peerless Stage warriors in my Polar Ice Valley. Oh, and three Ice Demons."
Wutan felt a headache and wondered how he could have forgotten about this.
Lin Yichen continued to transmit his voice: "In that battle, all the people of Polar Ice were wiped out by you, but my second uncle only had his clone destroyed, so I know everything that happened that day. If I am not mistaken, the person who killed my disciples, assassinated Yuan Hanchi, and took the Phoenix Pendant must be one of your subordinates. Am I right?"
"So that man is your second uncle." Wutan suddenly realized.
There was no denial of Lin Yichen's question. After all, they were all smart people and there was no point in continuing to hide it.
Wu Tian said calmly: "We have already agreed before that everyone will do it by their own means. You shouldn't be angry and want to expose me because you didn't get the Phoenix Pendant!"
Lin Yichen sneered, "I never do such boring things. I'm just curious about your subordinates' invisibility skills. What kind of magical power is this? Even the old man in white couldn't detect it."
"A kind of field." Wu Tian responded indifferently.
"I see. It seems I have to be more careful with you in the future. Otherwise, if you plot against me, I won't know how I died."
Lin Yichen suddenly realized and after learning about this, there was a hint of fear in his tone.
The entire conversation between Wutan and the other person was conducted via telepathy, so naturally no third person would know about it.
However, Wutan would not deliberately hide the hidden area of the shadow. With the intelligence of Gongsun Haoshu and others, they would sooner or later associate it with what happened in the Ice Valley.
As long as we can temporarily deceive the people in the Eastern Region, it will be fine.
The scene was deathly silent. Whether it was the law enforcement officers, the onlookers, or the old man in white, they all remained silent and looked around.
Gongsun Haoshu and others frowned deeply, glancing at Wutan intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes full of suspicion.
They have not yet suspected Wutan, but are just very curious about his previous performance.
Previously, everyone rushed to grab the Phoenix Pendant except him. Based on their understanding of Wutan, it seemed a little unreasonable.
As the person who stole the Phoenix Pendant did not show up, the old man in white had a gloomy face and shouted, "All law enforcers, listen up. Seal off all the city gates and guard them strictly. Anyone who is suspicious will be brought to the City Lord's Mansion. I will interrogate them personally!"
Normally, this kind of thing was done by the city guards, but the person who stole the Phoenix Pendant this time was able to escape his divine sense search, so he had reason to suspect that the person was a strong man who was no less powerful than him.
For such people, the city guards are no longer effective, and only law enforcers can restrain them.
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the law enforcers bowed one after another, glared at Wutan and others angrily, then turned around and dispersed, each doing their own job.
It was during this period that Wutan and his companions slowly gathered together and formed an alliance.
The old man in white's eyes flickered as he scanned Yu Wutan and the others one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Please give me a reason not to kill you."
"reason?"
Gu Tian frowned, pointed at his bloody body and swollen face, and said, "Donor, don't you see my injuries?"
The old man in white said calmly: "I saw it, but what can it prove?"
"My injuries are all caused by that damn deputy city lord. Tell me, what can this prove?" Gu Tian frowned more and more.
"That's wrong! I was not present before, so I have no idea what happened. And now the deputy city lord has been killed by you, so you can just make up stories." said the old man in white.
"Making it up?"
Gu Tian was slightly stunned, but he controlled his temper and pointed at the crowd of people watching, saying, "When that bastard deputy city lord committed the crime, they all saw it with their own eyes. Oh, and there was also the beautiful girl from the War Merit Temple. She also witnessed the whole process. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
The old man in white raised his eyebrows, looked at the crowd not far away, and said lightly: "Really?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and in the end no one answered.
Seeing this situation, Wutan frowned slightly and stared at the old man in white. He actually saw a hint of threat in his eyes.
Gongsun Haoshu and the others naturally noticed it as well. They looked at each other, and a cold and fierce light flashed in their eyes.
At this time, the woman in white from the War Merit Temple walked out slowly, bowed to the old man in white, and said respectfully: "Lord City Lord, Qiuyu has been in the War Merit Temple all the time and has never left, so she witnessed the whole process. Wu Tian and the others were indeed forced to take action under the pressure of the deputy city lord. I hope the Lord City Lord will understand."
"Really?" the old man in white questioned, the displeasure on his face clearly visible.
The woman in white hesitated, glanced at Wu Tian and the others, pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Qiu Yu's words are true, and I would never dare to deceive the city lord."
Seeing that Qiuyu, the woman in white, was willing to risk her life and speak for them, Wutan and the others were all confused.
The old man in white asked, "May I ask, did the deputy city lord kill them directly at that time?"
Qiu Yu shook her head and said truthfully, "That's not the case."
"That's right. You only witnessed what happened afterwards, but didn't see what happened in the City Lord's Mansion. If they were the ones who challenged the deputy city lord's authority first, why couldn't the deputy city lord teach them a lesson? Can't the lord of a city teach a few ungrateful brats a lesson?" said the old man in white.
"this… "
Qiuyu was speechless for a moment. What the city lord said made sense. She didn't see with her own eyes what had happened in the city lord's mansion before. If these people really were the ones who provoked first, there would be nothing wrong for the deputy city lord to teach them a lesson.
A flash of cold light flashed by, and Feng Yihui said in a voice transmission: "Wutian, I think that old guy is clearly trying to make things difficult for us, why not just kill him as well!"
"No." Wutan flatly refused.
"Why?" Several people looked at him puzzledly.
"Don't you think that this person is too calm?" Wutan said in a voice transmission, with a hint of suspicion between his brows.
After thinking about it for a while, Feng Yihui suddenly realized: "I understand. What you mean is that he knew that we have the Five Tribulations Holy Soldiers, but he could still face us so calmly. Either he has someone behind him, or he has powerful means."
After thinking about it, everyone felt that it made sense.
At the same time, he began to think in his mind that the old man in white was obviously well prepared this time. If he couldn't handle it well, there would be a great possibility of a catastrophic disaster.
"Don't talk for now, let me handle it." Wu Tian secretly reminded him, looked at the old man in white, and said with a cupped hand: "Lord City Lord, I have something in my hand, you might as well take a look first, and then decide who is right and who is wrong."
After saying that, Wutan waved his hand, and the Wanxiang Order that he had prepared for a long time quickly flew out from his sleeve, and then with a bang, it exploded in the sky, and a picture quickly appeared in the void.
What was shown on the screen was the scene of the deputy city lord chasing Gu Tian. Moreover, there was a sound coming out, echoing throughout the world.
In order to let everyone in the city see it, Wutan deliberately enlarged the picture, almost occupying half of the sky above Beixuan City.
Wu Tian said calmly, "Did you see that, Lord City Lord? The words the deputy city lord said, his tone, and his appearance are enough to prove that he wanted to torture our companion to death. I believe that anyone who is not an old fool or an idiot can see this."
"Great!" Feng Yihui secretly gave Wutan a thumbs up.
"Let what happened before happen again and see what he has to say." Gongsun Haoshu sneered.
"Amitabha, I just realized how embarrassed I looked at that time." Gu Tian said angrily.
“But your embarrassment is worth it. At least it gives us a legitimate reason to make a big fuss in Beixuan City.” Yun Yuting smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Whether the reason is justified or not is not up to us to decide. It depends on how he decides."
So several people looked at the old man in white, waiting for his conclusion.
After a moment, the old man in white, who had watched the whole process, glanced at Wutan imperceptibly. There was a hint of admiration in his old eyes, but there was also a hint of helplessness and suspicion.
Suddenly, he waved his dry big hand, and the picture in the void was directly wiped out. Then he looked directly at the few people and asked doubtfully: "Is that all?"
"Isn't this enough?" Wutan frowned.
The old man in white shook his head and said, "I said the same thing. We don't know what happened in the City Lord's Mansion. If you were rude and angered the deputy city lord, or if you were the first to attack the deputy city lord in the City Lord's Mansion, it would be natural for him to defend himself, unless..."
"Unless what?" Wutan said, his eyes slightly narrowed, emitting a sharp light, and he began to get impatient.
The old man in white crossed his arms and said jokingly, "Unless you can provide strong evidence to prove that you did not attack the deputy city lord first, everything is just empty talk."
"What if we can't get it out?"
"That's not going to be easy. What you did today can be called a heinous crime. According to the regulations issued by the four saints, you will only have one ending, and that is to be reduced to ashes. However, the truth of this matter is not clear yet. I will capture you and send you to the four saints, and they will make the decision themselves." said the old man in white.
"It's really funny. The deputy city lord of a city committed evil, but not only did no law enforcer come forward to stop him, but in the end he was the one who got beaten back. Is this the character of you, the city lord of Beixuan City?"
Wutan laughed in anger. His only remaining respect and patience had been completely worn out by this change!
