Chapter 2029: Chapter 2115: War of Words
Wei Yixiao’s expression changed instantly. He realized that Chen Nan was definitely not here to help. This guy was here to add fuel to the fire, to become the last straw that would break him.
"Chen Nan, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I want you dead? I was only pleading with the Wanxiang City Lord just now. How could you misunderstand my intentions so?"
Wei Yixiao glared at Chen Nan, releasing a wave of pressure from his body, "Chen Nan, since you think I have no favors to repay, I won’t ask you for help. Leave."
As he spoke, he was about to attack Chen Nan.
A terrifying attack was about to descend upon Chen Nan.
"Lord Wei, did you take me for a fool just now, or the other city lords present, or perhaps you think the Wanxiang City Lord is a fool?" Chen Nan had no intention of dodging, and laughed coldly.
He gazed intensely at Wei Yixiao, making Wei Yixiao feel a pang of anxiety.
"You’re courting death, slandering the Wanxiang City Lord. I will clean the gates today," Wei Yixiao was infuriated on the spot.
Initially, he had treated Chen Nan hospitably to scheme for the Kui Water Crystal, but now seeing the plan ruined, he turned hostile immediately.
However, being used to hypocrisy, he still tried to involve others as he spoke.
"Buzz!"
Wei Yixiao’s divine skill attack was unleashed.
With a muffled sound, blood spurted from Wei Yixiao’s mouth.
He stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before him, his divine skill easily neutralized by a large hand, whose owner was none other than Wanxiang True Monarch.
"Lord Wei, you seem too hasty. This boy called me a fool, but I didn’t get angry. Why are you so anxious? Is there perhaps an underlying reason?"
Wanxiang True Monarch looked at Wei Yixiao.
His gaze carried undeniable majesty.
Xiang Shisan practiced the Wanxiang Divine Skill, but only to the Thousand Forms Stage.
However, it was said that the Wanxiang City Lord practiced this Wanxiang Divine Skill to an unrivaled level—the Realm of Wanxiang.
His strength was unfathomable.
Wei Yixiao’s face turned pale, sweat poured out, and despite his countless schemes, in the face of absolute strength, he couldn’t help feeling fear, his mind blank.
Seeing Wei Yixiao in this state, Chen Nan couldn’t help but feel amused.
However, his expression remained unchanged. He walked forward, looked at Wei Yixiao, and pointed a finger.
"Lord Wei has long wanted to kill me because I saw things I shouldn’t have in Yellow Wind City. Lord Wei enjoyed the benefits and plotted against the Wanxiang City Lord with that woman. Although I didn’t hear clearly, I definitely saw them conspiring together."
Wei Yixiao, the old scoundrel, wanted to scheme against me and even wanted me dead. Chen Nan wouldn’t be polite. Regardless of whether he did it, this time he would still be cursed, putting a chamber pot over his head.
In this world, how can you live long without a bit of shamelessness?
Chen Nan knew clearly that the matter was done by Su Dieyi and had nothing to do with Wei Yixiao, but as long as he framed him now, with some seasoning, few would disbelieve it.
"Chen Nan, you... you are slandering me!"
Wei Yixiao was furious but dared not act against Chen Nan.
He only looked at him with fierce eyes.
"Slander, wait until the seniors catch and see if it’s that woman, won’t we know?" Chen Nan laughed coldly.
"You keep saying you’ve seen that bandit, you wouldn’t not know that it’s a woman, would you, Lord Wei?" Chen Nan smiled faintly.
Wei Yixiao almost spat blood. He initially wanted to use the female bandit’s identity as a trump card clue to win Wanxiang True Monarch’s favor.
However, Chen Nan revealed it first and gave him a hat of knowing but not reporting, intentionally misleading everyone.
At this moment, Wei Yixiao realized that his eloquence was utterly defeated in front of Chen Nan.
Indeed, the bandit was a woman, following his explanation, if truly caught, Wanxiang True Monarch would surely believe him to be the instigator.
"Chen Nan, you speak nonsense, I still suspect you are an accomplice of that woman. Why did she appear shortly after you showed up in Yellow Wind City?"
Wei Yixiao recalled the entire affair and felt it was inseparable from Chen Nan.
Wanxiang True Monarch watched this unfold, his eyes showing a faint hint of amusement.
"Chen Nan, Wei Yixiao, since you two are firmly biting each other as the bandit’s accomplices, why not assist me in searching together? If we haven’t found them by sunset, you two will temporarily stay in Wanxiang City."
Wanxiang True Monarch’s state of rage calmed considerably, and his thoughts naturally matured.
No matter if the bandit is male or female, being able to quietly steal the Nine Dragon Soul, even if injured, leaving Wanxiang City would surely be easy.
However, as long as she operates within the Hundred Clan Domain, finding her won’t be difficult.
The losses are already significant, there must be someone to compensate.
Wei Yixiao is the city lord of Yellow Wind City, if he can be kept, Yellow Wind City will be a subordinate of Wanxiang City.
The city lords within the Hundred Clan Domain are all under the dominion of the strongest in the domain, but for thousands of years, those strongest have ignored these peripheral cities, typically the city lord holds supreme power.
As for Chen Nan, the treasures on him are tempting to Wanxiang True Monarch, especially that Small Tower, which he can’t see through, making him all the more curious.
Moreover, this person battles Supreme Kings as an Early Stage Supreme, if they can supplement someone with more potential than Xiang Shisan, it’s a profit without loss.
Being a city lord means weighing pros and cons.
It’s best if both can stay. Chen Nan is the head guardian of Yellow Wind City, if Wei Yixiao stays, eventually, a suitable and competent person must be found to take on a heavy duty.
Upon hearing Wanxiang True Monarch’s words, Chen Nan’s heart sank, inwardly calling it bad, realizing Wanxiang True Monarch’s cunning intentions targeting him.
Chen Nan didn’t know his precise thoughts but considering his past display, staying in Wanxiang City would not bode well.
"If I stay, Yiyi... cannot work, the girl has already been abducted by Heavenly Evil Emperor, I can’t be separated from my junior sister."
Chen Nan mused, Divine Sense spreading outward, ’If Su Dieyi is indeed the instigator, and she has that relationship with Heavenly Evil Emperor, it wouldn’t hurt to go along with it, find a way to locate Su Dieyi, and then force Heavenly Evil Emperor to show up.’
Chen Nan laughed heartily, "Wanxiang City Lord is right, let’s find that bandit. Once we find them, everything will be revealed."
Wei Yixiao wanted to speak, but upon hearing Chen Nan’s words, it was like eating dung, his expression was deathly unsightly, yet he forcibly held back.
Since Chen Nan already expressed willingness to cooperate, if he continued speaking, wouldn’t that be seeking death? He’s not that foolish.
He also desired to find that bandit, to vindicate himself, and then have Chen Nan killed.
