Chapter 432
There are too many things in this world that are difficult for ordinary people to access. If they can't access them, they naturally don't understand them.
At this time, monks from the immortal sect will come to preach.
For example, during the era of the Twin Heroes, not only the immortals and demons knew about them, but mortals knew them as well.
They travel the world all year round, recording special herbs, rituals, and physical training methods, and sending them to the largest bookstores in the human world for dissemination to prevent tragedies caused by ignorance from happening again.
However, after the disappearance of the two heroes, these books were recalled in large quantities by some people on the grounds that they needed to be revised and supplemented, and then disappeared completely.
Therefore, up to now, not many people know what a pure ghost body is.
They only knew under the guidance of the immortal sect that this physique attracted ghosts, wronged ghosts, evil ghosts, fierce ghosts... The more bad things they did, the more afraid they were of these.
In addition, although Zhong Xian's parents died early, he was still able to come out on top and become the top scholar chosen by His Majesty.
With no background at all, he was able to build a miracle like Qiuluo City.
He is tall and handsome, and there is not a single flaw on his body.
Such bell strings have long been a thorn in the eyes of many people.
Without Zhong Xian's knowledge, they had already created many obstacles for him, both overtly and covertly, but they were all resolved one by one by Zhong Xian.
But now with the support of the Immortal Sect, they can openly attack Qiuluo City, declare that Zhong Xian is "unworthy of his position", demand that he leave Qiuluo City, and cut off all business transactions with Qiuluo City.
Everything that Qiuluo City cannot produce needs to be traded. Now that the trading chain has been cut off, many problems will arise.
"A dull knife is used to grind meat."
Zhong Xian leaned back in his chair, holding his forehead with his hand and smiling bitterly: "They are forcing me to leave the city."
Yu Xi held his hand and said seriously:
"Brother can't go out."
The immortals in the city will not attack Zhong Xian openly, but once he leaves the city, Zhong Xian may die anywhere and no one will find out.
Zhong Xian looked a little tired. He hugged Yu Xi sideways, buried his head in Yu Xi's hair, and said in a muffled voice:
"I know."
He just couldn't understand what good it would do to other cities if he fell.
If you think Qiuluo City is too prosperous, wouldn't it be better to make the place you manage more prosperous than Qiuluo City?
Why do you have to target him to death?
We have to guard against the Immortal Sect, deal with our colleagues, and protect the people in the city...
"It's not easy to be a city lord."
He sighed.
"But brother did a great job." Yu Xi hugged Zhong Xian, patted his arm and said, "Don't worry about the trade chain. Brother Qingpei has already taken the monsters to the mountains. Mermaids can swim to any corner of the world. They will definitely find things that Qiuluo City can't produce!"
Yu Xi paused and continued to encourage:
“Although the amount we can find won’t be too much, it will definitely not put us in a desperate situation!
"Also, when I was staying with Granny Liang, I inquired about the thoughts of the people in Qiuluo City. They actually don't care what your physical condition is or whether it will bring disaster. To them, you are the city lord, the only city lord."
Zhong Xian's mood improved with Yu Xi's words. When he heard the last sentence, he raised his head, smiled and said, "Really?"
"It's more real than gold!" Yu Xi gave a thumbs-up: "It's all because of my brother's good governance!"
Zhong Xian wanted to be modest, but he couldn't be modest in front of Yu Xi. He couldn't help but pick up Yu Xi and laughed.
"As expected, I am your brother who is the best!"
Seeing that Zhong Xian's mood had finally improved a little, Yu Xi also narrowed his eyes, but his heart was still heavy.
Just a few days ago, Zhong Xian arranged accommodation for the monsters and hid them. The vacant space could be used to accommodate refugees. At the same time, it was also announced to the outside world that there were no monsters in Qiuluo City now.
Most refugees were still grateful to Zhong Xian for providing them with accommodation and were willing to live in Qiuluo City.
They were not unaware of the rumors outside, but compared to those rumors, they knew better that the food they got was given to them by Zhong Xian, and their lives were saved by Zhong Xian.
Because they have come into contact with him before, they believe that City Lord Zhong is not a bad person.
However, a small number of people doubted Zhong Xian's motives and were afraid of his special physique. They were unwilling to stay and instead wanted to leave.
"The Immortal Sect has arranged a new city for us to live in, and we can even get land there. There's no need for a hypocrite like you to act hypocritically!"
After they had accused Zhong Xian, they ignored Zhong Xian's attempts to stop them and desperately tried to leave the protection of Qiuluo City. Some people even contacted the Immortal Gate in advance and asked them to take them away.
They were the ones who initially clamored to live in Qiuluo City, and they are also the ones who are refusing to live there now.
I don’t know whether they are really afraid of Zhong Xian’s physique, or they are afraid that Zhong Xian will take revenge on them.
These refugees are full of hostility towards Zhong Xian, and they will definitely slander Zhong Xian even more after they leave.
"don’t worry."
The sound of Zhong Xian rang in her ears. Yu Xi looked up and saw that it was Zhong Xian's turn to comfort her:
"It's just bad words said, it won't hurt me, I won't take it to heart, I'll wait for Brother Yuan Kui to come back..."
Having said this, Zhong Xian stopped talking.
Yu Xi didn't say anything and lowered his eyes.
Cui Yuankui had not sent them a single letter in the past half month, and no one knew about his situation.
Yu Xi knew that Cui Yuankui's eyes would be snatched away by Qingxin, and that was why she was more worried about Cui Yuankui's situation than Zhong Xian.
Two days passed relatively peacefully, but something unexpected happened suddenly.
All the refugees who were unwilling to live in Qiuluo City died.
The corpse was in a terrible state, and was covered in bruises, as if it had suffered severe torture before death.
All these corpses were thrown at the gate of Qiuluo City, and the Immortal Sect must investigate this matter thoroughly.
"Qiuluo City Lord Zhong Wenyu, what else do you have to say? These people simply disobeyed you, yet you killed them so cruelly!"
The people who came this time were still cultivators from the Sushan Sect. The leader was Xu Wencen's master Zhao Hunyuan, the great elder of the Sushan Sect. He was tall and thin, had no beard, and had a stiff face with little expression, which made him look a little sinister.
Zhong Xian looked at the corpses on the ground. There was nothing he couldn't understand at this moment.
He never imagined that the Immortal Sect would actually kill so many people just to slander him!
Is this still humane?
Is that human being?
How could something be so vicious!
"All these people were taken away by your sect, and now none of them are alive..."
Zhong Xian stared coldly at the monks in front of him and shouted angrily:
"God is watching what we do. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Zhao Hunyuan didn't answer him, but said coldly, "Then there's nothing to say, no way to defend yourself. From today on, we will move into Qiuluo City and rigorously interrogate Qiuluo City Lord Zhong Wenyu until all demonic creatures are eliminated and peace is restored to Qiuluo City."
Seeing that Zhong Xian was about to be captured, the people in Qiuluo City hurriedly wanted to plead for mercy, but before they could open their mouths, a monk shouted:
"Anyone who defends Zhong Wenyu will be considered an accomplice and will be killed."
