Chapter 1544: Chapter 1517: Qiu Tianlang
“Soone like you shouldn’t be the city lord!”
Xiao Yi stared intently at him, causing Qiu Tianlang, who had rushed over in haste, to shudder violently.
Wang Jianfeng and the others were even more incredulous as they looked at Xiao Yi.
This was Qiu Tianlang!
The city lord of Jun Shang City.
Since he ascended to the position of city lord of Jun Shang City, it had been hundreds of thousands of years. In that ti, Qiu Tianlang had always guarded Jun Shang City without ever experiencing a defeat that led to a breach.
And yet Xiao Yi said he shouldn’t be the city lord?
Qiu Tianlang felt as if ten thousand alpacas were galloping through his mind, but outwardly he feigned surprise and confusion, asking, “Who may I ask is this esteed guest? We have rely t for the first ti, why such harsh words upon eting?”
He naturally knew of Xiao Yi’s existence.
Especially after learning of Wang Jianfeng and Hong Lian’s conspiracy to fra Xiao Yi in order to help Wang Shaojie escape, he’d been keeping a secret watch on Xiao Yi.
Ever since Xiao Yi appeared in Jun Shang City, he had co under his watchful eye.
However.
Before this, Xiao Yi had not yet shown such formidable combat strength.
He hadn’t previously attracted his attention.
He only intended to secretly observe, watch developnts unfold, and seek out Wang Jianfeng and Hong Lian’s weaknesses.
After all.
With the rise in power of the Law Enforcent Team and Zhengyi Hall, Hong Lian could now threaten his status, and at this point needed a reminder.
Evidently, Xiao Yi’s sudden appearance turned out to be the most suitable choice.
But what he didn’t expect was…
Xiao Yi was so powerful, so domineering.
Wang Jianfeng and Hong Lian obviously had been severely suppressed by him. He even managed to save Wang Jianfeng from impending doom.
As the city lord, he had to co forward to settle things.
Even…
Qiu Tianlang had already planned to seize the opportunity to strike a blow against Wang Jianfeng and Hong Lian’s forces and reputation. Yet he didn’t expect Xiao Yi to co along just as he was about to speak!
Xiao Yi coldly smirked at Qiu Tianlang, “Does Lord Qiu really not know the reason why I said such things?”
Ever since entering Jun Shang City, he vaguely sensed a powerful divine thought secretly watching him, initially thinking it was Hong Lian or Wang Jianfeng.
But it wasn’t until he was at Zhengyi Hall that he confird this divine thought belonged to another.
In the vast Jun Shang City, only a Ninth Layer Saint King Realm powerhouse like Qiu Tianlang could possess such a strong divine thought.
Because of this.
Xiao Yi was very clear that Qiu Tianlang had been secretly observing him all along, so everything that had happened since his return to Jun Shang City must also be fully known by him.
Yet Qiu Tianlang never appeared, only arriving now in a leisurely fashion.
Could there not be sothing fishy here?
Xiao Yi’s years of experience taught him well about human nature and political maneuvering, understanding Qiu Tianlang’s motive almost instantly.
It was nothing more than using soone else to do the dirty work, eliminating adversaries.
This greatly displeased Xiao Yi!
It didn’t concern him if he used soone else to eliminate opponents, but he couldn’t use Xiao Yi as the tool!
Moreover…
What is the current situation with the Unhard Heaven Realm?
Facing both the Blissful Heaven Realm and the Life Heaven Realm simultaneously, already surrounded, barely maintaining a delicate balance.
At this mont, any Saint King Realm expert is exceedingly precious.
Especially high-level Saint King Realm experts like Wang Jianfeng, Hong Lian.
This led to the current exchange.
Qiu Tianlang’s gaze flickered slightly; he considered his plans flawless, but facing Xiao Yi’s piercing gaze, like one that could see through everything, he felt vaguely uneasy.
Appearing calm on the surface.
Qiu Tianlang asked deeply, “I dare say I conduct myself with integrity and without guilt, I truly don’t understand what you an by these accusations.”
Xiao Yi shook his head with a cold smile, “From the mont I entered Jun Shang City, the one secretly observing and monitoring , that was you, wasn’t it?”
“What? The city lord has been secretly monitoring him?”
“Doesn’t that an the city lord knows our every move? He wasn’t in seclusion at all?”
Wang Jianfeng and Hong Lian shuddered.
They looked at Qiu Tianlang all at once.
They were indeed astute, and they understood Qiu Tianlang better than Xiao Yi.
Indeed, he was likely to do such a thing.
Zhu Yichen and others, too, cast questioning glances towards Qiu Tianlang.
Even though they didn’t get along with Wang Jianfeng and Hong Lian.
But they had fought together as comrades, living and dying together. If soone was truly stabbing them in the back, they would not let it rest.
After all.
Who could guarantee they wouldn’t be the next target?
Qiu Tianlang appeared calm on the surface, but inside, waves of fury churned, wishing he could tear Xiao Yi apart.
The gaze of all made him feel like he was on pins and needles.
How could he admit such a thing now?
Qiu Tianlang shook his head and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about; I have been in seclusion, shutting off my senses from the outside world, unaware of anything. If it hadn’t been for the commotion caused by Jianfeng’s descent into madness, I would still be in seclusion…”
“Oh?”
Xiao Yi smiled playfully and said, “So it seems we indeed have misunderstood you?”
“If I had known about the conflict between you earlier, I would never have allowed it to escalate to this point. Jianfeng is the backbone of my Unhard Heaven Realm; the Vermilion Bird Legion only achieved its current mighty combat strength under his leadership. His contributions are stellar, and if anything were to happen to him, I would be ashad to face the countless beings of the Unhard Heaven Realm…”
Qiu Tianlang expressed profound remorse, “Fortunately, Jianfeng pulled back in ti, avoiding incalculable damage.”
Wang Jianfeng looked awkward: “If not for…”
Before he could finish speaking.
Qiu Tianlang’s gaze swept over, landing on Xiao Yi. His eyes turned icy cold, and his heart brimd with murderous intent.
If not for Xiao Yi stopping Wang Jianfeng, he would have capitalized on the situation to sever Hong Lian’s supportive forces, reclaiming command of the Vermilion Bird Legion.
More importantly…
Xiao Yi had recently humiliated him!
This boy must die!
Qiu Tianlang’s thoughts shifted, his cold gaze locking onto Xiao Yi, and shouted forcefully, “You deliberately concealed your cultivation, infiltrating my Vermilion Bird Legion with malicious intent, that’s cri one. You nearly led our Vermilion Bird Legion commander down the demonic path, causing ruin to Jun Shang City, that’s cri two. And cri three, you openly destabilize the internal relations of Jun Shang City, your mind deserves death.”
“City lord…”
Wang Jianfeng’s expression changed slightly; Xiao Yi had spared Wang Shaojie’s life, and even pulled him back from the brink of madness. Upon seeing Qiu Tianlang intent on acting against Xiao Yi, he couldn’t help but speak up.
“Silence! Jianfeng, have you forgotten, Shaojie’s bones aren’t even cold, and he died at the hands of this man. Stand aside…”
Qiu Tianlang shouted angrily, his insidious eyes fixed on Xiao Yi, murderous air swirling, as he thundered a deafening roar, “Brat, you dare cause chaos in my Jun Shang City, I want to tear you to shreds!”
