It was the four elders from the Four Great Regions of the Yi Xiao City, and one of them, the Great Clan Elder, was seated at the seat of honor. There were many dishes and wine on the table in front of them, but no one was in the mood to drink.

The Second Elder asked, "I wonder why Great Elder has called me here today?"

Obviously, this was the question that they wanted to ask as well. From the beginning to the end, when the First Elder had called them over, he had not spoken, and just sat there like that. This made them feel very uncomfortable, so when they heard the Second Elder's question, they were also curious as to why the First Elder was looking for them.

The Great Clan Elder who was seated at the head seat opened his eyes slightly, looked around at the few people present, and smiled: "I believe everyone has received the news from the Spirit Sword Sect, right?"

Hearing that, the three great clan elders looked at each other, not knowing why the great clan elder suddenly mentioned this, they heard the fourth clan elder, and said: "Spirit Sword Sect requests us to cooperate with Lord Mayor to retrieve the goods that were taken away within three days, we already know about that, but we do not know what the clan elder wants to say to us. Have you thought of a way to get those materials back? "

Hearing this, the Great Elder snorted and picked up a glass of wine from the table. He took a sip and laughed, "Based on everyone's fighting experience with Wolf Bandit, do you think that the materials that Wolf Bandit stole from you can be retrieved within three days?"

The three Great Elders were silent when they heard this. Indeed, it was just as the Great Clan Elder had said, the reason Wolf Bandit's faction dared to be so rampant in the vicinity of Yi Xiao City was to a large extent because they had borrowed the terrain advantage of the mountains surrounding Yi Xiao City. Wanting to find their hiding place, was easier said than done.

As for the Yi Xiao City, it would be even more impossible to find them. Even if they could find them in the end, it would probably be in a year and a half, and by then, those resources would probably have all been used up.

Thinking of this, the three Great Elders looked at each other again before the second elder asked again, "I wonder what Great Elder has in mind?"

At this time, the Great Elder chuckled. "I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Let's get to the point, let's get to the point."

When these words were spoken, all the elders looked towards the Great Elder, obviously wanting to hear his thoughts.

At this moment, the grand elder leaned forward slightly and said, "My meaning is that during these three days, we should not try our best to find those supplies."

When the three great elders heard that, they were immediately confused. Then, they heard the third elder say in a low voice, "We're not going to help the city lord find supplies? How could that work? At that time, if Spirit Sword Sect is to blame, we will not be able to take responsibility! "

When the Third Elder said this, the other two nodded, obviously agreeing with what the Third Elder had said. After that, they looked towards the Great Elder, who was chuckling, as if guessing that they would have such concerns. He immediately said, "Everyone, I'm afraid that without understanding the current situation, I will analyze it for everyone!"

The other three Great Elders immediately showed an expression of reverence, but they heard the Great Elder say, "Regarding the matter of the looted materials, whose responsibility is it to the Spirit Sword Sect?"

As these words were spoken, the three Great Elders looked at each other. Of course they knew that the looting of the materials was caused by the Great Elder, but would they be able to say these words out loud? He then heard the Great Clan Elder say with a deep voice: "It was Lord Mayor's fault that the materials were stolen this time around!"

Hearing this, the three of them were a little confused, but they quickly thought things through. Indeed, just as the Great Clan Elder had said, this time, the people from Spirit Sword Sect would only think it was Yun Zhiqian's fault that the materials were taken away. Otherwise, the people from Spirit Sword Sect would not ask Yun Zhiqian to take them back within three days.

The reason why Spirit Sword Sect thought like this was very simple, it was like a company's manager. If he saw a small employee make a mistake, would he scold the small employee? On the contrary, he would only scold the leader of the management team instead. It was the same logic, even though Spirit Sword Sect was aware that it was the Great Clan Elder's fault that the materials were robbed, they did not scold the Great Clan Elder. Instead, they scolded the City Lord, because the Great Clan Elder was the subordinate of the City Lord.

After understanding this point, the three elders looked towards the Great Elder and said: "Even if we know that the Spirit Sword Sect places the main responsibility on Lord Mayor, so what?"

The Great Elder snorted again and said: "Let's make a hypothesis. If Lord Mayor didn't complete the order given by Spirit Sword Sect within these three days, what would happen to her?"

The fourth elder then said, "He will be removed from the position of Mayor!"

Then, when the Fourth Elder said this, his eyes slightly widened, as if he had thought of something. The other two elders also seemed to have realized something at this moment.

When the Great Elder saw their appearances, he smiled and nodded. He said, "I presume that everyone should already know the purpose of why this old man has called you here, right?"

The Second Elder lowered his voice and said to the Great Elder, "You want to do something to her?"

His voice was so low that it sounded as if he was afraid that others would hear it. The other two elders then looked towards the Great Elder. After the Great Elder heard his words, he nodded and said, "Yes!"

Although the three Great Elders could roughly guess what was going on, but after hearing the Great Elder personally confirm their suspicions, they could not help but take in a breath of cold air. At this time, the calmer Third Elder said, "The crime of attacking an inner sect disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect is probably not small, right? If the people from the Spirit Sword Sect find out, then none of us will be able to bear the consequences! Moreover, Great Clan Elder thinks, just who amongst us in the Yi Xiao City can handle Yun Zhiqian's strength that has surpassed the Bone Melting Stage? Even if we can deal with her, we will have to pay a very painful price. "

These words immediately cleared the minds of all the elders present. At this time, the Great Elder could not help but laugh strangely. He said, "I didn't say I wanted to kill her. What are you afraid of?"

The other three Great Elders were a little puzzled when they heard this. Second Elder asked, "Since you want to kill her and yet don't kill her, could it be that you want to put her back in your Spirit Sword Sect and cause yourself a lot of trouble?"

The Head Elder shook his head and a strange smile appeared on his face. He said, "What if she is taken in as a female slave?"
