C31 The Secret of the Old City Lord

Lin Feng's condition was clearly seen by Ma Jin. There was an indescribable feeling in him now.

He was a life-and-death enemy just now, but Lin Feng had placed him in such a dangerous situation for the sake of the safety of the people of Worryfree City. He was extremely touched. He decided to wait. No matter what the result was, he had to find a way to repay Lin Feng.

Ma Jin was a conservative but also very emotional person. He valued everything in Worryfree City more than his own life.

If Lin Feng knew what Ma Jin was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. After all, Lin Feng didn't cultivate for them. He only did this to improve his strength quickly.

Lin Feng's cultivation had indeed reduced the shaking of the entire city by quite a bit.

At this time, most of the people in the city had gathered near the square. Ma Jin walked to the center of the square and said loudly.

"People in the city, the city is shaking today, so we have no choice but to gather everyone here. For everyone's safety, please do not walk around casually now. Stay where you are and wait until the shaking stops before returning home."

"General Ma, then what exactly is going on?"

Ma Jin had a high prestige in the hearts of the city residents. Moreover, it was a matter of life and death, so naturally, no one would object. However, there were still people who asked doubtfully.

Ma Jin shook his head and pointed at Lin Feng, who was in the middle of the square.

"I don't know either, but did everyone see that? Someone is risking his life to ease everyone's shock, so please wait quietly."

"Okay, General Ma, don't worry, we will stay here obediently."

"Yes, General Ma, we will definitely listen to you."

...

The voices of the townsfolk around the square rose and fell, and Ma Jin felt much more at ease. He smiled in relief.

"General Ma, what exactly happened here? Why did so many city guards die? Who was that person? "Why was he at the Heaven Prayer Plaza?"

At this time, an old man dressed in white walked in front of the horse. The old man had a pair of triangular eyes and a cunning look on his face. He held his walking stick and pointed at the scene of blood flowing on the plaza as he berated in a deep voice.

Ma Jin quickly bowed and said respectfully.

"Old city lord, allow me to explain this matter to you in private later. Right now, the most important thing is to protect the safety of the citizens."

"General Ma, since that's the case, I'll wait for your explanation. After all, you're the City Guard General, and the City Lord has already gone to look for a way to break through the barrier. I don't know when he will return, but all matters are under your control. Don't let down the City Lord's trust in you."

Upon hearing the old city lord's words, Ma Jin suddenly recalled Lin Feng's words and probed.

"Old city lord, the city lord has been gone for more than 20 years. I don't know where he is now. " I just heard a piece of news from somewhere else. Someone can come here from Utopia. I wonder when the City Lord will return? "

The old City Lord frowned when he heard this. His expression was clearly one of panic, but as a scheming old man, he immediately adjusted his attitude and rebuked angrily.

"This is utter nonsense. Utopia is a Sacred Ground. On the other hand, we are in a lost place. The barrier in the middle has yet to be cleared, and my son is busy with it. How could someone come here from Utopia?"

"Ma Jin noticed the abnormality of the old city lord. He knew that the old city lord must have hidden something, and the city lord hasn't returned for more than twenty years. This is unreasonable. After all, the space here is only so big. No matter how far we go, it won't take us more than a few days. How can we not see him for more than twenty years?

Previously, the old city lord had said that the city lord had found the location of 'Utopia' and was thinking of a way to break through the barrier between this place and the outside world and go to 'Utopia'. But now, it seemed that there was something else going on.

Ma Jin did not expose it, but he was careful in his heart. He planned to find out after this.

Ma Jin then said calmly.

"Alright, old city lord. I only have this question. You rest first. I'll go and arrange for the residents to rest first."

"Go."

The old city lord waved his hand and signaled for the horses to go in.

The horses did not stop. They started to organize the soldiers to arrange for everyone to find a place to rest in an orderly manner. Meanwhile, he brought a few people to the buildings to search for some daily necessities. At the same time, he also checked to see if anyone had left out any of them in the city. After all, no one knew how long the tremors would last. They still had to prepare the daily necessities.

After the horses entered, the old city lord turned around. He waved to a middle-aged man who looked like a butler not far away.

"Ah Fu, come over here."

Ah Fu hurriedly came to the old city lord and bowed.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

"Ah Fu, has the young master received any news from that side recently?"

The master asked in a low voice with a solemn expression. Ah Fu thought for a while and shook his head.

"No, Master. Last time, Young Master Zhou sent a message saying that the young master is now in a high position and that the time of the incident is not far away. He asked us to train our troops here and wait for the day when the matter arises to return the Liu Family's prestige."

"Yes, did he tell you anything about the passage entrance and the gem?"

"No, only Young Master and Young Master know about the passage. Even Young Madam doesn't know about it. Furthermore, the effects of Immortal Intoxication are excellent, so it's very safe. As for the gem, Young Master said that Young Master is secretly looking for reliable cultivators. As long as there is a cultivator who makes a move, I think that gem will definitely become ours."

After hearing Ah Fu's words, the old city lord finally relaxed and chuckled.

"Yes, as long as we take the gemstone, we can cultivate. At that time, we won't have to worry about our Liu family's prosperity and recovering our former glory. We won't have to stay in this lousy place anymore."

"Master, I'm just afraid..."

Ah Fu said hesitantly. The old city lord asked doubtfully.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Master, I think Ma Jin is already suspicious of the young master. If he blocks our plans, it will be difficult for us. After all, he has a very high prestige in the hearts of the people in the city. Why don't we..."

Ah Fu made a gesture of wiping his neck, and a fierce look appeared on his face.

"Absolutely not!"

The old City Lord hurriedly waved his hand and spoke coldly.

"It's still useful to keep him now. Even though he's pedantic, he's an expert in training soldiers and leading troops. Besides, I have already placed a chess piece by his side, waiting for him to help us train the citizens well. Then we'll find someone to take care of him without anyone knowing. Let's see how he gets in the way. "

"Yes, Master, you are the one who is thinking far ahead."

Ah Fu said with a flattering face.

The old city lord showed a proud look and waved his hand to interrupt Ah Fu's flattery.

"Alright, Ah Fu, go and do three things now."

"Firstly, inform the families that we've already roped in. Tell them that more than half of the city guards have been sacrificed. Tell them to speed up and try to rope in more than half of the people in the city as soon as possible. I think the commotion this time isn't normal. I'm afraid that it's related to the gem. I reckon that the secret passage won't be able to be hidden for long."

"Secondly, pass my secret order to have the 'Black Uniform Army' keep an eye on the secret passage. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy."

The old city lord pointed at Lin Feng on the square and said.

"Third, find someone to keep an eye on the man in the middle of the square and keep an eye on him. Report his whereabouts at all times. I can see that this man is not simple."

"Yes, Master."

The old city lord waved his hand. Ah Fu looked deeply at Lin Feng. He bowed and left.

The old city lord looked at the city in front of him and murmured.

"My Liu Family has been hiding here for more than five hundred years. It is time for us to regain our glory. We only need to take the gemstone. Who in the world can stop the might of my Liu Family?"

After the old city lord finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Lin Feng. Then, he left the square and walked towards the crowd.
