Chronicles Of The Shura Clan 195 The City Lord's Plo

Black Iron City, City Lord's Mansion.

On the south side of Black Iron City stood an enormous and magnificent manor. Unlike the other mansions and houses within the city, this magnificent manor was very luxurious and clean.

It didn't look like something one would find in such a filthy and b.l.o.o.d.y city such as Black Iron City. Not only that, but the manor's structure was also at least ten times bigger than any mansion throughout the whole city.

Inside the manor's great hall, sat a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious crimson red robe. His figure was quite muscular and had a pair of deep black eyes.

Despite the knife scar on his face, he looked quite handsome and manly with his long dark hair tied tightly behind his back.

Aside from that, his body didn't emit any kinda powerful or ferocious aura. He looked like any honest looking middle-aged man. However, the cold curvature on his thin lips led one to understand that this man was no kind-hearted character.

And this was true as this middle-aged man was the current City Lord of Black Iron City, Chen Haotian! Even without going into detail, one could easily imagine the type of person he was.

Standing beside Chen Haotian, were two white-haired old men who had their hands stuck into their sleeves. One of them was wearing a white robe while the other a black one.

Although these two old men looked quite skinny and weak, the terrifying aura gave off by both of their bodies constantly reminded everyone that they were not ordinary individuals.

They were both respectively known as Yin and Yang Ghost and were quite famous in Black Iron City. They were akin to Chen Haotian's left-hand and right-handed men.

At this moment, one of the city guards that was guarding the city gate stood in front of Chen Haotian with a frightened expression of his face as he was reporting everything that happened at the city gate earlier.

Though Chen Haotian didn't release his overbearing Martial Saint's aura, the little city guard still felt a huge pressure from just standing in front of him.

As a resident of Black Iron City, he was well aware of what kinda man he was currently talking to and the power he possessed.

"So, You are telling me they all obediently killed themselves just because the young man asked them too." Asked Chen Haotian with a dubious and disbelieving expression on his face as he was coldly looking at the city guard.

Not only him, but even the two white-haired old men also had the same dubious expressions on the faces as well.

"Yes, Lord. I swear upon my life everything I said is true." Quickly answered the city guard in a quivering voice.

The city guard didn't blame them for not believing him. He would feel the same thing too if he were in their place. If he didn't witness this unbelievable scene with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it either if someone were to tell him that.

"What do you think Yin Ghost." Asked the city lord as he tilted his head to look at the white robe old man beside him.

"Although it all sounds unbelievable, I don't think a mere city guard would dare to lie to the City Lord unless he was tired of living."

Upon hearing the white robe old man's answer, the City Lord Shook his head in agreement. This was indeed true, there was no way a mere guard would dare to lie him.

However, none of the things he said made sense either. Not even a Demi-G.o.d could achieve such a feat.

"My Lord, there's a way to find out about the young man's background as well as verifying the guard's claims without us making a move." Said the black robe old man after seeing the puzzled expression of the City Lord.

Even though the City Lord didn't say anything, the black robe old man could clearly tell what he was thinking.

"How?" The City Lord quickly asked. Despite his powerful strength, Chen Haotian was a very cautious man.

It was because of his cautious and prudent nature that he was able to remain the City Lord of Black Iron City to this date.

Even though he was a 6th Tribulation Martial Saint and the City Lord of Black Iron City, he knew that there were some people that he couldn't afford to offend.

"Didn't that young man kill fifty members of the Blood Fiend Gang, with Blood Fiend Saint's wild temperament and short temper, he wouldn't let this go if he knew."

"I am sure he isn't aware of what happened yet. Why don't we let him ignite the fire by telling him what happened and instigated him to take action? However, we should let out the part of how his subordinates were killed." Explained the black robe old man with a sly and foxy expression on his face.

Meanwhile, the poor city guard below didn't say anything, only listened quietly while his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Upon hearing the black robe's man explanation, Chen Haotian's eyes lit up. He had long wanted to get rid of Blood Fiend Saint and the Blood Fiend Gang, however, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were quite powerful.

If he were to use his full force, he could completely eradicate them in Black Iron City. However, he would also suffer a great loss in the process. With the other three gangs in the city, he didn't dare to do so.

"Hahaha! What a great idea. Yang Ghost, let's do as you said." Answered the City Lord while laughing loudly.

..................

Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant was one the biggest and the most luxurious inn throughout the whole Black Iron City.

Unlike most businesses in the Black Iron City, Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant didn't belong to the people of Black Iron City. It was more like a chain hotel that had spread throughout many cities in the Sun Demi-G.o.d Domain.

Even though Black Iron City was a place filled with all kinds of criminals and many gangs, none of them dared to cause trouble to Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant as it was the property of the Wu Family, one of the Nine Ancient Families of the Sun Demi-G.o.d Domain.

The Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant was very clean and luxurious which was why Ling Chen chose to spend the night there instead of the other inns.

At this moment, the sun had already risen into the horizon and the warm sunlight sprinkled in from outside the window, transforming into rays of light that illuminated Ling Chen's room.

Feeling the warm sunlight into his face, Ling Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"It's already morning." Ling Chen murmured as he stretched his body before getting off the bed.

Last night, he spent so much time observing the growth of the Seven Fruits Of Creation within his sea of consciousness that he only got three hours of sleep.

"The way things are going, by tomorrow morning, all the seven fruits will be ripening." He added with a slight smile on his face.

It's been more than four years since he's been working his a.s.s off to ripen those fruits. Even the previous seven fruits didn't make him work that hard.

Now, knowing that they were going to be ripened by tomorrow, he was unable to contain the joy in his heart.

"Well, I'm starving. It's time to get something to eat."
