1074 City Masters (1/2)

”So, what you're saying is… I am a suspect for the theft at the Miscellaneous House?”

Fang Yuan continued drinking his tea leisurely, without even standing up. He looked at the cultivators surrounding him, and his lips curled. ”Congratulations, you're right. You've found the culprit! City Guard Leader is truly a talented person. Haha…”

”Wait!” The city guard leader suddenly started sweating bullets. ”You just said… that the theft at the Miscellaneous House was your doing?”

Heavens!

He knew that someone even the Miscellaneous House Master could do nothing about was likely an Immortal!

He only wanted to get some scapegoats and did not want to die!

Now that Fang Yuan had admitted to it, he was in a bind.

What should I do? Should I take action against an Immortal array master? The city guard leader kept thinking. No! It's possible that he's just bluffing… But if it's true, I'll definitely die if I lay my hands on him!

He was bitter.

Who would have thought that the real culprit did not leave after the deed but was instead sitting here and drinking tea casually?

He was truly in a bind now.

”Guard Leader? Since you don't want to dirty your hands, how about I lend you a hand?”

Deputy City Guard Leader Zhou looked around in doubt, not knowing why the city guard leader's expression changed a few times, so he went along with the natural course of action and stepped forward.

”Wait!” A thunderous roar resounded, and a light flashed.

The deputy city guard leader cried out and flew backward, leaving a trail of blood in the air.

”House Master!” Jin Fu exclaimed as he looked at the long-browed man who had arrived and proceeded to greet him.

”Greetings, House Master!” The city guard leader also greeted the Miscellaneous House Master, heaving a sigh of relief.

The Miscellaneous House Master looked at Fang Yuan and asked, ”Are you Fellow Daoist Situ Zhaixing?”

”That's right!” Fang Yuan was slightly surprised. He had only just told Jin Buhuan this name. Of course, he would never leak it himself.

Then there was only one possibility! This Nascent Soul old man had actually managed to find out his name in this short amount of time!

”So it is you!” The Miscellaneous House Master bowed sincerely. ”My dao name is Fu Liu! I am one of the five city masters and would like to invite Fellow Daoist to my place for a meeting. What do you say?”

Despite him being at Nascent Soul, he could not help but be scared thinking about what he had just discovered. Isn't he supposed to be at the barbarian battlefield? Why did he come here?”

Of course, he did not know Fang Yuan's identity at first.

However, his method of bypassing the restrictions and directly taking away the treasures was too incredible, so he naturally had to investigate.

What he discovered made him terrified!

This self-proclaimed best godly thief in the world, Situ Zhaixing, is probably a barbarian. His cultivation level is unclear, and he likes to disguise himself as a Golden Core cultivator. His stealing technique is unparalleled, and he can take anything from a storage bag at will!

His accomplishment was incredible. He was able to act recklessly in the face of Immortals and easily take away countless treasures!

…

This accomplishment alone was enough to discourage him from having any crooked thoughts.

After all, there were only five Nascent Soul cultivators in Qingfeng City. How could they compare to a group of Immortals?

If this man were to go on a rampage, he could turn all of Qingfeng City upside down.

Someone able to come and go as he pleased in front of a group of Immortals should also be an Immortal. But I would never have imagined that… there was such a shameless Immortal in the world that likes to play jokes on us juniors!

The Miscellaneous House Master was very bitter.

”Have a talk at your place? Okay!” Fang Yuan rose and glanced at Lao Shetou and Deputy City Guard Leader Zhou.

”These two offended Fellow Daoist, so they'll naturally be dealt with strictly!” the Miscellaneous House Master said considerately. ”If Fellow Daoist has any other requests, please tell me!”

”It's okay!” Fang Yuan waved his sleeves and led the way. The group quickly left. The dao soldiers dispersed, and the restriction in the air was removed.

Only Jin Buhuan's dazed group was left.

”Situ Zhaixing… can command such respect from a city master, so he must be a famous Nascent Soul Patriarch.” Jin Fu was confused. ”Why have I never heard of him?”

”Unexpectedly, Brother Situ was so capable…” Jin Buhuan's jaw was wide open, and he did not notice his uncle's eyes were staring at him and glowing brighter and brighter.

”Sigh… Madam Luo, you've really harmed me!” Lao Shetou sighed regretfully.

Who would have thought that an ordinary-looking Golden Core customer would be such a terrifying existence in secret?

The city masters would surely deal with him strictly to avoid getting on his bad side. There was no need to think it over.

However, he could do nothing to escape from the dao soldiers around him. He could only smile bitterly and accept the punishment.
