C6 Conspiracy
The sky had already turned dark. Seeing that the last bit of sunset had also dimmed, Prime Minister Mo Dong sighed and began to pace non-stop. Why hadn't Mo Xie returned yet?
At this time, the elderly butler came running in, shaking his fat body, "This is bad, the mayor, the young master, he …" They were taken away by the people of Heaven Nether City! "
"What?" "People from Heaven Nether City?" Mo Dongcheng turned and stared at the butler in disbelief, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Today, according to your arrangements, young master went into the Forbidden Forest to hunt, although you secretly sent people to protect him, but young master has a stubborn nature, likes to be free, and intentionally left the other guards behind, going into the depths of the forest alone, there was a fierce battle with some unknown monster, when the guards noticed, and rushed over, young master was already taken away, the guards asked around, and finally found out, that it was from the three sons of Tian Ming City's City Lord, Long Ming Ming. " The butler said.
Mo Dongcheng's chest heaved up and down. He took a deep breath, then slowly let it out. He was both angry and anxious.
What kind of place was Tianming City? Other than its strength being similar to Yunjin City, their family had many branches of population. The most important thing was that there was an elder group in the upper echelons, and there were over a hundred people. Among them, the most prestigious old man had probably broken through the ninth level of the Qi Method and reached the Profound Sky Realm.
The Mysterious Sky Realm could snatch Qi from the heavens, and there were 100 of them. Even 100 of them, who were like him, were not a match for that elder.
If he angered them, wouldn't he become an ant in their hands? He could crush them whenever he wanted to.
To them, killing a City Lord was as easy as flipping their hand.
Mo Dongcheng was worried. Who let him be the mayor? He wanted to save his child, but he couldn't lose face.
If there was a war, the people of both cities would suffer. He had built his own family from scratch, there was no elder group up there, and he only had one son left. If he did not save his son, when his generation was over, the Mo family would have no descendants.
The child could not be saved, but he still had to think of a way to resolve this dispute peacefully.
Within the city, tens of thousands of lights shone brilliantly.
After the Long family's three brothers returned, they excitedly reported to Long Shengming about today's fortuitous encounter.
In the main hall, the three handsome young men were beaming with joy as they narrated the entire process.
"What?" Long Shengming's face changed and he jumped up from the chair, fearfully saying: "You brought back the fated person from Fire Phoenix?!"
The three of them saw that something was wrong with Long Shengming's expression. Not only was he not happy, he was actually worried. They were very confused.
Long Yue asked curiously, "Father, why are you so uneasy? What is going on?"
"This fire phoenix is a divine being that exists between the heaven and earth. Once it designates that fated person, that fated person will definitely become the god of the heaven and earth, and no one will be able to defeat him. It's best if we don't provoke them, lest we cause a fatal disaster!"
"But, that kid's cultivation has only just entered Stage Five, he's not our match at all. He's still unconscious!" Dragon Star said, puzzled.
"Children," Long Shengming turned around, staring at the three of them, and said seriously, "Right now, although he is not your opponent, it doesn't mean that he won't be in the future. You can't underestimate anyone."
Long Ri was more mature and stable. He suddenly came up with a plan. "Father, since that brat hasn't woken up yet, why don't we …" Get rid of him so that there won't be no end of trouble in the future! "
"That's right, father, your big brother's words are reasonable!" Long Yue and Long Xing chimed in, looking at Long Shengming with pleading gazes.
Long Shengming naturally understood this, but he was a man of foresight, and would not act rashly.
He thought for a moment, "After we kill him, the fire phoenix will not let us go so easily. Although it only has a cultivation of six stages, you think that it's easy to deal with. The divine object is a divine object, so it can be easily grasped.
"Then what should we do? I wonder what kind of plan father has? " Long Ri said.
Long Shengming thought about it for a moment and didn't know what to do.
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran in and greeted them, "Reporting to the City Lord, Yunjin City has sent an envoy to wait outside. Do you want him to come in?"
"Let him in!"
"Yes, Mayor."
Long Shengming didn't have a shred of hesitation. He had already guessed that Yun Jin city's envoy visiting late at night was definitely related to this young man.
"Father, it seems that this matter isn't simple." Long Sun had already smelled it.
"Let's take a look first." Long Shengming was rather calm.
The envoy entered. He was a young man in his thirties. He was gentle and refined. One look was all it took to tell that he was a scholar.
"Please sit down!" When Long Shengming saw the envoy enter, he was the first to speak and warmly greeted him. He had already thought of a plan in his heart.
The envoy was flattered and replied politely, "There's no need. Thank you City Lord, this matter is urgent. I will leave as soon as I finish speaking."
Long Shengming leisurely sat back on his chair, ready to listen to his content.
The envoy continued, "Today, the three young masters of the City Lord have brought a young man, and that young man is the only son of the City Lord of Yunjin City." Today, the three young masters of the City Lord had brought a young man, and that young man is the only son of the City Lord of Yunjin City.
According to Mo Dongcheng's instructions, the envoy had already lowered his voice. But the more it was like this, the more pleased the three young masters became with themselves.
After Long Shengming heard the envoy's words, it was as he had expected. Things were much easier now.
In terms of overall strength, Mo Dongcheng was alone, he did not have the protection of the doyens, and he only had this single child. From this, it could be seen how important his son was to him.
When he talked about Mo Dongcheng, he naturally thought of Tongzhu. This was the key, and also the most attractive reason why he didn't dare to fight for her in public, but to protect his own reputation.
Now that Mo Dongheng's son was in his hands, he could naturally make a legitimate request for an exchange. Who told his son to offend their family first, that was a very good excuse.
Besides, if Mo Dongcheng really agreed to the exchange, he would be able to get the most benefits and send his son back without having to kill him in case he angered Fire Phoenix to get revenge. It would be killing two birds with one stone, God help him!
When Long Shengming thought of this, he secretly smiled in satisfaction, but didn't show it. He calmly asked, "But, how do we calculate our losses if we just put it back?"
The envoy said, "Our City Lord has said that as long as young master can return safely, you can decide how much you want to pay him."
"We don't lack money." Long's reputation is further threatening to make things difficult.
"Then... What does the Mayor want? " The emissary said awkwardly, cold sweat trickling down his back.
"Tell your City Lord the truth, that he wants to bring his son back and exchange him with a Tongtong Pearl. Otherwise, there's no need to talk about it anymore! " Long Shengming's tone was firm. Finally, he opened his mouth and spoke frankly. His attitude and position were unquestionable.
The eyes of the Long family's third son lit up. He finally understood that his father had originally been playing this trump card. It was truly brilliant. That Tongzhu was definitely more valuable than that Fire Phoenix.
That was all they could think of.
"Yes, then I'll take my leave." The messenger said no more and retreated.
Looking at the messenger leaving, Long Ri could not help but praise him, "Father, you are brilliant!"
Long Shengming leisurely sipped the tea in his cup and lightly said, "In the future, when you do something, don't be impatient. Think twice before acting, don't only know one thing, you don't know the other. The most important thing is to grasp the opportunity."
"Understood." The three sons accepted it willingly.
"What?"
Mo Dongcheng heard the report from the messenger and stood up with a pale face. He knew that things would not be as simple as he thought.
Long Shengming definitely already had this in mind. Right now, he was only using this as an excuse to show off. Perhaps they had intentionally captured Mo Xie and then used her as a threat.
Mo Dongcheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. On one side was his only son, and on the other was the precious pearl, telling him what choice he should make.
After a sleepless night, he was almost worried until his hair turned white, yet he still hesitated, finding it difficult to make a decision.
Of course, the most important thing to say was that his son was important, but he wasn't willing to hand over Tong Zhu like that. If the Long family got Tong Zhu, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that time, Tian Ming City would surely dominate the world, and there would be no place for Mo Dong Cheng. The city would be destroyed, and the citizens of the city would no longer be able to live peacefully. It was truly a dilemma!
