Chapter 2061 Zheng Ding

In the tower.

A middle-aged man stood in front of the window, looking around with a calm expression.

This person has a square and plump face, unusually long hands and feet, and a unique bone structure. His eyes flash from time to time. He is a practitioner in the realm of transcending tribulations.

"City Lord, someone wants to see you!"

The sergeant walked in quickly and bowed.

The city lord didn't turn around, "Who is it and what's the matter?"

The sergeant responded, "Three of them are said to be from the Wen family in Wenting Mountain. They have great wealth to offer to the city lord. Two of them are not to be afraid of, but there is one person whose subordinates cannot distinguish his cultivation and dare not be good at it, so Come and repay the city lord."

"Great wealth..."

The city lord was slightly thoughtful, but in a blink of an eye, he was no longer there.

The sergeant hesitated and quickly followed out.

In front of the city gate.

The security here is extremely tight, with three lines of defense, trenches, and spear arrays. There are dozens of sergeants guarding each line of defense.

In front of the front line of defense, Zhou Shu stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed. Wen Yiyuan and Wen Ning stood on one side, very respectful, while the sergeant on the opposite side looked nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Even practitioners could tell that, They were just the other two, but Zhou Shu's strength was unfathomable, and even the city lord might not be able to match that powerful aura.

"Could it be that the city lords from other cities came to rob the city?"

Most of them have such thoughts. Such things are considered common in the Five Taoist Worlds. Major cities are facing more than just corpses and increasingly harsh environments.

There are also the same practitioners.

"Haha, it's great to have distinguished guests come to our door!"

The city lord walked out quickly and saluted from a distance with a gentle look on his face, "I, Zheng Ding, am the city lord of Tianxing City and have met a few of them."

"City Lord Zheng is too modest."

Zhou Shu raised his hand to return the salute, "Wen Shu, the elders of the Wen family in Wenting Mountain, these are Wen Yiyuan and Wen Ning."

Zheng Ding nodded, the corner of his mouth sank slightly, and there was a trace of doubt, "I have admired you for a long time, I must have been in seclusion all the time. I have heard the name of Patriarch Wen Yiyuan, but I have never heard of you."

Zhou Shu smiled faintly, "Yes, four thousand years of seclusion, but it's very boring."

"Four thousand years, my fellow Taoist is really..." Zheng Ding hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "No wonder my cultivation is so high, I feel ashamed."

"Don't dare, don't dare. Compared with the city lord, he is still far behind."

Zhou Shu shook his head and said thoughtfully, "City Lord Zheng, why don't you go into the city to talk?"

Zheng Ding smiled and said, "Of course it's okay to enter the city, but you still have to pay the city fee. These are the rules of Tianxing City. Rules are rules. No one can violate them. Even I have to pay it myself. And as a fellow Taoist, I have to pay the fee." With the ability, you can hunt down a monster and live there for a long time, it’s not difficult at all.”

"Rules are rules, yes."

Zhou Shu laughed and said, "That's why I specially sent a big fortune to comply with the city lord's rules."

Zheng Ding stroked his beard and said with satisfaction, "My fellow Taoist is so kind! I wonder what wealth is?"

Zhou Shu looked around and said, "Just say it here?"

Zheng Ding nodded, glanced around, and said with emotion, "It doesn't matter. I, Zheng Ding, am one with Tianxing Army. I don't have to hide anything from them. We will bear all the hardships together. And if we have great wealth, of course we will also share it with everyone." Share it together and no one will be left behind.”

The sergeants behind him looked over with eager eyes, obviously very happy.

Zhou Shu couldn't help but secretly admire him. Although he didn't know the city lord, it was very rare to say that. People's hearts aspired to it. It's no wonder he could command such a big city. He smiled and said in a deep voice, "City lord Zheng, I found a quicksand black well around Tianxing City."

Zheng Ding's expression suddenly changed, but instead of being happy, he was sullen, "Haha, fellow Taoist, did you come here on purpose to have fun? The quicksand black well outside Tianxing City is a hundred thousand miles east of the city. Who in the city knows about it? Is this what fellow Taoists call great wealth?"

Staring at Zhou Shu, his eyes were very unkind, and the sergeants behind him also took a step forward and glared at each other.

"what's the situation?"

Wen Yiyuan was shocked and his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Zhou Shu nervously, but Wen Ning remained motionless and looked back coldly, showing no fear at all.

Zhou Shu looked calm, "I think I didn't make it clear. You can explore the quicksand black well at any time and use the resources inside."

"What?"

Zheng Ding was shocked and sneered, "You can use it as you like. Can't fellow Taoist kill that corpse king?"

"impossible?"

"How is it possible? Even if the whole city works together, we can't kill that corpse king!"

"Last time Black Cloud City and Cangou City joined forces, most of them died, but the Corpse King was not damaged at all, and the two cities also died because of this..."

"That's right, I used to be from Canggu City, and I was lucky enough to escape. The Corpse King is simply not something we can deal with."

"This clan elder is so good at bragging. If he says something else, maybe I will believe him. Is this kind of lie easy to tell?"

The sergeants behind him shook their heads.

Zhou Shu looked at it with a smile and immediately understood the whole story.

Just around Tianxing City, how could we not know about the existence of Quicksand Black Well here? They didn't dare to go just because of the corpse king there. Now that Zhou Shu said such words, he was naturally shocked and couldn't believe it. Wen Yiyuan probably didn't know about these things beforehand, nor did he deliberately hide them from him.

He said calmly, "If you don't believe it, just come with me and you will find out."

Zheng Ding showed a trace of contemplation and stared at Zhou Shu, his face getting colder. "You want me to go with you, my Taoist friend. Isn't it ridiculous? Is it possible that my Taoist friend wants to occupy this city and plans to use a tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain first?" "

This statement can be said to be very straightforward. Zhou Shu couldn't help but laugh. What did he want this city to do?

"What are you laughing at, fellow Taoist?"

This smile made Zheng Ding even more nervous, and the sergeants behind him gathered around him, ready to take action at any moment.

Zhou Shu put away his smile and shook his head secretly. In today's world of food, everyone is extremely sensitive. It's no wonder that people are fighting to the death for resources. In this environment, it is not easy to gain a little trust from each other. , but Zhou Shu had to do this and find a way to gain trust.

Although this world is about to wither, there are still many merits, and it is worth spending time and energy.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Shu took out an object and asked, "Can the city lord recognize this object?"

Zheng Ding stared at Zhou Shu's hand and couldn't help but step back. His face was frozen in shock and his words were broken.

"Is this...this...is...the corpse blood soul?"

He was not the only one who was horrified. The sergeants turned pale and backed away, turning their heads at the same time. Wen Yiyuan was not much better, looking at Zhou Shu's hands in a daze, shaking like chaff.

Zhou Shu looked at them, seeming to realize something, but said nothing.

Corpse Blood Soul should be the name of this thing. Its specific function remains to be investigated, but for practitioners in the Five Taoism Realm, this thing is probably very harmful.

It was originally intended to be used as evidence, but it didn't want to have other effects.

Zhou Shu immediately closed his hands and said, "What do you think, City Lord?"

Zheng Dingshen took a breath, raised his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist killed the Corpse King and solved a serious problem for Tianxing City. Zheng is very grateful, but Taoist friend had better throw away the blood of the Corpse King as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.”
