Chapter 71 Who in this hall is suing this... God?

At the same time, City Lord Xiao and a group of nobles were climbing Qinglong Mountain.

Everyone was dressed smartly and looked angry.

They came from the city because of several divine punishments that killed their "black gloves", such as Rost.

If the Dragon Palace attacks them again next time, wouldn't that be against Tiangang?

Killing the nobles for a group of untouchables?

What kind of bullshit god is that?!

They all reacted strongly and insisted on pulling City Lord Xiao over.

"Lord, we nobles are building bridges and roads in Notting City. You have to protect us, right?"

"Yes, a bunch of unruly people who don't know how to respect us. They have too many misunderstandings about us. They are stirring up trouble in front of that God. What should we do if they accidentally hurt us?"

"I think we should just get rid of that temple! Our Notting City doesn't need the protection of any gods!"

"That's right! The people of Notting City are so happy, why should other gods interfere? Isn't this just adding to the chaos?!"

"..."

The nobles became more and more excited as they spoke, their faces flushed and their necks thickened, and they even lost their usual manners.

Now is a matter of life and death.

They were all very worried if the Azure Dragon Temple didn't move away.

If one day a bolt of lightning strikes on your head, it will be too late!

City Lord Xiao felt helpless when he saw how excited the nobles were.

He had no choice but to be framed by these nobles!
After all, he is just a baron of the lowest rank!

"Everyone, rest assured. I will try my best... I will try my best... Within the Tiandou Empire, there are naturally national laws to deal with everything, and we won't rely on other laws!"

City Lord Xiao made a solemn promise.

The nobles then nodded in agreement, but their words were still filled with dissatisfaction.

"If that high priest doesn't appreciate our kindness, we will expel him from Notting City!"

"That's right! Do you really think we are easy to bully?"

"Tiandou has been established for thousands of years. When did we allow others to be above the law? If the Dragon Palace doesn't leave, we won't give up!"

"..."

City Lord Xiao wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling helpless.

……

After a while, everyone reached the top of the mountain.

When the common people who came to worship saw these nobles, they were all stunned, and then they automatically made way for them to enter the Dragon Temple first.

The noble gentlemen were all arrogant and looked very conceited in front of the common people.

City Lord Xiao stood at the front, the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by seriousness and awe.

When they arrived at the temple gate, they all fell silent, their eyes fixed on City Lord Xiao's back.

Yu Mengzhang walked to the door and looked calmly at this group of people who were dressed in bright clothes, had fair skin and rosy complexions, and were fat and plump.

City Lord Xiao first cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, High Priest, there have been several lightning strikes in Notting City, resulting in the deaths of seven people, including Rost... I wonder if this has anything to do with the Dragon Palace?"

Before Yu Mengzhang could respond, the people around him all cheered when they heard the news of the dead people.

Everyone smiled happily and shouted loudly:
"Long live the Lord God!!!"

"Those beasts are finally dead! They should have died long ago! If they hadn't been protected by the nobles, they would have been beheaded dozens of times!"

"I am willing to serve the Lord God for the rest of my life!"

"..."

The shouts were deafening, and the sincerity contained in them was extremely strong.

Led by someone, all the common people knelt down and kowtowed to the Dragon Temple.

The power of faith in them surged like a tide.

At the same time, it is also mixed with the power of merit.

Yu Mengzhang raised his eyebrows slightly. His plan was indeed correct. Killing the evildoers who persecuted the common people would gain the power of faith and merit!
City Lord Xiao blushed upon seeing this. They were all his people, but now they were all thanking a god for helping them.

Isn't this the biggest blow to his work?

"..."

A complex look flashed in City Lord Xiao's eyes.

Yu Mengzhang said calmly, "Stop."

As soon as he said this, the common people all shut up and obeyed him with great conviction.

It can be predicted that after today, Yu Mengzhang will have many more believers!

City Lord Xiao sighed and clasped his fists, saying, "High Priest, every family has its own rules, and every country has its own laws. Since those people have done something wrong, they should be handed over to the authorities..."

"What are you doing here?" Yu Mengzhang asked directly.

City Lord Xiao was stunned and glanced at Yu Mengzhang. The moment his eyes met the other's golden eyes, his heart trembled.

My waist, which was already bent, is now even lower.

He lowered his head, not even daring to look at Yu Mengzhang again, and even not daring to express his original request.

The pressure is too much!
Anyone can do this job, he won’t come anyway!
"If there is a noble who is speaking up for them, I will bring him here. Why not let them speak to the High Priest in person?"

City Lord Xiao decisively turned sideways, revealing the nobles behind him.

"!!!"

The nobles' expressions all changed.

Yu Mengzhang looked at them and asked, "What do you want?"

"We...we..."

Even City Lord Xiao was afraid of Yu Mengzhang's majesty, let alone this group of pampered nobles.

They looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, a nobleman said, "It's like this, High Priest. I'm Viscount Dawson, the city defense officer. I'm also a kind and generous person. I heard that the Shenlong Temple pleads for the people, and I admire it very much. So I wanted to donate money for the expansion..."

His words attracted the attention of the nobles, and they all spoke up:

"Me too! I want to build a golden statue for the Lord God! Made entirely of gold! I guarantee it will be the most magnificent!"

"I, I...I will transplant the most beautiful trees to this mountain!"

"I have a bookstore at home. I can write a biography for the Lord God! My name will live forever..."

"..."

All the noble lords began to talk about their own value.

They looked at Yu Mengzhang eagerly, hoping to get some praise or reassurance.

To put it simply... lose money to avoid disaster!
Since you can't fight it, just give money to buy peace!
Anyway, they will always be nobles, so they can just get the money they lost in the Dragon Palace back from the people!

Yu Mengzhang shook his head slightly, "No need for that."

Although his voice was soft, it could reach everyone's ears and silence the nobles.

"..."

Everyone's expression changed slightly. Not accepting gifts?
You don't want to kill them, do you?

Thinking of this, the nobles became a little scared, and they all looked at City Lord Xiao, putting pressure on him.

City Lord Xiao lowered his head, feeling aggrieved.

These bastards are really disgusting!

He came with great momentum and put all kinds of pressure on himself, but when he got in front of the high priest, he pretended to be good and nice.

Now that I've been rejected by the high priest, he actually wants me to step forward?

It’s so deceiving!
City Lord Xiao hesitated for a moment and was about to speak.

A voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Is the City Lord here? I, Yu Xiaogang, want to sue the Azure Dragon Temple...!"
