The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Mo Xinren didn't expect that Gu Yi was so good at talking.

Even when at a disadvantage, he remained calm.

If it were someone else.

I'm afraid I've already fallen into the trap of self-proof by now!

"It's better to forget about your little tricks."

Mo Xinren retreated to advance, saying, "I admit that my expression was inadequate. Everyone present here is intelligent. The wind chimes at the city gate speak for themselves. Our trading city has never deliberately shielded anyone, so I won't dwell on this matter any further."

"Your eyes are on your ass!!!"

Gu Yi suddenly shouted loudly, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the audience. He pointed at the Black and White Devils and shouted, "These are evil cultivators! Evil cultivators who kill without blinking an eye!"

"Evil cultivators can be good or bad."

Mo Xinren argued cunningly, "I still say the same thing. Everyone here is smart. If there were a better choice, who would be willing to become a wicked cultivator that everyone would hate?"

"If you were to replace it with another evil cultivator, I would barely agree with your statement."

Gu Yi was unyielding: "But these two are the black and white evil spirits who bring disaster to the world of martial arts. They are known as the 'life-seeking impermanence'. Come on, tell me, what are their difficulties?"

Before Mo Xinren could reply, Gu Yi continued to attack, just to shut him up: "Even if they had their reasons, so what? Who of those who died at their hands didn't have their reasons? Who wasn't innocent?"

"As you wish."

Gu Yi seized the loophole in Mo Xinren's words and hit the nail on the head: "I killed and burned people because I had no choice, I raped women because I had no choice, and I massacred people because I had no choice..."

"I have my own reasons for all of this. I have no other choice but to resort to this. If there were a better option, I would not do this."

He spread his hands, "If I say this to everyone I meet, will the world pity me, forgive my sins, stand up for me, and protect me from harm?"

"Or are you the only one who would do this, Lord City Lord?"

That's all for the sake of talking about it.

If Mo Xinren still dares to quibble, it would confirm his crime of harboring evil cultivators.

In fact, everyone knew what Mo Xinren had said before.

But he made a crucial mistake.

His current identity is the mayor of the trading city. He knows about evil cultivators and murderers, but saying it out loud like he is shielding them.

Even though everyone knows that this happened.

If you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, we will keep to ourselves, keep a low profile and not disturb each other.

But if it is said out loud, the nature of the matter will change completely.

Just as Mo Xinren was considering whether he should kill the two useless Black and White Demons with a single palm in order to get things back on track and exchange them for the Nine-Curved Sky-reaching Wood.

One of the city lords said, "It has nothing to do with City Lord Mo."

"I was the one who arranged for these two evil cultivators to work under City Lord Mo."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Does this mean that the matter of sheltering the evil cultivators was not just the arbitrary act of one city lord, but that at least two city lords of the trading cities knew the inside story?

Things are starting to get interesting.

Will it continue to be called the "City of Trade" or the "City of Sin"?

It all depends on the performance of City Lord Cao, who spoke up to rescue City Lord Mo.

City Lord Cao and City Lord Luo, who was also on Mo Xinren's side, exchanged glances.

The two men jumped down from a high place and stood on either side of Mo Xinren.

City Lord Cao, who had just spoken, explained, "While I was handling business outside the city, I encountered these two sneaky evil cultivators. I wanted to execute them on the spot, but I didn't realize they both had tragic life stories. They had completely gone against their will and had no choice but to become evil cultivators."

Gu Yi raised the corner of his mouth in disdain.

That expression seemed to be saying: Keep playing, Brother Gu is listening.

City Lord Cao was a burly man with a full beard, but at this moment, he revealed a certain compassion for the world. He sighed and said, "It would be a shame to execute them without any merit and without any fault. So, I have planted restrictions on them both and brought them back to the City Lord, and sent them to City Lord Mo. From now on, they will do a good deed every day to wash away their sins."

"City Lord Mo also said that just now."

City Lord Cao walked behind Gu Yi with his hands behind his back, turned around suddenly, pointed at Gu Yi, and shouted, "His two reformed subordinates came to you to find out the reason, but you, in order to cover up the truth, disregarded the rules of our trading city and tried to kill them!"

"who do you think You Are?"

His eyes narrowed with a hint of hostility. "There are many people who are stronger than you, but they still quietly abided by the rules and gave our Trading City some face."

"You are really disrespecting everyone by doing this!"

"I don't dare wear such a big hat."

Gu Yi smiled and shook his head, saying sarcastically, "In the Trading City, anyone can be the city lord. I wonder who doesn't take everyone seriously. They keep saying they're smart, but their words are so clumsy... When they encounter evil cultivators, they don't kill them, but bring them back. Oh, right, restrictions. Do one good deed a day. Puff... Okay, show us the restrictions."

He raised his head and gestured to the Black and White Devils not far away, "Let everyone see how righteous and noble the Lord of the Trading City is."

"What a joke! I, someone who wanted to hide the truth, didn't choose to abscond with the treasure. Instead, I fought against two evil cultivators of the same realm, and one who was one small realm higher than me. As if I was afraid that others would not know, I caused such a shocking commotion, attracting everyone to watch... Amazing! Not only did I not take everyone seriously, I also treated everyone as fools."

"What are you waiting for? Let everyone see the restrictions."

Gu Yi urged.

"Oh and more!"

As if remembering something.

He reminded them, "You will also tell everyone later how much resources you provided and how many people you fed to them to enable the evil cultivators of the Blood Demon Hall to achieve what they have today."

The chaos in the trading city is well known to everyone.

Even if a cultivator comes here to trade information, if he is not accompanied by an elder, he must reach the level of Kaihai Realm or above to have the confidence to come to the trading city.

But in such a city where all kinds of evil people and liars gathered, there was such a compassionate City Lord Cao.

When you encounter an evil cultivator, instead of killing him, you capture him and do good deeds for him every day?

It's ridiculous to think about it.

The key point is that these two evil cultivators with impressive cultivation levels are from the Blood Demon Hall.

If it stops swallowing, there is a high probability that it will run out of energy and die.

Cao Cheng mainly has the means to stop the operation of the evil magic in the bodies of the evil practitioners of the Blood Demon Hall, so his true identity is much more terrifying than the Black and White Demons!

Gu Yi's seemingly self-deprecating words not only did not make anyone look down on him, but also allowed everyone to see the true faces of several city lords in the Trading City.

Who is really looking down on others...

So hard to guess...

City Lord Cao obviously didn't expect Gu Yi to have such great insight.

He was able to take advantage of the loopholes in his words and outwit him.

Right now, it is actually very simple for City Lord Cao to prove his innocence. He just needs to show the restrictions on Heisha for everyone to see.

But the problem is, this is just a pretext made up on the spot, there is no need for so much preparation.

Even if you want to quietly place a ban now, it's too late.

Moreover, there is also a Thunder Emperor in the crowd who is always paying attention to the situation here.

This old guy is also a person who can't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

If City Lord Cao was caught committing a crime by the leader of the Ming Sect, he would not have the face to stay in the Trading City in the future.

"Look, what did I just say?"

Lu Duoduo raised her eyebrows proudly, "If you had taken action and killed those two evil cultivators just now, would you still be able to see such a wonderful 'quarrel'?"

"Senior sister is still far-sighted."

Hu Yanming nodded. He looked at Gu Yi and asked thoughtfully, "This man can actually fight two evil cultivators of the same realm alone without losing. Even now, facing the oppression of the three city lords of the Trading City, he still maintains his composure. It's really amazing."

"But, has he never thought about the consequences if the other party reveals the prohibition?"

"What consequences can there be? At most, the evil cultivator will return to the Nine-Bend Heaven-reaching Wood."

Lu Duoduo said nonchalantly, "Besides, why do you think that guy wanted to provoke the Sect Master just now? To show off? If you think so, you are totally wrong, little brother~"

"He did this purely to show those city lords. His purpose was to tell them that this is not the trading city that has the final say."

"As for the rules... the Trading City is nothing!"

"If you really mess with someone you shouldn't mess with, Mama will give you this broken city!"

After listening to Lu Duoduo's analysis, Hu Yanming took a breath.

Although I don’t understand what my senior sister is saying, she seems very powerful!

"Second Senior Sister, when did your brain become so useful?"

"Oh, it's always been useful, but I'm just too lazy to use it~"

"I see! As expected of Second Senior Sister!"

"Little brother, please don't be too obsessed with me. I'm just a legend~"

"But if you have such a good brain, why didn't you use it before?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of being captured by the old master and taken over the position of the master?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Cangshan's mouth twitched slightly.

You bastard Donkey Duoduo, go back and attend a meeting with me at Yunfeng!

"Are you questioning this city lord?!"

City Lord Cao tried to force Gu Yi to submit by using his aura.

But who is Gu Yi? The immortal has seen more than one!

Just a small city lord...

When he came here before, which city lord would not bow and scrape to him?

"You should have secretly sent a message to City Lord Mo just now."

Gu Yi showed no sign of stage fright.

He even predicted Mo Xinren's next move and said with a smile, "He was able to subdue those two evil cultivators so well. He must have a vital hand on their lifeline. You jumped out without even asking. How much benefit did you receive from them?"

"Ah, I really don't know how to say hello to you. You said you've become the city lord and your life is so comfortable, why are you so depressed that you want to collude with these evil cultivators?"

The situation suddenly reversed.

City Lord Cao's purpose was too obvious before. He put a big hat on Gu Yi without thinking about the logic. Now, Gu Yi put an even bigger hat on him in turn.

But now so many people are watching.

As a city lord, it is difficult for him to take action against Gu Yi.

City Lord Cao's face turned pale, but due to the lessons learned from the previous incident, he began to think about taking off this big hat and teaching Gu Yi a lesson.

But what he didn't expect was that Gu Yi actually refused to accompany him!

"Go away, don't embarrass yourself by coming out."

"You! How dare you!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who has something to hide.

Witnessing this scene, City Lord Luo couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, he just followed him down and didn't say anything like shooting himself in the foot...

Gu Yi then pointed his finger at Mo Xinren, whose smile had long since vanished, and continued, "It is precisely because of scum like you that the Trading City has become the mess it is today."

"I won't ask you who saw me kill the trader, so you don't have to drag someone else out to take the blame later. But I really want to know, City Lord Mo...how did you know that I traded a piece of Nine-Bend Tongtian Wood for a hundred spirit stones?"

"Let's not talk about whether I have this thing or not."

Gu Yi was genuinely puzzled: "How can you be so sure that what I traded for a hundred spirit stones is a sacred object for cultivation like the Nine-Bend Heaven-reaching Wood?"

"Are you here for the traders, or for the Nine-Bend Sky-reaching Wood?"

"Or, are you coming for me?"

City Lord Cao was unable to prove the unclear relationship between himself and the evil cultivator. Now, it was City Lord Mo's turn to prove the causal relationship between him and the Nine-Curved Sky-reaching Wood.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, City Lord Luo retreated a distance without making a sound.

There was no expression on Mo Xinren's face, but his fists were clenched quietly, and his nails were so deeply embedded in the flesh because he was clenching too hard.

Who on earth is this kid? Why is he so difficult to deal with?

Perhaps I should have killed this kid regardless of the consequences before...

How did Mo Xinren know that Gu Yi had the Nine-Bend Tongtian Wood? Wasn't it because those two snake-like, useless people, the Black and White Evils, had communicated to him before they died?

Mo Xinren himself was not sure whether it happened or not. He didn't even know the ins and outs of the matter thoroughly. If not, he wouldn't have fallen into such a passive position.

In fact, if Mo Xinren had used force to force Gu Yi to hand over the Nine-bend Wood at the beginning, due to the situation, Gu Yi might have really surrendered.

Otherwise, he is at the Kaihai realm, and the other party is at the Huaqiao realm and the Bi'an realm...

No matter how hard your head is, it can't withstand a beating!

But Mo Xinren chose to frame others with his mouth...

You are really showing off your skills in front of an expert and overestimating your own abilities.

"Did you kill the dealer?"

A voice came from somewhere and sounded a little hoarse, but Gu Yi keenly observed that as soon as the voice fell, Mo Xinren's eyes suddenly brightened.

There are also experts...
