Cheng Yu looked back at City Lord Hongtian and the guards who hurriedly left the City Lord's Mansion, and smiled softly, but did not take it seriously.
Based on the explanation Elder Yang and the others had given him before, they knew that the Lord of Hongtian City might be related to Tianyue Waichao. Therefore, his actions at this time may obviously be asking for help from Tianyue Waichao.
However, this may be exactly what he wants. It just so happens that he also takes the opportunity to see the power of Tianyue Waichao and see if he can turn his ideas into reality.
Entering the reception hall, everyone sat down, and soon a servant served Cheng Yu and the others steaming tea.
"Everyone, I, Mr. Hong, don't like beating around the bush. I also know that you are not actually here to seek refuge with me, Hongyu Mansion. I want to know what your real intention is?" After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, City Lord Hongtian put down his Teacup asked, looking at the six people sitting down.
At least five of the six people are monks in the tribulation stage. To be honest, such a lineup is extremely rare even in a city like Hongyu City.
Although he has been recruiting talents from outside, there has never been a monk in the tribulation period who has come to seek refuge with him in Hongyu City. But now five or six people came all at once, which was obviously a bit unusual.
Moreover, the strength of these people seems to be no lower than my own. These peerless masters believe that no matter where they go, they will receive the best hospitality.
But it happened that several people like this came to Hongyu City, which made it difficult for him not to be suspicious.
If they came to seek refuge with Tianyue Waichao, then he would be able to accept it.
"Since the Lord of Hongtian City is so quick to talk, we won't waste time. In fact, our purpose is very simple. We just heard that the Lord of Hongtian City has a very amazing magic weapon. We think that the Lord of Hongtian City used it to resist the sky. He successfully became a monk in the tribulation stage.
And we came here because of its reputation and want to see this incredible magic weapon. I wonder if Lord Hongtian can let me have a feast and see this magic weapon with my own eyes? "When Elder Fan saw this situation, he didn't hesitate and said straight to the point.
"This..." Hongtian City Lord was obviously very suspicious after hearing what Elder Fan said.
He didn't think that these monks in the Tribulation Stage were just here to take a look at the magic weapon in his hand. It was more likely that these people were here to steal his magic weapon.
Besides, this magic weapon is very important to him, and it is his life-saving magic weapon. How can he show it to others easily?
"City Lord Hongtian, please don't worry. We have no ill intentions. We just want to witness the magnificence of this magic weapon of the City Lord. We also hope that the City Lord can fulfill it!" Elder Yang saw that City Lord Hongtian was so hesitant. It was obvious that he had too many concerns, so He quickly added.
"I want to know who you are? We are strangers to each other, but a few of them suddenly came to my house and asked me to take out the magic weapon and show it to you. Is such a request reasonable?" City Lord Hongtian said as he looked at the six people. .
I have to say, this is true.
He didn't know where these people came from, but now they suddenly came to his house to see his magic weapon.
Even if this magic weapon is not something shameful, it is absolutely impossible for him to show it to a group of outsiders, let alone a group of highly capable strangers.
To say that they really didn't have any ill intentions, he absolutely didn't believe it.
These people are all monks in the tribulation stage. What have you not seen at this level? Is it really just to take a look at his magic weapon? He didn't believe it.
"We are just casual cultivators, and we have no reputation in the world of cultivation, so we are not worth mentioning." Elder Yang said.
"Although I don't dare to say that you have a complete understanding of your strength, you have basically reached the tribulation stage. I don't believe that a few casual cultivators can achieve such high achievements." Hongtian City Lord directly questioned road.
He did not believe that these people were just nameless people. It was obvious that they were unwilling to tell their true identities.
It's not that he thinks it's impossible for casual cultivators to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, but with so many Tribulation Transcendence Stages appearing all at once, and they're all casual cultivators, the possibility is very small.
After all, compared to those monks with sects and backgrounds, it is even more difficult for casual cultivators to obtain enough resources for their own practice.
But as casual cultivators, all of these people have reached the stage of transcending tribulation. Even if they are really casual cultivators, the resources they get are probably stolen from everywhere.
In this case, it is definitely impossible for him to take out his magic weapon.
He didn't think that he could deal with the five Tribulation Stages by himself. Even if the remaining person was not in the Tribulation Stage, his strength might not be simple.
So now he has to stall for time. He has already sent people to find people. As long as the people he is looking for arrive, then these people will have nothing to worry about.
"The Lord of Hongtian City doesn't seem to be optimistic about casual cultivators? Yes, casual cultivators do not have any advantage in resources, but this is just the plight of most casual cultivators in the world of cultivation.
However, this does not mean that all casual cultivators in the world do not have the ability to cultivate to the stage of transcending tribulation. There are countless resources in this world. As long as you work hard enough, I think as long as you have enough talent, it will only be a matter of time before you become a monk in the Tribulation Stage.
Besides, we brothers have always worked hard together, so it doesn’t seem strange that everyone can reach the Tribulation Stage. "Elder Yang explained.
Obviously, after changing their appearance this time, they had already thought about their identities.
The last time they set themselves up as a foreign minister, if they make trouble again this time as another foreign minister, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of some thoughtful people.
So now it is best not to use the identity of Wai Chao, no matter which Wai Chao it is, even if it is a Wai Chao that cannot compete with Chi Huo Wai Chao, it is best not to use it.
That's why they now use the identity of a casual cultivator. A casual cultivator is like a rootless duckweed with no identity and background. For a few of them, this is the best reason.
"In that case, I must know your names, right?" Hongtian City Lord asked.
Although he didn't believe Elder Yang's words at all, because although such rhetoric seemed reasonable, it was simply untenable.
However, since the other party said so, should he still slap the other party in the face in public?
Anyway, he doesn't plan to show the magic weapon to these people. Who knows what their plans are?
And what he has to do now is delay time. As long as his people arrive, everything will be easy.
"The names of cultivators have long since faded away in the years of cultivation, but the six of us brothers all have the same surname. Lord Hongtian can just call us Qi one Qi two Qi three Qi four Qi five Qi six!" Yang The elder said casually.
In fact, Cheng Yu and the others' purpose was just to find an excuse to get through without finding out their true identities.
So it doesn't matter at all whether the other party will believe their words. Whether he believes it or not, the most important thing is to achieve his goal.
But at the moment, it seems that the Lord of Hongtian City is just stalling for time.
Moreover, based on their understanding of Hongyu City, they basically guessed that he was delaying time to wait for the people from Tianyue Waichao.
To be honest, some of them were still a little worried about Tianyue Waichao.
However, their young master didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he was very willing to have contact with Tianyue Waichao.
Although they were not in favor of the young master doing this, this was Hongyu City. Even if Yue Waichao was not far from here that day, it would be impossible to move the entire Waichao to Hongyu City at once.
Therefore, even if the Lord of Hongtian City waits for the masters from Tianyue Waichao, it should not cause them too much trouble.
But if the young master wanted to go to Tianyue Waichao's residence to have a look, this would be something they would never agree to.
"It seems that you are not very sincere. In this case, how can I dare to take out the magic weapon and show it to you?" Hongtian City Lord said lightly.
At this point in the conversation, basically none of what these people say is credible.
There was no need for him to ask about their true identity, because since the other party wanted to conceal it deliberately, no matter how he asked, the answer he got would only be false.
"Lord Hongtian, although our request is indeed a bit abrupt and even offensive. We must not be willing to reveal our identity for our own reasons. It is indeed because it is inconvenient to disclose.
But we definitely came with sincerity, we just wanted to take a look at the city lord's magic weapon, that's all.
As long as the city lord is willing to see the magic weapon with our own eyes, I am willing to give this ten thousand-year-old blood ginseng to the city lord, how about it? "Cheng Yu knew that the other party would not believe what they said, so there was no need to make up any excuses and just took out a blood-red herb.
"Your Excellency, what a great gesture!" Seeing this ten thousand-year-old blood ginseng tree, Lord Hongtian was also shocked, but on the surface he was calm.
Thousand-year blood ginseng is indeed rare, and it is even helpful to his current cultivation level.
But although this ten thousand-year-old blood ginseng is precious, it is definitely inferior to his magic weapon.
Moreover, the man in front of him calmly took out a ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng without even blinking, which shows that this man's identity is quite extraordinary.
However, this man was willing to give away a ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng just to take a look, which inevitably made people doubt his true intentions.
This magic weapon is not something that is invisible to others, but if someone wants to steal it, that is a different matter.
It's obviously not worth it for a thousand-year-old blood ginseng.
"Your Excellency, this thousand-year-old blood ginseng is indeed precious, and I really want it. However, the magic weapon you mentioned is no longer in my hands, so you may be disappointed!" City Lord Hongtian finally pressed his buttons. Keeping the longing in his heart for this ten thousand-year-old blood ginseng tree, he declined politely!
