Outside the city of Dream Sea City, Li Yuejin was confronting Xie Zhenming with the heads of various great families.
Li Yuejin was waiting for the guards in the city lord's mansion to send out a message, while Xie Zhenming was waiting to see if the Xie family could capture the inner city.
As time passed, Xie Zhenming still looked calm and composed, but someone behind Li Yuejin couldn't hold back his nerves.
Seizing the opportunity, Xie Zhenming shouted, "All the family heads should think clearly. Our Xie family is not a family that can't tolerate others. As long as you have the ability, whatever Li Yuejin can offer, our Xie family can offer you the same."
"A wise man submits to circumstances. All the family heads should think it over. Li Yuejin will end up in prison sooner or later. Why do you all seek your own doom?"
Hearing his words, there was an immediate stir in the crowd. However, those who were in a panic were all the heads of small families who had come to join in the fun.
The real people with a say in Dream Sea City didn't express their opinions at this time. They knew that no matter who won or lost, no one could do anything to them in the end.
Hearing the whispering sounds behind him, Li Yuejin frowned and suddenly spoke up.
"Those who want to return to the city can go back at will. I, Li Yuejin, won't make things difficult for you."
The people behind him felt relieved and one after another said, "Thank you, City Lord, for your understanding."
"The City Lord is magnanimous. It's the Xie family that is full of treachery."
"Yes, our Bai family will definitely stand firmly by the City Lord's side."
The head of the Bai family was well - known for his straightforward personality and had always disliked the overbearing attitude of the Xie family. Now that he saw the Xie family rebel, he was extremely pleased.
Li Yuejin hooked the corner of his mouth and arched his hands towards the head of the Bai family. "Thank you, Brother Bai, for your support."
The head of the Bai family waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.
The Bai family's statement put the others in an awkward position.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and then Li Yuejin's voice rang out again.
"If any of you want to enter the city at this moment, I won't say a word. But if you enter the city now, when the reckoning comes in the future, you will be treated as a rebel. Don't blame me for not showing old kindness then!"
Everyone was not surprised to hear this. If Li Yuejin really had no temper at all, he couldn't have been the city lord for so long.
Hearing this, the head of the Bai family immediately chimed in, "That's right, City Lord. We don't need those fence - sitters!"
"..." Everyone was quite speechless. They really thought that everyone was as simple - minded as he was.
Xie Zhenming watched these people coldly with a faint smile on his lips. No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, there was a noise inside the city gate behind him. The smile on Xie Zhenming's face grew wider. He lifted his whip and pointed at the head of the Bai family.
"Since the head of the Bai family is so righteous, let's start with the Bai family!"
As his voice fell, the city gate opened, and a team of guards escorted the old and young of the Bai family out.
Li Yuejin was taken aback and squinted his eyes.
He didn't expect the Bai family to be captured so quickly and be used as an example.
The head of the Bai family's face turned cold, and his eyes looking at Xie Zhenming seemed to be on fire!
"Why are you looking at me like that, Head of the Bai family? All your Bai family members are here. You should think carefully about what to choose!"
With these words, the soldiers behind him put their knives on the necks of the Bai family members.
Li Yuejin's face turned grim, and the faces of several family heads beside him also showed disapproval.
Among the Bai family members were the old, the weak, women, and children. According to the rules in the martial arts world, the disputes among cultivators should not involve ordinary people.
The Xie family had no bottom line!
However, this move was quite effective. The family heads who had been hesitating just now apologized to Li Yuejin one after another and walked behind Xie Zhenming.
They were all families with similar strength to the Bai family and were afraid of becoming the next Bai family!
It was better to save themselves.
Li Yuejin didn't say a word. Looking at Xie Zhenming, he said, "Aren't you, the Xie family, afraid of being laughed at by the people in the world for being so shameless?"
"Laughed at? When our Xie family becomes the city lord of Dream Sea City in the future, who will laugh at us? City Lord Li, don't you understand the principle that the victor is king and the loser is a captive?"
After saying that, Xie Zhenming looked at the head of the Bai family and tapped his whip. "Head of the Bai family, make your choice!"
The head of the Bai family's eyes were blood - red. Looking at the Bai family members behind Xie Zhenming, he tightly clenched his hands. Li Yuejin could even hear the sound of his teeth grinding.
Feeling pity in his heart, Li Yuejin patted the head of the Bai family on the shoulder. "Brother Bai, you can go over. Family is the most important thing!"
"City Lord, you're joking!" The head of the Bai family squeezed out a sentence through his teeth. He took a deep look at the Bai family members, then turned his head. "Even if I go over now, the Xie family won't let the Bai family go. Moreover, such a person without any bottom line is not worthy of the service of our Bai family."
After saying that, he looked back at the two young men behind him and whispered, "As long as there are still people in the Bai family, the family won't be extinct."
"Father."
The two teenage boys' eyes were red at this moment!
"The head of the Bai family doesn't even care about his own family. Hehe, City Lord Li is really good at bewitching people!"
The smile on Xie Zhenming's face deepened. He waved his hand. Just as it seemed that the guards' knives were about to fall.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the sea. "Cough, cough. Which bastard pushed the secret realm so far away? I'm suffocating!"
The voice was clear and pleasant, but the words spoken were not so nice!
Li Yuejin felt that the voice was strangely familiar.
The sudden change attracted everyone's attention, and even Xie Zhenming looked over.
They saw a head suddenly emerge from the distant sea level.
The cultivation levels of the people present were not low. Although they were far away, they could all see that it was a person!
However, this person was a bit strange. Appearing so far away from the shore, he seemed to be unable to swim and was moving forward with hands and feet.
The speed was not slow, and he quickly reached the shallow sea area.
"Cough, cough. Hey, why are there so many people?"
"Auntie!" When Li Yuejin saw the person coming, he was so excited that he almost cried.
God knows that during this long period of time, he wasn't afraid of the rebellion of the Xie family, nor was he afraid of losing his position as the city lord. He was only afraid that something might happen to this auntie.
Now seeing that Nan Chaoyu, although a bit embarrassed, had come back intact.
It was really a cause for celebration!
Nan Chaoyu crawled out with hands and feet. After taking a breath, she saw Li Yuejin rushing towards her excitedly. She subconsciously dodged. "Don't rush at me. I don't know which bastard pushed the secret realm so far away. God knows how I climbed out of the deep sea."
Nan Chaoyu, who grew up in the Small Snow Mountain, had a weakness, that is, she couldn't swim.
However, she could hold her breath for a very long time. But it couldn't withstand the fact that the secret realm had fallen in a deep place!
Hearing this, Li Yuejin staggered and his face changed. Could he tell this auntie that it was he who had someone push it?
However, seeing that Nan Chaoyu seemed to be just complaining casually and had no intention of investigating, he felt relieved.
The next second, he was shocked when he saw Nan Chaoyu's action.
They saw Nan Chaoyu turn her wrist, and the Mysterious Ice Sword appeared in her hand. She rushed straight towards Xie Zhenming on the horse.
"Xie Zhenming, didn't you expect that I would still come out one day!"
