David smiled faintly.
“You’re not planning to give it to me?” Bai Yi was shocked!
“Of course, I was just buying time to find a chance to save Niu Ben, without giving Flying Tiger City a penny.”
David said!
“Brother, we’ve passed through so many towns and checkpoints along the way. Looks like it will be very difficult to save Niu Ben.”
Mad Immortal frowned slightly.
“There’s always a solution; we still have time to find out!”
David said optimistically!
At that time, the people arranged by Jie Zhong came to take David and the others to rest. For the next three days, David and the others could only move around the city lord’s mansion in Flying Tiger City.
After David and the others rested, Jie Zhong looked towards the mountains to the west and slowly disappeared!
When Jie Zhong appeared, he had already arrived at the small town on top of the mountain!
In this small town, there was a group of cultivators wearing red clothes, but none of them bowed to Jie Zhong when they saw him, which Jie Zhong thought was not surprising.
Then Jie Zhong arrived at a renovated luxury house, where a masked man was sitting. The man’s expression was not good. After looking at Jie Zhong, he asked in a cold voice, “Are there any results?”
“My lord, the results are out. Rhino City has agreed to one million immortal coins, a hundred years of resources, and treasures.”
Jie Zhong said happily!
“Oh?” The man was clearly shocked. “They just agreed?”
“Yes, they agreed immediately, and everything will be ready in three days!”
“I’ll explain!” Jie Ting said.
“I feel like agreeing too quickly isn’t a good thing. You can’t be careless at all during these three days,” said the man.
“I understand!” Jie nodded.
The man waved his hand, then turned and left!
After Jie Chong left, the man coughed violently a few times, and the black cloth covering his face fell off.
If David were here now, he would definitely recognize the man in front of him.
This man was none other than Huo Zhao, Lord of the Eighth Temple.
At that time, Huo Zhao’s soul was summoned by Huo Zhenfeng, the head of the Huo family, with a talisman. As a result, he fought with David for a long time. David possessed the Red Cloud Demon King and beat Huo Zhao black and blue. In the end, Huo Zhao ran away!
Huo Zhao, who had run back, was in a weak state and needed a lot of resources to recover his body.
So Huo Zhao led the people of the Eight Palaces to occupy Flying Tiger City. Now, the lord of Flying Tiger City, Jie Zhong, was nothing more than a figurehead.
The idea of asking for so many immortal coins and resources from Rhino City was Huo Zhao’s idea.
David guessed correctly; the person who truly held power was indeed not in the Flying Tiger City Lord’s Residence!
