#5050 - Must deny
"The conditions I'm offering are easy for you to fulfill."
Su Chen nodded, prepared to agree if the conditions weren't excessive.
He wanted to become a guest elder of the City Lord's府 first.
With this status, he could deter the various families, which would definitely be beneficial for him.
"First, I hope you will cripple your own cultivation."
Upon hearing this.
Before Su Chen could speak, Duanmu Qin looked at her father with disbelief and said, "Father, are you mistaken?"
Cripple his cultivation?
Once Su Chen crippled his cultivation, he would become a useless person, so what would be the point of joining the City Lord's府?
She really couldn't understand why her father would do this.
Duanmu Qin hurriedly went to Duanmu Yuan and said anxiously, "Father, what's going on? Su Chen will definitely not agree to this."
Her father hadn't said this earlier.
Her father had clearly agreed to let Su Chen smoothly become a guest elder of the City Lord's府, but now he was saying this, clearly intending to deal with Su Chen.
Wang Yidao?
It could only be Wang Yidao.
Duanmu Qin wasn't stupid and instantly understood her father's meaning.
"Father, you want the Imperial Butterfly Blood from Wang Yidao's hands, don't you?"
He neither denied nor admitted it.
But Duanmu Qin could see the expression on her father's face, and it seemed her guess was indeed correct.
"Third, you disregarded the rules of Hundred Reverence City and unilaterally destroyed the Wang family. You need to be suppressed in the Wang family and guard them forever."
After listening to the three conditions proposed by Duanmu Yuan, Su Chen understood what was happening.
It seemed Duanmu Yuan wanted to obtain the Imperial Butterfly Blood and was taking action against him.
"City Lord, why not speak frankly?"
"Su Chen, I am the City Lord of Hundred Reverence City and must uphold the city's rules. I warned you before not to casually attack the Wang family, but you insisted on disobeying. Since you dared to do it, I can only deal with you according to the city's rules."
"Father."
"Silence!"
Duanmu Yuan said coldly, "This matter concerns the reputation of the City Lord's府. If I don't investigate, how can I answer to Hundred Reverence City? Now all the families are extremely dissatisfied. Do you want to harm the City Lord's府?"
Duanmu Qin shook her head and said, "Father, one should be honest. You promised me to let Su Chen become a guest elder, not to deal with him."
Her father was definitely doing this for the Imperial Butterfly Blood.
He was just using the city's rules as an excuse. Duanmu Qin felt very guilty and would absolutely not allow her father to do this.
"You leave first."
"Father, I won't leave."
"I'm telling you to leave."
She took a few steps back, came to Su Chen, and held a sharp blade to her neck, her face determined, "Father, if you want to deal with Su Chen, then deal with me first."
"Nonsense!"
"Father, let him go, or I'll die here."
Duanmu Qin was definitely not joking, because she knew very well that even if Su Chen could kill Wang Jian, it was only by relying on the formation.
For a formation master, it was impossible to set up a formation instantly, so in Duanmu Qin's opinion, as long as a battle started, Su Chen would definitely be no match for her father, especially since all the elders were gathered here.
His eyes were very serious, and Su Chen didn't speak. He didn't expect that for a drop of Imperial Butterfly Blood, the City Lord would personally take action.
"Father, it's just a drop of Imperial Butterfly Blood."
"I already said, I'm not doing this for the Imperial Butterfly Blood, I'm just upholding the city's rules."
Duanmu Yuan didn't admit it, and wouldn't admit it. He definitely wanted the Imperial Butterfly Blood and the Emperor Bone Whip, but as the City Lord of Hundred Reverence City, how could he admit that he was taking action against Su Chen for those things?
Just then.
Wang Yidao walked in from outside, smiling and saying, "Su Chen, I'm really curious, even if you use a formation, you couldn't have killed my elder brother. Your strength is not enough to do that."
Seeing Wang Yidao, Duanmu Qin once again confirmed her guess and said helplessly, "Father, turn back while you still can. As long as you kill Wang Yidao, the Imperial Butterfly Blood will still belong to our City Lord's府. Why bother taking action against Su Chen?"
This was something Duanmu Qin couldn't understand, because she knew her father's strength very well, and with the combined efforts of so many elders, suppressing Wang Yidao was completely easy.
Patting Duanmu Qin on the shoulder, Su Chen didn't have the slightest fear, and instead said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason the City Lord is taking action against me is not just for the Imperial Butterfly Blood."
"Haha, that's right, I indeed offered more than just the Imperial Butterfly Blood. There's also the Emperor Bone Whip in my hand, forged from the femur bones of thousands of Great Emperor experts. If the City Lord can obtain the Imperial Butterfly Blood and the Emperor Bone Whip, he can even kill a Half-Step Great Emperor."
Looking at the long whip in Wang Yidao's hand, Su Chen's eyes lit up. He knew very well what the forging of thousands of Great Emperor experts' femur bones meant. No wonder Duanmu Yuan couldn't resist such temptation.
A drop of Imperial Butterfly Blood, plus an Emperor Bone Whip, and even the ability to kill a Half-Step Great Emperor. Furthermore, when Duanmu Yuan breaks through to the Half-Step Great Emperor realm, or even the true Great Emperor realm, the Emperor Bone Whip will indeed be of great use to Duanmu Yuan.
"Father, our City Lord's府 can completely suppress Wang Yidao, why betray Su Chen?"
Su Chen said with a smile, "Because the City Lord's府 can't guarantee a 100% suppression. If I'm not mistaken, the Emperor Bone Whip in Wang Yidao's hands can threaten the City Lord's life."
He believed his guess was absolutely correct.
If he could do it, he believed Duanmu Yuan would definitely take action to suppress Wang Yidao at the first opportunity, not only to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, but also to seize the Imperial Butterfly Blood and the Emperor Bone Whip.
But what happened?
Duanmu Yuan not only didn't suppress Wang Yidao, but even helped Wang Yidao to deal with him. The only explanation was that the Emperor Bone Whip in Wang Yidao's hands was not simple, making Duanmu Yuan afraid to take action casually.
Duanmu Yuan didn't admit it. Although he indeed thought so and did so, some things couldn't be said, after all, his status was there.
"City Lord, I want to borrow your City Lord's府. I want to kill him with my own hands to avenge my family."
"Father."
"Come here."
Duanmu Yuan's figure disappeared instantly. Before Duanmu Qin could take action against him, she was forcibly restricted and retreated, saying, "Su Chen, you have to accept your fate."
"City Lord, you will probably regret doing this."
"Really? I don't quite believe it, but if you can agree to all three conditions I proposed earlier, I can spare your life on his behalf. Whether you live or die, you make your own choice. Relying on Duanmu Qin, you can forget about it."
