Chapter 1322

In the eyes of most people, the most powerful force in a large city was the city's army, and the only force that could fight against the city's army was Hunter's Castle.

However, when one reached a certain level, they would learn some secrets.

Not only did the city's army and Hunter's Castle not have a hostile relationship, but their fates were also closely intertwined.

The city's army represented the official power and the entire Manor. This kind of official power was not allowed to participate in internal conflicts or private fights. This rule was applicable anywhere in the Zhanwu Continent.

However, Hunter's Castle was different. Although they were also under unified management, there was competition and killing in between.

For example, the ranking of the 653 Hunter's Castle only represented Hunter's Castle, but it also represented Huping City's ranking.

Therefore, in every city, the fate of Hunter's Castle was closely related to the fate of the city. Because the city's army had many rules, sometimes Hunter's Castle's power was even greater than the city's army.

For example, in the current situation, if the two large cities went to war because of this, the main force of the battle would be Hunter's Castle. The city's army would not participate in the battle, but of course, the Castellan could.

Lord Wu's unyielding attitude not only represented Hunter's Castle, but also the Huping City's Castellan.

Therefore, Yan Ming chose to back down and say that this was a misunderstanding.

The battle had stopped. Yanbo Castle's Reality realm experts had suffered heavy losses, but there were still some powerful existences among them, which prevented them from being completely wiped out in a short period of time.

Ling Dong and the others quickly ran over. There was no fear on the faces of the lucky survivors, only anger.

Zi Chen and the others followed behind, their killing intent still rising.

Yan Ming looked at Zi Chen, and the latter stared back at Yan Ming.

The first time Yan Ming had seen Zi Chen, he had felt that Zi Chen was a somewhat scheming person who was overly cautious and low-key. However, the Zi Chen in front of him was a brilliant and dazzling existence.

It had to be said that he had misjudged, just like Chuan Xing.

This directly led to the failure of the entire plan, and he had to pay the price for it.

"Where's Chuan Xing?" Both sides looked at each other. Yan Ming did not overwhelm Zi Chen with his aura and asked indifferently.

Zi Chen threw out an object. Everyone exclaimed when they saw it. It was a head, and it belonged to Chuan Xing.

"He schemed against us and died," Zi Chen replied indifferently.

"You actually killed him." Yan Ming seemed to be somewhat surprised. The expressions of Ling Dong and the others changed greatly, and the anger on their faces grew even stronger.

"If he didn't die, we would die," Zi Chen said coldly.

Yan Ming discreetly glanced at Shangguan Mingxing, who happened to be looking at Yan Ming as well. He said indifferently, "You must give me an explanation for scheming against my daughter. I cannot represent Huping City, nor can I represent Hunter's Castle. I can only represent my daughter and seek justice for her. If this matter does not satisfy me, I guarantee that you will not return to Yanbo Castle alive."

This time, not only did the Corporeal realm experts' expressions change, but even the Domain realm experts from Yanbo Castle changed. Of course, their anger was greater than their fear.

"Please do not doubt a father's attitude towards his daughter, so please do not doubt the credibility of my words." Shangguan Mingxing calmly looked at the Domain realm experts who were suppressing their anger.

Shangguan Mingxing's calmness made Yan Ming feel a chill. He did not doubt that Shangguan Mingxing would fight them to the death. Moreover, this was Huping City. Although Huping City's overall strength was much weaker than Yanbo Castle's, it would not be a problem for Huping City to kill them.

The anger on his face gradually dissipated, and he said indifferently, "Since I said that it was a misunderstanding, I will naturally resolve it. This time, I can declare that Chuan Xing's actions were personal and have nothing to do with Yanbo Castle."

"Alright, let's return to Hunter's Castle first," Lord Wu said indifferently.

Everyone turned around and returned. Ling Dong and the others left quickly, afraid that Zi Chen's group would go crazy and kill again.

Everyone left one after another, and the five main characters were now ignored. Of course, the many admiring gazes around them did not count.

"Shangguan Hong, I didn't expect your father to be so domineering," Man Shi praised as everyone left.

"Of course, he is my father. He has never let me suffer a loss since I was young." Shangguan Hong smiled proudly.

Man Shi scratched his head and said enviously, "Sigh, it's a pity that I don't have a father. Otherwise, I would be able to experience it."

Wu Xie patted Man Shi's shoulder sympathetically and said, "You don't have a father? That's really pitiful. You will never experience this kind of kinship."

Man Shi stared at Wu Xie and said unhappily, "You are comforting me."

"Of course not, I am mocking you."

"You are courting death."

Man Shi's other shoulder was patted again. This time it was Zi Chen. He smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, I don't have a father or a mother either."

Man Shi let out a strange cry and said, "Could it be that you are the same as me, a stone spirit transformed from a rock?"

Zi Chen's mouth twitched and said, "I am a human, just an orphan."

Man Shi nodded and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Then you are more miserable than me. You were born without a mother."

"..."

Zi Chen's expression froze. It seemed that he had come to comfort Man Shi. Why did he suffer such a heavy blow?

What happened next had nothing to do with them. As for how to resolve the misunderstanding, it was up to the two sides to slowly discuss.

In fact, Zi Chen could already guess the details. It was nothing more than some compensation for cultivation resources.

This was the most common and indispensable thing in the entire Zhan Wu Continent.

Just as the two sides were resolving the misunderstanding in Hunter's Castle, the two realms who had stopped Shangguan Mingxing had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The two had already stood outside the City Lord's Mansion for two days and two nights. When the servants passing by saw them, they all had strange expressions on their faces.

The City Lord had summoned them, but he did not see them.

It was not until the third day that an indifferent voice sounded, "Do you know your wrongs?"

"We know our wrongs." The two answered in unison.

"You don't know your wrongs."

A cold laugh sounded from within the mansion. "In your eyes, Huping City is just a place for you to stay. There is no question of ownership. Therefore, you only see benefits. You are not wrong about this, so you will not admit your wrongs. However, I am different. I am the City Lord of Huping City. This is my home, and I want to make my home better."

"Zi Chen and the others are extraordinarily talented and can be considered children with potential in the family. It is normal for people like them to be envied and schemed against. After all, geniuses also need to grow in competition."

"However …" The City Lord's voice suddenly turned cold. "I will never allow my own family to attack their own."

The two realms lowered their heads.

"Let's forget about this matter. Withdraw all members of the Zhou family from the city army. If this happens again, the Zhou family will no longer exist in Huping City."

"Yes." Cold sweat dripped from the two realms' foreheads.

"Scram."

… …

… …

Lord Wu's attitude was the same as the City Lord's.

In the meeting room, the realms from both sides sat in two rows. Lord Wu sat at the head of the table.

Both sides had ugly expressions. Lord Wu said directly, "The five of them are the future of Huping City. I need an explanation for this matter."

"Misunderstanding. This is a misunderstanding," Yan Ming said again.

"Zi Chen and the others worked together to kill the foreign invaders. This is a great contribution to the entire Zhanwu Continent. During this time, several seniors were willing to die. They died with a clear conscience and died heroically. They did not hesitate to die to kill the foreign invaders. However, what did you do? You wanted to kill these five kids. You wanted to kill them for daring to attack the foreign invaders."

Lord Wu stared at them and said coldly, "I don't know if this is a spontaneous decision or if your intentions and goals were never pure."

"I am sure that we did not know about this matter. Chuan Xing's actions only represent himself. It has nothing to do with Yanbo Castle," Yan Ming explained.

"Even if this is the case, you cannot escape responsibility," Ling Xing said.

"Of course. That is why I am trying to resolve the misunderstanding between us with the greatest sincerity."

"Where does your sincerity come from?" Ling Xing asked Yan Ming.

"Sincerity comes from resources. You can just name a number," Yan Ming said with a faint smile.

Ling Xing's expression was somewhat sorrowful. He said, "You said that resources are a number. Do you think we lack numbers? The number of resources we have spent since the five of them grew up is astronomical."

"Then what do you want?" Yan Ming asked.

"We don't want anything. In fact, we hope that what happened in the past never happened. We would rather it be like when you first arrived. I hope to see you speak righteously, to see you search for the foreign invaders …"

Yan Ming, who was not good at negotiations, could not help but frown as he listened to Ling Xing's endless chatter. He said, "Use the tokens to show your sincerity."

"What tokens?" Ling Xing suddenly asked with a pained expression.

"We are willing to take five more tokens from the Manor Realm," Yan Ming said.

Ling Xing shook his head and said, "Yanbo Castle is vast, and there are many geniuses. Leave these tokens to your geniuses. I really want to see them. The first time I see them …"

"Ten tokens," Yan Ming said.

"I hope that you can speak righteously and stand on the side of justice …"

"Twenty tokens."

Ling Xing looked at Yan Ming and was about to say something again.

"Thirty tokens. This is the greatest sincerity I can show to resolve this misunderstanding," Yan Ming shouted.

"Plus another five thousand realm fragments." Ling Xing was delighted to hear this as well.

"Five thousand? Why don't you go rob a bank?" A nearby Domain Realm expert could not help but say.

"I want to go as well, but I don't know who is willing to be robbed by me," Ling Xing said with a cold smile.

"Deal." Yan Ming stood up and said.

After the discussion, it was obvious that the people of Yanbo Castle were sincere. Ling Xing was very satisfied, but he was not very happy.
