Chapter 4188

Zi Chen's fist glowed with pure black light, looking exactly like demonic energy.

In fact, this was demonic energy, and it was the demonic energy of a demon sovereign.

In the demonic realm, those who possessed pure demonic energy were all nobles.

They were born to be superior to others.

At this moment, Zi Chen's attack was as smooth as flowing water, like a true demon.

The city lord's expression changed. "Misunderstanding, milord, this is a misunderstanding!" he shouted.

Huai Dou's face also paled. He had never expected this stranger to be a demon.

He did not have the characteristics of a demon, but rather the characteristics of a spirit.

Zi Chen withdrew his fist, then gently clapped his hands. "Now you're willing to be reasonable?"

"Milord, this is a misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding." The city lord's face was covered in cold sweat.

"You came here to tear down someone's home, is that also a misunderstanding?" Zi Chen said calmly.

"We'll compensate, we'll definitely compensate," the city lord promised again and again.

Zi Chen continued, "But why do I feel like you're just using the spirit race as an excuse to do this for the young lady of the Lian Clan?

Also, aren't you being too careless? You don't even distinguish between a demon and a spirit race, and you're in such a hurry to frame her? "

The city lord immediately turned around and slapped Huai Dou several times. The sound was loud and clear, causing blood to seep out of the young city lord's mouth. A few of his teeth also fell out, but he did not dare spit them out.

This was a matter of life and death, so the city lord did not hold back. "Bastard," he scolded. "You're so ignorant and incompetent, what use do I have for you?!"

Then the city lord turned to Zi Chen and clasped his hands. "Milord, I hope you'll spare my life on account of the fact that I'm a snake demon."

Zi Chen laughed. "See, this is what it means to be arrogant. What's that little trick of yours?

But since you've worked hard for the demon race, I'll spare your dog life today.

Of all things to learn, you tried to threaten and frame, but you've only scratched the surface. You're really a piece of trash.

Speaking of which, Demon Snake was really blind to have recruited someone like you. "

Huai Dou lowered his head and did not say a word. He knew very well in his heart that at this moment, as long as he said another word, he might die.

"My time is limited, and I don't feel like arguing with you here. Now, I'm ordering you to do as I say." Zi Chen looked at the city lord.

"Your Excellency, please give me your orders!" The City Lord cupped his hands and said.

"Everything destroyed will be compensated at three times the original price."

"Yes!"

"From now on, you're not allowed to cause trouble for the Lian family."

"Yes!"

"Now, immediately, apologize!"

The City Lord turned around and bowed deeply to Lian Lijue. "Brother Lian, I don't mind disciplining him, I hope Brother Lian can be magnanimous."

Seeing that Huai Dou did not react, the City Lord immediately kicked him. "Idiot, this is all your fault. Why aren't you apologizing?"

"I hope Patriarch can forgive me." Huai Dou cupped his fists and apologized.

Lian Lijue was at a loss.

"Fine, fine, fine. Both of you, get the hell out of here."

The two of them stepped aside, and Zi Chen walked forward. Looking at Lian Lijue, he said, "This is a misunderstanding. I hope Patriarch won't take offense. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay. I hope Patriarch can apologize to the young lady on my behalf."

"Your Excellency, you're making a fool of yourself."

With the City Lord present, Lian Lijue couldn't say any more words of gratitude. He simply bowed to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's body disappeared.

After Zi Chen left, the City Lord stood. "Brother Lian," he said, "I hope Brother Lian can find someone to tally up all the damaged buildings and send them to the City Lord's mansion. We'll pay three times the original price as compensation."

"What are you talking about, City Lord? No discord, no concord. Forget about the compensation. It's not like it's worth anything."

Lian Lijue looked back at the steward, who quickly returned to the room and produced a jade box. "Just a small token of appreciation. I hope Patriarch can accept it."

"No! Absolutely not!"

The City Lord hurriedly refused. "If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

The City Lord grabbed Huai Dou and led him out of the ruined courtyard.

The others followed suit.

Just like that, a disaster was averted. Everyone in the Lian Clan felt as if they had just survived a calamity.

Only Lian Lijue was still deeply worried.

"Early tomorrow morning," he ordered, "go and deliver the items to the City Lord's mansion."

"Yes, Master."

The steward nodded and put away the jade box.

The woman returned, clearly intending to tell her daughter the good news.

The steward and Lian Lijue returned to the room. Seeing the worried frown on his face, the steward asked, "The disaster has been averted. Why is Master so worried instead of happy?"

"The disaster is gone, but that Lord Zi Chen has already left. Who can guarantee that the City Lord's mansion won't hold a grudge against our Lian Clan in the future?"

Lian Lijue sighed. "If they want to destroy our Lian Clan, they'll have plenty of reasons to do so."

"Probably not," said the steward.

"That lord is definitely an important figure in the demon race. With his word, would the City Lord's mansion dare to act rashly?"

Lian Lijue said helplessly, "You said it yourself. He's a big shot. For such a big shot to appear in our place is a coincidence. Once he leaves, he might never return, much less remember us. When the time comes, even if something happens to the Lian Clan, he won't know."

"That's true, but I think the City Lord's mansion will have some misgivings."

"We'll just have to wait and see. Tomorrow, deliver the items and prepare a generous gift. While we're at it, we'll see."

*****

On the way back, the City Lord didn't say a word. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare.

Huai Dou was also very cautious. He obediently followed behind the City Lord.

However, he was in a very bad mood. He had lost a great deal of face, and might even become the laughingstock of the Demon Snake Tribe.

He couldn't swallow this insult.

After returning to the mansion, Huai Dou wanted to say something, but the City Lord angrily scolded him, "You're not allowed to speak for three days, or I'll break your mouth!"

Huai Dou angrily walked to his room. Not being able to speak did not mean that he couldn't do anything. Therefore, the new beauties he found became the targets for him to vent his remaining energy.

The City Lord sat in his room, motionless. When it was late at night, he suddenly said, "Go investigate."

An undetectable shadow disappeared.

The next day, the steward came, but he didn't see the City Lord. He only saw the Chief Steward of the City Lord's mansion. The Chief Steward left behind all the items, but didn't manage to find out anything.

The City Lord looked at the items brought by the Chief Steward and sneered, "This Lian Clan really knows how to do things, but it's too late."

Three days passed, but Huai Dou still couldn't swallow his anger. He felt that these women were not as good as Lian Qing.

After three days, he went to find his father.

The City Lord said, "I've secretly investigated. That lord has indeed left."

There was a murderous look in Huai Dou's eyes, "If that's the case, then we can't let the Lian Clan go."

The City Lord said, "What if that lord comes back?"

"I'm not afraid. I wasn't prepared before, but as long as we're fully prepared this time, we won't be afraid of him."

Huai Dou said, "I'm Demon Snake. My goal is to find the remnants of the Ling Clan. As long as there's one of them in the Lian Clan, it'll be enough.

The Lian Clan is full of Ling Clan members, so it won't be difficult to find one.

As long as the Lian Clan is destroyed, I'll report it to Demon Snake as a merit. As long as Demon Snake acknowledges and rewards me, even if that lord finds out and comes looking for trouble, Demon Snake will take care of it. "

The City Lord said, "Good plan, but let's wait, just in case."

"Then we'll wait for two more days."

Huai Dou returned to his room and didn't leave for two days.

On the sixth day, the City Lord mobilized all the troops in the city to attack the Lian Clan.

This time, there was no need for evidence, just killing!
