Chapter 1133 - 1131: Evil Repaid with Evil

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Ten Thousand Sword City’s city master immediately lit up. He only wanted to leave Ten Thousand Sword City as quickly as possible, so he could not let go of any hope.

Wang Zhan just nodded in response and said in a calm voice, "I am a person of my word, which is why I have so many good friends around me. You can probably see that everyone seems to follow my lead, and that is the charm of my personality."

"Alright, I don’t want to waste any more words with you. Go and use your silver tongue to persuade everyone to speak on your behalf. What do you think?"

The city master of Ten Thousand Sword City quickly turned his gaze to everyone, not daring to hesitate for a moment, just wanting to quickly escape the current predicament. His eyes fell on the people of Ten Thousand Sword City, and he said, "I think everyone should have heard his words. My life is now in your hands. I hope you all will stand up and help. Don’t forget, we were all once part of Ten Thousand Sword City!"

"If it weren’t for me being in Ten Thousand Sword City, how could you have such a comfortable life? And how could those demonic beasts let you go so easily? So, all of this is caused by me. Last time, I didn’t mean to abandon you. Even if I stayed, I wouldn’t be a match for them, and the end result would be that all of you would be taken down by those beasts and demonic beasts..."

"But after I left, your situation got much better, didn’t it?"

"After all, Wang Zhan and the others are kindhearted, so they wouldn’t stand by and watch you fall into danger. They would certainly stand up for you and help resolve the crisis you face!"

"Now it looks like everything is exactly as I thought, so you should thank me."

Everyone looked at each other but no one spoke, their faces all turning grim.

Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile on his lips. The city master of Ten Thousand Sword City was really amusing, handing out a good-person card even now, though it had no effect on Wang Zhan and the others.

What’s more, Wang Zhan had already resolved not to let the city master of Ten Thousand Sword City leave easily, no matter how things developed.

After exchanging glances, everyone began to discuss amongst themselves.

"You are not fit to be our city master. Previously you stayed in Ten Thousand Sword City only to find shelter, and over the years, you left everything to the protectors to handle. You never cared about Ten Thousand Sword City’s affairs, all you thought about was how to increase your power!"

"Yes, how do you even have the face to talk big in front of us?"

"Mr. Wang, don’t hesitate anymore. We won’t regard him any longer. Even if he dies here, it has nothing to do with us. We just want to see him die here and pay a painful price for his actions!"

"..."

To Wang Zhan’s great surprise, the people of Ten Thousand Sword City were so united, and their attitudes so consistent.

Even if the city master of Ten Thousand Sword City was such a villainous character, he should have a few real friends by his side.

But much to Wang Zhan’s astonishment, after staying in Ten Thousand Sword City for so many years, not one person stood up to speak for him, not due to them but likely because of the dislike caused by the city master’s actions, leading to their current attitude.

It was his own doing, after all, as anyone’s position is due to their own actions, and the city master must be no different.

After exchanging glances, everyone nodded along.

They were all waiting for Wang Zhan to take action.

At this moment, the city master of Ten Thousand Sword City was utterly in despair. After a cold glare at everyone present, he spoke slowly and deliberately, "You damn bastards, I never thought I’d find so many ingrates among you. You damned fools, you all deserve to die!"

"I believe Wang Zhan won’t stay here long. When the time comes, you useless losers will have to save yourselves, but I doubt you have the ability. You’ll soon enough die here forever!"

"Treat this place as your graveyard!"

After speaking, the city master of Ten Thousand Sword City no longer bothered with everyone present, knowing that there was no use in speaking further since they wouldn’t stand by his side. Instead, he thought of pleading more with Wang Zhan for a breakthrough.

The city master’s gaze shifted back to Wang Zhan, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, I know your power is remarkable, and you are loyal to those around you. If you don’t kill me this time, I am willing to stay by your side, unconditionally following your orders. Even if you ask me to walk through the Sea of Fire or climb a mountain of swords, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second. How about it?"

Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, walked up to the city master, patted him on the shoulder, and said gently, "Enough with the useless banter. I never intended to let you go. I only let everyone speak to see your rapport, and to my shock, after all these years in Ten Thousand Sword City, they already hate you."

"So, can you tell me, how did you manage to become so unpopular?"

The city master, wide-eyed with rage, never expected Wang Zhan to calculate his every move and speak so plainly, treating him with such contempt!

With clenched fists, his breathing grew labored as he glared coldly at Wang Zhan before speaking slowly, "I thought you were an upright gentleman, but you turned out a despicable scoundrel. Now you collude with everyone just to deal with me?"

"But don’t be proud of yourself, brat. If it hadn’t been for the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s presence, do you think I’d fear you?"

"Even if I walk the Netherworld path, I will wait for you there. Even if I’m no match for the Hexagonal Golden Snake, I can still easily take you down. Below the Netherworld path, I’ll make you pay a painful price!"

Wang Zhan simply ignored his words, turning his attention to the Hexagonal Golden Snake instead, and said directly, "Since this guy refuses to see sense, let’s not argue further. We have many other matters to handle; let’s just kill him outright."

The Hexagonal Golden Snake, without hesitation, moved right in front of the city master of Ten Thousand Sword City. Before the latter could react, he felt a powerful force pierce through him, unable to move at all.

The gap between him and the Hexagonal Golden Snake was massive, a difference like night and day.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake chuckled hoarsely, watching the city master fall. Dusting off his hands, he said to himself, "He’s just a useless fool. Even if you acted, you could settle him instantly. No need for such hassle."

Earlier, Wang Zhan indeed thought of acting, upset by the city master’s presence, but the barrier setup by the Hexagonal Golden Snake deterred him from acting lightly, which could cause issues.

Therefore, Wang Zhan remained quietly in place to avoid complicating matters more.

In a moment, Wang Zhan moved to the city master’s corpse, gesturing to the crowd, declaring, "Everyone, this guy is dead, so you don’t have to worry. For any future issues, come to me for resolution. We are one now, so there’s no need for formalities."

"But please, no double-dealing; no playing nice up front while scheming in the background."

Everyone nodded, having seen Wang Zhan’s strength, they dared not provoke him easily.

They understood Wang Zhan’s terrifying power and were no match for him. Wasting time here would only bring trouble, so they wisely refrained from angering him.

Soon after, the crowd dispersed, while Wang Zhan led his group towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Indeed, this incident concluded satisfactorily.
