Chapter 1183 - 1181: The Mysterious City Lord

The man didn’t hesitate at all and quickly nodded his head, then promptly spoke: "Absolutely true, I overheard their conversation, these people indeed came from inside the Sky Pavilion, which is why they are so arrogant."

"I’ve also heard some things about what’s happening inside the Sky Pavilion, and during this period, I’ve heard that quite a few factions are already somewhat dissatisfied with the Sky Pavilion, but there are more experts inside the Sky Pavilion, so these factions naturally dare not act recklessly!"

"But I suddenly thought of something, if none of our Sects could be a match for him, then why not unite everyone together, and then we face Sky Pavilion together? I believe under our united front, the people of Sky Pavilion would definitely not gain any advantage!"

After hearing this, Tian Bufan fell into a state of hesitation.

He was aware of the power of Sky Pavilion, if they truly make a move against the people of Sky Pavilion right now, they probably wouldn’t gain any benefits, and if they truly provoke the people inside Sky Pavilion, even if all the Sects unite together, how would it be good if the people of Sky Pavilion keep targeting them and their Tian Family?

It’s really a dilemma...

After hesitating for a long time, Tian Bufan then waved his hand towards the man and calmly said: "Alright, stop talking to me about this matter anymore. If there is indeed a faction that wants to make a move against Sky Pavilion, then I’ll naturally step up first and take the lead for you all, but we absolutely cannot be the ones to pull the strings, otherwise, if the matter spreads, it won’t be beneficial for us at all!"

"Don’t think just because there are some experts in our Family, you can act recklessly, Sky Pavilion is not as simple as you imagine, it is said that the strength of the mysterious master of Sky Pavilion is extremely terrifying, and inside Sky Pavilion, there are also several experts who never expose themselves, they are the most terrifying existence and the main pillars of Sky Pavilion!"

"And compared to those officials, our own people fall short by far..."

Due to the growth of Sky Pavilion, it has long become a target of envy for everyone, the Sects and factions nearby naturally have a certain understanding of Sky Pavilion, and even know what goes on inside, but no one dares to stand up and cause trouble for Sky Pavilion, even if they are itching to move, they dare not act rashly, lest things become more complicated!

Moreover, one wrong move could lead to complete disaster!

The man beside him was somewhat unwilling, but eventually, he still nodded his head, and was now walking out of the Great Hall, he needed to properly recuperate, and felt that almost every bone in his body was shattered, the pain was unbearable, all thanks to Wang Zhan, so even if Tian Bufan didn’t intend to help, he wouldn’t easily let go of it!

Today, it’s not just his face that’s lost, but also the face of the Tian Family. This grudge must be avenged, no matter who Wang Zhan is, he won’t let Wang Zhan off lightly, blood debt must be repaid with blood!

As Tian Bufan was sitting in the Great Hall, he didn’t waste more time, understanding that no changes would occur in the coming days, no matter how the situation progressed, he wouldn’t rashly declare war against the people of Sky Pavilion, as it would be akin to playing with fire and burning oneself!

It would bring him no benefits at all!

Tian Bufan was in a high position, naturally needing to think clearly when doing things, never rashly acting on matters detrimental to interest!

But just as Tian Bufan returned to his room, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and a man gradually appeared before him, seeing the man made his breath quicken, he clenched his fist and eagerly moved forward to embrace him, then hurriedly spoke: "I heard you have been in seclusion all this time."

"I visited several times wanting to pay a visit, but you never gave me the chance, you haven’t been to the City Lord’s Mansion these past two years, but I heard your strength has grown increasingly powerful, even reaching a transcendent level? People in Gold City have talked about you like a god, didn’t expect to meet you here today!"

The man standing before Tian Bufan was naturally the City Lord of Gold City, his strength even comparable to Wang Zhan, so when Wang Zhan appeared in Gold City, he immediately came out of seclusion, worried Wang Zhan might strike the people of Gold City, but he found it strange, Wang Zhan seemed not to intend to fight him.

He wasn’t sure if Wang Zhan sensed his presence, so he naturally wouldn’t easily reveal himself or meet Wang Zhan.

"City Lord, you’re up here for more than just reminiscing, right? If you have any matters on your side, you don’t need to be polite, just state the situation directly, anything I can handle, I’ll promptly take care of it, if there is any delay, you can take my life directly!"

Tian Bufan was very courteous to the City Lord, having long considered him a friend, hadn’t founded the Tian Family without the City Lord’s support at his side.

Thus, his relationship with the City Lord is indeed very good.

Naturally, this is well-known in Gold City, perhaps due to the City Lord, he’s been able to smoothly develop and build such a big enterprise!

The City Lord waved his hand and calmly said: "Actually, I’m not here to restore you for anything, but I’ve heard your son was beaten by people from Sky Pavilion? Now the matter has caused quite a stir, even alarming many people in Gold City, I shouldn’t be wrong, right?"

"Of course, it’s true, and indeed the fact, I was just discussing this matter with my son, now thinking about it makes me somewhat angry, why should people from Sky Pavilion interfere in our matters in Gold City? Don’t they feel their hand has been stretched a bit far?"

Tian Bufan gritted his teeth tightly, his face already very unsightly.

The City Lord sat aside, then laughed and said: "Your temper really hasn’t changed much, back when we were young, you seemed like this, thought you’d restrain with so many years gone by, but surprisingly, you’re still like this, just as easy to ignite!"

Tian Bufan shook his head and smiled, but didn’t say much.

Yet the City Lord’s words were true, back then he could indeed be considered a ferocious tiger, no matter what situation encountered, never retreating a step back, and whenever someone bullied the people of Tian Family, he’d stand up first to seek justice!

But perhaps because the Tian Family has flourished, and there are many people in the Tian Family now, Tian Bufan naturally has become more restrained in doing things, just like how he didn’t dare to intervene easily when his son was suppressed.

The reason is none other than, the people of Sky Pavilion are too powerful.

Thinking of this, he spoke again: "Alright, since you already know these matters, don’t continue talking to me, you should know my character, no matter how things develop, I won’t easily make a move against people from Sky Pavilion, in order not to bring destruction upon our entire Family."

The City Lord rolled his eyes at Tian Bufan while drinking tea, then said in annoyance: "You are quite amusing, although growing older, your courage has diminished, hardly the person I knew back then!"

"I’ve just heard your conversation; I think your son’s suggestion is quite good, although Sky Pavilion is very formidable, and no force around dares to confront them, surely you understand, everyone is eyeing Sky Pavilion, now it only takes one person to stand up, unite those opposing Sky Pavilion, when everyone teams up, do you really think Sky Pavilion won’t experience some trouble?"

Actually, the City Lord had already planned this out, and was aware of Sky Pavilion’s prowess, although Gold City doesn’t interfere in Sect matters, it doesn’t mean he’s unaware or fearless, everyone has ambition, once Wang Zhan’s ambition can’t be satisfied, he might strike Gold City, then it needs proper planning, to avoid disasters.

Tian Bufan hesitated momentarily, then frowned at the City Lord, quickly inquiring: "According to your words, you want me to be the initiator? Unite everyone, then make a move against the people of Sky Pavilion?"

"But doing so would make our Tian Family the target. If we manage to deal with Sky Pavilion, that’s fine, but if we can’t annihilate them, Sky Pavilion will surely retaliate against us, and the first family to suffer revenge would naturally be ours!"

Compared to those Sects, the Tian Family is still too weak.
