Chapter 2219: Chapter 2215: Faces Are Known, but Not Hearts

This time, he always felt that things weren’t so simple. Based on his understanding of the old demon of West Desolation, there must be some conspiracy behind this.

With the words of the Master of the Medical Hall, those neutral faction people immediately expressed their stance.

The old demon of West Desolation smiled cheerfully from his seat, not speaking, just watching Wang Buqun’s face turn increasingly unsightly.

"Enough, Zhan, I know what you’re thinking, but dealing with the Demon Abyss Demon is a big matter. If you dare backstab me here, I swear I’ll chop off your head."

With a flash of cold light, Wang Buqun leaped directly onto the table of the conference room.

Everyone in the room had their eyes tightly fixed.

But the Master of the Medical Hall, Zhan Pengfei, was not afraid at all. He stood up, sneering: "Alright, then you can chop off my head first and then theirs. I’ll put it this way today: there will be no more free elixir for the garrison soldiers in the future. If you want to buy elixirs from the medical hall, it’ll cost double."

"You."

Wang Buqun raised his knife, but ultimately it didn’t fall.

Zhan Pengfei has immense talent in Elixir Cultivation and is also one of the oldest members of West Desolation City.

Many believe he’s actually connected to the Tower Master of the West Desolate Tower, after all, the two individuals have never changed their status over the years in West Desolation City.

However, one remains indifferent to worldly affairs, only standing out during demonic invasions. The other leads the neutral faction and never participates in the power struggles between the City Lord and the Commander.

Yet, whenever the City Lord and the garrison Commander set their sights on him, he would fiercely counter them.

The origin of it all is that Zhan Pengfei almost single handedly supports the entire medical hall of West Desolation City. All the elixirs in the hall are made by Zhan Pengfei alone.

Others, even if they can craft elixirs, cannot produce his quantity and quality.

Forget about Wang Buqun, even the Tower Master of West Desolate Tower wouldn’t dare play hard against Zhan Pengfei. Once Zhan Pengfei truly falls, only chaos awaits West Desolation City.

"Cough, cough, Old Zhan, let it go. The Commander spoke out of a moment’s anger. I think, Wang Commander, what Old Zhan said is right. No matter if you’ve gathered all our people, it’s better to instead train your soldiers well. After all, a disordered army on the battlefield can’t be called an army."

The garrison adviser who had remained silent all this time stood up and pulled Wang Buqun down.

Everyone in the hall knew that although Wang Buqun might be strong, the one in charge on the garrison side was this Advisor Guo.

Wang Buqun snorted as he sat back down. The old demon of West Desolation nodded, knowing the matters had been addressed sufficiently.

"Hahaha, Advisor Guo made some solid points. The army indeed requires proper training. Since we’ve gathered all together, those demon hunting teams shouldn’t be pulled in. After all, those teams are uneven and would only be dead weight."

The old demon of West Desolation fired a parting shot, but Wang Buqun and Zhan Pengfei didn’t show him a good face. They both knew this was the old demon’s provocation.

Seeing the old demon signaling, the silent Skeleton Elder stood up: "Everyone, Tower Master, City Lord, Commander Master, Master Master, Advisor Guo, there’s something I must report to you all."

When Skeleton Elder began speaking, many eyes fell on the old demon of West Desolation. They all knew the main business of this meeting was at hand, and the old demon often played these tricks in West Desolation.

"Hmm, go ahead."

The old demon of West Desolation nodded, glancing at Wang Buqun with a subtle smile.

"I received news this morning that the fox demons of Fox Spirit Mountain have colluded with the Demon Abyss Demons. Those of you recently arriving might not know. The Clan Leader of the Demon Fox Clan, Hu Jiusheng, his wife was an inside agent when the Demon Abyss Demons attacked West Continent City."

Skeleton Elder’s words immediately caused an uproar in the conference hall.

The silent Tower Master of West Desolate Tower raised his eyebrows: "Skeleton, where did you hear about this? Hu Jiusheng fought alongside me years back, I can’t believe he would collude with demons."

"Tower Master, knowing a face doesn’t mean knowing the heart. Hu Jiusheng betrayed West Continent City years ago and was sealed by Tang Mosheng for many years, now released by his daughter and son-in-law. As far as I know, his son-in-law is the demon from the Demon Abyss infiltrating Taoyuan World, now trying to impersonate Tang Mosheng’s son to instigate chaos. Once those old allies of West Continent City are swayed, it would harm our control over West Desolation City greatly."

Skeleton Elder seemed prepared for questioning and directly voiced what was previously discussed with the old demon of West Desolation.

Indeed, many people fell silent. Especially Advisor Guo, who took a deep look at Skeleton Elder.

The old demon of West Desolation slapped the table: "Outrageous, what do those fox demons intend to do? Aren’t they aware of the tremendous threat the Demon Abyss Demons’ invasion poses to Taoyuan World? Wang Commander, in my capacity as City Lord of West Desolation City, I order you to attack Fox Spirit Mountain, have them surrender the infiltrator sent by Demon Abyss. If they are willing to hand over that spy, I’m still inclined to pardon Fox Spirit Mountain."

"Skeleton, are you certain that person is a spy from the Demon Clan?"

Zhan Pengfei raised his eyebrows.

Skeleton Elder chuckled before speaking: "I’ll point something out, and everyone will see clearly. The former City Lord Tang Mosheng was an admirable person, often accompanied by his old steward, his subordinates, a wife, and a daughter. Correct?"

Several people nodded, including the Tower Master of West Desolate Tower.

Skeleton Elder’s dried face was filled with rage: "But now, that spy from the Demon Clan claims to be Tang Mosheng’s son."

"Outrageous. On this matter, I support the City Lord."

Zhan Pengfei nodded. Indeed, as Skeleton Elder said, in the past, Tang Mosheng only had a daughter.

With Zhan Pengfei speaking out, the matter was basically settled. After all, both the City Lord Faction and the Neutral Faction accepted. Even if Advisor Guo and Wang Buqun realized that the City Lord was using them as a weapon against Fox Spirit Mountain, they could only swallow this pill.

"Old Guo, what do we do? I’ve fallen into the City Lord’s trap again. Do we attack Fox Spirit Mountain or not?"

After leaving the conference room, Wang Buqun pulled Advisor Guo straight to his residence.
