Chapter 403: Biluo City Lord
"shut up!"
The Lord of Biluo City opened his eyes wide and glared at Master Ming fiercely, his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.
He was both angry and helpless towards his nephew. This kid had always been arrogant and domineering at home, and was simply lawless.
Unexpectedly, now that he has arrived in his Biluo City, he is still as stubborn as ever and shows no intention of restraining himself.
If he continues to favor and indulge Young Master Ming at this moment, I'm afraid even Elder Qingmu will not be able to accept it.
After all, Elder Qingmu is a highly respected person in the city. If this matter cannot be handled fairly, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people.
At this time, Master Ming mistakenly thought that the Lord of Biluo City was scolding Elder Qingmu.
He forced a smug smile onto his face, which was originally bruised and swollen like a pig's head.
"Hmph... My uncle is... the city lord. You all... kneel down and apologize, and I will spare your lives."
Master Ming shouted triumphantly, completely ignoring his current miserable state.
Xiao Wanwan took a look at Mr. Ming's horrible pig-headed face, and felt a chill in her heart and shivered.
This pervert's smile is so sinister and terrifying, it's really creepy!
Elder Qingmu saw Xiao Wanwan's reaction clearly and thought she was frightened by Mr. Ming's threatening words.
He took a step forward and protected Xiao Wanwan firmly behind him. His expression became increasingly gloomy and ugly, and he was obviously extremely angry.
"City Lord, this boy has the audacity to threaten me in front of me. If you continue to sit back and do nothing, I will personally teach this lunatic a lesson!"
Elder Aoki spoke righteously, his voice resounding throughout the street.
"Well, Elder Qingmu is absolutely right!"
Amidst the crowd watching the excitement, a clear and firm voice rang out without warning.
The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was so clear that it penetrated the ears of everyone present.
This sentence was like a fuse that ignited a powder keg, instantly detonating the originally calm crowd.
For a moment, the echoes came one after another like a tide, one wave higher than the other.
First, someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Yes, we support Elder Qingmu!"
Then another man, his eyes wide open, waved his fists and shouted, "Teach this lunatic a lesson!"
Some even shouted, "Yes, beat him! Beat him hard!"
Everyone was talking at once, the atmosphere was heated up, and it was so tense that it seemed like it could ignite at any time.
There was a constant noise and the whole scene was in chaos.
Although Master Ming has only been in Biluo City for a short time, he behaves in an extremely arrogant and domineering manner, looking down on everyone to the extreme, and causing countless troubles.
Although everyone was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction with his actions, they knew his identity and dared not speak out.
Seeing Xiao Wanwan beat him up, everyone was secretly happy, but they were also secretly worried about Xiao Wanwan.
Now that Elder Qingmu has stepped forward to uphold justice, how could anyone be willing to let him go?
The Lord of Biluo City stood up for his nephew in the beginning, then wanted to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing, and now the situation is out of control, and he feels like he is in a dilemma.
He was furious. He couldn't let his nephew ruin the reputation he had worked so hard to build in Biluo City.
The Lord of Biluo City struggled to force a smile that was uglier than crying, and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet:
"Everyone, please be patient. We in Biluo City have always valued peace and harmony, and neighbors get along harmoniously. Such a terrible thing has never happened before. If anyone dares to bully others and take advantage of the weak here, this city lord will certainly not let them off easily!"
However, at this moment, his heart was filled with helplessness. Although he wanted to protect his disappointing nephew, facing the angry people, he knew that it would be difficult to offend the public.
With Elder Qingmu watching closely, if he tried to shield her, it would probably cause even greater trouble. After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to compromise temporarily.
"City Lord, this Young Master Ming is running rampant and overbearing in Biluo City. I hope you can help us."
"Yes, yes. We used to live and work in peace and contentment in Biluo City. But ever since this Mr. Ming came, we've been living in fear every day, afraid that we'd fall into his clutches."
"Lord City Lord, please punish this villain severely and give us justice!"
The Lord of Biluo City looked at the growing crowd in front of him, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Although there are many cultivators in Biluo City, there are also many ordinary people.
For a moment, shouts echoed throughout the entire Biluo City, and people gathered around, extremely excited.
Seeing this situation, the Lord of Biluo City turned green in the face, and cursed his trouble-making nephew in his heart.
This bastard, as a cultivator, not only doesn't he concentrate on practicing, but he actually goes around bullying ordinary people with low strength.
If he had provoked other cultivators, it would have been fine. At most, it could have been explained as a mistake made during the competition between the two sides, and even if casualties were caused, it would have been excusable.
But now, he has offended innocent people. How will this end?
The Lord of Biluo City slowly swept his eyes over the indignant faces. His brows knitted tightly together, his mind racing, he gritted his teeth and ordered in a cold voice:
"Come here, Li Daming is a tyrant and bullies others by taking advantage of his power. He will be flogged thirty times in the street as a warning to others."
As soon as these words were spoken, the previously noisy crowd fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise and disbelief.
After all, this Young Master Ming is the city lord's nephew. But on second thought, such a punishment is also a gratifying thing for this lawless young man.
Forcing it like this might backfire.
When Li Daming saw that the Lord of Biluo City did not stand up for him and wanted to whip him in the street, he felt like he was struck by lightning and was stunned.
He opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, staring straight at the City Lord of Biluo, and said with trembling lips:
"Uncle...you...how could you do this to me? It was clearly me who was beaten by someone else...Are you...are you getting senile?"
"Do it."
Facing Li Daming's questioning, the Lord of Biluo City just snorted coldly, then turned around resolutely and never looked at him again.
Li Daming was completely panicked at this moment. He struggled hard to break free from the guards' restraints, and shouted loudly with his toothless mouth:
"Let me go...! You... dogs and slaves, how dare you rebel against your superiors! When I... go back and tell Auntie, I'll make sure... you guys pay for it!"
