Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2525: The Fake City Lord, the Madman!

"Boss Lin, why do I feel there’s something wrong? The city lords in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm are basically appointed by nearby Super Sects. Whether they manage the city well or poorly doesn’t benefit or harm them. In fact, participating in management would waste much of their energy, which seems quite uncharacteristic for cultivators!"

Ma Biaohu asked with some doubt at this time. Although the city lord seems to be doing well and in the interest of most people, if this were on Earth, it wouldn’t be a problem to promote a righteous public official. But in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, there’s no such thing as promotion, so it doesn’t make sense. Why, then, are the city lords of other cities so lazy, while this one is different?

Hearing Ma Biaohu’s words, Tao Tao came to her senses and also asked with some doubt. It indeed seemed to be the case. She hadn’t noticed this before or thought in this direction, but now she shared her view.

"Brother Lin, I thought of another problem. If this city lord is problematic, why haven’t others noticed? That’s a problem in itself. I find it hard to believe that only we would notice!" Looking at Lin Feng, Tao Tao said seriously. After all, over the past ten years, it’s unlikely that no one would have discovered it!

"This is getting interesting!" Lingling suddenly appeared beside Lin Feng and said, "Little Xiao Feng, this is a test for you now. What do you think the situation might be?"

As Lingling drew closer, Lin Feng couldn’t stand her and moved to Tao Tao’s side, finally breathing a sigh of relief. But at this moment, his brain was racing. His thoughts aligned with Ma Biaohu’s, yet what Tao Tao said was also possible. These two issues intertwined left him in a headache.

Suddenly, a flash of insight hit him, and he said to everyone, "Have any of you thought of this possibility? Others might have noticed this city lord as problematic, but maybe the city lord found a convincing excuse, leading them to overlook this possibility?"

"Wow, Little Xiao Feng is so smart!" Lingling pretended to pounce on Lin Feng. Seeing him about to dodge, she covered her mouth with laughter. She realized teasing Lin Feng was quite amusing, and despite Tao Tao’s furious gasping on the side, Lingling didn’t care at all. Instead, she whispered some embarrassing words to Tao Tao, making her blush fiercely and lower her head in embarrassment.

"Boss, this situation is starting to get interesting. How about we go investigate tonight?" Tangyuan suggested with a smile. They had finally found something intriguing and Tangyuan didn’t want to miss it.

"Alright, let’s at least figure out what’s going on." Lin Feng agreed with Tangyuan’s proposal. Although the city lord’s affairs had nothing to do with them, Lin Feng felt it was for the residents’ well-being to uncover the truth, preventing them from being deceived.

After agreeing, he led everyone away to avoid Lingling’s harassment. Though dissatisfied, Lingling hid in the sword, but not before sending a message to Lin Feng.

"Little Xiao Feng, the fortuneteller said you are my only man; you won’t escape in this lifetime."

This remark nearly made Lin Feng stumble, but he ignored Lingling, pretending not to hear it. He steadied his mind and then visited the market, partly to buy materials and partly to buy time until nightfall to investigate the City Lord Mansion.

In the market, they found some interesting items, but nothing more than that. They waited eagerly for nightfall and arrived at a tavern not far from the City Lord Mansion, pretending to be customers dining and drinking, requesting a private room. Tangyuan discreetly slipped away.

With Lin Feng’s Divine Sense aiding him, the formations at the City Lord Mansion seemed nonexistent. Tangyuan, guided by Lin Feng’s Divine Sense, reached the rear of the house and stopped outside a lit room.

To avoid detection by the city lord, Tangyuan floated silently, listening intently to the conversation inside.

"I’ve been laying this plan for ten years; it’s really exhausting, my dear brother. After a few days, I’ll pretend to be you on your wedding and torment that pretty sister-in-law of mine. Then I’ll start my plan. I never thought everything would be this easy. If I have a blood sacrifice of this entire city’s population, I believe I’ll definitely become a Divine Venerable. Hahaha..."

"You’ve embraced the demonic path without fear of divine punishment? Do you have any idea how many people are in this city? Planning their demise; you’re mad! Ziyun Sect won’t let you off, just kill me if you dare!"

"Hahaha, kill you? How absurd! Even on that day, I won’t kill you. I’ll forcibly use the Blood Demon Divine Art to turn you into a member of my Blood Demon Lineage. Then you’ll be my scapegoat. Oh, and I’ll alter your memory, making you appear as if you went mad with cultivation. You’re my best scapegoat!"

"You... you’re not human! I’m your real brother, yet you still want to kill the entire city? You’re a madman, a madman!"

"You’re right, I was never human. Even if you scream, it won’t matter; the City Lord Mansion is empty, and there are formations outside. Whatever happens here, the outside world won’t know."

"..."

The conversation from the room chilled Tangyuan to the bone. From the snippets it heard, it understood that there were two brothers inside, twin brothers, one righteous and one evil. This terrifying plot was concocted by the demonic younger brother. More terrifyingly, a few days from now, during the wedding, he plans to kill all the city’s residents...

Having heard enough, Tangyuan didn’t need to listen further. Quickly it returned to Lin Feng’s location, drank a glass of water, and tensely shared with everyone.

"You may not believe it, but the current city lord isn’t the original city lord. He’s the real city lord’s brother, and a member of the Blood Demon Lineage. He’s imprisoned the genuine city lord. Later, this demon plans to kill every resident of Zicheng and leave the real city lord to take the blame. Making Zicheng prosperous before was just a facade; his true purpose is to kill everyone..."

Honestly, Tangyuan’s heart was shocked by today’s revelation. No one expected such a conspiracy, nor that they’d become entangled in such matters, aiming to kill the entire city’s population: a bloodied, unstained massacre. This person spent ten years setting this up, imprisoning his brother—who could possibly commit such deeds? A madman must be a madman!

A madman!

A true madman!

A demon, a real demon!

...

Lin Feng and his companions were stunned by the news. They suspected something amiss but hadn’t detected it. The previous actions were mere cover, secretly harboring a monumental conspiracy. If it was the genuine city lord, such deeds would be impossible, but a fake city lord could definitely execute them. They hadn’t anticipated this outcome!

"Little Xiao Feng, what methods do you think this fake city lord will use to slaughter a city’s population?" Lingling sternly asked, redirecting the topic to this issue. Her thoughts were focused on understanding the enemy’s plans to save the city’s people!

"Want to massacre a city’s people?" Prompted by Lingling, Lin Feng’s eyes flashed brightly, and his mind connected the waiter’s words with the current situation, forming a complete line of connection.

Organizing his thoughts, Lin Feng began to speak: "If my guess is correct, the fake city lord would likely use two methods. One is employing a super-evil array over the entire city, while the other would be unleashing some super poison that spreads rapidly throughout the city."

Upon hearing this, everyone opened their eyes wide, imagining Lin Feng’s scenario. An array that seals the entire city and horribly massacres everyone inside, leaving rivers of blood and piles of bones...

The thought sent shivers down their spines; such a scene was terrifying. This fake city lord is indeed an Evil Cultivator, a true madman, a bona fide demon!

Seeing the group’s reaction, Lin Feng shared his analysis further: "If I’m not mistaken, over the past ten years, that city lord outwardly improved the city, yet he used this guise to continuously perfect a super array covering the whole city. With public sentiment backing him, his presence anywhere in the city was reasonable. Thus he spent ten years laying this array. Without this guise, he wouldn’t waste such time on pointless civic duties."

"Oh my, I’m feeling the fake city lord is incredible. Such a massively sinister plan, sabotaging his sister-in-law, tormenting his brother, forcing him to take the fall—how dark and twisted must he be? I must admire him, compared to him, terrorists on Earth are mere scraps!"

Ma Biaohu was overwhelmed with emotion. Previously, he thought Earth terrorists were formidable, but before this fake city lord, they were nothing. The estimated millions in Zicheng include numerous cultivators, sect members, to target all these people together—such audacity beyond heaven’s reach...
