The two Golden Core cultivators flew high up into the sky.

Chi Dun's face was ashen and his body was still slightly injured. He snorted coldly from his gray cloud:"Faith! If you hadn't stopped me from chasing the devil cultivator, I would have captured him long ago!"

The object of his quarrel was an old man dressed in yellow, with a goatee and bright eyes. His name was Fei Si.

Faith snorted coldly."You're a fool. Am I stopping you from chasing the demon? I am stopping you from destroying the Fire Persimmons Forest!"

The two of them argued all the way until they were in front of the City Lord.

Layers of clouds opened like curtains, revealing the true body of the City Lord.

The current City Lord's face was calm and emotionless. He was already used to the quarrel between the two.

Fei Si and Chi Dun were the most powerful arms of the city lord, but they had never been on good terms.

After Chi Dun saluted and paid homage, he immediately complained. He accused Fei Si of not cooperating and instead stopped him from pursuing him. Now that he had let the black shadow demon cultivator slip into the Fire Persimmons Forest, he could only temporarily seal the forest.

Faith immediately refuted,"Boorish!"

"The Fire Persimmons Forest is extremely valuable. It has been cultivated since the city was built. It took more than ten generations of hard work and hundreds of years of hard work to achieve the scale we have today."

"Fire persimmon is explosive. Once a war breaks out in the Fire persimmon forest, it will inevitably lead to a series of explosions. At that time, the biggest property of our Fire Periston Immortal City will be destroyed!"

"More than half of the Immortal City's annual income comes from the Fire Persimmons Forest. It can be said that the Fire Peristle Forest supports the operation of the Immortal City."

"You're so shortsighted about your own mission. Once the fire persimmon forest is destroyed, how will the city lord explain to the South Bean Imperial Court?"

It turned out that Esteemed Three Sects had hidden the Lava Immortal Palace deep in the Fire Perilla Mountain. After suppressing the volcano, this place gradually turned from a bad land into a blessed land.

The Southern Bean Immortal Dynasty took a fancy to this place. Hundreds of years ago, they appointed Nascent Soul cultivators to settle in the volcano and build an immortal city. After the Immortal City Grand Array was set up, it absorbed soil power and fire spiritual energy as nutrients to cultivate the Fire Persimmons Forest.

The Fire Peristle Forest benefited greatly, and the name of the Fire Peristle Immortal City came from it.

The annual fire persimmon picking, but also derived from the unique fire persimmon immortal city festival-fire persimmon festival.

On the festival day, monks from all over the city come to the forest to participate in picking fire persimmon. At that time, the city was filled with the joy of harvest and was very lively.

Chi Dun stiffened his neck and glared angrily at Faith. He was about to speak.

The City Lord interrupted," Alright, you've interrogated a group of cultivators. Do you have any clues?"

Chi Dun hurriedly bowed and presented the confession book.

The City Lord sat still and allowed the confession book to slowly float in front of him. A strong wind blew and turned the confession book from head to tail.

He was a Nascent Soul cultivator and his spiritual sense was amazing. In a few breaths, he had read the contents of the confession book.

It has no value.

He said,"Lord, the devil is hiding in the fire." What should I do?"

The City Lord's divine sense gathered together, and he flew the confession book to Chi Dun. His tone was calm." What do you think?"

Chi Dun frowned awkwardly." The fire persimmon forest is extremely important. I think it's better to report it directly and have the South Bean Immortal Dynasty send someone to deal with it."

" Let's not talk about anything else. Just sprinkle a handful of red beans. With the red-scarved warrior leading the charge, casualties will be greatly reduced."

" Or, we can directly invite the Divine Constable Department to come and kill the demonic cultivators."

" Whether it's the cultivators of the Divine Constable Department who cultivate the Clear Heart Warning Technique or the Tracing Technique, they're better at chasing down murderers than me."

The City Lord was expressionless as he glanced at Fei Si.

Faith immediately understood and shouted again,"Boorish man!"

"You called the Divine Constable Department over. What else do you have to do with us?"

" We've already negotiated with the two families in secret. Now, we suddenly report to the higher authorities. How do we face the Zhou and Zheng families?"

"Once this is done, it's a big violation of the rules!"

"In the future, if you continue to be an official, how can the local cultivation families trust you?"

" You must know that if you are in charge of a place, you have to maintain good relations with the local clans and work closely with them. Only then can you communicate with them."

"Go back on your word. What a despicable person!"

Faith refuted, emotional.

There was still part of what he hadn't said--

The discovery of the Lava Immortal Palace happened after the City Lord took office. According to the rules, the City Lord should report it in time.

However, at that time, the Zhou family and Zheng family tried their best to persuade him and bribed him with a large sum of money. The city lord himself also coveted the treasures of the Lava Immortal Palace, so he hid it and did not report it.

Originally, the three parties secretly developed it and had always lived in peace.

The Ning Family's discovery of the Lava Immortal Palace was within expectations. The three parties had long been mentally prepared to accept it.

However, an accident suddenly happened-the Lava Fairy Palace was blown out!

That damned black shadow demon cultivator had single-handedly stirred up the situation and turned it upside down.

The Lava Immortal Palace was almost completely born, but the City Lord personally took action and barely suppressed it. However, the selection criteria for the Lava Celestial Palace had been lowered to the Refinement Stage. Moreover, the transmission bell was widely disseminated.

Even though the City Lord had issued many orders to control the cultivators present in time and try his best to cover it up, the news had already leaked out. As time passed, the South Bean royal family would definitely know.

If the City Lord obtained treasures from the Lava Fairy Palace, that would be fine.

But now, he had not gained any benefits at all!

The losses of the Immortal Dynasty were already inevitable. Under such circumstances, how could the City Lord be willing to stop? Of course, he had to brace himself and explore the Immortal Palace with all his might. This was the most in line with his interests.

Chi Dun said that he couldn't beat Faith, so he simply spread his hands, indicating that the task was too difficult and that he was helpless.

Faith sneered."You're just a boorish man. How can you think of anything? I have to do it!"

The City Lord looked at Fei Si and said indifferently," Fei Si, what method do you have? Just tell me."

Fei Si already had a draft in mind. At this moment, he smiled and said," Sir, I think the best way is to calm it down!"

" That black shadow demon cultivator's motive is very obvious. It's the Lava Immortal Palace!"

"Previously, he wanted to enter the Immortal Palace but was stopped by Zheng Shuanggou. Why did he appear near the dungeon this time?"

"On the surface, he wants to destroy the array pillars under the dungeon."

There were five array pillars in the array in the Fire Peristle Immortal City, which were located in the Zhou family, Zheng family, Ning family, dungeon, and city guard camp. Destroying these array pillars would endanger the entire array of the Fire Perilla Immortal City.

"But this is only the superficial purpose!" Fei Si made a judgment. His eyes sparkled and he was quite confident.

"It's very likely that he's deliberately exposing himself and luring Chi Dun to chase after him so that he can attract the City Lord to appear and capture him."

" In the end, this devil cultivator hid in the fire persimmon forest. He seemed to be in a panic, but in reality, it was quite strange."

"Fire persimmon is easy to self-destruct. There are multiple formations set up in the Fire persimmon forest. Why did he choose to hide here?"

"Right now, the multiple magic formations in the Fire Peristle Forest have been activated at the same time, temporarily sealing the black shadow devil cultivators. He seems to be a bird in a cage, but I prefer that he's trying to get our attention."

"This subordinate has a bold guess. This black shadow demonic cultivator is just bait on the surface. In fact, there are other people hiding in the dark."

" Once we are attracted by him and concentrate our strength on the encirclement, the crater will definitely be empty and exposed."

"We don't know much about the enemy. We know very little. I don't know how many enemies are hiding in the dark."

" We can't even rule out the possibility that the three great clans are the spies of the demonic cultivators, or even the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Chi Dun opened his mouth slightly as he listened, his eyes absent-minded.
