Chapter 2325: Not a benevolent person

“That’s right.”

The middle-aged man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and his eyes were looking into the distance. In a low and deep voice, he spoke unhurriedly. “I have to meet Phoenix City’s City Lord. Now it’s just an opportunity.”

The old man’s mouth twitched. He had no idea what to say.

His Master was different from the other forces. After occupying the mountain peak, his Master left the matters below for him to deal with. Even when he resided in the city, very few people had seen him. Some of the cultivators who joined later probably didn’t even know that he was their Master.

But, in all his years at his side, he had never found his master’s decision wrong. He was sure it would be the same this time.

It took them about a day or so to arrive in front of Phoenix City’s city gate. Before that, Feng Jiu and others had just come back. She had erected a boundary barrier in Devilry City. Only she could go over it, no one else could enter the place.

As soon as she returned to the courtyard to take a bath, she heard a report from outside that the only Immortal Venerable Strong Exponent among the remaining six forces, the City Lord whose city had no devilry cultivators, came to pay her a visit.

She got out of the bath, put on some clothes, wiped her jet-black hair dry, then went outside.

“Master, the visitor is the City Lord of a neighbouring city. He’s the City Lord who doesn’t take charge of the city management much. All the people here address him as the Insouciant Venerable Lord. They are waiting outside the city gate now.”

“Did he come by himself?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows, looking at Gu Xiang.

“He brought an old man with him. I had a look and there was no one else behind him.”

“Interesting.” She smiled. “Ask him to come into the front hall. I’ll be right there.”

“Yes.” Gu Xiang replied and then withdrew.

Outside, the Insouciant Venerable Lord was invited in, followed by the old man. When they entered the city, they saw the cultivators inside were actually engaged in training. On the side, there were some younger children and youngsters.

Seeing this, the Insouciant Venerable Lord was surprised. He didn’t expect that Phoenix City would accept even children and youngsters like that. The Phoenix City Lord was really odd.

“Please come inside.” Gu Xiang led the way, took the two men to the hall and then withdrew.

“Master, Phoenix City is really different. I didn’t expect them to accept even young children and youngsters. It seems that City Lord Feng is a kind-hearted person.” The old man said impartially. From entering the city to now, this was how he felt about the City Lord of Phoenix City.

Although he hadn’t met their City Lord yet, would a cold-blooded person offer shelter to those children and youngsters?

“A benevolent person?”

The Insouciant Venerable Lord smiled. “None of the exiled people here are good. She, a woman, can survive here and make those people respect her as their Lord. If she doesn’t have some means, how can it be justified? I don’t think so. At most, she doesn’t kill innocent people at will like other cultivators.”

“You said it right.”

Feng Jiu came in from outside and her gaze fell on the middle-aged man. “It’s not just in here. Even outside, there are few good-hearted people. I don’t think I’m a benevolent person, but I won’t kill innocent people.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man saw a figure in red walking in and his eyes flickered.
