After seeing Qin Chen leave, the face of the East Light City Lord was uncertain, but the deep shock in his eyes never disappeared. He knew that if the other party had wanted to kill him just now, it would have been very easy, but in the end, the other party did not make a move.
"Who is this young man? Is he a core disciple of some top-level major power? How could he establish a force in my East Light City?"
The East Light City Lord couldn't understand why someone like Qin Chen, a top-level core disciple, would want to establish a force in a place like East Light City; it was simply too trivial.
Around, everyone else was silent, and all the people from the surrounding chambers of commerce and major forces were shocked. After Qin Chen and his group killed the deputy city lord Luo Sha at the dock, they left grandiosely, and the East Light City Lord did not even try to stop them.
Such a scene was deeply engraved in their hearts, leaving an unforgettable impression.
The East Light City Lord stood quietly in the square, feeling a chill down his back, soaked in cold sweat. Even when Qin Chen and his group had walked far away, his face was still very pale.
At that moment, he felt the threat of death.
At this moment, several strong individuals came before the East Light City Lord with faces full of terror, one of them even trembling, knowing that the City Lord had always been overbearing. It was the first time he had admitted weakness in front of others. Fortunately, after those people killed the deputy city lord Luo Sha, they did not continue their assault. Otherwise, even if they were killed, no one would dare to do anything to them.
"City Lord, just letting them leave like that? These people are too arrogant, killing deputy city lord Luo Sha right in front of you. How will you maintain your influence in the Heavenly Realm in the future? Such evil people must be reported to the top-level forces of the Heavenly Realm so they can send people down to punish them and investigate thoroughly..." said one of Luo Sha's confidants unwillingly, with a mad look in his eyes.
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, the East Light City Lord slapped him across the face, sending him flying to the ground with a bang. The man's face was half-smashed, looking extremely miserable and howling in pain.
"City Lord."
The others were terrified, instantly silencing themselves, trembling. The terrifying murderous aura emanating from the City Lord made everyone feel cold, and they dared not say a word.
"Hmph, do you really think I'm an idiot?"
The East Light City Lord snorted coldly.
How could he not know that deputy city lord Luo Sha had been using his position to gain benefits in East Light City over the years? He just didn't bother to deal with it, always turning a blind eye. But now, Luo Sha had provoked someone he shouldn't have, almost causing him to perish there.
Ridiculous, should he risk everything for a mere Luo Sha, report to higher-ups, and go against someone who is likely a core disciple of a top-level force, just for pride?
Do they really think he's an idiot?
Being assigned here already made him a marginal figure in his power. What he needed to do the most now was to focus on cultivating, break through the Venerable realm, and return to the core of his power. To cause trouble with another top-level power over a small matter would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
"Who started this whole affair?"
The East Light City Lord coldly glanced at several city lord mansion experts around him, asking in a cold voice.
"It was deputy city lord Luo Sha's nephew, Luo Feng, who led the charge. He has been killed by that person."
One of the city lord mansion experts quickly answered nervously.
The East Light City Lord said expressionlessly, "Doesn't Luo Sha have a chamber of commerce in East Light City that's been competing with the Tianwu Alchemy Shop?"
"Yes, City Lord!"
The city lord mansion expert answered tremulously again, seemingly understanding the East Light City Lord's intentions, his voice becoming increasingly unstable.
