C1266 Autophagy

After returning to Shading City, Deng Lai immediately reported such a thing to the City Lord.

Very quickly, the City Lord gathered all of the elders and hall masters into the main hall of the city.

As this matter was related to the Elder Collin, the City Lord of Shading City did not inform him beforehand. When he arrived at the main hall, he found that something was wrong, but it was obvious that it was already too late.

However, he was a scheming old fox, how could he admit it? Thus, when he saw Hall Master Luo, Mu Yi, and the other Monster race members bound together in the great hall, a thought immediately flashed through his mind, and that was, no matter what, he should not admit that he was involved in this matter.

When all the Monster race members arrived, City Lord Shading who was seated in the center of the hall immediately turned to look at Pavilion Master Luo. "I heard that you've received benefits from Mu Yi and want to deal with our people in Shading City?"

The evidence was already in Deng Lai's hands, so Hall Master Luo could only admit it, "Yes."

"You are just a hall master. Who gave you the guts to do so?" The city governor immediately said coldly.

"Yes."

Just as Hall Master Luo wanted to reveal Elder Collin, Elder Collin had already shouted, "Hall Master Luo, I didn't expect you to be such a person. It's all for nothing that I think so highly of you!"

Seeing that Elder Collin was obviously trying to shirk his responsibility, Pavilion Master Luo did not have any more kindness in his heart. Instead, he said coldly, "Elder Collin, you were the one who told me to do so. You actually want to shove everything out of me now!"

"How is this possible? How could I possibly do such a thing?" I am an elder of Shading City, I have been loyal to the Nanchuan region for my entire life! " Elder Collin could not help but shout.

"Elder Collin, stop pretending. It was you who accepted my benefits and made Hall Master Luo do this." Mu Yi, who was at the side, stared at Elder Collin and said.

"City Lord, these two are slandering us. I didn't even ask Hall Master Luo to do that." Elder Collin shouted to the City Lord.

"Elder Collin, don't say it. I want to hear what reason they have." The mayor frowned.

Hearing the City Lord's words, Elder Collin could only shut his mouth.

"What reason do you have?" The City Lord then turned to look at Hall Master Luo and Mu Yi and said.

"City Lord, initially, Hall Master Deng and I had other missions and we should not have accepted this mission, but Elder Collin used his authority to have us accept this mission at the same time, that is one of the reasons." Pavilion Master Luo added.

Hearing Hall Master Luo's words, the city lord couldn't help but nod his head. Honestly speaking, he was quite interested in this mission, and was a bit curious about why Elder Collin insisted for Deng Lai and Hall Master Luo to carry out this one.

However, he didn't think too much into it at the time. How could he have known that there was such a trick to it?

"Mayor, don't listen to his nonsense. I just think that the two of them are more suitable for this mission than the others." Elder Collin quickly replied.

The mayor ignored him and asked, "Do you have any other evidence?"

Pavilion Master Luo didn't have any more evidence, so he looked at Muyi and said, "Muyi, didn't you say you had an image rune? "Hurry and take it out."

However, Mui shook his head. "I don't have any image runes."

Hearing Mu Yi's words, Hall Master Luo's face couldn't help but twitch. He had been exposed just now because Mu Yi mentioned that there was an image rune, but who would have thought that the other side didn't have one at all?

"However, although I don't have any image runes, I do have a powerful proof." Then, Mu Yi said.

"What evidence?" The mayor couldn't help but ask.

"Elder Collin took a piece of Fu Wenjia. That Fu Wenjia is a bit special, once activated, a 'Mu' word would immediately appear somewhere on it." Mu Yi said.

"Oh, is that so?" The mayor nodded and looked towards the Elder Collin, "Elder Collin, is there really such a Fu Wenjia?"

"It's true that I have Fu Wenjia, but I don't even have such a Fu Wenjia." Elder Collin immediately replied.

"Elder Collin, do you dare to activate Fu Wenjia in front of everyone?" Mu Yi asked.

"Why wouldn't I dare? But let me tell you, that Fu Wenjia isn't the Fu Wenjia that you said there was a 'Mu' character on top of it, hehehe." Elder Collin snickered.

"If you take out the other Fu Wenjia, you naturally wouldn't have the word 'Wood'. But if you take out the one I gave you, there must be a 'Wood' character." Mui said.

The two demons acted as if they were telling the truth, causing the crowd of demons to have no idea who to believe.

"Don't worry, how could I possibly have your Fu Wenjia?" After saying that, the Elder Collin turned to the City Lord and said, "City Lord, my Fu Wenjia is currently wearing it, but he is definitely not Mu Yi's Fu Wenjia."

"Show me first." The mayor frowned.

"Alright." After saying that, Elder Collin immediately took off his jacket, revealing Fu Wenjia's body to the group of Spirit Demon beings.

Under the watch of all the Spirit Demon beings, Elder Collin activated Fu Wenjia, and countless of runes immediately appeared on Fu Wenjia's body.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, but no matter how they looked, they could not see what word formed on Fu Wenjia's forehead.

"Heh heh, did you see that, this Fu Wenjia doesn't even have the word 'Wood'." Elder Collin laughed proudly.

However, Mu Yi's expression changed, he could not help but ask, "This is obviously my Fu Wenjia, how can he not have the word 'Wood'?"

City Lord's face immediately darkened and he shouted at Mu Yi, "Mu Yi, how dare you! You actually want to frame our Shading City's Elder Collin!"

"Um, City Lord, you really should have the word Wood, right? Why don't we ask Elder Collin to try again?" Mu Yi said unwillingly.

"Although I don't need to care about what you're saying, so what if I demonstrate it again in order to prove my innocence?" Elder Collin said with a magnanimous look.

With that, he kept the runes on Fu Wenjia's body. After a few breaths, he activated them again.

Very quickly, countless symbols appeared on top of Fu Wenjia's body and the group of demons once again widened their eyes to look at Fu Wenjia. However, no matter how they looked, they couldn't find any words on Fu Wenjia's body.

"Muyi, what else do you have to say? Pavilion Master Luo, what about you? " Elder Collin said provocatively to Mu Yi and Pavilion Master Luo.

Although he was very suspicious, there was no evidence that could convict him, so he was not worried.

Mu Yi and Hall Master Luo could not refute him and could only remain silent.

"Alright, the facts have proven that the Elder Collin has nothing to do with this matter." Seeing this situation, the mayor immediately said this.

Although he suspected Elder Collin, Elder Collin was still his subordinate after all, and he had done a lot of work in the past few years. In the absence of any evidence that he had colluded with Mu Yi, he naturally chose to protect Elder Collin.

Could it be that this old man was going to escape his punishment just like that? Hearing the City Lord's words, the Spirit Demon beings on Deng Lai's side were naturally unwilling, but like Mu Yi, they had no solution.

However, just when everyone thought that the matter was settled, a youth suddenly stood up and said, "City Lord, Elder Collin is actually wearing a wooden character on top of the Fu Wenjia."

This youth was naturally Lin Long.

Hearing Lin Long's words, Deng Lai's face couldn't help but change. He quickly pulled him back and asked, "Chen Xiao, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Pavilion Master Deng, I am not spouting nonsense. That is indeed the case." Lin Long said.

"Hey, brat, how can you talk nonsense like that? Do you think all of us are fools? What words are there on the Elder Collin's Fu Wenjia? "

At this moment, quite a few demon clan members frowned as they spoke.

"Pavilion Master Deng, watch your subordinates!" Some of the elders started to scold Deng Lai.

"Yes, yes." Deng Lai smiled apologetically, and then, he wanted to pull Lin Long back once again.

But what he did not expect was that after his hand slipped, Lin Long walked out again.

"City Lord, there is indeed a 'Wood' character on this Fu Wenjia." Lin Long said to the City Lord again.

"Kid, not only are you speaking nonsense, you are also looking down on the rules of our Shading City!" The elder from before immediately shouted at Lin Long.

Saying that, he looked towards the guard at the door, "Capture this kid!"

At this moment, the City Lord, who had been silent for a while, suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

"City Lord, what's wrong?" That elder could not help but ask the City Lord.

The city lord didn't pay attention to him and instead looked towards Lin Long and asked, "You said that there's a 'Wood' character on top of the 'Elder Collin' Fu Wenjia, but we didn't see anything."

"City Lord, the runes on Elder Collin Fu Wenjia should have been able to form a single character, but he used a concealment technique to prevent the character from appearing." Lin Long said.

"Brat, you're slandering us!" The Elder Collin shouted in anger.

Although he said this, he was actually panicking in his heart, because the matter was indeed as the other party had said.

"If you say that the Elder Collin used a concealment technique, then I'll give you a chance to reveal that word. If you can't do it, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" At the end, the mayor's tone became incomparably cold.

"Mayor, don't worry." Lin Long could not help but smile, and immediately walked to the front of Elder Collin.

"Do as you wish. If there really is a wood character, I, Colin, will eat this Fu Wenjia." The Elder Collin sneered.

His serious appearance made most of the monsters present believe in him.

They didn't know that Elder Collin's heart was already in turmoil.

Lin Long did not care about him, but extended his hand and patted on Elder Collin's body a few times. After a few times, one of the runes started to flicker, and when they stopped, everyone was extremely surprised, because the runes at that place had already formed a wood character.

Looking at the word 'Wood', the mayor could not help but frown, "Elder Collin, what's going on?"

Elder Collin's face became pale, and then he kneeled down with a 'putong' sound, "City Lord, I was wrong, because this Fu Wenjia is not bad, so I was greedy for a moment."

"Do you mean to say that you've really colluded with Mu Yi from the Ming Region?" The mayor coldly said.

"City Lord, I do not have the intention to deal with our Nanchuan Region. I only wanted Mu Yi to teach Deng Lai a lesson." Elder Collin said with a sullen face.

"You are wrong, colluding with the demon race in the Ming Region is a serious crime, no matter what your goal is." The mayor shook his head.

At this time when the Nanchuan Region and the Ming Region were not on good terms, colluding with one another was a serious crime, and even the City Lord of Shading City did not dare to protect him.

Thus, even if he did not want to do anything to the Elder Collin, City Lord Sha Dingli could only do so.

With that, he looked towards an elder and said, "Law Enforcement Elder, take him down and escort him to the dungeon!"

That elder immediately stood out and placed a restriction on the people in Elder Collin.

Elder Collin did not dare to resist, he could only watch as the other party subdued him.

Afterwards, the Law Enforcement Elder escorted Elder Collin, Mu Yi, Hall Master Luo and the other demon clan members to the prison in Shading City.

When they left, the City Lord shifted his gaze onto Lin Long, and said, "Little brother, your Symbol Literature is not bad, you actually managed to see through it."

Just now, the moment the word "Wood" had appeared, they, who had some background, had naturally seen that the Elder Collin had used some sort of method to conceal the "Wood" character.

"I had specifically learned Symbol Literature in the prefecture before, so I had a certain level of understanding towards it. That's why I know it." Lin Long explained.

"En, not bad. Continue to develop it in the future." The mayor nodded with an expression of extreme appreciation.

Afterwards, he looked at the demons with a serious expression, "Alright, this matter is concluded here. I hope that in the future, this sort of thing won't happen again."2

Only after saying this did he allow the demons to leave.

Afterwards, Lin Long, Deng Lai and the rest of the Spirit Demon Race returned to the location of their branch hall.

"Brother Chen, I didn't think that you would have such an understanding of Symbol Literature! "It was really unexpected."

On the way back, Deng Lai and the other demon clan members sighed.

"Elder Collin does have a certain amount of power in Shading City. If it wasn't for the incident that suddenly happened, and if we didn't beat him up until he couldn't stand up straight, we wouldn't have been able to stay in Shading City." After which, someone from the demon race said this.

"That's right. If we hadn't knocked him down, our future days would have been very difficult." Deng Lai said.

"Even if he is locked up, we will have to be careful in the future. Moreover, he also has a disciple who is a celebrity in Nanchuan City, and he became a hall master of Nanchuan City at such a young age. The abilities he possesses are not something we can compare with." The demon clan from before said.

"Oh, what's his name?" Lin Long asked.

"He's called Li Xi, and is only a few years older than you, but his strength has already reached the late stage of the martial arts domination. It's precisely because of this that he is able to become a hall master in Nanchuan City."

"Although he is a hall master, because of his limitless future, his ability and prestige cannot be compared with the Elders of Shading City."

"It can be said that the elders of our city have to be polite when they see him. Only the city lord of our city doesn't put him in his eyes."

Deng Lai and the rest of the Spirit Demon beings started talking about Li Xi.

"But Brother Chen, you don't have to worry, after all this is already decided, the City Lord will definitely protect us, when that time comes, even if Li Xi causes trouble, the City Lord will stand on our side." Deng Lai comforted Lin Long.

"That's good." Lin Long nodded.

While they were talking, they returned to the location of their branch.

The next two days were peaceful, all the way until the third day, when Lin Long was walking around Shading City, when suddenly a few Spirit Demon beings stopped in front of him.
