C4292 Undercurrent Movement(last Part)
Gu Qingming shook his head again. In fact, no matter what method it was, Gu Qingming had already thought of it. It was because there was no need for him at all that Gu Qingming would sit there and stare. Otherwise... With Gu Qingming's High-grade Martial Monarch strength... He would have killed that Demon Emperor long ago. Did he still need to wait until now?1
Gu Qingming stopped the City Lord's words and said slowly, "Don't be nervous for now. This matter isn't as simple as you think. That Demon Emperor is mixed in with the people, and most likely, he is among those young geniuses. No one will be able to detect him if he keeps hiding his true intentions, including me. "
The City Lord was stunned. Even Gu Qingming, who had been in contact with the Demonic Beast for his entire life, couldn't find this Demon Emperor. Wasn't this too terrifying? What was the origin of this Demon Emperor?
Gu Qingming continued, "Listen to me. This time, the Selection Competition is an opportunity. I have no intention of using everyone's lives as bait, but this is the only chance I have to catch this Demon Emperor who has been hiding for countless years. It might be next year, or next month, both of us will be going to the battlefield. Once such a Demon Emperor is hidden in the mortal world, there will be both internal and external troubles. Even Dynasty may not be able to withstand this kind of situation. Do you know what's more important? "
The city lord was silent. He naturally knew that Gu Qingming's assumption was very reasonable. It was also very realistic, although it might not be something that happened in these few years. Once that happened, it would definitely happen in the future. ... The Demon Emperor hiding in the Main City of Dingfeng had erupted. At that time, no one in the city would be able to stop a Level City Lord from wreaking havoc.
Including the Main City of Dingfeng and the four major auxiliary cities, none of them would be able to survive. The least dangerous thing about this matter was the survival of a few cities, and it might even affect the stability of the empire.
The City Lord was a little hesitant. He was not an indecisive person. However, as a person, he knew that no matter who he used as bait, especially since... the contestants this time had their own precious daughter.
Gu Qingming looked at the City Lord and said bluntly, "I know you care about your children, but I want you to understand the pros and cons of this."
The City Lord remained silent, but Gu Qingming's voice suddenly became serious. Great Imperial Scholar's unique Qi instantly spread out. The majestic Gu Qingming looked straight at the City Lord and said sternly.
"You are the City Lord, not a high and mighty ruler. You are a person who must make the best choice for the army and the people in this city at any time! Any choice you make is not your father's choice. It is the choice of the city lord, the future direction of the Dingfeng City! Whether you are cold-blooded or gentle, you have no choice. Do you understand?"
As the City Lord, he has never had the authority to choose and be at ease. It has never been something the true City Lord can enjoy. It was the future of the entire city. When it was necessary, they would make a choice... It was a future that even they had to sacrifice themselves for.
The City Lord did not refute. There was only an impulse in his heart that was so sad that he wanted to cry: I will do all of this. I am willing to give up my life for the people of my city. I am willing to die for the kingdom. I am willing to do all of this!! But why is it my daughter?!
They are innocent. As a father, why can't I give them the best protection? These are all things that I must do. Why can't I make a choice? If I can, I want to die for them...
