Chapter 2316: Everyone’s thoughts Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Hearing this, the old man could not help but wipe his sweat and answered, “Master, this isn’t about a boring or interesting thing, because there’s still one thing I haven’t told you about!” “What else? Tell me everything!” He waved his hand and walked to the table set up on the side of the field. “Master, weren’t you looking for a beautiful woman in red some time ago? According to those eliminated cultivators, that woman in red is the City Lord of Phoenix City, but she is now disguised as a man.” The old man said hurriedly. “A woman?” The middle-aged man was stunned after he heard this report and then laughed. “If it’s a man, he may still be able to accomplish something. But if it’s a woman, the other forces will surely come after learning of this news. That woman won’t be able to keep Phoenix City.” “Exactly.” The old man said further. “Reportedly, when that woman fought with the former Black Mountain City’s Lord, she was a cultivator at the Immortal Sacred rank. Although a mystical spirit body, when fighting hand in hand with the Immortal Venerable Strong Exponent, it was difficult to gain the upper hand. What’s more, the leaders of the other forces are at the Immortal Venerable mid-stage, while the former Black Mountain City Lord was only at the Immortal Venerable early stage. This one rank difference is a lot.” “Plus, she still handpicked people and won’t accept devilry cultivators. Even we don’t pick and choose the way she does. In that way, she not only provoked those forces but also incurred those eliminated cultivators’ grudges. If anyone left Phoenix City, those people would certainly take advantage of the opportunity to vent their anger. ” “And if so, what’s it to us?” The middle-aged man spoke as he poured some water. “That’s their business. As long as they don’t come to us, we’ll ignore it.” Since his Master said this, the old man made a salute and withdrew. The other forces had also found out the news that Phoenix City was now ruled by a woman and started scheming. While paying attention to the movements of other forces, they were looking for an opportunity to explore the real situation of Phoenix City. That day, Feng Jiu had been looking at the information on several other forces that Elder Gu’s subordinates had obtained. After getting a rough idea, she had a solution in her heart. Then, she heard Elder Gu’s voice outside. “Master.” “Come in!” Feng Jiu put the information aside and looked at Elder Gu who came in from outside. Seeing his expression a little strange, she asked, “Is there something?” “Master, Devilry City sent their people and gave gifts, saying that, saying that...” He didn’t know what to say. “What did they say?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows. What kind of thing made him unable to speak? Elder Gu summoned up his courage and then said, “They said that their Master wanted to be immortal companions with you and become a family.” Hearing this, Feng Jiu’s lips curved into a sneer. “They are thick-skinned enough.” Elder Gu hung his head and didn’t dare to answer. It took him two days to know that his Master was really a woman. Although he was surprised, since they recognized her as their Master, they would not change their decision again. What’s more, he felt that even if the Master was a woman, she would not be inferior to a man. “This Devilry City’s power is considered rather strong among the remaining seven forces, right? What kind of things are sent here? Have the things been brought in?” Feng Jiu’s mind started moving and thought about these treasures. She was somewhat curious. What kind of treasure can those people take out in a place like this? After a brief surprise, Elder Gu answered. “Not yet.. They’re still waiting outside the city.”
