950Three Months of Waiting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After hearing the Black Devil King’s words, Wang Mang was a little surprised. He didn’t expect the Black Devil King to be willing to capture Li Taijian! However, he would rather capture him than kill Li Taijian!
From this, it could be seen how much the Black Devil King feared this guy!
Wang Mang could not help but worry.
He could tell from this.
How troublesome would it be to kill Li Taijian!
However, after thinking about it, Wang Mang was stunned.
If he did not kill Li Taijian, who would he kill?
He had to kill a world overlord to become a stepping stone.
Could it be that he wanted to kill the other two of the three kings of the Dark Zone? That was even more impossible.
Not even with the Dark Lord’s help.
It was precisely because of this that he could only choose to kill Li Taijian.
No matter how high the price was…
No matter how troublesome it was to kill Li Taijian…
Thinking of this, Wang Mang nodded at the Black Devil King.
“Alright! Fellow Daoist only needs to capture it and hand it to me.”
Hearing this, the Black Devil King looked deeply at Wang Mang and nodded indifferently.
“Alright! Give me half a month. I’ll definitely bring her to you.”
With that, the Dark Lord stood up and raised his hand, blasting open the enchantment.
After that, the Black Devil King left the City Lord Residence. As for Wang Mang, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He did not expect the negotiations to go so smoothly.
Of course, Wang Mang also knew that the price he had paid was not small. However, to Wang Mang, as long as he broke through to the sixth rank, he would be able to solve all of these problems.
On the contrary, what Wang Mang needed to think about was the trouble that would be left behind if he killed Li Taijian.
Thinking of this, Wang Mang called out, “Pan Zi, Ga Zi, come in.”
In the next moment, Pan Zigazi and the other man walked in from outside the City Lord’s Mansion. “Greetings, my lord.”
After seeing the two of them, Wang Mang nodded and raised his hand to set up another barrier.
Seeing this scene, Pan Zigazi was stunned. Then, he could not help but look at Wang Mang in confusion.
At this moment, Wang Mang slowly asked, “You should know more about the rules of the Heavenly Desolation Palace than me, right?”
Pan Zigazi was stunned. He nodded and said,
“Sir, you might not know this, but there are more rules than that!”
“We know the rules of the Heavenly Desolation Palace like the back of our hands.”
“Because the requirement to join the Heavenly Desolation Palace is to understand the rules of the Heavenly Desolation Palace.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang chuckled.
“What do you think will happen when the Heavenly Desolation Palace finds out that the subordinates killed their superiors or members of the same level?” After hearing Wang Mang’s words, Pan Zigazi was shocked. He looked at Wang Mang in bewilderment.
With Wang Mang asking this, how could they not know what Wang Mang was thinking?
Obviously, Wang Mang wanted to kill the two Vice City Lords!
Not only that, although they did not know what Wang Mang and the Black Devil King were talking about.
However, in the face of Wang Mang’s question, the two of them still answered honestly,
“Sir, if you kill a member of the same level as you, the Heavenly Desolation Palace will either imprison him or kill him.”
“However, if a subordinate kills a superior, the consequences will be very serious. They might be directly wanted and killed. They might even be executed.”
“As for those outside the Heavenly Desolation Palace, once they kill the members of the Heavenly Desolation Palace and involve the city level, they will all be executed once they are captured.”
“Of course, if it’s a Rank-6, killing a village-level member of the Heavenly Desolation Palace will cause trouble. In serious cases, they might even be imprisoned and severely punished.”
“However, my lord, the above is actually based on the situation.”
Wang Mang instantly narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and he said slowly, “What do you think I need to do to avoid the entanglement of the Heavenly Desolation Palace if I want to hunt down a large city-level member of the Heavenly Desolation Palace?”
Hearing this, Ga Zi was stunned. On the other hand, Pan Zi hurriedly said,
“Sir, if you want to kill your superiors reasonably, you must have a valid reason.”
“As long as the reason is valid, even if you’re punished, it won’t be too severe. If there’s someone above the Heavenly Desolation Palace, it’ll just be a situation.” After hearing this, Wang Mang’s eyes immediately lit up. He immediately had an idea and waved his hand. “Alright, I understand. You’re very considerate.” “When 1 break through to Rank Six and completely rule the Black Domain, I naturally won’t mistreat you.”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, Pan Zigazi was extremely excited. He hurriedly said respectfully, “We will follow you to the death!”
Obviously, Wang Mang’s praise was not as good as this promotion!
Seeing this, Wang Mang immediately nodded in satisfaction and asked,
“By the way, have I asked you to tabulate the members?”
“Which people in the City Governor’s Estate can be roped in? Which people are direct descendants of Yuan Ge and Yang Wei?”
Hearing this, Ga Zi quickly took out a record book and handed it over. “Sir, this is what we calculated.”
“We’ve basically already contacted and probed everyone in the City Lord Manor.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang immediately took the book and started reading.
After reading it, Wang Mang was even more disappointed.
That was because there were 18 official members of the Heavenly Desolation Palace, including Wang Mang.
Only five of them were willing to side with him.
Furthermore, all five of them were from the General Administration Department, which meant that they belonged to Wang Mang’s department.
As for the detention department and the administration department, no one was willing to get close to him, the city lord!
It seemed that if he did not get rid of these two deputy city lords, he would not be able to hold complete power.
Thinking of this, Wang Mang immediately said indifferently,
“From now on, you will start looking for trouble with them.”
“As for the reason to cause trouble for them, find your own reason.”
“Also, don’t provoke the three kings of the Dark Zone now. I’ll deal with them slowly after I break through.”
“Also, you can get the people from the Internal Affairs Department to cooperate with you. They won’t care about those who disobey me.”
Hearing this, Pan Zigazi immediately beamed with joy and said, “Yes, sir!” Seeing this scene, Wang Mang waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Only then did Pan Zigazi and Zhang Ruochen leave the City Lord’s Mansion with their hands cupped in front of their chests.
Then, Wang Mang began to wait for news of the Black Devil King.
However, what Wang Mang did not expect was…
This wait lasted for three months.
Just as Wang Mang was about to lose his patience…
A terrifying aura swept over.
In the next moment, Wang Mang arrived outside the city lord’s mansion.
The familiar figure of the Black Devil King was walking towards him.
Furthermore, Wang Mang also discovered that the Black Devil King’s aura was somewhat unstable.
Upon closer inspection, Wang Mang discovered that the Black Devil King was seriously injured!
Upon seeing this scene, Wang Mang immediately felt that something was wrong. Could it be that the Black Devil King had failed?
Just as the Black Devil King came up and Wang Mang was about to ask, the Black Devil King waved his hand and transmitted his voice:
“We’ve caught him. Go to your seclusion room.. I’ll hand him over to you!”
