Chapter 144 Peace never lasts

City Lord's Mansion.

In the study room.

"You are willing to bear it. You have been craving for this meat for a long time and haven't even eaten it yet, so you just give it away like this?"

Zhou Honglin looked at Duan Yixing and couldn't help but tease him.

However, even after teasing Duan Yixing, Zhou Honglin's face showed no joy, but a grimace.

Duan Yixing's expression was not very bad at this time. He glanced at Zhou Honglin and said coldly:

"Since we know fellow Daoist Yue, it is naturally impossible for me to stay with you. If you are still talking about this matter, what are your intentions?

Also, as Taoist Yue said, you hired him to solve the problem of those bandits.

Zhou Honglin, don’t think I’m a fool, I won’t argue with you about some things, just for the sake of Shun Xin Lou!”

Duan Yixing's tone was not very polite, and the smile on Zhou Honglin's face slowly disappeared.

In the study room, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"Ahem...City Master Duan, you must have some misunderstanding."

After a while, Zhou Honglin said with a dry smile.

Duan Yixing glanced at Zhou Honglin.

"You and I don't need to talk about this anymore. I'm just working under Elder Li.

I don’t want to have too much to do with the dispute between Shunxinlou and Elder Li. As long as these things don’t affect my ability to continue being the city lord of Yongxing City, that’s enough.”

Duan Yixing's words were very straightforward. After hearing this, Zhou Honglin smiled and nodded.

"Of course, the main reason is actually the control of these casual cultivators.

This is also the foundation of our Shunxin Building, so regarding this issue, if there are any changes in the jurisdiction.

As the owner of this sub-building, I can’t explain it to my superiors unless I do something.”

Duan Yixing nodded: "Speaking of which, you will be in charge of so many sub-buildings in Xijing for a long time.

Why haven't you been promoted yet?"

"It's not that easy. It's very difficult to release a little bit of the power in the hands of those old guys.

It's fine outside, but if I really go back, I'm afraid my life won't be as carefree as it was outside.

Don't you know this very well?

Otherwise, why didn’t you choose to stay in Yongxing City instead of inside the mountain gate of Lei Jianmen?”

The look on Zhou Honglin's face was obviously helpless.

Hearing Zhou Honglin's words, Duan Yixing's face also darkened. Obviously, it also brought back some bad memories.

"Okay, let's get off topic. We didn't meet today just to complain to each other.

What do you think of this fellow Taoist Yue?

Our bodies are now marked by his dharma seal. In the next period of time, it may be difficult to have freedom.

And you and I know the price we have paid in the past few days. Although we have saved a small life, I am afraid that the situation is not far away from being wiped out. "

After a while, Duan Yixing stopped this topic and turned to the topic of today's interview with a serious face.

At this time, Zhou Honglin's face began to look serious.

“Although the price of handing it over is indeed high enough, I think it’s not too much of a loss.

If we can take this opportunity to gain a relationship like Tianjue Palace, maybe this time, bad things can turn into good things.

However, judging from the fact that Yue Lin did not kill either of us.

His status in Tianjue Palace is probably not high. This time, I am afraid, he is traveling for some reason and is taking this opportunity to accumulate strength."

Duan Yixing nodded. He quite agreed with Zhou Honglin's analysis.

"Even if this is the case, it is a rare opportunity. Tianjue Palace... Even if it is an ordinary disciple, or even a registered disciple, so what?

This may be our only chance to establish a relationship with Tianjue Palace!

For this, no matter how high the price is, so what?

Besides, what can you do even if you don’t want to?

Think about the marks that have been imprinted on your body, and then think about what Tianjue Palace is most famous for?"

Duan Yixing's tone was extremely firm. In the past few days, he had thought about Lin Yue's issue for a long time and finally made a decision for himself.

This Lin Yue, Duan Yixing is determined to follow!

Listening to what Duan Yixing said, Zhou Honglin also had a very complicated look on his face.

However, regarding this issue, his decision and Duan Yixing's decision were very close.

Fortunately, this finally has something to do with Tianjue Palace. Although the beginning is not perfect, it can be regarded as riding on the train.

If he doesn't know how to hit a snake and follow the stick, he is really stupid!

After withdrawing his thoughts, Zhou Honglin felt a little fear on his face:

"[Prisoner's Seal]!"

His tone was full of fear.

It was as if just these three words [Prisoner's Seal] could scare him.

Duan Yixing nodded. Hearing these three words, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"You also know the power of [Prisoner's Seal], so whether we are willing or not, we actually have no choice.

In the past, it was difficult for me to understand why a magic seal could actually make so many monks feel chilled in their hearts when they heard it.

Now that I have personally experienced it, I really have to admit that this ghost thing... is really terrifying!"

A bitter smile appeared on Duan Yixing's face. It was obvious that he had not put any thought or action into this seal recently.

However, the effect and result were obviously not what he expected.

Listening to what Duan Yixing said and seeing the helpless look on his face, Zhou Honglin's mood was not much different.

These days, he has put a lot of thought into this dharma seal on his body.

But in the end, no results were obtained.

"Tell me, is the seal imprinted on our bodies not the [Prisoner's Seal]?"

Although he knew that the possibility was extremely low, out of a sense of luck, Zhou Honglin couldn't help but ask Duan Yixing.

Glancing at Zhou Honglin, Duan Yixing looked amused: "What do you think?"

Although Zhou Honglin did not answer, after listening to Duan Yixing's rhetorical question, Zhou Honglin already understood Duan Yixing's answer.

"With such power, it is estimated that there is no other possibility except [Prisoner's Seal]...

My current strength is probably not even as good as the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and it is still declining rapidly. If I continue like this, I'm afraid..."

Zhou Honglin had a look of helplessness on his face.

Glancing at Zhou Honglin, Duan Yixing naturally understood what he meant by these words, and said to him with some contempt:

"Okay, you guy is too deep in the city and too scheming. If you want me to go with you to talk to fellow Taoist Yue, just say so.

Why do you have to beat around the bush and waste so much time in the end, only to get back to the topic?

Are you tired of talking like this? Is it interesting?"

"Ahem...I'm not afraid that you won't agree..."

Zhou Honglin smiled sheepishly.

"Ha! Whether I agree or not depends on my own considerations. It doesn't matter whether you say it or not.

In this situation, we naturally need to open the skylight and have a talk, otherwise if this [Prisoning Seal] continues to exert its power, we may not be able to defeat even mortals!"

"really!"

Zhou Honglin nodded repeatedly.

Speaking of this, since they had reached a consensus, the two of them naturally did not stop, and immediately left the study and headed towards Lin Yue's mansion.

…

…

Lin Mansion, in the study.

Lin Yue looked at Duan Yixing and Zhou Honglin who were laughing in front of him, with indifferent expressions on their faces.
