Somewhat eerie

However, this time, it was the people from Huan Ling Sect who treated the City Lord.

The Huan Ling Sect brought out a very rare medicinal herb and cured the City Lord's old ailment.

The City Lord was extremely grateful.

And then promised many more collaborations.

Everyone originally thought that this matter should have been settled.

But two days later, the City Lord's old ailment recurred.

This time, the Huan Ling Sect again produced a rare medicinal herb.

The City Lord also gave up the other half of her family's assets.

The City Lord no longer believed it.

"Now, whether it's my old ailments or hidden injuries, they are all healed. I refuse to believe there's any old ailment left to recur!"

However, two days later.

The City Lord sat in a wheelchair, her lower body completely paralyzed.

The City Lord looked at the sky, her eyes somewhat vacant.

This wasn't a recurrence of an old ailment, but poisoning.

The key was that it was a highly poisonous herb planted in her own courtyard, mixed among ordinary flowers. She wasn't careful while tending to her flowers and plants and was pricked, only later realizing it was a highly poisonous substance.

"City Lord!"

At this moment, a servant quickly came over to salute.

The City Lord closed her eyes slightly.

"So, this time, is it Huan Ling Sect or Four Symbols Sect?"

The servant looked a bit awkward.

"People from other Sects have all come! But regarding this strange poison, they only have speculative methods!"

The City Lord sighed at this moment.

"Old Huang!"

The servant bowed his head and leaned in to listen.

The City Lord couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel like these Sects are coming to me for supplies?"

Old Huang: "..."

If the City Lord hadn't said that, it might have been better.

But once the City Lord said it, Old Huang instantly felt there was some truth to it.

Yet, Old Huang always felt something wasn't quite right.

"City Lord, you've already exhausted your family's assets. Do they still want your entire estate?"

At this moment, the City Lord suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"I find this matter quite strange. How about this, this time I am willing to offer a Spirit Stone mine. Whoever can cure my poison, I will give them the mine."

"Similarly, if I am cured this time and still encounter problems, it means someone is plotting against me behind the scenes!"

Old Huang thought it made sense.

He then quickly spread the news.

With a mine as a reward.

The other Sects went crazy.

Although the City Lord's poison was difficult to cure.

That didn't mean it was incurable.

As the saying goes, under a heavy reward, there are bound to be brave men.

All the major Sects frantically searched for detoxifying medicinal herbs.

But in the end, this task was still taken by the Huan Ling Sect.

The Huan Ling Sect once again used a precious Spiritual Plant to help the City Lord detoxify.

After the City Lord recovered, her good feelings towards the Huan Ling Sect and Four Symbols Sect gradually vanished.

At this point, let alone the City Lord, even people from other Sects realized there was a big problem.

It was simply too strange.

The City Lord's old ailment flared up neither too early nor too late, but precisely when several major Sects arrived simultaneously.

One flare-up would have been enough.

But it recurred repeatedly, and each time it was different.

And at this critical juncture, the Four Symbols Sect and Huan Ling Sect were repeatedly fleecing her!

For a time, Tianyin City fell into an eerie silence.

And when news spread again from the City Lord's Mansion that the City Lord was poisoned again.

This immediately made everyone's scalp tingle.

Because this was no longer an Opportunity arriving.

Hearing this news now was simply a death warrant.

Even the entire Tianyin City began to feel extremely oppressive.

Furthermore, Tianyin City soldiers began to completely surround Tianyin City... At this moment, the Vice Hall Master also became afraid.

"Master Zhou, I can't take it anymore. You don't know, last time I delivered medicinal herbs on the Sect's order, I already saw the City Lord's eyes filled with Killing Intent."

"If they make me go again this time, I guarantee that City Lord will kill me!"

Zhou Ziming read a book while drinking tea.

After listening to the Vice Hall Master's complaints, Zhou Ziming smiled.

"Then don't get involved this time. Although I don't know what method the person behind this is using to make the City Lord repeatedly ill, I'm afraid that person won't give up until they get that Opportunity."

"It's just that he's too impatient, really thinking everyone in the world is an idiot. He's messed with the City Lord so many times that people have noticed the trick. Now with this result, the person behind this is more anxious than anyone!"

At this point, Zhou Ziming let out a chuckle: "I'd like to see if the person behind this will save her this time, or not!"

The Vice Hall Master also felt there was some entertainment to be had.

But suddenly.

The Vice Hall Master felt something was wrong.

"Master Zhou, you're saying, what if in this scenario, the person behind this impersonates you to save her?"

Zhou Ziming: "!!!"

After thinking carefully, it seemed that was indeed the case.

If the person behind this impersonated him at this moment, it would not only make the City Lord resent him, but also the Huan Ling Sect.

Then he would not only offend the City Lord but also become a sinner of the Huan Ling Sect.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Ziming was displeased.

Then he immediately stood up.

"Let's go!"

The Vice Sect Master quickly followed.

The two of them rushed straight to the City Lord's Mansion... Inside the City Lord's Mansion at this moment.

The City Lord looked at Zhou Ziming, who was dressed in the uniform of a Huan Ling Sect Disciple, with a chilling coldness in the depths of her eyes.

"This is a Pill Poison outbreak. If you don't treat it in time, I guarantee you won't live for three days!"

The City Lord's expression was grim.

The person named Zhou Ziming before her was acting very frivolous, even arrogant.

This was simply a blatant provocation.

And the woman with a light veil over her face next to the City Lord also glared at 'Zhou Ziming'.

"What are you, daring to be presumptuous in the City Lord's Mansion? Guards...!"

'Zhou Ziming' raised a hand: "Wait!"

"How about we make a bet!"

The City Lords Daughter still wanted to say something.

The City Lord raised her hand to stop her.

The City Lord then coldly smiled at 'Zhou Ziming'.

"Oh, then tell me, what do you want to bet?"

'Zhou Ziming' smiled slightly.

"If I can cure you, I want your daughter and your family's heirloom, the myriad peaks cauldron!"

"If I can't cure you, you can do whatever you want with me!"

The City Lord narrowed her eyes.

He finally understood the purpose of the person behind this.

"Good, I agree!"

The woman beside him became anxious.

"Father!"

The City Lord waved her hand.

Then she gave her daughter a look.

The woman also quieted down.

But at this very moment.

The City Lord's Mansion's main gate was kicked open.

Everyone was startled and looked up.

Then, everyone saw the real Zhou Ziming, holding a sword, his eyes bloodshot, looking at the identical version of himself.

Before anyone could react, Zhou Ziming instantly transformed into a flash of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he passed the imposter.

Immediately after, Zhou Ziming sheathed his sword.

The imposter instantly transformed into a paper figure, which then burned away.

But Zhou Ziming did not stop.

At this moment, his Flying Sword, carrying thunder, transformed into a long rainbow, instantly piercing into a black shadow.

Only a scream was heard from the black shadow, and then it violently exploded.

Zhou Ziming frowned.

"It got away!"

After dealing with the imposter, Zhou Ziming turned and left.

City Lord: "???"

City Lords Daughter: "???"

Everyone: "???"

The Vice Hall Master had just entered, saw it was over, quickly bowed to the City Lord, and then chased after Zhou Ziming.

At this moment, the entire City Lord's Mansion was eerily silent.
