Chapter 292: Time to Choose Sides

Weisi City, City Lord's Mansion.

Weisi Lei Dun rubbed his somewhat swollen eyes with his thumb and index finger. For the past few days, he hadn't slept for a single minute. Although this was nothing for a powerhouse like him, the things that had happened recently had left him exhausted.

Ever since the Weisi Ruins opened, some people of unknown identity began to appear in Weisi City. These people of unknown identity had been doing shameful things during this period, but Weisi Lei Dun knew they wanted to overthrow his rule over Weisi City. However, some time ago, they were only making small disturbances and didn't do anything major.

But during this period, these people of unknown identity actually began major actions. First, they assassinated personnel of the five major guilds in Weisi City, and then the vice presidents. The five major guilds had a total of eleven vice presidents, and now nine had already been assassinated. If the remaining two hadn't been protected in time, they might not be left now, and these two vice presidents were now in Weisi Lei Dun's City Lord's Mansion.

This wasn't the end of it. After these two vice presidents hid in the City Lord's Mansion, these people of unknown identity did quiet down for a period of time, but it was only for one day. One day later, they began to target the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, first one or two, then the number slowly increased, and finally, almost one-third of the officials were killed.

For a time, all officials were in danger, and some even resigned, hoping to avoid being hunted down. However, it was of no use. These people were originally there to overthrow Weisi Lei Dun's rule, and the more chaotic Weisi City was, the better. How could they let go of those related to Weisi Lei Dun? Therefore, those who resigned also became targets of those people of unknown identity. And because those who resigned had already resigned, it meant that the Weisi City officialdom would no longer protect them, making them easier to be killed. Therefore, except for a small number of people who were finally protected by Weisi City, most of them were killed.

Although Weisi Lei Dun would not protect those who resigned, because the matter happened in Weisi City, and these things happened in Weisi City, it would also cause panic, so he had to manage it. Finally, he also protected some of those who resigned, and at the same time strengthened precautions, finally temporarily stopping the actions of those people of unknown identity.

But unfortunately, those people had just been silent for a period of time and began to act again, and this time the target became the various major families in Weisi City. However, after some people died, those people suddenly stopped, and afterward, many families began to move, and the matter began to subside.

Regarding the above, although Weisi Lei Dun had done many things and had some results, and had also caught some people, these people were very resolute. As long as they were caught, they would self-destruct and die. So, until now, it was still unknown who these people were.

These things made Weisi Lei Dun very angry, but he was helpless, and the constantly occurring assassination incidents made him feel exhausted.

Seeing the files on his desk about the things that had happened recently, he then turned his head to look at a name that was placed separately on the side, circled with scarlet cinnabar. Weisi Lei Dun couldn't help but rub his somewhat swollen eyes again, then spread his hands, and his whole body fell backward, leaning against the back of the chair.

At the same time, in a secret room somewhere in Weisi City, a group of people wearing cloaks, completely covering their figures, not wanting to be seen who they were, were waiting anxiously, constantly looking toward the high platform. Clearly, the person they were waiting for was the person who was going to sit on the stool. And on the chair on the high platform in the front middle, it was empty, but two people stood beside the chair.

Unlike the people below, although these two people also wore cloaks, completely covering themselves, they didn't have any anxiety; instead, they looked at these anxious people faintly, standing there quietly.

The person standing on the left only looked at the people below for a while, then raised his head, no longer looking at the people below, completely with a look of disdain. And the person standing on the right was different from him, always looking at the people below, sneering with disdain in his heart, and then said: "What are you arguing about? Whatever happens, Lord Venerable will decide for you."

"You—", "Yes, Lord Right Protector." Hearing the contemptuous words of the person called the Right Protector, the people below were clearly very angry, but most of them forcibly endured it and didn't say anything. However, there were still people who couldn't help but want to curse, but were stopped by the people beside them.

Although the person who was stopped didn't say anything, he thought in his heart: "Hmph, as expected of a dog. In front of the Venerable, he has a look of fawning, and now that the Venerable is not here, he is here to bully others by relying on the Venerable's power. No, it should be called bullying others by relying on the dog's power."

Although that Right Protector wore a cloak, he didn't hide his aura. The people who came here all had good cultivation, and through aura sensing, they had long known who that Right Protector was.

"You, unconvinced by me?" Perhaps seeing that the person was unconvinced by him, he immediately said with a glare.

"You—" The person who wanted to curse before opened his mouth again, wanting to curse.

"I didn't let you come here for you to argue. If you want to argue, go out and argue." A middle-aged voice full of vitality came, but this voice didn't enter their ears from a certain direction; instead, it was directly imprinted into their sea of consciousness.

"Respectfully welcome Lord Venerable." After hearing this voice, the noisy voices before immediately became quiet, and all the people became very respectful. Even that Right Protector shut his mouth and then put away his arrogant posture, becoming very respectful, and shouted loudly together.

And amidst the shouts of everyone, a figure slowly appeared on that empty chair. The figure slowly changed from virtual to real over time, and finally became a child about one meter tall.

That's right, it was a child, and that middle-aged voice full of vitality just now was made by him. This seemed very strange. This child was very young, looking only four or five years old from the surface, but he actually made a middle-aged voice full of vitality, and everyone present was very respectful to him. Everyone was standing, only he could sit.

However, for such a strange thing, these people seemed to have become accustomed to it and didn't show any look of surprise. Clearly, they had experienced such things many times.

"I already know about your affairs. Isn't it just that the Lei Dun family submitted your names? What's the big deal? But since this is the case, it's also time to let them choose sides." After that child arrived, without waiting for the people below to say anything, he spoke first.
