After seeing Xiong Ba, Shui Qianmo did not make any immediate move to escape.
Xiong Ba is strong, but it is a pipe dream for him to leave himself unscathed.
What's more, the other party's goal this time is to get the ancient ruins. Before entering the sea of blood, the thirteen cities also formed a temporary alliance. He doesn't believe that the other party will attack him at this critical moment.
Facing Xiong Ba's questioning, he replied calmly:
"You should ask this guy from Maple Forest City. He beat up my people and stole their storage rings. I just want to get back the resources that belong to my people."
Shui Dazhuang, Shui Si, and the guy who was knocked unconscious earlier, who were beside Shui Qianmo, heard that the city lord wanted to help them get resources, and they were all filled with righteous indignation and said:
"It was this man who indiscriminately hit me and stole my ring!"
"City Lord Xiong, can you ask your people what they did before?"
"I just need to get my storage ring back. It contains all my savings!"
Although they were very angry, they had reason to be angry.
But what can I do? I also know that there are two Dou Zongs on the opposite side.
Their fists are not as big as the other side's.
Therefore, he restrained himself a little in his anger and dared not shout and curse people as "shameless" or "bastard".
Just stating the fact that they were robbed.
Xiong Ba heard the accusations from the people of Frost City but said nothing.
He had also heard of Lu Yuan's reputation as "Lu Bamao" in Fenglin City.
This incident was consistent with his past impression of Lu Yuan.
However, Lu Yuan is his now.
Even if this was true, he would not blame Lu Yuan for anything.
Moreover, based on his understanding of this person, he must have his own explanation for this matter.
Sure enough, behind him, there was also an angry voice:
"Nonsense! How dare you, a shameless person, to file a complaint first!
It was clearly you who injured me earlier. Don't you deserve compensation for hitting someone?
Those three storage rings are all for my medical expenses!! "
Lu Yuan looked angry.
Those three storage rings had long since turned into his attribute points. What could he use to pay them back?
Besides, why should he pay it back?
When he was on his way, there was no reason to take out the things in his pocket!
The people of Frost City were so angry when they saw this man shamelessly confusing right and wrong that their faces turned red. They immediately started arguing with Lu Yuan from a distance without caring about anything else.
Lu Yuan refused to give in.
The two groups were like two old men quarreling in the vegetable market, pointing at each other and cursing at each other.
After Shui Qianmo stopped his men from doing anything ineffective, he looked at Xiong Badao and said:
"City Lord Xiong, the lords of all the other cities should have gathered. No matter what the truth of this matter is, why don't we wait and gather with the lords of all the other cities to explore the ancient ruins first?"
There is no point in arguing.
Even if the argument yields a result, what good does it do?
It was impossible for him to deal with two Dou Zongs including Xiong Ba by himself, and it was impossible for him to get anything back from that person.
He said that before, not really to get back his subordinates' storage rings.
It's just to occupy the truth.
Xiong Ba is not forcing anything now, which also shows that the other party may not want to conflict with him.
It would be better to give both parties a way out and let them end the matter.
Xiong Ba nodded. He was determined to visit the ancient ruins.
Who knows what kind of dangers are hidden in these Dou Zun-level ancient ruins.
Now that he has suffered heavy losses on the journey to the sea of blood, he absolutely needs Shui Qianmo's strength.
Just as he was about to agree, he heard Lu Yuan shouting:
"What's the truth? Shui Qianmo, you attacked me and almost killed me, and you think you can just let it go so easily?"
After the people from Frost City were stopped by Shui Qianmo, Lu Yuan couldn't find anyone to quarrel with, so he turned his anger towards Shui Qianmo.
As he spoke, he approached Shui Qianmo. Looking at the ferocious expression on his face, it seemed as if he was about to hit someone in the next moment.
Shui Qianmo's face turned cold, and he began to mobilize his fighting spirit. He was ready to gather the [Frost Sky Evil Sword] at any time, and said coldly:
"What do you want to do?".
There is no point in arguing with this person. Since the other party is shameless, he will have another fight with him. If Xiong Ba does not intervene, he is not afraid of the other party.
If Xiong Ba wanted to intervene, he could just leave.
As long as he is determined to escape and pay some price, these two people will not be able to stop him.
Lu Yuan ignored the giant diamond sword that was already condensing in front of the opponent and laughed:
"What should I do? Since you hurt me, you must compensate me. I don't want much. Just hand over your storage ring."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and ice crystals automatically condensed on his body, slowing down his speed.
The giant diamond sword in front of Shui Qianmo was already making a "buzzing" sound, as if it was ready to attack at any time.
At this moment, he looked at Lu Yuan, with murderous intent emerging without any concealment.
Want Shui Qianmo to hand over his storage ring?
This person is really a thief with audacity!
He had been traveling across the foreign lands for two hundred years and had never been insulted like this.
If people knew that he had handed over the storage ring, how could he survive in the Outer Realm? How could he be the lord of Frost City?
This person really has outrageous thoughts.
Shui Qianmo would never do such a self-degrading thing even if he died!
As the giant sword in front of him trembled and hummed, Xiong Ba took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan is indeed too greedy.
If you want Shui Qianmo's storage ring, you can just ask for it.
But no matter what, now that the other party is on his side, he can't let Shui Qianmo get hurt.
Seeing Shui Qianmo's look of wanting to fight him to the death, Lu Yuan knew that this man valued money over his life. It would be unrealistic to get the storage ring from him.
So he had to settle for the next best thing and pointed at the other people in Frost City and said:
"If you don't want to give it, then let them give it."
"What! Shameless!"
"You bastard! How dare you bully Frost City to this extent!"
"You shameless bastard! Even if I die, I will never hand over the storage ring!"
"Shameless bastard! Wishful thinking!!"
At this moment, whether it was people like Shui Dazhuang and Shui Si whose rings had been robbed by Lu Yuan before, or those who had not been robbed before, all exploded and started cursing.
This shameless guy, does he really think that their Frost City is the cash withdrawal counter of a bank?
The city lord is here, yet the other party still dares to be so arrogant.
I'm afraid that from the very beginning, they wanted to use this tactic of retreating to advance, targeting their storage rings!
Such actions are simply a slap in the face of the city lord!
The city lord can't possibly agree!!
Sure enough, Shui Qianmo’s face turned dark and he was about to take action.
But the road is long, and he said with a smile:
"Lord Shui, you attacked me first. I only want the storage rings from your men. I am already giving you face. Are you sure that if we have to fight, you can protect the lives of your men from Lord Xiong and me?"
