Because just now, Ding Chunzi had vowed to slaughter everyone in the great hall.
Under everyone's gaze, Ding Chunzi's body stood up stiffly, like a zombie. Even the arm that was broken by Chu Tian had miraculously recovered.
"You... all go to hell!"
At this moment, a bloody light erupted from Ding Chunzi's body.
The aura emanating from him reached a level that they could not fathom.
At this moment, Chu Tian felt a sense of danger from him.
Ding Chunzi's aura began to swell.
Everyone felt that in the next second, they would die.
Everyone's hearts were filled with terror.
Some had already fallen to the ground.
Among them was the young man who had previously defied Chu Tian.
That young man's cultivation was slightly lower, and he could not withstand the aura that Ding Chunzi was currently emitting.
Chu Tian reached out, and the Moon God's Wrath vibrated on Shenxu Gongzi's body.
It reversed its trajectory and instantly fell back into Chu Tian's hand.
As for Shenxu Gongzi, he was truly drained at this moment.
He was nailed to his body by the Moon God's Wrath, the three-pointed, double-edged blade.
The blood-grooved blade had been continuously draining his blood.
With his cultivation, a hole in the chest would not be fatal.
However, being continuously drained of blood was something even a mammoth could not endure, let alone a person.
As the Moon God's Wrath left his body, his weak frame slumped back onto the stool.
Upon seeing Ding Chunzi's outburst,
Hope flashed in his eyes.
However, in the very next second, his hopeful expression turned to despair.
Swish...
After Ding Chunzi stood up, his aura had been continuously ascending.
It seemed as if he were brewing some peerless killing move.
But in this very second,
His blood-red body exploded directly into a mist of blood.
There was no longer anyone in the great hall.
However, Chu Tian managed to capture his figure appearing at the great hall's upper level.
He was only a hundred meters away from the barrier.
"Damn!"
Chu Tian couldn't help but curse.
This old geezer had been brewing for so long,
And it turned out he was escaping.
"Chu Tian! And Wudu City, await the retaliation of the Yunshui Chamber of Commerce!"
The old fellow in the sky suddenly threw this sentence.
He then charged towards the great formation, producing a锥形法器 (cone-shaped artifact) and forming a seal with his fingers, shooting it towards Wudu City.
"My formation-breaking artifact cone has accompanied me for half my life, and there is no great formation it cannot break. Let me see if this so-called Lin Ran Dizun's Wudu City Great Formation can stop me!"
Crack...
The formation-breaking artifact cone transformed into a stream of five-colored light and directly pierced into the Wudu City Great Formation.
It actually caused a crack to appear in the Wudu City Great Formation.
The formation-breaking artifact, stuck in the great formation, caused the crack to extend from him outwards in all directions.
Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, his body flickered, and he was about to pursue.
Cai Cheng Lord, who had been looking down, lost in thought, suddenly looked up, his eyes shining.
"Deputy City Lord Qiu, immediately take your troops and pursue Ding Chunzi with all your might. If there is any resistance, kill them without mercy!"
As he spoke, he tapped the compass with his finger.
Buzz...
The compass immediately emitted a brilliant light.
And resonating with it was the Wudu City Great Formation.
Buzz...
Crack!
The entire great formation emitted a seven-colored light.
The cracks caused by the formation-breaking artifact cone.
At this moment, they were instantly repaired, and the artifact cone stuck in the great formation.
At the same time, it was directly shattered into powder.
Ding Chunzi, who was controlling the artifact cone, also suffered a backlash.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the bloody light that had been shining on him dimmed considerably at this moment.
Everyone in the great hall, including Chu Tian, was stunned.
Cai Cheng Lord had suddenly issued such an order at this moment.
No one had expected it.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up! That old scoundrel used a blood-bursting pill. With his body, the energy from the blood-bursting pill will be exhausted. Any ordinary person can take him down. Strike while the iron is hot; if he recovers, it will be troublesome!"
By controlling the great formation, countless lightning bolts descended.
Seeing that his attempt to break the formation was in vain, Ding Chunzi's expression became extremely ugly.
The lightning bolts from the Wudu City Great Formation fiercely attacked him.
They were consuming the energy of his pill.
Forcing him to return to the ground, he vanished into the buildings within Wudu City with a flash.
Chu Tian did not pursue.
Instead, he watched Cai Cheng Lord without speaking, unable to fathom what this person was thinking.
If he had remained on the same side as Ding Chunzi,
And used the great formation to encircle and suppress him.
Even in the end, the Yunshui Chamber of Commerce should not have troubled him.
Could it be merely because of Ding Chunzi's threat?
Did he issue this order to eliminate the root of the problem?
That didn't seem right. Even if Ding Chunzi were killed, such news could not have reached the Yunshui Chamber of Commerce.
It would only lead to the Yunshui Chamber of Commerce truly breaking ties with Wudu City.
He should not lack that much sense.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to occupy the position of City Lord.
At this moment, Cai Cheng Lord stopped controlling the formation disk.
The lightning attacks of Wudu City would not attack the interior of buildings.
But he could control forced attacks.
However, he did not do so.
After all, since the curfew had been implemented, everyone was inside buildings.
He did not know where that fellow was hiding, or if he had moved positions.
If he were to rashly attack buildings.
The people inside the buildings would suffer collateral damage.
At this moment, he put away the formation disk and looked up at Chu Tian, who was staring at him.
"Why?" Chu Tian softly uttered these two words.
He directly asked the question on everyone's mind.
Cai Cheng Lord smiled slightly at Chu Tian, called a servant from outside, whispered a few instructions, and then began to speak.
"Do you all remember the statue they toppled two thousand years ago?"
He did not answer Chu Tian's question, but instead faced everyone and asked this question.
Everyone was bewildered as to why Cai Cheng Lord would ask this question.
Many were also thinking.
How could they possibly know about events from two thousand years ago?
Moreover, two thousand years ago, there was a group that attempted to overthrow Wudu's management style, plunging Wudu into a dark period.
It was even a scandal.
Therefore, Wudu's history had greatly simplified this dark period.
To this day, many people no longer mention it.
The toppling of that statue was indeed true.
But no visual records had been left behind.
"I do recall seeing that statue in a civilian's handbook. That statue..."
At this moment, an old man walked over.
Chu Tian sensed that this surge of vitality was withering.
He was nearing the point of eternal separation.
However, this old man's cultivation was the strongest in the great hall.
As the old man spoke, he walked up to Cai Cheng Lord.
Before he could finish speaking, Cai Cheng Lord interrupted him.
"Old General Lin, what do you think of this person..." he pointed at Chu Tian.
Old General Lin's gaze fell upon Chu Tian.
Initially, there was nothing, but after a moment.
His eyes narrowed.
