When the City Lord said these words, the atmosphere eased up a bit, and he became a bit more polite when he spoke.

"The reason I called you over today is actually because of what happened yesterday. You also know that after those people went out yesterday, they never came back."

"Although their goal is to go out and fight with the bandits, but you've noticed that there aren't many bandits outside."

"I believe you should understand that with their strength, it's absolutely impossible for them to be trapped outside."

"So what I want to ask is, do you know where they are right now, or do you know where they went?"

"Although I do not have the right to interfere with their freedom, nor do I have the right to let them stay, but if they can stay in the city, then no matter what, they can still be considered a force to be reckoned with."

"But now, they have actually disappeared just like that. What exactly is going on? I don't understand yet. "

Indeed, as far as the mayor was concerned, yesterday he thought that these people would really go out and fight with the bandits outside.

Before Yan Song left, he even asked the mayor to prepare some food for them to celebrate with.

Although the City Lord would not prepare all their meals like Yan Song had said, but no matter what, he still paid more attention to their whereabouts.

If they were just leaving the city to fight, they should be able to return to the Maple City soon.

"I am truly sorry. City Lord, this question of yours is a bit difficult to answer."

"Perhaps in your opinion, I should know about their journey. In reality, you don't even know the relationship between them and me."

"To be honest, I'm not afraid to tell you. If it wasn't for the fact that I have a Condor, they would have thought it impossible to admit that I'm a disciple of the Blood Underworld Sect."

"Thus, even though I have already arrived at this place and am living here with them, there is actually no connection at all between me and them."

"If there's any connection, it's the connection that they've been trying to assassinate me."

Shi Hao had originally wanted to say that the reason that group of people went to war yesterday was also because of him.

It was Shi Hao who thought about it, and did not say these words out loud. It was because some things were better to be hidden in the bottom of his heart.

If he really said these words, then the mayor would probably think that he had no shrewdness at all.

In fact, the mayor would probably think that he was someone who was good at scheming.

Therefore, Shi Hao did not want to talk too much about the relationship between him and Yan Song. As for whether the City Lord would believe his words, that was not very important.

"What?" Aren't you all disciples of the same sect? How can this be? "

"I had always thought that the disciples of your Blood Underworld Sect s were all very united. Today was the first time I've heard of such a situation."

The Mayor felt strange. How could something like this happen between the disciples of such a famous sect?

Therefore, the City Lord felt that Shi Hao's words were extremely incomprehensible to him. This was because, in his opinion, the reputation of the Blood Underworld Sect had always been exceptionally high.

"City Lord, I think you should know that no matter where it is, the human heart is the hardest to guess."

"Especially for a large sect like theirs, the relationship between them is even more complicated. Everything has to be considered as having to do with benefits."

"Actually, before I came to the Maple City, I had never met these people, nor did I say a single word."

"Thus, if we were to talk about the degree of familiarity with this group of people, I think that the City Lord should be even more familiar with them than I am."

"However, according to my estimation, they might have been killed outside and won't be able to return at all."

"When I was on my way here, I met a few ambushes along the way. The strength of this group of bandits is completely beyond their expectations."

"This time, they really underestimated the enemy. You should know that for the past few days, there have always been a lot of bandits outside the city gate."

"However, on the day they left, there weren't many bandits outside the city. Even though we didn't see them, where did they meet the enemy?"

"However, I can imagine that since they are unable to return, they must have encountered a powerful enemy."

"I think since they are here to assist the Maple City, they would definitely not be able to escape so easily."

"After all, the Blood Underworld Sect is not a loose organization. In terms of disciple management, it is actually very strict. If someone were to escape easily, they would definitely be punished."

Regarding Yan Song and the others, although Shi Hao didn't really understand them, Shi Hao believed that they would definitely not be able to escape so easily.

"If that's the case, they might have really met a strong enemy this time. They might have even fallen into their trap."

"So, should we go out and save them now or not? But I think you should know that with our manpower, even if we go out, it's very possible that we won't be able to return."

In front of Shi Hao, the mayor was too embarrassed to say that he would give up on Yan Song and the others, so he could only say this to Shi Hao.

He wanted to test how Shi Hao's reaction would be, and see if Shi Hao had really decided on that.

Furthermore, with the predicament the Maple City was in, he would definitely still need the help of the Blood Underworld Sect.

At this moment, Shi Hao was the only disciple appointed by the Blood Underworld Sect, if the mayor offended Shi Hao, it would be equivalent to offending the Blood Underworld Sect.

Therefore, in front of Shi Hao, the City Lord could not say too much.

But according to the City Lord's wishes, he was absolutely unwilling to leave the city to save Yan Song.

Therefore, when he said this, he did some analysis on his own strength.

It meant that the Maple City's army was weak, and was not suited to be rescued from outside the city.

"I am also aware of the Mayor's worry. The reason why they left this time around was to kill the enemy. Perhaps they have already ceased to exist by this time."

"After all, I'm very clear about the situation in the Maple City. If we really send out our troops, there would definitely be a lot of them, and we'll just eat as many criminals as we can."

"Therefore, I agree with the mayor's idea. Right now, we should consider how to protect the Maple City."

"After all, we are surrounded by those bandits in the city every day. If we stay like this for too long, even if we are not killed by the enemy, we might starve to death in the city."

Regarding Yan Song and the others' questions, Shi Hao did not want to ask too many questions, because regarding all of these, the more Shi Hao said, the more flaws he would reveal.

Therefore, Shi Hao at this time, wanted to quickly change the topic and let the City Master think about other issues.

Although the city master at this time was suspicious of Shi Hao and Shi Hao was clear of this problem, the situation now.

Shi Hao was alone, while the people on Maple City's side were all people in the city. Although Shi Hao came here to support the Maple City, the people from the Maple City wouldn't necessarily believe him.

After all, Yan Song and the others had already caused Blood Underworld Sect's reputation to go bad. No matter how he thought about it, it was difficult for Shi Hao to change the image he had in the eyes of the City Lord.

Therefore, Shi Hao did not care much about his suspicions, since it was already like this, if he tried to intentionally explain himself, it would arouse even more suspicion from the other party.

"Indeed, that is my negligence. At the beginning, I thought that the Blood Underworld Sect would be able to help us solve the problem."

"But looking at the current situation, I think that this idea is a bit difficult. However, I think you should know about the situation in our village."

"With just these troops, how could they possibly escape from the hands of these bandits? Even if we think carefully, we can't do anything about it!"

Actually, the city lord knew that under such circumstances, he would have to think of a solution himself.

But the problem was that the Maple City's forces were too weak, they were not a match for the bandits.

Therefore, the problem at hand was already in despair for the mayor. He couldn't think of any solution to the problem in front of him.

"There is no need for the mayor to despair. You need to know that the potential of a human is limitless. Don't be manipulated by fate at any time."

"Look at my cultivation. I can even escape from the hands of bandits. How much stronger is your cultivation than mine?"

"Since I can escape, there should be a chance for the mayor. So, it's not that hard to protect my life. The hard part is how to make sure that everyone in the city can survive."

"Since you are the lord of a city, you should think for the sake of the people of a city and not only think of your own problems."

In reality, from Shi Hao's point of view, since the criminals had surrounded the place, they must have had a motive.

Therefore, what Shi Hao meant was, if he could satisfy the bandits' requests, without causing too much damage to the Maple City, then he would do his best to satisfy the criminals' requests.

Only by doing this could they preserve the lives of the citizens of a city. Perhaps at this time, this was the only way for them to survive.

Of course, if it was Shi Hao alone, he would definitely not accept such an idea.

It was just that under the current situation, even if Shi Hao was unwilling, it was not what he was thinking.

In any case, Shi Hao could not make the decision here, so it was not good for Shi Hao to interfere with the City Lord's thoughts.

"Actually, I've already thought about it. The only thing I can rely on now is the help from other sects."

"But based on the current situation, it is very likely that the Blood Underworld Sect will not send more people over."

"If we really don't send anyone over there, then we'll just have to ruin everything."

"There are only these people here, and none of us are cowards. We are just a bunch of bandits. If everyone were to fight, we wouldn't be afraid of him."
