Chapter 2989

Hearing Xuanyuan Ling's words, the city lord froze in place for an instant, his face was pale, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat.

He always thought that he performed well, but he never thought that Xuanyuan Ling would doubt himself like this.

Not knowing what he did wrong at all, Xuanyuan Ling would directly doubt himself.

I don't seem to be showing any signs of weakness. Could it be that Mr. Messenger is testing himself?

That's right, he must be testing himself. After the tension at the beginning of the attack, the city lord quickly realized that Xuanyuan Ling was testing himself.

Because from the current point of view, Xuanyuan Ling has no evidence at all.

Moreover, those who had been in contact with his wife were all killed by him in advance, and it was impossible to leave any clues.

In this case, how could Xuanyuan Ling suspect himself so quickly.

I couldn't help praising myself, but fortunately I didn't reveal my secrets just now.

Pretending to be calm and looking at Xuanyuan Ling in front of him, the city lord said innocently.

"Master Messenger, the villain does not understand what you mean."

The city lord came directly to pretend to be stupid. I don't understand what you mean, and I don't know what you are talking about at all. This matter has nothing to do with me.

Looking at the city lord who was still stubbornly resisting, Xuanyuan Ling smiled slightly, without the slightest anger.

I have already guessed that this will be the result. People like this will not cry when they see the coffin.

"Do you think I have no proof now?"

With calm eyes, he said in a flat tone, hearing the words, the city lord said unrepentantly.

"My lord, the villain really has nothing to do with this matter."

Still refusing to admit it, seeing this, Xuanyuan Ling didn't bother to say anything, and winked at Xiao Luo, who was at the side, and soon, the wife of the city lord was brought in by a strong man from the temple.

Seeing his wife appear, the city lord was dumbfounded for a moment, and just froze in place, completely unbelievable that his wife would appear here.

After the incident, he immediately sent his wife away.

Moreover, in order to reveal his flaws, he did this matter very secretly, and no one in the entire City Lord's Mansion knew about it.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

He personally sent his wife away and hid her in a place where he thought no one could find her.

I thought it would be seamless to do so, but who would have thought that after a long time, my wife would be found by the temple.

How did this temple find his wife? The mayor couldn't figure it out.

But now is obviously not the time for him to worry about these things. His wife has been found, and the situation seems to be completely different from what he thought.

In fact, the city lord didn't know it at all. Before arriving here, Xuanyuan Ling had ordered someone to secretly investigate the city lord's mansion.

It was found that a woman suddenly disappeared in the City Lord's Mansion, although even the people in the City Lord's Mansion did not know the identity of this woman, and she seemed to appear out of thin air.

On weekdays, the city lord does not allow others to touch this woman at all.

Upon hearing the news, Xuanyuan Ling immediately guessed that this woman might be the long-dead wife of the city lord.

Regarding the past of the city lord, it is naturally not difficult for the temple to investigate.

Knowing that his wife had passed away a few years ago, and since it reappeared now, there was only one explanation.

The city lord colluded with Shiyuanjie, and Shiyuanjie helped him and resurrected his wife.

That's why, from the very beginning, Xuanyuan Ling believed that this matter had something to do with the City Lord's Mansion.

Early on, he ordered people to arrest the wife of the city lord, although the city lord thought he had done a perfect job.

No one could find out what happened to his wife, but he still underestimated the power of the temple.

In the land of all living beings, it is not an exaggeration to say that the temple is determined to find someone, unless it disappears directly from the world, otherwise it is impossible to find it.

Moreover, in such a short period of time, it is impossible for the city lord to take his wife far away.

So it was easier to find, and it didn't take much time for the temple to find this person, and brought him back directly.

Compared with the panic of the city lord, his wife was obviously very calm.

This is also normal, after all, new warriors do not have emotions and desires, so they will not be afraid at all.

Even though she was captured by the temple now, she didn't show the slightest panic.

He glanced at the city lord's wife indifferently, and then fell on the city lord again, Xuanyuan Ling said unhurriedly.

"Now, is there anything else you want to say?"

His wife had already fallen on the body of the temple, and the city lord didn't know what to say for a while, and remained silent, looking at his wife with complicated eyes.

The reason he did all this was because of his wife.

He missed his dead wife too much, and when he learned that Shiyuan Realm could revive his dead wife, the city lord agreed to cooperate with Shiyuan Realm under his obsession.

Although he also knew that the dead wife after resurrection was no longer the person she used to be.

But so what, he just wants to be by his wife's side, even if she has no emotions, and doesn't know what emotion is, but as long as he can look at her every day, he will be satisfied.

Unconsciously, he stepped forward and wanted to come to his wife. Seeing this, just as the strong man in the temple wanted to stop her, Xuanyuan Ling said.

"Follow him."

With Xuanyuan Ling's order, the strong man in the temple stepped aside respectfully, and the city lord also successfully came to his wife's side.

Gently took his wife's hand, although his wife still had a dull expression on her face, as if she didn't feel anything at all.

But being able to hold his wife again, the city lord showed a warm smile on his face.

Gently holding his wife's palm, as if grasping some treasure, refusing to let go.

At this moment, there was only a gentle smile on the face of the city lord, and he said slowly while looking at his wife.

"Actually, I know the means of the source world. The resurrection of the new warrior is no longer the same person as before. It can only be regarded as having the same skin."

"But even so, I'm willing. I don't have too many thoughts. I just want to see her every day when I wake up, to be by her side, and to look at her like this."

"Although, she may no longer have feelings, and she doesn't know what love is, let alone understand my love."

"But even so, I don't care, as long as I can be by his side."

Saying that, the city lord turned his head, and his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Ling, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"My lord, I have no other wish, and I know that I cannot escape death. I only hope that I can be buried with her after death. That is enough, and I hope your lord will make it come true."
