Led by the City Lord, Lin Chen, Su Yao, and the Man in Red Robe stepped into the City Lord's Mansion. The mansion was magnificent, standing in Yancheng like a grand palace. Inside, carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and bracket sets displayed ultimate luxury and majesty. Every piece of decoration was exquisitely crafted, highlighting the exalted status of the City Lord. The towering, thick crimson gates were embedded with golden rivets, sparkling dazzlingly under the sunlight. Stepping inside, a wide bluestone avenue led straight to the main hall, flanked by various rare treasures that exuded a mysterious aura.
The group entered a spacious hall paved with pristine marble. The walls were inlaid with various precious gems, shimmering with multicolored light under the illumination of the lamps. Hanging from the center of the ceiling was a massive crystal chandelier composed of countless crystal-clear crystals, refracting a dreamlike radiance. With a steady stride, the City Lord took his seat at the head of the hall. His gaze was majestic and sharp like a drawn sword, sweeping over the people below. The main seat was a chair carved from rare wood, adorned with lifelike dragon patterns that seemed ready to soar into the sky at any moment.
"Speak, what on earth is going on here?" The City Lord's voice echoed through the hall, carrying unquestionable authority. His voice was deep and powerful, seeming to pierce straight into everyone's heart.
