Li Ye dressed neatly in a white outfit and followed the visitor to the City Lord's Mansion alone.
The City Lord's Mansion was grand and magnificent, with intricately carved beams and painted rafters, showcasing the wealth and prosperity of Maplewood City. The tall crimson gate was adorned with golden dragon patterns that seemed alive. Two stone lions at the entrance stood fiercely, as if guarding the dignity of this residence. Upon entering the mansion, one could see a courtyard filled with flourishing flowers and trees, rockeries and flowing water, accompanied by the sounds of birds and fragrant blossoms, creating a peaceful scene. Every detail was meticulously crafted, exuding luxury.
As Li Ye walked into the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't help but marvel at its opulence. The decorations inside were extravagantly luxurious, with precious silk tapestries covering the floors, and valuable calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. A massive crystal chandelier hung in the center of the hall, radiating brilliant light. Above in the hall, Mo Tianxing had been waiting for some time.
Mo Tianxing greeted Li Ye with a broad smile and said, "Brother Li Ye has arrived; I have been waiting for you for quite a while."
Li Ye politely responded, "Lord of the City, you honor me. May I ask what this invitation is regarding?"
Mo Tianxing replied with a beaming smile, "Brother Li Ye, no need for formality. Please take a seat." After exchanging a few pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually became more amicable.
With a smile on his face, Mo Tianxing shifted the topic: "I have heard that you seem to have some grievances with Governor Liu Zhang of Jiangnan Road?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ye was taken aback as if struck by lightning. He did not understand Mo Tianxing's true intentions and cautiously asked, "What do you mean by that, Lord of the City?"
Mo Tianxing chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Li Ye need not be nervous; I am not your enemy. I merely wish to mediate and resolve some misunderstandings. I have a letter from Lord Liu for you to review." As he spoke, Mo Tianxing took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ye.
Li Ye carefully accepted the envelope and opened it to find Liu Zhang's handwritten letter inside. The letter read:
"Young Master Li Ye, I have long admired your reputation. Recently, I learned that you harbor animosity towards me due to the matter concerning Feiyan Villa, which saddens me greatly. There are hidden circumstances in this matter that are beyond my control. As for the massacre in Qingyang City, it was indeed perpetrated by Wei Chenghao. I wish to join forces with you to eradicate treachery and restore peace to our world. I hope you will consider this carefully. Sincerely, Liu Zhang."
After reading the letter, Li Ye's emotions surged within him, and his expression changed slightly. Seeing this reaction, Mo Tianxing smiled and said, "Brother Li Ye, Lord Liu truly wishes to resolve misunderstandings with you; this letter is proof of that."
Li Ye pondered for a moment before looking up and saying, "Lord of the City, the contents of this letter do indeed surprise me, but I still need to think it over carefully."
Mo Tianxing nodded in understanding. "Of course, Brother Li Ye, you can take your time. This is all to resolve grievances and work together for the benefit of the people."
Li Ye nodded slightly, feeling a weight on his heart as he speculated more about the intentions of the city lord. Mo Tianxing's gaze was gentle, yet his words carried an undeniable strength; it was clear that this city lord was well-versed in the ways of power.
After some conversation, Li Ye gradually began to formulate some plans in his mind. When Mo Tianxing bid him farewell, he spoke earnestly, "Brother Li Ye, I hope you can understand my concerns. The affairs of the world cannot be accomplished by one person alone; it requires everyone's collective effort."
Li Ye smiled faintly and cupped his hands in gratitude. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Lord of the City. I will consider this seriously."
Mo Tianxing watched as Li Ye departed, his own thoughts beginning to churn. Between their dialogue, it seemed that undercurrents were already stirring, laying the groundwork for future conflicts.
Li Ye clutched Liu Zhang's letter, feeling a mix of emotions. He had witnessed firsthand how Liu Zhang sacrificed the souls of the common people for his own power and influence. The Heavenly Frost Sword had annihilated Feiyan Villa's entire clan, while his subordinate Gao Zhendong was brutal and bloodthirsty; Wei Chenghao had even gone so far as to massacre an entire city. Such bloody facts could not be erased by mere words on a page.
Returning to the inn, Li Ye closed his room door and summoned Liu Fei and Specter. Liu Fei had once been Liu Zhang's minion, while Specter hailed from the Shadow Assassin clan; both were powerful zombies under Li Ye's control. As Li Ye's strength grew, these two zombies became even more formidable, able to speak fluently and behave like ordinary people.
Li Ye looked at Liu Fei and Specter and asked, "Liu Fei, Specter, I need you to confirm a few things for me. In this letter, Liu Zhang claims he is not a villain and that the massacre in Qingyang City was carried out by Wei Chenghao. What do you think about this?"
Liu Fei smiled charmingly and replied softly, "Master~, Liu Zhang's words are untrue. From what I know about them, while Wei Chenghao is indeed responsible for the massacre, his actions are entirely directed by Liu Zhang; he wouldn't dare act on his own. I suspect that Liu Zhang ordered Wei Chenghao to use extreme measures to suppress resistance; Wei Chenghao is merely his blade."
Specter coldly nodded in agreement. "Yes, Master. Liu Zhang is ruthless; he has commanded his subordinates to slaughter innocent civilians more than once to achieve his political goals. I have personally witnessed him preside over sacrificial rituals, sacrificing the souls of common people to enhance his own power."
Li Ye frowned. "Then what about the incident with Feiyan Villa? Liu Zhang claims it was not his intention."
Liu Fei chuckled softly, "Master, Liu Zhang doesn't care at all about the fate of Feiyan Villa. The Heavenly Frost Sword is a treasure he has coveted for a long time, and he would go so far as to wipe out an entire family to obtain it. Feiyan Villa is merely a victim of his ambition."
Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "What about Gao Zhendong? Is his brutality also instigated by Liu Zhang?"
Specter replied coldly, "Indeed, Gao Zhendong is just Liu Zhang's henchman. His violent actions align perfectly with Liu Zhang's intentions. Liu Zhang uses Gao Zhendong's atrocities to intimidate his opponents and solidify his rule."
Li Ye nodded, having gained a clearer understanding of Liu Zhang's crimes. This evidence confirmed that Liu Zhang was indeed a ruthless and unscrupulous villain.
Li Ye asked again, "Liu Fei, Specter, since Liu Zhang is so malicious, what are your thoughts on his actions?"
Liu Fei's eyes sparkled as she spoke sweetly, "Master~, although I am not in control of my own fate, my willingness to serve you as your loyal servant comes from the heart. I am more than willing to dedicate myself to you; just give the command, and I will do whatever you wish. I have no opinions other than my unwavering loyalty to you~."
Specter said coldly, "Master, we will do our utmost to assist you in opposing Liu Zhang. Just give the command, and I will act immediately!"
Li Ye nodded in satisfaction, having made up his mind. No matter how Liu Zhang tried to justify himself, he would not let this brutal governor escape justice. He would use his own strength to avenge the innocent souls.
