Chapter 450: Regretting Too Late
Hearing the words of the Eighth Elder, Patriarch Liu and the others were once again stunned.
Alchemist Gao Lan was not killed by Jing Yan, then who killed him? In Haofeng City, who else had the ability and the courage?
To be honest, even families like the Liu Family and the Hu Family wouldn’t dare to openly kill a Third-level Alchemist like Gao Lan. The implications of such an action would be far too severe.
"It was the City Lord who personally executed Alchemist Gao Lan," the Eighth Elder exclaimed. "The City Lord’s intention was that Alchemist Gao Lan had brought disgrace to Haofeng City."
"What?"
The breath of Patriarch Liu and the others solidified slightly, as they exclaimed in shock.
Alchemist Gao Lan was executed by the City Lord?
The entire room fell into sudden silence, breathless! They had thought that Gao Lan was killed by Jing Yan, but it turned out to be the City Lord, Yuan Jihu!
"How is this possible? Why would the City Lord kill Alchemist Gao Lan?" An elder gasped in disbelief.
"It should be correct, I have already contacted Gao Lan’s disciple, who was present at the time. According to him, the City Lord showed great respect to Jing Yan at the time," the Eighth Elder said, seemingly unable to comprehend the situation.
Patriarch Liu’s gaze flickered as he compared this news with the information previously relayed by his guards; the answer seemed on the verge of revealing itself. Regardless of what had happened, it was clear that the City Lord’s attitude towards Jing Yan had undergone a drastic change.
"Let’s go! Visit the Zhang Family! How can our Liu Family not offer our condolences when Zhang Min met such a tragic fate?" When Patriarch Liu uttered these words, he spoke with a shameless ease.
