A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

239: Success will come soon!It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call the Houtu Soul Summoning Art a divine technique!

It actually brought the thoroughly dead City Lord back to life, and not a single injury could be seen on his body.

The resurrected City Lord changed his previous attitude and immediately spoke up to stop his powerful personal guard unit, who were about to avenge him.

Then, with a look of infinite respect, he bowed and cupped his fists toward Bai Tian: ”Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!”

Clearly, the City Lord understood that he had died once and that it was Bai Tian who had brought him back to life.

Being able to bring someone back from the dead—such a heaven-defying and peerless method was simply unheard of.

Bai Tian was quite surprised by the attitude of the resurrected City Lord: ”What, you don’t want to fight me anymore?”

The City Lord’s voice was a bit awkward: ”Senior, you must be joking. Even if I and my entire personal guard unit attacked together, we couldn’t possibly be a match for a King Rank Expert like you.”

Bai Tian laughed in spite of himself: ”But my two pets ate up your family’s century-old medicinal field.”

The City Lord hurriedly waved his hand: ”A single medicinal field in the family in exchange for my life is completely worth it.”

Bai Tian smiled: ”So, are we even now?”

The City Lord said urgently: ”No! This old man owes Senior a massive debt of gratitude.”

”The grace of saving my life can never be repaid in a lifetime.”

”If Senior doesn’t mind, please follow this old man back to the Yunbo City Prefecture so that I may host a banquet to show a small token of my gratitude.”

Naturally, Bai Tian couldn’t possibly trust this old City Lord.

Just moments ago, the other party had an attitude of irreconcilable enmity, and now, after being saved, his attitude changed instantly, even inviting Bai Tian to his City Lord’s Prefecture.

He wondered if there was some sort of scheme or plot afoot.

However, with great skill comes great courage; Bai Tian truly wasn’t afraid of any underhanded tricks the other party might have.

Moreover, this old man held the high status of a City Lord within the Yunmeng Prefecture’s borders; he could certainly provide a lot of information.

”Fine.”

After Bai Tian finished speaking, he turned back and gave Emil and the two immortal pets a look.

Only then did the two immortal pets and Emil dissipate their fighting intent.

But as for Jiang Yuebai, Bai Tian did not have her reveal herself, not wanting the City Lord to know of her existence.

This could be considered a hidden trump card.

”Thank you for the honor, Senior. This way, please!”

Upon hearing Bai Tian’s consent, the old City Lord looked delighted and immediately began to lead the way.

The old man’s personal guards, who had followed him for over a century, were seeing their stern City Lord act so politely for the first time, and they were all dumbfounded.

Half an hour later, under the old City Lord’s lead, Bai Tian and Emil arrived at Yunbo City.

This was one of the eighteen cities within the Yunmeng Prefecture, and it was an ancient city ranked among the top five.

As a structure within the Otherworld Blood Domain, it naturally possessed a unique grandeur and exotic flair.

”Senior, this old man is the City Lord of this small city, barely managing the daily lives of over a million people.”

The old City Lord explained slowly with a lowered head as he led the way.

This other world was indeed different; the intelligent beings that existed were not just normal humans.

There were also strange-looking alien beings with multiple heads and arms, long scales and horns, human bodies with snake tails, and wings on their backs.

There were even a dozen or so cacti walking upright, constantly hawking their wares.

Furthermore, there were fluffy beast-kin creatures speaking human tongue, selling weapons.

However, regardless of the species, when they saw the old City Lord pass by, they all respectfully retreated to both sides, knelt on the ground, and shouted for the City Lord’s eternal blessing.

It was clear that this old City Lord’s authority ran deep within his city.

Upon arriving at his prefecture, the old City Lord provided the highest level of hospitality, bringing Bai Tian, Emil, and the two immortal pets to the Yunting Pavilion, which was rarely opened to outsiders.

Before long, young and beautiful alien maidens brought out various rare delicacies, spiritual fruits, and fine wines... Many of the things served were being seen by Bai Tian and Emil for the first time, leaving them greatly amazed.

Even for Bai Tian’s two immortal pets, the old City Lord arranged for dedicated staff to bring over a large amount of expensive spiritual herbs and materials for them to enjoy.

Once everything was served, the old City Lord waved his hand to dismiss all the servants, leaving only himself to accompany them.

Next, the old City Lord took out a piece of talisman jade and crushed it, which transformed into an invisible isolation barrier, turning the area into a world of its own.

After doing all this, the old City Lord suddenly knelt on one knee before Bai Tian.

”Senior, please forgive this old man’s boldness in asking.”

”Are you perhaps not a person of our Blood Domain, but from another world, and have come here to save someone?”

”And the ones to be saved are a man and a woman?”

Bai Tian’s eyes flickered; before he had even opened his mouth to ask, his background had been completely guessed by the other party.

Seeing Bai Tian’s gaze sharpen, the old City Lord hurriedly explained: ”Senior, please do not misunderstand. This old man can guess these things entirely because my daughter recently sent a secret message to me.”

As he spoke, the old City Lord’s eyes turned red, and he said with grief and indignation: ”To tell the truth, Senior, although I am ostensibly the City Lord of a city under the Yunmeng Prefecture, before that debauched Prefecture Lord, I live no differently than a dog.”

When mentioning the Prefecture Lord, the old City Lord gritted his teeth, filled with deep-seated hatred.

”That god-damned Prefecture Lord is of my grandfather’s generation, already three hundred and eighty-seven years old, yet he is boundlessly debauched.”

”Pity this old man’s daughter, Ying Ying, whom I had late in life and cherish as my own life. She just turned 15 this year, yet half a month ago, she was targeted by that old scoundrel, who sent messengers to forcibly conscript her as his 1,131st concubine.”

”Later, my daughter sent a letter weeping, saying that there, she is not only insulted but also frequently beaten and trampled upon by that god-damned old scoundrel, living a life worse than death...”

At this point, the old City Lord was already in tears, his eyes red with hatred: ”He treats my daughter like this; this debt of blood and hatred means this old man and that old scoundrel are irreconcilable.”

When his emotions stabilized a bit, the old City Lord looked calmly at Bai Tian’s half-doubting gaze: ”Senior, recently my daughter secretly sent me a letter, saying that the old scoundrel and his wicked daughter captured a man and a woman, two newcomers from another world.”

”One is to be taken as a concubine, and the other is to be recruited as a son-in-law.”

”My daughter has had contact with them; one is named Liao Fan, and the other is Liu Yanxue...”

As he announced the names, the old City Lord also carefully observed the changes in Bai Tian’s expression.

The originally calm Bai Tian’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing the old City Lord say the names.

”What has happened to them now?”

Seeing the change in Bai Tian’s expression, the old City Lord knew he had gambled correctly and immediately felt a sense of relief.

”Senior, if you truly came here to save those two, then we are allies.”

”In fact, that medicinal field of my family was also being forced out by that old scoundrel as a congratulatory gift for his new concubine.”

”That is why I was so anxious earlier to catch up with your two spiritual pets...”

”If Senior wants to save people, this old man is willing to help you.”

Bai Tian said calmly: ”Helping me, an outsider from another world—what benefit is there for you, other than just saving your daughter?”

The old City Lord swept away his look of pain: ”With me as an inside informant and with your King Rank strength, Senior, there is a 99% certainty of killing that old scoundrel in a single blow.”

”In that case, Senior can take away your friends, and this old man can take advantage of the situation to rise up, perhaps even replacing him to become the new Prefecture Lord of the Yunmeng Prefecture.”

Knowing that Bai Tian was not easy to fool, the old City Lord directly exposed his ambition.

Bai Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that this old fellow’s tragic crying earlier was likely all an act.

This was what he truly wanted!

His desire to rebel against that Prefecture Lord wasn’t really about saving some young daughter; replacing him was the real goal.

Such an ambitious fellow was not to be trusted.

However, they could use each other.

After talking for half an hour, the old City Lord’s eyes were glowing with excitement as he raised a glass of fine wine to toast Bai Tian and Emil.

”Senior, then let us toast in advance to our instant success!”
