Xue Ling smiled faintly after hearing this.
"My opinion on this matter aligns with the City Lord's. Such things must be resolutely stamped out. Otherwise, if we let them off lightly this time, the Jin Family will surely push their luck, which will be detrimental to the stability of Wanhao Immortal City."
Kuang Mei, his skin bronze-colored, set down his teacup and said coldly:
"Once this matter is settled, release the news that the Jin Family secretly excavated another family's immortal stone mine. I'd like to see whether the Jin Family can still remain in Wanhao Immortal City."
Xue Ling frowned.
"I'm afraid that would be inappropriate. Only the Wanqi Family and the City Lord's Mansion know about this matter. If the news gets out, the Jin Family will certainly turn its spearhead on the Wanqi Family, and the grudge between the two families will only deepen."
Kuang Mei raised his thick brows.
"You've forgotten that there is another ascended cultivator who knows of this matter, and she is also a victim. If she cannot swallow her anger and exposes it, the Wanqi Family and the City Lord's Mansion cannot be blamed. Who told them to act so dishonorably?"
Xue Ling considered it and felt that this handling was more prudent, so he nodded in agreement.
That was why Yunxi had the opportunity to meet the City Lord of Wanhao Immortal City and Jin Long, the Jin Family's representative. She calmly recounted what had happened to her. Afterward, she swore a Heavenly Dao oath and, with a face full of grief, begged City Lord Kuang Mei to seek justice for her fallen companions and reclaim justice for the ascended cultivators.
City Lord Kuang Mei nodded indifferently, then turned and asked:
"Jin Long, have you investigated the matter thoroughly?"
Jin Long
