To be honest, the Sword Saint has a complex mentality towards Wuming, both respect and hostility. Although Wuming is younger than him, his achievements in swordsmanship are far better than those of the Sword Saint. In this regard, the Sword Saint himself admitted that when the Sword Saint was most energetic, Wuming defeated him, which made the Sword Saint have prejudices, but it also gave the Sword Saint a new goal, giving him a direction to fight for it. Now that he heard that Wuming disappeared, how could the Sword Saint not mind?

"What's wrong with Wuming now? Is there no news?"

Xu Fang shook his head, "There is no news at all. There is no rumor outside that he is dead, but I believe he must be alive. I am afraid that because of his wife's death, he was born to retire from the world, so he let outsiders spread the news of his death in battle. However, I found out the burial place of his wife. If I wanted to find him, as long as I sent someone to stay there, I should be able to find clues. Do I need to send someone to find Wuming?"

The Sword Saint thought for a moment and shook his head, "No need for the time being, Wuming, I will fight him again sooner or later, but not now, don't bother Wuming first."

Although the Sword Saint was a little sad about his younger brother, he then disappeared. He was already aged and used to life and death separation, and his mind was firm, so he would not be easily affected by external emotions.

"I understand, then Sword Saint, let's talk about what will happen to Wushuang City next! Now that the city lord dies, in order to prevent the chaos, I have always acted in the name of the city lord, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, and there will inevitably be flaws in the future. So this time I come to see the Sword Saint, hoping that you can return to the world and return to Wushuang City to take charge of the overall situation. I will give up the position of the city lord in front of everyone, so that the morale of the army can be stabilized."

The Sword Saint looked at Xu Fang with some surprise, "Would you like to give up the position of the city lord?"

The Sword Saint had to be surprised to know that the Wushuang City is one of the two most powerful forces in the world. It can be said that it occupies half of the Central Plains martial arts world. This is a supreme power, and few people can give up the temptation of this power.

"If you plan your position and occupy a high position, you must also bear corresponding responsibilities. Being virtuous and not equitable is the way to cause disaster. My martial arts are more than the city lord, but as the lord of a city, you will inevitably face various challenges, especially the northern world will rise like a new star, and the domineering martial arts can be evenly matched with the city lord. They will inevitably fight in the future. They will most likely be exposed at that time. I really can't take on the position of this city lord! So I can only ask the Sword Saint."

The Sword Saint was silent after hearing this. After a while, he sighed, "Oh, I didn't expect that Yi Fang was so suddenly and had such a big trouble. But I am not suitable to take charge of Wushuang City. Although my martial arts are enough, I have never dealt with Wushuang City's affairs over the years. If you intervene rashly, you will probably make a mess, so you still have to do the position of the city lord."

Xu Fang was a little anxious when he heard this. In fact, the purpose of coming this time was to step down as the city lord, retreat behind the scenes, and let the sword saint be in front of him. However, Xu Fang did not intend to leave Wushuang City, because he also wanted to use Wushuang City's resources to practice. In this way, he could avoid risks to the greatest extent and plan in the dark, so as to avoid becoming the protagonist Nie Feng's experience as in the original plot. However, according to the meaning of the sword saint, he did not intend to succeed as the city lord.

"Sword Saint, are you sure you let me continue to be the lord of this city? You are not afraid that I will take over the enemy and take over your thousand-year-old karma in the Unparalleled City."

"I can see that you don't have much desire for power. I feel more at ease with someone like you who take charge of Wushuang City. Moreover, you pretended to be my brother for so long and managed Wushuang City in an orderly manner. Obviously, it is more suitable for me to handle government affairs than me, so Wushuang City will ask you.

As for other aspects, you don’t have to worry. In return, I will do my best to give guidance on martial arts. Wushuang City has accumulated thousands of years of martial arts secrets or magic medicines that enhance its skills. You can use my resources at will. There is only one to ensure the stability of Wushuang City.”

Xu Fang began to think seriously. In fact, the safest way was to escape as soon as possible and leave Wushuang City. However, if he gave up Wushuang City's resources and wanted to become a strong man, he would probably have to work several times or even dozens of times. If he chose to continue to be the city lord of Wushuang City, he would have to face Nie Feng, who had the halo of the protagonist in more than ten years.

"What should I do? Should I do this city lord? Oh! Wait a minute, maybe I can use the silly boy Dugu Ming to train him for ten years to let him thunder in front of me. And I can take advantage of this period of time to become stronger. If I really get the end of my life, I can also find an opportunity to get out."

Xu Fang finally made a decision and said in the sharp eyes of the Sword Saint, "I am grateful to you for your respect, but I cannot occupy the position of the city lord. Since that is the case, we don't like to make a ten-year agreement, which is limited to ten years. When the young city lord Dugu Ming grows up, I will pass the position of the city lord to him, so I also asked the sword lord to teach the young city lord himself."

At this time, the Sword Saint had completely believed that Xu Fang was not interested in the position of the city lord, otherwise he would not have proposed such conditions. He just thought of Dugu Ming, and he couldn't help feeling helpless.

"Minger? Alas, when Yi Fang was alive, he also mentioned letting Minger follow me to practice martial arts. He hoped that I could teach him well. Unfortunately, Minger's qualifications were not good, and he was spoiled and lacked enterprising spirit. Even if he had Wushuang's reputation to provide the best resources, his achievements would be limited in the future. On the contrary, Menger's qualifications were still above him. Unfortunately, Menger was a daughter and would always get married in the future. Why would the position of the city lord not fall into her?"

Xu Fang murmured in his heart that Dugu Meng was even more a cheater. In the future, he would fall in love with Nie Feng, the culprit who destroyed Wushuang City, and he also paid his life.

Xu Fang thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said confidently: "I don't agree with your words from Sword Saint. The young city lord is not as unbearable as you think. He has insufficient qualifications and can be compensated with diligence. The key lies in whether he has a heart to become a strong man."

The Sword Saint was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is not bad, but Ming'er was born in Wushuang City. As the young city lord, he was spoiled since childhood, and he lacked the heart of a strong man. How can he calm down and practice hard?"

"In the past, it was because of the lack of pressure that the city lord had sheltered him from the wind and rain, and the masters of Wushuang City under his command served him. The city lord was busy with business and took up most of his time because of practice, so he didn't have time to teach him well. But now he has a reason to have to work hard to practice, otherwise Wushuang City's thousand-year foundation would fall into the hands of me, a fake."

The Sword Saint instantly understood what Xu Fang meant, "You mean, are you here to be this evil man and force Ming'er to practice seriously?"

"Yes, as long as he understands the seriousness of the matter, if he does not have enough strength, he may even die, forcing him to become a strong man. If the Sword Saint can trust me, you might as well let me teach the young city lord for a while and see how the effect will be before making a decision."

The sword saint's face changed for a while and nodded in agreement, "Okay, according to you, I hope you can give me a surprise."

"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you. I will definitely train the young city lord to be the most beautiful boy."

After Xu Fang finished speaking, he stood up, walked out and pushed open the door, then raised his hand and slapped it twice. A figure used his light skills and soon came to Xu. "What are the instructions of the city lord?"

"You will immediately return to Wuchuang Twin Cities and pass me the order to let the young city lord come to see me, so there must be no mistakes!"

"Subordinate to obey the order!" The man immediately turned into a black shadow and disappeared quickly.

After Xu Fang made arrangements, he returned to Jianlu and discussed his plans for the future of Wushuang City with the Sword Saint. An hour passed without realizing it. At this time, a sound of rapid footsteps came from outside.

A young man who looked only in his teens pushed the door open and walked in. Although he was young, he had a sense of arrogance on his face, which made people want to beat him up after seeing it.

The young man entered the sword hut and saw Xu Fang and the sword saint, his arrogance on his face slightly restrained, "Dad, uncle, are you asking me for something?"

Needless to say, this young man is naturally Dugu Yifang's son, Dugu Ming, the young lord of Wushuang City. He is a tragic character in the original plot. Not only is his wife robbed, but he also pays his life.
