Lord Wangu had incited public outrage.
The people from the City Lord's Mansion directly drove Lord Wangu away.
"You... you will all regret this."
"When I rise again, all of you who looked down on me today will pay the price."
Lord Wangu ground his teeth so hard they could have shattered; he was practically about to faint from rage.
Being invited over only to be driven away was an utter and complete humiliation.
He hadn't obtained the Black Fire and had nearly lost his life in the process.
He didn't dare linger in the crowd. After shooting Jiang Chen a furious glare, he turned tail and fled in disgrace.
Lord Wangu's departure once again caused an uproar.
Everyone was praising Jiang Chen and cursing Lord Wangu.
It was a classic case of "winner takes all."
When Jiang Chen looked for Lord Wangu again, he found the man had vanished without a trace, having made a shameless escape.
"Hmph. What a petty man."
