When he heard the City Lord's angry reprimand, Wu Zhiming immediately felt as if struck by thunder, his face turning deathly pale.
Shame and self-reproach welled up within him.
Opening his mouth, Wu Zhiming spoke weakly, "City Lord, I… Alright, here's how it is…"
Wu Zhiming wished to explain something, but in the end found himself unable to, so he simply decided to truthfully and thoroughly report the situation to the City Lord without any concealment.
He also informed the City Lord about why he was willing to help Mu Jinyu delay for an hour.
After listening to Wu Zhiming's words, the City Lord's expression changed several times before finally letting out a long sigh, shaking his head in helplessness:
"You're really muddle-headed, so muddle-headed! Yes… Without Brother Mu's righteous intervention, we probably wouldn't have been able to stop those Five Great Demon Kings and would have died under the iron hooves of the beast tide, with Demon Slaying City already trampled over!"
