Zhou Hong said nothing, controlling his demon-subduing pestle, which snaked underground like a tiny water pipe, constantly bending and twisting. A pipe this thin moving underground would be virtually undetectable by most people, and it was deep below the surface, not near the shallow ground.
Thus, Zhou Hong's demon-subduing pestle, as if it had eyes, reached directly beneath the City Lord's mansion. Before long, it emerged from the floor of the City Lord's private room.
Fortunately, no one was in his room, or they would have discovered a tiny pipe emerging from the ground.
Next, the pipe extended onto the City Lord's bed. Zhou Hong, from his home, simply urinated through the demon-subduing pestle, spraying it onto the City Lord's bed from a distance.
Afterward, Zhou Hong controlled the demon-subduing pestle to write a few characters on the wall of the City Lord's room.
"Zhou Hong visited here, bestowing a bed of urine, please accept it, City Lord."
After writing, Zhou Hong quickly retracted the demon-subduing pestle.
Some might worry if the City Lord could trace Zhou Hong's location through that hole, but such worries were entirely unfounded. Zhou Hong had shrunk the demon-subduing pestle to the size of a tiny pen refill. Such a small, winding hole underground would be indistinguishable after it was filled in, especially since the soil naturally contained many tiny crevices.
Unbeknownst to Zhou Hong, shortly after his demon-subduing pestle retreated, several maids entered the City Lord's mansion room to clean.
"Chun Lan, do you smell anything?" one of the maids asked, sniffing.
"It smells like... urine, coming from the City Lord's bed."
"I smell it too. Could it be... the City Lord wets the bed?" another maid asked with doubt.
"Don't talk nonsense, or the City Lord will hear and kill you."
"Then why does the City Lord's bed smell of urine?"
Just then, one of the maids spotted the words on the wall and screamed.
"What's wrong?"
"Quick, look at the words on the wall."
The maids then discovered that the words were left by the very Zhou Hong whom the City Lord had been searching for. The urine on the City Lord's bed was indeed from Zhou Hong.
At this point, hearing the scream, some guards rushed in. They all saw the urine on the City Lord's bed and the words on the wall, and everyone was stunned. The City Lord was currently searching the entire city for Zhou Hong, yet Zhou Hong had silently infiltrated the City Lord's mansion and urinated on the City Lord's bed.
For a moment, everyone found it unbelievable. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought it was slander against the City Lord.
"Quick, go inform the City Lord," said one of the guards.
"Yes."
At this moment, the City Lord had just left Hei Lan Manor, and one of his subordinates was waiting outside.
"City Lord, how was it? Did you find anything by impersonating Hei Xiao Lu? Is that Xiao Cui highly suspicious?" the subordinate asked.
The City Lord grunted with a displeased expression, "I found nothing, but that doesn't mean Xiao Cui isn't problematic."
"This Xiao Cui was also made to undress and be searched before. She shouldn't be Zhou Hong in disguise."
"That's not necessarily true. No one can be certain that Zhou Hong is a man. What if he was originally a woman?"
"This...!"
"Alright, let's go to the next genius's home. I refuse to believe that those 30 demon cultivation geniuses are entirely innocent. The disappearance of my Demon Spring is definitely related to one of them," the City Lord declared with conviction.
Just then, a communication magic artifact on the City Lord's person rang.
"City Lord, bad news, Zhou Hong has appeared," came a subordinate's voice from the artifact.
"Where?" the City Lord roared.
"He secretly returned to the City Lord's mansion earlier, entered your room, urinated on your bed, and wrote a message on the wall: 'Zhou Hong visited here, rewarding you with a bed of urine, please accept it.'"
"Ahhh!" The City Lord roared in fury upon hearing this. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life, causing him to lose control. His roars echoed throughout Wumeng City.
Every corner of Wumeng City heard the screams coming from a certain direction. Many recognized the City Lord's voice, and everyone trembled. They had never seen the City Lord so enraged, and they all secretly speculated about what had happened to make him so distraught.
"Impossible, this is impossible." After tens of seconds, the City Lord, having recovered from his emotional breakdown, shook his head with red eyes, seemingly unable to believe it was true. Urinating on his bed, how could this be possible? If this news got out, he would be laughed to death. He, the dignified City Lord of Wumeng City, had been bullied by an insignificant nobody.
"City Lord, it is absolutely true. You should return and see for yourself."
The next second, the City Lord returned to the City Lord's mansion at lightning speed and rushed into his room.
The maids of the City Lord's mansion naturally dared not act without permission to clean the City Lord's bed. So, when the City Lord entered his room, the urine on the bed was still there, and the words on the wall had not been wiped away.
The City Lord's face turned pale. He quickly rushed forward and stood at the head of the bed, nearly suffocating from the stench of urine.
The City Lord's subordinate used his finger to smear some urine from the bedsheet and said, "The urine hasn't dried yet. It was just passed, at most a quarter of an hour ago."
A quarter of an hour meant fifteen minutes. The City Lord clenched his fists. Fifteen minutes ago, he was at Hei Lan Manor, and he never expected that the audacious Zhou Hong would be urinating on his bed at that very moment.
"Hmph!" The City Lord exhaled heavily in anger, even his breath seemed to carry flames, indicating the immense rage hidden within his chest.
However, this also indirectly ruled out that Xiao Cui from Hei Lan Manor, as he himself was the best witness. Unless Xiao Cui had the ability of cloning, which was clearly impossible; even Demon Emperors might not possess such a skill.
"Very well, Zhou Hong. If I don't find you, I'll change my surname," the City Lord gritted his teeth and said.
"Someone, immediately seal off the entire Wumeng City. The seal will be indefinite, until Zhou Hong is apprehended," the City Lord ordered his subordinates with a face full of fury.
"Yes, City Lord." Hundreds of subordinates immediately went to execute the order.
At this moment, Lian Qingyi also arrived. Seeing the urine on her uncle's bed left by Zhou Hong, she was also filled with disbelief.
Among everyone present, only she had truly interacted with Zhou Hong, and she had even seen Zhou Hong's private parts. Unfortunately, she dared not reveal this matter. At this moment, she could only marvel in her heart that Zhou Hong truly had some capabilities.
