Chapter 508: The Seventh Commander of Jiemeng
Of course Qing Xuzi was willing to give up. What he gave up was the lives of others, but all the wealth he left behind belonged to him. He was definitely a ruthless guy who wanted to get rich.
At this moment, Qing Xuzi's image in Zhou Yang's heart had dropped a lot.
There are already more than a thousand cultivators in the main hall of the city lord's palace. The positions of these people are also particular. The more than a hundred people closest to the presiding platform in front are all peak Tianyuan masters. After that, there are cultivators of the seventh level of Tianyuan and above.
A completely dark place.
Zhou Yang asked Murong Yue to stand in the front, while he stood behind him.
Such an arrangement made some late Tianyuan cultivators very dissatisfied and cast unkind glances at Zhou Yang. However, Zhou Yang remained unmoved, ignored those glances, and simply closed his eyes to rest.
However, some people had witnessed Zhou Yang's great power with their own eyes, and the looks they cast were full of respect.
They even believe that Zhou Yang should be at the forefront of Tianyuan peak masters because his strength has far exceeded ordinary Tianyuan peak cultivators.
"Hmph! Boy, I really don't know how high the world is. An outsider can actually stand so far forward. Isn't he afraid that he will lose his footing and fall to pieces?" A cultivator at the eighth level of the Red Armor Tian Yuan snorted coldly.
"Yes, we have made great achievements in the battle to defend the city and killed countless ruthless bandits. We dare not stand forward even though you are worthy of being in the front line. Why don't you just roll to the back?" Chi Jia
Several people next to the cultivator also said secretly.
"Go to the back!" Many people shouted dissatisfied.
Zhou Yang paid no attention to these clamors and still closed his eyes to rest.
"Bold! Although we are outsiders, in order to defend Jiemeng City, we shed no less blood than you and killed no less gangsters than you. For a mere position, we should be so rude. It is really unreasonable!" Murong Yue turned around!
He scolded angrily and then left with a murderous aura.
"Humph, of all of you here, who didn't escape a narrow escape, and who didn't suffer from injuries all over? Even so, we must follow the rules, especially in this City Lord's Mansion, you must follow the rules even more!"
A peak Tianyuan master also released his own aura, blocked Murong Yue's murderous aura, and retorted.
"Yes, everyone must follow the rules!" Many people agreed.
"Shut up!" Just when everyone was about to gather their strength and confront each other again, they were stopped by Liu Xi, the deputy commander who entered the hall.
"Senior Qingxuzi will be here soon. If you still dare to act recklessly, will you be punished by city regulations?" Liu Xi said in a deep voice.
He glanced around at everyone, and then strode to the front row under the high platform, where he stood with the other seven deputy commanders.
Everyone present instantly settled down, and the hall became silent.
At this time, several figures suddenly appeared on the high platform. In addition to the four commanders headed by Xie Ba, there was also an unfamiliar fake elixir master. Not only that, he was also allowed to sit in the middle by the four commanders.
Obviously his identity is very unusual.
There are six stone chairs under the throne, but only five people are sitting on them. Everyone can't help but guess, could there be others besides Qing Xuzi?
Xie Ba, the leader of the four commanders, glanced majestically at the audience, and then said: "Everyone, before Senior Qingxuzi comes in person, I would like to solemnly introduce an honored guest, this one, Jiang Sheng from Suiling City Tongzhou Merchant Alliance, Jiang
Chief!"
After the introduction, he swept away everyone in the audience and continued: "Master Jiang took the time to come here today because he was entrusted by the Merchant Alliance to discuss the reconstruction of Jiemeng with you. I hope you will cooperate and support me.
There is one more thing that I want to emphasize. The life and death of the old city lord is unknown, and the whereabouts of the deputy city lord is also unknown. If things go on like this, it will be extremely detrimental to our realm, Meng. There is no telling when the two bandit coalition forces will come back and massacre the city attached to our realm, Meng.
In order to ensure the long-term peace of our realm and the prosperity of our realm, after a public discussion among the four of us, we decided to elect the city lord at today's meeting to end the evil intentions of the mountain bandits and river bandits and to permanently eliminate future troubles. The following is
, let us invite Senior Qing Xuzi!"
Xie Ba didn't give the people in the audience time to react, and immediately invited Qing Xuzi to the stage after the introduction.
"Is it necessary to choose the city lord? It must be senior Qing Xuzi!"
"That's right, it has to be senior!"
"Senior Qing Xuzi is the best choice!"
Many people in the audience supported Shopkeeper Meng Da.
"Tongzhou Merchant Alliance? Do they want to interfere in the reconstruction of Jiemeng? Isn't Jiemeng City directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Army Alliance?"
"The world is as high as the sky and the emperor is far away. Let's talk about a mere attached city. How can the Heavenly Army Alliance have the time to deal with this place!"
"You don't know, right? Senior Qing Xuzi is a member of the Tongzhou Merchant Alliance!"
There were also private discussions. Although they were not directly opposed, they were obviously suspicious of Qing Xuzi's intentions.
Then there was a brief commotion in the audience.
Zhou Yang knew it well, and it would be strange for the Tongzhou Merchant Alliance not to intervene.
However, the commotion only lasted for a few breaths before being shocked by a majestic figure and calmed down again.
Qing Xuzi calmly appeared from behind and sat directly on the throne.
After he sat down, the four commanders and Jiang Shengcai all took their places.
Qing Xuzi said calmly: "Everyone, after the joint efforts of all the Taoist friends in Jiemeng, we severely damaged the two bandit coalition forces at the cost of blood and drove them completely out of Jiemeng City. Meng was not talented, so he also defeated the bandits Ming Yingtian.
Eradication. This is the result of the concerted efforts and sincerity of all cultivators in the city. It is also the result of the bloody battle of all of you here! Here, Meng would like to thank you all for your hard work!
In addition to killing the bandit leader Ming Yingtian, this battle also killed two fake elixir bandit leaders. One of them was killed by a Taoist friend present. Not only that, but without his generosity, he donated several pieces of fourth-grade souls.
Shi and Meng will not kill Ming Yingtian easily."
"Who is so powerful? Is it one of the four commanders?"
"Who else can kill the fake Dan bandit leader besides the four commanders?"
"That's right! Can you and I get the fourth-grade spiritual stone?"
As soon as Qing Xuzi finished speaking, another burst of whispering came from underneath.
"Haha, do you all here know which master it is? Haha, yes, this person is Zhou Yang, fellow Taoist Zhou, who passed through Jiemeng and took action righteously! Fellow Taoist Zhou Yang led a group of men to fight fiercely with the bandits, and there were many casualties.
Da. As a passer-by, he can help us so generously, which is really a role model for our generation. Jiemeng City owes him a favor. Now, I would like to invite fellow Taoist Zhou to the stage!" Qing Xuzi said loudly.
"Zhou Yang, who is Zhou Yang?"
"Is it that foreign peak Tianyuan master?"
"If he can kill a fake elixir master with his peak Tianyuan cultivation level, is he going to defy heaven?"
"No, that peak Tianyuan master is not Zhou Yang, but someone else!"
"Who is that?"
"We'll find out soon."
Zhou Yang was also stunned. Qing Xuzi gave him a very high evaluation, which made him feel very comfortable. But he just gave him a favor and went on stage. What did he do on stage?
"Haha, fellow Taoist Zhou, please come up and take a seat on the stage!" Xie Ba smiled and said to Zhou Yang.
Everyone's eyes also looked over.
Zhou Yang was shocked, it was okay to go on stage, why did he have to sit down?
It turns out that the sixth spiritual stone chair was actually prepared for me!
Everyone in the audience was immediately shocked. A late-stage Tianyuan boy was able to sit on the stage and become the seventh person in Jiemeng City. Is he really going to defy heaven?
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please!" Xie Ba asked again.
"Oh, this is setting me on fire!" Zhou Yang felt depressed, but he had no choice but to step onto the stage.
"He was the one who killed the fake elixir master? Is it possible?" The cultivators who had made the rude remarks just now couldn't help but feel angry.
They are the peak Tianyuan cultivators or late cultivators, far behind the fake elixir masters. If they anger this person, will there be any good consequences?
"Is it possible? You take away the can and the can, and only the can is left!"
"If you can kill the fake elixir master, you can also sit on it!" Someone gloated.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please take a seat!" Xie Ba said politely.
Qing Xuzi also nodded to Zhou Yang.
"Thank you, senior, thank you all the commanders!" Zhou Yang saluted Qing Xuzi, nodded to the four commanders and Jiang Sheng, and sat at the edge.
"Everyone, someone just said it well, whoever can kill the fake elixir master can also take a seat on it." Qing Xuzi glanced at the people in the audience and said calmly.
The person who just said this sentence was immediately shocked. His voice was as loud as a mosquito or a fly. Besides, there were so many people whispering, but Qing Xuzi actually heard it so clearly. This is terrible. It seems
I won’t dare to interrupt randomly again from now on.
"Not to mention the master of killing fake elixirs, he has already cultivated to the eighth level of Tianyuan under the age of twenty, and has many powerful secret techniques. Which one of you can do it? No! Therefore, he is qualified to sit on the throne.
This position is because he is a genius, a peerless talent that comes only once in a thousand years!"
To be called a once-in-a-thousand-year talent by a mid-stage Jindan master, everyone in the audience was in awe.
He has reached such a height when he is less than twenty years old. His future prospects are limitless and he will definitely become a shining star in Suiling and even Hezhou. Those who ridiculed Zhou Yang and Murong Yue felt regretful.
"Haha, let's get back to the topic. The purpose of our gathering today is to discuss the reconstruction plan. I hope you all can speak freely and work together. Thank you, Commander. You can talk about it first." Qing Xuzi said with a smile.
"Yes." Xie Ba turned his head and bowed slightly, and then said to everyone in the audience: "Xie believes that reconstruction is secondary. The top priority is to elect a highly respected city lord. This is the most important thing.
event!"
"Yes, Commander Xie is right!" Everyone in the audience agreed.
"As the saying goes, people can't move without a head, and birds can't fly without a head. It's absolutely impossible for our Jiemeng City to not have a leader! So I propose that senior Qing Xuzi be the city lord of Jiemeng City. Everyone has
Do you disagree?" Xie Ba pressed his hands down and continued.
"No! Qing Xuzi has great virtues and great strength, so he is the best choice!" Everyone in the audience said in unison.
"Okay, then let's invite the city lord to sit down and receive the ceremony!" Xie Ba turned to Qing Xuzi with a smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
