"The young monk would venture to guess that all these talented people should have joined the empire!" Zhou Yang replied to Lao Chi.

"You are quite smart." Lao Chi was not surprised by this. It was perfectly normal for Zhou Yang to think of this.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"Virtue!" Lao Chi curled his lips.

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

After a while, Lao Chi put down his teacup, glanced at Zhou Yang and said, "How are you? Are you interested in serving the empire?"

"That's my honor, little monk. Oh, if only I could save my life."

"Don't worry, the empire won't want a dead person."

"Haha." Zhou Yang laughed twice.

"For your sake, I personally begged the Tea King for mercy. With his eyesight as an old man, he naturally doesn't pay attention to a mere beginning alchemy cultivator." Lao Chi said sternly.

Zhou Yang's face froze.

After taking another sip of tea, Lao Chi smiled: "However, we are good friends. I repeatedly asked His Highness the Tea King to praise you like a flower, and then he agreed to meet you. If

If you behave well, the detoxification will be a piece of cake."

Zhou Yang knew that this guy was trying to make a good sale, but he still felt relieved and hurriedly thanked him.

"Okay, let's go." Lao Chi said that the wind is like the rain, so he asked Zhou Yang to go see the Tea King.

Zhou Yang naturally wanted it and went happily.

At the same time, various factions in Sheri City are gathering and want to march towards the city lord's palace.

The reason for this is because they suddenly discovered that what was rebuilt on the original site of each faction's branch was not a new branch, but a residential area.

The real factions are concentrated in the eastern area of ​​Dongcheng!

It wouldn't matter if it was just like this. What made everyone angry was that thousands of sects, large and small, were built together, one sect next to the other. The big sects occupied a larger area, while the small sects occupied a larger area.

, less than one-tenth of what it was before!

All the factions were angry. What did the City Lord's Mansion mean? Could it be that they were gathered together just to facilitate surveillance and management?

Tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the city lord's palace, demanding an explanation.

Cultivators from other places also heard the news and came. More and more people gathered in front of the city lord's mansion, and soon they reached 300,000!

Faced with this situation, Deputy City Lord Yan Qi negotiated on behalf of the City Lord's Palace.

After listening to everyone's angry stories, Yan Qi looked surprised, and then said loudly: "Everyone, just a few days ago, you promised well and signed the contract document in front of His Highness the Tea King. Why are you here again today?

Is there something going on in the City Lord’s Mansion?”

"When did we agree? The city lord's palace should be rebuilt on the original site of each faction and the original territory should be restored!" someone said angrily.

"Yes, rebuild the original site and return the territory!" Everyone responded one after another.

"It's unreasonable. The City Lord's Mansion will rebuild your rudder for free, and also set up a top-level formation for you for free. And these are all things you personally promised. As evidenced in black and white, there is nothing wrong with the actions of the City Lord's Mansion. But now you are going back on your word.

, do you think that the City Lord's Mansion is made of mud?" Yan Qi faced the crowd without any fear and said with a solemn look on his face.

"What a bullshit contract, it's just deceiving and fooling everyone!"

"That's right, you are just substituting what you have learned, substituting what you have learned, it's shameless!"

"Aren't you afraid that all the factions in the world will attack us?"

"We, the Xingxu Sect, will never agree to this, and neither will any other sect in the world!" At this time, the golden elixir masters of the Xingxu Sect, the largest force in Hezhou, came out more and more, pointing their fingers at Yan Qi and said angrily.

"Bold, you are black and white, you don't know right from wrong, you go back on your word, beat me up, I'll kick them all out!" Yan Qi was furious, waved his hand, and a large number of green-armored guards rushed out from the city lord's palace, each with their swords drawn and charging towards the factions.

Cultivators.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the onlookers retreated one after another for fear of hurting themselves, leaving only tens of thousands of people to confront the blue-armored guards.

"Despicable, shameless!" cultivators from various sects kept cursing. They showed no fear in the face of the wolf-like and tiger-like guards in blue armor, and the war was about to break out.

At this moment, Zhou Yang followed Lao Chi to the gate of the city lord's palace and was stunned when he saw such a formation.

Lao Chi squeezed through the crowd and said coldly: "Deputy City Lord Yan, what is going on?"

When Yan Qi saw Lao Chi, his momentum immediately dropped by half, and he whispered: "I will handle this matter. You should go back to the house quickly. The prince is waiting for you inside!"

"What's going on?" Lao Chi's face became colder and his voice became much louder.

"This...is for the purpose of rebuilding the separate rudders of the various factions. They have gone back on their word and are causing chaos, and they have come here to force the city lord's palace to submit. It is simply treason. The city lord has an order, and anyone who does not listen to the advice will be killed without mercy!"

Although Yan Qi was a peak master in the late Jindan period, he was submissive in front of Lao Chi and could only tell the whole story in a low voice.

"Huh!" Lao Chi snorted coldly and led Zhou Yang straight into the city lord's mansion.

"We must give us an explanation, otherwise the cultivators in the world will not agree!" The tens of thousands of cultivators in the square were excited and stared at Yan Qi.

"The city lord has an order. If you don't disperse within half an hour, you will be killed without mercy!" Yan Qi shouted sternly, his face as heavy as water.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of blue-armored soldiers poured out from the city lord's palace and began to drive away the people.

However, how could the cultivators from each faction just let it go? They refused to leave. The friction between the two sides escalated, and a war was about to begin.

Yan Qi frowned when he saw this scene, but the eyes of the three chief managers behind him flickered with cold light.

At this time, Zhou Yang followed Lao Chi through the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion and headed straight for the lobby.

While walking, Zhou Yang suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure surging down, making his body feel heavy and making it difficult to walk.

He was shocked and didn't know what was happening. In a moment, the pressure became more and more severe, making him breathless.

But who is Zhou Yang? He will never yield in the face of any pressure. At this time, his tenacity also came up, and he tried his best to resist.

However, this sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, and in the end I couldn't even take a step.

Zhou Yang's face turned red, his veins were exposed, and his whole body was surging with mana, fighting the oppression. After a while, his whole body turned red, and the power of the fire metal elixir spurted out, and the surrounding temperature also soared.

After a few breaths, the pressure increased sharply again, and Zhou Yang's originally straight and straight back gradually bent under the pressure.

The fire-element golden elixir in his body rotated at high speed, the spiritual sea churned violently, and a large amount of fire-element power surged out of his body, trying desperately to resist.

However, all these efforts were in vain. The pressure did not ease at all, but instead increased exponentially. Zhou Yang could no longer lift his head.

"No, I can't resist the power of fire. Although my physical body is strong, it won't be able to survive for long without the blessing of mana! What should I do? Is it possible to use the hidden power of metal?" Big balls of sweat fell.
