Of course Qing Xuzi was willing to give up. What he gave up was the lives of others, but all the wealth 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 100 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 at 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 sky 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 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 ignored 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, followed by a murderous aura that pressed him away.
"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, blocking 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 be so arrogant, are you going to 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 a strange-looking fake elixir master. Not only that, he was also given a seat in the middle by the four commanders. His status was obviously 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 Qing Xuzi arrives in person, I would like to solemnly introduce an honored guest, this one, Jiang Sheng from the Tongzhou Merchant Alliance in Suiling City. Chief!"
After the introduction, he swept 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 bandits will come back and massacre the city attached to our realm, Meng.
In order to ensure the long-term peace and 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. Next, 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 there any need to choose the city lord? It must be Senior Qing Xuzi!"
"That's right, it must 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.
There was a brief commotion in the audience.
Zhou Yang knew it well, and it would be strange for the Tongzhou Business 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 Jie Meng, we severely damaged the two bandit coalition forces at the cost of blood and drove them completely out of Jie Meng City. Meng was not talented, and 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 say thank you for your hard work!
In addition to killing the bandit Ming Yingtian, this battle also killed two fake Dan bandit leaders, one of whom was beheaded by a Taoist friend present. Not only that, without his generosity and offering several fourth-grade spiritual stones, Meng would not have easily killed Ming Yingtian. "
"Who is so powerful? Is he 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 whispers came from underneath.
"Haha, do you all here know who the master is? Haha, yes, this person is Zhou Yang who passed through Jiemeng and took action righteously. Fellow Daoist Zhou! Fellow Daoist Zhou Yang led a group of men to fight fiercely with the bandits, and there were many casualties. Big. As a passerby, he can help us so generously, which is really a role model for our generation. Jiemeng City owes him a favor. Next, 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 Daoist 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 immediately went crazy. A late-stage Tianyuan boy was actually 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 putting me on the fire!" Zhou Yang was depressed, but he had to step onto the stage.
"He was the one who killed the fake elixir master? Is it possible?" The cultivators who had just made the rude remarks couldn't help but feel angry.
They are the peak Tianyuan or later cultivators, far behind the fake elixir masters. If they anger this person, will there be any good consequences?
"Is it possible? Take away the affordability and the affordability, and only the energy 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 had just said this 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 was terrible. It seemed like I won’t dare to interrupt randomly again from now on.
"Not to mention the master of killing fake elixirs, at less than twenty years old, he has already reached the eighth level of Tianyuan, and has many powerful secret techniques. Who among you can do it? No! Therefore, he is qualified to sit on This position is because he is a genius, a peerless talent that comes only once in a thousand years!"
To be called a rare talent by a mid-stage Golden elixir master, everyone in the audience was in awe.
He has reached such a height when he is less than twenty years old. His future is unlimited 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 cannot move without a head, and birds cannot fly without a head. It is 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 have any objection?" Xie Ba pressed his hands down and continued.
"No! Qingxu Ziqian is highly respected and powerful, so he is the best choice!" Everyone in the audience said in unison.
"Okay, then please sit down and receive the ceremony, Lord City Lord!" Xie Ba turned to Qing Xuzi with a smile on his face.
"Well, how can Meng be able to take on such a big responsibility if he is not talented? It would be better for you to choose another expert!" Qing Xuzi stood up and waved his hand.
