The towering city gate opened wide, and everyone waited with bated breath.
Elite soldiers cleared the way and lined up on both sides.
Mu Zixiao, dressed in black brocade, rode a shiny black horse at the head of the team. She had a solemn expression and no smile, but everyone in the city was extremely kind to her.
"The city lord is back!"
"Long live the City Lord!"
"The city lord is back!"
Warm cheers erupted from the crowd, and they waved desperately to Muzixiao.
An old man couldn't help but burst into tears and wanted to kneel down. As soon as he knelt down, everyone around him started to kneel down too.
At this time, the old man was helped up by invisible force, but it was Mu Zixiao who held the reins, paused his steps, raised his right hand slightly, and pulled him up.
Although Mu Zixiao's expression was serious, his eyebrows were gentle. He shook his head at everyone, "I, a citizen of Weiyang City, will not kneel to anyone."
"Long live the City Lord!"
People around him lifted up the old man, and countless people helped up the man who was about to kneel. They raised their hands and cheered together: "Long live the City Lord!"
There were crowds of people on the market, men, women, old and young cheering in unison. The children were carried on their shoulders. Compared with the ragged clothes in the previous months, they were like seedlings that had absorbed enough water. They were once again glowing with touching vitality. The eyes in their eyes There is light and a smile on the face.
Muzixiao finally showed a slight smile in the face of the crowd's cheers. Behind her on the right was Ying Luan, wearing silver armor and holding a spear, guarding her.
Behind him and to the left was Yan Jinfang, who was as cold as ice. Seeing the scene in Weiyang City, he could not remain calm, and his heart was surging.
Xingluo and his party were greeted by Mu Zixiao. Everyone's eyes were red and they all bowed to see him.
Mu Zixiao nodded, dismounted, looked at the people staying in Weiyang City, and couldn't help but pat Xing Luo on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
Xingluo finally couldn't help it and wiped his tears, "If the city lord can return safely, what's the trouble for us? You have done an unprecedented event, and all we have done is to promote this big step." It’s just a small thing.”
Muzixiao smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect you to flatter me."
Xingluo shook his head resolutely, but did not say any more. Instead, he immediately took out a piece of paper and said, "City Lord, this return is a good time to inspire the whole city to overcome the difficulties. This is the imperial order I drafted. You All you have to do is stand on Wangyue Pavilion and let me read it to everyone using the loudspeaker stone, but please take a quick look at the content."
Muzixiao took it and read it quickly, but did not return it to him, but put it away solemnly, "What I said is not an imperial order. Although your content is good, it is too literal. If I need to take this opportunity to inspire everyone, so I will go to Wangyue Pavilion to talk to everyone."
Under everyone's attention, Mu Zixiao walked towards the newly built Wangyue Pavilion. He did not wield his sword, but walked up step by step.
There were constant cheers in the city, and everyone's eyes followed Mu Zixiao until she stood at the highest point of Wangyue Pavilion. She looked around at the people in the Gao Pavilion, and the originally noisy city suddenly became quiet.
In this city of ten thousand people, in this crowded main road, no one spoke anymore, and everyone looked at her eagerly.
Muzixiao looked at the dense crowd below and suddenly regretted. Why did he want to give a speech in such a hurry? The slight social fear that she had overcome resurfaced again, making her feel uncomfortable.
But she saw Ying Luan and Xing Luo standing behind her at some point and placing a few amplifying stones in front of her.
Muzixiao coughed lightly, "Everyone..."
The words were paused, and before he could react, he heard another excited shouting below.
They looked at her lovingly and hopefully, as someone they could trust with their lives.
"As the Lord of Weiyang City, today I, Mu Zixiao, will not talk about articles or empty words here, but will talk about things that are easy to understand.
In this battle of Anyu City, everyone has sacrificed their blood and sweat to save their loved ones. This achievement is not the result of Mu Zixiao alone. The victory of this battle belongs to everyone in Weiyang City and everyone who is oppressed by Anyu City. This honor belongs to every one of you here. "
Whether they were monks or common people, everyone opened their eyes and pricked their ears to listen to her words. He was crushed by the nobles, bullied by the family, and whipped by the world of immortality where the weak preyed on the strong. But now this glorious record, the city lord said, belongs to everyone. It took a lot of effort for them to digest this sentence.
But just such a sentence made them warm in their hearts. This was the recognition of a superior person, a higher-level monk than them, a powerful person who could fight with Yuanying Dzogchen, and recognition of them as ordinary people.
At this moment, they are no longer regarded as ants, but as living people.
"Countless people have told me that in the world of immortality, the jungle of the jungle prevails over strength, and luck, destiny, bloodline, and talent are the most important.
The rules of this world are the rules of the strong. I can't say this is wrong, but if you accept the disaster of Anyu City, you will never get ahead. But now you and I are so insignificant, how can we shake such a behemoth as the Blue Dragon Clan?
So we have to unite. With me, Muzixiao, I can fight against a high-level monk, and with Muzixiao and everyone, I can fight against heaven and earth! "
Mu Zixiao's words were inspiring and ignited a fire in their hearts. Whether they were monks or common people, they were no longer alone in the world of immortality. They were no longer people who only cared about their own future. They became a group. People, a group of people who stick together and work together to survive.
"From now on, in this Weiyang City, under my rule, no matter whether they are monks who can practice or ordinary people who cannot practice, they will be treated equally. Everyone performs their duties. This city is indestructible. Use this place as a torch to burn the entire city. Zhongtian Continent!”
