On the city wall, there are four extremely powerful figures. Three of them are like iron towers, eight feet tall, and have very similar faces. They all hold their fists in front of their chests, and behind their backs, each carries a black iron rod as thick as an arm.
The other person had a scar slashing his face diagonally. He looked very ferocious, with spiritual power surging, making him look like a powerful martial artist at the peak of his powers.
Not to mention forcing his way into Gangnancheng, he even held the guard captain in the palm of his hand. As long as the spiritual power surged in his hand, Qiu Sheng would probably fall instantly.
"Are you the lord of Gangnan City? Where are the remaining four city lords?" A cold voice spread from the four of them, and the figure in black robe slowly raised his head.
Hearing this, Scar visibly trembled, a little disbelieving, and hurriedly looked at the black-robed figure.
"Cheng..." Scar finally swallowed the words on his lips.
"This is..." The three Yao brothers also looked incredulous.
The same goes for the figure in black robe who raised his eyes. After a moment, he looked embarrassed and hurriedly put Qiu Sheng down.
Qiu Sheng escaped from danger and retreated to Scar's side. His face was ugly and he told everything that happened.
When Scar, the three Yao brothers heard this, their expressions gradually softened, and their eyes were full of excitement.
"Okay!" Scar stopped Qiu Sheng and saluted Lu Chen. The three Yao brothers did the same. Qiu Sheng looked incredulous when he saw such a scene.
He patted Qiu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion!"
In the City Lord's Mansion, there were a few people standing sparsely in the hall. Below, six people stood with their hands behind their hands. In front, a young man who looked about twenty years old was scanning the hall. The entire hall was extremely quiet.
"Here we come!" A voice came from outside the hall, and several figures were moving very fast.
"Little friend Lu!" Old Ghost Teng just entered the hall and saluted respectfully with his fists clasped.
"Old ghost, this body of yours?" Lu Chen looked surprised. The skills practiced by Old Ghost Teng are very weird. It is said that after practicing to the extreme, he can transform into a vine. However, during the training, the practitioner's energy will continue to be consumed. If you want to practice to the extreme, Extremely difficult.
This kind of weird skill usually has not been practiced to the extreme, and the practitioner has already become a sacrifice of the skill.
Back then, Lu Chen had helped Old Ghost Teng evolve vines, but he could not help him recover his body. Now, Old Ghost Teng's body seemed to be gradually recovering.
Lu Chen was surprised. He glanced at the three Yao brothers, Scar and others, and found that their strength had also increased dramatically. It had only been a short time since he had left, and the entire Gangnan City had undergone tremendous changes.
"Old ghost!" Another person came in, it was the head of the eight city lords.
"Minghao City Lord!" Lu Chen also saluted.
The person who came in waved his hand and looked at Old Ghost Teng, "Old ghost, the nine of us agreed that in the future Gangnan City will no longer have nine city lords, there will only be one Lord Lu in Gangnan City!"
Hearing this, Old Ghost Teng looked embarrassed and hurriedly apologized to Lu Chen.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Chen couldn't recover. At that time, Gangnan City underwent a huge change. The older generation of city lords only had Ming Hao in front of him, and the fourth and sixth city lords standing not far away. As for Scar, Teng Laogui, and the three Yao clans, All the brothers were later willing to enter Gangnan City and take up positions.
It can be said that in the entire Gangnan City, the older generation of city lords are still the most prestigious.
Among the eight city lords, none of them were named Lu Chen. Although they recognized Gangnan City's Lu Chen as the leader, they did not do so as Ming Hao said.
"City Master Lu, these are our major city masters. No, several of our subordinates have agreed together. Please don't refuse." Ming Hao clasped his fists and wanted to perform the courtesy of a king and minister, but was blocked by Lu Chen.
"Famous city lord, can you please speak clearly!" Lu Chen looked at the hall at a loss. There were some faces he had never seen before.
"Haha, City Lord Lu, look at my subordinate's memory. This is the new City Lord, City Lord Zeyue. He is ranked ninth. There is no room for Brother Lu here!" Ming Hao laughed and added a thirty-year-old to the city. The outstanding man was introduced to Lu Chen.
"City Lord Zeyue!" Lu Chen clasped his fists and saluted. He was not angry because he did not have the title of City Lord. Listening to Ming Hao's words, he seemed to have become the Lord of the Nine City Lords.
"The outside world only knows the eight major city lords of Gangna City. As for Brother Lu and Taoist brother Ze Yue, the outside world doesn't know about it. They can be regarded as the foundation of Gangna City." Ming Hao then spoke, staring at Ze Yue with a little alarm.
Be vigilant.
"City Lord Lu!" Ze Yue returned the salute and glanced at Ming Hao, "I heard that fellow Daoist Lu used his strength as a warrior to kill the seven city lords of Gangnan City. Is that true?"
"Fellow Daoist Ze, please don't be rude!" Old Ghost Teng suddenly said.
Lu Chen frowned and looked at Ze Yue. He found that Ze Yue seemed to be very dissatisfied with him. He nodded with a calm expression.
"Now that I am at the peak of a great martial artist, I have suppressed myself to the level of a great martial artist. I wonder if I can withstand City Lord Lu's attack!" After Ze Yue finished speaking, he suppressed the spiritual power in his body and emitted the spiritual energy fluctuations of a great martial artist.
"Ze Yue!" Ming Hao's face turned ugly. He knew that Ze Yue was dissatisfied with the nine-person agreement. Ming Hao had also tried to persuade him several times that Gangnan City could exist now thanks to Lu Chen. He was not a person who did not want to repay his kindness.
It's natural for Teng Laogui and others. They are originally bandits in the wild. Being bandits is not as comfortable as being a city lord in Gangnan City. Of course, Teng Laogui and others know a little about Lu Chen's strength. The original Teng Laogui was defeated by In Lu Chen's hands.
Ze Yue is different. He is a casual cultivator and is very powerful. Even among the nine city lords of Gangnan City, he can be ranked in the top five. He does not have much sense of belonging to Gangnan City and has never been favored by Lu Chen. Naturally, he has no respect for a samurai. The little monk in the realm didn't like it.
"Do you have any objection to me being the head of the city lord?" Lu Chen suddenly said.
Ze Yue smiled slightly but did not speak. He had his own plan in mind. If this recognized city lord couldn't resist him even as a great martial artist, then he must have no shame in staying.
"So you're acquiescing?" Lu Chen suddenly smiled, "Then you have no objection to Fellow Taoist Ming Hao being the head of the city lord of Nanchang, right?"
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Minghao is the strongest among the nine of us, and he is also the old city lord of Gangna City. I don't think I need to say more about his contribution to Gangna City, right?" Ze Yue looked around, ignoring the ugly faces of everyone.
"That's enough!" Ming Hao looked gloomy, and Ze Yue's words seemed to him a bit too much.
Ze Yue looked forward, "Fellow Taoist Ming Hao, we are good friends, but if you ask me to submit to a young monk in the warrior realm, I'm afraid others would do the same!"
Ming Hao was about to speak, but Lu Chen raised his hand to stop him, "First, I didn't come back to become the Lord of Gangnan City. Second, challenge me?" Lu Chen smiled lightly, "You have to bet something, right?"
"Brother Lu!" Ming Hao spoke again. He wanted to stop Lu Chen. He knew Ze Yue's strength.
"No problem!" Lu Chen waved!
"Okay, if I lose, this Xuanbing long sword will be yours. A Xuanbing long sword is a good treasure for you!" Ze Yue waved his hand, and a green long sword turned into a stream of light and inserted into it. The floor of the hall was buzzing. Among the mysterious weapons, such a long sword was indeed impressive.
"A mysterious weapon?" Lu Chen frowned!
"Why, you can't even bring out a mysterious weapon, can you?" Ze Yue looked sarcastic. As a young man in his twenties with no background, he really didn't believe how powerful the other party's weapons were.
"Ze Yue, you..." Dao Scar looked ugly and took out a long sword and handed it to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, this mysterious weapon is no worse than his long sword!"
Looking at the long knife in front of him, he returned it and said, "Thank you, it's just a mysterious weapon!" Lu Chen chuckled.
"It's really ridiculous. I still don't believe that you, a monk in the warrior realm, can come up with stronger magical weapons!"
Lu Chen sneered and waved, and everyone only saw a red light.
boom!
With a loud noise, Zeyue's long sword instantly shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground. A long spear was thrust into the ground. "I wonder if this broken spear can withstand a mysterious weapon!"
"That's..." The three Yao brothers looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
"This kind of power..." Old Ghost Teng swallowed his saliva.
"Top spiritual weapon!" Scar looked horrified!
"This is an existence that transcends spiritual weapons!" Ming Hao's voice was trembling, and the remaining people looked shocked when they heard this.
Even if Ming Hao didn't speak, when he spoke, everyone's faces were no longer as simple as shock.
Above the spiritual weapon is the martial spirit weapon. The martial spirit weapon is a holy weapon. Only a saint-level strong person can exert its power. Such a terrifying weapon.
Suddenly, a holy weapon appeared in the hands of a warrior-level monk. When word spread, the entire Daluo Dynasty was absolutely driven into madness.
Even the Daluo Dynasty would be destroyed because of this.
Martial spirit weapons, soldiers of saints, are the top existences on the entire continent. This kind of existence makes the greed in his heart more intense.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ze Yue's face turned extremely ugly, but Lu Chen ignored it, "You don't have to suppress your strength. If you beat me, it will be yours!"
The indifferent voice plunged the entire hall into deathly silence.
A monk in the warrior realm fought against a strong man in the peak realm of a great martial artist. If word of this spreads, it will probably cause a sensation in the entire Daluo Dynasty.
Old Ghost Teng had a strange expression on his face, staring at Ze Yue, sneering in his heart, because Lu Chen's good impression of Ze Yue was about to disappear, and he wanted to see how many rounds this Ze Yue could last in Lu Chen's hands!
At the beginning, this existence could easily defeat him and obliterate the existence of the Seven City Lords.
"Why, you don't dare to accept the challenge?" Lu Chen sneered. He didn't have to be the city lord of Gangnan City, but he had to take it. Since there was an unexpected potential threat, he had to remove it.
"A broken holy weapon!" Ze Yue's face turned ugly, and the greed in his eyes disappeared, "I don't have a comparable bet!"
A holy weapon, even if it is broken, is not something that an ordinary venerable person can take out. A cultivator at the peak level of a great martial artist will never see it in his lifetime, let alone take it.
"It doesn't matter, no need to bet. If you lose, you can just follow Minghao City Lord!" Lu Chen waved his hand.
"This..." Ze Yue couldn't believe it. He was the lord of Gangnan City, so he naturally followed the lord Minghao. "This is equivalent to giving yourself a treasure!"
His eyes were overjoyed and he stared at the blood gun, "Does Fellow Daoist Lu keep his word?"
"Ze Yue, you are insulting our view!" At this moment, even the Fourth City Lord, who had never spoken, was a little angry.
Hearing this, Ze became more and more embarrassed. He really thought that this holy weapon was a dream.
"I'm offended!" The terrifying spiritual power surged, and he used all his strength to create a holy weapon.
Seeing Ze Yue using all his strength, many strong men in the hall looked ugly and were about to stop him.
Snapped!
Before they could take action, there was a sound of slaps, and they only saw a figure shot backwards.
"It's Zeyue!" Old Ghost Teng muttered. In his eyes, it would be strange for Lu Chen to lose.
"Yes!" The three Yao brothers nodded, their faces calm, but their hearts were filled with huge waves. They were physically powerful. Just now I could see clearly that the young man in front of me actually slapped Ze Yue away with his physical strength.
No spiritual power was used, no magic weapons were used, just a simple slap!
"Tsk, tsk!" The Fourth City Lord clicked his tongue, with an envious look on his face, "I don't even dare to call you Lu Xiaoyou anymore. The difference is really not even a tiny bit!"
The four city lords looked calm but were horrified in their hearts. When they saw each other for the first time, the latter could only look up to him. After just a short time, his strength was already able to crush him.
Zeyue's defeat was not only expected by Teng Laogui, but also by him. The original scenes were still emerging in his mind.
"Four City Lords, please stop making fun of me!" Lu Chen clapped his hands and looked at Ze Yue who slowly walked in with clenched fists!
"Still fighting?" Lu Chen's face looked a little ugly. Ze Yue contradicted him as soon as he came. Although it was because of his strength, if he still wanted to take action now, he wouldn't mind really helping him stretch his muscles.
Hearing this, Ze Yue smiled bitterly, "I, Ze Yue, am not a person who cannot afford to lose. Since I am the lord of Gangnan City, I will naturally be worthy of this title. As for the gambling battle..." After saying this, Ze Yue's face turned pale when he looked at Lu Chen. Very weird.
"This is the way this world is. The strong are respected. If we are to surrender, we must have the strength to match it!"
"Okay!" Ming Hao raised his hand to stop Ze Yue. Today's Ze Yue did go a little too far.
"It doesn't matter!" Lu Chen waved his hand, "So, now I seem to have the strength to make you submit!"
"Ze Yue, willing to surrender!" Ze Yue bowed respectfully. He also knew that in the fight a moment ago, the young man in front of him had already
Keep it in hand.
"Forget it about surrendering, we just want Gangnancheng to be stronger. Likewise, we have a common enemy!"
"Everyone, since we have no objections, let's fulfill our agreement!" After Lu Chen finished speaking, Ming Hao suddenly spoke and knelt down on one knee.
"No, what on earth do you want to do?" Lu Chen hurriedly helped the people who were kneeling on one knee.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the last time that my subordinates address the city lord like this. From now on, there will be only one city lord in Gangnan City!" Ming Hao spoke again, bowing his head in submission.
When Lu Chen heard this, a strange expression flashed across his face. Ming Hao and a few other people defeated Gangnancheng together, but now it was really handed over to him, which he couldn't accept.
"City Lord, the nine of us have discussed it. Even before my subordinates have entered Gangnan City, you already have a great reputation among the eight city lords. This is also what everyone expects." It was Ze Yue who spoke, which surprised Lu Chen.
"Well, since I am the city lord, you all have to listen to me!" Looking around, Lu Chen suddenly smiled.
"Only the city lord is following his lead!" The hall shook.
Lu Chen smiled, "Well, from now on, there will still be nine city lords in Gangnan City, and Ming Hao will still be the head of the city lords!"
"No..." When everyone heard this, everyone had strange expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they did not expect Lu Chen to do such a trick.
"I'm used to being idle, and I'm not qualified to manage a city. I'll leave this place to you!" Lu Chen drank tea casually and looked at everyone who stood up.
"Gangnan City is here for one day, and this is your home, the city lord!"
"right……"
The corner of Lu Chen's mouth raised, and with a flash of his hand, several palm-sized crystals appeared. In an instant, the concentration of spiritual energy in the hall increased crazily.
"This is..." Old Ghost Teng's throat was dry. Because of his special cultivation method, he was very sensitive to these ore crystals.
"It's all spiritual crystals!" Ming Hao's throat was also dry. For him, such a large spiritual crystal was a legendary existence.
The strong spiritual power that surged in the hall, as well as the somewhat dazzling white light, made the only sound of swallowing saliva in the entire hall.
"Spiritual crystal!" Old Ghost Veng swallowed his saliva. Such a large piece of spiritual crystal was more than enough for him to break through to the Spirit King realm. Even his own vines could evolve again.
Lu Chen said nothing, waved his hand, and the spiritual crystal turned into a stream of light and shot towards everyone in the hall.
"This..." Everyone had different expressions, including disbelief, embarrassment, and shock!
"Give it to us?" Ze Yue's face was weird, he couldn't believe it. Several city lords in Gangnan City had friendships with Lu Chen. The spiritual crystals were extremely precious. The young man in front of him might give it to other city lords, but the possibility of giving it to him was too low.
This is a spiritual crystal!
Who would give this kind of treasure that can cause turmoil in the entire Daluo Dynasty to someone who has been contradicting him since they first met?
But now, the young man in front of him seems to have really given himself.
"Ze Yue is willing to be inferior!" Ze Yue looked ashamed. At this moment, he knew why several major city lords were willing to respect him as their leader, regardless of their strength. He had such a heart that he couldn't compare to himself.
What's more, the latter's strength made his heart tremble. The strength of the opponent's body was too terrifying, making him feel suffocated.
"Stop kneeling!" Looking at the people who were about to kneel down again, Lu Chen said hurriedly.
"Haha..." Loud laughter spread in the hall.
Listening to the loud laughter, Qiu Sheng looked down at the spiritual crystal in his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.
A person walked slowly, "What?"
"City Lord Lu!" Looking up to see who was coming, Qiu Sheng hurriedly knelt down with a look of panic on his face. No one expected that the young man who wanted to force his way into Gangnancheng was not taken seriously by him, but he suppressed him instead. , turned out to be the most influential city lord in Gangnan City.
As the captain of the guard, he had heard that there was such a city lord who was not considered a city lord. He was said to be young and of average strength. He did not expect that the misinformation was so serious and he even encountered him.
"Okay, Gangna City needs guards like you. However, Gangna City is developing and we need to keep a low profile!" Lu Chen patted Qiu Sheng on the shoulder without any intention of punishing him.
"But... City Lord, this spiritual crystal subordinate is really unworthy of me." After saying that, Qiu Sheng directly handed the spiritual crystal back.
"You really don't want it?" Lu Chen smiled.
Qiu Sheng was silent. Who wouldn't want a piece of spiritual crystal? It was a treasure to them.
"Stay if you want!" After saying that, Lu Chen turned and left without waiting for Qiu Sheng to speak.
After everyone asked, they realized that the young man in front of them was just passing by and knew everything. The city lords looked strange, and then shook their heads.
They knew that the city lord who had just taken over as the city lord was planning to become the hands-off shopkeeper again.
"I'm leaving now, but it's better to say a few words clearly." Looking around the hall, Lu Chen spoke. After hearing this, everyone hurriedly put away the spiritual crystals, and the surprise on their faces disappeared, and their faces became serious.
"Although you elected me to be the city lord, you have also seen that you are better at managing the city. I just hope you remember why we came together!" Lu Chen's words made the entire hall fall into silence. .
"City Lord, we understand!" Old Ghost Teng and others nodded and looked at each other, "From now on, the nine of us will live and die together, and we swear to live and die with Gangnan City!"
Lu Chen nodded, and inside, Elder Ge also had a smile on his face. He was worried before, but now it seems that his beloved disciple still has a very high talent for winning people's hearts.
"By the way, I want to ask, why have all of you's strength increased so much in a short period of time? Swallowing pills to seek shortcuts is not a wise idea." Lu Chen was surprised and curious!
"Don't worry, city lord, we just have a little chance!" Ming Hao got the spirit crystal and was in a good mood. With the spirit crystal, several city lords in this hall can easily enter the spirit king realm. The strength of Gangnan City is probably the highest in the entire city. The Luo Dynasty can be ranked at the forefront, and the worries of the past will no longer exist.
"Opportunity?" Lu Chen was curious. The strength of all the city lords had skyrocketed. He didn't think Gangnan City would let all the city lords go out and explore.
Ming Hao seemed to know what Lu Chen was thinking, "Many surrounding cities regard Gangnancheng as a thorn in their side. For so many years, firstly, there is no excuse. Secondly, no one is willing to be the leader. At this juncture, the nine of us naturally cannot Maybe you can go out and wander around at will!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Obviously, they also knew that Gangnan City, a whitewashed city where bandits were nested, was still a thorn in the Daluo Dynasty, and there were still many forces who wanted to remove them.
It's a pity that there are many powerful martial arts masters in Gangnan City, and ordinary forces can't bear it. The forces with the Spirit King in charge will not enmity with Gangnan City innocently.
It is such an embarrassing situation that has allowed Gangnancheng to exist in the cracks for so many years.
"It's because of the secret passage!" Old Ghost Fuji's eyes lit up when he mentioned the secret passage.
"Secret passage?" Lu Chen was puzzled. As far as he knew, there seemed to be only one secret passage in Gangnan City, which was the one they used to escape from the great changes in Gangnan City.
"It's that secret passage. Old Ghost Teng discovered something unusual in the secret passage!" The Fourth City Lord looked worried.
"Something unusual?" When Lu Chen heard this, he suddenly became interested. The secret passage was extremely secret. Only a few city lords in Gangnan City knew about it. There were many unpreventable mechanisms inside, and most people who broke in would most likely die in it. .
Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked at Old Ghost Teng with a strange expression.
"Lord City Lord!" Old Ghost Teng felt a little uncomfortable when Lu Chen looked at him like this.
This look seemed to be looking at his lover!
This can't be blamed on Lu Chen. Recently, he has become addicted to these unusual things.
In the Immortal Spirit Palace, I got a cauldron of unknown origin, and my strength skyrocketed across the ranks. Although the Bai Family Ancient Spirit Array didn't get a chance, Bing Ning broke in and gave me a blood gun, which was also a treasure!
Now that he heard that there was something unusual about Gangna City, Lu Chen's eyes were already shining.
Looking at Old Ghost Teng who was slowly retreating, Lu Chen was startled.
"I'm wondering if I can find a lot of rare treasures if I take you to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. At the very least, I should be able to find a lot of elixirs!" Lu Chen stroked his chin, thinking, and immediately entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains. , he really wanted to take it with him
Old ghost Fuji.
