Chapter 259: The new city lord

The hall of the twelve cities was originally very empty, but at this time it was crowded with people.

In the middle, there were still the Dragon City Lord and the elders, except for the old Zhou Gong who had not participated in the battle of Shibei Mountain, the rest of them were gray-headed rat-faced, their clothes were torn, and they were very cursed.

Sitting in the chairs one by one, they were all gulping tea, and several doctors were busy in the spare part of the hall, and those injured soul master guards were lying in the hall, filled with the smell of burning, and there was a strong smell of blood.

Ao Xuanyun and the yellow-faced students walked into the exhibition, and when they saw this scene, they were also sad in their hearts.

The yellow-faced student sat in his chair, while Ao Xuanyun could only stand, looking at the Dragon City Lord who was bowing his head and sighing, with a smile on his face.

"Dragon City Lord, why are you so depressed, victory or defeat is still a common thing, survive in the situation, don't care too much!"

The Dragon City Lord looked at Ao Xuanyun and sighed again, thinking that if he had listened to Ao Xuanyun's idea two days ago, the army of 100,000 soul masters in the twelve cities guarding the city would not have suffered such a catastrophe.

"City Lord Ao, you have also seen the current situation, less than 10,000 people can escape back from the 100,000 army, but there are millions of otherworldly dinosaurs in the wilderness outside the city, how can we deal with the enemy, do you have an idea!"

Ao Xuanyun looked at several elders, they all looked at him very embarrassed, waiting for him to come up with an idea, at this time Ao Xuanyun really became the savior of the Twelve Cities.

"Of course there is a way to deal with these otherworldly dinosaurs, you don't have to look at me, although there is no 100,000 troops now, but I still have a way to deal with them, and I dare to guarantee that I will win this time!"

"Don't brag, there are millions of dinosaurs outside the city, if it is about soul power, maybe they are not as good as you, but they can conquer the city, but they are not as good as soul power, don't you see the elders of the twelve cities so embarrassed, aren't their soul power deep?"

Hongfeng, who was standing behind Lao Zhougong, listened to Ao Xuanyun bragging and saying big things, and he also bluntly reprimanded.

Old Zhou Gong smiled slightly, patted Hongfeng's hand and said softly: "Don't underestimate him, of course he will have a way to let the Twelve Cities survive this catastrophe!"

"Old Zhou Gong, do you still believe in him now?"

Elder Liang Gong was angry for a while, and he already had some feelings of fire in his eyes, and he also regretted that he had fully supported Elder Gu at the beginning, but now he couldn't stop it, but he lost the lives of 100,000 soul masters, but he didn't believe Ao Xuanyun anymore, no one could fight the millions of dinosaurs outside the city empty-handed, even if the Soul Emperor Yemei came, he couldn't be afraid.

"Of course I believe him, don't you believe him? Do you just abandon the city and surrender? My Yinhai clan is not so easy to bully!"

Lao Zhou has never argued with others when he was fair, but today he made an exception, and his tone was unreasonable.

Ao Xuanyun was shocked at this time, he had never considered "surrendering", and the people in the current situation, surrender is obviously the best way, not only to ensure the safety of the twelve cities, and the people do not have to suffer anymore, as for most of this palace, they can still keep their identity, even if they can't maintain their identity, at least they can live a comfortable life, as for whose territory the twelve cities are, whether it is the territory of the Yinhai clan, or the territory of the Nine Shadows Holy Lord, this is not the key.

"Old Zhou Gong, you live in the Star Palace, and you have not participated in today's war, I don't know how cruel these otherworldly dinosaurs are, my 100,000 army was divided into fire spirits, and many people can't even find a piece of ashes, if you don't surrender, then thousands of people in the city, as well as the people outside the city, how to settle millions of people in my twelve cities, are they all sent to the dinosaurs outside the city for food?"

Elder Gu was a common man at this time, and this 100,000 army suffered this catastrophe because of his self-righteousness, and he actually forgot it all at this time.

Moreover, if there were no these otherworldly dinosaurs, he would have lost more than half of the soul master guards in the battle of Shibei Mountain, and if there was no Ao Xuanyun to intercept it in the Silver Dragon River, then with the army of more than 10,000 beasts in Suiyun, he would have broken through the twelve cities, if so, the twelve cities would have been destroyed.

"Elder Gu, Elder Huang has already reminded you when you were in Shibei Mountain, but you didn't care about the safety of the 100,000 army, fought recklessly, and almost fell into the ambush of the beast army, until the 50,000 army was burned alive in Shibei Mountain, this is what we all saw, is it too late to talk about how to protect the people now!"

There was a provocation in Elder Xie's tone, such a big loss had never been in the Twelve Cities, at this time, of course, he was standing in Ao Xuanyun's camp, and he could no longer let Elder Gu influence the defense strategy of the Twelve Cities.

"Yes, the city lord of Zhongqiu Yun in Shishan Town also reminded Elder Gu, but Elder Gu was obsessed and ridiculed her, Elder Gu didn't have an explanation for this defeat?"

The enchanting princess looked sarcastic, but the meaning was obvious, at the time of the war, Elder Gu looked down on a young girl in the mountains and autumn rhyme, and even the army of more than 10,000 beasts was invincible, this is a fact, it is difficult to escape.

"Elder Gu has also killed a lot of enemies in this battle, and besides, the presence of dinosaurs from the other world has never been expected, you can't attribute the failure of this war to Elder Gu, didn't a few people participate?"

At this time, Ao Xuanyun found that Elder Gu and Elder Lianggong were standing behind Elder Rumeng, she was neatly dressed, and she didn't seem to be involved in this battle, but she obviously appeared in Shibei Mountain, there must be some problems here, Ao Xuanyun stood aside, didn't say a word, just watched these people argue, and wanted to make a judgment.

"Rumeng girl, there is only one commander in this battle, even the Dragon City Lord has no right to give orders, the commander is derelict in his duties, and the three armies are defeated, this is a fact, can we go to help, it is still wrong!"

The yellow face was indifferent, and he looked at it like a dream with cold eyes, and there was a fierce murderous aura in his eyes.

"No need to fight anymore, the 100,000 army has been destroyed, now is not the time to argue here, how to deal with it, this is the immediate danger!"

The Dragon City Lord said loudly, naturally he didn't want everyone to be entangled here.

"City Lord Ao, it's better for you to talk about it. ”

After speaking, the Dragon City Lord looked at Ao Xuanyun, feeling grateful but also disappointed.

"Elder Gu, looking at your appearance, you should be very satisfied, but don't pretend to be so angry, I want to come to the Nine Shadows Holy Lord to remember your first work!"

Ao Xuanyun's words surprised everyone, for this war, he has never thought about it from this direction, even if the 100,000 army is annihilated, he can only blame Elder Gu for being too conceited and careless, and he has never been able to think about Ao Xuanyun, if Elder Gu is the one who colludes with the Nine Shadows, then if he does not listen to Ao Xuanyun's persuasion and takes 100,000 soul masters to protect and be destroyed, it should be a gift to the Nine Shadows Holy Lord, so that the twelve cities have no one to protect and no guards to defend.

"What are you talking about, you little city lord of Taurus Town, you dare to doubt me, do you think that your soul power is really stronger than mine, I want to be taught and understood!"

Elder Gu stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and he obviously looked very aggrieved.

"Don't worry, Elder Gu sit down, I see that the city lord of Ao hasn't finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry, since he is just a small city lord of Taurus Town, you are an elder of the twelve cities, you should have the demeanor and mind of an elder!"

Old Zhou Gong sat opposite, but he spoke very gently and eloquently, not in a hurry at all.

"I propose to remove the Ancient Elder Protection and Soul Cultivation Institute from the position of Elder Huang and replace it with Elder Huang, I don't know what the Dragon City Lord and the other elders think!"

Ao Xuanyun didn't go on with what he said, there were some things he would only have a clue about, and then he should arrange the affairs in the city as soon as possible, so that he could rest assured that he could do his own thing.

"After talking for a long time, it turns out that you have taken a fancy to the position of the city defense and the position of the Soul Seminary, I don't care about this position at all, even the elder I don't want to be anymore, you can take it if you want. ”

Elder Gu smiled at this time, and he was very generous.

"City Lord Ao, at this time, there are less than 10,000 guards in the city, even if you are in charge, what is the point, do you really want to use these more than 10,000 people to fight a million dinosaur army outside the city?"

Elder Mo kept listening, and did not speak, in fact, Ao Xuanyun's words just now had been made very clear, but he didn't know what the point was in fighting for the position of city defense at this time.

"It's not that I want to be the commander of this city defense, but that it should be done by someone who has the ability, I'm talking about Elder Huang, not me, I'm not interested in these false names. ”

After Ao Xuanyun finished speaking, he walked to the side of the yellow-faced student and patted him on the shoulder.

"We support the proposal of the Ao City Lord, and we will serve the Ao City Lord as the guardian commander of the Twelve Cities, and fight the people of the Nine Shades to the end, and we will never allow anyone to want to surrender to the Nine Shadows, which will ruin the reputation of my Silver Sea clan. ”

Elder Xie made his position clear on behalf of Elder Xi, as well as Elder Xu, and the Enchanting Princess.

"Although my old Zhou Gong didn't ask about this city defense, it seems that now it seems that the only one who can save the twelve cities from fire and water must be Ao Xuanyun, the son of the earth spirit!"

"Master, why do you have to push him out, now that there are only a few soul masters left in the Twelve Cities, how can you fight with the dinosaur army outside, didn't you push Xuanyun into the abyss and make him doomed?"

Hongfeng said softly behind Old Zhou Gong, meaning that he really didn't want Ao Xuanyun to take over the twelve cities that were already bound to be defeated.

"I agree with the proposal of the city lord of Ao, and I also agree with the statement of the old Zhou Gong. ”

Elder Liang Gong had to choose a side at this time, he had always supported Ao Xuanyun, but this time the war failed, he was also responsible, the more than 10,000 Qingniu army had lost more than half of it in Shibei Mountain, and he was also very derelict as the commander of the Qingniu Army.

The Dragon City Lord saw that it was time for him to decide.

"From this time on, Ao Xuanyun is the new city lord of the Twelve Cities, so it should be arranged to respect him, and anyone must obey, I should abdicate when I am old, I have been sandwiched among you all these years, and I have worked hard and am very tired. ”

After the Dragon City Lord finished speaking, he stood up and waved to Ao Xuanyun.

Ao Xuanyun was not humble, and walked over directly, sitting in the position of the city lord, while the dragon city lord walked to the back garden by himself, very lonely.

Everyone looked at Ao Xuanyun, he was already the city lord at this time, only in this moment.

"Several elders listened to the order, Elder Xie and Elder Xi were responsible for the resettlement of the people, Elder Xu and Elder Mo were responsible for the needs of food reserves, Elder Liang Gong cooperated with Lao Zhou Gong to strengthen the three-layer soul realm in the Star Palace, the bewitching princess returned to the underground according to the original plan, Elder Huang was responsible for the city defense, closed the east and west gates, and must guard the two gates in the south, and not let a beast or dinosaur enter the city. ”

Ao Xuanyun actually has a plan, but he is not in his position, and he doesn't want to mention it too much, now that he is the city lord, of course he has to make a decision immediately.

"What about me, isn't it true that the new city lord can't even look down on me!"

Elder Gu looked at Ao Xuanyun with a sneer on his face at this time.

"How could I forget you, of course you have the most important things to do, the Granny of the Star Sea Immortal, the blue-clothed protector and the star wish yellow-clothed protector, and the red-clothed protector Manina, should still be waiting for you to drink the celebration wine, how can I be strong, bad people and good deeds, but please Elder Gu send me a message to the Nine Shades Holy Lord, just say that I, Ao Xuanyun, is in this city, no matter how it attacks, I will see it within ten days!"

Ao Xuanyun's words made Elder Gu's face embarrassed, and Ao Xuanyun pointed out the identity of the Immortal Mother-in-law, which undoubtedly debunked Elder Gu's last cover-up.

Ao Xuanyun has always wanted to take Elder Gu as the object of suspicion, after all, Elder Gu has a high position in the Twelve Cities, second only to the Dragon City Lord, if such an identity is said to be a traitor, it will definitely not be believed, but just now I had to be reminded by the old Zhou Gong, and then I realized that the Nine Shadows Holy Lord did not want to destroy the Twelve Cities, but just wanted to destroy the 100,000 troops that the Twelve Cities relied on, so that the Twelve Cities were forced under pressure, and chose to take the initiative to surrender the city, which should have been planned by the Nine Shadows Holy Lord a long time ago.

Therefore, as soon as Elder Gu mentioned this matter just now, Old Zhou Gong broke his purpose, which made Ao Xuanyun confirm that Elder Gu must be the traitor, and the Qingfang sisters were not killed by Xingyuan, but Elder Gu, because the Qingfang sisters must know the identity of Elder Gu through Elder Shu, so if they don't die, Elder Gu's identity will definitely be revealed.

And if the yellow-clothed protector can find Elder Shu in time, it should also be Elder Gu who reports the news and asks Xing Yuan to kill, all of which is in Elder Gu's control, including sending the 100,000 army to death, which is only part of the plan.

"You, you are really a traitor who colluded with Jiuyou, even if I misjudged you, I caused this 100,000 army to die tragically!"

Elder Liang Gong was angry for a while, and he was also in tears, and he couldn't believe it.

"Can I go now?"

Elder Gu no longer concealed it, he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, if he started, he was not sure that he could leave safely.

"City Lord Ao, will you just let him go?"

Ao Xuanyun stretched out his hand and made an invitation.

"You can go, remember to bring my words, and tell the Holy Lord of the Nine Shadows, my old friend, the people are the foundation of the city, if he still wants to get the city completely, don't do stupid things that infringe on the people!"

Elder Gu smiled, and a teleporter had already left the main hall.

"Xuanyun, if you really let him go back, this is to let the tiger return to the mountain, don't you know?"

Hongfeng was very puzzled, since Elder Gu no longer concealed it, he could still let him escape in this hall, if he was let go back, the next time we met, he would be an enemy and an opponent, and with Elder Gu's soul power, ordinary elders were not his opponents.

"Of course I have to let him go back, can't I keep him here to eat?"

Ao Xuanyun was a little helpless, and what he said was confusing.

"The little phoenix Ao City Lord let him go back to show the sincerity of the twelve cities, and it shows that the Ao City Lord and the Nine Shades Holy Lord will solve it on their own, and they will not be angry with others, if they don't let him go back, then the Nine Shades Holy Lord can also be angry with the people, if so, how can we have the ability to protect those hundreds of thousands of people!"

Old Zhou Gong spoke earnestly, was very considerate of Ao Xuanyun at this time, and said what he meant, and the other elders also admired Ao Xuanyun's handling of things very much, and really put the safety of the people first.

"Then let's disperse, I think you're tired!"

Ao Xuanyun stood up, looked at the elders, and walked out of the main hall on his own.

"Little Phoenix, you still follow Old Zhou Gong, these three layers of soul realm are the last barrier, and there must be no loss!"

Before Ao Xuanyun finished speaking, the person had disappeared, and only the voice still sounded in the hall.
