The fierce battle ended in a few breaths, and of course, it was not so much a battle as a one-sided massacre.

These Han Ying Pavilion killers whose realm cultivation was only four to five levels of the Martial Dao Realm were not Lu Ping'an's opponents at all.

The previous leader of the killer who released the Dan Devouring Flying Fork Array was also stabbed through by Lu Ping'an with a flying sword in the process of fleeing, and his body was on the spot.

Tian and the master and servant were both injured a lot, but fortunately, they did not hurt the vital point, and their lives were worry-free.

"Brother Tian, hurry up. ”

Hearing the sound of someone speeding on the roof in the distance, Lu Ping'an guessed that reinforcements from Hanying Pavilion should have arrived.

The strength of the other party was unknown, Lu Ping'an didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly took Tian He and the two over the city wall, and stayed away from Wanqiu City along the remote path.

Facts proved that Lu Ping'an's judgment was correct, and not long after the three of them left, more than a dozen killers from Hanying Pavilion arrived at the scene.

Among these killers, there were two hall masters with high cultivation, and no one dared to guarantee that they didn't have hole card killing moves like the Dan Devouring Flying Fork Array.

In the end, the reinforcements who arrived later only found the bodies of a group of companions in the alley, and there was no trace of the target Tian He, and no one knew who rescued him.

On the other side, after Lu Ping'an and the three of them left Wanqiu City, they escaped until twenty miles away, and then gradually slowed down.

"Brother Tian, what happened to the City Lord's Mansion, why were you hunted down?"

After confirming that there were no chasing soldiers in the rear, Lu Ping'an asked the question in his heart.

"Alas!" Tian He, who was resting on a boulder, slammed his knees heavily, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said with tears in his eyes, "It's Tian Sheng, he bought off the killer of Hanying Pavilion, and my father ...... him."

In Tian He's mouth, Lu Ping'an learned that about two hours ago, Tian Sheng, the younger brother of the city lord Tian Yan, led a large number of killers to break into the city lord's mansion and ask Tian Yan to give up the position of the city lord.

This is a long-planned seizure of power, for this day, Tian Sheng not only installed a large number of eyeliner in the city lord's mansion, but also hired a lot of Hanying Pavilion's killer group as a helper.

With mental calculations and unintentionality, coupled with the emptiness of the city lord's mansion, Tian Sheng took control of the situation as soon as he got into the incident.

When the guards fought desperately to find a bloody road and took Tian He to break out of the siege, the City Lord's Mansion was already bleeding.

In addition to Tian He and the two who were rescued by Lu Ping'an, Tian Yan's family, and even the miscellaneous maids in the house were not spared, and they were all ordered by Tian Sheng to be exterminated.

"What a brute!"

After listening to Tian He's narration, Lu Ping'an was furious for a while. He himself has been repeatedly framed by his relatives, so Tian Sheng is definitely the kind of person he hates the most.

"Guard Tian, how many people are here in Hanying Pavilion tonight?"

Seeing that Tian He hid his face and sobbed after he finished speaking, Lu Ping'an couldn't bear to disturb, so he asked Tian Xiao on the side.

"I'm not sure about this, but with Tian Sheng's cautious style, he will definitely hire as much as he can. Tian Xiao pondered for a moment and then replied,

"Over the years, Tian Sheng has relied on the relationship of the City Lord's Mansion to run a number of businesses, and even cooperated with the Hedong Chamber of Commerce, and the amount of wealth accumulated is unimaginable......"

With Tian Piao's words, Lu Ping'an began to rejoice that it was just a group of small minions who surrounded Tian and them just now, otherwise Lu Ping'an would have to put himself in.

"Brother Tian, you are waiting here, I will kill back to the City Lord's Mansion, sword Tian Sheng, and avenge your family!"

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping'an walked up to Tian He, stretched out his hand to put his arm on his shoulder, and said solemnly.

Although it is impossible for him to compete with the brigade of Hanying Pavilion on his own, Lu Ping'an is still very confident in taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate Tian Sheng, an ordinary person.

"No, Brother Lu Xian, you can't go back. Lu Ping'an was about to turn around, but Tian He grabbed his hand and said with red eyes.

"Brother Tian......"

"Don't say it, Tian Sheng must have a master by his side, it's very difficult for you to get it. In addition, of course, the revenge of killing his father must be avenged by himself!" Tian He looked resolute.

"This ...... All right. Now that Tian He has spoken to this extent, Lu Ping'an no longer insisted, "Go, I'll take you to a safe place." ”

......

Seventy miles east of Wanqiu City, Beidi Village.

Instead of farming, the villagers make a living by mining a mineral called cryoblastite.

Ice blast stone, generally speaking, is a kind of spirit stone with a grade below the mortal level.

Although it contains more spiritual energy than in the air, it is not suitable for cultivation and is mainly used as fuel for refining furnaces or alchemy furnaces.

This ice blast stone mine near Beidi Village is one of the properties of the Lu family, and although Tian Sheng killed his brother and took away the position of the city lord of Wanqiu City, he did not dare to send someone to search here.

After Lu Ping'an led Tian and his master and servant to Beidi Village, he found the village chief that night, made up a bluffing identity for Tian He, and asked to take them in.

The village chief of Beidi Village saw Lu Ping'an, who was brought by Lu Tianbo to visit the mine, and was very impressed by this handsome young man.

Since it was a request made by Lu Jiazong's own brothers, the old village chief naturally did not dare to refuse, and vacated the best house in the village overnight for Tian He and the two to live in.

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning pierced through the morning mist, and the top of the mine mountain, Tian He bowed down in the direction of Wanqiu City.

"Brother Tian, recently, you and Tian Guards have been hiding here first, and the news in the village is closed, and no one will go to tell the truth. After settling down Tian He, Lu Ping'an was ready to go back to the city to inquire about the situation.

"Thank you, Brother Lu Xian. Tian He stood up with difficulty and bowed to Lu Ping'an to thank him.

After last night's changes, his relatives left, and he was reduced from the No. 1 son of Tianzi to a commoner, this heavy blow did not make Tian He decadent, but made his actions more calm, and his eyes were not as impetuous as before.

After saying goodbye to Lu Ping'an, Tian He stayed at the top of the mountain until noon before returning to his room to rest.

Before going down the mountain, he turned his head again to look at Wanqiu City, clenched his fists, and said softly: "Goodbye...... Father...... And my weakness. ”

Although he has the bloodline inheritance of the Yellow Order, he was afraid of hardships in the past, and he relied on his father to be the city lord of Wanqiu City, so he has been avoiding cultivation.

But from today, he had to make a change......

Wanqiu City, the city lord's mansion council hall.

Tian Sheng, under the protection of four masked guards, strode into the courtyard gate.

Seeing these four strangely dressed guards, the representatives of the three major families waiting in the council hall, all had a solemn look on their faces.

"Elder Lu, are they ......?"

Ye Wuji, the elder of the Ye family who was sitting next to Lu Tianwang, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"That's right, it's the four ghosts of Dongzhou. Lu Tianwang nodded, and said in a slurped voice, "I really didn't expect that they would become Tian Sheng's guests." ”

Among the killer organizations in Cangwu, the Four Ghosts of Dongzhou are the only forces that can compete for business with the huge Hanying Pavilion.

Although there are only four of them, the Demon Shadow Divine Skill performed by the four ghosts of Dongzhou is extremely domineering, defending and attacking, and can turn any exercise move into intangible, even against the powerhouses of the Shangyuan Martial Realm, they also have the power to fight.

"Hehe, what's so strange about this?" At this time, Chen Xici, the elder of the Chen family who was sitting opposite the two, smiled disdainfully, "The four ghosts of Dongzhou and Hanying Pavilion are just a raccoon dog, since Tian Shengneng invited the entire northwest rudder of Hanying Pavilion, what is so strange about the four ghosts of Dongzhou appearing here." ”

Although Chen Xici showed a strong sense of contempt in his words, when Tian Sheng walked into the council hall, he still obediently closed his mouth, after all, the strength of the four ghosts of Dongzhou was much stronger than him.

"A few people have been waiting for a long time. Tian Sheng arched his hand to the three people in the room and sat down in his seat with a tired expression.

"Shopkeeper Tian, what happened last night?How is City Lord Tian doing now?" Lu Tianwang asked knowingly with a look of seriousness.

"Brother he ......" Tian Sheng took a deep breath and suddenly choked up, "Last night, a killer sneaked into the mansion, my brother has been suffering from wind and heart disease for a long time, and he can't stand the fright, and now he ...... Now deceased!"

"Huh?!" Lu Tianwang pretended to be shocked and deliberately knocked over the teacup in his hand, "What about those killers?"

"Those villains have already been killed by the government guards, so I don't bother Elder Lu. ”

Tian Sheng wiped his face with a handkerchief, then raised his head and said to everyone, "Wanqiu City is a pivotal place, and it cannot be left without an owner for a day, I invite the elders to come here, because I hope that the three major families will come forward to maintain order in the city until a new city lord is elected." ”

"Haha, Shopkeeper Tian said with a smile, the city lord has always been appointed by Luo Tian's side, how can there be an election?" Chen Xici patted the table and said with a playful smile.

Hearing this, Tian Sheng frowned slightly, but his expression immediately returned to normal.

"Don't get me wrong, elders, how dare I, a businessman in Tiansheng District, interfere in the appointment of the city lord?" Tian Sheng said in a straight voice, "But the current situation is grim, Wanqiu Dabi is about to start, and someone must be in charge of the overall situation." ”

"Well, Shopkeeper Tian has a point, the imperial court attaches great importance to this year's Dabi, and it must not be suspended because of the changes in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

At this time, Ye Wuji, who had been silent beside him, finally spoke, "In my opinion, the position of the city lord is not as good as the temporary replacement of the shopkeeper Tian, you are the younger brother of the city lord Tian, you don't have to worry about serving the public, and the court will definitely give understanding." ”

"yes, that's the only way to do it. Lu Tianwang also said, "Over the years, the Tian City Lord has been taking great care of my Lu family, and after I go back today, Lu will definitely try to convince the family master." ”

Lu Tianwang's words were said very cleverly, leaving room for them, and he did not pack the ticket, and he was also hinting at Tian Sheng.

Whether the Lu family can come forward to help in the end depends on Tian Sheng's next performance.

"Thank you Elder Lu and Elder Ye!" After Ye Wuji and Lu Tianwang's words, Tian Sheng finally took a reassuring pill, "Don't worry, I, Tian Sheng, will definitely not let the two families contribute in vain." ”

In fact, early this morning, he repaired the book to Luo Tiancheng, and expressed the imperial court to temporarily replace the city lord of Wanqiu City by himself.

A month ago, Tian Sheng had already sent 100,000 gold to the mansion of the Ministry of Shangshu, as long as he could do a good job of this Wanqiu Dabi, it was only a matter of time before he was transferred from an agent to an official one.

Of course, the premise of everything is the support or acquiescence of the three major cultivator families in Wanqiu City.

"Ahem...... Since Elder Lu and Elder Ye have said so, then I naturally have no reason to object, City Lord Tian, next month's Wanqiu Dabi will rely on you. ”

Chen Xici was originally responsible for singing white faces, and when he heard that Tian Sheng was willing to provide compensation, he immediately expressed his support.

In this way, after some deliberation, the three major families agreed to come forward to maintain order in the city and elected Tian Sheng as the acting lord of the city.

On the other hand, Tian Sheng wanted to provide the Ye family with live feed for the thousand-year-old corpse worm in the clan land for the next ten years, and in addition, the Chen and Lu families also received the same standard of remuneration.

Everyone was happy.
