Chapter Eighty-Three: The City Lord's Mansion
The quaint and atmospheric City Lord's Mansion sits in the southernmost part of Yaoguang City, occupying one-fifth of the size of the southern city of Yaoguang City. In the past, the City Lord's Mansion was simply a holy place in the soul master's heart. The abundant soul power is like a huge treasure, and anyone who is close to this place can feel the pleasure of pure soul power nourishing the body. Being able to be lucky enough to come to the City Lord's Mansion to deal with some official business is really the happiest thing for the errand runners of various families.
The City Lord's Mansion is still the City Lord's Mansion. However, today's City Lord's Mansion is very different from that year. In the walls of the deep palace, from time to time there was a loud sound of drills and the crisp sound of gold and iron intertwined.
Not only that, but starting this morning, the City Lord's Mansion no longer allows outsiders to come and go inside and outside. But the people in the city lord's mansion are not decreasing but increasing, and inside, there are full of secret sentries standing guard. They were watching the turmoil inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion. Once anyone makes any magical moves, they will be watched by the eyes of the shadows, as if they have entered a state of full preparation.
And here, it has now become one of the base camps of the one hundred and eight giant Kou of Xingluo, and Zhou Dongye, the head of the Zhou family, also came here today.
Today's Star Luo One Hundred and Eight Giants are scattered within the vast territory of the three major empires because they were scattered by the three major empires of the Soul Suppression Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Avalanche Empire. And because the three empires are wanted, they haven't been relieved for so many years. However, this branch in Yaoguang City is undoubtedly much stronger than it was decades ago.
Of course, the biggest reason is that because they have occupied the "City Lord's Mansion", a national weapon, whether it is a strong man sent by the court of the Soul Suppression Empire or a ranger in the three empires, they can flatter and greet each other, and they have never been caught making a mistake, nor have they shown a little bit of their feet. After all, no one would have imagined that the former Star Luo One Hundred and Eight Giant Kou would be able to do such a big thing of changing the tanuki for the prince.
Therefore, they were able to endure and wait for decades, and only then could they develop and expand enough manpower to set up such a terrifying formation as "a thousand dreams in one night" in Yaoguang City.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the base of the huge Star Luo One Hundred and Eight Giant Kou spread all the way to the end of the line of sight. Among the more than ten martial arts arenas, they were incomparably wide, and from time to time there were figures flashing, all kinds of scolding, sword collisions, and even the faint soul power mist in the air had been diluted a lot. The remnants of the one hundred and eight giant Kou of the Star Luo that had been lurking for decades finally ushered in the day of their emergence today.
In the center of the City Lord's Mansion, a magnificent hall crawls here like a beast, and its wide open door is like a bloody mouth that selects people to eat, faintly exuding an extremely terrifying meaning. Today's Yaoguang City City Lord's Mansion is already completely different from the original City Lord's Mansion, and it has expanded more than ten times in the past few decades. Outside the main hall, there were many red-clothed guards with gloomy faces, who had already taken off the official uniforms of the Soul Suppression Empire that were originally used as a disguise, and instead put on the clothes of the Star Luo One Hundred and Eight Giant Kou Incident back then. This red color, full of bloodthirsty desire, makes all the people look even more terrifying.
In the City Lord's Mansion, there are many people standing quietly in the main hall at this moment, including Zhou Dongye, the head of the Zhou family who fought with Liu Qingshan that day, is also here. However, Zhou Dongye, who had the peak strength of the Soul Fighting Master, was also extremely quiet at this time, and did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest. There was a hint of jealousy in everyone's eyes, looking at the old man standing on a high place, not daring to make any movements, nor daring to make a trace of abnormal noise.
The old man was also dressed in a red robe, and the "Milky Way Star Map" was painted on the robe. On the chest, the words "Ninety-Seven" are outlined with gold thread. On the left sleeve, there is a sword pattern depicted, this is not an ordinary sword, but the horcrux "Seven Star Sword" used by the founding monarch of the Star Luo Empire, one sword kills, one sword kills! It has the ability to reverse life and death, but it is a pity that such a heavy weapon of the country was not lost when the three major empires besieged the Star Luo Empire, which is really infinitely regrettable.
He had gray hair and looked like an old man. However, there is a drama mask on his face, and the mask is hideous and terrifying, and he looks like a red-faced wise general. The old man closed his eyes slightly, and when he slowly opened his eyes, a pair of gray eyes flashed from time to time with a purple essence that made people feel cold. Just looking at this person can make people feel cold sweating, and they hurriedly look away, not daring to look directly at him.
Although he is an old man, who in the entire hall dares not to be afraid of the power that this person has? This person has been secretly cultivating the "Blood Soul Tree" in the City Lord's Mansion for decades, and most of the soul power generated by the Blood Soul Tree has been absorbed by him alone, how can his strength be limited to the number "ninety-seven" now, he is even more terrifying now than he was decades ago, even Zhou Dongye can't imagine how much strength this person in front of him has.
In his opinion, it is more appropriate to describe it as unfathomable.
In the entire City Lord's Mansion, who else could have such strength and prestige except City Lord Ye Shen and the Ninety-seventh Giant Kou Shen Xincheng of the Former Star Luo?
"These days, have those families in Yaoguang City made any moves?" There was silence in the hall for a long time, and then Shen Xincheng slowly raised his eyes and said lightly.
As Shen Xincheng spoke, everyone in the hall couldn't help but shake their bodies. After hesitating for a moment, one of them bowed down and said, "Chief, although all the families in Yaoguang City have news from time to time, they have not made any response until now. ”
"How is it possible?" Shen Xincheng smiled dumbly, and sighed: "It is possible for one family to realize later, but how can it be possible for everyone to realize later?"
Hearing Shen Xincheng's suspicions, the previous person hurriedly explained: "Chief, the situation is like this, some time ago it was said that the sister-in-law of the Zhuge family of Lijian Province came to Yaoguang City to deal with some things, and all the families put their minds on the sister-in-law of the Zhuge family. In their opinion, with the sister-in-law of the Zhuge family here, even if something happens, nothing big will happen. ”
"Yes? God help me. Shen Xincheng smiled faintly, he didn't expect such a result in advance, but things seemed to have developed in his favor.
"The leader has been recuperating over the years, and before he knew it, he had expanded his sphere of influence to the defense of the entire Yaoguang City. At that time, as long as the time comes, as long as the leader gives an order, the entire Yaoguang City will be in the hands of our Star Luo Jukou!" a young man smiled at Shen Xincheng, his smile extremely flattering.
"This is just the first step, I have been lurking for more than twenty years, why is my ambition so far? My ultimate goal is the entire Soul Suppression Empire, as long as the entire Soul Suppression Empire is completely occupied, our Star Luo One Hundred and Eight Giant Kou will no longer be 'Giant Kou', and at that time, it is not impossible to rebuild the Star Luo Empire. The remaining Avalanche Empire and Heaven Dou Empire will not be our opponents, and the suffering and torture we suffered back then will now be returned tenfold and hundredfold!" Shen Xincheng said calmly, revealing ambitions that did not match his age.
"Hehe, what the leader said is very true. Over the years, in the Star Luo Council, we have been ridiculed and looked down upon by other leaders along the way, and regarded us as the last. Presumably, the next time the Star Luo Council comes, I'm afraid that our development will be able to scare them into falling their eyes. A hearty laugh sounded, followed by Shen Xincheng's words, and the entire hall was filled with laughter, as if it had smelled the wine of victory.
In a happy atmosphere, Shen Xincheng also rarely pulled a smile on his face and waved his hand. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't Young Leader Shen Lingxi come, what is he doing now?"
As he spoke, a group of people entered through the entrance to the hall. They carried a smashed corpse on a stretcher, although Shen Xincheng couldn't see the person's face clearly, but from the clothes on the person's body and the residual soul power on his body, he still recognized the identity of the deceased at once.
Young leader, Shen Lingxi!
This scene couldn't help but make Shen Xincheng's face change suddenly, and he jumped up from the Taishi chair he was sitting on, shocked and angry, and said in a lost voice: "Who is it? Who killed my son?"
Shen Xincheng had a son at the age of dozens of years because of his cultivation of evil skills. He naturally loves Shen Lingxi in every way, and never lets him appear in danger except for cultivation. And Shen Lingxi is naturally also competitive, and now he has the strength of the peak of the soul fighting master, and he has almost stepped into the level of a soul general with half a foot.
This kind of strength, although it is not invincible in Yaoguang City, it should also be a rare opponent, at least there is no problem in saving your life. But this is enough to make his proud son actually lie on a stretcher, and his body is broken, you can imagine how powerful the enemy is, how can he not make Shen Xincheng angry?
"Chief, we were in the back garden behind the City Lord's Mansion for 'a thousand nights', and suddenly there was a strange sound from the grove farther away. The young master hurriedly went over to check the situation, and the person who came was a strong man at the level of a soul general. He first pretended to be invincible and fought and left, and when the young master couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to attack, he suddenly shot and directly took the young master's life, and the young master died so miserably......"
The city lord's palace guard was crying, sighing and hiding his tears. It seems that it is not the young leader who died, but their father and mother, and that look does not seem to be fake at all.
"How is it possible?" Shen Xincheng's face suddenly changed, and he was startled from the throne he was sitting on, and asked in surprise.
For a long time, he raised his forehead and sighed, as the saying goes, "people are not as good as heaven", and I don't know if this soul general-level powerhouse will bring any accidents to his plan. Accidents like this, it's terrible!
