No one interrupted Zhang Zhao's words, and even the guards pushing the fire-breathing beast cart at the head of the city in the distance were dumbfounded, as if a dazzling array of gadgets were flashing in front of their eyes, and they secretly claimed to be happy when they heard the juggling master inexplicably turn into a ball of sparks.

"Later, when I encountered bandits blocking the way outside the city, I learned that the uncle actually has extraordinary skills, and he can make those bandits explode into fireworks without raising his hand......"

"Since then, I've worked hard every day to become like that uncle. I can protect myself with more power than I can imagine, and I can help everyone around me and make them as happy as I was at that time. ”

"After I got into Lingxiao, I realized that being a cultivator was completely different from my original life. There are also many seniors who have advised me not to pay attention to the idle affairs of those people. When I think of the joy that Uncle Spitfire brought me, I always believe in my choice......"

"Ridiculous, there are so many incompetent people in the world, how much can you help alone?" The majestic voice of the Xuanhuo City Lord who was in the fire cloud talisman car carried some emotion: "But a group of wastes who only know how to look up to people's snorts, can they be so sad?"

Zhang Zhao looked around at the Burning Body Clansmen, and turned back to the Scorpion Dragon Beast: "You are wrong, I am not sad for them, they should already know very well by now how to deal with the problem in front of them." ”

He looked sad and regretful: "I am sad for myself and that uncle, because in my eyes the person who is as tall as the Aoki Castle Wall does not exist, because the person I once wanted to become...... It's dead. ”

The feeling of sadness became more and more intense, and everyone in front of the city felt the same way, and there were already low sobs from the crowd of the Burning Body Clan, and a female cultivator in the Thunder Light Pavilion couldn't help but reach out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yang Tian let out a sigh, Zhang Zhao cheered up and shouted: "If you want to live the same life as before, continue to stay here, if anyone wants to live with some dignity, go back to the Burning City with us, and everyone will find a way together." ”

"Let's go back ......" millions of Burners wiped away their tears and shouted in unison: "Follow Atoubu to the death...... and go back to their hometowns...... , let those lords do their own power......"

"Wait......" A crisp voice actually overshadowed the tide of calls in everyone's ears, and the huge talisman car behind Zhang Zhao burst apart, and a red figure jumped up lightly in the firelight: "Boy, you stop for me." ”

Yang Feng and the others, who had been listening attentively, immediately came to their senses, and even the Yan Demon approached at the same time, but when they saw the appearance of this Xuanhuo City Lord clearly, they couldn't help but whisper, and stopped standing in surprise.

Stopping in front of Zhang Zhao was a boy in red, with a red ribbon tied up on his head, looking like he was ** years old at most, with a pink complexion and smart eyes, very cute.

Thinking that they had been hit by the enemy's plan, the Yan Demon and the others quickly turned around and looked at the position of the rune car to be on guard, but there was no movement in the pile of fragments. They wondered even more, could it be that the rough voice in the car just now was also made by this child?

"If it weren't for the mercy of the city lord, you would have been injured when you turned around. The boy in red looked at Zhang Zhao with a sophisticated smile that did not match his immature appearance at all: "I haven't seen you for a few years, boy, you really impress me." ”

"You've grown so much that I don't even recognize you. The boy in red turned a deaf ear to the exclamations of the Burning Tribesmen around him: "You are right, I changed my voice while sitting in the car, and I feel worse than death." ”

"After my mother passed away, you were the only one in the world who valued me so much. The red-clothed boy standing in the air stretched out his little palm and patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder: "I can't let you down, I never said those words at the beginning, let's go to the city." ”

"I wish the lord of the city...... You...... , How can the Fire Spirit Ceremony allow a group of people who have broken the contract to participate?" The boy in red didn't even look at the five elders of the Ding family: "This is the place where the Zhu family is, the Zhu family is now my final say, I can let whoever I want to enter the city, do you have any opinions?"

Hearing the murderous intent hidden behind the contemptuous words of the red-clothed boy, the five elders of the Ding family immediately shut up honestly, they had already heard that Xuanhuo City had changed a moody city lord with a deep cultivation a few years ago, and even the elders of the Zhu family who were in the Transformation Realm were all cleaned up and obedient, how could they dare to speak rashly and provoke again.

"Let them all withdraw, and go and prepare a banquet to entertain the friends of the lord of the city. The red-clothed boy affectionately pulled Zhang Zhao into the city, and everyone who was still nervous just now felt that it was difficult to adapt for a while, dozens of Xuanhuo City elders hurriedly changed their smiling faces to greet the guests warmly, and the five elders of the Ding family and the three murderers of Zihuo also retreated to the side of the road and gave way awkwardly.

Until they sat down in the main hall of the Zhu family, Gong Yeyang and Cai Zhixu, who were drinking tea, were still in the clouds, and it was clear that the Zhu family was going to make a big move, how could Zhang Zhao turn the whole situation around at once with a few words? Could it be that they had other plans?

They heard that this strange-shaped Xuanhuo City Lord and Zhang Zhao seemed to be old acquaintances, but they hadn't seen each other for many years, and if they heard a few words and turned from cold to hot like this, this person's temperament was really more elusive than those eight demons.

Yang Feng and the three of them didn't feel any surprise, the three demons all felt that Zhang Zhao had a kind of power that made people close and convincing, so they were willing to come to help, and the fire boy's behavior was very normal in their eyes.

"Ding Laosi, it's better to be like this, you guys will go back and bring that slave covenant, just as the city lord gives my little brother a meeting gift, how about it?" The fire boy sat on the big chair in the hall with a smile and shook his legs that couldn't touch the ground, and said in surprise: "Do you have to let me go to your Ding family in person?"

"Uh...... , I wish you this request, Lord of the City...... It's hard for a strong man, that slave contract was made by our two families hundreds of years ago, and it has nothing to do with you......"

Gongye Yang and a few people felt that the way the fire boy acted was incredible, just now he was obviously quite hostile to the Burning Body Clan, but not long after he recognized Zhang Zhao, he had already made it clear that he had joined his own camp before he even sat on his ass before he entered the main hall.

"Didn't you hear what my little brother said outside just now? If those Burning Body Clansmen are motivated, it will be of great benefit to our Xuanhuo Domain, this is related to the vital interests of our families, Ding Laosi, don't you say?"

"Hey......" The white-eyed old man only felt a breath of depression in his chest and couldn't disperse, and when Zhang Zhao finished saying those words, the fire boy also said that he didn't care about the lives of others, how could he make such an unreasonable request in a blink of an eye.

"I wish the city lord, the ancestral covenant is the ancestral covenant after all, if you don't follow the agreement in the world, how can you convince others?" Seeing that the fire boy was about to attack with a slight raise of his eyebrows, Zhang Zhao looked at the three fierce Zihuo who spoke out and smiled coldly: "If it is as the three seniors said, wouldn't those people on Kongmeng Mountain die too unjustly?"

"Why do you ......" The three murderers of Zihuo looked surprised and almost blurted out, they were invited by Lu Yao to pay a lot of money that day but escaped from the battle, they always thought that no one in the Xuanhuo Domain knew about this ugly thing, and they felt that their faces were hot when they were pierced by Zhang Zhao on the spot.

Seeing that they were silent, Zhang Zhao didn't say much and smiled at the fire boy: "Uncle, you don't have to bother about the slave contract, in fact, I don't think it matters whether there is a slave contract or not, if everyone can really live a good life, why bother with a dead letter?"

"The people who serve tea, cook, quarry, and move things are just different from those of us cultivators, and they are indispensable in all parts of the city. No matter what others call them, once the Burners recognize their status, the name of the so-called slave will change. ”

"As long as it is treated fairly, the people of the Burning Body can work in various places with peace of mind. At that time, the strange fruit fragrant rice of the Xuanmu Domain, the fish, shrimp and pearls of the Xuanshui Domain, the swords and armor of the Xuanjin Domain, and the fine wine and wine of the Xuantu Domain were rolling in, and everyone understood the benefits of doing so. ”

"Actually, I'm not as glamorous as you think, it's just that they don't dare to provoke me easily. After a wine banquet was dispersed, the fire boy and Zhang Zhao, who was left alone in the palace, sighed faintly after drinking a few glasses: "I don't know anything about those business things at all, and I feel overstretched for the past few years as the city lord. ”

"The old guys of the Zhu family don't care about it on the surface, but they are actually hiding in the dark and waiting to see my jokes. He looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "To tell you the truth, were you kid bragging just now? Those fish, shrimp, fragrant rice and other things, will there really be here in the future?"

Zhang Zhao raised his wine glass and touched it with the fire boy, and his tone was affirmative: "Uncle, don't worry, it won't take a year and a half for you to sit here and eat live fish and seafood in the Xuan Waters." ”

"Right now, it's best for me to get the spiritual fire first, so that the people of the Burning Body Clan can unite as one, and things will naturally go much smoother......" The fire boy asked again and again when he heard this, "Ah, didn't you come to Xuanhuo City to watch the ceremony? and want to take the spiritual fire?"

More than 100 miles south of Xuanhuo City is the Fire Spirit Mountain, that low mountain range often makes a dull explosion, spewing out large puffs of magma and hot ash has always been inaccessible, close to the fire spirit ceremony will be extraordinarily quiet, the mountain pass gushing out a white pillar of smoke straight to the sky.

"A thousand years ago, monsters were rampant everywhere, but most of the beasts were afraid of fire, and our place became the most comfortable place. The fire boy stepped in the air and walked side by side with Zhang Zhao riding on the back of the scorpion dragon beast: "Later, there was a catastrophe in the heavens and the earth, and most of those powerful demon beasts sank into the ground, and the world was divided into five mysteries, and the Xuanhuo Domain was no longer as beautiful as it used to be. ”

Squinting at the look on Zhang Zhao's face, the fire boy grinned: "Don't you believe it? The original origin of Wuxuan is actually in the Xuanhuo Domain, and it is recorded in many ancient books in the Zhu family, but few people know about it now." ”

"I had this face when I was born, and the elders of the clan said that freaks don't live for a few years. Only my mother taught me to read and write since I was a child, and my father didn't even look at me, and those uncles and brothers even talked about me as a joke. ”

"When I was a teenager, I was five or six years younger in the clan, and those guys were taller than me. My mother took me to ask all the famous doctors in the city, and I couldn't be cured of how many medicines I took, and I couldn't always follow my mother when I grew up, so I hid in the house and read every day. ”

"Seeing them marry and start a family one by one, I don't even have a person who comes to the door to propose marriage. After the death of his mother, he had no worries, and he came to this Fire Spirit Mountain alone to live his life. ”

As they climbed to the top of the Fire Spirit Mountain, the Fire Boy pointed to the sea of magma and fire in front of them, which was constantly muttering white smoke for several miles, and said with a smile: "In front of this Flame Lake, I actually comprehended the fire spirit magic I had seen in the classics, so I left my hometown and wandered around. ”

Zhang Zhao looked at the red lava and asked, "You were still in the Xuanmu Domain a few years ago, why did you suddenly become the city lord?" The fire boy sneered when he heard this, and chuckled: "This is really a coincidence, I plan to come back to worship my mother, and I happened to meet them in electing the city lord." ”

"My brother who was the lord of the city was short-lived, and he had no children under his knees, and several uncles were all interested in fighting each other, and proposed ways to compete with each other. Although my father didn't look down on me when he died, he hadn't expelled me from the Zhu family yet, and in terms of generation, I was more qualified than them. ”

With a naughty smile on his face, the fire boy said with some innocence in his tone: "They can't beat me, and the four uncles of the incarnation realm joined forces to be burned by me and their beards, so I had no choice but to make me the city lord." ”

"My mother often said that she believed that I would get ahead one day, and I also wanted to fight for her as the lord of the city. A trace of attachment flashed on the fire boy's face: "They are all disobedient, and when I really can't do it, I will throw my hand and leave, and then go back to the unrestrained days of the past." ”

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly when he saw that he was a little frustrated: "Uncle, why do you have to rely on those few people? The Zhu family has been in charge of Xuanhuo City for so long, there will always be people who put the overall situation first. ”

"Some people will do anything for their own benefit, and there are many more people who are loyal to Xuanhuo City, no matter who is the lord of the city, as long as the things you decide are beneficial to the entire family, those who don't know you will also be on your side. ”

Hearing this, the fire boy suddenly came to his senses: "Are you saying that I can use some people who don't necessarily like me, but are loyal to the Zhu family? Well, it makes sense, if they don't listen to me, they will change to some obedient ones, I don't care who they are, as long as they do things well." ”

The two of them had a good conversation in front of the lava lake, and the rest of the group kept some distance from them. Yang Feng Shi Kun had a trace of curiosity about the Fire Spirit Gift, Cai Zhixu and Haoshou Red Robe stood with their hands down and looked pious, while the Fire Demon stood on the other side patiently waiting with anticipation on his face.

Lei Zhen took a few cultivators and the Purple Fire Red Sun faction a few feet away, and looked up from time to time to look at the situation of the white pillar of smoke: "I wish the city lord, I see this situation, the fire spirit ceremony will start soon." ”

The fire boy replied leisurely: "Almost, the white smoke has faded, and in a few moments it should spew out the Chaos Spiritual Fire." You'd better do what you can, and if you can't support it, you should step back, it's not a shame. ”

With his crisp voice, there was a violent tremor under everyone's feet, and a sizzling breathing sound sounded in the red rock lake in front of him, as if a huge monster was waking up from its slumber.

The piercing white plume of smoke thinned and disappeared, and the fiery red magma tumbled like boiling water, slowly rising from the middle of the lava lake with a radius of tens of feet.
