Chapter 508: The Seventh in Command
Of course, Qingxuzi is willing to give up, but what he gave up was someone else's life, but the wealth left behind belonged to him, and he was definitely a rich and unkind guy.
At this moment, Qingxuzi's image in Zhou Yang's heart has been lowered by a lot.
There are more than 1,000 cultivators in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and the position where these people are standing is also exquisite, and the more than 100 people closest to the presiding platform in front of them are all Tianyuan peak masters, and then there are cultivators above the seventh level of Tianyuan, and they are black and pressing.
Zhou Yang let Murong Yue stand in the front, and he stood behind him.
This arrangement made some late Tianyuan cultivators very dissatisfied, and they all cast unkind glances at Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang was unmoved, ignored those gazes, and simply closed his eyes to recuperate.
However, some people have seen Zhou Yang exert his might, and the eyes cast by these people are full of respect.
They even believed that Zhou Yang should be at the forefront of the Tian Yuan peak masters, because his strength had far surpassed that of ordinary Tian Yuan peak cultivators.
"Hmph, boy, I really don't know how thick the sky is, an outsider, actually standing so far ahead, is he not afraid that he will stand unsteady and fall into a mess?" a Red Armor Tianyuan Eightfold cultivator snorted coldly.
"Yes, I have made great achievements in the battle to defend the city, and I have killed countless bandits, so I don't dare to stand forward, just rely on you, and you are also worthy of squeezing into the front, and don't roll to the back!" Several people next to the Red Armor Cultivator also said sideways.
"Get out of the way!" shouted a lot of dissatisfied.
Zhou Yang ignored these clamors at all, and still closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Bold! Although we are outsiders, in order to defend Jiemeng City, we shed no less blood than you, and we killed no fewer bandits than you.
"Hmph, everyone present, which one is not nine deaths, and which one is not covered in injuries? Even so, we have to talk about the rules, especially in this city lord's mansion, you have to talk about the rules!"
A Tianyuan peak master also released his own aura, blocking Murong Yue's murderous aura, and sneered at each other.
"Yes, everyone has to follow the rules!" many people chimed in.
"Shut up!" Just as everyone was about to gather strength and fight for tat again, they were reprimanded by Liu Xi, the deputy commander who entered the hall.
"The predecessors of Qingxuzi will arrive immediately, and you still dare to be presumptuous, do you have to be dealt with by the city rules?" Liu Xi said in a deep voice.
He glanced around at the group, then strode to the front row under the high platform, where he stood with the other seven deputy commanders.
Everyone present instantly settled down, and the hall became silent.
At this time, several figures suddenly appeared on the high platform, in addition to the four major commanders led by Xie Ba, there was also a fake Dan master with a raw face. Not only that, but he was also given to sit in the middle by the four major commanders, and his identity was obviously very unusual.
There were six stone chairs under the throne, but only five people were seated, and everyone couldn't help but speculate, could it be that there were other people besides Qingxuzi?
Xie Ba, the head of the four major commanders, glanced at the audience majestically, and then spoke: "Everyone, before the Qingxuzi seniors come in person, I solemnly introduce a distinguished guest, this one, Jiang Sheng of the Tongzhou Business Alliance of Lingcheng, Jiang is in charge!"
After the introduction, he swept the audience and continued: "Director Jiang took the time to come here today, but he was entrusted by the Business Alliance to discuss with you the matter of rebuilding Jiemeng, and I hope you will cooperate and support more."
There is another thing, I want to emphasize that the life and death of the old city lord is unknown, and the whereabouts of the deputy city lord are also unknown, and in the long run, it will be extremely unfavorable to our realm, and I don't know when the two bandit coalition forces will come back and slaughter the city of our realm.
In order to ensure the long-term peace of our realm and the prosperity of our realm, after the public discussion of the four of us, it was decided to elect the position of the lord of the city at today's rally, and to break the evil thoughts of the mountain bandits and the river bandits to fight the future troubles forever. Next, let's invite the Qingxuzi seniors!"
Xie Ba didn't give the audience time to react at all, and immediately invited Qingxuzi to come to the stage after the introduction.
"Choose the city lord, do you still need to choose, it must be the predecessor of Qingxuzi!"
"That's right, it's none other than the seniors!"
"Qingxuzi's predecessor is the best choice!"
There are many people in the audience who support Meng Da's shopkeeper.
"Tongzhou Merchant Alliance, do they want to interfere in the reconstruction of Jiemeng? Isn't Jiemeng City directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Army Alliance?"
"The realm is far away from the Emperor of the Heavenly High, and there is only one attached city, how can the Heavenly Army Alliance have the time to take care of this place!"
"You don't know yet, Qingxuzi's predecessor is a member of the Tongzhou Business Alliance!"
There are also people who discuss it privately, although they are not directly opposed, but they are obviously suspicious of Qingxuzi's intentions.
So there was a brief commotion in the audience.
Zhou Yang knew in his heart that it was strange that the Tongzhou Business Alliance did not interfere.
But the commotion only lasted for a few breaths, and then it was shocked by a majestic figure and returned to calm.
Qing Xuzi flashed out from behind unhurriedly, and sat directly on the throne.
After he sat down, the four major commanders and Jiang Shengcai were all in place.
Qing Xuzi said lightly: "Everyone, after the joint efforts of all the Daoists in Jiemeng, we have severely damaged the two bandit coalition forces at the cost of blood, and completely driven them out of Jiemeng City. This is the result of the concerted efforts and unanimity of all the cultivators in the city, and it is also the result of the bloody battle of all of you here!
In addition to killing the bandit Zun Ming Yingtian, this battle also killed two fake Dan bandit leaders, one of whom was killed by a certain Taoist friend present. Not only that, without his generosity and dedication of several four-grade spirit stones, Meng would not have killed Ming Yingtian easily. ”
"Who is so powerful? Is it one of the four commanders?"
"Who else can kill the Fake Dan bandit leader, except for the four major commanders?"
"That's right, four-grade spirit stones, can you and I take them out?"
As soon as Qing Xuzi's voice fell, there was another whisper of thought from below.
"Hehe, do you know which master it is? Hehe, yes, this person is Zhou Yang, Zhou Daoyou, who passed through the Jiemeng and made a righteous move! Zhou Yang Daoyou led a group of his men to fight to the death with the bandits, and the casualties were also very large. As a passer-by, he can help each other so righteously, he is really a model for my generation, and Jiemengcheng owes him a favor. Next, I invite Zhou Daoyou to the stage!" Qingxuzi said loudly.
"Zhou Yang, who is Zhou Yang?"
"Is that the alien Tianyuan peak master?"
"Can he use Tian Yuan's peak cultivation as a master to kill the Fake Dan, does he want to defy the sky?"
"No, that Tianyuan peak master is not Zhou Yang, but someone else!"
"Who's that?"
"You'll find out right away. ”
Zhou Yang was also stunned, Qingxuzi gave him a very high evaluation, which made him feel very comfortable, but he directly gave the benefits, and he went to power, what did he do on stage?
"Hehe, Zhou Daoyou, please come up and sit down!" Xie Ba smiled at Zhou Yang.
Everyone's eyes also swept over.
Zhou Yang was taken aback, it's okay to go on stage, why do you still have to sit down?
It turned out that the sixth spirit stone chair was actually prepared for himself!
Everyone in the audience also blew up the nest immediately, a kid in the late Tianyuan period was able to sit on the stage and become the seventh person in Jiemeng City, is it really going against the sky?
"Zhou Daoyou, please!" Xie Ba said again.
"Alas, this is roasting me on the fire!" Zhou Yang was depressed, but had to step on stage.
"Is it possible that he killed the False Dan master?"
They are the peak of Tianyuan or the late stage cultivators, far worse than the masters of the Fake Dan, if they anger this person, then is there any good fruit to eat?
"Is it possible, you remove the can and the can, the light is left!"
"If you can kill the Fake Pill Master, you can sit on it!" someone gloated.
"Zhou Daoyou, please take a seat!" Xie Ba said politely.
Qing Xuzi also nodded to Zhou Yang.
"Thank you seniors, thank you commanders!" Zhou Yang saluted Qing Xuzi, nodded to the four major commanders and Jiang Sheng, and sat down on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what someone said just now is good, anyone who can kill the master of the Fake Pill can also sit on it. Qingxuzi glanced at the people in the audience and said lightly.
The person who just said this sentence is a bully at the moment, but his voice is like a mosquito, and there are so many people whispering, Qingxuzi actually listens to it really, this is terrible, it seems that he will not dare to interject at will in the future.
"Not to mention killing the Fake Pill Master, just before the age of twenty, he has already cultivated to the Heavenly Yuan Eightfold, and there are many powerful secret techniques, which of you can do it? No, he is qualified to sit in this position, because he is a genius, a peerless talent that comes once in a thousand years!"
can be called a peerless talent once in a thousand years by a mid-stage master of Jindan, and everyone in the audience is in awe.
People who are less than twenty years old have reached such a height, and their future is limitless, and they will definitely become a shining new star in Suiling and even Hezhou, and those who ridicule Zhou Yang and Murong Yue will regret their bowels.
"Hehe, to get back to the point, we are waiting for the gathering today to discuss the reconstruction plan, and I hope you can speak freely and work together. Commander Xie, let's talk about it first. Qing Xuzi smiled.
"Yes. Xie Ba turned his head and bowed slightly, and said to everyone in the audience: "Xie believes that the reconstruction is still secondary." The top priority is to elect a city lord with high moral integrity, and this is the most important thing!"
"Yes, Commander Xie is right!" everyone in the audience agreed.
"As the saying goes, people don't walk without a head, birds don't fly without a head, and I don't have a leader in Mengcheng in my realm, that's absolutely impossible!
"No! Qingxuzi is highly respected and has super strength, so he is the best candidate!" everyone in the audience said in unison.
"Okay, then please sit down and receive the salute to the city lord!" Xie Ba smiled and turned to Qingxuzi.
"This, Meng Mou is not talented, how can he take on such a big responsibility? It is better for you to choose another master!" Qing Xuzi stood up and waved his hand.
