Chapter 42: The City List

Cold Spirit City, outside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion

The wolf guards glanced at Xiahou Feng, who was lying in a pool of blood and had lost his life, and turned to glance at the guards watching from the outside of the main hall. wiped the scimitar back, and said with a righteous mind:

"Just now, the military general Xiahou Feng broke into the Han Ling Palace, poisoned the city lord, and fabricated false information through Han Lingyu to frame Ben Shuai. His heart is sinister, and his sins are unforgivable! When Lord Han is highly poisoned in his body, he expects to die soon. Therefore, the 'Imperial City Order' was passed on to Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai was ordered to hoe the traitors and thieves and take charge of Hanling City!

After some cover-ups, impassioned, and unchanged faces, the wolf guards took out a bronze piece of ancient order engraved with the word "cold spirit" from their waists, and displayed it in front of the hesitant guards under the palace gate, and at the same time, the spiritual pressure of the 'Battle Soul Level Initial One' instantly expanded, revealing his strength to overwhelm the ministers.

After listening to the wolf guard's last order to be in danger, I saw the 'Imperial City Order' he showed and the amazing strength that erupted. The large number of onlookers quickly fell silent after a bustle. Afterwards, the soldiers knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison:

"Meet the !! of the New City Lord"

Hearing the many voices of worship with sincerity and convincingness, the cold and fierce face of the wolf soldier showed a rare smile. The scene of holding power and congratulating everyone in his dreams has finally been fulfilled today. Although his plan was a little flawed because of Han Lingyu, he was finally conquered by himself with his strength.

Sure enough, this is a world of strong people, as long as the strength is strong enough, even if it kills the king and seizes the throne, it can still make people happy and convinced.

The wolf guard, who was finished, closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the sense of accomplishment of everyone's visit, and couldn't help but sigh and recall his plan to seize power for many years:

As early as when he was supervising the slave mining camp, he conspired with Shui Lianggong, the lord of Shuiyoucheng, how to get rid of Han Qi and the other three generals? Later, after learning about the thousand-year-old treasure land, Shui Lianggong came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone: take the opportunity of treasure hunting to get rid of Han Qi.

For this reason, Shui Lianggong shared the heavy profits of a corner of the territory of Hanling City after the success of the plan, and borrowed the slaves of the other three cities and his own army to form an army of 100,000. Then form a treasure hunting alliance with the 100,000 army of the Cold Banner and go to the Far East.

It is expected that if the plan fails, it will be considered a gain to be able to consume some of the elite soldiers of Cold Spirit City. But he didn't expect that in the Far East Domain, there were unknown demons buried. Its black smoke is terrifying, and most of the 200,000 troops were killed, almost even killing themselves, but it is also a smooth plan to take the opportunity to get rid of his old opponent Liu Bingwei.

On the way back, he waited for an opportunity to poison Hanqi at close range, and Shui Lianggong hid in the dark to prevent trouble. After successfully poisoning the cold banner, Shui Lianggong used a human skin mask to pretend to be the cold banner and returned to the cold spirit city with him, summoned General Bafa to a hidden place to kill him secretly, and then found a random excuse to carry out the city lord's secret affairs to the outside world.

Finally, with this expedition, the strength of the city lord has improved, and on the grounds of the impact of the 'mid-stage quadruple of the battle soul level' through the long closure and death pass, the golden cicada of Shui Lianggong has come out of its shell. In this way, the actual control of Cold Spirit City fell into his own hands. As for Xiahou Feng, who was guarding the border, he no longer posed a threat to him, but thinking of the unnecessary losses caused by his loyal soldiers' rebellion, he naturally had to try to isolate them and dispose of them.

It's just that I didn't expect that this last one, which seemed to be a simple finish, was carelessly let Xiahou Feng release the cold flag in the cold spirit jade before death, exposing his ambition in front of everyone, and almost falling short. If it weren't for the current Cold Spirit City, except for his own superior strength and difficult to match, otherwise the situation would be unpredictable!

Thinking of this, Wolf Bingwei opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief...

"Order! The border guards and Xiahou Feng committed a rebellion, poisoned and killed Lord Hanqi, and framed the immediate city lord, and they have been punished on the spot! The sergeants under his command, if there are those who do not surrender, will be regarded as the same crime! Relatives and clans are all slaves!"

The wolf guard woke up from his long memories, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted a stern order. The last stumbling block has been removed, and it is natural that all hidden dangers must be eliminated.

......

The city of cold spirits, the woods outside the city

After seven nights at the end of more than a month of retreat, I slowly walked out of the cave. In the Spirit Realm Mixed Yuan Refining Realm, after nearly two months of practice of the exercises, Qi Ye had already mastered them very skillfully, and the twenty or thirty low-level exercises and several middle-level exercises that the Black Demon Flame had devoured were only greatly reduced because of their own weak strength.

After excavating from the cave, after seven nights of activity, he still hid behind the shade of the trees as usual to monitor the every move of the Cold Spirit City. I didn't pay attention for more than a month, but this time I found a large number of people outside the gate of Hanling City, and the atmosphere was very lively:

Many passing merchants and passers-by gathered around a city list posted on the city wall, or carefully studied it, or gathered in groups to bow their heads and talk, some shook their heads and lamented, some were silent, and some wept bitterly...

What the hell is going on?, Nanaya wondered in his heart. Because of the distance, I couldn't see the content of the city list, so Qiye decided to go up and see it for myself. One turned over and jumped off the treetops neatly, dusted off the fallen leaves on his shoulders, patted the dust, and strode out of the woods calmly in the seventh night, followed the flow of people into the main road into the city, and walked towards the city gate.

When I came to the city wall, because I was too short, and the crowd in front of me was so crowded that I couldn't see the city list when I jumped left and right for seven nights. Gritting his teeth helplessly, he buried his head down, squeezed left and right in front of the crowd of onlookers, and looked at the high city list. Looking at the dense handwriting, Qiye looked confused, and what was even more incredible was that he had never seen many words before, but he could recognize them:

"The rebel general Xiahou Feng, as the general of the guard of Cold Spirit City. did not think about being loyal to his duties, but tried to hold power, brutalized Lord Hanqi, and framed Zhongliang. Now that the current city lord has been corrected on the spot, the rest of the evil remnants have been disarmed and surrendered. Today's city list is publicized, the world is clear, and the people's hearts have been righteous. ”

After reading it word by word, I couldn't help frowning. Turning his head to look at an old man in cloth with a deep expression and a serious face beside him, Qiye said respectfully and politely:

"This grandfather, what is going on in this Cold Spirit City?"

"Hey, it's hard to put into words, as it says: The city lord Lord Hanqi was unfortunately stinged to death, and the perpetrator Xiahou Feng has been executed, and now Hanling City is in charge of Lord Wolf Guard. The old man in cloth glanced at the seven nights and explained concisely.

"What?" Qiye was a little surprised, although he had expected that the wolf guards might replace the cold flag, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. And now that the city list has been announced, another general of Cold Spirit City has become a substitute for the dead ghost, and no one can stop it, and Wolf Bingwei has naturally become the unshakable city lord of Cold Spirit City.

This made the pressure on Qiye increase sharply, and the wolf guard had become the city lord of Cold Spirit City, and it would be even more difficult to find him for revenge.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask the others if the old man is wrong. The old man in cloth looked at Qiye, who was deeply surprised, and said with an indifferent expression.

Qiye turned his head silently, looking at the city list in a daze, looking for a plan in his heart. Thinking of the success of the wolf guard's conspiracy, Nanaya's little fist couldn't help but clench tightly.

"What should I do?" Nanaya scratched his head, thinking hard.

"Hmph, what was killed by Xiahou Feng's poisonous stinger, it was his wolf guard. In the crowd, a big man with his hands on his chest said unabashedly.

"That's it, the whole city saw it that day, the transmission of the city lord, is that still fake?" next to the big man, a middle-aged man with a rather narrow temperament also agreed.

"Shhhhhh

"What is Uncle Ben afraid of!" Dahan patted his chest, looking daring.

"It is said that even the 'Tomahawk-level Late Eightfold' Xiahou Feng was killed by cutting his throat in the hands of the wolf guards within a few rounds. I'm afraid that your little life is not enough for others to take a look at, aren't you afraid?" the thin old man explained with a well-informed look.

When the big man heard the thin old man say this, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and timidity suddenly rose in his heart, and his face became gloomy, and he was silent.

Qiye was surprised when he heard the conversation of these three people: even Xiahou Feng, who had the strength of the 'Tomahawk Late Eightfold' level, was easily defeated by the wolf guard, and he had no chance of winning. Even if his spiritual power is comparable to that of the 'late stage of battle-level', but the wolf guard who can easily kill the strong man of the 'late stage of battle axe', if he takes the risk of assassinating himself, I am afraid that he will be stabbed by it before he can pull out the blade closely.

Thinking of this, Qiye's heart was cold, and he fell into a dilemma: his current strength is low, should he now seek revenge from the wolf guards desperately? Or work hard to improve his strength and wait for the opportunity to take revenge? Even if he breaks through to the 'battle level', he should not have much chance of winning. After all, he is not a star and a half behind the wolf guard, and the person who can easily kill the 'late stage of the Tomahawk level' is probably one order higher.

If you go to take revenge now, there is a chance that you will die. Not only did the revenge not be avenged, but it was also in vain. If you choose the second path, you don't know what year and month in the future, your strength will be able to beat the wolf guard and get this revenge...

After a difficult choice, Seven Nights cautiously chose a second path with greater certainty. But then, a question was also placed in front of Qiye: that is, where did the cultivation resources come from?

Now you can't rely on the Black Demon Flame to absorb the spiritual power of others unscrupulously, then improving your own strength will inevitably require a huge amount of resources. The two high-level spiritual cultivators who had absorbed before had only allowed themselves to reach the 'Elementary Eighth Stage', so if they wanted to successfully break through the 'Battle Level', they didn't know how much more resources they needed! Qiye sighed helplessly in his heart...

"It seems that you kid seems to have forgotten something?" Inside the Heavenly Wheel, the Great Protector who had been watching the Seven Nights' actions seemed to see his troubles, and he broke his words.

"I forgot something..."Hearing the words of the Great Dharma Protector, he bowed his head and recited silently and remembered it in the seventh night. The Great Dharma Protector will not be without wind and waves, and I believe that there must be a reason. Soon, a flash of lightning flashed by, and Qiye suddenly burst into surprise

"That's right, remember, let's go!" he said, and Qiye quickly disappeared into the crowd, and quickly burrowed into the mountains behind Cold Spirit City.
