Table of Contents 28: Deterrence

The Celestial Tree that stands in the middle of the city represents the history of the city, just like the singer, and the towering body of the tree reaches into the sky, and it is said that the top of the tree is already above the clouds, connecting the kingdom of the gods.

Bai Ye didn't know if this tree was connected to another ridiculous mythical realm, but he knew that if someone could enter the Heavenly Realm Tree, it meant that he had come into contact with the ruling class of Heavenly Rim City.

Over the course of hundreds of years, the inhabitants of Celestial Edge City have excavated the interior of the Celestial Tree with a pious heart, and to this day, a small part of the Celestial Tree has been transformed into a palace where the city lord lives.

After revealing their identities to the soldiers guarding the door, Bai Ye and Qi Yu were brought into the Heavenly Realm City, through the curved stairs and dim corridors, the two finally came to a huge wooden door, the door was carved with a woman, probably the original singer, lifelike skills perfectly reproduced the peerless face of the singer, Bai Ye just looked at it a few more times, then reached out and pushed the door open, with a heavy moving sound, he saw the world behind the door.

The spacious living room, the front and the most central position, Lu Yuan is sitting upright, and the left and right are full of dense tables and chairs, full of men and women with different looks, strangely quiet.

As soon as he stepped inside, Bai Ye felt countless piercing glances, and the smell of food that came to his face made Qi Yu subconsciously swallow his saliva.

"Welcome, Miss Qiyu, and Mr. Bai Ye. Lu Yuan clasped his hands together and pressed them on his chin, "I'm very happy with the decision you made in the end. Looking at Lu Yuan's drifting gaze, on the right side of the city lord, there were two empty tables quietly placed there, and sitting in the opposite position on the other side were Luo Yunxiu, who had spoken disrespectfully before, and Yuan Zhixin, who had a gloomy face, the strength of those two Bai Ye is obvious to all, so to speak, the seats here are arranged according to strength, and Lu Yuan attaches great importance to the combat effectiveness of Qi Yu!

"Don't be in such a hurry, we haven't agreed yet, let's negotiate the remuneration first. Bai Ye walked forward indifferently, and the prayer followed closely.

"Lord of the city, this man ...... Is that the strong man you invited?" A bald man sitting near the door slammed the table in front of him, "Why do I think he's a weak little ghost?" "Lord Castle, according to what I said at the beginning, according to the position according to the strength and the reward, the person who can sit next to you means the strongest guy among us. Sitting next to the bald head was a woman with light makeup on her face, and her rather bewitching face was full of ridicule at the moment.

The two can also be regarded as well-known martial arts partners.

Killing monk ribs, white-faced demon Guiyue.

Lu Yuan didn't rush to explain anything, but watched with a smile as Bai Ye and Qi Yu walked to the empty table and sat down, and when he saw those martial cultivators showing anger one by one, he slowly spoke: "Mr. Bai Ye, although I also want to give you the highest reward, but others don't seem to be able to accept it, can you ......" The door was pushed open again, and Chen Tong, who was wearing heavy armor, walked straight with a gloomy face.

"Lu Yuan, I heard that you have recruited two more guys who don't know their origins, what are you thinking! Just bring some useless garbage into the city, do you really think that you can protect Lord Geji by relying on them?" Ruthless words, even ignoring the identity of the other party's city lord, although many martial arts cultivators were not happy with Chen Tong's words, but in front of the strength of the other party's A-level martial arts cultivators, they still wisely chose to be silent, but Luo Yunxiu and Yuan Zhixin continued to enjoy the food and wine in front of them with indifferent faces, and of course, there were two people who were also indifferent to Chen Tong's questioning.

After seeing Lu Yuan's meaningful smile, Chen Tong noticed the strange man and woman on the right, both of them looked very young, and the woman looked like a child, so he couldn't help but point and ask: "These two are your new recruits, and being able to sit in this position proves that their strength is stronger than everyone here, but why can't I feel that they are worth this money?" "The man named Bai Ye is not Wu Xiu. Luo Yunxiu didn't remind the others that what Lu Yuan really wanted to hire was actually the little girl who was burying her head in eating, "It's probably the contractor." "What about the contractor?" Chen Tong looked down at Bai Ye proudly, the latter stood up from the chair after a short thought, touched the apple on the table with his right hand, put it to his mouth and bit it hard, and said vaguely: "I'm not a martial cultivator, let alone a contractor. After seeing Chen Tong's gradually changing eyes, Bai Ye puffed up his chest very proudly and shouted in a neutral voice, "Lao Tzu is an old human. ”

The expressions of everyone in the hall were frozen in an instant, even Chen Tong, who was pointing at Bai Ye, and Lu Yuan, who had been smiling, were stunned.

"Poof......" Luo Yunxiu, who had just taken a sip of liquor, simply leaned forward and laughed, "Hahahaha...... Do you hear that, old human, this is an animal that is rarer than the contractor, an old human, stronger than us, this joke, will it be a bit too much? ”

"Is it really an old human?" Yuan Zhixin, who had been gloomy for ten thousand years, muttered behind him, his eyes flashing with strange brilliance staring at the party who was munching on an apple and Chen Tong staring at each other.

"City Lord, please explain!" Rib's voice became louder.

"It's funny, the strongest guard who was invited turned out to be an old human, is this laughing at us, Lord Castle? Gui Yue's piercing laughter instantly ignited the anger of the other martial cultivators, and in the face of the excited martial cultivators, Bai Ye just shrugged helplessly: "Although I am an old human, it is more than enough to clean you up." ”

The scene was blown up again.

"Clean us up, even if you are reincarnated eighteen times, you won't be able to touch the toes of the old lady. Gui Yue's smile had been completely replaced by annoyance, and there were a few more black throwing knives in her hands that were as pale as snow.

"I'd like to see how an old human can clean us up. Rib kicked the already unstable table, and he looked even stronger and taller when he stood up.

The only one present who did not overreact was still Luo Yunxiu, who was wiping his lips with a white towel, staring at Bai Ye thoughtfully with his eyes, this old human in front of him, but the person who could block his own knife was not an ordinary weakling, and more importantly, what was really scary was the little girl who was sitting there biting the deer's leg and looked harmless to humans and animals.

"Aren't you going to remind them?" Yuan Zhixin, who was behind Luo Yunxiu, asked with a yin owl smile and in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Aren't you also ready to watch a good show, after all, it's a rare show. Luo Yunxiu licked his lips expectantly, "That old human boy, how many catties and taels are there, let that idiot Chen Tong try it." ”

"Click" Chen Tong's reaction was far more intense and rapid than Luo Yunxiu thought, the huge long sword was unsheathed and cut down in an instant, while Bai Ye fluttered out of the attack range of the giant sword, looking at the smashed table Bai Ye shook his head very regretfully: "Even if it's your own thing, you can't be so bad." ”

"Hmph, not only is he capable of speaking, but his skills are also meritorious, no wonder you dare to provoke me as an old human, but ......" The boiling killing intent enveloped Bai Ye's whole body, and also made many martial cultivators who were ready to take advantage of the chaos stand stiffly in place, "I really think that I can win against us with such a small skill, it's too stupid." "Unleashing such a murderous aura, or in front of your city lord, are you going to commit a crime?" Bai Ye turned his gaze to Lu Yuan, but the guy was tasting the dim sum on the plate with a leisurely expression, and he didn't care about it at all.

"What a nasty employer. Bai Ye snorted sneeringly.

"I agree with you, too. The giant sword was raised, and Chen Tong's hand continued to gather strength, "In the same way, you also make me feel annoying. "Mutual friend, then, it's time to end this boring welcome party. Bai Ye smiled calmly at the giant sword that was about to be cut off, and then a thin figure rushed out from his side, and Qi Yu stood in front of Chen Tong.

"Is it your woman? It's really disgusting, when you encounter danger, you hide behind a woman......" This time, Chen Tong couldn't finish speaking, because Qi Yu made a move, and his slender right palm bombarded his chest, and the armor made of steel was like a biscuit that shattered when pinched, turned into powder, and sprang apart in the air......

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tong's huge body flew backwards, gliding all the way until it hit the wall, half of his back fell into it, and finally he drooped his head weakly.

The strongest martial cultivator of the Tianyuan City Guardian was slapped by Qi Yu and lost consciousness.

The whole audience, once again quiet.

"Who's next?" Bai Ye, who was standing behind Qi Yu and showing off his might, gave everyone a new impression, shameless!

"Is it the uncle with a fashionable hairstyle over there?" Bai Ye, with a mischievous smile, pointed to the rib.

"My bald head is natural!" Rib clarified nervously.

"Hmm...... It doesn't matter, look at the way you look, you want to fight me, bald uncle. Hooking his fingers, Bai Ye's people stood firmly behind Qi Yu, with no intention of moving forward.

"This ...... Aha, what are you talking about, Brother Bai Ye, I have agreed with the vision of the city lord from the beginning, you young man, not bad, really good. It's hard to imagine that the ribbed on his face can change into such a modest smile so quickly, while carefully moving the table that he kicked over back to its place, and then sat down as if nothing had happened, "I'm old, and it's uncomfortable to sit for too long, so I want to stretch my muscles." "It seems that I misunderstood you......" The first time he met a guy who was even more shameless than himself, Bai Ye was not discouraged and moved his gaze to the other person.

"Young man, my sister was very optimistic about you from the beginning!" Yue Gui threw a wink at Bai Ye with that pitiful expression, "But you just said that I couldn't touch your toes after I was reincarnated eighteen times......" "Oh, I hate it, do you want to touch the slave's toes so much?" "Excuse me, I'm not interested in old women. "Uh......" Laurel's face twitched visibly, but she maintained her stiff smile.

The tense atmosphere in the living room collapsed under the casual palm of prayer.

Again, one exception is made.

"So, fight me. Luo Yunxiu looked excited for fear that the world would not be chaotic, his right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and Qi Yu had already noticed this bloodthirsty beast, his fists were quietly clenched, and his small mouth curled up in a proud arc.

"Well, that's it for the pleasant welcome party. Lu Yuan, who had just ignored him, suddenly stood up, clapped his palms, and interrupted the battle that was about to break out, "Mr. Bai Ye, and Miss Qiyu, I am here once again to officially welcome the two of you to join the ranks of the guards Lord Geji, after the end of the Divine Night Festival, I will give the two of you a reward of 100,000 yuan." "Deal. This time, Bai Ye simply agreed.

Under the cleaning up of the maid, Bai Ye was replaced with a new table and food, and everyone took their seats again.

"If you're going to fight, stay until the end of the night festival, Yun Xiu. Lu Yuan's bland words made Luo Yunxiu sit back quietly, and the most dazzling thing in the hall at this time was probably Chen Tong, who was trapped in a coma in the wall, and under Lu Yuan's wave of his hand, a soldier came in and helped their captain away.

Seeing the view of all the seats being full, Lu Yuan began the formal topic.

"As you know, before the Night Festival, there will be four consecutive days of open-air singing, today is the second day, and I don't know how the other party will attack in the remaining two days, I hope you don't let your guard down, once the singer-sama is killed, not only will it be a matter of not being able to receive your payment, but you may also be involved in the destruction and turmoil of the city, and protecting the singer is equivalent to protecting everyone here. ”

"And according to my judgment, the most violent assassination of the other party should be the night sacrifice of the gods three days later, and that day will be the weakest moment of protection. ”

"You can't let Singer-sama be killed, that's what you have to do, take the enemy ...... Kill them all!" The atmosphere changed again, but this time, it was pushed by the city lord's own hands.

Bai Ye threw a piece of tofu skin into his mouth and chewed it gently, and his gaze at Lu Yuan finally became a little vigilant, the seemingly kind middle-aged man in front of him was not a simple character.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and a ponytailed girl in light armor walked into the hall.

"No......" After seeing the other party's appearance, Rib and Guiyue, who were closest to the gate, both cried out in surprise.

And Bai Ye also recognized this girl because of the familiar eyes.

In the rice fields outside Tianyuan City, the silhouette girl I saw was her.

What's more, she looks exactly the same as the singer.

"Who is she?" Yuan Zhixin seemed to see the difference between the girl and the singer, and turned to Lu Yuan.

"It must be the first time I've met her father.,Let me introduce you.,Singer-sama's personal guard.,Similarly.,It's also the twin sister of Singer-sama.,Lin Duoduo.。 Lu Yuan, who showed that signature smile, introduced the expressionless iceberg girl to everyone, and the latter walked towards Bai Ye and Qiyu's position without appreciation at all, "You two, come with me, and in the remaining three days, you and I will protect Lord Geji." "Hey?" Bai Ye, who was about to eat and drink, and then slept opens his mouth in surprise.

"You can knock Chen Tong down with one move, you are qualified, come with me." Turning around, ignoring the reactions of the two, Lin Duoduo was like a cold and proud swan, ignoring everyone's departure, and after a long while, Bai Ye reacted and patted his head, "City Lord, what do you say?" "It's troublesome for the two of you." Lu Yuan nodded irresponsibly.

"What a casual request...... Let's go, prayers. Grabbing the girl who was full of fuel, Bai Ye chased after her in stride.
