Chapter 158: Bear the Burden
"Huh?"
Xiao Fan was stunned.
The inky old man is a subordinate of the Bloody Hand Demon?
Then how dare he admit it!
Could it be that he and Xue Wanshan had already colluded?
But it's not right, judging from Xue Wanshan's current rhetoric, he has not entered the Demon Dao, but only borrowed the Demon Body to cultivate, and he is still a strong person in the righteous path in essence.
Don't...... The inky old man was whitewashed?
Xiao Fan looked stunned.
The inky old man continued: "I was originally an ordinary person in a village on the edge of Thunder City, my hometown was ransacked by demons when I was young, and I was brought back to the Great Black Mountain with more than ten children under the age of five to raise me, conceive demons, cultivate immortal methods, and become demonic minions. Many of their companions died under pressure, and those who survived grew up to be sent to Thunder City and several other cities in the distance to serve as shadows. ”
This is where he came from.
The City Lord Xue is an immortal monk, and he cultivates his own demon body in order to be stronger.
And he was taken away by the demon to cultivate, first cultivated the demonic nature, thinking that he was a demon, and then cultivated the immortal method to hide the demonic aura and become a spy.
The state of these two people seems to be just the opposite.
But it happens to have the power of both immortals and demons at the same time.
"And then?" Xiao Fan asked.
The inky old man replied: "My wisdom awakened early, I began to remember when I was more than a year old, and I already knew a lot when I was taken captive. The brainwashing of the Bloody Hand Demon was of little use to me, and when I was thirty years old, I left the Great Black Mountain and came to Thunder City, and I confessed everything about myself directly to the city lord, and was approved by the city lord. With the cooperation of the city lord, I have completed many tasks sent by the Bloody Hand Demon, and my status in Thunder City is getting higher and higher on the surface, and I have also gained the trust of the Bloody Hand Demon secretly, and basically I will be notified of any major event. ”
Xiao Fan suddenly realized.
It turns out that the inky old man was a double agent from the beginning, he has not forgotten his identity as a human being, and although he was raised by demons, he has always maintained justice.
Although in order to complete the task of the Blood Hand Demon over the years, he has also done a lot of things to harm the righteous path, but the purpose is also to put a long line to catch big fish, and in the future, it will be fully brewed and give the Great Black Mountain a fatal blow!
Hearing this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but be in awe of these two Yuan Infant powerhouses!
One of the two is to endure humiliation and bear heavy wages to taste gall, and the other is to feed demons with his body and practice magic skills in order to fight against the devil.
In order to protect the people of Thunder City, they have put in a lot of energy and effort, and they have borne multiple pressures physically and mentally, but they never tell others and bear it silently.
With such a strong man, why worry about the immortality of demons!
Master Crazy Thunder Daoist entered the demon cave alone and killed many demon kings in a row, he is a hero!
City Lord Xue and the Inky Old Man's actions may not be so impassioned and magnificent, but they are also great heroes guarding the righteous path!
"Two seniors, what can I do?" Xiao Fan couldn't help but ask.
Listening to the matter of the old man and the city lord Xue, he felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't wait to rush to the Great Black Mountain immediately and destroy the Black Mountain Ancestor.
However, the strength is so much, it is still too early to destroy the demons, so we can only see if we can do something and cooperate with the Xue City Lord.
"When I'm older, I talk a lot, and before I know it, I'm far away."
Xue Wanshan shook his head and laughed at himself.
Then he said to Xiao Fan: "Little friend, as the old friend of Mose said just now, I want to train you to be the next city lord of Thunder City and inherit my duties." Although your realm is not strong enough, you have grown rapidly and have excellent qualifications, and you will be able to kill the Yin Ji Ghost Mother soon after entering the foundation building period, and you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. I ask you, would you like to take on this responsibility? ”
The conversation is back on track.
Xiao Fan didn't answer immediately, but asked, "City Lord, your cultivation is profound, Shouyuan should still be very long, there is no need to look for a successor so early, right?"
Xue Wanshan looks middle-aged, but his actual age should be one or two hundred years old.
He explained: "Shouyuan is not equal to lifespan, the Bloody Hand Demon has been making too many moves recently, and in about a month, a large-scale invasion will be launched. At that time, all my fellow Daoists and I will fight with all our might, and it is very likely that we will be seriously injured and die. So a lot of things, you have to prepare in advance. ”
Xiao Fan's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart sank.
Gao Shengyan also mentioned this plot, more than a month later, the decisive battle between the immortals and demons will be a war that will determine the survival of Thunder City.
It seems that City Lord Xue and the others are all ready to sacrifice.
But if they all die, Thunder City is estimated to be destroyed, and Xiao Fan may not be able to become the new city lord.
Xiao Fan said: "When the time comes, I will do my best to fight." If you are defeated, everything will be empty, and if you win, your predecessors are not dead, you are still the lord of the city. ”
City Lord Xue nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face: "With your growth rate, maybe you will really become a pivotal combat power when the time comes." If I can really win, and I don't die, my old bones can still fight for the people of Thunder City for another hundred years! ”
Then his tone changed: "But I still hope that you are ready to take over as the city lord, because I have a hunch that the situation in this battle is not optimistic."
Speaking of this, Xiao Fan stands to reason that there is no reason to refuse.
But there was some worry in his heart.
What if your real-life bad luck is brought to the game?
Ling Xiao Sect is a little better, he is only a disciple, and he has no salary, so he should not be bankrupt by the scourge.
But if he becomes the lord of Thunder City, he will be the boss!
With his bad luck, he became the boss, so if he didn't do it properly, he would go bankrupt?
"What? Do you still have concerns? Xue Wanshan saw his hesitation and asked.
Xiao Fan was a little unclear, so he said: "My fate is not good, I am afraid that it will affect Thunder City."
When Xue Wanshan heard this, he laughed at the same time as the inky old man.
"Fate? Child, you have to believe that man will conquer the sky, and there are many people in the world who change their lives against the sky. Look at the ink-colored old man, is his fate good? But isn't he also guarding Thunder City, guarding the people here? City Lord Xue said.
When Xiao Fan heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
That's right, life is life, people are people! Immortal cultivators fight demons, fight for life, and go against the current, this is changing their lives against the sky!
If you are timid, you won't even dare to be the city lord, and you will still cultivate a hammer fairy? Why don't you go home and farm!
"Thanks to the love of my predecessors! Since this is the case, Xiao Fan has no reason to refuse. It's just that my ability is limited, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it alone, and I still need the continued assistance of your current team, the city lord, to be able to govern this side of the city. Xiao Fan said.
Xue Wanshan nodded: "That's natural, the civil and military ministers of Thunder City are all my cronies, and I will leave an edict to them to convey instructions." As a Heavenly Mandate cultivator, you don't have to stay here all the time, all you need to do is make some big decisions, fight against strong enemies, and make a name for yourself so that the people can build up their confidence. ”
To put it bluntly, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper, go to work once a week, and don't have to clock in every day.
And the authority of the city lord is very huge. The jurisdiction of Thunder City is no less than that of a large country in the real world, and the number of people is also in the millions, plus there are tens of millions of resident players, which is similar to being a king.
Once it is truly taken over, the treasure house of Thunder City is a priceless wealth, all kinds of treasures, exercises, weapons, silver taels, and spirit stones can be used at will at will, and the wealth is beyond imagination!
