Chapter 727: Taking over as City Lord
Elder Gai nodded, and asked again: "There are quite a few immortal cultivators in Fuzhou City, who have previously obeyed the orders of Changsun Ming, and they are indispensable to participate in the specific matters of collusion with the Spirit Clan. If there is a new city lord in Fuzhou City, what do you think he should do with these people?"
When some people in Xia Duo heard Elder Gai's words, they couldn't help but change color on their faces, and their hearts were shocked and angry. What does Elder Gai mean? Want to purge Changsun Ming's residual poison and get rid of all of his own people?
They were uneasy in their hearts, but they didn't dare to act rashly. Eldest Sun Ming was very jealous of Elder Gai, and he had always been polite to him and didn't dare to excuse himself, Xia Duo knew that he was almost powerless under Elder Gai, and Elder Gai wanted to deal with him, but he had no other way out than to be killed!
Su Aotian is more and more knowledgeable in his heart, judging from the refusal of the person who claimed to be Gai Yuxian to help Changsun Ming just now, it can be seen that he and Changsun Ming are by no means of the same heart. From his words, it can also be heard that he does not completely agree with what Changsun Ming did. At least until this moment, he did not express that he wanted to hold Changsun Ming accountable for being killed, but paid attention to the aftermath, and it seemed that he had decided to let Changsun Ming's era become a thing of the past and usher in the beginning of a new era.
Su Aotian had already considered these things, and Changsun Ming's ambush was already inevitable for him, so once Changsun Ming was beheaded, he must also have a perfect and feasible overall plan for the aftermath. Hearing that Gai Yuxian would actually ask about this, he said without hesitation: "The first evil must be eliminated, and the accomplices can not be blamed in the past, as long as they can sincerely support the new city lord and put the interests of the human race first." After all, in today's situation, the threat of the spirit race and spirit beasts is the biggest scourge of the human race, and every force of the human race must be united to be able to compete with them. The immortal cultivators of Fuzhou City are the most important force for the human race to fight against the spirit race here, and if these forces are weakened, the human race will probably face a catastrophe. ”
Elder Gai's face finally showed a smile, and he could see that he was very satisfied with Su Aotian's answer. After pondering for a while, he said: "It seems that you are confident, it can be seen that you have already expected the inevitable death of Changsun Ming." But to be honest, why do you have such confidence, I still can't figure it out, although the eldest grandson Ming is now killed by you, but the element of luck in this is also very great, and the risk of your fall is not lower than that of him at all. But there is no difference between ancient and modern times. Now that you are the victor, you don't have to worry about what happened before. Since you have thought it through before and after, it is not bad that you will be the new city lord of Fuzhou City. ”
This sentence was out of Su Aotian's surprise, originally he thought that Gai Yuxian intended to take over as the city lord of Fuzhou City, but he didn't expect him to ask himself a lot of words, not only to understand his true thoughts, but also to pave the way for himself, wanting to lift himself to the throne of the city lord. But I don't know if this sentence is true or false, of course Su Aotian can't just accept it so gladly, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "How can the junior be able to do this, how can he be this important task? The position of the city lord is only the most suitable for the seniors, and how can there be any other people who are competent?"
When Xia Duo, Situ Yuehua and the others heard this, they hurriedly echoed it. Regardless of the fact that Su Aotian killed the eldest grandson Ming, which made them extremely uncomfortable and unhappy in their hearts, just because he was a mortal immortal realm cultivator, and he was also an inferior Nether Realm Ascendant, he was about to climb on their heads, and from now on, he would whisper to him and call him the city lord, as soon as he thought of this, it made these people feel really unbearable.
When Gai Yuxian heard Su Aotian's words, he expected him to have such a reaction, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm used to being calm, and I'm really not suitable for these trivial tasks. The reason why he stayed in Fuzhou City and didn't leave was just to make Changsun Ming a little jealous and not dare to do whatever he wanted. I had long wanted to go to Ciyun Prefecture to comprehend the way of heaven and seek a breakthrough, but I really didn't want to let these burdens weigh me down. You don't shirk this position, you should share my worries and relieve my labor, and when you sit firmly in the seat, I should also break through, and then I will leave and no longer care about the things here. Besides, the eldest grandson Ming was killed by you, and I'm so old, isn't it shameful to compete with you as a descendant boy?"
Su Aotian also insisted: "This matter must not be done. The boy's cultivation is shallow, and he does not have a little prestige, how can the city lord be able to convince the people? Only when the people's desire can they unite as one, and the human race can only flourish under the leadership of the predecessors, and if it is handed over to the boy, it will definitely become a plate of loose sand, if so, it is not as good as the situation under the rule of the eldest grandson. ”
Gai Yuxian said: "My generation of immortal cultivators, although the first thing to cultivate, but from you, I have benefited a lot, for the first time in my life, I feel that cultivation is not the decisive factor for everything. As for the difficulty of convincing the public, you don't have to worry too much, regardless of whether I recommend it or not, the eldest grandson Ming will die at your hand, which even I am worried about, just ask here, who else is not convinced?"
This sentence was actually said to Xia Duo, who was a cultivator in the Immortal Realm, and they were originally extremely dissatisfied with Su Aotian, but when they heard Elder Gai say this, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that if Su Aotian dealt with himself, could he still perform better than Changsun Ming? Changsun Ming had fallen, although he could be blamed for being too careless, but would he definitely be able to survive the disaster? As soon as Elder Gai mentioned this, Xia Duo and the others suddenly felt cold in their hearts, and when they looked at Su Aotian's eyes, they were unconsciously frightened.
Moreover, Elder Gai has already made his words clear, he has decided to let Su Aotian become the city lord of Fuzhou City, and he will assist him, maybe he is supporting Su Aotian to be a puppet, he has real power, and he enjoys the happiness of being in power and control behind the scenes, if someone resolutely expresses his opposition, isn't it against him? Thinking of this, these immortal cultivators in Fuzhou City also kept silent one by one, swallowing everything they wanted to say into their stomachs.
Gai Yuxian's words have already explained that Su Aotian may ruin the current harmonious atmosphere if he wants to resign again. Moreover, after all, Changsun Ming has been operating here for many years, and his influence is deep-rooted, and I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause if he is removed this time. And the Spirit Clan and Changsun Ming, in some ways the interests are connected, knowing that Changsun Ming was killed by himself, he must have a grudge, Fuzhou City and the local human race, will face the bloody revenge of the Spirit Clan in the coming days, the position of the city lord of Fuzhou City, is not a good errand, it is also like a crater, if it is not done well, it will be burned dry by the erupting flames. Gai Yuxian doesn't want to take over, maybe he has concerns about this!
So Su Aotian said: "Since the predecessor has this intention, that kid is better to obey than respectful." Anyway, there are seniors who take care of them from the side, and the kid is not afraid of misstepping. If the kid is not competent, then ask the seniors to succumb, or ask another master. ”
After some twists and turns, the matter was settled. Although the branch of Gai Yuxian was born, Su Aotian's previous plan was basically frustrated, but it also eliminated the unfavorable factors in Fuzhou City, so that the chaos and division that might occur after Changsun Ming was removed were eliminated. It's just that the position of the city lord of Fuzhou City, Su Aotian didn't think about it, even if Song Siming came forward, but under Gai Yuxian's intervention, he couldn't help but take on this responsibility, which was both an honor and an arduous responsibility, and Gai Yuxian would never hand it over to someone of Song Siming's level.
Xia Duo and these people were full of unhappiness when Su Aotian first took over the city lord of Fuzhou City, but they were forced by Gai Yuxian's coercion and had to swallow their anger. However, after a long time, as they came into contact with each other, their impression of Su Aotian couldn't help but change little by little.
In terms of treatment and status, Su Aotian did not make any changes to them, and he himself never put on the posture of a city lord to maintain his dignity everywhere. At first, the immortal cultivators in Fuzhou City thought that he was just a newcomer, and they didn't dare to act rashly for the time being, but pretended to be gentle and frugal to buy people's hearts, but after a long time, they found that this was completely a spontaneous and natural manifestation of Su Aotian, and they couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts, and at the same time, they began to have a good impression of him.
However, Su Aotian's principle of treating the human race really shocked them. He actually integrated and counted the resources of Fuzhou City, and distributed them one after another according to their personal needs and applicability, and no immortal cultivator realized that the resources could still be used in this way before that. In the past, no matter who became the lord of the city, he was eager to concentrate all his resources in his own hands for himself to squander, and even for his own henchmen, he was reluctant to give away precious treasures, even if these treasures were useless to himself. And the first thing Su Aotian did after counting the family background in Fuzhou City was to change everyone's equipment!
People like Xia Duo were given spiritual weapons, which made them ecstatic, and they couldn't believe it at first. These spiritual weapons are usually stored in the treasury, and they will only be distributed to them in critical moments, and at critical moments, they have become extinct in Fuzhou City, so spiritual weapons have become something they cannot hope for.
Naturally, the high-level magic weapons they had before were also good treasures, and they also needed to be handed over and handed over to others to use. In this way, from top to bottom, everyone has changed shotguns, and their strength has improved a lot out of thin air, and everyone is full of joy.
Then there is that he does not deliberately distinguish between martial artists and immortal cultivators, as long as they are human races, they are treated equally, and they also practice martial arts, so that the population of Fuzhou City is rapidly dense, not to mention, and the combat effectiveness has also been significantly enhanced, these are also things that Fuzhou City has never thought of before, and has never had before.
