Chapter 213: Announced
Three or two days passed, and the other monks who participated in the election also returned one after another.
Mo Zhuoyu is now in the Lord's Mansion, so he doesn't need to make any special inquiries, and he also knows about some of the other monks.
The two people who completed the task before Mo Zhuoyu chose the last two tasks, that is, the matter of the evil cultivators who were wandering in the Yanzhou realm and the foundation building monks who died for no reason on the front line.
It is rumored that these two people are both in the realm of the Great Perfection in the later stage of Jindan, and it took a lot of twists and turns to complete these two tasks.
Since those evil cultivators dared to do evil in the territory of the righteous path monks, they naturally had something to rely on.
Although those evil cultivators are not highly cultivated, their exercises are extremely peculiar. Even if the righteous monks found their traces, they would always be able to miraculously leave in an instant before the righteous monks could make a move.
It's as if you're going to travel through space, and you disappear in an instant.
Luckily, the monk who had completed the task came up with a trick.
After applying for help from the Lord's Palace, he began to lay traps.
After receiving the news of the evil cultivator again, he did not rush to chase him, but disguised himself as a mortal and went to the place where the evil cultivator might cause chaos, and waited for the rabbit.
That monk happened to know some formations, and the evil cultivator was defenseless, and he was trapped in the formation in an instant. After that, the helpers who had already been ambushed immediately stepped forward and spent some effort, and finally successfully subdued the group of evil cultivators.
The second monk to complete the mission took over the task of the front-line foundation building monk who died for no reason.
The death of the front-line monk for no reason was not unexpected by Mo Zhuoyu, and it was indeed the work of the evil cultivator.
It is said that these foundation-building monks who died for no reason had all come into contact with the same evil cultivator in the battlefield.
Although that evil cultivator was only a foundation building cultivator, he didn't know what kind of exercises he was cultivating, and he could actually quietly apply an invisible and tasteless poison to his opponent.
The poison doesn't happen instantly, which is why these front-line monks have the same symptoms after so long.
Neither of these tasks is too difficult, and although the candidates complete them quickly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to score highly.
However, the third person who followed Mo Zhuoyu to complete the task was a little unexpected.
This person chose the task where a crack appeared in the sky outside Yue City. Strictly speaking, this task is not completed.
Because no one can solve this problem because of the candidates who choose this task.
That crack is still outside Yuecheng, and it has not changed.
The so-called man who completed the task only found the reason for the crack.
However, this matter does not seem to be simple.
Mo Zhuoyu had secretly inquired about the person who chose this task, but no one revealed the reason why the person found out.
It seems that when he returned, the upper echelons of the lord's mansion had already shut up everyone involved in this matter.
However, no matter what, since this person has not completed the task in the real sense, then he is not a big threat to Mo Zhuoyu.
Mo Zhuoyu's mind is still more on the candidate for the last task.
Three days later, all the candidates were summoned to the council hall of the Lord's Palace.
Mo Zhuoyu finally saw his biggest competitor here.
The last mission is the disappearance of a mortal in a town in Pingcheng for no reason.
This matter does not seem complicated at best, but it is actually the last of all the tasks.
Mo Zhuoyu glanced at the person who had completed the task, but saw that the other party was also looking at him.
Seeing Mo Zhuoyu looking over, the other party nodded slightly, and then withdrew his gaze.
Seeing this, Mo Zhuoyu continued to stare at the other party, and after nodding in greeting, he shifted his gaze to the main seat.
When Mo Zhuoyu completed his task, he saw several Yuanying monks from the Yancheng Lord's Mansion had already reappeared in the hall.
Now in the lord's mansion, in addition to Li Xiao, the lord of the late Yuan Infant Great Perfection, the other three Yuan Infant monks are not simple.
The person with a pale face who was turned into Xu Lao by Li Xiao was named Xu Shen, an elder sent by the domain master, and he was already a cultivator in the late Yuan Infant period.
However, Mo Zhuoyu once heard that he seemed to be at the end of his life, and he rarely made a move in the lord's mansion.
The remaining two are all cultivators in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, the young and handsome male cultivator is named Wei Yuan, who was originally the left envoy of the Lord's Mansion, and now he has taken over Su Meixue's former position and is already the right envoy of the Lord's Mansion.
The middle-aged female cultivator's name was Yu Xi, and she was the newly promoted left envoy of the Lord's Mansion.
I heard that she has not been promoted to Yuanying for a long time, but her age is not young, and she was not famous before, but for some reason she was suddenly promoted by Li Xiao to the left envoy.
These people are now the highest ruling class in the entire Yanzhou.
After the four of them were seated, everyone in the hall immediately bowed in unison.
"I've seen the lords, I've seen all the seniors!"
The respectful voice echoed in the hall, and no one dared to overstep it.
Li Xiao is not a person who likes to put on a show, and when he saw this, he immediately called everyone.
"Everyone, please get up!"
After Mo Zhuoyu and the others straightened up when they heard this, no one spoke without permission.
Li Xiao was not verbose, and directly revealed today's purpose.
"The deadline for the election of the lord of Yuecheng has arrived, and I will not repeat the completion of your tasks. To convene you today is to announce the final results. ”
As he spoke, Li Xiao beckoned to Sun Ling beside him.
Seeing this, Sun Ling, who was standing aside, immediately took out a scroll from his sleeve.
Sun Ling looked at Li Xiao and saw that Li Xiao nodded, so he slowly unfolded the scroll.
"In this Yuecheng City Lord Contest Competition, the candidates who completed the task were, Lin Yue, Du Jiangting, Mo Zhuoyu, Cen Man, and Su Zigui. ”
This result was already known to everyone, and it was not surprising to hear it. Everyone's attention was on the back, so everyone was still staring at Sun Ling's next words.
Seeing this, Sun Ling did not pretend to be mysterious, and after a pause, he continued, "Among the five people, Mo Zhuoyu completed the most difficult task, and Lin Yue completed the task the fastest. After the comprehensive consideration of the lord and several seniors, the final ranking of several people is as follows"
"First place, Mo Zhuoyu!"
"Second place, Su Zigui"
"Followed by Lin Yue, Cen Man, and Du Jiangting. ”
At this point, the results seemed to have come out, but Mo Zhuoyu looked at Sun Ling's gaze towards him, but he felt that things didn't seem to be so simple.
Sure enough, after Sun Ling put away the scroll, Li Xiao did not immediately announce the candidate for the city lord of Yuecheng.
He looked at everyone, and his eyes were fixed on Mo Zhuoyu and Su Zigui.
Seeing this, Mo Zhuoyu's heart instantly tightened.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xiao finally spoke, but what he mentioned was not the election of the city lord.
"Today, the Lord's Mansion just received a piece of news. ”
