Chapter 262: Hiding a knife in a smile
"Well, at this point, I announce that this centennial selection is officially over! Those who have not passed should not be discouraged! Where is the world so big that you don't practice? Moreover, in addition to our five sects, there are many good sects in this land! So you can go there! But you can't underestimate those sects, even the weakest sects on this side of the earth are not comparable to your city!"
"That's right! What Senior Gongsun said is! It is true that you can't underestimate the sects, and there are several of these sects that can stand side by side with our five sects! So, you don't have to worry about whether your resources are enough! But you have to worry about whether your cultivation can support you in obtaining those resources!"
"Yes, my obedience to the messenger's words!" the group of monks who had not passed the selection nodded heavily!
"Well, that's right! Now let's move on to the second item of the Centennial Election! The battle of the city lords! and the ranking of the various families in your Wanqing City!" Looking at those young talents who didn't lose confidence because they didn't enter the Five Sects, Gongsun Yu couldn't help but nod secretly! The setbacks on the way to cultivation are not terrible, what is terrible is that they don't have the courage to face setbacks!
Cultivation is like life, no one is always smooth sailing! There are always ups and downs along the way! Only by holding the rudder well can the boat be proud of strong winds and waves!
"Haha! It's finally going to begin!"
"This time, our family will definitely rush into the top ten!"
"Huh! Want to be in the top 10?
As for the battle between the city lords, the reason why these families were so excited was because the higher the family ranking, the more resources they allocated from the five sects to Wanqing City!
Think about it, too, will the resources allocated by the five sects be small? Will they only be given to the family that controls a city? Obviously, it is impossible! If the resources allocated by the sect are only given to one family! Then these five sects might as well select a few powerful families with great talent from the younger generations for training!
Only by keeping a vigilant heart at all times can people become stronger and stronger! Only when the five sects become more and more powerful!
"Hehe! Calm down! I know you're all excited! But I'll announce the rules first! This time, in order to save time, change the previous pattern! All the families participating in the battle of the city lord, the number of people they chose remains the same, it is the same as before, it is ten! But this time it is not a one-on-one heads-up! It is a melee of all the people who participate in the selection of the city lord!"
"Ah?!" Everyone was stunned, and the excitement on their faces disappeared without a trace! Such a scuffle is full of dangers! All kinds of things have become confusing! Those originally powerful families may also be knocked off the cliff at the beginning!
After all, this melee is like fighting for that seat! Naturally, they will take the lead in attacking the most powerful! Only by clearing the most powerful ones who can threaten themselves, and then fighting against those with equal strength, can they have a chance to be on top!
So those families at the bottom of the rankings all nodded with the families who were friends with them, no matter what the final result was, they needed to hold a group now!
Of course, some people are happy and some are worried, and many of those families that rank high are worried that they will become the target of attacks by all families as soon as they come up! Although there are many families that are good friends, this opportunity to ascend to the throne is only once in a hundred years! Who doesn't want to be on the throne?
They are not like those who are at the bottom of the rankings! They are already at the bottom, no matter how much they lose, no matter how they lose!
But these top-ranked families are different! Although there are good families, they are basically all interests! And at this time, in the face of greater interests, the friendly relationship established before has undoubtedly become the biggest joke now!
As a result, these higher-ranked families are all showing a little wariness of their allies! But in doing so, they have created opportunities for those lower-ranked families! Although they still don't look moving, they are always communicating with each other!
Among these families, the Shao family and the Tong family bear the brunt! One is the current city lord's mansion, and the other is the former city lord's mansion! Although the Tong family was very depressed for a period of time after being pulled down from the position of city lord by the Shao family!
But the emaciated camels were bigger than the horses, and they soon grew up again! At this point, they became the first family! And the strength of their family was restored to the same position as they were in the city lord's mansion!
"Hehe, old lady Shao! What about the people of your Shao family? How come it is so far from the selection, how come there is no one from the Shao family after you two grandfathers! Are they sick? Or are they dead!" At this moment, a very sneering voice came into everyone's ears!
When Old Man Shao heard this, he smiled calmly, and he didn't pay attention to this sarcasm at all! "Hehe! Pan boy! Why don't you young man accumulate some virtue? Be careful of dying unexpectedly!"
It was Pershing who spoke, and after hearing Old Lady Shao's counterattack, he plucked out his ears, and then smiled meaningfully: "Hehe, Old Lady Shao, I don't know if I died unexpectedly, but you~hum! How many of you have come out to fight now?"
"Oh, boy Pan, have you forgotten me? Do you know that I abused your great-grandfather like a chicken!
"Hahaha! Just as the so-called heroes don't mention the courage of the past! Dealing with us alone! Hehe! Ridiculous! Maybe you blow yourself up and maybe you can save some advantages! But now the Shao family, allow you to have a little accident!"
"Hahaha! Old Man Pershing! Do you think too highly of you? Five fingers can torture and kill you! Let Old Man Shao make a move, it's really daring!"
A very hearty laughter melodiously came into everyone's ears! That laughter was ridiculous and proud! But the laughter had long since disappeared with the wind, but no one was ever seen!
This Pershing looked at the west, and carefully observed it up, down, left, and right! But he never found it! "Who? Who is pretending to be a ghost!"
"Okay! Pershing!" At this time, Tong Chongxin, who was beside Pershing, patted him on the shoulder, then put his hands behind his back, and said calmly to the air in front of him!
Just when everyone was puzzled, the space on the ground in front of Tong Chongxin seemed to have been torn off! Xiao Yao led the people of the Shao family to slowly appear in everyone's eyes!
It turned out that this Yao Yao and the others had cast a hidden formation and had been hiding in this curtain, quietly observing the people under the bell and drum tower!
"Hahaha! It's still the head of the Tong family! He actually discovered us! It's not simple, it's not simple!"
Tong Chongxin was not angry when he heard this, and the young people present may not understand what he meant. But those old guys who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years can hear that this Yao is disgusting Tong Chongxin!
But this Tong Chongxin is very calm, obviously this Tong Chongxin's qi cultivation kung fu is very sufficient!
"Brother Tong, this!this!this!" Before Tong Chongxin could speak, the arrogant Pershing beside him panicked!
Why is this Pershing so frightened of this old lady Shao's cultivation of the same kind of Wei Yao? Just because this Pershing was not abused by Wei Yao when he was young! It was simply two abuses a day! Even if he became the head of the family, the fear of Wei Yao in his heart still did not disappear!
However, Tong Chongxin did not answer Pershing, but smiled and arched his hand to Wei Yao: "Hehe! Brother Shao praises falsely! How can this little cultivation of the younger brother be compared with the old brother! Such a method of concealing the sky and crossing the sea is really very against the sky!"
Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, this Tong Chongxin is really not simple! On the surface, he is praising Qi Yao, but in fact he is ridiculing! As a city lord, he does such a thing as a rat!
Then everyone looked at Wei Yao, and they all wanted to see how this Qi Yao fought back! They all wanted to see who was more powerful among the descendants of the lords of these two cities! Of course, they also got their wish!
"Hehe! Brother Tong is humble! Little brother, my little tricks have been seen through by Brother Tong! How can it be called against the sky? Brother Tong really respects me!"
As the lord of a city, for the sake of a city, I can break my heart! So unworthy of respect! I see that Brother Shao is too hardworking, and I want to help Brother Shao bear some of it!"
Hehe! What the breaks my heart! It's all! Although the City Lord's Mansion is in charge of a city, the City Lord's Mansion never asks about those trivial things! This shop goes bankrupt and that shop rises!
And so on, the City Lord's Mansion never asked, as long as you don't cause any trouble, you can toss this Wanqing City as much as you want! What else does it mean to help bear some! Don't you just want to be the city lord!
"Hahaha! Brother Tong is concerned! But I can still deal with the affairs of this city! Brother Tong can do business with peace of mind!"
Hehe! Do you want to be the lord of this city? Dream about it! You better stay honest!
The two seem to be friends who haven't seen each other for many years, but in fact, they are both smiling and hiding knives!
The two of them were chatting happily and unhappily! Just when the two of them were chatting the most happily, two powerful momentum "boomed" into each other! Everyone was taken aback by this sudden attack! Obediently! How could the two of them, who had been chatting happily just now, be like the enemy who killed their father at this time!
"Hehe! It really seems to be like a rumor!"
Someone muttered a smile at this! Apparently he knew something, and some of the monks beside him became curious!
"Brother, brother, what's going on? Even if it's for the position of the city lord, the two of them won't stand apart like this!"
"Yes, yes, brother, hurry up and tell us about it!"
"Hehe!
It turned out that a few months ago, the Shao family discovered a newly unearthed ruin! Because the formation outside the ruins was very strong, they united many cities!
And how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, even if these city lords' mansions are very careful! But they are still understood by people with hearts! And in addition to the city lord's mansion family, the top families of the city lord's mansion are involved!
