Chapter 0424: Running for the City Lord
The battle between Tianhe City and the Sea Clan has become famous since then.
On that day, Ye Nan was worried that Xue Mengyao and others would lose in chasing the enemy, so he sent Sima Yunfeng, A Meow, and Xiaobai to protect him, and Yu Wenyan, Yu Wenshuo, Xue Yun, Qi Guang and others led the elite of the law enforcement team to chase after the rest of the Sea Clan. The battle went straight to the end of the next day, and the Terran monks chased and killed the Sea Clan for more than 500 miles, killing the Sea Clan from then on.
In this battle, the Terran fell four Yuan Infant Stage monks, seven were seriously injured, more than 20 Jindan Stage monks were killed in the battle, and other low-level monks were as many as 30,000 or 40,000, which can be described as heavy losses.
At the same time, the kill rate of the Sea Clan is not small, and there are twelve or thirteen sea beasts that have killed level five, among which Ha Mohai, the leader of the Sea Clan's invasion this time, was directly killed by Ye Nan. The remaining fifth-level sea clans also fled with their own belts, and there were almost no specific numbers for the fourth-level sea beasts and third-level cannon fodder.
In a word, this battle completely crippled this invading Terran Sea Clan force, and there was no place for the Sea Clan in the Sea of Souls from now on.
This battle completely played the prestige of the human race, and at the same time, Ye Nan's name once again became a well-known hero.
When everyone happily returned to Tianhe City, Ye Nan retreated to heal his wounds, and Shangguan Hong was by his side silently guarding.
Time flies, more than three months have passed, but Ye Nan in retreat has not yet been released.
"Alas...... Why hasn't it come out yet? Fellow Daoists, can you go and spread the word for the old man again, this senior Jin Yue has an urgent matter to summon Senior Ye. ”
At this time, many monks gathered at the gate of Ye Nandong Mansion, and one of them was Qin Zhuoming, who was known as Mr. Yes.
"Qin Daoyou, it's not that we don't report it, you know, our master has been seriously injured since the first battle of the Sea Clan, and now it is a critical moment for retreat and healing, and it is nothing to blame if it disturbs the master's healing, but it will be difficult to deal with it if it affects the injury. ”
Qi Guang reluctantly stepped forward to explain, after all, this good gentleman has a good relationship with Ye Nan, and he also has a small status in the entire Tianhe City.
"This ...... Alas...... I also know this, now it's a matter of importance, senior Jin has already urged the old decay three or four times, if this doesn't appear again, I'm afraid it will be ......"
Before Qin Zhuoming's words fell, he heard a "roar" The stone door opened, and a figure slowly walked out.
"What's the matter? Qin Daoyou is looking for me?"
"See the master!"
"Brother Ye, are you out of the customs?"
"Hehe~!Brother Ye!"
"Xianggong!"
A large group of people gathered around and began to greet each other.
"Haha...... I'm sorry, I'm worried, the injury has healed better than Ben, everyone can rest assured, rest assured. Ye Nan smiled, saluted one by one, and stretched out his hand to grab Sima Yunfeng and Xue Mengyao.
"Congratulations to Senior Ye for getting out, the junior has been waiting for a long time. Qin Zhuoming hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.
"Hehe~!Qin Daoyou doesn't need to be polite, seeing that you are in such a hurry, what happened?" Ye Nan smiled slightly, and pulled Qin Zhuoming up.
"Oh, my senior Ye, senior Jin Yue has been looking for you many times, now that the Sea Clan has retreated, Tianhe City should organize a celebration ceremony to celebrate. However, the lord of the city of Tianhe City went mad and died in this retreat, and now the entire city of Tianhe is in chaos without a leader. Qin Zhuoming introduced while pulling Ye Nan away.
"Ah~!Why didn't you inform me of this big thing earlier?" Ye Nan immediately pretended to be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked a few steps. "All of you stay home and wait for me, and I'll be back later to make an announcement. Before leaving, Ye Nan dropped this sentence and left in a hurry.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you don't understand what's going on. Since Ye Nan said that something was announced, let's wait, say waiting, but everyone sorted out their things and prepared some wine and food, waiting for Ye Nan to celebrate when he returned.
Along the way, Qin Zhuoming repeatedly introduced what had happened in the city recently. The first is the report of the battle between the cities during these three months. Due to the defeat of the Sea Clan's army, the lord of the city ordered the entire line to pursue and regain the lost territory, and sent a large number of monks to be stationed in the various island sub-cities.
In just over two months, all the islands around Tianhe City have been recovered. Although it encountered some small-scale resistance, the sea clan was over, and it was impossible to recover the losses, and finally killed countless people stationed in the sea clan, completely driving the sea clan out of the Tianhe City.
I thought it was a huge victory, but there was news that the city lord had gone crazy in practice. The entire Tianhe City was suddenly plunged into waves again. Now there is no leader in the city, but fortunately, Zen Master Jin Yue went out in time to take charge of the overall situation, and finally prepared to hold a meeting to discuss the candidate for the next city lord.
However, now that the war has just ended, all the infant monks stationed on the island around them heard that they were going to run for the lord of the city, and they all returned one by one, and there was even a situation where there were no high-ranking monks stationed in the large city.
In order to avoid any changes in Tianhe City, Master Jin Yue's decision to elect the city lord of Tianhe City as soon as possible has become a top priority. This meeting has been held many times, but Ye Nan, the most authoritative elder of the Tianhe City Law Enforcement Team, has not been able to show up for a long time due to his serious injuries, which makes the high-level leaders of Tianhe City even more uncertain.
"I see!" Ye Nan nodded slowly, already expecting it in his heart.
Obviously, after getting rid of the Liang City Lord, Master Jin Yue had already planned to ask Ye Nan to take over the position of City Lord, and at the meeting of the candidates who won or lost the Seven Battles, Master Jin Yue had clearly put forward the conditions for participating in this competition, that is, the position of the City Lord of Tianhe City.
For example, today, there are almost no major cultivators and overseas hermits in the city of River, and they are staring at the position of this city lord one by one, if they don't choose the most authoritative candidate, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny. For this reason, Master Jin Yue will find Ye Nan to go out and preside over the overall situation.
Of course, with Ye Nan's current reputation and ability, to be the city lord of Tianhe City, I believe that there will not be too many people who oppose it.
Soon, Qin Zhuoming took Ye Nan all the way into the conference hall of Tianhe City unimpeded.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw more than a dozen elders of Tianhe City and Master Jin Yue talking,
"Master Ye!"
"I've seen Master Ye!"
"Master Ye, you're here. When many monks saw Ye Nan come in, they all showed awe on their faces, and they all stood up to salute.
"I'm sorry, don't be embarrassed, Ye has just come out of the customs, and he's late. Ye Nan hurriedly smiled and returned the salute with fists one by one.
"Hehe~!Amitabha, has Senior Brother Ye's injuries healed?" Master Jin Yue smiled and got up to greet him.
"Ye, how can he bother, and the senior brother got up to greet him. Ye Nan hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to return the salute, and then chatted politely with Zen Master Jin Yue.
"Senior Brother Ye, if the shape of the river city is complicated today, I'm afraid that we will do our best to select a highly respected senior brother to take over the position of the city lord, I don't know who Senior Brother Ye will choose?" Master Jin Yue took Ye Nan's hand and sat down slowly, and then asked cordially.
"Uh...... The junior brother feels that the most authoritative and respected person in the city of rivers today should be Senior Brother Jin Yue. So ......" Ye Nan symbolically mentioned, but Ye Nan understood that Zen Master Jin Yue was the last city lord, so it was impossible to be selected again.
"Hehe~!Where did Senior Brother Ye come from, Senior Brother I have already run for the city lord once, and according to the regulations, I can't run again. ”
"This ...... After all, junior brother, during the time I have been in office, who is capable of doing it in this Tianhe City...... This is really ......" Ye Nan pretended to scratch his head, indicating that there was no way.
"Hehe~!Senior Brother Ye has just returned to Tianhe City, which is also a matter of course. We elders had discussed this with each other not long ago, and now we have really thought of a candidate in terms of seniority, prestige, and even supernatural powers. Zen Master Jin Yue smiled slightly and replied slowly.
"Oh, who is this person, and can he get such a high evaluation in the mouth of his senior brother?" Ye Nan blinked and asked.
"Hehe~! This person is far away in the sky, close in front of him. It's Senior Brother Ye, you!" Master Jin Yue smiled and said earnestly.
"What? No, no, no, junior brother, I have just been promoted not long ago, and my qualifications are still not enough, so the city lord's affairs are absolutely unacceptable. Ye Nan hurriedly excused himself after hearing this, but smiled secretly in his heart.
"Senior Brother Ye, don't shirk it, do you want to watch Tianhe City fall into crisis again? Now that the great enemy is present, but Tianhe City is leaderless, I am afraid that there will be a civil strife soon, and at that time, I am afraid that the Sea Clan will take advantage of the chaos to attack again. Master Jin Yue hurriedly persuaded him.
"Yes, yes, now that the crisis of the Sea Clan has not been resolved, I am afraid that the position of the city lord will be vacant for a long time. ”
"That's right. And not long ago, the crisis of Tianhe City was also broken by Master Ye, killing the leader of the Sea Clan, Ha Mohai, and repelling the attack of the sea beasts, such a record may not be found in the entire Tianhe City. ”
"Now in terms of qualifications and military merits, who can compare to Master Ye, so many of our elders voted unanimously, and the position of the city lord is none other than Master Ye. ”
The infant elders present spoke out one after another, and they were in awe of Ye Nan one by one.
"This ...... This is unacceptable, although I Ye Nan has made a small contribution, but I really don't understand this management position......" Ye Nan is still pretending to resign.
"Senior Brother Ye, you don't need to worry too much about this management, in addition to having a certain deterrent effect, the city lord's existence is to formulate some major events that are difficult to choose, and almost all of the rest can be handed over to his subordinates. Hehe~!, Senior Brother Ye, don't shirk it. Master Jin Yue still smiled faintly and patted Ye Nan's shoulder.
"This ...... I...... Alas...... How about asking junior brother to think about it?" Ye Nan pretended to be very embarrassed and raised the matter of consideration.
Of course, this kind of consideration is actually just a formality, after all, Ye Nan can't be cheeky and directly agree.
"Okay, we're waiting for the good news from junior brother!"
