Chapter 133 Secrets Must Be Spoken Loudly…
Putting aside everything else, this Jiangling city lord's fighting scenes are nothing short of spectacular.
Yan Shi sighed.
Dong Tong is a master wood-type spirit master, and he vividly demonstrated the flexible use of wood spirits to Yan Shi.
Behind her materialized a gigantic sycamore tree, its branches outstretched like arms, its leaves trembling slightly in the wind with spiritual energy, lifelike. Whenever the branches and leaves swayed gently, the surrounding air seemed to be dyed a rich green, brimming with vitality.
When life reaches its extreme, it leads to destruction.
If this city lord were to step down one day, he could easily find a job at the botanical garden. This skill is a perfect match for the botanical garden.
As Yan Shi deftly dodged the branches that were lashing at her, she was lost in thought.
A colossal wave surged forth, crashing against the branches of the phoenix tree. Two powerful spiritual energies collided in mid-air, sending out terrifying aftershocks.
The air was filled with mist and greenery, but instead of soothing, it brought tension.
Dong Tong's expression became even more serious.
Yanlan truly lives up to her reputation as Director Yan's sister.
Watery spirits are like a part of her, moving as she pleases.
They are all Grand Spirit Masters, but naturally there are differences between them.
Some great spirit masters barely reach the edge, and in the more detailed Western magic system, they can't even defeat a mage; some great spirit masters have spirits as their subjects, and when their control over spirits is strong enough, they can materialize spirits.
The phoenix tree in Dongtong's possession is the embodiment of her spirit. As for Yanlan, Dongtong cannot discern the content of her embodiment; she can only guess that Yanlan's embodiment might be a water spirit.
Suddenly, Dong Tong's expression changed. She could feel that part of the phantom of the phoenix tree had disappeared from her perception.
Dongtong immediately removed the nearby branches and looked closely.
With a graceful movement, Yanlan pointed the halberd he had been holding into the air. A chilling aura emanated from the halberd's tip, instantly dissipating the surrounding greenery and vaporizing the wood spirit.
It was the pure aura of death.
Dong Tong's heart sank suddenly.
Wood spirits are spirits with great vitality, and are naturally countered by death.
However, death magic is very difficult to master; the first step to mastering it is to sense the aura of death. The generally accepted method in the underworld is to experience near-death states for extended periods or to be in close proximity to death for long periods.
This is also why the number of deceased is small, but the individual strength of most of them is great.
The more difficult a technique is to learn, the higher its potential.
Besides being a great water-based spirit master, Yanlan also practices death magic.
No, Yanlan has the ability and such an flamboyant personality, so why was this name never heard in the inner world before Director Yan took office?
Now is not the time to delve into Yanlan's background. Dongtong's attention became increasingly focused, and the nearby wood spirits were being rapidly summoned away and gathered together.
The most urgent task is to prevent Yanlan from successfully disrupting the event.
Otherwise, how could she continue to serve as the lord of Jiangling City?
More greenery surges forth, only to be quickly extinguished and then replenished one after another.
Dong Tong pursed her lips. Yan Lan probably couldn't maintain the aura of death for long, since every time the deceased used necromancy, they were taking a step closer to death.
If she can hold out against Yanlan for now, she still has a chance to turn the tables later.
Surprisingly, the Undead Halberd was quite easy to use in combat.
Yan Shi used her halberd again to scatter a branch that was trying to strike her, and lazily yawned.
She felt like she was playing a mini-game where there were tiles to eliminate, and you could tap one to eliminate it.
Boring but stress-relieving.
It just never ends.
After she had removed some more branches, she grew tired of the game.
Her gaze inadvertently swept across the arched windows on both sides of the banquet hall, where the bright moonlight streamed in.
Yan Shi gripped the Undead Halberd tightly, a familiar chill washing over her once more. She closed her eyes, and the shouts she had uttered when she last held the halberd's tip echoed in her ears again.
'Save us! Who can save us?'
'Mommy, Mommy, look at me. Don't fall asleep, please, don't fall asleep.'
'I want to go home, I want to go home...'
The sound of the tide came from afar, gradually becoming clearer.
Yan opened his eyes. Moonlight streamed through the French windows, and the tide rushed in, instantly turning the area into a vast ocean.
The sea submerged the roots of the sycamore tree, and the phantom began to wither, its leaves falling one by one.
Yan Shi waded through the tide and pressed the tip of the Undead Halberd against the neck of the dazed Dong Tong.
The phantom of the sycamore tree shattered and collapsed instantly. Dong Tong coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground.
Yan Shi whistled lightly and said lazily, "The renowned Lord of Jiangling City is nothing special after all."
The banquet hall was completely silent.
"This is really boring." Yan Shi sheathed the Deathbringer's Halberd and looked around. "Next, who's next?"
Her gaze swept over the surrounding guests, and the area she looked at remained silent.
Before Yan Shi could figure it out, Yu Youguan suddenly darted out from a corner of the crowd and winked at Yan Shi.
'I'm done!' she mouthed silently, while simultaneously holding up the number "19".
Yan Shi raised an eyebrow in surprise. Yu Youguan's efficiency was impressive.
She twirled the halberd in her hand: "I've changed my mind. I want to treat you to a fireworks display."
Dong Tong looked up at Yan Lan, her heart filled with complex emotions.
The outcome is already decided.
Dongtong simply hadn't experienced failure in a long time.
If Yan Lan is this strong, then what kind of strength must Director Yan possess?
Dong Tong suddenly felt a little relieved that it was Director Yan who took office, not Yan Lan.
Yan Ju at least takes absolute fairness as his anchor, while Yan Lan is almost unpredictable.
Just as Dong Tong's thoughts were drifting, a crisp "bang" suddenly came from the banquet hall, like the sound of a lighter being lit.
Immediately, the once silent hall began to stir, with more and more lighters being lit, their sounds echoing in the air.
A voice that Dong Tong recognized suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Yes, I've disliked Leonard for a long time. I was the one who messed up their deal in Port Fes last time. Leonard never dreamed that the translator was Nelson's subordinate, hahahahaha."
Dong Tong looked over in surprise and was astonished to see that it was Marquis Nelson.
Dongtong: ?
Leonard and Nelson have been allies for generations, their territories are adjacent, and they are jointly stationed in Dessieque County. Why would they suddenly reveal such a secret?
Has Nelson gone mad?
Before Dong Tong could react, Marquis Leonard beside her was already ashen-faced. She was in a state of utter panic. Her eldest daughter, whom she had brought with her and whom she trusted most, was engulfed in flames.
Flames surged from Little Lenna's palm, instantly igniting the spirits clinging to her. The flames flared up, engulfing everything around them.
Marquis Leonard tried to put out the fire, but soon discovered that it was impossible to extinguish.
Because the fuel of fire is spirit.
Leonard gritted his teeth, trying his best to control his breathing, attempting to condense a layer of spiritual energy shield to block the flames.
The spirit was rapidly being consumed, which in turn fueled the burning of the flames.
The tense situation, coupled with the increasing number of actions targeting the Leonard family that Marquis Nelson was making, caused Leonard's anger to gradually rise to its peak.
"Enough!" Marquis Leonard took a deep breath and said coldly, "Nelson, we're severing ties! This isn't over!"
It wasn't just the Marquis of Nelson; more and more guests in the banquet hall began to self-destruct, accompanied by clusters of flames burning, causing the temperature to rise sharply, and the entire banquet hall erupted in uproar.
No one can remain uninvolved.
Yan Shi: ?
Hahahahahahaha.
Yu Youguan's statement about picking one place to post and then picking another to provoke actually meant exactly what he said.
Talented individuals.
An absolute talent.
She's much better than her brother.

Yan Shi listened with great interest to the secrets that were no longer considered secrets at this point.
These powerful families use truly dirty tricks behind the scenes.
The banquet hall is now in complete disarray.
After the guests who had revealed their secrets one after another had finished, the flames began to turn pink, then detached from the people in an instant and flew into the air.
The dome of the banquet hall was pierced by pink flames, revealing the deep night sky outside.
After rising to its full height, the flames exploded, blossoming into a giant heart. Then, they transformed in succession, with multiple hearts flashing alternately and intertwining with each other, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene in the air.
The color scheme of this contraband is actually quite nice.
Yan Shi withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, revealing a big smile: "Surprise! How was my fireworks?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Youguan threw a piece of fire onto the curtains.
The area around the banquet hall burst into flames, and the central crystal chandelier fell and crashed to the ground, scattering crystals everywhere.
Amidst the deafening roar and noise, Dong Tong remained silent for a moment before softly saying, "Ms. Yanlan."
Yan Shi: "Hmm?"
Dong Tong raised his head, a hint of resignation and composure in his eyes: "On behalf of Jiangling, I formally declare our allegiance to you. I am willing to swear an oath to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs under the law."
The current situation leaves her no room for further hesitation.
Given tonight's situation, it is foreseeable that many countries will sever diplomatic ties, and the world will certainly be in turmoil and unrest in the near future.
The incident occurred at the banquet in Jiangling, and Jiangling bears full responsibility. As the city lord, she cannot escape blame.
Either Jiangling will fall under the jurisdiction of the foreign administration, or it will be besieged by multiple cities, and its future is bleak.
“Lord of the Eastern City.” Yan Shi slowly stopped smiling and looked at her expressionlessly. “You should know the outcome of the last dispute between Baiyujing and Jinzhou regarding the compensation for the Ju'e Plain.”
"The Bureau of Foreign Affairs does not want useless cities."
Dong Tong closed his eyes briefly: "Jiangling is willing to directly transfer half of its local tax revenue to the General Administration, and submit a detailed financial statement every year."
In other words, Gangneung voluntarily relinquished its local fiscal autonomy.
