Chapter 363 The Secret of the City Lord!
Xueya City, in the tall and magnificent city lord’s mansion.
Today, the leaders of the four major families in the city have all gathered in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. The atmosphere is so silent that it is a little scary.
Song Zhao, the Lord of Xueya City, was sitting in the main seat at this time. He was surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere. His calm face seemed to be suppressing a volcano that was about to erupt, and he was violent and manic.
In the silent atmosphere, Song Zhao, the lord of Xueya City, finally sighed, breaking the tranquility in the hall.
"Now there seems to be an evil spirit causing chaos outside the city, cutting off trade routes, abducting civilians, and trying to overthrow Xueya City. Do you have any strategies to deal with the enemy?"
Song Zhao looked at the patriarchs of the four major families present. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if it were real, and brought a great sense of oppression to the patriarchs of the four major families.
Hearing this, the patriarchs of the four families of Xue, Yao, Huang and Zhan all looked embarrassed. The evil spirits outside the city were too strong and extremely cunning.
Several of their families had also organized teams to encircle and hunt down evil spirits, but they returned empty-handed every time. They didn't even find a hair of the evil spirits outside the city. The evil spirits outside the city seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through everything. Any action of the four families could not be hidden from the eyes of the evil spirits. Any efforts they made were in vain and of no use at all.
However, these words were all the experiences and feelings of several families in hunting monsters outside the city. They could not tell the truth in front of the Lord of Xueya City, otherwise it would make the four major families appear incompetent and lose face.
After exchanging glances, the Blood Family's patriarch Xue Hai stood up and said loudly:
"Reporting to the city lord, the evil spirits outside the city should not be strong, but extremely cunning. They dare not confront the blood warriors of our four major families head-on. Obviously, their strength is limited and they cannot defeat us. If we can find the traces of the evil spirits outside the city and then send troops to encircle and suppress them, we will definitely be able to capture the evil spirits outside the city and eliminate future troubles!"
The Blood Family leader's speech seemed to hit the nail on the head, but it was like saying nothing. Hearing it, the City Lord Song Zhao frowned slightly.
The demons outside the city are cunning and avoid fighting. They bully the weak and fear the strong. If it weren't for their strong hiding ability, they would have been surrounded and wiped out by the Blood Warriors team of Xueya City. It has long been a well-known fact that the demons have been wreaking havoc until now.
If we can find the trace of the evil spirit outside the city, then we can still have this meeting today!!
Song Zhao knew that the patriarchs of the four major families in the city were playing tricks on him by these four old foxes, and he felt unhappy about it, but he still looked serious.
"Don't worry. As the Lord of Xueya City, I will naturally protect Xueya City. I have already sent a message to the Lord of the neighboring Dongshi City, asking him to send a blood warrior who is good at tracking in Dongshi City to Xueya City for assistance. With his help, we will be able to find the trace of the evil spirit outside the city and completely surround and kill it!"
"That's great, thank you, City Lord!"
Hearing Song Zhao's words, the four family heads showed a hint of joy on their faces. The evil spirits outside the city had been wreaking havoc in Xueya City for so many days, which really brought huge losses to their four families. There were three or four blood warriors in each family alone, which was a serious blow.
Now that they finally saw some hope of strangling the evil spirits outside the city, they were naturally extremely happy.
The patriarchs of the four major families have also heard of the blood warrior in Dongshi City who is good at tracking. It is said that the blood warrior practiced a special blood warrior technique. After mastering it, his nose will undergo a mutation and he can distinguish the breath of all things and track them. He is very good at it.
With him coming to Xueya City, he will definitely be able to track down the evil spirits outside the city. When the time comes, the blood warrior team of Xueya City will move out together and will definitely be able to crush the evil spirits outside the city to ashes and eradicate them completely.
Soon, while several forces in Xueya City were waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, Elio and his men no longer focused on the caravans coming and going outside Xueya City and attacked the rich resource points, but began to plunder all living beings outside Xueya City.
Whether it is a living person or an animal or plant living in the wild.
Anything that Elio and his team saw that was not in Aoki Fukuchi was packed up and taken away, and sent to Aoki Fukuchi.
Fan Changqing, who returned to Qingmu Fudi in advance, also arranged for his officials to prepare to welcome these creatures from outside Xueya City.
Many of the creatures from Xueya City who came to Qingmu Blessed Land had practiced the blood warrior techniques and had some strength. It was impossible for them to be willingly convinced and loyal when they were forcibly abducted into Qingmu Blessed Land. If they resisted, some problems would easily arise, affecting the daily lives of ordinary people under Fan Changqing.
Therefore, after these creatures from Xueya City are sent in, Fan Changqing is still needed to bring people to guard, train and tame them.
Fan Changqing is also an old man under Lu Feng. He has a mature system for dealing with outsiders. The creatures outside Xueya City are of the best quality he has seen in these years. Living in a world like the Bloody Trial for a long time, these creatures are bathed in the blood of the ancients, and their bodies and spirits are nourished. Their average qualifications and talents are much higher than those of other people in Qingmu Fudi.
However, the average level is high, and there are some third-level masters, but Fan Changqing's men are also strong.
Fan Changqing can call upon the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers that Lu Feng had trained before at will. Qingmu Fudi has also cultivated some third-level practitioners of its own over the years, and there are quite a few of them. It will be no problem for them to subdue these outsiders from Xueya City.
The most important thing is that Fan Changqing, a fourth-level god, is in charge of Qingmu Blessed Land. Those blood warriors who have not made a breakthrough among the foreign creatures in Xueya City have no ability to resist Fan Changqing at all.
Under the dual attack of the stick and the carrot, Fan Changqing believes that it won't be long before these outsiders will slowly integrate into the society of Qingmu Fukuchi.
Lu Feng also had great confidence in Fan Changqing, so he just let go of such small matters and let Fan Changqing and the others do it boldly.
If something really happens, in Qingmu blessed land, we have Lu Feng, the lord of the blessed land, to cover the situation, so it won't be too bad.
Watching these creatures from Xueya City who entered Qingmu Blessed Land and began to get into the state and learn how to practice, Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh that these people were born in the Blood Trial World and were really lucky to meet him.
Otherwise, ordinary creatures in the Blood Trial World would just live their whole lives in a daze even if they lived to old age.
Even if they are exposed to the blood warrior cultivation method and become blood warriors by chance, they can only be arrogant in this world for a while at most. Like a frog in a well, they will never be able to appreciate the beauty of the starry sky, nor will they have the opportunity to display their talents and comprehend the wonders of the laws.
However, now that they have met Lu Feng, when they have cultivated to the late third stage and started to comprehend the laws, it will be the time for them to show their talents. It will also be the happiest time for Lu Feng to harvest leeks and share his understanding of the laws.
Compared with them, the ordinary people who were deceived by Sulis and Greda from the Western Regions on the other side of the Earthly Immortal World were much inferior in talent and qualifications.
An ordinary person in the Bloody Trial World is probably equivalent to ten ordinary people in the Western Region World.
The difference in talent is enough to create a huge gap between them in cultivation and understanding of the laws.
To reach the third level in the same way, with sufficient resources, the former may only need one hundred to eighty years, while the latter may take four to five hundred years.
However, Lu Feng didn't care much about this gap.
The quality of the Western world is poor, but it is easy to introduce population. As the number increases, some masters can always be accumulated.
Besides, classes are eternal in Qingmu Fudi. There will always be some weaker practitioners to serve the stronger ones and to create a social system with orderly competition and striving for progress.
The quality of the Scarlet Trial world is high, but it is a little difficult to introduce.
There are also some powerful blood warriors in Xueya City. When Elio and his men are looting outside the city, they have to be careful at all times and not be careless, for fear that they will accidentally fall into the trap set by Xueya City.
However, fortunately, with the information collected by the system spread by Licorice and Lu Feng's space gate, it is convenient for Elio and his team to transfer. So far, their hunting team has been safe and sound and has reaped a lot of rewards.
Even five days ago, when Song Zhao, the Lord of Xueya City, borrowed Zheng Gou, the blood warrior who could smell the breath of all things, from Dongshi City, he was still unable to track down Elio and the others.
Lu Feng has the means of several cultivation systems, including wizards, earthly immortals, and gods.
Ever since Elio and his team started playing hide-and-seek with Blood Edge City, every member of the team has learned a lot of techniques to conceal their breath and hide their tracks, as well as the auxiliary systems to fill in the gaps, making it easy to deal with a dog nose that relies entirely on natural ability.
After all the efforts to no avail, Song Zhao, the Lord of Xueya City, was furious and smashed countless tables in the Lord's Mansion.
What Elio and the others didn't know was that their unintentional actions in the process of actively introducing living beings to Qingmu Fudi in accordance with Master Lu Feng's request had actually brought such tremendous mental torture to the major forces in Xueya City.
This situation lasted for less than a month, and the area outside Xueya City was like it had been gnawed by dogs, with not even a piece of meat left.
The villages and strongholds outside the city were all deserted.
Ordinary people who react quickly still have a chance to escape into Xueya City, but those who react slowly are basically sent to Qingmu Fudi by Elio and the others.
At this time, the people of Xueya City were already in a panic, fear was spreading, and they were immersed in the fear of the coming of doomsday.
The City Lord Song Zhao and the patriarchs of the four major families in the City Lord's Mansion no longer had the energy and spirit they had in previous days. Their faces were filled with fatigue and sadness.
"How about we ask our ancestor from the family to go to the Blood God Temple? The ancestor of our Blood Family is extremely powerful. If he comes to Xueya City, he will definitely be able to arrest the evil creature outside the city!"
Finally, they didn't want to be troubled by the evil creatures outside the city anymore, so the patriarchs of the four major families gathered together, discussed it, and made a proposal to the city lord Song Zhao.
"No, I don't agree!"
However, what he was greeted with was a stern rejection from the city lord Song Zhao.
His bloodshot eyes stared at the patriarchs of the four major families in front of him, and anger burned in his heart.
Sitting in the position of the city lord, Song Zhao understood that the proposals of the four major families were obviously harbouring evil intentions.
Once they invite the ancestor of the Blood God Temple to leave, his tenure as the city lord of Xueya City will probably be over. By then, the evil spirits outside the city will surely be eliminated, but he, as the city lord, will probably be forced to sacrifice heroically in the battle with the evil spirits outside the city.
As the lord of Xueya City, he seems to have a high status, but in the eyes of those blood warriors who go to the Blood God Temple, he is just a stronger person.
Any small movement could cause him to die silently.
"Humph, you make it sound so easy. Do you know how many resources are needed to summon your family ancestors in the Blood God Temple? It also requires the accumulation of a hundred years of Xueya City. Can your families provide these things? You really want to do whatever you want. You have to ask the ancestors to come down for such a small matter. Then, is there any need for your major families to exist? Otherwise, I will ask an ancestor from the Blood God Temple to send away the evil spirits outside the city and you unfilial descendants."
The city lord Song Zhao pointed at the noses of several major families and cursed them, making the patriarchs of the major families dare not even breathe.
As the city lord, Song Zhao controls Xueya City. To be honest, the cards in his hand are not something that they can challenge.
"City Lord, calm down! City Lord, calm down!"
Seeing Song Zhao's fierce reaction, Xue Hai, the head of the Xue family, started to speak nice words with several other people to comfort the furious Song Zhao.
Looking at each other, there were meaningful expressions on their faces, as if the irritating words just now were not said by them.
"Since asking the Blood God Temple's ancestors for help won't work, why don't we pay some price and ask some acquaintances for help? The number of blood warriors in our Xueya City is not enough to conduct a carpet search of the wild. Find more people and conduct a carpet search directly. I don't believe that the power of several cities cannot solve the problem of the evil spirits outside the city!"
When one suggestion failed, the four major families began to put forward new suggestions.
Compared with the brainless proposal of asking the ancestor just now, the city lord Song Zhao seemed to be much more receptive to asking for help from other cities.
Soon, the city lord Song Zhao and the patriarchs of the four major families started arguing again over the resources they each provided for hiring people. They blamed each other and finally reached a balance after some arguing. Then the city lord Song Zhao sent a message to several nearby cities to ask for reinforcements.
At this time, Lu Feng was still lying in the yard of Xueya City, holding an old book and reading it carefully.
Although he seemed serious and studious, in fact, Lu Feng's attention was basically on the auxiliary system panel in his mind. He was reading the information collected by the system that was spread by Licorice.
This news talks about the special nature of the City Lord's Mansion.
"The lord of a city, holding the seal, is one with the city, with unlimited power!"
This piece of information is a secret collected by the auxiliary system from the library of the Blood Family. From these few words, it is explained that the City Lord of the Blood Trial World seems not to be as simple as a title on the surface, but a special existence connected to the city at his feet with incredible power.
"Could it be that in this bloody trial world, the city lord is the opportunity that we, the Morning Star wizards, who are participating in it, are looking for?"
