"Xiao Xia, I'm sorry, I wronged you."
Chen An: "I didn't tell you in advance, you're right. But now is not the time to talk."
A large number of killers flew in from the sky all around, forming a huge black cloud.
Mu Lin's men were still being dispatched and were also rushing towards the Burial Star Garden.
As for Chen An's men, they will never move unless it comes to a critical moment.
What followed was a period of fighting, with blood flowing like a river on the Qixing Terrace.
Fortunately, the Qixingtai itself is made of special material and will not be damaged no matter how much it is tossed around.
Chen An and Chu Xiao cooperated with each other and were able to handle the situation with ease no matter how many enemies they encountered.
In his spare time, Chen An observed Zhu Die and found that the woman's cultivation was terrifying. Killing a third-level cultivator was as easy as drinking water.
Even if she was dealing with the fourth level, she could handle it with ease.
"Fuyao, estimate the strength of the Vermillion Butterfly."
[Maybe the peak of the fourth level, close to the fifth level]
“No wonder it’s so powerful.”
After fighting for about ten minutes, Mu Lin's men finally arrived.
In fact, he was late on purpose because he wanted more people to die at the scene.
But because Chen An liberated too many prisoners, their fighting power was too strong and only a few people could die in a short period of time.
In order to avoid any unexpected events if the matter was delayed for too long, Mu Lin had no choice but to order the army to enter the scene.
Above the sky, warships descended one after another, blocking out all the light from the stars.
Afterwards, countless masters flew to the Star Burial Garden and attacked Zhou Yao's men, and the situation between the two sides was reversed.
Zhou Yao was furious and shouted, "As the Palace Master, I order you to kill Mu Lin, Xia Zuo, and the others."
He was overthinking it. The fleet that could arrive at the scene in warships must be Mu Lin's absolute confidants who were loyal to him.
Zhou Yao tried to mobilize more troops, but found that most of them were intercepted outside the Star Burial Garden.
Even the Supervisory Department joined the battle. The inspectors set up obstacles everywhere, preventing Zhou Yao's men from getting close at all.
As the situation took a serious turn, there were fewer and fewer people around Zhou Yao, and many traitors sneaked to the other side.
In the crowd, Mu Lin found Chen An and reminded him: "Kill Zhou Yao with your own hands, and then we will nominate you."
Zhou Yao lives a life of luxury, his levels are all raised through resources and potions, so his combat power is not very strong.
Moreover, he did not have enough guards around him, so with the assistance of experts sent by Mu Lin, he could indeed be killed.
But Chen An cannot be killed.
Because no matter how many mistakes Zhou Yao made, he was still the Palace Master, and this identity was fixed.
In other words, whoever kills the Palace Master now will be charged with the crime.
Even if this charge can be erased later, it will definitely affect your future.
[Mu Lin tried to kill two birds with one stone, killing Zhou Yao and destroying you at the same time]
"Of course I know. I'm not that stupid."
Therefore, Chen An said to Mu Lin: "I'm not that strong, I'm afraid I can't kill him, how about you go?"
Mu Lin: "Believe in yourself, you can do it. With the merit and deterrence of killing Zhou Yao, others will submit to you. And I don't need to establish my authority!"
This is bullshit.
If Chen An had a higher status, or was directly at the fifth level of strength, killing Zhou Yao could indeed have a deterrent effect.
But the problem is that he is not now.
While I was thinking about how to solve this problem, I heard a scream from a distance.
Everyone looked up and saw that Zhou Yao's chest was pierced by the alloy sword.
The hilt of the sword was in Chu Xiao's hand.
She looked at Chen An and smiled.
"I'll do it!"
"I will bear all the sins!"
"Zhou Yao, you really deserve to die!"
The sword pierced the heart, but it was not immediately fatal.
Chu Xiao raised her leg and kicked, and the terrifying force landed on Zhou Yao's chest.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Zhou Yao's body exploded, his head and limbs were scattered all over the place, blood spurted out, and many people present were frightened into a daze.
Zhou Yao, who had been active in the Star Palace for many years, actually died just like that?
"She killed the Palace Master to avenge him."
Someone shouted loudly, causing a large number of masters to rush towards Chu Xiao. These were the death squads raised by Zhou Yao.
Chu Xiao didn't care at all. He laughed wildly and used his body as a weapon to charge into the crowd, causing half of the Qixingtai to be covered in blood mist and corpses.
Chen An could see that after killing Zhou Yao, Chu Xiao had undergone some kind of transformation and was completely different from before.
More than ten minutes later, the situation at the scene was under control. Chu Xiao, covered in blood, walked towards Chen An. Her originally crazy expression gradually relaxed, revealing a hint of shyness.
"Was I too ugly before?"
Chen An: "No, it looks great. Thank you!"
She helped Chen An out of trouble and didn't need to kill Zhou Yao and bear the blame.
For Chu Xiao, killing is killing. Even if the crime can be cleared away later, she doesn't care at all.
Mu Lin was the only one who was unhappy at the scene. He did not allow Zhou Yao to play his full role and his death was too casual.
"Capture all of Zhou Yao's followers."
Regardless of whether they were Zhou Yao's loyal supporters or traitors, they were all arrested. Mu Lin acted decisively.
After these things were done, Guo Yu reminded loudly: "The Xing Palace cannot be without a Palace Master for a day. I suggest that a new election be held."
An official asked, "But there are no nominations. What should we do?"
"Xia Zuo was nominated before, and I think it's still valid."
"That's inappropriate. He publicly declined the candidacy, so his nomination is automatically invalid. In my opinion, we should stop with the voting. Xinggong can't withstand continued turmoil. Let's see who has the highest prestige and can win the support of the people."
The second half of this statement resonated with many people.
If they vote again, who knows how many people will die. They can't bear it anymore.
There was silence for a while, and soon someone raised his hand.
"I nominate Xia Zuo as the new Palace Master. First, he was nominated by the old Palace Master, proving his ability and qualifications. Second, he personally exposed Zhou Yao's evil plot, making significant contributions to the Xing Palace. Third, he rose through the ranks from the expedition team, has a clean background, and has no interest groups behind him. He can serve the Xing Palace wholeheartedly."
Someone else immediately objected, "Minister Xia is still too young and lacks experience. I recommend Mu Lin. He's the commander-in-chief of the garrison army. He's never formed a clique for personal gain and has always protected the Tianwu Continent with dedication and dedication. When the old Palace Master was alive, he often praised his extraordinary talent, only regretting that he didn't have a larger platform to showcase it. Therefore, I believe Commander Mu Lin will definitely be a good Palace Master."
Next, people kept nominating, but they all nominated the two of them, and no third person was chosen.
In this way, new camps gradually emerged.
The emerging force with Chen An as the core, its core supporters include Zhu Die, Yu Jincheng, Chu Xiao and others.
On the other side is the old force with Mu Lin as the core, whose core supporters include Hu Mingfeng, Rong Hang and others.
Overall, Mu Lin's power is obviously stronger than Chen An's.
After all, many people on Chen An's side had their power taken away not long ago, and now they are not strong enough to stand on the same side.
When everyone present had almost formed their lines, Mu Lin said with a smile, "Although I control the garrison and can command the Extraordinary Group, isn't it a bit too much to be the Palace Master? Xia Zuo, how about you come?"
He looked at Chen An with anticipation in his eyes.
The meaning was very clear, he hoped Chen An would refuse in front of everyone.
At that time, he will give in and reluctantly agree.
However, Chen An raised his eyebrows and said in a strong voice: "Since Brother Mu is so humble, I will take the position. After all, I am not that arrogant. If you ask me to be the Palace Master, I will do it."
