"Brother Mei, come here, come here, come here." As soon as Ou Chuyang entered the conference hall, Di Zhenjie kindly pulled him to the next seat and sat opposite Mr. Wang.

"This time, Yanshan Hou colluded with the eight beast kings and launched an unprecedented fierce beast tide. It was really dangerous. Mei Aochu first gathered people to stand firm, fought bloody battles in the dangerous city, and tried his best to protect the city. He also exposed the conspiracy of Yanshan Hou and fought to save Hanyu Palace. In the end, he drove the beast tide and resolved the great disaster. He made great contributions! The fourth young master should reward him heavily." Mr. Wang held his long beard and nodded repeatedly to praise him.

"Yes, thanks to Brother Mei, our family was able to be preserved. I would like to thank Brother Mei for his kindness."

"It's really commendable. If it were me, I would never be able to stick to the fourth son's return to the rescue."

"Isn't it? At least I can't think of tricks to demolish houses, set fires, and poison domestic animals."

In the conference hall, many sword masters praised each other.

"Brother Mei is both civil and martial, and both wise and brave. I, Wei Dongheng, admires Ou Chuyang very much." Wei Dongheng even praised Ou Chuyang, "If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that when the Hanyu Palace was captured, I would still drink cold wind in the extremely cold snowfield."

"Those who have made meritorious should be rewarded." Di Zhenjie smiled and took a tray covered with red silk from his subordinates, handed it to Ou Chuyang, and announced loudly: "I will appoint Mei Aochu as the deputy city lord of Zhengxi Acropolis today to assist in managing all matters in the city. When I was not in the city, all matters of all sizes will be decided by Mei Aochu!"

It was less than a year since Ou Chuyang joined Di Zhenjie's disciple, and Di Zhenjie handed over such a heavy task to him. All the sword masters were amazed:

"I actually became the deputy city lord directly, this is really a success!"

"The fourth young master is really appointing people based on their merits and employing people without any doubts!"

Wei Dongheng laughed and said, "Congratulations to Brother Mei, no, I should say that congratulations to the deputy city lord."

"This..." Ou Chuyang was also surprised and stood up to refuse: "I thank the fourth son for his kind love, but I am just a swordsman. I'm afraid I can't take such an important task. Please think twice."

"Brother Mei, don't refuse." Di Zhenjie waved his hand and smiled, "As the saying goes: When you are in trouble, you will show your true feelings at the critical moment of life and death. If it were me, I would ask myself that I would not be as good as you. If you don't be this deputy city lord, who else can be competent?"

Wei Dongheng, Mr. Wang and others also advised each other, but Ou Chuyang was not willing to refuse forcibly, so he had to temporarily accept the seal of the deputy city lord.

In addition to the position of deputy city lord, Di Zhenjie also rewarded 10,000 amethyst. Ten thousand amethyst is equal to 100,000 blue crystals, equivalent to 100,000 snowflake silver, which is a very considerable wealth. For Ou Chuyang, who is in a desperate need of amethyst to practice, it is even more of a timely help.

Only by casting a sword can you earn 180 amethysts. These ten thousand amethysts need to cast hundreds of superb craftsmen to earn back... Ou Chuyang accepted it without saying a word. For him, ten thousand amethysts are really more than the position of deputy city lord.

Afterwards, Di Zhenjie continued to reward merits: each servant who participated in this battle received a reward of ten taels of silver; each person who was injured in the battle to defend the city would be rewarded twenty taels of each person; the injured and disabled person would receive a monthly disability subsidy from the City Lord's Mansion; and those who died heroically would be given a pension of fifty taels and would be buried in the north of the city together with Bao Hanping and Master Chen, two martyrdom sword masters.

"It's a pity that the holy sword "Ice Soul Han Light" was missing in the end. I don't know if the demon emperor Han Chi was killed under the sword." Mr. Wang said with some concern: "If the demon emperor Han Chi does not die, then Yanzhou will be very peaceful in the future."

Di Zhenjie asked, "Mr. Wang is very knowledgeable, but is it just the origin of the demon emperor Han Chi?"

"More than a hundred years ago, I also heard some legends." Mr. Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and looked into the distance. His deep eyes seemed to travel through time and space, back to a thousand years ago.

"A thousand years ago, Yanzhou's bitter and cold land was rarely visited, and it was the world of the beast clan. At that time, the master of the beast clan was the amazing demon emperor Han Chi. It is said that he had become a saint at that time, and it was difficult for him to have a rival in the world."

Everyone listened quietly. For those who practice swordsman, the legends of top-level powerful people are more attractive than beautiful women singing songs.

"As the demon emperor Han Chi's strength became stronger and stronger, his ambition gradually expanded, and he was determined to march into Zhongzhou and compete with the human race for the right to dominate the world. Just when the **** war was about to break out, Han Chi disappeared overnight for no reason, and no one knew where he was going."

"The mystery of the disappearance of the Demon Emperor has never been answered. Although there have been various speculations, no one would have thought: it was Gu Caiyi, the beloved woman of the Demon Emperor Han Chi, who cut off the love thread and destroyed his relatives for justice, gave up his cultivation, and used the holy sword "Ice Soul and Cold Light" to freeze him under the Hanyu Palace for thousands of years."

"After the disappearance of the demon emperor Han Chi, the beast tribe was in a slump, and the south of Yanshan Mountain was gradually occupied by humans and took root. Although beast tides broke out every year, it could not change the situation where humans constantly enclose and occupy the city. Hundreds of years ago, the Di family entered the Yanzhong land and built Jinghai City and four acropolises, and the threat of beast tide became smaller and smaller."

After listening to Mr. Wang’s story, everyone learned about this eternal legend. Someone asked: “But now the demon emperor Han Chi has returned, but Gu Caiyi has already died. If the demon emperor Han Chi leads the beast clan to rise again, how can our Di family resist it?”

"Yes, the extraordinary demon emperor can never be easily resisted. All the powerful forces in our Di family may not be able to defeat him, so what should we do?" Everyone began to worry.

"Don't worry too much." Ou Chuyang said: "When the demon emperor Han Chi revived, I heard him say in person: Gu Caiyi Bing sealed him for thousands of years, causing his cultivation to fall to a great realm, and even the human body could not be maintained. Therefore, even if the holy sword "Ice Soul Cold Light" did not catch up with him and killed him, he would no longer be a top-level powerful person who became a saint. If the beast tribe attacked a large amount, we would invite all heroes and work together to resist it."

"Not bad!" Di Zhenjie stood up and said loudly: "I will immediately order people to spread this matter. It is not only Yanzhou, but also across the nine states in the world. Let everyone in the world know that if Yanzhou falls, the beast tribe will definitely take advantage of the victory and go south, and no one in the world can survive. At the same time, I will ask my father to step up to contact the sword cultivation sects of Ningzhou, Zhongzhou, Shuozhou and other provinces adjacent to Yanzhou, and ask them to be ready to help Yanzhou at any time. Don't panic."

After hearing what Ou Chuyang and Di Zhenjie said, everyone's expressions gradually slowed down and they slowly calmed down.

"And," Mr. Wang added: "Although this beast tide caused us a considerable loss, the beast flock suffered greater casualties. I estimate that within three years, there will be no large-scale beast tide. We can seize the time to recuperate, train Ding Zhuang, recruit heroes from all over the world, and prepare to deal with future changes."

"What Mr. Wang said is very true." Everyone felt relieved and continued to talk and laugh.

However, Ou Chuyang felt a feeling of increasing urgency. He had just been traveling to this world for two years. The Sword God Secret Cang was born one after another. Rare swords such as "Blood Drink" and "Ice Soul Cold Light" were also released one after another, and top-level heavenly powers emerged one by one... The world of great competition has indeed begun. But he is still a mere swordsman, how can this be done?
