Du Qingchen returned to Holy Fire City without disturbing anyone.
He didn't know what was going on in Holy Fire City now.
However, when he returned to the city, he felt something was wrong.
The entire Holy Fire City was actually talking about the battle a few days ago, and they talked about it with all their noses and eyes. Of course, the situation everyone talked about was still very different from the reality.
For some reason, people in the city didn't seem to know about Zhang Sanxianzun. They only knew that a friend of Du Qingchen happened to be passing by and helped Du Qingchen.
In short, there are various general versions, and the opinions are varied, but each version has one thing in common.
That is, Du Qingchen is definitely a monster among monsters and a genius among geniuses. He can kill anyone below the Immortal Lord. He is so awesome that he is definitely someone who cannot be offended.
Strangely, the city was in order, not as chaotic as Du Qingchen was worried about.
The death of the city lord Peng Zihua did not cause any panic.
It seems that a new city lord has appeared.
Du Qingchen was confused after hearing this, but finally decided to go back to Manjiang Tower first.
As soon as he appeared, Cai Yang quickly took them to the office.
"I've met Mr. Du."
Cai Yang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He had naturally heard the rumors in the city, and now that he saw Du Qingchen back, he was certainly happy.
You know, when Du Qingchen took Wei Yuan to Luofengpo for an appointment, he was very worried.
He must be loyal to Du Qingchen.
"What is going on in the city?"
Du Qingchen asked immediately.
Cai Yang explained: "I heard that Peng Zihua died in the hands of Mr. Du?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"No, no, this news came from the City Lord's Mansion. Those versions about the war also came from the City Lord's Mansion. After Peng Zihua died, the Deputy City Lord began to take over all affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, and issued a notice to calm the people.
Let everyone not panic. At the same time, the deputy city lord also listed a lot of crimes against Peng Zihua, describing the latter as a person who everyone shouted to beat. There were dozens of Peng Zihua’s cronies, led by Xiao Yun.
They launched civil strife, but they were brutally suppressed, and two Immortal Emperors died. Now the deputy city lord is basically in charge of the city lord's mansion. Although the succession has not been announced, everyone knows that he is the future.
City Lord..."
Du Qingchen frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't care much about the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, because he couldn't destroy the City Lord's Mansion. Without the constraints of the City Lord's Mansion, the entire Holy Fire State would surely fall into chaos, and it is estimated that many innocent ordinary people would be involved in this.
As for losing his life, he still has a bottom line in doing things, and he will not do such a thing.
But now he is somewhat interested in the deputy city lord.
"What's the name of the deputy city lord?"
"The surname is Xu, and the name is Xu Liang."
Du Qingchen nodded: "This guy is quite capable."
Cai Yang also agreed and said: "Yes, in fact, Xu Liangpingjin's reputation is quite good, he is very popular among the people, and his cultivation level is also very high. He is in the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor. In fact, Peng Zihua doesn't take care of things at ordinary times.
, He is indispensable for the security and order that Holy Fire City has today. Comparatively speaking, the people in Holy Fire City can still live and work in peace and contentment."
"If I have the chance, I should meet him. This man is a talent."
As soon as Du Qingchen finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Xu Liang from the City Lord's Mansion pays homage to Mr. Du!"
Um?
Cai Yang was shocked.
He didn't hear anyone coming outside.
Wei Yuan also frowned slightly and said: "The cultivation is extremely deep. He should not be weaker than me. No, he may be a step higher than me."
"Open the door and let him in."
Du Qingchen said indifferently.
Cai Yang opened the door, and there was a courtyard outside. In the courtyard, two powerful Immortal Emperors were waiting respectfully. The leader was Deputy City Lord Xu Liang. In the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor, it seemed that they would be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor very soon.
He was in the late stage of the Immortal Emperor, and standing next to him was a strong man in the early stage of the Immortal Emperor. He was a special envoy from the City Lord's Palace, named Qian Hongliang.
Around the two of them, at some point, a group of powerful Immortal Lords suddenly appeared. They were all late-stage Immortal Lords or peak powerhouses, a total of more than a dozen people.
These are Cai Yang's men and loyal followers of Du Qingchen.
They are a little nervous now because they are facing two powerful Immortal Emperors, one of whom has a very high reputation in the city and is the future city lord.
But they didn't have any fear.
Mr. Du is here, they must not be timid.
"You all stand down."
Cai Yang waved his hand, and the dozen or so people disappeared in an instant. "You want to see Mr. Du?"
Although Cai Yang's cultivation level is far inferior to Xu Liang's two, his aura is neither humble nor arrogant.
What is the use of your cows?
You have to be curled up by me, whether you are a dragon or a tiger. In front of Mr. Du, you are nothing. If you have the ability, don't come...
Xu Liang glanced at Cai Yang with a strange look, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I hope Manager Cai can report it on his behalf."
"Master Du asked you to come in and talk."
"Thanks."
Xu Liang led Qian Hongliang into the house, and they actually knelt down in front of Du Qingchen.
"See Mr. Du."
Their attitude was extremely humble and respectful.
Du Qingchen did not let them get up. He sat upright and said calmly: "Are you looking in the wrong place? Don't you know? Your Lord, the city lord, betrayed me and did not keep his promise because of his betrayal.
, died in my hands in the end, and you actually knelt down for me, is this unjustifiable?"
Although Xu Liang was in the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor and was at a higher level than Du Qingchen, he did not even dare to raise his head and said respectfully: "Young Master Du, we have broken with Peng Zihua. His death is also a blessing to the people, so
, Mr. Du has done a good deed that pleases people very much."
sweat?
Is this okay?
Du Qingchen smiled and said: "Don't you want to avenge him? Or do you want to stabilize me first and then wait for an opportunity to retaliate?"
Xu Liang trembled with fright and quickly said: "Master Du is joking. First of all, we will not avenge him. I have already issued an announcement announcing Peng Zihua's ten deadly sins. If he dies, that is the retribution he deserves."
, Everything in this world is about cause and effect. His current results are all due to the evil karma he himself has created. It is not the fault of Mr. Du, nor anyone else. Secondly, the two of us are willing to follow Mr. Du, and we will never go back and forth in the future.
betray."
Ah? You want to take refuge in me?
Du Qingchen's eyes were strange: "You want to follow me? Just because I am better than you?"
"No, I have investigated Mr. Du. I think Mr. Du values love and righteousness. It is our honor to accept you as our master. And we can swear a poisonous oath. If you don't come here sincerely, let me
You will never be able to break through the realm, your spirit and soul will be destroyed, you will never be able to be reincarnated, and you will suffer divine punishment!"
This poisonous oath can be sworn one after another.
