"Pass the order, everything in Yuncheng will be temporarily managed by Elder Xuan, with full cooperation between you and Deputy City Lord Xu Zonghe!"
Liu Hao said, "If someone is disobedient, I will punish them severely!"
Although Liu Hao is now the acting city lord, he is still the city lord after all.
In his hand was the City Lord's Order given to him by Jian Wushang.
It is possible to exercise the power of the city lord.
In other words, he just has not been officially recorded by Kunlun Sword Domain.
Naturally, he is qualified to appoint an acting controller.
As long as it doesn't take too long, it's completely within the rules.
Kunlun Sword Domain itself has such regulations.
If the city lord goes out for something, ten years is considered a short period of time and there is no need to report.
If it exceeds ten years, a report needs to be made to the superior.
And if it is more than a hundred years old, then approval from above is required.
Therefore, Liu Hao's resignation was in line with the rules.
He was going to make this acceptance of his fate public.
Otherwise, if someone really causes trouble for him, and Xu Zonghe does not agree with his order, there will be a hundred mouths that cannot explain clearly.
After all, he is not Jian Wushang.
It is impossible to make the other party be honest and obedient.
Therefore, if you get things done first, if something does happen, you can handle it yourself and you won't have so much trouble.
"yes!"
Xu Qi responded to the order and quickly retreated.
After Xu Qi retreated, Lingxuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Ah Hao, if you let me be the acting city lord, aren't you afraid that Xu Zonghe will cause trouble?"
"He tried to get one?"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder Xuan. You just have to do your job well. You don't need to worry about other things."
"If they really make things big, you just need to notify me."
"You don't have to fight them hard."
"As long as you show your attitude well, do what you should do well, and let everyone arrive, that will be enough."
"Remember, you must not leave any clues in their hands."
Hearing this, Lingxuan nodded to express his understanding.
After the matter was settled, the three of them separated.
Lingxuan and Zhang Qifeng went down to do business, while Liu Hao left the main city of Yuncheng directly.
Heading towards the ‘Flame Dragon Abyss’, one of the four lost lands and the three forbidden lands.
…
And just when Liu Hao left Yuncheng.
On the city wall of the main city of Yun City.
Deputy City Lord Xu Zonghe was looking at the direction Liu Hao left with a gloomy expression.
Beside him were his two deputies, He Hua and Tang Min, who were also the two deacons of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother, this City Lord Hao is really too arrogant. He doesn't take you seriously at all!"
"Yes, brother, if we give in this time, then maybe he will do something else next time!"
"This City Lord Hao is not Jian Wushang. He has no status and no strength. Why should we speak with such an attitude?"
"If we don't teach him a lesson, he might really treat us like little shrimps."
He Hua and Tang Min said angrily.
Listening to the words of these two people, Xu Zonghe's face was also very gloomy.
However, he glared at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "What do you know?"
"Before Jian Wushang left, he told me not to mess with him."
"They say this guy has a bad temper, is easily impulsive, and can easily make things worse."
"Furthermore, Jian Wushang also completely delegated his power to City Lord Hao."
"If we really make the matter serious and fail to take care of it, then even my father won't be able to protect me if something happens."
"So, no matter what happens, we must be honest and not break the rules."
Hearing these words, He Huo and Tang Min's expressions became more and more sad.
Their relationship with Xu Jonghyuk is very good.
It is precisely because it is so good that they come here to serve as deacons.
Only then would he call Xu Zonghyuk his eldest brother.
Therefore, with this situation now, the two of them feel even more unbalanced.
"Why does this bullshit City Lord Hao qualify to be the acting City Lord?"
"Didn't Jian Wushang become the city lord by relying on the third elder to step aside? He didn't hand over the agency of the city lord to you, eldest brother, but handed it over to an outsider who didn't know where he came from. What did he mean? Yes.
Can't afford you?"
"Brother, if we really abide by the rules and listen to what he says, then neither this bullshit City Lord Hao nor Jian Wushang will take us seriously in the future."
"Yes, brother, we must not be soft this time!"
The two spoke softly again.
"I only said to abide by the rules, but I didn't say to be subdued!"
Xu Zonghe said coldly, "Since this guy named 'Hao' dares to be the first grader, then I dare to be the fifteenth grader. If he dares to treat me with such an attitude, I will let him know what I, Xu Zonghe, am like."
people!"
When the two heard this, their eyes lit up and they asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Oh, don't worry!"
Xu Zonghe sneered and said, "It's still early, take your time, you will always let him know what regret is!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and walked off the city wall.
He Hua and Tang Min followed immediately.
…
Among the four lost places in Cloud City, Sword Flame Valley is completely open to the outside world.
You can come and go freely.
Among the other three lost lands, only the forbidden land completely sealed by the 'Fire Dragon Abyss'.
Entry is not allowed at all.
Even if it is the place where Kunlun Sword Domain collects essence medicine, this place is generally not chosen.
Unless there is nothing to gain from other places, or the needed things can only be found by entering the 'Fire Dragon Abyss', people will be sent in.
Generally speaking, the survival rate of people who enter it is barely 10%.
This is only a superficial entry, and does not go deep into it.
If you go deeper into it, the survival rate will be even lower.
Out of a hundred people, if one can survive, it is a very good result.
In addition to the 'Fire Dragon Abyss', the other two lost places, the ancient ruins and the lost forest, are both semi-open forbidden areas.
What is a semi-open forbidden area?
This means that the peripheral areas of these two places are open.
Only the core area is forbidden.
This is mainly because these two places are large and relatively wide, so it will be difficult to protect them.
Therefore, the scope of the forbidden area was deliberately narrowed.
It is precisely because of this that so many people continue to flock here.
And the ‘Fire Dragon Abyss’ that Liu Hao was going to passed through the ‘Lost Forest’.
It can be said that the 'Lost Forest' is the only place to enter the 'Fire Dragon Abyss'.
If you pass through the core, there is no need to detour.
However, Liu Hao was still willing to take a little more detour.
Because the core place of the 'Lost Forest' is no less dangerous than the 'Fire Dragon Abyss'. To be precise, it may be a little higher.
Because the space in the 'Lost Forest' is the most stable.
Liu Hao had no idea about the 'Lost Forest', so naturally he was unwilling to take the risk.
Therefore, he only wanted to pass through the outer area of the Lost Forest.
Walking all the way, it will take about half a day.
He came to the outer area of the 'Lost Forest'.
Keep going, and in about a day, you can reach the place where the ‘Fire Dragon Abyss’ is located.
However, just when he was about to move forward, suddenly, two figures ran towards him within the range of his spiritual sense.
His spiritual awareness is very broad.
Even if it is five miles away, he can sense it.
Of course, he knew that the other party was definitely running towards him and was definitely not targeting him.
Along the way, he also met such people on the road, but he didn't care about the people in the past.
But these two people caught his attention.
This is mainly because of the dialogue between these two people.
"Third brother, if their people catch up later, you don't need to worry about me. Just go back to Yuncheng and find someone to help. I will take care of you!" The man's voice was slightly thick.
"No, eldest brother Yundong said that he asked his second brother to go back with me to find someone. How can I go back alone?" The man's voice was a little thin.
"You're stupid. Brother Yundong asked us to run away because he didn't want us to die in an unknown way. Now he's holding the 'Blood Yang Ginseng' alone and holding back most of the people. He just wants us to find help.
Go rescue him soon!"
The thick voice said, "Even if we really can't save him by then, we won't let the 'Blood Yang Ginseng' fall into the hands of those people. If I don't give you a backup, then both of us will die.
At that time, who will go back to find someone?"
Bo Bo's voice became anxious, "But..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The thick voice said forcefully, "Do as I say, otherwise, I won't have you as my second brother, and you won't have to follow me anymore in the future."
Suddenly, the thin voice fell silent and made no further rebuttal.
After Liu Hao heard this conversation, he frowned.
After a slight hesitation, he moved and rushed towards the two people.
A moment later, he appeared in front of the two people.
The two people were running when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were startled.
The two of them stared at Liu Hao with solemn faces.
"Lao San, let's go!"
Immediately, the thick voice spoke again, "I'll drag him!"
This is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face. He looks a bit energetic.
The third child was a thin man. He seemed a little hesitant and didn't want to leave.
"roll!"
The middle-aged man glared at the third child and cursed.
"do not be afraid!"
Liu Hao said, "I have no ill intentions towards you. I stopped you just to ask you a question!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man gave Liu Hao a strange look.
Seeing that Liu Hao's strength was not particularly strong, he was only at the Yuan Sheng realm, so he relaxed a little.
However, he still asked cautiously, "What do you want to ask?"
Liu Hao asked, "Is the Yundong you are talking about the same Yundong from Yanyu Tower?"
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Hao and frowned, "I answered you, are you going to let us go?"
Liu Hao nodded, "As long as you answer my questions, I won't stop you."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yundong is not from Yanyu Tower, but he has a certain relationship with Yanyu Tower. He is also an alchemist."
After saying that, he said in a deep voice, "Can you get out of the way now?"
Hearing this, Liu Hao was certain that this Yundong was the one who gave him the 'Diwang Ginseng'.
Immediately, he asked, "Where is he now?"
When the middle-aged man looked at Liu Hao again, the coldness in his eyes became even deeper.
Anyone who has spent some time in Yuncheng will know the origin of Yundong.
This is no secret.
Therefore, he just answered directly without much hesitation.
He didn't know the background of the young man in front of him, nor what he wanted to do.
I just thought that since the other party just wanted to know Yundong's origin, there was no point in telling him.
As long as the other party doesn't stop you, that's enough.
After all, they must hurry up and return to Yuncheng to find someone.
If you are detained here, it may be very difficult to leave alive, let alone go back to find people.
Because there are still people chasing them behind.
Although it is said that these people chasing them, like the people in front of them, are only at the Yuan Sheng realm.
However, when they came out, they were already injured.
If you deal with people of the same level, you will naturally be unable to do so.
"Third brother, you go first!"
This time, the middle-aged man did not answer Liu Hao's question, but gave instructions to the thin third child.
The third child said, "Second brother, if we work together, we can kill him!"
"Yundong helped me, so I plan to save him!"
Liu Hao immediately explained, "You just need to lead the way, I will handle the rest."
"..."
When the two of them heard Liu Hao's words, they were stunned at the same time.
"Are you going to save Brother Yundong?"
The thin third child frowned and sneered, "Do you think we are fools? With your little strength, how can you save Brother Yundong?"
"Do you know the trouble Brother Yundong is facing now?"
"Among the people who are chasing him, there are three people at the peak level of Yuan Sheng and one person at the level of Yuan Zun."
"In addition, there are five people who are in the middle stage of Yuan Sheng."
"What is your strength now? At the early stage of Yuan Sheng, right?"
"Don't say it's just the early stage. Even if you're at the peak stage, you can't possibly save Brother Yundong!"
"You are obviously stalling for time, just waiting for the reinforcements to come from behind, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Hao frowned slightly.
He said, "For every quarter of an hour you delay, Yundong will be in greater danger."
"Instead of guessing here about whether I have ulterior motives, it's better to lead the way directly."
"When we get there, you will know whether I can save people!"
Liu Hao didn't intend to explain.
I also know that explanations are useless.
I just hope that these two people can be more understanding.
If he continues to be ignorant, Liu Hao is going to be tough.
"Second brother, this guy is just stalling for time, let's join forces and kill him!"
The thin third child ignored Liu Hao and said directly to the middle-aged man beside him, "Hurry up and go back to Yuncheng to find someone!"
