In the long dream, on the magma sea, Zhang Baoer, who had been drifting for a long time, finally touched something in a daze...
Trying to open his eyes, he saw Daxuan with a smile on his face, but just as he was about to call out, everything in front of him suddenly shattered, revealing a pool of white mist...
"How long have I been asleep?"
"...More than ten days!"
"Well, tell me what happened after I fell into coma."
He didn't panic, he calmed down immediately and continued to lie in the pool, letting Ruhu and the others pour cold water while listening to Hong Qi's narration.
Half an hour later, Hong Qi finished telling everything, and Zhang Baoer suppressed the joy in his heart and began to think deeply.
There are two reasons for joy: first, although his whole body is scorching and unbearable, his strength has increased dramatically; second, Xiao Ha is not dead, and is absorbing the uncomfortable black energy in the basement to nurse his injuries.
As for the reasons for meditation, there are many, and they cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
However, he only thought for a while before interrupting his thoughts and asked Hong Qi with strange eyes:
"Ah Qi, who are those seven people?"
"They are all deaf... They dug you out of the rubble and handed you over to Brother Tianxiao!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer was shocked and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"It's actually them...how could it be them?"
There was no need for Hong Qi to call the seven people who were recovering from injuries in the house. Zhang Baoer already knew who they were. Those seven people were the seven who survived among the monkey's men. He said at that time that they could survive, but he Unexpectedly, the seven people did not take the opportunity to kill him, but handed him over to Tian Xiao after he collapsed and turned into a little beast.
After hearing that Qingshan had requested high-quality healing medicine from several major forces for the seven people, Zhang Baoer felt a little more at ease.
Hearing that Duoduo had taken a treasure pill given by Tian Xiao and had completely recovered in the past two days, he felt more at ease. He was about to ask her what she was doing with Tang Tiantian when he heard that Tang Tiantian A shouting voice came from afar:
"Brother! Are you awake?! Humph! Little Ah Qi, why didn't you immediately..."
Before she finished complaining, Zhang Baoer reached out and held down her stretched out head:
"Get out! Get out! How old are you, but you are still so unruly? Didn't you see that my eldest brother has no clothes on?"
"cut!"
Tang Tiantian snorted and heartlessly pulled Duoduo, who was squeezing into the crowd, out.
…
After three days, Zhang Baoer finally walked out of the pool. Although his body was still very hot, he gritted his teeth and was able to persevere.
In order to dissipate heat easily, he put on a shirt and shorts he had sewn himself, and went to the basement below the city lord's mansion with Tang Tiantian.
Huhuhu...
Xiao Ha fell asleep lying on the air hole and would not wake up no matter how he called.
Looking at the unhealed wound on Xiao Ha's waist, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but feel sad. Although the wound stopped bleeding, it still had not healed. For some reason, Xiao Ha's recovery speed was extremely slow.
Tang Tiantian pouted and told him not to worry. She also told him that the guy lying on the ground couldn't be judged by common sense. When she arrived that night, she happened to see this guy swallowing the Lion King's beast elixir, and then He crawled back to the basement without saying a word, and used the 'earth evil' energy to temper his body, not only to heal his injuries but also to improve his strength.
After listening, Zhang Baoer felt even more guilty because he seemed to have seen the pitiful situation of Xiao Ha who could only crawl because of a broken waist...
Tang Tiantian's mouth did not stop because of Zhang Baoer's silence. She said that the Qiong Ghost King and the Lion King should have come for this 'earth evil' energy, and the original city lord should also have stayed in Chaos City because of it;
She also said that after Xiao Ha recovers from his injury, she will also come here to practice.
As time went by, Zhang Baoer suddenly found that his body felt much cooler. Although this kind of 'evil energy' would make people feel a little depressed, and the body would feel stinging after being washed away by it, impurities would slowly be eliminated from the pores——
This is undoubtedly of great benefit to cultivators.
After thinking about it, he decided to move to this treasured place. Just from the fact that Yan Tie advanced to two levels within ten days, you can see how extraordinary this place is!
Perhaps it was because of Yan Tie's poor physical condition that he had the sequelae of "chills" and "mania"; if it were Tang Tiantian and him, it shouldn't be a serious problem.
Since there were still many things to deal with, he stayed for a while. After asking Ye Yu, who was replacing Yan Tie, not to stay in there for too long, he and Tang Tiantian walked out of the basement together.
As soon as he went out, he saw Lu Dakuan and other leaders of the five remaining forces with a charming smile on his face.
"Greetings to the Lord of the City!"
Zhang Baoer nodded, briefly greeted them, and after asking them their purpose, he followed them to an elegant room filled with delicacies from all over the world.
Tang Tiantian, who was full of lion meat, ate slowly while Zhang Baoer discussed matters with several big bosses.
An hour later, he and Tang Tiantian left the elegant room with the courtesy of the big bosses.
After the leaders of several major forces returned to their private rooms, their original smiles suddenly disappeared, replaced by complex expressions. They looked at each other, then sighed, and no one spoke for a while.
On that day, the first city lord’s order came out:
"Three days later, the Lord of the City will hold a 'meeting meeting' in the central square. Anyone who has lived in the chaotic city for more than one year must be present."
It was not this order that made several big bosses sigh, but the attitude of the city lord - this one was different from the previous one, he was not only very smart but also had his own opinions.
And this means that the state of chaos in the city, dominated by powerful forces, will end from this moment.
Naturally, they said something like, ‘please don’t worry about him, I can take care of everything myself’, but the city lord’s words left them speechless:
"I'm not that one!"
This sentence seems ordinary, but how can you guys not feel the murderous intention hidden in it? Because the hidden meaning of this sentence is: I don’t want to be killed like her. Let me believe you, do you want to
Can I die?
Although there is a saying that 'a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake', Zhang Baoer doesn't think so. In his opinion, these people are just earthworms in the field.
Not to mention that there are no Nascent Soul-level masters among them, even if there are, he is not afraid - although he only has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen now, his body is extremely strong, and even Tian Xiao, who exerts all his strength, cannot withstand ten attacks.
trick.
"Lord City Lord!"
"Hello, sir!"
…
Along the way, everyone who saw him would salute him with fear, and the timid ones would even kneel down and kowtow. This made Zhang Baoer a little unbearable, so he smiled gently and said to everyone:
"No more salutes from now on, just nod and smile when you see me. Everyone should be busy with their own business!"
After saying that, he pulled the arrogant Tang Tiantian through the new gate that was more than three feet wide and returned to his house.
After drawing a picture and instructing Feng Qing and Mingyu to recruit people to build a building in the former city lord's palace and build a high platform on one side, he drove away Tang Tiantian, who wanted to take Duoduo out to play, and left alone
One person walked into the resting place of the seven people.
"Greetings, Lord Demon!"
As soon as he entered, the seven people who were lying on the bed got off the bed and kowtowed with panic.
Zhang Baoer gave a wry smile and sat down on the edge of a bed, waving his hand for them to sit down separately.
The seven people did not dare to disobey and sat down carefully. Looking at them like a cat seeing a mouse, Zhang Baoer asked calmly:
"Thank you a few days ago. Are your ears healed?"
The seven people said they didn't dare take it seriously, and then nodded and said it was fine.
So, Zhang Baoer nodded and expressed the questions in his heart:
"Can you tell me why you saved me instead of killing me?"
Hearing this, the seven people looked at each other thoughtfully. One of them, a young man named Lin Ye, about forty years old, pondered for a moment and then replied:
"I would like to report to you, Lord Demon King, because we dare not... dare not kill you, let alone kill you..."
Zhang Baoer was slightly surprised. He could understand "dare not", but how could he use the word "can't"?
Lin Ye continued:
"Your Excellency has shown mercy to us by not killing us, but his methods make us scared. We are not sure, and we were all injured at that time and could not protect ourselves... so we dare not!"
"As for why it can't... it's because we are not alone, we all have wives, children and children. After what happened that night, Jinxia Kingdom will definitely exist in name only... We want to leave a way out for ourselves..."
Zhang Baoer was very satisfied with Lin Ye's answer. After thinking about it, he said solemnly:
"Follow me from now on! If someone treats me with sincerity, I will repay you tenfold or a hundredfold! You will be my brothers, Zhang Baoer, from now on!"
"Thank you demon..."
Seeing that they were about to kneel down with joy on their faces, Zhang Baoer quickly stopped him and said with a smile:
"How can one of your own family kneel down to your own family?! You guys should take good care of your injuries. When your injuries are healed, I will give you a big gift...Also, from now on, just call me 'Sir' like Ah Qi and the others, 'Demon King'"
Never mention the word '' again."
"yes!"
Lin Ye and others were sincerely happy. Not to mention the 'big gift', the majestic Demon King treated them like this, which was worthy of pride and joy.
At the same time, the six people also felt lucky that they had followed Lin Ye's advice. After the giant beast chased Minghao's Nascent Soul and left, they went to the basement of the city lord's mansion to confirm that Zhang Baoer was the 'demon king' and saw that the 'demon king' was injured.
Finally, they chose to lend a helping hand, partly to repay their kindness and partly to find a future for themselves.
Zhang Baoer's happiness also comes from the bottom of his heart, because these people are not only masters of the late Jindan period, but they are also not ungrateful villains. How could he not be happy for such people to become one of his own?
That night, under Zhang Baoer's guidance or hands-on manipulation, the lion meat was placed on more than a dozen tables one by one by Feng Qing and others. Dozens of people sat together, enjoying the excitement and delicious food.
At first, Lin Ye, Feng Qing Mingyu and others were a little flattered and did not dare to sit together, but Zhang Baoer said:
"You are not my servants, you are my family! And family is the people who sit at the same table to eat!"
