Mu Yu and Ning Ming are in charge, Yu Qi is responsible for the logistics work, and Luo Wei, as the assistant to the previous city lords, knows how to deal with large and small matters.
The turbulent Huoling City gradually stabilized.
Everything is business as usual.
After they finished all this, they breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to the Guheng Mountains to look for Ning Feiyang.
You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!
Outside the city gate.
"Sister Shu Xin, it's so strange. Huoling City is not chaotic at all, but very peaceful. What's going on?" Xiaowan frowned.
"I don't know either." Shu Xin was also a little surprised.
They are all from the Shu family and are very familiar with the family's struggles.
Quite cruel.
Especially in the second-rate and third-rate cities below, this kind of competition is even more fruitless.
If the experienced city lord dies, a new city lord will generally not be sent, and the deputy city lord will take care of it, which can be regarded as a reward for them.
At this time, it should be extremely confusing.
"Maybe... it has been captured by the deputy city lord."
Apart from this, Shu Xin could not think of other possibilities.
"It's really disgusting. I want to see who dares to touch something that belongs to my brother-in-law." Xiaowan was filled with indignation.
The two of them continued to move forward and arrived at the gate of the city. Only then did they notice that a cultivator was kneeling at the gate, slapping himself repeatedly.
"I was wrong, City Lord Ning, it was me who was wrong."
"I won't dare to do it anymore, please forgive me."
When the man slapped himself, he kept talking. Although it was not clear, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the meaning.
"What are you doing?" Xiaowan asked.
The man ignored it.
Xiaowan asked again, but still received no response.
Buzz!
Xiaowan was very angry and pulled out his sword, but there was still no response.
"My lord, this is Huoling City, you can't do anything at will." The guard saw this and walked over quickly.
"What on earth is going on?" Xiaowan asked.
The guard explained the situation again.
It turns out that he was punished by Ning Feiyang!
"Then now... City Lord Ning's life or death is unknown, and he is still kneeling here. Shouldn't he take the opportunity to escape?" Xiaowan asked in confusion.
Shu Xin asked additionally: "And your deputy city lord, Bao Yingyue, won't you take the opportunity to seize control?"
"Haha, to be honest, this is what happened..." the guard recounted the story with great interest.
Shu Xin and Xiao Wan looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
Unexpectedly, Ning Feiyang formed his own power in such a short time.
Even if he is not here, he still has absolute control!
"I knew it, I knew it, my brother-in-law is very powerful." Xiao Wan was very excited.
For some reason, when Shu Xin heard what the guard said, she felt a little happy in her heart.
Brother-in-law?
The guard was not a fool. When he heard Xiaowan's name, combined with their appearance and conversation, as well as their unpredictable cultivation, he immediately guessed something.
"May I ask, is this the goddess Shu Xin?" the guard asked.
"I'm Shu Xin." Shu Xin answered truthfully.
ah?
The guard quickly reported.
The news spread quickly.
Bao Yingyue still had some remaining party members in Huoling City, and originally wanted to unite and make another fuss.
When I heard that Goddess Shu Xin was here, I gave up all those unrealistic thoughts.
Who can withstand the masters in the late stage of transformation?
Some of them even came to Luo Wei and surrendered.
"Yu Qi, what are you going to do next?" Xiaowan stepped forward and asked.
"We plan to go to the Guheng Mountains and find Lord Ning no matter what." Yu Qi said solemnly.
Shu Xin frowned slightly and said, "The Guheng Mountain Range is so big, where are you going to find it?"
"If you can't find it, you have to look for it. We won't give up." Yu Qi's attitude was firm.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Shu Xin said.
A few people are about to go out.
Who would have expected that as soon as they walked out of the city gate, they saw two people.
Shu Yifu, Huang Lengqiang.
"Goddess Shu Xin is here too?" Shu Yifu said calmly.
His strength is not as good as Shu Xin's, but he is the young deacon of the family's logistics department. He has some power in his hands, and because of his father, he is not afraid.
"What does it have to do with you?" Shu Xin's attitude was indifferent.
Shu Yifu made a tut-tsk sound in his mouth and said with a smile: "I also care about City Lord Ning. Come and see, you are his woman. Isn't it too chilling to say such things?"
"The weasel is not kind to the chicken when he wishes him a happy New Year." Xiao Wan said first.
"I just don't have good intentions, what's wrong?" Shu Yifu's anger was also ignited, "Even if he doesn't die and loses the bet with me, he has to get out."
Xiaowan's momentum was not weak at all, and he said: "My brother-in-law will never lose, he will never lose, and he will never die."
The two men were at odds with each other.
The breath on his body spread involuntarily.
Everyone felt it and trembled.
"Okay, stop arguing, it's meaningless." Huang Lengqiang said at this moment, "Everyone is dead anyway."
"Shut up, my brother-in-law is not dead." Xiaowan yelled subconsciously.
Huang Lengqiang's face was filled with uncertainty, and his breath burst out, covering the small bowl in an instant.
"You are just a servant. I am a dignified fourth-level formation mage. Is this how you talk to me?" Huang Lengqiang threatened, "Believe it or not, I will kill you right now."
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they secretly broke into a cold sweat for Xiaowan.
How can the status of a fourth-level formation mage be compared to that of a mere servant?
Xiao Wan offended the other party and it was a disaster.
However, to everyone's expectation, another powerful aura surged over and suppressed Huang Leng.
This pressure comes from Shu Xin.
Huang Lengqiang felt the pressure, his body was shivering, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
It is true that he is a master at the Nascent Soul stage, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is quite powerful.
But in front of masters in the transformation stage, they are just like ants.
Can be crushed to death at any time!
Huang Lengqiang did not expect that Shu Xin would take action for a servant, even at the cost of offending a fourth-level formation mage.
"I let go, I let go." Huang Lengqiang felt the real murderous intention and then restrained himself.
"Shu Xin, let go quickly. This is a fourth-level formation mage that the family has tried their best to make friends with. If you offend him, you will also be punished." Shu Yifu said from the side.
Shu Xin never thought of killing him, she just threatened him. Once her goal was achieved, she let him go.
Huang Lengqiang took a long breath, then coughed twice, and said angrily: "The man is dead, just take it out on me. Even if you kill me, your man is still dead."
Everyone was holding their breath.
Depressed to the extreme.
Shu Yifu and Huang Lengqiang had very proud smiles on their faces.
"die?"
"This word has never been in my dictionary!"
"If you die, you will die too."
"My opponents have changed one after another, I don't know how many have changed, but I am still living well."
At this moment, a domineering and familiar voice came from afar.
