Chapter 1969 Taking over as City Lord

"Don't look, Sun Tu is dead, but you still have a chance to live."

Looking at Fang Chan who was looking around after waking up, Luo Hong immediately said in a deep voice.

"You won't kill me?"

Although Fang Chan could not speak at the moment, it did not prevent him from using his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice.

"You are of some use to Luo. As long as you are willing to serve Luo for a hundred years, Luo will spare your life this time.

Of course, if you want to be loyal to Sun Tu, Luo can send you on your way immediately. "

Luo Hong said in a casual tone that although Fang Chan was useful to him, it was not necessary.

"If you want the true spirit blood in my body, then go ahead and do it!

I finally got rid of Sun Tu's control, but I don't want to fall into the wolf's den again! "

Fang Chan said very decisively.

It turned out that although he usually behaved stupidly, he could still see that Sun Tu had an impure purpose in keeping him by his side.

"You misunderstood. If Luo wants the true spirit blood in your body, he can extract it right now, so why waste words with you.

What Luo really values ​​​​is the innate magical power that comes from your nose.

If you want to believe it, just take this poison pill and follow my orders like Brother Zhu from now on. "

At the moment, Luo Hong still did not choose to reveal his special ability to use magical powers in the Jiling Sky Realm, but instead chose to use poison to control Fang Chan.

In addition, his words are not false.

When Luo Hong was hit by the white sound wave, although the blood in his body was stimulated to tumble, making his body numb for a moment, at the same time, the Taichu Immortal Yuan in his body was also stimulated to run many times faster.

Luo Hong's purpose in taking over Baiyan City was to use Xuan-level mysterious weapons to exchange for a large number of Xuan-level beast cores from the other three affiliated cities.

There is no doubt that this requires him to refine a large number of Xuan-level mysterious weapons, and Fang Chan's presence will provide him with a lot of help and save nearly half of his weapon-refining time.

"Okay, as long as you don't come here for my true spirit bloodline, it doesn't matter if my defeated general obeys your orders!"

After hearing this, Fang Chan readily agreed without much thought.

This was not only because he thought Luo Hong was right, but also because Luo Hong had just defeated him head-on.

Luo Hong did not hesitate when he heard this, and immediately threw the poison pill and a healing elixir into Fang Chan's mouth at the same time.

Afterwards, the three of them spent three days recuperating on this barren mountain before setting off back to Baiyan City.

After returning to Baiyan City smoothly, Zhu Yan immediately held a meeting under Luo Hong's instructions.

There were not many people attending the meeting, only Taiyi Xuanshi from the city.

Apart from Luo Hong and the others, there were only Xu Yinglong and two other Xuanshi who were in the early stage of Taiyi.

As soon as the meeting began, Luo Hong stood up and told the story he had made up, directly attributing the fall of Sun Tu and Xu Yinghu to the big Luo Scale Beast in Kuanglong Ridge.

"City Lord Sun is dead?! Fang Chan, is this really the case?"

"Why would the city lord provoke the big Luo Scale Beast when he has nothing to do? What will he do next!"

"The city lord left a bone letter for Xu, telling him to go to Kuanglong Ridge to hunt for earth-level beast cores and to study earth-level mysterious weapons for Fellow Daoist Luo."

Sun Tu's death shocked the three uninformed Taiyi Xuanshi. Some of them questioned the authenticity of the matter, some were worried about the future development of Baiyan City, and some analyzed the causes and consequences.

"Do you think my injuries are fake?"

Luo Hong deliberately did not let Fang Chan recover from his injuries, which was used as evidence at the moment.

"Hey, we had a good plan originally. We just went to explore the road this time, and we didn't want to come into contact with the big Luo Scale Beast.

But unexpectedly, we were so unlucky that we bumped into that beast just as we approached Kuanglong Ridge.

In the final analysis, this matter is all my fault. If Luo hadn't always wanted to study earth-level mysterious weapons, City Lord Sun would not have put himself in danger! "

Luo Hong pretended to feel guilty and patted her thigh.

"Master Luo, please don't say that. You are also doing this for the development of our Baiyan City, not out of selfish motives."

"Yes, yes, City Master Sun will be greatly relieved if he can learn from the spring that Master Luo is back safely!"

"Of course Master Luo is not guilty, but fellow Daoist Zhu, didn't you leave Baiyan City? Why did you go to save Master Luo again?"

At this time, Luo Hong's accumulated reputation in Baiyan City had an effect.

The current Baiyan City can be without Sun Tu, but it absolutely cannot be without Luo Hong.

Otherwise, when all the mysterious weapons are damaged, Baiyan City will have to return to its previous state.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

These three Taiyi Xuanshi have become accustomed to the current income from beast cores, and they don't want to live in the tight days of the past.

However, Zhu Yan's departure and return still made them a little confused.

"This is a space talisman brought in by Luo from the outside world. It can also be used in this scale-building sky realm, but the effect is much worse.

Luo gave Brother Zhu one just in case, and because of this, he was able to come to the rescue.

Brother Zhu's return to Baiyan City this time was also the result of Luo's pleading.

Luo plans to nominate Brother Zhu as the new city lord. What do you think? "

Luo Hong took advantage of the situation and revealed the main purpose of this meeting.

"I don't care, I just repaid fellow Taoist Zhu for saving his life!"

Fang Chan waved his hand and expressed his position seemingly casually.

Xu Yinglong and the other three looked at each other in confusion. After all, the city lord was in charge of the transaction with Xuancheng and was a very fat man. They didn't want to hand it over so easily.

"Although Fellow Daoist Zhu is strong enough to take the position of city lord, he has only been in Jilin Void Realm for a short time and has never been to Xuancheng. I am afraid it is not appropriate."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is right. I think it is better to leave the position of city lord vacant for the time being. We will let him make the decision after we meet Lord Erqi at the next Five Cities Martial Arts Competition."

"That's right. Anyway, it won't be many years before the next Five Cities Martial Arts Competition."

"Brother Luo, if that's the case, let's forget about it."

After hearing this, Zhu Yan did not force it, but turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Brother Zhu, wait a little longer."

Luo Hong immediately stopped Zhu Yan, and then looked at Xu Yinglong and the other two anxiously and said:

"Three Daoists, you don't know that our Baiyan City can't wait that long.

Luo has successfully improved the skills of refining Xuan-level Xuan weapons, which is now enough to save 20% of the original beast cores.

Originally, City Lord Sun and Luo planned to start trade with the other three cities.

Now, although City Lord Sun has died tragically, the development of our Baiyan City cannot stop!"

The people present are all smart people. Of course, they know that once the trade is opened, they will be able to earn much more beast cores than before.

And selling Xuan weapons to the other three cities will only harm the interests of the city lords.

Although the four cities belong to Xuancheng, they cannot be completely unprepared. When a large number of beast cores gather in Baiyan City, it is inevitable that people from the outside city will have some bad intentions.

At this time, a person who can calm the situation is needed, otherwise Baiyan City will suffer a disaster!

"Is this true?"

"Master Luo, how do you plan to set the price?"

"How much can we get?"

At this time, even Xu Yinglong, who was suffering from the pain of losing his brother, couldn't help asking about the specific situation.

It's not that they are greedy for money, but the improvement of their Xuan Dao cultivation basically depends on beast cores!

"How can this be faked? As for the original price of the silver-grained javelin, thirty Xuan-level beast cores are required, but now only twenty-four are needed. If we sell it, we will sell it for thirty-five!

If you want to share the profits, you must each form a caravan and be responsible for the safety of its travel.

In this way, you can get 50% of the profits, and the other 50% will be half for the city lord and half for Luo."

Luo Hong knew that these people were already tempted, so he directly calculated the accounts for them.

"So, we can earn five Xuan-level beast cores for one silver-lined javelin. This... This is too much!"

The silver-lined javelin is just one example. Xu Yinglong and the other two have witnessed the changes in Baiyan City with their own eyes. Of course, they know that once the Xuanists in the city start to change their Xuan weapons, they can't stop.

Moreover, the loss of arrows is very large. This will be a profitable and long-term business!

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, Zhao was wrong before. Please stay. When the five cities meet, I will personally recommend you to become the city lord!"

"That's right, no one in this city is more suitable to be the city lord than you, fellow Daoist Zhu!"

After calculating the benefits they can get from it, Xu Yinglong and the other two immediately changed their attitude towards Zhu Yan. After all, this is far more beneficial than their grabbing the position of city lord!

Zhu Yan was just pretending before, so he took over the position of city lord without much hesitation.

On the same day, everyone in Baiyan City learned the news.

The hunting teams under Sun Tu and Xu Yinghu were only in a panic for a while, and then they were swept away by Xu Yinglong and others.

At this point, the position of the city lord of Baiyan City was peacefully handed over.

"Brother Luo, how much do you think they believe your words?"

After learning the specific situation, Zi Ling smiled and brewed a cup of tea for Luo Hong.

"Haha, it's not important whether they believe it or not. The key is whether the new city lord can bring them greater benefits.

As long as Zhu Yan can do it, even if they have some evidence, they will only choose not to see it.

Okay, stop working, Zhu Yan should be done, let's go to the treasure house of Baiyan City to take a look."

Without drinking tea, Luo Hong saw that the time was almost up, so he took Zi Ling out of the room.

Not far away, they ran into Zhu Yan who came to find them.

So, the three of them went straight to the treasure house of Baiyan City without saying a word.

The treasure house of Baiyan City is divided into public and private treasuries. The former is on the first floor of the castle. Luo Hong has been there before. There are mostly yellow-level beast cores and various scale beast materials.

The latter is Sun Tu's personal property, located on the top floor of the castle. Although Luo Hong has not been there, he believes that there must be many high-value things inside.

Not long after, the three of them came to a huge stone door.

There was a groove in the middle of the stone door, and the shape was exactly the same as Sun Tu's city lord token.

So Zhu Yan took out the token and embedded it into the groove.

Suddenly, bright starlight bloomed from all over the stone door. With a sound of rock friction, the stone door sank by itself and opened a passage.

The treasure house behind the stone door was not big. There were star patterns on the four walls, and they were all shining with starlight at this moment.

With a glance, Luo Hong noticed a stone platform in the center of the treasure house. There was only a red beast core on it, but it was as big as an adult's fist and was extremely round!

"This is a heaven-level beast core!"

Luo Hong's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked forward, picked up the beast core, and examined it carefully.

Zi Ling was also wandering around in the treasure house at this time. She found that there were almost no mysterious-level beast cores in the storehouse, but there were more than 300 earth-level beast cores, and the rest were some precious scale beast materials.

She was not interested in any of this, and she looked overjoyed until she found a shelf with jade slips.

"Brother Luo, there are many profound Taoist books here, can I take them away?"

"As long as you find it useful, feel free to take it."

Luo Hong also walked over at this time. Except for the heaven-level beast core, he already knew the number of other beast cores in the treasure house.

Before Xuan Dao breaks through Da Luo, Luo Hong will not use any earth-level beast cores to improve his cultivation, so they will still stay here in the future.

In contrast, Luo Hong is now more interested in those Xuan Dao techniques.

You must know that his Nine-turn Xiaolong Kung can only be practiced to the early stage of Taiyi. It was only through his own understanding and deduction that he completed the sixth turn.

However, after the seventh turn, there is the Da Luo realm, which is a big hurdle. Luo Hong is currently stuck here and is in urgent need of other Xuan Dao skills for reference.

After entering the treasure house, both Luo Hong and Zi Ling gained something, but Zhu Yan kept frowning and showing disappointment.

"Brother Zhu, I have never asked you before, what kind of treasure do you need to recover from your orifice injuries?"

Luo Hong couldn't help but ask when he saw this.

"What Zhu needs is the unique sulfur-flavored blood cloud in the Scale Sky Realm. This treasure contains extremely pure and huge power of blood. It can directly help Daluo Xuanshi to open the mysterious aperture, and it is more than enough to cure Zhu's injuries. ”

Zhu Yan sighed and replied directly.

"If there is such a treasure, I'm afraid it won't be found in the other three affiliated cities. Only in Xuancheng can it be possible to obtain it."

Luo Hong nodded when he heard this. He actually had the idea of ​​collecting a few sulfur blood clouds. After all, this thing is very easy to refine, and its effect on Xuanshi is almost immediate.

"It is said that during the Five Cities Martial Arts Competition, this treasure may appear as a reward for the first place. However, the city lord cannot participate, so can I ask Brother Luo to take action at that time?"

Zhu Yan cupped his hands and begged.

"Brother Zhu, do you think this heaven-level beast core was hunted by Sun Tu himself?

If you want the Sulfur Blood Cloud, you can exchange it during trade without having to go through such trouble. "

Sun Tu desperately collected resources to support Xuancheng just for these treasures. Zhu Yan's wave of truth was really to abandon the original and pursue the last.

"I see. It seems that I, the city lord, was really right."

Zhu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately knew what he should do next.

After coming out of the treasure house, the three of them immediately started working on their own things.

Zi Ling studied the puppet classics all day long, Zhu Yan paid close attention to the production of the hunting team, and Luo Hong, with the help of Fang Chan, began to refine weapons crazily.

Just one month later, three caravans led by Xu Yinglong each set off for the selected affiliated city.

A large number of Xuan-level beast cores began to gather towards Baiyan City, adding to Luo Hong's Xuan Dao cultivation!
