128 Has Grown a Lot

"My lords, please." Danhan Danrong brought Jin Honglian and Kuang Polou to the living room, where sandalwood was lit. Danyu sat at the host's seat, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Compared with Danhan Danrong, Danyu's changes were "smaller", or Jin Honglian and Kuang Polou's cultivation was not enough to see through the disguise, but even if Danyu used magic to disguise himself as before, the changes from the soul could not be easily hidden, especially since everyone was familiar with him.

Therefore, even if his appearance did not change, Jin Honglian and the others could still feel that Danyu was younger.

Take a seat and serve tea.

The living room was very quiet, and Danhan Danrong stood on both sides behind Danyu, waiting for orders.

Jin Honglian was the youngest, and she didn't keep her temper. She spoke first. She looked at Danyu with a slightly puzzled look: "My lord Danyu, why did you ask us to come here..."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are going to give up entering the secret realm of Yaobailin, right?" Danyu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Needless to say, Jin Honglian, as the city lord, is now in a state of panic in the city and the outside world is eyeing her covetously. She will never abandon the residents of Shilin City for her own opportunity.

And if Kuang Polou wants to compete for the position of city lord, he must win the hearts of the people. Not to mention more, at least half of the residents must support him. It is true that he has a great influence among the top leaders, but the city lord of Shilin City is now surnamed Jin, and the aura of the previous city lord is too great, which is the will of the people. At this critical moment, he chooses to go to the secret realm instead of staying in the city. Jin Honglian will definitely gain a lot of people's hearts. Even if he finally gets the opportunity and seizes power forcefully, it will lead to the loss of residents, which is not worth the loss. And if Shilin City is not defended, what kind of city lord is he?

"You two don't need to worry, just go ahead. I have already broken through, and with the help of the city defense formation, it shouldn't be a problem to wait until you come out of the secret realm."

"Master Danyu, have you really broken through!?" Jin Honglian was very surprised. You know, Danyu has been stuck at the third level of the Demon Emperor for a thousand years, and with the increase of age, the strength that can be exerted is far less than the peak period, but the breakthrough is different. In the Mahayana realm, the gap between each small realm is very large.

"I don't need to lie to you about this." As she said, Danyu released the aura of the fourth level of the Demon Emperor very obscurely, although her real cultivation has reached the fifth level.

"God bless you!" Jin Honglian's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, and she was sincerely happy for Danyu's breakthrough. After all, she has always regarded Danyu as an elder, not a relative but more than a relative. Even after her father passed away, Danyu ignored her, Jin Honglian never blamed Danyu, but just looked for problems in herself, constantly thinking whether she had done something wrong.

"Congratulations, Lord Dan!" Kuang Polou was also very happy. Although his emotions were not as complicated as Jin Honglian's, Danyu's further improvement in strength meant that Shilin City had become stronger. Moreover, Danyu was not young. Even if he broke through, his life span would only increase by a few hundred years. He should not have any idea about the position of city lord, and there was no competition with him.

"But Lord Danyu, you just broke through not long ago, and your realm should not be very solid. Although the demon emperors of the eight major cities outside have been cleansed by the semi-saints of the human race in the Kunlun Realm, there are still more than ten surviving. I'm afraid it's too much for you and the city defense formation." Jin Honglian was not overwhelmed by Danyu's breakthrough. In a one-on-one situation, the demon emperor outside was indeed not easy to please, but the siege was different. She was still worried about Danyu's safety.

"Indeed." Kuang Po Lou also said: "The secret realm will not run away, and it will be the same next time."

"It will be a hundred years before the next secret realm opens. Honglian, Po Lou, how many hundred years do you think I can wait? If the eight major cities outside unite to do this every time before the secret realm opens, will you never go there for the rest of your life?" Dan Yu shook his head: "It's better to go when I have just broken through and my strength has been improved, so that I have a greater chance of defending Shilin City."

"But you..." Jin Honglian bit her lower lip. She couldn't push Dan Yu forward knowing that there was a fire pit ahead: "If it doesn't work, I will give up my pass token and let those guys outside the city fight to their heart's content, dog bite dog."

Kuang Po Lou couldn't help but look at Jin Honglian, but he didn't think he was acting, because her father was also so righteous, and it could only be said that they were worthy of being father and daughter.

Kuang Polou wanted to become the city lord, not only because he had the ambition to rise to the top, but also because he wanted to consolidate the status of Shilin City among the nine major cities, because Jin Honglian's cultivation was really not up to par, and during the holidays, Shilin City would become the target of attack by other cities. The current situation is just ahead of schedule.

Kuang Polou did not speak like Jin Honglian, there were only a few people present, and they all knew each other, so he really didn't need to pretend to be righteous.

"Silly child, I can let you go, so I must have a certain degree of confidence. Although I am old, I haven't lived enough. Even if I have lived enough, I can't drag the residents of the entire Shilin City into the water." Danyu raised his hand, gathered a faint demonic power, and patted Jin Honglian's head from a distance: "Just trust me once." Jin Honglian was extremely entangled. At this time, Danhan and Danrong also persuaded her. After a long time, Jin Honglian agreed with difficulty: "Master Danyu, I promise you that I will come back in the shortest time." "Don't worry, slowly find your own opportunity." "Master Dan, if I get the opportunity and you succeed in defending the city, I promise you that Shilin City will rise at a terrifying speed." Kuang Polou's expression was serious. "Well." Danyu nodded: "Don't take the quarrels between the two of you in the city outside the city. When you get to the secret realm, you can bear more for each other if you have the chance."

"Of course." It was true that Kuang Po Lou wanted to seize the throne, but he never thought of attacking his adopted brother's daughter. This would not be good for Shilin City at all, but would actually benefit the outside world. After all, Jin Honglian's potential is still quite large, and it is fully expected to break through the Mahayana in the future.

The same is true for Jin Honglian, tit for tat, but their positions have changed, which does not mean they have become enemies. She has always used Kuangpolou as a whetstone to hone herself.

"Since you understand that I have nothing to say, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest after drinking tea."

Jin Honglian and Kuangpolou picked up their teacups and drank it all in one gulp, then said goodbye to Niyu.

On the way back, the two sides still didn't speak. Although Niyu asked them to come here this time not to stand in line, but asking them to set off to the secret realm was far more serious than standing in line. Niyu was betting on their future with his life.

"Uncle Polou, the news of Lord Niyu's breakthrough..." Seeing that he was about to return to the city lord's palace, Jin Honglian suddenly spoke.

"How could I not know the importance? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"No, I mean, I hope you can let your men out."

"Oh?" Kuang Po Lou was a little surprised.

"Now the people are not united. If we both leave and the insiders planted by the outside world spread the word, I am afraid that the city gate will be wide open without attacking the city. But if the people know that Niwa-sama has made a breakthrough, their confidence will definitely rise."

"But have you ever thought that if you learn about Lord Dan's cultivation as soon as possible, the outside world will be more prepared?"

"If you don't know, are you not prepared enough?" Jin Honglian asked.

Kuang Po Lou laughed dumbly. Indeed, the outside world's intentions are now very clear and they will never hold back. It would be better to blow up Niwa's cultivation first and stabilize the people's hearts.

"You have grown a lot." Kuang Po said in the corridor.

"I am the city lord of Shilin City, and I will be the same in the future." Jin Honglian only replied with this sentence before walking into the city lord's mansion.

"It seems that we can no longer treat her as a child." Kuangpolou murmured to himself: "Then after coming out of the secret realm, everyone can do what they want."
