Early in the morning, the sun rose, and its warm rays shone down.
All the Patriarchs stood before the ruins of the City Lord's Estate, waiting for Ye Xingchen's appearance.
Some of them had nervous expressions, some had nervous expressions, and some had a trace of excitement on their faces.
"I wonder what this Young Master wants us to do?"
"He's too strong. If he's the City Lord, then perhaps our City Lord won't have to fear the surrounding cities."
"I feel that he won't stay here, but he won't give up on it either. He'll probably find a City Lord amongst us to help him manage the city."
…
Unlike the discussions of the other Patriarchs, Crimsonbright's expression was calm as he stood there like a statue.
An hour later, Ye Xingchen appeared before the City Lord's Estate.
After he arrived, he glanced at Crimsonbright and said directly, "I need someone to manage Crimsonbright City for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Patriarchs present became excited.
Managing Crimsonbright City for him and becoming the City Lord could be said to be reaching the heavens in a single step. Everyone wanted such power and status.
Even though they were excited, none of them spoke. The decision was in Ye Xingchen's hands, so it was useless even if they spoke.
Ye Xingchen saw that everyone was excited, but only Crimsonbright was calm. He nodded in his heart. Crimsonbright had experienced many hardships, and his character was steady.
"None of you spoke. I believe none of you have any objections to letting Crimsonbright take over the position of City Lord, right?" Ye Xingchen said.
Crimsonbright was slightly stunned and surprised. Ye Xingchen had asked him to kill the City Lord and take revenge. That was already an enormous favor, and he was prepared to use his entire life to repay Ye Xingchen. But now, he was actually asked to be the City Lord.
Even though the other Patriarchs were unwilling, after they witnessed Ye Xingchen's strength last night, they didn't dare to resist.
"Besides announcing that Crimsonbright will be the City Lord, I asked Crimsonbright to come here for one more thing. I need all of you to support Crimsonbright with all your might. Don't be disloyal," said Ye Xingchen.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the families' faces turned ugly.
Initially, they wanted to wait for Ye Xingchen to leave before forcing Chiming to give up his position as the City Lord. But now, the latter was asking them to support Chiming with all their might. This was too much!
Someone immediately walked out and said, "This young master, we are very grateful to you for getting rid of Crimson Mang City Lord who is causing trouble, but we can't do it if you want us to support Crimson Light with all our strength."
"That's right, Young Master. You should think this through. Although Chi Ming is the son of the previous City Lord, his cultivation and experience are not enough for him to be the City Lord. Please reconsider."
"It's not that we don't want to help Crimson Light, it's just that he can't convince the masses!"
Voices of disagreement could be heard among the Patriarchs.
Bang!
Ye Xingchen flicked his finger, and the person who spoke just now was sent flying.
He looked at them with a faint smile and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"We wouldn't dare!" Many of the Patriarchs felt a chill in their hearts.
At this moment, a Patriarch who was very old stood out and said respectfully, "Young Master, my Wang Family is willing to assist Crimsonbright City Lord with all our strength to govern Crimsonbright City."
"We are willing too."
"I am willing too."
"..."
One or two Patriarchs fought to be the first to stand out and express their stance. They were afraid that if they hesitated, they would be killed.
"Crimson Light, you will be in charge of this city. Do you have a problem?" Ye Xingchen said.
"I will not let young master down." Crimson Light said firmly.
"Greetings Crimson Light City Lord." All the Patriarchs bowed.
Ye Xingchen took out a scroll that looked like an imperial edict and said, "Since you all acknowledge Crimson Light and are willing to support him to be the City Lord, then leave a strand of your soul on this contract!"
This scroll was a contract that was made with special materials. Through the soul imprint that the martial artist left on it, he could control the life and death of the martial artist.
It was something that Ye Xingchen spent a million luck points to exchange for in the system store. It could only be used on martial artists below Lesser Celestial Realm.
"This …"
Everyone hesitated. Leaving the soul imprint on the contract meant that their lives were in someone else's hands. They didn't even have the ability to resist.
But if they didn't leave a soul imprint today, they probably wouldn't be able to leave the City Lord Manor.
"Our Zhang family will definitely do our best to support City Lord Crimson. It is just leaving a soul imprint, then let our Zhang family lead the way!" The very old Wang Family Patriarch was the first to leave a soul imprint on the contract.
"Old fox …"
Everyone cursed in their hearts. At the same time, they regretted. If they were the first to stand out, they might have left a good impression on Ye Xingchen. It would be of great help to their family's future development.
Many Patriarchs left a soul imprint unwillingly.
Crimson Light also wanted to leave a soul imprint on the contract. Ye Xingchen stopped him and said, "I believe you."
Crimson Light was touched but he still insisted on leaving a soul imprint.
Ye Xingchen kept the contract and told the Patriarchs to leave. He said, "Crimson Light, I hope you won't disappoint me."
"I definitely won't." Crimson Light said.
Ye Xingchen took out 10 Three Purities Pill and said, "These 10 pills are enough for you to break through to the peak of Transcendence Realm."
Crimson Light's cultivation was only at Transcendence Realm. He was too weak. Although the contract guaranteed that the Patriarchs wouldn't overthrow him, if they disobeyed, Crimson Light wouldn't be able to manage the city.
Thus, Crimson Light's cultivation had to increase to a level that could shock the Patriarchs.
Ye Xingchen didn't stay in Crimson Light City for long. He left and found the bandit boss who had already escaped far away. After ending his life, he returned to the small village.
"You fought yesterday?" Lin Rou, who was playing with Dark Moon, asked the moment he entered the mountain people's courtyard.
"The person behind the bandits was very strong. I had to fight a bloody battle to kill him." Ye Xingchen said.
Lin Rou was moved. "To be able to fight with you, is this person that strong?
Is he at Lesser Celestial Realm? I should have gone with you. "
Her words were filled with concern.
"It's time for me to leave," Ye Xingchen said.
Lin Rou was reluctant, but she still said, "Yes, I also received a message from the pavilion. The sect elders have arrived at Taihuang City. I'm going to meet up with them."
The next morning, Ye Xingchen left a hundred spirit crystals for the mountain people and left the small village with An Yuan and Dark Moon.
After he left, Lin Rou sighed softly. "Ye Heng, I wonder when we can meet again."
Ye Xingchen brought An Yuan and An Yuan back to the Wu house of the Taihuang City encampment. He then drove a rank five heron eagle and flew toward the Seon Of Silla.
The Seon Of Silla was located in the east of Taixu, millions of miles away. Even a rank five fierce beast would need to fly for more than a month to return to the Seon Of Silla.
A month later, Ye Xingchen arrived at the Taihu Prefecture of the Seon Of Silla.
As soon as he entered Taihu Prefecture, he found that the entire Taihu Prefecture had taken on a new look and was full of vitality.
