Chapter 149: Determined

White lanterns hung up all over the City Lord Manor. The people who came in and out were also draped with white cloths. Now, all the major and minor families of the demon race had rushed over to attend the City Lord’s funeral.

However, they could only occupy half of the space while the other half was occupied by the humans.

“How dare these humans come over?”

“The City Lord was killed by them!”

“These bastards actually dare to come and attend the funeral. I think the human race is getting lawless if we don’t clean them up in two days.”

The humans and demons each occupied an area. Both sides looked at each other, not liking each other.

The demons knew that the City Lord had been killed by the humans. However, there was such a powerful sword immortal behind the humans. No one could do anything to them. If anyone took things too hard and used a knife on them, they would probably attract endless revenge.

No one here could withstand the sword of a Sword Immortal.

“Zhang Muyun, what are you thinking? I asked you to come forward, but you pushed the matter to the City Lord. Now that the City Lord is already lying in a coffin, who do you want to push the blame to?”

“Stop talking. He’s a coward. In my opinion, everyone should elect me as the new City Lord. At this time, we need a City Lord to unite everyone.”

A tanned and muscular middle-aged man stood up. He was two to three meters tall.

“Blackie, I say, come on. You’re not smart enough to be the City Lord?”

“Who are you calling stupid? Do you believe that I’ll smash your rat nest?”

Xiang Kelin’s beady eyes darted around. “I say, Blackie, if you really want to be the City Lord, it’s not impossible. Everyone should just hold a competition. Whoever wins will be the City Lord. What do you think?”

“As it should be.”

“Ping City has always been the territory of our demon race. Now that the human race is wreaking havoc, we need to quickly choose a powerful City Lord to hold the fort. It’s the most suitable situation to hold the competition.”

“I raise both hands in agreement!”

The demons were furious when they saw the humans repeatedly provoking them. In addition, now that something like this had happened to the City Lord, they urgently needed a new City Lord to lead them to suppress the human race again.

Zhang Muyun finally spoke after a long time. He was the strongest here. After all, he had a powerful bloodline. He was also one of the few people here who could be trusted.

However, he had been keeping his mouth shut, causing everyone to be furious.

“Tomorrow, then.”

Hearing this guy suddenly speak, the others were no longer calm.

“Good lord, you didn’t say anything just now, but now you suddenly want to pick up something ready-made?”

“I suggest that we ban the Zhang family from participating in the City Lord election.”

“That’s right. You didn’t even move when it was time for you to stand up. Yet you suddenly ran out when everyone has decided to choose the new City Lord. Aren’t you just trying to take advantage of us?”

Zhang Muyun slowly stood up and looked around. No one dared to look him in the eye. Ever since She Tianjun’s accident, this fellow’s aura seemed to have increased inexplicably.

There were people behind the demons who said that Zhang Muyun had secretly absorbed all of She Tianjun’s vitality into his body, allowing his strength to increase explosively.

After all, ever since the mineral vein was lost, the cultivation of the demons had been progressing very slowly.

It seemed that all the demons’ cultivation had been suppressed. Now, it was even more difficult for them to break through like before.

However, no one dared to stand out and point out what Zhang Muyun was doing. This kind of thing was common among the demons.

However, She Tianjun’s identity was special, so some people had some complaints about this and wanted to make an issue out of it.

Outside the City Lord Manor, Li Yuanqing slowly picked up his teacup and drank his tea while listening to Hu Jiujiu’s report.

“Ever since Master took the mineral vein, the cultivation situation of the demons has been very slow. Their few major families have already joined forces. I believe it won’t be long before they start to choose a new City Lord.”

Li Yuanqing looked down at the street. There were many more human cultivators on the street than before. Now, the status of the entire human race had risen greatly, mainly because their strength had increased very quickly.

There was suddenly such a hole after being repressed for so many years. Everyone worked even harder.

“Master, in Little Jiu’s opinion, Master should be determined to become the City Lord.” Hu Jiujiu poured tea for Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing shook his head slightly and turned to Hu Jiujiu. “You will be the City Lord.”

The choice of City Lord of Ping City was very simple. The previous City Lord was personally appointed by the higher-ups. Although he did not have a huge family backing him, he had been the City Lord for decades.

However, at this moment, it was the most difficult time. It was the critical moment when they needed a City Lord to organize everyone. In such an emergency, the higher-ups still allowed the people of Ping City to choose the City Lord through their own methods.

The way they chose the City Lord was very simple. Only the strongest person was qualified to be the City Lord.

After the old City Lord’s funeral, a few demon clans joined forces and built the arena. This time, the arena was set up in a dojo. It was open to all demons equally.

The judges were the elders of the few great demon clans. Most of the participants were the clan masters of the few great clans.

There were some little fellows who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to sign up to join in the fun. However, it was a critical time for the human race to rise. Zhang Muyun could not tolerate them messing around.

“The selection of the City Lord this time concerns the honor of our demon race.” Zhang Muyun stood on the stage and said loudly, “Our demon race has been the master of Ping City for the past six months. But now, the rise of the human race and the rampant human race have cruelly killed our City Lord.”

“With such deep hatred, if we don’t take revenge, our demon race will have no place in Ping City in the future.”

“Revenge for the City Lord!”

“Let the murderer pay with his life!”

Although everyone was shouting, they knew very well in their hearts. If the Sword Immortal really killed the City Lord, they did not have the guts to ask the Sword Immortal to pay with his life.

After Zhang Muyun finished speaking, he jumped off the stage and gave up the arena.

“Those who want to be the City Lord, come up and defeat your opponent.”

The burly man from the Black Bear Tribe suddenly jumped and landed heavily on the arena, causing the ground to tremble.

“I’m going to be the City Lord today. Whoever is unconvinced, come up and fight me.”

As soon as the burly man finished speaking, he suddenly tensed up his muscles. His muscles instantly expanded as if they were filled with air, causing his clothes to explode inch by inch.

The people below the stage hesitated as they looked at the three-meter-tall giant.

This competition was to defend the arena. You had to guard the arena until no one dared to challenge you. Many people below wanted to give it a try. After all, if they could become the City Lord, their families would soar into the sky.

This time, it was not just the City Lord. As long as he was chosen, he would be able to obtain the support of many demons. This was an opportunity that every family wanted. However, this opportunity was right in front of them. It all depended on who could hold it in their hands.

The Black Bear Tribe was well-developed and simple-minded. No one wanted to provoke him at this time.

In any case, this person would definitely not be able to become the City Lord in the end. However, if anyone were to stand out now and get injured by him, they would not have any advantage in the subsequent competitions.

After waiting for a long time, no one came up. The black bear laughed loudly. It looked at the people below and said proudly, “Why? No one dares to come up and fight me? In that case, the position of City Lord will belong to me.”

“Hahaha.” Xiang Kelin licked his lips and turned to look at Zhang Muyun. “Clan Master Zhang, if you don’t go up, he will automatically become the City Lord in a while.”

Zhang Muyun replied indifferently, “Since it’s a competition, let everyone participate.”

Xiang Kelin pursed his lips noncommittally. “Clan Master Zhang is really considerate of everyone.”

“Looks like you can’t wait.”

Zhang Muyun was not in a hurry, but Xiang Kelin could not hold it in anymore. He stood up and looked at Zhang Muyun. “Although this big guy’s skills are indeed not bad, his head is a little simple. Let me go up and help you deal with this guy. It’s unknown who will become the City Lord. Clan Master Xiang might be killing an enemy for himself.”

Just as everyone was hesitating, Xiang Kelin suddenly leaped and landed lightly on the arena.

A tall, burly man and a short, thin, middle-aged man. Their actions and figures formed a strong contrast.

Xiang Kelin was as insignificant as a child to the black bear.

“Hahaha, such a thing came up after waiting for so long?”

Seeing the black bear’s smug look, Xiang Kelin smiled. “Blackie, I don’t think you used to talk so much nonsense. Why are you so good at talking now? Which girl did you learn it from?”

“Come on, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You want to bully me just because you’re agile?” The clan master of the Black Bear Tribe looked at Xiang Kelin proudly. “I’m telling you, my brain is very useful now.”

“Is that so?”

“Alright, stop talking so much nonsense. I’m going to be the City Lord today. No matter what you think, I’m going to take one of your arms today.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed towards Xiang Kelin. His charging figure was simply like a truck that had lost control and was unreasonable.

Xiang Kelin did not dare to be negligent. He did not expect the honest old man to suddenly learn to be clever. He even knew how to use this move, attacking while they were talking, wanting to catch him off guard.

However, this trick was useless in the eyes of Xiang Kelin.

Big Black bumped into the edge of the arena. There was a very powerful restriction at the edge of the arena. Even with their immense strength, they could not break through it at all. However, he was confident. His sudden attack had no effect. Big Black looked up at the empty space in front of him and wondered where Xiang Kelin had gone.

Just as he was in a daze, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him. This black shadow quickly enlarged and was about to land on Big Black’s back.

“Look out!”

The spectators below suddenly exclaimed.

Before Big Black could turn around, he felt a chill on his back. Xiang Kelin’s knife was already at his neck.

“Blackie, I told you not to be a busybody.” Xiang Kelin was on his back, whispering into his ear.

Although the clan master of the Black Bear Tribe was not angry, the outcome had already been decided. There was no point in being conflicted.

Xiang Kelin stood proudly on the stage. His ghostly skills had frightened the people below so much that no one dared to rush up for a while.

After all, this guy was from an established wealthy family and had a lot of skills. They had not seen him fight for so many years. They were even more shocked and did not know how to deal with him now that he had attacked.

For a moment, no one ran towards the arena anymore.

Just as Xiang Kelin was feeling smug, there was a sudden commotion outside the dojo.

“Why can’t we enter? Since it’s a selection of City Lords, we humans can naturally participate.”

“You better get out of the way, or I’ll tear down your lousy dojo!”

“Get out of my way!”

With a loud shout, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside the dojo. A large cloud of dust suddenly surged out of the dark aisle. The door of the dojo had been blown up.

Zhang Muyun frowned as he looked at the place covered in smoke.

Not long after, a group of people walked out.

The muscles on the leader’s naked upper body shone like bronze. His eyes were as hot as fireworks in the sky, sparkling with flames.

“What do you want to do?”

Xiang Kelin stared unhappily at the humans behind him.

“Since ancient times, the City Lord of Ping City has always been a member of the demon race. We pity you guys, so we let you be a little smug now. Have you forgotten your status?”

“That’s right! A lowly human wants to be the City Lord?”

“The human race is just a low-grade bloodline. Just be a coolie and don’t get involved.”

The humans who came stood up one by one. There were dozens of them. They stood in two rows and stared at the demons aggressively.

The bald burly man standing at the front took a step forward, his aura surging out.

“Since you think that your bloodline has an advantage, you won’t be worried that we’ll participate in the competition, right?”

“Unless …”

“Unless you are a despicable race to begin with and are afraid of being ridden by us.”

Xiang Kelin turned to look at Zhang Muyun, but Zhang Muyun had no intention of interfering. It seemed like he had tacitly agreed.

When Xiang Kelin turned around, the muscular bald man was already standing in the ring, looking at him with burning eyes.
