Chapter 1229 Strong words and reason
Even when Xie Lan's parents are still alive, you must respect their suggestions!
At this moment, some of the elders suggested a competition, and some other elders wanted to stop it, but they couldn't find a suitable reason, and they were about to start a dispute.
"Okay! I agree."
At the critical moment, Xie Lan spoke.
At this time, some elders urgently sent a message: "Girl Lan, they have obviously set a trap. The possibility of you winning the competition is very small!"
Xie Lan nodded slightly: "My niece knows! However, in front of so many people, even if they win the competition, at most I will lose some face. It's nothing. They don't dare to go too far."
The elder thought for a while: "That's right."
Seeing Xie Lan's agreement, Xie Hua's eyes flashed with a glint of pride. He shouted loudly and raised his sleeves: "Then please, Sister Lan, appreciate my harvest!"
A bang-bang-bang sound was heard, and large swaths of smoke and dust were thrown up.
Although the results of the comparative test were already expected, when seeing Xie Hua's gains, Xie Lan couldn't help but frown deeply, showing a look of defeat!
"Hiss! How amazing! Are those Master Hua's prey?"
"Tsk, tsk, now, the eldest lady and the others are outclassed!"
"What do you know? Master Hua has just entered the realm of Dragon Gate, and the eldest lady has already reached the realm of Dragon Gate Three Elements! In a normal competition, do you think Master Hua can compete?"
"What's the point? The purpose of the hunting competition is to see how much potential power each of you can possess! Even if you have to find someone to help you, it's your own power! If you have the ability, ask the eldest lady to find a strong person for help!"
At this moment, the quantity of prey taken out by Xie Hua was not outstanding, but the quality was extremely high. The highest among them were monster beasts from the Three Yuan Realm of Longmen, and there were two in number! It exceeded Xie Lan's harvest!
As for other monsters, the difference is not too big.
But the two-headed dragon gate with three yuan is really amazing——
After all, the Demonic Vortex Forest is the base camp of demonic beasts, with many dangers lurking in it. Moreover, demonic beasts are cunning by nature, especially such powerful demonic beasts, which possess considerable wisdom.
Being able to catch two heads in one fell swoop is enough to be considered an outstanding achievement!
"Okay! You are indeed a descendant of my Xie family!"
Suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded, and then a middle-aged man descended from the void. He looked very similar to Xie Hua, but he was much more mature, and his aura was more powerful!
This person is the current real power controller of Youmen City, and is also Xie Lan’s second uncle, Xie Diguang!
"Second uncle."
When Xie Lan saw that he said "Xie family's son", he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he wanted to say hello in a hurry and passed by, "Xiaobao and I were assassinated on the way back. We are a little tired now, so we will go back first.
Let’s rest. My cousin won this hunting competition.”
"Assassination?"
Xie Diguang's eyes flashed, and then showed endless anger, "How dare you assassinate you within the confines of my Xie family's Youmen City? You really have eaten gentian! Don't worry, my second uncle will definitely help you in this matter, and those people will definitely be killed.
Find the killer and kill him everywhere!"
What he said was domineering, but after seeing the second uncle's behavior in the past two years, Xie Lan no longer had the energy to deal with him. She just nodded gently and prepared to take Xie Baobao away.
"Wait a minute."
A look of anger flashed across Xie Diguang's face, but he covered it up well, and then said, "I have something to discuss with you, my niece, this time!"
Before Xie Lan could ask questions, he already thought to himself: "Since your father's death, we in Youmen City have been leaderless. I rely solely on your second uncle and me to support me. After all, it is not enough, and it seems unjust and unjust -"
Xie Lan interrupted him directly: "If my second uncle feels that he is unable to do anything, then he can take off his heavy responsibilities from today on! Xiaobao will take over your responsibilities, and he will definitely not let my power in Youmen City decline.
!”
Xie Diguang was so choked by her that he almost went crazy on the spot. However, he was very thoughtful and endured it. He slapped his face with a smile and said: "Niece, you are joking! But you just mentioned Xiaobao.
, this is exactly what the second uncle wants to discuss with you."
"We all have seen that Xiaobao is weak by nature. He doesn't even dare to kill a monster. In the future, even with the protection of your father's spirit in heaven, how much success will he have? How can he lead us in Youmen City here?
Survive the cruel dark world!"
"Second uncle! Be careful what you say!" Xie Lan scolded with a stern expression.
After all, Xie Baobao has not experienced too many things. He was so unceremoniously reprimanded in front of him, and his face turned red with grievance. However, the previous assassination experience has greatly tempered his character, so he is still
Gritting his teeth stubbornly.
"Oh, my second uncle knows these words are unpleasant, and you don't want to hear them, but my second uncle has to say them!"
Xie Diguang showed compassion and continued in a selfless tone, "Forcing others to make things difficult will not end well in the end! You know it yourself, Xiaobao is not a good candidate for cultivation at all. He is sitting on the resources of our Youmen City.
, I don’t know how many treasures have been spent, but now he is just barely at the Tianzun level. In this way, even if he is promoted to the position of city lord, do we want people to know that the city lord of Youmen City is only at the Tianzun level?"
"I will protect him!" Xie Lan said angrily.
"That's exactly the crux of the problem. Xiaolan, if you were a man, my second uncle would definitely push you to the position of city lord and assist you wholeheartedly! But -"
"After all, you are a woman, and you will get married in the future. When you get married, can you still protect Xiaobao? Even if you continue to stay in Youmen City, will you still care about obeying your husband when you get married?
Does it belong to our Xie family?"
Xie Diguang's words were obviously simulated countless times in secret. At this moment, they came out like clouds and flowing water, leaving no one able to refute them.
"alright."
There are elders who come out to smooth things over, and it will take a long time. In the next few years, I will ask you to act as the acting city lord! In a few years, the little city lord will grow up, and he may be able to become a big man.
"That's right! Elder Han is right."
"Yes! We think so too. The little city lord is still young after all, and there will be plenty of room for growth in the future."
About half of the elders who stood up to speak for the Xie Lan siblings were all direct descendants of the Xie family's parents. Naturally, they did not want to see their orphans being bullied at this moment.
As for the other elders, although they had received favors from the old city lord, after Xie Diguang's repeated attacks and the combination of kindness and power, they had already changed their tune and turned to the other side.
Therefore, they immediately sang the opposite tune: "Growth? That's a complete joke! Didn't the Dai City Lord give him a chance to grow? How has he grown in the past two years?"
"That's right! Besides, the eldest lady can protect him as he grows up. Now you can see the result! Women are just women after all. We admit that the eldest lady is a rare genius, but she is deficient in her own talents! She is not decisive enough at critical moments. From then on,
It can be seen in just one hunting competition - why do they gain less? I think the fundamental reason is that they can't be ruthless! In the dark world, if you can't be ruthless, you will die! I firmly disagree with handing over the future of our Youmen City.
To such a kind and soft-hearted person!"
What this elder said was simply full of absurdities, but his words were logically clear and perfectly matched from sentence to sentence, making it impossible to refute.
Xie Diguang secretly cast an approving look in the past, and then said: "This is exactly the truth! In fact, this hunting is also a test for me to Xiaobao and his brother! If they can win the competition, then I, Xie Diguang, will have to work hard for two more years.
What if I can dedicate a little more of my remaining heat to their siblings? After all, this Youmen City was conquered by my eldest brother!"
He was impassioned, as if he was willing to sacrifice everything for the family: "But now, I really can't see any hope! They can't even win a mere hunting competition, how can they lead us in Youmen City and...
How can the other forces compete? How can we ensure the safety of hundreds of millions of city gates? How can we allow the elders to obtain better cultivation resources!?"
A series of words, especially the last paragraph, touched the hearts of many elders. Even the elders who had previously protected Xie Lan's siblings had expressions of struggle on their faces——
Although they were grateful for the kindness of the old city lord and chose to protect the Xie family siblings, but from the bottom of their hearts, they did not expect Xie Baobao to become the city lord.
"You guys, you're going too far!"
Xie Lan has always carried a huge burden on her shoulders, and she is always worried that the city her father broke into will fall into the hands of her second uncle! For this reason, she works hard and dare not slack off!
She thought that as time went by, she would be able to consolidate her younger brother's position and dispel Xie Diguang's ambitions, but she didn't expect that all these changes would happen so fast! So fast that she had no way of guarding against it!
"Xiaolan, what you said is so unreasonable?"
Xie Diguang said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by bullying? Second uncle always thinks about us, Youmen City! Moreover, second uncle gave you a chance this time. If you lose the hunting competition, who can you blame?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly levitated, waves of powerful Zen aura came out, and all the power of the sixth level of the Tao realm was released and moved!
The release of that powerful aura immediately forced the expressions of countless people to change, and the balance in their hearts tilted even further!
His cultivation talent is also pretty good. He also reached the third level of Longmen back then, and now he is in the sixth level. He is naturally much better than Xie Lan.
This display of cultivation force made Xie Lan's body tremble, and he couldn't even refute!
Xie Di Guangping took the opportunity and said loudly: "I, Xie Diguang proposed - Xie Lan, Xie Baobao and his brother have lost the hunting competition, which shows that their character is insufficient and they are unable to assume the important role of city leader! As a result, the position of city leader is transferred to -"
"Ahem."
Chapter completed!
