Tiansheng Dynasty, Canglan City.

Qin Zheng's convoy slowly drove into the city gate, lifted a corner of the curtain, and Qin Zheng looked at the street view of the city.

The spacious streets and ordinary buildings were supposed to be a lively day in the street market, but at this moment there was a depressing atmosphere floating.

Many people stopped by the street, with deep worries in their eyes. Some wives and children lowered their heads and cried. These were the families of the soldiers who died in battle. When the cart that transported the bodies into the city, they trembled and rushed to the cart. After finding the bodies of their relatives, they cried all the time on the spot.

Some relatives live in the Nanming and Kunyue towns. When they learn that their relatives were kidnapped by the sea tribe, they all collapsed to the ground, looked sad and angry, and howling sounded everywhere, causing the aura of sadness to spread throughout the city.

Some great scholars and literati walked out of their houses, set up desks, kowtowed to the sky, and red blood stained the stone slabs, praying to the heavens for refuge and blessing the human race.

A hint of unbearance flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes, he put down the curtain and took a deep breath.

"Li Nan, this time the sea clan abducted more than 5,000 of our residents, but one day, I will rescue all the compatriots who were abducted by the sea clan!"

"City Lord, don't blame yourself. This is fate! The sea clan is powerful, and we can only survive with caution now. But I believe that you, Lord City Lord, you will definitely be able to fulfill your vow today!" Li Nan said excitedly.

The convoy arrived at the lord's mansion in Canglan City.

The Qin Mansion is connected to the City Lord Mansion, and is separated by a corridor, covering an area of ​​about ten acres, and the architectural style is ancient and vicissitudes.

Qin Zheng jumped out of the carriage and looked up. A well-known courtyard stood in front of him. There was a small square in front of the door. The statues of the four divine beasts of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise were erected in all directions, adding a hint of majesty.

"Sir, what should I do with the messenger of Hanhai City?" Li Nan asked respectfully.

"Didn't they say they had something to discuss with me and let them come. I want to see what tricks the people in Hanhai City want to play!" Qin Zheng raised his hand and stepped into the Qin Mansion compound under General Su's escort.

Immediately, a loud "City Lord returns to the mansion!" sounded from the city lord's mansion, "

A few minutes later, the four-headed blue-winged tiger pulled a majestic golden chariot and parked in the square at the front door of the city lord's mansion. It was the golden chariot that Qin Zheng had seen in the suburbs before.

The four-headed glass-winged tigers in the cart show their fierce power, their hair is full of excitement, and their fists are the size of their fists are flashing blood. A powerful majesty emanates from the veil, which shocks all the people around them.

"Who are these people? Are they the legendary Xuan-level spirit beast, so terrible!"

"Oh, you don't know yet? These are all people from Hanhai City. I see that they are coming in full force, and I'm afraid they are going to re-propose the incident three months ago."

"You mean the incorporation of our Canglan City into Hanhai City? If so, it might be a good thing for us ordinary people. I heard that the Black Lotus Army in Hanhai City was extremely brave and fought several victories with the Lion and Tiger tribes in succession. If they had them to protect us, maybe we would no longer have to be afraid of the invasion of the sea tribe."

"Yes, if the old city lord is still alive, with his infinite realm strength, we don't have to worry about the bullshit sea clan. Unfortunately, the old city lord died in a battle with the master a year ago, and now his son is the city lord. But that Qin Zheng is just a yellow-haired boy. I heard that his strength is only at the third level of the mortal realm, and he is a few hundred times different from the old city lord. I'm afraid the Qin family will begin to decline."

"quiet!"

"The Chief Xuanwu Envoy of Hanhai City, Lord Helian Xiongfeng has arrived!"

A general jumped out of the escort chariot next to him and screamed with a big throat, which was extremely powerful.

The golden chariot is as big as a house, reflecting dazzling golden light, which makes many passers-by unable to help but swallow. This is all made of gold, and it is not ordinary gold, but golden essence. How much resources does it take to create it!

With a creaking sound, the chariot doors moved, and a pair of luxurious and wealthy leather boots stepped on the ground, and a figure with a tiger-back and bear-waisted waist came out.

The owner of the leather boots has a middle-aged face, bright facial features and sharp eyes. She is wearing a red python robe, a feathered cloak on her shoulders, and a black iron sword hanging on her waist. She is powerful without anger.

And what is surprising is that a black lotus was carved on the forehead of the middle-aged man, which was lifelike, as if he was alive. Not long after, the onlookers on the road felt that the air temperature had increased a lot, which was extremely hot.

This person is the Xuanwu envoy of Hanhai City, the commander of the Helian Army, and Helian Xiongfeng!

"My father, all the way, Canglan City was invaded by the sea tribe and was seriously injured and unable to defend itself. This time our opportunity has come. We must bite Canglan City hard to get a piece of fat meat down!"

After Helian Xiongfeng walked out, another young man came down from the golden chariot, wearing a gloomy face, and a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth. It was Helian Xiongfeng's eldest son Helian Tieko.

Of course, this boy is also born with a unique appearance. There is a red lotus on his forehead. The power it exudes is slightly worse than that of Helian's majestic black lotus. However, Helian Tiekou's aura is long and his eyes are bright and his divine light is obvious. He obviously has a strong cultivation level.

"Of course, Qin Zheng's yellow-haired boy is just in his prime, how can he be able to control a city? This time, the sea tribe invasion caused heavy losses to Canglan City. Not only did he suffer economic damage, but he even had the population and the people. This shows that Qin Zheng has no ability to control Canglan City at all!"

"Haizhou Eight Cities, my Hanhai City has the greatest power, the city defense is the strictest, and the combat power is the most powerful! If he knows each other and seeks to rely on us, the best choice is!"

Helian Xiongfeng's tone was solemn, and he looked around at the street environment of Canglan City, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Canglan City Qin Family Mansion.

Qin Zheng stepped into the core of the mansion and the conference hall.

There were dozens of people in the hall. Some of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qin Zheng appear, while others frowned and smiled disdainfully. Some even showed a disgusting expression, not taking Qin Zheng, the city lord, seriously at all.

"Qin Zheng, my nephew, you are here. I received the news that Hanhai City will re-introduce the annexation of my Canglan City. Moreover, the envoy they sent this time was Helian Xiongfeng, the envoy of Xuanwu of the Black Lotus Army. How do you deal with it? Will you really have to hand over Canglan City for nothing?"

At the left of the hall, there was a middle-aged man with a solemn expression, dressed in white and looked quite handsome. He was Chu Yi, the deputy lord of Canglan City. However, his tone of speaking was a hint of force, and there was even a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

In his early years, Chu Yi followed Qin Zheng's father Qin Mang and conquered a country. He was talented in civil and military affairs and was quite extraordinary.

Behind him, a group of people from the Chu family gathered.

In the original Qin family, Qin Zheng's father Qin Mang had the strength of the third level of the Wuliang Realm, and was the strongest in Canglan City! But as soon as he died, Chu Yi was the first in strength and had the cultivation level of the third level of the Xuanling Realm.

In this world, the strong are respected, but the Qin family has a scholarly family and abide by the ancestral teachings of great Confucianism. The position of lord of Canglan City can only be inherited by the eldest son and grandson.

Therefore, even though Chu Yi had the best strength, he could only watch Qin Zheng take the lead. But he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart. After all, Canglan City could develop to its current scale, and he made a lot of contributions, and he brought his brothers to his life for his life.

Chu Yi always wanted Qin Zheng to step down and seize the power of the city lord himself!

It is precisely because Chu Yi is the first in strength that many Canglan City officials defected to Chu Yi one after another. There was no strong man around Qin Zheng, and the strongest man who was loyal to him was Su Shaoqing, who was at the seventh level of the mortal fetal realm.

Qin Zheng stepped into the conference hall and felt the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Dozens of gazes shot up, almost all with a ray of spiritual pressure. Some of them were powerful people in the True Yuan Realm. His gaze could even kill people. His obvious intention was to destroy Qin Zheng's mind.

Qin Zheng didn't care at all. He was no longer the original Qin Zheng, but the emperor Qin Zheng ten thousand years later. What is the oppression of these people on themselves?

"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew and lightning, and should be viewed like this!"

In an instant, Qin Zhengxin was as empty as the void, resisting the spiritual pressure of everyone, and walked towards the leader's seat in the hall with a calm expression.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Zheng sat down and smiled and said, "My lords, and elders, I am so lucky. I have escaped this invasion of the sea clan and will burn incense and pay tribute tomorrow. Thank you for your kindness for your protection from the ancestors of the Qin family!"

"Haha, this is wrong. It is true that the predecessors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the cool air, but what is the ability of the dead? Can they still climb out to protect you? So what's the use of worshiping ancestors? If you want to keep peace in the area, it's better to surrender to my Hanhai City. Do you think it's right or wrong, Qin Zheng's nephew!"

At this moment, several stormy figures broke into the conference hall, and the leader, with a tiger-back and a bear-bear-waisted waist, was mighty, laughing and walked in.

"Helian's thriving wind!"

Qin Zheng looked at him, and instantly felt solemn, and his tone was raised, and he paused word by word.

"My nephew, when it comes to seniority, you should call me Uncle Helian!" Helian Xiongfeng narrowed his eyes.

Qin Zheng's information came to his mind. According to the information in his memory, Helian Xiongfeng was a powerful figure in Haizhou. He commanded the Black Lotus Army in Hanhai City, and his power and force were extraordinary.

"Helian Xiongfeng, if you don't train your Black Lotus Army in Hanhai City, what's the point of running to my Canglan City to show off your power!" Chu Yi stood up, and his tall body faced Helian Xiongfeng, which was not inferior to the other party.

"Who is of course here to help! My father heard that the sea tribe invaded Canglan City, and immediately mobilized 10,000 Black Lotus Army, and is now stationed in Guyang Road. But now it seems that you are lucky, and you are not even shoveled by the sea tribe." Helian Tieko smiled and said sarcastically.

Chu Yi originally wanted to scold Helian Tiekou for not distinguishing between elders and young people, but he interrupted, but later he heard that the 10,000 Black Lotus Army was stationed in Gu Yangdao, thirty miles from Canglan City. His expression changed drastically and he could not say a word.

Not only him, but all the officials in Canglan City in the entire conference hall, including the Qin family, were shocked and showed nervousness.

Hanhai City has always had the ambition to get involved in Canglan City. If you take advantage of this moment, Canglan will have no power to reach it!

Helian Tieko was very satisfied with the silence of the crowd at this moment. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Zheng excitedly, but saw the other party looking at him with a smile, without a trace of nervousness and fear.

Now Helian Tieko was a little unhappy, walked straight up, came to Qin Zheng ten meters in front of him, pointed at him, and said coldly: "You are Qin Zheng?"

"Yes, I am Qin Zheng." Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes and heard a trace of murderous intent from Helian Tiekou's mouth.

Looking at the Honglian in the center of Helian Tiekou's forehead, Qin Zheng felt extremely calm.

"So this person practiced the Holy Lotus Battle Skills, first-grade green lotus, second-grade white lotus, third-grade black lotus, fourth-grade green lotus, fifth-grade purple lotus, sixth-grade red lotus, and seventh-grade ghost lotus. He just cultivated the red lotus, and dared to talk to me in such a tone. If it were in his previous life, he would have slashed with one sword."

So Qin Zheng said lightly: "Who are you?"

"Listen, I am Helian Tiekou, the left vanguard envoy of the Black Lotus Army in Hanhai City, and I am here!" Helian Tiekou said proudly.

"What, Helian Iron Bucket?" Qin Zheng shouted.

Puchi...

Suddenly, everyone in the conference hall couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"You..." Helian Tiekou was furious and arrogant, and wanted to draw out his weapons.

“Bold!”

Su Shaoqing stood up, and his murderous intent tilted out, and his intention to protect the master was self-evident.

But immediately a big hand was inserted into it, and with a casual slap, a hot stream of true energy flowed. Su Shaoqing flew out about ten meters away, stood there, struggled and blushed, unable to move.

It's Helian's mighty style!

He looked stern and smiled coldly: "Qin Zheng, your good subordinate! How dare you attack my son?"

"Helian Xiongfeng, don't talk about it. You come today, what's the matter with me?" Qin Zheng glanced at Su Shaoqing and sighed. The power around him was still too weak!

Su Shaoqing is at the seventh level of the mortal realm, and Helian Xiongfeng in front of him subdued him in one move, at least he is a master at the seventh level of the Xuanling realm!

"Haha, Qin Zheng, I underestimated you. It seems that you are not as useless as rumored."

"My purpose is very simple. Your Canglan City was invaded by the sea tribe this time and was unable to resist, so that the people suffered and the people lived in poverty. If they were invaded by other barbarians in the future, there would be only a dead end!"

"And my Hanhai City Wu Kingdom has great talents, understanding your hardships and is willing to help you. So I asked me to dispatch 10,000 Black Lotus Army to help you arrange city defenses. If the barbarians invade, if my Black Lotus Army takes action, you don't need to worry! In the future, you just need to sit in the mansion and enjoy the peace and happiness!" Helian Xiongfeng said solemnly, emitting a sharp edge all over his body, and his tone did not hide his naked ambitions.

As soon as these words were said, everyone in Canglan City was disgusted, and the civil official Yan Huaijin even angrily rebuked: "Helian Xiongfeng, you have such a great ambition. The Qin family was granted by the Emperor of the Tiansheng Dynasty and commanded Canglan City forever. You and others sent the Black Lotus Army to station them, and some other involve the Qin family's autonomy. This is to seize the power of Canglan City, and they should be punished!"

"Rareless, you old man, what are you talking nonsense?" Helian Tieko glared at Yan Huaijin, his right palm danced in the void with a mysterious trajectory, and a hot true energy emerged out of thin air.

The temperature in the entire conference hall instantly increased by dozens of degrees. Some people with low cultivation were all trembling, their foreheads were covered in hot sweat, and their clothes were all covered in white smoke, almost burning.
