"stop."

Two guards stepped forward and said.

"I'm Su Bai." Su Bai said lightly.

"Su Bai!" The guard was startled, and the captain of the guard quickly came over and said with a respectful expression: "Sir Su Bai, the city lord was shocked and gave this order. When you come, just follow me."

The guard captain's words also surprised the other guards. He could actually let the city lord personally tell him who this person was.

"Let's go."

Su Bai said lightly.

"Yes." The guard captain replied respectfully, with a very humble attitude.

No one else knew what he had just heard from the city lord. The city lord actually said that the people who came were more powerful than him and that no one could afford to offend him.

If Su Bai knew what he was thinking, he would probably laugh.

In fact, this was all Su Bai asked Shangguan Lao to tell him, and he just came up with a false identity. After all, he would later promote his faith around Shangguan Lao.

When Su Bai entered the city lord's mansion, he immediately felt that it was really different.

Whether it is the decoration or the carving layout, it is extremely pleasing to the eye, as if it is a work of art.

Moreover, some elixirs are cultivated in the garden, which are of great value to ordinary people outside.

However, Su Bai only glanced at these things casually. After all, these things had little effect on him. Even the natural energy he absorbed at will was much stronger than these elixirs.

After walking for a while.

Su Bai stopped outside a hidden room.

"Sir, the city lord is waiting for you inside." The guard captain said respectfully.

As the captain of the guard, he usually introduced other people to the city lord, but he had never seen the city lord's tone.

He quickly retreated.

Su Bai also opened the door and walked in.

I saw Shangguan Laopan sitting among them. After seeing Su Bai coming in, he quickly stood up and said respectfully: "See the envoy of the gods!"

Moreover, he knelt directly in front of Su Bai.

If other people saw it, they would go crazy. As the city lord of Fengyang City, Shangguan Lao was so powerful that even the heads of the top families in Fengyang City would bow to him when they saw him. On weekdays, he was even more like a local emperor.

He actually knelt down in front of a young man.

"Get up."

Su Bai said lightly.

Shangguan Lao didn't know his identity, he just thought he was an envoy sent by the tree spirit.

After all, Shangguan Lao is just his disciple, and he is not a subordinate who can occasionally know the secrets.

I just don’t know if Shangguan Lao has any other ideas?

But it doesn't matter. If Shangguan Lao really wants to betray, other tree spirits will know about it immediately, and there will be no chance at all.

"Shangguannao, during this period, you should find out all the forces in Fengyang City and know who is the obstacle to the promotion of faith?" Su Bai asked.

Before, the tree spirit had given him a task, which was to ask him to do his best to find out about other forces in Fengyang City.

After all, the entire Fengyang City is very big.

There are ten first-class forces alone, that is, families with innate warriors.

Then there are some top families with innate mid-level families.

As for the peak Xiantian, there were two or three families who were hiding, so Su Bai asked him to investigate clearly.

After all, this is Fengyang City, and Su Bai can't use many methods here.

For example, the affiliated legions under Su Bai's command cannot come at all, at least not openly. The fourth-level ferocious beasts go out to the outskirts of the Huangshen Mountains. King Teng may turn a blind eye or close an eye, but if he wants to bring the fourth-level beasts to the outside, he may turn a blind eye.

The vicious beast was brought to Fengyang City.

And, fight.

It will definitely alarm the Vine King, and it will be difficult to deal with it then.

That's why Su Bai let his puppet and his six divine punishment team members come here.

"Lord Divine Envoy, in the past three months, I have used all means to investigate the entire Fengyang City.

There are a total of ten major forces in Fengyang City, and most of them are unpopular families, at most in the early Xiantian stage, but there are three families worth noting.

They are the Zhao family, the Weapon Pavilion, and the Su family.

These three major forces are the three strongest top powers. Each family has at least one innate peak, and the Su family even has two innate peaks.

However, these three forces are extremely hostile.

In addition, with the prestige of my city lord's palace, they don't dare to disobey me on weekdays.

But this time it is not so easy to promote faith, because to become a top family, they have records of the path of faith, and they know that becoming a believer will harm their interests.

If I promote my faith, I will definitely be in conflict with them.

Shangguan Lao said slowly, and at the same time he opened the map on the table in front of him. It showed the distribution of Fengyang City, and the ten major families and the three major forces were distributed on it.

Among them, the three most powerful families occupy almost 60% of the area.

"what are these?"

Su Bai looked at the blue chess pieces, there were about one-fifth of them.

"These are the forces directly under me. After all, I am the city lord. Although I cannot collude with other forces on the surface, I have secretly bribed three first-class forces, and there are also some other forces that have transactions with me." Shangguan Lao explained.

.

"Why can't we collude with each other? Is it because someone above is in charge?" Su Bai was very curious.

Last time, it was the Shangguan family who came.

Moreover, according to Shangguan Lao, the position of the city lord of Fengyang City was sold to him by his father.

In other words, there are people above the general city lord.

Is it Kantian County?

"Is Kantian County the largest existence? Are there others that govern it?" Su Bai was very curious.

"Master Shushen, Kantian County is only one of the six major counties in Qingyun Kingdom." Shangguan Lao said truthfully.

"Qingyun Kingdom?"

Su Bai couldn't help but be shocked. What a huge country it was. Just one county managed dozens of cities, and each city had a jurisdiction of five to six hundred miles.

So, does this mean that all of this has official implications?

The city lord and even the princess are all given by the official.

Su Bai explained his doubts.

"Master Divine Envoy, as you have guessed, the six major counties are indeed under the jurisdiction of the royal family of Qingyun Kingdom, but except for Qingyun County, the other five major counties have great autonomy.

We, the city lords, were all given by the princess of Kantian County.

Moreover, after I become the city lord, I have great rights and can appoint other positions in Fengyang City at will. This is also one of the benefits of the edge city." Shangguan Lao replied.

"So that's the case. No wonder these forces don't dare to offend the city lord. It turns out that the highest lord of Kantian County serves as a guarantee."

Su Bai showed a smile.

Since there is this relationship, the power of faith can be easily promoted.
