When everyone heard this, they were very surprised.r?a?            n?en?     ???

A moment later, Qiu Yunzi smiled and explained: "Fellow Daoist Du, you may have some misunderstandings about the position of the city lord. Take me and the guardians as an example. There is nothing to do on weekdays, let alone restraints. As long as you can maintain the order of the Star City, and complete several underground tasks of the Beiming Holy every year, of course, you don't need to do these things yourself, and you can hand them over to the people below to handle them."

Xue Zhi smiled at Du Fan and continued, "Fellow Daoist Du, I'm going to tell you that among the people who are responsible for the job in Xingcheng, low-level cultivators like the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages are indeed a bit busy and do not have much free time. However, it is different from the Golden Elixir stage and above. Often, you can get huge returns by paying a little. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the position, and the more this happens.

Let me tell you this, the people present in the hall are the masters of the city at this moment. You have seen how big the Star City is and how many creatures live in. Whether it is mortals or cultivators, all the wealth, value, labor they generate in the city, directly or indirectly, will eventually come to the city lord's mansion. In the Beiming Holy Land, there is no way to ignore the matters of the Eighteen Star City. Now you can imagine what the position of the City lord means, right?"

Du Fan nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand. In other words, except for the Holy Land of Beiming and Shang Cang, the city lord is respected and enjoys absolute power in the Star City. In theory, the whole city belongs to the city lord, but he cannot take the whole city for himself at once, otherwise the star city will be in chaos. What the city lord needs to do is to take his own people to gain the greatest benefit on the basis of maintaining the stability and balance of the Star City."

"What fellow Daoist Du said is so incisive, that's exactly what he meant!" Xue Zhi exclaimed.

Du Fan smiled faintly and asked, "But, what is the purpose of telling me these things?"

"It can be seen that Fellow Daoist Du is definitely a smart person, so I will no longer be kept in a silence." Qiu Yunzi took a deep breath and said seriously: "A few days ago, someone from the Holy Land of Beiming brought some instructions. One of them was to let me step down as the city lord within three months, supervise the selection of the next city lord, and then rush to the holy land to enter the Beiming family. The next city lord in this city, I think Fellow Daoist Du is a good candidate."

"Isn't City Lord Qiu joking?" Du Fan was surprised.

"Haha, I am the lord of a city, how could I joke about this matter?" Qiu Yunzi said with a smile.

"If it's not a joke, why is that?"

"If someone else came to be the city lord, he would have to place his relatives, friends and others in the important position of Xingcheng City to replace the old people. In this city, there are many old brothers like Xue Guardian who have followed me for many years. I really don't want to see the desolate scene of the emperor and the ministers of the day. However, if fellow Daoist Du takes the position of the city lord, there would be no such concern.

Of course, Fellow Daoist Du is amazing and is qualified to be the city lord. This is a prerequisite." Qiu Yunzi said.

Du Fan glanced at Xue and Qin and said to Qiu Yunzi: "Fellow Daoist Xue and fellow Daoist Qin have reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and they are also very strong. Why didn't City Lord Qiu leave the candidate for the next City Lord to them? Wouldn't this be even more worry-free?"

After hearing Du Fan say this, Xue and Qin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm ashamed to say that with Xue's ability, he is still far from the city lord's standard." Xue Zhi waved his hand quickly.

Qin Zeyan said: "Fellow Daoist Du may not know that most of the eighteen city lords in the extreme north are the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage. Although there are some late-stage Nascent Soul Stage, all of them are well-educated and have good merits and creations, and their combat power is far from the same level. Although Qin is conceited, he is still far inferior to them. With the ability of Brother Xue and I, at most, we can serve as the guardian of the city lord. As for the position of the city lord, we still know ourselves and don't dare to covet it."

Qiu Yunzi's eyes flashed and said at the right time: "As long as Fellow Daoist Du is willing to agree, after you succeed as the city lord of this city, if you do not change the positions of these old brothers, I will guarantee Fellow Daoist Du to the next city lord of this city!"

Du Fan nodded, then showed a strange smile and said to Qiu Yunzi: "Since you are talking about it in a clear way, then Du has been blunt. But after all, what Du said is purely a matter of matter. If there is something offended in his words, I hope you will forgive me."

"Fellow Daoist Du doesn't have to worry, please tell me." Qiu Yunzi spoke, with a solemn expression on his face.

"To be honest, I am quite confident in my strength. If there is no accident, it will be a problem to be the Lord of Star City... But if I want to sit in the position of the Lord of the City, I can fight for it myself. Why do I need to negotiate with you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall frowned.

Du Fan smiled and continued, "In this extreme north, due to years of hard work, Du does not have relatives and friends. However, if a vacancies like the Star City Guardian, no Nascent Soul Power will not be moved. Assuming that the next city lord of this city is Du, then as long as I make a little noise, there will definitely be many Nascent Soul Powers who are prepared with all kinds of treasures and treasures to come to me, right?"

Qiu Yunzi stared at Du Fan a little, then suddenly slapped his thigh and smiled, "Haha, we understand what Fellow Daoist Du means. In fact, we didn't intend to take advantage of Fellow Daoist Du in this matter.

During my reign, I have had a lot of good things in stock in the mansion, and I have the right to sweep away the treasures in stock before leaving office. In fact, this is what the other star city lords did. However, for the sake of these old brothers who have followed me for many years, I decided to take away only 70% of the stock and the remaining 30% were handed over to fellow Daoist Du. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Du wanted to do about this?"

"It sounds good, but I suddenly became interested in the treasury of your mansion. Can Lord Qiu take him to see it?" Du Fan held his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and said like this.

"Of course there is no problem."

...

In the evening, Du Fan returned to the courtyard of the city lord's mansion again.

Several hours ago, accompanied by a group of powerful Nascent Soul powers, Du Fan saw the rumored treasury of the city lord's mansion. Although he had also seen the world, when he suddenly witnessed all kinds of treasures piled up like mountains, he couldn't help but take a breath and was really shocked by the scene in front of him.

The subsequent matters were easy to handle. Du Fan agreed to take on the position of city lord and promised that the positions of the Nascent Soul monks in this city would not change.

The next cultivation event of this city is held in advance, and the time is set to be a year later. At that time, all the heroes of the world will gather here to stage a stunning battle for the city lords. (To be continued...)
