The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 942 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

"Father, the city is busy with affairs, and my mother is poisoned. I'm afraid I can't spare much time to attend the City Lord Ceremony. Why not hold it today?"

Tang Yue bowed. She must resolve this matter today, otherwise something bad might happen.

Tang Wenhua's expression changed. "The succession ceremony of the young city lord is a big event. How can we rush it? Won't it make a fool of ourselves?"

Ancestor Gongbo knew what Tang Yue meant and said, "Since the winner has been decided and the position of Young City Lord has been decided, the ceremony is not important. We are cultivators and do not care about these worldly names. Let's hold it today."

Tang Wenhua was filled with resentment in his heart, but he said that he didn't care about worldly fame. Why are you still fighting for the position of young city lord?

What caught him most off guard was that this old ancestor, who had been indifferent to fame and fortune for many years, was involved in such a matter.

"But the things are not complete. The things I prepared for Tianshu a few days ago are all unusable."

Tang Yue said: "Don't worry, father. I'm ready."

When Yu Yuan gave her the Kunwu Order, she thought about the day when she would inherit the position of Young City Lord.

She absolutely could not let these things slow her down, so she asked the people of Kunlun to help her buy these things.

As a result, people on Tang Wenhua's side didn't know what she had done.

Before Tang Wenhua could react, he saw a group of people in dark blue clothes, holding things, walking towards the competition stage and setting up things around it.

Tang Yue said: "The Wangtiantai has been destroyed now, and we will rebuild it someday. The competition platform is in the center of Kunwu City, and it is also suitable as a place for the ceremony."

A man walked down to the stage and bowed to Tang Yue, "Miss, I brought everything."

He was wearing a golden belt, different from the others, and was obviously in charge.

"Thank you for your help, Manager Zhao." Tang Yue also bowed to him.

In less than a moment, red silk was spread on the high platform, and long bronze candles were lit on both sides of the altar. The smoke from the incense curled up, filling the air with a faint fragrance.

Tang Wenhua said coldly: "You are quite capable, relying on Kunlun Continent."

Tang Yue smiled, "Father usually loves my sister and values ​​Brother Chu Shi. I can't rely on him, so I have to find someone else to rely on."

In fact, her biggest backer is her grandfather, so saying this is just to put pressure on Tang Wenhua.

The other party looked annoyed and stopped talking.

It just so happened that the various forces that were watching the battle did not have time to leave, including Xuanyuan Mountain, Zixiao Mansion and others, who were attending the Young City Lord Ceremony at this time.

Tang Yue then sent people to invite monks from various government offices, sects, and aristocratic families.

There were more people attending the ceremony at this time than when Chu Tianshu hosted it, and Kunlun used better things to decorate it, making it seem even more grand.

Tang Wenhua and Chu Tianshu's group all looked unhappy, but they were surrounded and did not dare to get angry.

After the scene was arranged, although it was not luxurious, it was grand and solemn, which was very good for the succession ceremony of the young city lord.

Tang Yue used magic to change her clothes. She was now wearing a black robe and a jade crown. She stood on the newly built platform with a cold gaze and a calm expression.

She didn't care about the ceremony, but for the young master of Kunwu City, this ceremony was indispensable.

Grandmaster Gongbo said to Tang Wenhua: "Now that things have come to this, you should just pass the Kunwu Sword to A Yue and stop making excuses."

Previously, he wanted to pass on the Kunwu Sword, which symbolizes the position of city lord, to Chu Tianshu, and today he would naturally pass it on to Tang Yue as well.

Tang Wenhua suddenly felt that he was trapped in his own web. He took a deep breath and took out the Kunwu Sword from his storage bag.

He was afraid that the Kunwu Sword might be lost, so he had been wearing it with him these past few days.

Holding the "Kunwu Sword" which symbolizes the authority of the Lord of Kunwu City, he walked step by step to Tang Yue. Although his expression was serious, he could not hide the hatred and unwillingness in his eyes.

"Although today's ceremony of the succession of the Young Lord of Kunwu City is not as grand as in the past, it is also a major event in the inheritance of my Tang family." Tang Wenhua spoke loudly in a steady voice.

"Today I will hand over the sword of Kunwu City's inheritance to my second daughter, Tang Yue. From now on, she will serve as the young city lord of Kunwu City and shoulder the heavy responsibility of Kunwu City's future."

Tang Wenhua raised the Kunwu sword in his hand and signaled to everyone.

The sword was glowing with green light, and the blade was shining coldly. A coiled dragon was carved on the sword, which looked majestic and fierce, symbolizing the authority of the Lord of Kunwu City.

Tang Wenhua was unwilling, but he had no choice but to hand over the Kunwu Sword. Tang Yue calmly took the hilt, facing everyone, and raised the sword with both hands, the blade shining.

"I, Tang Yue, have taken over the Sword of Kunwu today and inherited the position of Young City Lord. I swear here that I will not let down the people of Kunwu City and my ancestors, protect the peace of Kunwu City, and spread the Kunwu Sword Dao."

Her voice was loud and clear, and it carried throughout the room.

Qionghua Pavilion, Baopu Pavilion, Shennong Pavilion, and the newly established Refining Equipment Pavilion all said in unison, "Congratulations to the Young City Lord for ascending the throne. We are willing to serve you and assist you in bringing glory to Kunwu and protecting the peace of the city."

But the cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion, Zixiao Mansion, and Taiping Mansion remained silent.

Ancestor Gongbo frowned. These people were not obedient to Tang Yue and might cause some trouble.

Tang Yue had expected this situation, and she remained calm as she clasped her fists to the crowd below the stage, "Thank you all for your help. To express my gratitude, I have prepared some small gifts, which I will send to your homes later. Please accept them."

After hearing what she said, the people of the city lord's faction became uncertain, wondering whether they would get any of these gifts.

They all knew that Tang Yue was very favored, good at business, and had many treasures on her, so the things she gave must be extraordinary.

Even if they didn't support Tang Yue, she would probably give them something in order to win their hearts, right?
Although they didn't care, since Tang Yue mentioned it, they felt they should have it.

After the city lord's people left, her adoptive father, Master Ruan, brought the people from Wuji Mountain to congratulate her.

The foster father said worriedly, "Brother Ruan and I will stay here for a while. If you get into trouble, we can still lend a hand. But the other elders of Wuji Mountain cannot stay here for long."

Tang Yue expressed her understanding. "Wuji Mountain is very busy. Being able to come here today to support me in ascending to the position of city lord and deter the scoundrels has already helped me a lot. If there is anything else, it is still not too late to write to Wuji Mountain."

After the ceremony, Tang Yue actually only gave gifts to those who supported him.

Moreover, these things are all top-grade items for cultivation, and are in line with the cultivation methods of various sects.

Baopu Pavilion made alchemy talismans and obtained precious alchemy books and talisman books, as well as excellent materials for making alchemy and talismans.

Shennong Hall obtained a large amount of medical skills and medicinal materials of excellent quality.

The same goes for other sects. The things they received can allow them to live a good life for three years and have a few more Jindan monks in their sect.

The people of the City Lord's Party were worried. Was Tang Yue young and ignorant of etiquette, or was he going to attack them?

They all went to find the city lord. After hearing this, Tang Wenhua smashed his teacup and said, "I'm not dead yet. How dare she attack my people?"

So he hinted to all the governments and departments to stay indoors, and most of the officials in Kunwu City stopped working, to see what she would do.

But in fact, Kunwu City’s finances have been closed down in Qionghua Pavilion, schools, mines, government offices, etc., and people’s livelihood will not be affected for the time being.

The more troublesome thing is that the Taiping Prefecture is closed and unable to maintain law and order in the city.

Tang Yue brought people directly to their door and told them that if they didn't want to do it, they should stop working. She took away the official seal and ordered the people from Qionghua Pavilion to reopen the Taiping Mansion Directorate.

When the Lord of Taiping Prefecture heard of her actions, he was horrified and rushed over to stop her, saying that the City Lord would be angry if she acted so recklessly.

Tang Yue asked, "Is it me or you who is reckless? Could my father do such a foolish thing and disregard the safety and laws of Kunwu City?"

The mansion lord was unable to answer for a moment, and she couldn't say yes either.

"If the Lord of Taiping Prefecture doesn't want to do it, let someone else do it." Tang Yue was merciless.

The mansion master was angry. How dare she humiliate him like this?
"I want to see what talent the young city lord has and whether he can solve the case in the city."

Tang Yue snorted coldly, "What a coincidence, when I went to the Heavenly Palace in the past, I got a treasure called the Illuminating Heart Mirror."

She conjured up a large mirror on the spot and stood it in the middle of the hall. Its entire body was like a crystal clear glass mirror, emitting a faint bluish-white light.

Sometimes, cloud patterns appear on the mirror surface, and sometimes, it presents a luster as calm as water, with a faint fairy-like air.

"If someone has a lawsuit, they can just walk in front of this mirror and the truth of right and wrong will be revealed one by one. It will illuminate people's hearts and help them distinguish right from wrong. Then the officials who are familiar with the laws of Kunwu City will decide the sentence."

She looked at the Taiping Mansion disciples who came with the Mansion Master and said, "With this mirror, it will be much easier to judge cases. Whoever is willing to be the judge, I will grant him the position of Mansion Master of Taiping Mansion."

Some people's eyes lit up, but they did not dare to step forward because of the mansion lord.

At this time, a Jindan cultivator walked out from the corner. He was dressed like a scholar and held a folding fan in his hand. "I am willing to share the worries of the young city lord."
