death

Chapter 527
Seeing the lack of response from those first-tier heavenly immortals in the courtyard, I was also beating drums in my heart.

But soon I had an idea and said: "My master Wang will come here to find me in a few days, but it is the same as today, he will first set up a barrier, only the people in this yard can see it. With his lineup, if he is lucky, he might have some chance..."

As soon as I said this, a middle-aged man with a first-level immortal walked out slowly and said, "I apply!"

I looked at the middle-aged man, his actual age should be around five or six hundred years old.

I nodded to him and said, "Say your name!"

The middle-aged man said: "Lu Zheng!"

He said very little, and he didn't want to say anything else. I was very happy to say that you have been admitted!
Of course he has passed the test of my intuition, and my intuition tells me that he will not do anything that will harm me, but will follow me faithfully.

Soon another one stood up. That man had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he was full of hostility. I knew at a glance that he was stained with a lot of blood, and there were many souls who died under his hands. I don't like innocent people who are killed indiscriminately. So even without asking the person's name, he said: "Sorry, you are not suitable for our City Lord's Mansion!"

When I said this, the monks present were stunned!

It was already too much for me to let the guardian of a first-level celestial being apply. Now that a person with the strength of a first-level celestial being applied for the job, I rejected it, and everyone felt even more inconceivable.

At the same time, my status as the guardian of the city lord's mansion can't help but be elevated a lot, because not all first-level immortals can do it.

Soon the only woman among the first-level immortals slowly raised herself up and said, "I also apply."

I've noticed her a long time ago, she is the youngest among several first-tier immortals, she is only about 200 years old, and her appearance is well maintained, she looks like she is only in her early twenties.

Generally, female cultivators pay great attention to their appearance, and usually practice the art of retaining the face first to remain youthful forever.

That female cultivator's appearance was quite attractive, and she didn't have any hostility on her body. Soon I realized that she didn't seem to have fled to the city of innocent crimes because of a crime, but a lady who wandered here!

Thinking of this, I asked, "Your name!"

The female cultivator said: "My name is Chen, and I come from Luohe Mountain in the east of the human race."

I nodded and said, "You have also been admitted!"

At this time, Nangong Xiong whispered to me: "Luoheshan is one of the four butterflies of the Human Race Ten Thousand Immortals League, the territory of Qiudie Lu Jingxuan. I think that Yinchen may have some connection with Qiudie!"

Hearing what Nangong Xiong said, I also immediately had this intuition, but my intuition told me that Yinchen would not do anything against me.

So I whispered to Nangong Yuzhang and said, "Since she said she came from Luohe Mountain, she probably didn't mean to hide it from us, so let's agree to her joining!"

After finishing speaking, I said to Yin Chen, "You have also been admitted!"

The next few first-level immortal cultivators probably got used to idleness and didn't want to be restrained, so they turned around and left, while the hostile first-level immortal monk just "hummed" at me and said: : "I don't even want to be a city lord in this broken place, let alone a guardian!"

After finishing speaking, the cultivator turned around and left quickly. He probably ran so fast because he was afraid that I would blame him for those words. It seemed that he would never return to the city of innocent crimes. That's fine, that murderous look People who soar to the sky, murderers are indispensable in the city of innocent crimes.

Those first-level immortals all dispersed, and so did the other monks.

Only Suan Xianqing, Nanli, and Aguye brought some people to stay here, and the three of them waited for the others to leave, making sure that there was no riot here, and then came to say goodbye to me.

After everyone left, I said to Lu Zheng and Yin Chen: "This city lord's mansion is very big. Except for the rooms of us, you can choose any other rooms. You can live in the one you want, and you can recruit some more. The people who cook and clean are here, you don’t have to do anything at ordinary times, you can practice with peace of mind, if you have any problems, you can come to me, if I can help you, I will definitely help you with all my strength.”

"By the way, having said so much, I haven't talked about your rewards yet. If you give you talisman jade, you must not be very rare. I don't know if you two have any special requirements?"

Lu Zheng said: "I don't have any requirements, this City Lord's Mansion has enough spiritual power, it's not bad to be able to practice here!"

Yin Chen hesitated for a while and said, "I don't have any special request, but I have a small favor and I need City Lord Chen to help me!"

I asked what was the matter.

Yin Chen said: "I sneaked out from Luohe Mountain. About half a month later, there will be two people with the strength of the second-level heavenly immortal to arrest me and go back. I hope that the Lord Chen can help me at that time."

I laughed and said, "That's easy to say. In this Utopia, the city lord should protect his subjects. Since you have come to this innocent city, I will not allow outsiders to arrest you!"

Yin Chen cupped her hands at me and said, "Then I don't have any other demands."

Nangong Yuzhang added another sentence: "Who are you Qiudie Lu Jingxuan?"

Yinchen said: "Qiudie is my adoptive mother, and I am her adopted daughter, but I don't want to do some things she asked me to do, so I escaped. I won't want to go back in a short time!"

I nodded, Yinchen was honest, and I didn't ask any more questions. When I was in the lower realm, I had a feud with Qiudie's subordinates. Will this time, because of Yinchen, let Qiudie Butterfly hates me even more?
When I was thinking this way, Na Yinchen was not polite, and went directly to find her own room.

Lu Zheng bowed his hands to me and asked me if I had any other arrangements.

I shook my head and said, "No, Fellow Daoist Lu can also go to rest!"

Only then did Lu Zheng leave.

Seeing the two leave, Hu Jiashu said: "You recruited two nursing homes of first-level angels, how can I be an official? I can't command them."

I said: "You not only have to command, you must command, you are someone I trust, if we want to gain a foothold here, it is necessary to have power here, tomorrow I will tell them about our power over each other relationship, if they are not convinced, I will fire them immediately!"

Hu Jiashu smiled and said, "Everything is up to your arrangement!"

After Hu Jiashu and Chai Min also left, Nangong Xiong took me a few steps towards the courtyard and said, "Tell me honestly, are you interested in that Yin Chen?"

I froze for a moment, then laughed out loud with a "poof" and said, "Don't be kidding, she's over 200 years old, older than my great-grandmother, and I'm crazy to still fall in love with her!"

Nangong Xie also smiled and said: "It seems that your concept has not changed. In the eyes of monks, the difference of one or two hundred years is actually not much. If you like it, I can give it to you." introduce."

I said: "OK!"

Nangong Xiong immediately changed his face and said, "Get lost!"

We were just bickering, and after we said a few words, we both looked at each other with a smile and then calmed down. There was already a certain kind of tacit understanding between me and Nangong Yuzhang, and this kind of tacit understanding made me fearful and reluctant.

I suddenly felt that I was going further and further down the path of a "scumbag" man.

Forget it, I'll try my best to control my feelings for Nangong.

Nangong Xiong probably knew what I was thinking, so he stopped talking, but looked at the sky and said: "It will be dark soon, and it will be another dark night. I don't know how many more nights like this we can spend together."

I still didn't speak, Nangong Xie said: "Okay, I'm leaving, you should practice hard, practice the skills that Wang Shengzun entrusted to you, but you still have to save Mai Xiaorou, don't worry, I I will do my best to help you, and after you rescue Mai Xiaorou, I will take the initiative to leave you and will not make things difficult for you, and I will be content to accompany you through this period of time before I rescue Mai Xiaorou!"

Hearing what Nangong Xiong said suddenly, I suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

Just when I was about to say something more, Nangong Xiong turned around and left, and she said as she walked, "I don't regret it!"

After finishing speaking, Nangong Xiong quickly disappeared from my sight, leaving me standing there blankly.

I know that every time I talk about this issue, Nangong Yuzhang hopes that I can make some changes in my attitude towards her, instead of silently choosing to side with Mai Xiaorou like today, but every time I will disappoint her.

But even so, Mai Xiaorou still said those three words - "No regrets".

Suddenly, I felt that it was not worth it for Nangong Yu.

When I was thinking about this, the remnant soul of the Snake King said in my consciousness: "Only Nangong girl knows whether it is worth it or not. You have no right to judge, but you, Chen Yu. With all due respect, Xiao Rou is not suitable for you. My relationship with the Mai family is very good, but I still have to say this!"

I said: "Anyway, let's talk about everything after I rescue Xiaorou. By the way, you just said that you are very close to the Mai family. Did you recall something?"

The remnant soul of the Snake King said: "It's just intermittent fragments, it's hard to tell now, I'll tell you when I fully recall it!"

I nodded.

Next, I didn't think about those things anymore, but started to practice the Dao Formation that Master Wang gave me, as well as the magical power of the formation of the Divine Fire Jue.

A dao formation, a formation, to put it bluntly, this is not a dao technique at all, but to exercise my understanding and control of dao formations and formations.

As for whether I can do what Master Wang said, counting moves in a second, counting moves in a row, I am not sure yet.

However, I must try my best to complete the practice within half a month, because after half a month, Qiu Die will have two subordinates who will come to catch Yinchen, and I will boast that I will help her resist!

Otherwise, my reputation as the city lord will be discredited!
