Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 92 Methods of Competing for the Position of City Lord

The Star-Eating Grass needs time to recover, and Gu Ce also needs to find a quiet place to verify his understanding of the laws. The feeling he gets from the Water Void Sacred Flame is different from that of the Ice Peak Chaos Stele, and it is more in line with the direction of the Beast God's Path.

The Ice Peak Chaos Monument, in the final analysis, is still primarily based on space.

"Okay, big brother," Yao Guangye nodded and said.

Qi Yunxian silently followed behind Yao Guangye. After eating the Silent Poison Fruit, although he was alive, he no longer had any freedom.

Although all of the Qi family's top combatants are dead, as long as he is still alive, there will be a day when he rises again!

"Yaoguang Ye, can you inherit the position of city lord of your Yaoguang main city?" Gu Ce suddenly asked on the way.

This startled Yao Guangye and Qi Yunxian so much that they broke out in a cold sweat.

"Big brother, my grandfather is still alive," Yao Guangye said, still shaken.

"To become the lord of the main city, one must first have the strength of at least the fifth level of the Realm Lord, and secondly, one must gain the approval of the Holy God. Generally, only the Holy God's capable subordinates or disciples can hold this position."

"However, there is another way," Yao Guangye said after thinking for a moment.

"The lord of the prefectural city is qualified to challenge the lord of the main city to a duel. The two sides fight to determine the winner, and the winner can directly inherit everything of the other side. If the prefectural city wins, it can choose to become the lord of the main city."

"If the lord of the main city wins, he usually demands that the prefectural city pay taxes for a certain number of years as tribute."

"Normally, the city lords of prefectural cities are only at the peak of the domain lord level or the low level of the realm lord level. Few people would choose to challenge the main city. However, in history, there have been some powerful realm lords who obtained the status of the main city lord through this."

"My lord!" Qi Yunxian's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Having roughly guessed what Gu Ce wanted, he began to offer suggestions.

"If you have to choose this option, I suggest choosing the city lord of Dulan!"

"The Dulan family excels at cultivating parasitic plants, though their own combat strength isn't particularly high. Furthermore, their combat rules allow parasitic plants to participate. Your parasitic plant is definitely far superior to the Dulan family's Blood Orchid Vine. If it were to be used, your chances of winning would increase significantly!"

Gu Ce gave Qi Yunxian an approving look.

OK!

The Star-Eating Grass is definitely not comparable to any of the plant life forms in the Seven Flames Palace. Once the Star-Eating Grass recovers and advances a few more levels, it will be fully capable of competing for the position of the main city lord!

"reward!"

Gu Ce casually tossed out a fruit of life.

"Thank you very much, sir!" Qi Yunxian said sincerely.

"Brother, once I arrive in Tianyan City, I will hand over the position of city lord to you," Yao Guangye said, swallowing hard.

"No." Unexpectedly, Gu Ce refused.

"You should continue to be the city lord, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the main city of Yao Guang. Qi Yunxian, you will go back to the main city of Yao Guang and be responsible for transmitting intelligence. See if you can find any information about the Holy Pillar Trial. By the way, you can also look for the antidote for the Silent Poison Fruit," Gu Ce said with a smile.

"Don't worry, sir, I will absolutely not leak your information!" Qi Yunxian felt a chill run down her spine and immediately said.

"Work hard, and you won't be treated unfairly." Gu Ce patted Qi Yunxian on the shoulder.

Originally, I planned to use Yao Guangye's status as the city lord of the prefecture to collect Fire Coins to buy Holy Flame Flames, but I didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

Trial of the Holy Pillars!

……

Tianyan Prefecture City is located on the southwestern border of Yaoguang Main City, near Puyang Main City.

Within the city of Tianyan Prefecture.

A restaurant with luxurious yet understated decor.

Several people are gathered here.

"Old Yan, have you found out who the new city lord is?" a middle-aged man asked.

Elder Yan shook his head slightly: "I have no way of knowing the identity of the city lord who was directly parachuted in from the main city, but he is most likely a member of the Yao Guang family."

"This new city lord, does he have such a powerful background?" a woman asked, frowning.

"Mr. Yan, are you sure?" the middle-aged man asked at the beginning.

Old Master Yan shook his head: "I'm not sure. My Yan family will withdraw from this competition for the position of city lord."

"Whoosh!"

"Old Yan, are you resigning?" the middle-aged man asked in shock.

Old Master Yan is the most senior figure in Tianyan City. He may not be the strongest, but his reputation and prestige are unmatched in Tianyan City. Not to mention among the common people, he is the most respected figure even among the high-ranking officials and nobles!

"Hehe," Old Yan said helplessly.

"The Yao Guang family is small in number but powerful in influence. Every member is a precious treasure. Within the Yao Guang main city, who would dare to take the initiative to shake the Yao Guang family? Only those realm lords would dare to say that."

The scene was completely silent.

"Hmph, so what if he's from the Yao Guang family?" the middle-aged man said through gritted teeth. "What if he's not from the Yao Guang family? Regardless, the position of city lord has been vacant for so long, and our three families have been competing for it for so long; we can't just let it go to an outsider!"

"That's right," the woman agreed.

"Elder Yan, if your Yan family wants to withdraw, then so be it. I, Zhuo Liu, will not give up easily."

Old Master Yan sighed, "Do as you please, just don't involve me. My Yan family won't get involved in these things. We'll just go back to doing business honestly."

Old Yan strode away from the restaurant.

"Zhuo Liu, let's join forces. After eliminating this new city lord, our two families can then compete for the position of city lord," the middle-aged man said.

Zhuo Liu remained silent for a while.

"Okay, but if I fail to become the city lord, Third Brother Jiang, you must hand over the Jiang family's restaurant business to me," Zhuo Liu said.

"No problem," Jiang Laosan readily agreed.

Compared to the position of city lord, the restaurant business is nothing.

Zhuo Liu knew that his chances of becoming the city lord were slim, so he chose to back down. Of course, Jiang Laosan couldn't refuse to give him a way out.

……

"My lord, Tianyan City is just ahead," Gu Ce said respectfully from the side.

"That's right. After I, Yao Guangye, take over as city lord, I will appoint you as the commander of the Heavenly Guard!" Yao Guangye said.

On their way here, the two switched identities. Gu Ce changed into Yao Guangye's clothes, and with his Mirage Sea Secret Technique, it was relatively easy for him to deceive anyone below the Realm Lord level.

Next, Gu Ce will become the city lord of Tianyan City under the identity of Yao Guangye. After securing his position as city lord, he will wait for the Star-Eating Grass to recover, and hopefully, he can be promoted a few more levels.

Once the Star-Eating Grass reaches the required strength, you can challenge the city lord of Dulan City and then participate in the Holy Pillar Trial to obtain the Origin Fire Seed!

As for passing the Holy Pillar Trial and obtaining the complete Holy Flame, Gu Ce had also considered it.

Judging from the flames, the complete Holy Flame is something that only those at the King-level Immortal or higher can access. It is estimated that their understanding of the laws must be close to that of a Universe Venerable, which is equivalent to about 19 or 20 levels of the Heavenly Bridge.

It's hard.

Tianyan City is almost in sight.
