Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 67 I Choose You as the Gang Leader

"Miss Gu, won't this completely enrage them?"

"It doesn't seem to make any sense?"

The teahouses on the streets of Xicheng were deserted, perhaps because the owners had left in such a hurry that they forgot to close the doors.

Three figures quietly walked inside.

Gu Nanzhi was dressed in black robes, with a purple dragon treading on waves embroidered on the lapel. The precious sword that usually sat on the table was now worn at her waist.

The speaker was a man in his prime, and next to him was a short, elderly man.

Both men were once chief constables in the yamen. After retiring, they were hired as retainers, responsible for training constables and maintaining security in Blackwater City.

There was a hint of apprehension in their eyes.

Given the current strength of the government, if it were to confront the Blackwater Gang head-on, it would be impossible to achieve the desired effect of rapid suppression. If a stalemate were to occur, the entire city would likely suffer.

But the man only asked.

After all, the county magistrate had already proven her abilities over the past ten years.

Despite the current chaos in Blackwater City, where the people seem to be living in misery and many are even struggling to survive, the city is in a state of utter chaos.

If it weren't for Gu Nanzhi overseeing the county government and striving to maintain balance, the city would probably only have 30% of its population left, and living in such a difficult situation would be a luxury.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to scare them a little." Gu Nanzhi walked to the counter and poured herself a glass of water.

"Trying to scare us?" The two fell silent, instinctively looking out the window.

In fact, they had already guessed that their visit today was less about intimidating the Blackwater Gang and more about protecting someone.

The short old man sighed; he didn't think there was anyone in the city worth the government taking the risk for.

But considering Miss Gu's hard work and contributions over the years, let's go along with her this once.

'

Gu Nanzhi took a sip of the refreshingly cool water.

The complexity in her eyes gradually transformed into determination.

Your own judgment is never wrong.

Whether it's the array formation in the broken wood courtyard, or Lin Shu's astonishingly solid cultivation foundation, his entire being exudes such pure immortal aura, and his methods are so powerful that they can crush cultivators of the same realm.

As such.

All of this proves that there must be a deity behind this young man, and that this deity values ​​him highly.

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, a hint of envy appeared on the woman's delicate face.

For the people and cultivators of Blackwater City, the ten-year lockdown was like a desperate prison.

But it certainly can't contain that immortal descendant in the city. Even if he's still in his infancy, he's far beyond what an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator can match.

There must be another reason why He didn't leave.

Perhaps this immortal descendant had just taken on a disciple when he noticed the anomaly of this place and then used it as a test for his disciple.

The period of lockdown coincided perfectly with the time it took for the young man to progress from his initial glimpse into cultivation to successfully reaching the pinnacle of Qi Refining.

This kind of thing is all too common in Yongzhou.

After all, disciples of immortals not only need cultivation, but also need to hone their character and combat skills.

Otherwise, how can we explain how Lin Shu, who had been unknown all along, suddenly rose to fame in less than a month?

They were clearly ready and prepared to start the challenge.

"If we stay trapped like this forever, when will it ever end?"

Gu Nanzhi murmured with emotion, drawing puzzled glances from the two worshippers beside her.

She shook her head slightly, but did not relax.

Even if the Immortal Descendant intends to use Blackwater City as the initiation trial for his disciples, it's only to see if Lin Shu can break through; it doesn't mean he cares about the other lives in the city.

Gu Nanzhi knew the nature of these immortals all too well.

That's why she wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor, hoping that the immortal descendant would pay some attention to the government's attitude.

If the other party is in a good mood and willing to help, the people of the entire city may regain their freedom!

"Report back to the county magistrate! They've dispersed!"

A constable named Zijiao rushed in, his face beaming with joy. But then he remembered the ferocious wolf that the county magistrate had deliberately instructed him to keep an eye on, and he paused for a moment: "But the person you mentioned seems to be in a rather unpleasant situation—"

"Hmm?" Gu Nanzhi suddenly frowned and looked over.

That's impossible. Even if Xia Mingtang is dead, the Blackwater Gang's attention will have to be focused on the government for the time being.

Moreover, given his aggressive provocation, even if the Mountain Dragon is stupid, it should be on guard.

At a time when manpower is scarce, how could he possibly give up on Lin Shu, such a ruthless and fierce wolf, just because of the temper of a pack of tigers?

"I heard that the two dragons had a conflict—and then he got involved. Now, from the leader to Tiger, everyone in the Blackwater Gang wants to kill him." Constable Purple Dragon said with a strange expression.

"hiss."

Gu Nanzhi put down her water glass, feeling a slight headache, and rubbed her temples.

Could it be that the test the immortals gave this kid wasn't how to escape Blackwater City, but how to cause the biggest disaster?

Heishui North City.

Centered around Chenlong Hall, the most luxurious courtyards all belong to Baihu Hall.

At this moment, the Xia residence was deserted. The alchemy furnace was still lying on the ground, and the courtyard was filled with chairs, but the servant boy had long since slipped away.

-

Cheng Yi stepped into the courtyard unhurriedly: "You should be able to see the murderous intent in that old man's eyes. Do you want to know why?"

Before the young man behind him could reply, he had already walked to the head seat, crossed his legs, and casually patted the hem of his clothes: "Because he was afraid I would replace him."

Having said that, a smile appeared on his lips as he quietly watched the figure below.

'

Lin Shu casually found a chair and sat down, a perfectly timed look of surprise flashing in her eyes: "He's the one?"

Cheng Yi was very satisfied with this person's performance. Although he tried to keep his expression calm, there was still a hint of smugness on his face: "The Blackwater Gang is something that I, as the third leader, call the shots. You are the fourth person to know about it."

"Of course, the reason why Daoshanlong didn't lash out directly is because he felt that I was just using you to warn him, and that I didn't really make such a hasty decision."

This outsider rubbed his fingertips together and said calmly, "But I have no interest in warning him anymore. I genuinely feel that his position—"

He sat up slightly, stared at Lin Shu, and his smile widened: "It's your turn to sit!"

'

'

Lin Shu didn't speak or get excited; her expression simply revealed a very natural skepticism.

I haven't encountered such a talkative person who's been holding back for so long.

You don't need to do anything proactively; just a little cooperation and the other party will reveal everything.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me."

Cheng Yi was not angered by the young man's questioning at all; on the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.

The exhilarating feeling of gradually revealing one's impressive background to a country bumpkin.

"All you need to know is that once you walk out that door, you have no other choice."

"Two old dragons want to kill you, the White Tiger Hall sees you as a thorn in their side, and the fierce wolves are jealous of you and covet your territory."

"But I think a small square street is not good enough for you. You should eat half of Blackwater City, or even the whole city."

""

The outsider's lips curled into a deeper smile, and he said meaningfully, "What do you think, Chief Lin?"

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow: "Take over Blackwater City? So far, it seems I've only gotten a taste of your empty promises."

"hehe."

Cheng Yi slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the stone steps: "You don't actually believe I'm from a poor, struggling medicine merchant family, do you, like those idiots?"

He looked down at them from his high vantage point, his voice slightly deep: "I have come from Yongzhou by imperial decree."

The moment the short sentence left his mouth, the dragon that crossed the river felt much more comfortable all over, as if his bones were making a cracking sound.

The last time I had this feeling was when I revealed my identity to the Mountain Dragon.

[”

'

A genuine light appeared in Lin Shu's eyes.

He gripped the armrest tightly with all five fingers.

The Filthy Moon Wolf Lord in his heart slowly opened his eyes, causing ripples to appear in his aura.

"No need to pretend to be calm, there are no outsiders here." Cheng Yi saw through the young man's attempt to suppress his emotions.

Compared to the mountain-crushing dragon's obeisance, the way the person in front of him was trying to restrain his emotions also pleased him.

"I have one more question." Lin Shu slowly loosened her fingers.

We now only know who is guarding Blackwater City for the Celestials, but the specific methods are still unclear.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, in a real fight, even with the blessing of the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord, he might not be able to defeat his opponent.

Don't be impatient.

After putting on such a hard performance, it's time to take the initiative and ask for a few words.

Lin Shu remained silent for a long time, seemingly struggling with her thoughts, before saying with a hint of wariness, "If you truly possess such an identity, why don't you become the gang leader yourself? Why should you simply hand over Blackwater City to me for nothing?"

'

'

Cheng Yi's expression suddenly became much more complicated.

For some reason, he always felt that every question this person asked hit the nail on the head.

It's as if they're paving the way specifically for their own showing off.
