The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The moment Chi Miao spoke up about getting back to business, the air pressure seemed to drop several degrees in an instant, and Wenren Xiao stared intently at Chi Miao.

He exuded a low-pressure aura, an aura that seemed both threatening and warning.

He spoke in a cold voice: "Don't overstep your bounds when it comes to jurisdiction."

Chi Miao smiled and tilted her head: "Why do you feel like you're overreaching now? Didn't I tell you beforehand when we made the bet?"

"You can break the contract, but starting tomorrow, it won't be me looking for you; it will be the sect leaders of the ten major sects."

Chi Miao was equally determined and showed no sign of stopping.

Wenren Xiao remained silent for a long time.

The Heavenly Sword Sect elder standing nearby also became conflicted.

The jurisdiction over a city is no small matter; the interests and symbolic relationships involved are far too significant.

Each of the ten major sects governs a city, and the revenue generated by a single city is enormous, sometimes even becoming a major economic chain for a sect.

If there were no profit to be made in the city, the Heavenly Sword Sect would not have used the aristocratic families to exploit the city's people.

Furthermore, managing a city is also a symbol of power.

If the Heavenly Sword Sect loses control of Heavenly Sword City, it will inevitably become a laughing stock among all sects in the world.

The Heavenly Sword Sect naturally did not want to let go.

But if they don't let go, Chi Miao will notify the Tenth Meeting.

Given Chi Miao's current influence, the other nine major sects will definitely investigate to the end.

If anything is found out, the consequences will only be more serious.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was unwittingly forced into a dilemma by Chi Miao.

After much internal discussion, Wenren Xiao finally gave Chi Miao a perfunctory reply: "Our Heavenly Sword Sect is out in the world, so naturally we can't hold a grudge against you kids for breaking the contract. However, according to our original agreement, we need to mobilize all the residents of the city and let them freely choose who they want to hand over jurisdiction to."

"We acknowledge that your idea is good, but it's already very late. Mobilizing the entire city is extremely difficult, and we also need to consider how the residents will choose and how to conduct the surveys. These are all very challenging matters. So... perhaps we could discuss everything again later?"

They want to buy time.

They thought that as long as they delayed as much as possible to alleviate the immediate crisis, they could find other excuses to gloss over the matter later and resolve everything.

But then, Chi Miao smiled.

With her hands behind her back and an innocent smile, she said, "The selection method and the statistical method are very simple. Just inform the people of Tianjian City about this, and let each household select a representative. Those who choose the Tianjiao Group will hold up the red object, and those who choose the Tianjian Sect will hold up the green object. In the end, we just see which color has more representatives."

"Isn't this something that's easy to see?"

Wenren Xiao was taken aback, then laughed and said, "This is ridiculous. Do you think spreading this kind of information is so easy? You're really dreaming..."

Before he could continue, Chi Miao interrupted, "We don't know if it's easy for you, but it's very easy for me."

"Uncle Wenren, why don't you step outside the Wan Jin Auction House and take a look around?"

Wenren Xiao was stunned by Chi Miao's words. Suddenly, something occurred to her, like a powerful spell exploding in her mind.

The other elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect also realized this.

"wrong!"

In an instant, the group from the Heavenly Sword Sect flew out of the Wan Jin Auction House at an extremely fast speed.

……

Tianjian City.

night.

Normally, the city would be very quiet at this time of year, with almost no one going out. Every household would try to minimize their presence to avoid attracting the attention of scions of powerful families who might then cause them trouble.

But today is completely different; it's incredibly lively...

When the members of the Heavenly Sword Sect rushed out of the Wan Jin Auction House, they landed in mid-air, and the scene in front of them made all of them shrink their pupils!

It was a sea of ​​red.

Do not!

It wasn't the ocean, but... a dense crowd standing in front of the Wan Jin Auction House, filling every empty street!

People stood shoulder to shoulder in support, their fervent desires and breaths stirring even the cold night!

They held the red object high.

Some were candles, some were lanterns, some were even just pretty pieces of mahogany, and some were fresh blood from a cut on a wrist!

When these thousands of different shades of red come together, the crowds, some tall and some short, make it look like a flowing red ocean at first glance!

It's blinding and scorching!

Occasionally a few patches of green will appear, but they will soon be submerged in a sea of ​​red.

Their voices were like a tsunami, towering high and forming a sound wave that reached the heavens!

"Give the people of Tianjian City justice!"

"A chance to restore peace and prosperity to the people of Tianjian City!"

"Give all one million residents of Tianjian City a chance to choose their lives again!"

"We need freedom! We need democracy! We don't need the power and oppression of aristocratic families! We are living, breathing human beings too! We don't want to live in fear anymore!"

"Whoever it is! Please re-establish jurisdiction! The Heavenly Sword Sect... is unworthy of its position!!!"

The cacophony of voices from the people was a jumbled mess.

At first, they hesitated, fearing that the Heavenly Sword Sect might be furious because of their rebellion, and also fearing that if the matter failed, the Heavenly Sword Sect would retaliate against them, the common people, even more severely.

They're not like those "gods"; they have no power!

Those "gods" can kill them like ants and plunge them into misery with a flick of their fingers.

They were afraid that if they failed this time, an even more terrifying disaster would follow!

Can……

Tonight, a group of people claiming to be from the Jin family visited every household in the city, informing each of them that there would be some very interesting scenes to watch tonight.

Outside the Wan Jin Auction House, on the side of every street.

The immortals used a recording stone that played a video of a group of spirited young men repeatedly humiliating the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Although they do not possess great power, they are adept at reading people and situations.

They could tell that the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect were wary of the group of teenagers.

It's also clear that those teenagers have always been fighting for the interests of the people of Tianjian City.

They could tell that the group of teenagers were not ordinary teenagers.

And leading the pack is none other than the goddess who is all the talk of the day—pure, beautiful, kind, gentle, loving, and virtuous, with countless merits.

The goddess was dressed even more sacredly tonight, as if she had come down from heaven to save them from fire and water.

Her every glance and smile exuded elegance.

Her performance throughout the night was like a perfect show, making them believe one after another.

If it were her, she might actually be able to do it.
