Chapter 1612: Chapter 1614: Plastic Surgery
He Long’s words were useless; he babbled and rushed into his new position.
Probably the most aggrieved City Lord ever, facing life-and-death issues immediately upon taking office.
"City Lord, shall I change the name of the city now?" a servant spoke up.
The Deputy City Lord kicked him to the side: "What the hell are you talking about at a time like this."
The servant squatted to one side, looking aggrieved.
He Long looked at him but said nothing—serves you right! I don’t even know how long I’ll be in this position, the final name change is uncertain!
"City Lord, please make your decision!" The Deputy City Lord raised his hand, making a pretentious gesture of respect.
"What’s there to decide? Either wait for death or seek outside assistance." He Long decided to risk it all, doing whatever comes to mind. The opponent surely isn’t foolish, they won’t be targeting just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like me.
"Alright, let’s get to it!"
The Deputy City Lord wasted no words, took off, and headed straight west.
Judging by direction, he was heading towards Hengqin City.
It’s been mentioned before, the people of this place have a sense of belonging to the city, somewhat similar to our Heavenly Dynasty’s sense of dependence on home.
Maybe, perhaps it’s something passed on from the Heavenly Dynasty.
So, there’s no need to worry about him running off and not returning.
He will definitely be back.
Just as the Deputy City Lord left.
Lu Xiaobu came along with his group.
Wow, the people of Quwu City were startled at first sight, thinking—sure enough, they came!
However, since those who came were people with good relations before, like Hu Nanshan, Qi Jiatong, Liu Funing, and others.
Hence, since they hadn’t spoken to bite yet, it wouldn’t be right to start fighting!
What if Bi Helai talked nonsense?
Besides, the Deputy City Lord’s side needs time.
So.
He Long stepped up on his flying sword to greet them.
"Gentlemen, what’s the purpose of your visit?" He Long said with a wide smile.
His father just died, possibly at the hands of these gentlemen, yet he had to smile here. Who can you reason with?
"He Long." Hu Nanshan and others recognized him, seeing him come to greet them, they frowned: "Are you the City Lord now?"
"Eh, Uncle Nanshan, the folks in the city respected me." He Long nodded and said.
"Oh." Hu Nanshan nodded, remaining silent, and looked towards Lu Xiaobu.
They wanted to see what Lu Xiaobu would do.
To kill or what?
He Long noticed these people all focused their eyes on Lu Xiaobu and was puzzled.
This young fellow, why are these Golden Core late-stage powerhouses all looking at him?
He seems younger than them; you say this young man is some Golden Core stage monster, and he wouldn’t believe it.
He estimates he’s at most a Foundation Establishment stage; isn’t he just controlling objects beneath his feet? The weapon looks odd—a giant double bed!
So he felt the Golden Core stage looking at Lu Xiaobu wasn’t quite fitting.
You look at him; the Young City Lord wasn’t even taken seriously before.
In the Cultivation World, it’s the strongest who speaks!
"Are you the City Lord?"
Lu Xiaobu furrowed his brow, sensing difficulty in handling the situation.
Why?
If a strong individual were the City Lord, he could easily control them.
No problem with the opponent suppressing the city.
But now, a Foundation Establishment kid is the City Lord. If he takes this guy down, the city might replace him tomorrow.
"Do you have a problem?"
He Long’s tone instinctively changed.
Though he knew this individual wasn’t simple.
However, the thought of respecting power has been embedded in him for ages; Foundation Establishment is Foundation Establishment, a young kid is a young kid, I’m still the City Lord, why should I fear him?
After that loud statement, Lu Xiaobu swung an open-handed slap.
He Long tried to dodge.
How could he escape?
The slap landed on his face, five finger marks clearly visible.
His cheekbone even got flattened.
"Did you hit me?!"
He Long was stunned.
Is this how it’s done?
I only talked a bit carelessly, and you slapped me?
Even Golden Core late-stage wouldn’t be this rude!
True, true, he wouldn’t dare, if he dared say something like this to Hu Nanshan, it wouldn’t just be a slap.
"Young Master, is this..."
Liu Funing asked.
Seeing this seems like it’s leading directly to action?
Are we not discussing it and capturing a few comrades?
"You already know, right." Lu Xiaobu looked at He Long.
He Long held his mouth, enduring the pain, leaking air: "The Five Gates know about the gods and demons?"
Just what did we know, getting slapped made it hard to speak.
"Aware of our purpose, aware of our intention, you’re prepared." Lu Xiaobu said lightly: "Alright, there’s no need to remain below, come up now."
As soon as he finished speaking, three people emerged from the ground.
One was the previously mentioned principal—Ding Leiwu.
The other two were Golden Core early stage.
Hu Nanshan and others knew them, both being Generals of the City Guard Army, now watching them with wary eyes.
"How did you know?" Ding Leiwu looked at Lu Xiaobu suspiciously and asked.
This asked how he knew what they knew.
It’s a bit confusing.
"If unaware, would you let something like him be the City Lord?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes: "Treating everyone else like idiots?"
"What do you mean!" He Long was displeased; what’s this ’thing’?
"Smack!"
Another slap from the other side.
Well, saved him the plastic surgery; perfectly sharp chin that could stab himself when he looked down.
Besides, he stopped talking.
Couldn’t open his mouth, what could he say!
"This person acts very domineering!"
Ding Leiwu’s face turned ugly.
No matter how useless He Long is, he’s now their City Lord, hitting him is hitting the face of Quwu City!
He Helai was naturally also a person of Quwu City!
Hu Nanshan and others sneered.
Domineering?
This is just the beginning!
Ding Leiwu saw Lu Xiaobu ignoring him and turned to Hu Nanshan and others: "City Lords, what’s going on? We were clearly allies for defense! Especially City Lord Nanshan, our City Lord was invited by you, how did he end up dead? Wouldn’t it be appropriate to give us an explanation?!"
"Explanation?"
Hu Nanshan sneered.
"What do you mean?!"
Ding Leiwu was baffled.
Hu Nanshan ignored him.
The meaning was simple, you ask me for an explanation, who explains to me?
Seriously, if I had transparent tape, I’d smash it on your face.
Ahem, digressing.
That’s the point.
Right now, Lu Xiaobu was figuring things out on how to handle this.
He needed to take over Quwu City smoothly, couldn’t say deal with it and then still needed to tidy things up himself; too troublesome.
"Don’t you have a Deputy City Lord or something?" Lu Xiaobu asked.
"Yes! That’s me!"
The Deputy City Lord returned, followed by a large group!
