Hearing this, the twenty generals glanced at each other. They could all see that the others were not of the same mind.
Some were silent. They were wily old foxes and could not see how the situation was developing. They did not know Xia Ping's strength, so they did not say anything. They wanted to see what the others would do, determined not to stand out.
Some had good impressions of Xia Ping because they knew a bit of the truth. They knew that there was something fishy about the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord might have been possessed by a Dark Ghost, and all of Green Sun City had become a breeding ground for Dark Ghosts. The humans were living a life worse than death.
Perhaps it was a good thing that Xia Ping had killed these human vermin.
But there were also some people with wild ambitions. They believed that the City Lord and many of the upper echelon members were dead. They had worked hard and commanded an army, so there was no reason for them to submit.
Among them were the City Lord's own troops. They were loyal to the City Lord, so they naturally would not listen to the orders of this unknown person.
Three or four generals immediately stepped forward, disdainful smiles on their faces.
"Sir Xia, we respect you, but we also believe that you are going too far in wanting to become the City Lord of Green Sun City," a black-robed general said.
"To tell the truth, let's not talk about whether your words are true or not. Even if they are true, the City Lord has sided with Dark Ghost and many of his elders are traitors who were killed by you.
But the position of City Lord of Green Sun City is a great responsibility and can only be chosen from us generals. Even if it isn't us, it has to be a resident of Green Sun City. It cannot be someone like you, who has never met before and who has come to Green Sun City for the first time. "
He made his stance clear.
"That's right. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become the City Lord of Green Sun City."
"Just because of your words, you want to become the City Lord of Green Sun City? You are delusional."
"To put it bluntly, we old residents of Green Sun City have worked hard and performed great deeds. Even if we lined up, it would not be your turn."
Many of the generals sneered, feeling that Xia Ping was not suitable to become the City Lord of Green Sun City.
"Generals, why waste words with this person with ulterior motives?"
Gao Ding angrily roared, "Saying that the City Lord has sided with Dark Ghost and is a spy for the humans is utter nonsense! It was clearly him who coveted the position of City Lord and set up a scheme to kill the City Lord and the others.
The murderer who killed the City Lord should be immediately arrested and brought to justice. He should be completely eliminated to avenge the City Lord. Why should we talk to the murderer who killed the City Lord? "
He looked at Xia Ping with a vicious and murderous look in his eyes.
Gao Ding's hatred was monstrous. City Lord Gao Ansheng was dead, and he had lost his greatest backer. In the future, his life in Qingyang City would be difficult, and he would no longer be able to act like a tyrant.
It was not hard to imagine that his hatred towards Xia Ping could not be washed away.
At this point, Gao Ding paused and continued, "I will only say a few words of fairness here. Now that the City Lord is dead, the dragons are without a leader. As the saying goes, a snake can't do anything without a head, and a bird can't fly without wings. We must choose a City Lord.
All the generals here have worked hard for Qingyang City, and there is no distinction between them. It will be very difficult to choose a City Lord, but now, there is a standard.
That is, whoever kills the City Lord's murderer will be the next City Lord of Qingyang City. Otherwise, how can the brothers of Qingyang City accept him? "
He was trying to sow dissension, aiming it at Xia Ping.
Hearing these words, the generals present were tempted. If Xia Ping was killed, no one would dare oppose them becoming City Lords of Qingyang City.
Seeing these generals tempted, Gao Ding became arrogant. So what if you're strong in martial arts? In the end, this world relied on brains. A few words could kill you.
He could almost see Xia Ping being caught by the crowd and hacked to death.
"Everyone."
Gao Ding planned to strike while the iron was hot and continue to sow dissension.
"You're too noisy."
Xia Ping expressionlessly raised a finger.
A second later, Gao Ding's head was pierced through and exploded like a watermelon. Before he died, he didn't even know how he had died.
The people around him jumped in fright. Blood splattered on them.
"Audacious! Too audacious! This is the Green Sun City. How can a murderer like you do as he pleases in this place? As expected, none of your words are true. Saying that the City Lord is Dark Ghost's lackey is a joke. Perhaps you are the real Dark Ghost's lackey and colluded with Dark Ghost to kill the City Lord and the others. "
A general in black roared.
Dong!
Xia Ping didn't even look. With a light flick of his finger, a terrifying force exploded out and bombarded the general.
The general was immediately smashed into pieces of flesh. A huge crater appeared where he had been, with hundreds of cracks. Dust billowed and gravel flew in all directions.
Everyone was silent. This was a general in the early stage of the True Fire Realm, but he had been killed by a single finger and exploded on the spot?!
"I think you might have misunderstood something."
Xia Ping stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the crowd. "I didn't come here to make friends with you. You only have one choice now: submit or die!"
His body exuded a terrifying aura, like an insurmountable mountain that pressed down on everyone's hearts.
At this moment, all of Qingyang City was trembling. Every resident seemed to feel an enormous pressure on their shoulders, and even breathing became difficult.
"Xia Gou!"
A tall general jumped out. He was a trusted aide of the City Lord's troops. He shouted angrily, "I've roamed the battlefield for fifty years, fighting against the Giant Dark Ghost Demons. What haven't I seen? You think you can scare me? If you have the guts, come and kill me. It's impossible for me to submit. My brothers in the troops will never agree."
He made it clear that he would never submit.
"That's right. A bastard from who knows where wants us to submit? What a joke."
"We didn't even submit to the threat of the Giant Dark Ghost Demons. You think we'll submit just because you threaten us?!"
"Stop dreaming. You're not qualified to be the City Lord of Qingyang City. Get out of Qingyang City immediately."
The soldiers under his banner all shouted angrily. There were at least ten thousand of them, and they all supported their generals. They would never submit.
"That's right. I don't believe that with so many of us here, what can you do to us? Our troops also support you. We will never let this unknown person be our City Lord. "
Another general led his troops and stood up. He would advance and retreat with the other party. He didn't believe that with 20,000 troops opposing him, this kid could do anything.
"Very well. If you don't submit, then die. Xiao Jin, shoot them."
Xia Ping waved his hand lightly.
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Golden Slime appeared instantly, turning into countless sharp blades that shot out from the ground. In an instant, these sharp blades pierced the bodies of two soldiers, tearing them apart on the spot. Blood flowed everywhere.
