Silence!
The entire square of Green Sun City was deathly silent. After killing 20,000 people, the entire world had gone silent.
At this moment, no one spoke. They couldn't say anything at all. They all looked at the terrifying scene in front of them with terror in the depths of their eyes.
Twenty thousand people, a full twenty thousand elite soldiers!
In just a few breaths of time, they had all been slaughtered, not a single one left.
The two generals who had led the clamor and boasted that they were brave generals had died the most miserable deaths. They had been cut into hundreds of pieces. Even being dismembered by horses wouldn't be so miserable. It was as if they had been chopped into pieces.
Even though they were elites of Green Sun City and had fought against the Nether Ghost Giant Monsters before, they had never seen such a scene.
The thick smell of blood in the square almost made them vomit, but no one dared to make a sound. They were afraid that they would provoke the fiend on the platform and be killed.
Previously, they had thought that Xia Ping was joking and didn't have the courage to do so. But no one thought that Xia Ping was joking. The lives of 20,000 people were right in front of them. This was an iron-clad fact.
"Since we're in this world, we have to be trustworthy. If I say I'll kill your entire family, I'll kill your entire family. Tell me, is there anyone else who isn't convinced? Jump out and I'll immediately kill your entire family. "
Xia Ping's expression was very calm as he swept his gaze over every soldier in the square. He wanted to know who else was unconvinced.
These people thought that they were the elites of Green Sun City, so he didn't dare to start a massacre.
But this was a joke. Even if the entire population of Green Sun City was added up, it would only be a few million. This amount of people couldn't even be considered a strand of hair in the entire universe.
Just the population he had plundered from the Southern Universe exceeded three trillion. If these people were placed in this city, a single spit from each of them would be enough to drown everyone in Green Sun City.
If the people of Green Sun City didn't know how to appreciate favors and dared to act recklessly, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he slaughtered them all.
The universe didn't have many things, but it did have many people.
A tyrant!
Without a doubt, this was a tyrant through and through. He didn't allow others to disobey him, and he held the power of life and death in his hands!
All the soldiers could feel the aura of supremacy coming from Xia Ping. This was different from the previous City Lord Gao Ansheng. This was a true ambitious and ruthless person who would do what he said.
Moreover, he looked down on all living beings and disregarded everything.
From the bottom of their hearts, they were unwilling to submit to such a tyrant.
But according to the tyrant's tone, if they didn't submit, they would have to die. 20,000 lives were placed right in front of them. This was killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Without a doubt, with this effect, Xia Ping's ruthless, domineering, and unreasonable image immediately rose in everyone's heart, and it was almost impossible to resist.
"Are you convinced?"
Xia Ping narrowed his eyes and emitted a terrifying murderous aura. The first to bear the brunt of it were the dozens of generals standing at the very front. They immediately felt as if they had fallen into a hell of slaughter.
With a plop, they knelt on the ground in fright.
"We're convinced. We're completely convinced."
"We are willing to recognize Lord Xia as our master. From today onwards, Lord Xia will be the City Lord of Qingyang City."
One by one, the generals knelt down to show their allegiance.
Even all the elites of the army below the square knelt on the ground, not daring to look Xia Ping in the eye. A seed of fear had been planted in their hearts, and they no longer had the slightest bit of courage.
"Very good."
Xia Ping stood with his hands behind his back. "From today onwards, I am the City Lord of Qingyang City. My words are the law, orders, and everything. Whoever dares to disobey will die."
"Yes, City Lord!"
Everyone roared out, afraid that they would be killed if they were to speak softly.
… …
An hour later, in the City Lord's Mansion of Qingyang City.
Xia Ping, the many generals of Qingyang City, and the many middle-level leaders who were still alive appeared in the conference room.
"Yes, today is my first day as the boss. You can say whatever you want. Anything that is beneficial to Qingyang City can be mentioned, and I will try my best to solve it." Xia Ping said casually.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first. After all, they could say whatever they wanted. If they really said something that would make the City Lord unhappy, they would be beheaded. Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger.
"Is there nothing you want to say? Since that's the case, let's end the meeting. "
After a while, no one spoke. Xia Ping waved his hand and was about to end the meeting.
"Wait, City Lord, this old man, Gu Bo, has something to say."
At this time, an old man wearing black armor stood up. He gave off an iron-blooded aura and was extremely strong. He was two meters tall and looked like a bear.
The surrounding people were all extremely nervous, because this elder was of noble character and great prestige. Originally, he should have become an elder, but because of his upright and plainspoken nature, he offended the City Lord, and as a result, he was sent down. After working for several decades, killing countless demons and Dark Ghosts, he was still only a general, unable to become a commander.
They were afraid that this old man would say something he shouldn't say and anger this tyrant. If that happened, they would suffer.
"Yes, what do you want to say?"
Xia Ping said.
The old man Gu Bo stared at Xia Ping and said, "If it was Sir Xia who killed the original City Lord, you should know that some of the elders and even the City Lord of Green Sun City have been possessed by the Dark Ghost. There are also some cowardly people who have become traitors and become Dark Ghost spies."
"I do know this, but from the looks of it, you also seem to know."
Xia Ping nodded.
Everyone present lowered their heads. They were not idiots, and with their high status, it was impossible for them not to notice something fishy.
But by the time they learned the truth, Green Sun City had long since become a nest of Dark Ghosts, invaded by countless Dark Ghosts. Even the City Lord was dead, and countless elders had joined the Dark Ghosts and become traitors.
What was done was done, and the Dark Ghosts had established their power. They were powerless to reverse the situation, so they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and not know anything.
"We do know, but we are not a match for the Dark Ghosts, so we can only endure this humiliation," the old man Gu Bo said helplessly.
"But if Lord Xia truly wants to revitalize Green Sun City and return peace to the human race, you must eliminate the Dark Ghosts still lurking in Green Sun City.
To tell you the truth, because the City Lord was possessed, many of the elders betrayed him, causing Green Sun City to be filled with Nether Ghosts. Once night falls, they go around committing evil and devouring humans, causing Green Sun City to be in a foul atmosphere with countless casualties. "
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.
"So that's how it is. This isn't a big problem. Just find these Dark Ghosts and kill them all," Xia Ping said indifferently.
In truth, this was also what he wanted to do. This was his territory, so how could he tolerate these Dark Ghosts acting so wantonly?
"Lord Xia, you absolutely cannot. Please reconsider."
A general immediately stepped forward. "These Dark Ghosts are traceless and invisible, and there are many of them. If we capture them with great fanfare, they will definitely go crazy and wreak havoc in the city. At that time, who knows how many civilians will die?"
