"No, I absolutely will not allow this to happen. How can we let those damned Dark Ghosts and demons destroy our home again?!" A general gritted his teeth.
They had only had a few good years, and now those Dark Ghosts and demons wanted to destroy their home again. They wanted to destroy their final resting place, kill and eat all the people they valued.
He absolutely would not allow something as absurd as this to happen again.
"How can it not happen? We're doomed. We can't stop it."
A general despaired, feeling that the end of the human race had come. No matter what they did, it would be useless. They could only wait for death.
"Right, where is the City Lord? Where did the City Lord go? If the City Lord takes action, he might be able to stop those terrifying Dark Ghosts and demons," a general suddenly said.
Many people were tempted.
Many people were tempted. In fact, they had just joined the Qingyang City in the past few years, so they naturally knew about the mysterious City Lord of the Qingyang City.
It was precisely because of this mysterious City Lord that he had established Green Sun City and set up three super formations that they could keep the demons and Dark Ghosts outside.
Without the City Lord's power, they would not have been able to establish this safe home.
But from the time they had joined until now, they had never seen the mysterious City Lord. They did not know where he had gone.
"That's right, the City Lord seemed to have left behind a treasure for us to notify him." An elder of Green Sun City also recalled this matter.
"There really is such a treasure," Vice City Lord Gu Bo admitted.
"But in the past few years, we have not completed the mission the City Lord left us, so I do not have the face to contact the City Lord."
He was very ashamed. The City Lord had clearly only wanted them to complete a mission, but they had not been able to complete it. He did not have the face to contact the City Lord.
"Vice City Lord, this is no longer a matter of face. If we do not notify the City Lord, our Green Sun City will likely be finished," a general said.
"Hmph."
At this time, a general in black armor snorted. "Even if we notify the City Lord, it won't be of much use. Right now, it is not a matter of one more or one less person. The Dark Ghosts and demons have all come out of their nest. Even if the City Lord, who does not dare to show himself, appears, he will just have one more person sent to die."
"Chang Yongbo, what is the meaning of this? How dare you insult the City Lord?!"
A general shouted angrily, staring at the general in black armor. The other party was a general who had just joined Qingyang City a few years ago, and had never seen City Lord Xia Ping before.
Back then, Qingyang City's strength was too weak, and its population was too small. There were many newcomers, and many of them were strong. Chang Yongbo was one of them.
Over the past few years, the other party had made great contributions along the way, and his battle achievements were valiant, allowing him to wield quite a bit of power in Qingyang City. He was equivalent to one of the new nobles in Qingyang City, second only to Vice City Lord Gu Bo.
"To be honest, I have a weakness, and that is that I'm honest."
Chang Yongbo sneered. "No matter how powerful the City Lord is, he is still just a human. How can he compare to terrifying monsters like Dark Ghosts and Yaomo? No matter how powerful he is, there is a limit.
What we should do now is not to contact the City Lord who doesn't dare to show his face, but to prepare for battle and fight against those Nether Ghosts and Demons. We should not place our hopes on that illusory figure. "
"You!"
Many of the generals glared at Chang Yongbo, wanting to tear him to shreds.
But the other generals also stood behind Chang Yongbo, their killing intent surging. They were all Chang Yongbo's subordinates or people of the same faction. They stood on equal footing with the old men of Qingyang City, unwilling to be outdone.
In the past few years, too many people from all walks of life had come to Qingyang City, especially the top experts from other cities. All of them were powerful, unruly, ambitious, and had all sorts of thoughts.
If Gu Bo had not controlled the city's restrictive formations and possessed absolute martial power, they would have long since been unable to suppress this group of experts with their own strength.
In truth, if Xia Ping had not arrived at Qingyang City, these generals of Qingyang City would have been minor characters who could not even make it to the stage. The other human experts would not have taken them seriously at all.
Therefore, it was only natural that this group of new nobles wanted to compete with the old men of Qingyang City for power.
They believed that the old men of Qingyang City were mediocre in strength and aptitude, but they held most of the power without doing anything. They had long been dissatisfied and wanted this group of old men to abdicate.
This was because in this chaotic world, the strong were respected, and the wise reigned supreme.
"Enough!"
Vice City Lord Gu Bo snorted coldly. "If any of you dare insult the City Lord again, get out of Qingyang City immediately. We do not welcome any pests who disrespect the City Lord.
The reason why Qingyang City is where it is today is all because of the City Lord's power. Without the City Lord, there would be no us. You have no right to criticize the City Lord. "
He exuded a murderous aura.
"Yes, Vice City Lord."
Chang Yongbo and the others lowered their heads, not daring to be arrogant anymore. This was because Gu Bo controlled all of Qingyang City and had absolute power. A single order from him could immediately make their heads roll.
Moreover, without the restrictive formations of Qingyang City, if they dared to go out into the wilderness, only death awaited them. They would definitely be eaten by the Dark Ghosts and Demons, becoming their food.
None of them dared to leave the protection of Qingyang City.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the crowd and sat directly on the City Lord's seat, looking down at them from above.
"How dare you! Who are you?! How dare you sit on the City Lord's throne?! "
Chang Yongbo and the others were shocked and immediately became vigilant. This was the City Lord's Mansion, which was heavily guarded. Even a fly could not enter, but there was still someone who could enter this place without a sound.
They looked over and saw that the other party was an unfamiliar young man.
Immediately, they were furious. Someone actually dared to sit on the City Lord's throne so brazenly. This was simply insolence, turning a blind eye to all the higher-ups of Qingyang City.
But when Gu Bo and the others saw this young man, they were all overjoyed. They were simply wild with joy.
"City Lord, you've finally returned."
They stepped forward and bowed respectfully. The person in front of them was Xia Ping.
City Lord?!
Chang Yongbo and the others were even more shocked. They could not believe that this mysterious young man in front of them was actually the legendary City Lord of Qingyang City?!
They simply could not believe it, but seeing the attitude of Gu Bo and the other elders, they had to believe that this young man was the master of the Human Race's Sacred City.
"Gu Bo, you've done well. The construction of Qingyang City is not bad, and there hasn't been any big trouble."
