"Presumptuous! Where do you think you are? Who do you think you are talking to? "
"You're just a small faction from the inner region, yet you dare to boast shamelessly in front of us?"
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the old man became even more furious. He stood up abruptly, pointed his finger at Xing Jue and scolded.
Not only the old man, almost all the elders in the hall were enraged by Xing Jue's words. At this moment, even Nalan Xiaoxiao was at a loss of what to do. Although she was one of the successors of the clan, she still obeyed the words of these elders. Now that Xing Jue had dared to use such harsh words to contradict these elders, it was obvious that a great disaster was about to befall him.
"Buzz."
However, just when Nalan Xiaoxiao was thinking about how to help Xing Jue, an aura that was several times stronger than that of the old man suddenly spread out from Xing Jue's side. It swept across the hall like an invisible hurricane, instantly enveloping the entire hall.
Such a powerful aura even caused the elders of Snow's Lament to be shocked. Because at this moment, they were unable to control their bodies, and it was even to the extent that their breathing was greatly pressured while their bodies had started to tremble uncontrollably.
"Are you looking down on my Asura Palace?"
At this moment, a voice filled with killing intent suddenly rang out from beside Xing Jue. At this moment, everyone was shocked to discover that the powerful aura was actually emitted by the old man who had been silent for a long time beside Xing Jue. Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that this ordinary-looking old man was actually a high level Combat Emperor.
"I didn't expect the Asura Palace to have such an expert. I hope senior can forgive me for my previous offense." Upon seeing this, an elder of Snow Listening City quickly said to the old man in an extremely courteous manner with a smile on his face.
"Buzz."
Seeing that the other party had admitted defeat, the old man retracted his powerful aura. At this moment, the elders of Snow Listening City instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
"Hehe, no wonder Palace Leader Xing Jue dared to boast like that. It turns out that the Asura Palace has hidden their true strength so deeply. It looks like it won't be difficult for us to win tomorrow's competition."
At this moment, the old man who had previously made things difficult for Xing Jue walked up to Xing Jue and said with a smile. Speaking of which, the speed at which this old man changed his expression was really fast.
"Don't worry. I, Xing Jue, never boast. If I say that I can help Xiaoxiao become the City Lord, I will definitely do it."
"As for what method I will use, all of you will find out tomorrow." Xing Jue smiled faintly at the old man who had suddenly greeted him with a smile.
With the Snow Listening Token in his hand, Xing Jue was fully confident that he could help Nalan Xiaoxiao ascend to the position of the City Lord. Not to mention Nalan Xiaoxiao, it wasn't impossible for him to take control of Snow Listening City himself. However, because he had promised Nalan Xue and had a relationship with Nalan Xiaoxiao, Xing Jue couldn't do it.
The reason why he didn't take out the Snow Listening Token now was because Xing Jue knew that tomorrow's competition wouldn't be easy. Snow Listening City had been divided for thousands of years. Currently, the four forces of Snow Listening City were eyeing the City Lord's throne covetously.
Therefore, none of the forces would be willing to give up the position of the City Lord to someone else. If Xing Jue were to help Nalan Xiaoxiao obtain control of Snow Listening City tomorrow, he would inevitably encounter some difficulties. However, as long as Xing Jue had the Snow Listening Token in his hand, he wouldn't be afraid of any tricks.
After knowing that the old man was actually a high grade Combat Emperor, the few elders who were worried about Xing Jue were completely relieved.
Although Xing Jue's words were too harsh, they didn't pay too much attention to it. On the contrary, they were convinced by Xing Jue's domineering attitude. At least, they didn't dare to look down on the Asura Palace and Xing Jue anymore.
After learning about the background of Xing Jue and the Asura Palace, the few elders bid farewell and left in a hurry, leaving Nalan Xiaoxiao alone.
"Young master Xing Jue, are you really going to recommend me to be the City Lord of Snow Listening City tomorrow?"
"If that's the case, I advise you not to do so, because the elders of the other families will never agree to it. Furthermore, it will arouse their hatred towards the Asura Palace. When the Union Mansion is defeated, I'm afraid that they will instigate grandfather to harm the Asura Palace." After the few elders left, Nalan Xiaoxiao worriedly advised Xing Jue.
"Your grandfather? Don't tell me he's the high grade Combat Emperor who never interferes with the affairs of Snow Listening City? "Compared to Nalan Xiaoxiao's kind advice, Xing Jue was more concerned about his grandfather.
The reason why Snow Listening City was able to contend with the Union Mansion was not only because of the elite family members, but also because of a mysterious person who never interfered with the affairs of the family. However, the reason why he was the key was because he was a high grade Combat Emperor, an existence that could fight against the leader of the Union Mansion. However, what surprised Xing Jue was that this mysterious person was actually Nalan Xiaoxiao's grandfather.
"En, in fact, my grandfather is the most qualified person to be the City Lord. However, he has never liked the affairs of the family since he was young. Instead, he spent most of his time cultivating in seclusion." Nalan Xiaoxiao nodded and replied.
"With such a strong person like your grandfather as your backing, doesn't that make you even more qualified to be the City Lord?" Xing Jue said with a smile.
"But my grandfather is my grandfather. His strength doesn't represent mine. Furthermore, he won't recommend me to be the City Lord." Nalan Xiaoxiao replied with certainty.
"Even if he doesn't recommend you, he won't oppose you either, right?"
"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. Since I said I'll let you be the City Lord, I naturally have a way to do so. Furthermore, I'll make the people of Snow Listening City submit to you wholeheartedly. At the same time, they'll look at the Asura Palace in a new light." Xing Jue smiled and comforted her. Moreover, his smile exuded a sense of confidence.
Facing such a confident Xing Jue, Nalan Xiaoxiao didn't have much to say. After talking about the Union Assembly for a while, she left early.
"Xing Jue, are you trying to stir up trouble for me tomorrow?" Right after Nalan Xiaoxiao left, the old man who had been silent for a long time suddenly threw a questioning gaze at Xing Jue.
"Hehe, I just want to let all the upper echelons of Snow Listening City know how powerful the Asura Palace is."
"Otherwise, even if the Alliance Mansion doesn't exist, Snow Listening City will still become the second Alliance Mansion. At that time, they'll inevitably attack the Asura Palace." Seeing this, Xing Jue grinned, revealing his white teeth.
The old man shook his head helplessly in response to Xing Jue's words. However, he felt that Xing Jue's words made sense. It was necessary to establish their prestige. Just like before, if it wasn't for the old man's display of his true strength, the few Elders of Snow Listening City would have given Xing Jue a hard time.
The next morning, Nalan Xiaoxiao and the few old men from yesterday arrived at the palace where Xing Jue and the old man were resting. They received Xing Jue and the old man and led them to the main palace of Snow Listening City to participate in the so-called Union Assembly.
Currently, in the spacious main palace, Xing Jue and the old man were sitting on the main seats. Beside them were the leaders and young lords of the other three major powers. The leaders were all mid-grade Combat Emperors, while the young lords and Xing Jue were both low-grade Combat Emperors.
However, while Xing Jue and the old man were concealing their strength, they would cast disdainful gazes at Xing Jue from time to time. In response to these gazes, Xing Jue just smiled faintly and didn't pay much attention to them.
On the opposite side of Xing Jue and the old man were four beautiful ladies with different styles. They were the four young ladies of Snow Listening City, and Nalan Xiaoxiao was one of them.
"The Union Prefecture has been eyeing our Snow Listening City covetously. They are preparing to launch an attack on our city in a month's time.
"However, our Snow Listening City isn't one to sit and wait for death. Since the Union Prefecture has the intention to wage war against us, our Snow Listening City has decided to launch an attack on them in advance, catching them off guard.
"Today, we are very happy to be able to invite the leaders of the Trinity Palace, Red Blood Stockade, Ice Dust Palace, and Asura Palace to come to our Snow Listening City and become our allies. I believe that with your help, our Snow Listening City will be able to defeat the Union Prefecture in this war.
"But before that, my Snow's Lament must choose an outstanding junior to temporarily assume the position of city lord and lead my Snow's Lament to victory in this war.
"Therefore, I will have to trouble the leaders of the various forces to clearly state the true strength of each of your forces so that we can make a comparison. The strength of your four forces will be determined by which of the four young ladies of our Snow Listening City will be the City Lord." At this moment, an old man from Snow Listening City stood up and said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to Xing Jue and the old man, as well as the three forces.
"Since that's the case, in order to allow Miss Nalan Yue to take the position of City Lord, our Trinity Palace will not hide anything. Let's reveal our true strength to everyone." At this moment, the young master of the Trinity Palace suddenly stood up and spoke with a confident smile on his face.
As he spoke, he could not help but glance at the young lady of Snow Listening City, Nalan Yue. Nalan Yue even had a charming smile on her face. It was clear that the two of them had an unusual relationship.
Of course, to be able to rope in such a force from the Alliance Mansion, apart from the generous rewards, it was also very difficult to do so without some special connections. After all, pure disciples like Xing Jue who were willing to contribute to their friends for free were rare.
After that, the three young masters of the Trinity Palace, Red Blood Stockade, and Ice Dust Palace stood up one after another and proudly announced the true strength of their respective forces to the crowd.
Every time they finished speaking, the elders of Snow Listening City would smile in satisfaction. Clearly, they were extremely satisfied with the strength of their forces.
But compared to the crowd, Xing Jue and the old man did not seem to care at all. Instead, they wore smiles on their faces as they leisurely enjoyed the tea and snacks on the table, as if the competition had nothing to do with them.
