The Third Young Master Shen of the Abandoned Sword Villa must be having a hard time with a brother who would drag him down no matter what.
Heavenly King Luo and Advisor Hei Ze sighed.
"Why don't we just kill such a brother and keep him for the New Year?"
Heavenly King Luo had always been decisive. If he had such a relative in his family, he wouldn't hesitate to kill him so that he wouldn't drag him down.
"This Eldest Young Master isn't simple either … I'm afraid it won't be that easy to kill him."
Advisor Hei Ze was shrewd and sinister.
"We didn't notice that Shen Baihe isn't someone to be trifled with."
Heavenly King Luo shuddered. Advisor Hei Ze was telling the truth. They had never thought highly of Shen Baihe before, but now, they felt a chill down their spine.
"Should we listen to him and cause trouble during Shen Zhenyi's inauguration ceremony?" Heavenly King Luo was hesitant.
Advisor Hei Ze fell into silence. He didn't think it through either.
The change of the City Lord of King City was a major event for the Southern Region.
The sun was shining brightly on this day. The main gate of the City Lord Mansion was wide open. The trees on both sides of the road shone with golden light. There was not a speck of dust in the surroundings. Many experts stood quietly at the gate, not even daring to breathe.
They were waiting for the new City Lord of this city.
Ouyang Jue, wearing a golden robe, stood respectfully at the front. His head was lowered and no one could see his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
The other elders stood in order. At least on the surface, their attitude was respectful. No matter what, the Third Young Master Shen was already a Level Six True God Realm expert.
Even if they didn't respect him, they had to respect him.
The guests from the other sects in the city were not qualified to enter the inner part of the City Lord's Mansion. They were all gathered at the periphery like ants, crowding together, waiting to see the glory of the new City Lord.
"Master, it's the auspicious time."
Princess Long softly reminded Shen Zhenyi, who was slowly bathing and changing under the small building in her dream.
"Got it."
Shen Zhenyi replied calmly.
He had already changed into a new set of white robes. His female disciples had embroidered golden threads on his sleeves and the hem of his robes. Other than that, the style of his robes did not change at all.
To him, the position of City Lord was nothing more than an ordinary matter. The golden hem of his robes was already considered grand.
"Master is so handsome today." Cynanchum Chinense flattered at the side.
"Which day isn't Master handsome?" The disciples gathered in the courtyard exclaimed in admiration.
"From today onwards, The Third Prince will be the Castellan of King City. Our Abandoned Sword Villa will also ascend to heaven," a young disciple who had just joined the Abandoned Sword Villa said complacently.
The older disciples smiled but did not say anything.
The Third Prince had led the Abandoned Sword Villa to upgrade too many times. Everyone was already used to the change in status. Even they would not make a fuss over a mere Overlord City Master.
"The auspicious hour has arrived. We respectfully welcome the Third Young Master Shen to the position of City Lord of King City. "
Outside the Abandoned Sword Villa, the welcoming team sent by the Elders Guild was dressed in magnificent robes. They knelt together in front of the door and finally could not help but loudly urge The Third Prince to set off.
"Let's go."
Shen Zhenyi's attitude was calm. He waved his sleeves and lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot as he floated down the stairs.
The people of King City had already prepared a long brocade carpet from the Dream Sword Villa to the entrance of the Abandoned Sword Villa. After that, it stretched for thousands of miles until it reached the City Lord's residence thousands of miles away.
Every once in a while, there would be experts from various forces in the city kneeling to welcome him and offering him gifts as a sign of respect.
Cynanchum Chinense and the others were not used to such a scene and were all amazed.
"Overlord Fist is just a small city in the Southern Region. The position of City Lord is actually so honorable."
Princess Long quietly whispered to Cynanchum Chinense.
Chu Huoluo said disdainfully, "It's always been like this. It's precisely because they place too much emphasis on the hierarchy that there aren't any true experts in King City. They don't have any battle prowess. Isn't the entire Seven Wounds World the same?"
The longer they stayed in the Seven Wounds World, the more oppressed they felt.
This was a world where strength was respected. This was not a big deal, but the most terrifying thing was that this world had already fallen into a state of involution. The strength of the human race should have been gathered and thrown into the battle with the beasts. This was also the only hope for the survival of the human race.
But even behind the steel walls, most of the humans were busy fighting for power and profit. They pretended to be blind to the upcoming threat.
Thinking about it, it was quite laughable.
"Don't bother with them." Zi Ningjun rarely spoke.
She understood that for Shen Zhenyi, this was just a node on the road.
His gaze had long been beyond the dome of heaven.
"Master will eventually change the Seven Wounds World."
"When the time comes, all these bad habits will be swept away."
Zi Ningjun looked at the people pitifully. Cynanchum Chinense and Princess Long nodded in agreement.
The few of them walked through the crowd with their heads held high.
"They are here."
There were already people in the City Lord's residence that had heard that Shen Zhenyi and the rest were finally arriving. The various Elders who had ulterior motives all heaved a sigh of relief.
Guang Shengjun sincerely admired Shen Zhenyi. Of course, it would be best for him to take over the City Lord position.
Although Ouyang Jue had selfish motives, he was willing to loyally support the City Lord position just now.
Military Advisor Hei Ze and Heavenly King Luo had their own plans and did not show it on their faces.
As for Qiu Feng Ye and Sha Wuchou, they had been indifferent during this period of time. No one knew what they were thinking.
"The guests from the various cities of the Southern Region have also gathered."
"Today, as long as the Third Young Master Shen takes over the City Lord position, he will have an inseparable connection with King City. In the future, he will have to contribute to King City …"
"Even if he can't, he will be a shield for King City. At least, he will be able to avoid trouble for a while."
Ouyang Jue understood. With a face full of smiles, he led Shen Zhenyi to the seat of honor in the main hall. He held the City Lord's seal and was about to present it respectfully.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a sharp shout came from below the hall.
"The change of City Lord is a family matter of King City. The people of the Southern Region should not interfere. It's just that the identity and background of this Third Young Master Shen is still a little unclear. Now that the ferocious beasts are wreaking havoc, the situation is precarious, and we can't guarantee that he will survive. We have to get to the bottom of this before we can acknowledge this new Overlord City Lord, lest he implicates all the cities in the Southern Region! "
A skinny old man with a head full of white hair slowly walked out from below the hall.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen people in different outfits.
Ouyang Jue's eyelids twitched.
"Seniors, all of you!"
He actually did not notice the appearance of these people!
When King City appointed a new City Lord, the various cities of the Southern Region sent people to congratulate them as usual.
However, who would have thought that the City Lords of the various cities were actually hiding among the congratulatory group and only appeared at this crucial moment!
What were they trying to do?
Ouyang Jue's back was drenched in cold sweat as he looked at Shen Zhenyi blankly.
— — City Lord, what should I do?
He had always wanted to ask this question. Even if the person on the City Lord's seat was no longer Moonless Raiment but the Third Young Master Shen, he still placed his hopes on him.
