Elder Hong nodded and said, "Keyue's instructions are very good. Before the matter is cleared up, maintain the highest level of vigilance. Kill anyone who makes the slightest movement!"
Elder Huang behind him sighed, "Scarlet Moon City has only been around for twenty years, and they've already changed their second city lord. This is definitely not a good omen! Chu Ran is a calm child and does things well. He's a rare overlord talent. If something really happens to him, who will succeed him to lead Scarlet Moon City? "
Everyone fell silent. Although Scarlet Moon City was filled with all kinds of internal strife, and there were many people who were unconvinced of Jiang Churan's leadership, Jiang Churan's death made everyone feel that they had lost their backbone. No one was suitable to lead Scarlet Moon City.
At this time, everyone was stunned to find that although Jiang Churan was usually gentle and quiet, and didn't have any overbearing aura, Scarlet Moon City couldn't do without him.
Ning Hangfeng said, "Reporting to the three elders, my second sister said before she left that Ruan Yuansi will be in charge of all matters in the city before she returns."
Ruan Yuansi's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with astonishment. Obviously, he didn't expect Ning Keyue to mention him.
Ning Huaishu's face was filled with anger, and he said, "Hmph, Ning Keyue really knows how to cause trouble. Does she think Scarlet Moon City is up to her to decide who is in charge?"
"That's right!"
Jiang Ruoxi also nodded, "When the city lord isn't here, it should naturally be us five council members who discuss matters together."
Ning Hangfeng frowned, "When City Lord Jiang left, he appointed my second sister and Madam Hong Yu to temporarily take charge. Now, my second sister and Madam Hong Yu are handing over the power to Ruan Yuansi. This is understandable."
Fu Yichun snorted, "Hangfeng, it's not that we want to fight with Ruan Yuansi, but when Jiang Churan was here, did you ever see us interfering with internal and external matters? It's just that this is an extraordinary opportunity, and us five old fellows must take up this responsibility. "
Ning Hangfeng resisted, "Hangfeng understands the five sirs' concerns, but the five sirs have been away from politics for a long time and aren't familiar with Scarlet Moon City's affairs. Ruan Yuansi has always been by City Lord Jiang's side, so Hangfeng secretly thinks that Ruan Yuansi is the best candidate to temporarily take charge."
Ning Yuanmen said angrily, "Ning Hangfeng, who the hell do you think you are! Who are you to speak here? "
Now was the best time for the five of them to take control of the Red Moon City. Naturally, they wouldn't give it to Ruan Yuansi. Once Jiang Churan died, no one could compete with them in terms of seniority.
Ruan Hongyu said coldly, "When Chu Ran left, he handed over the internal power to me. Do I have the right to speak?"
Ning YuanMen glanced at her and said indifferently, "Hong Yu naturally has the right to speak. However, when Jiang Churan left, he handed over the internal and external authority to you and Ning Keyue. This is against the rules of Red Moon City, so it cannot be counted. Now that Jiang Churan has met with misfortune, the five of us can no longer just focus on cultivation. We must shoulder this responsibility. "
Many people in the hall also echoed, but there were also many people who expressed their opposition.
In the beginning, they were discussing in whispers, but in the end, they openly challenged him. In an instant, there was a huge commotion, and it was as if they were about to start fighting.
"The five sirs are highly respected and have won the hearts of the people. They were the undisputed choices."
"Hmph, I haven't been involved in politics for many years. I don't know anything. How can I be in power?"
"What can happen in Scarlet Moon City? We'll get used to it in a few days. Besides, this has always been the rule. In the absence of the City Lord, the councilors have the highest authority!"
"Hmph, the councilman is the most powerful? In this world, the fist is the strongest. If the five of you can defeat Ruan Yuansi, I will be convinced. "
When the five of them heard the discussion, their faces turned gloomy. If they were to fight with Ruan Yuansi, they really didn't have the confidence to win, unless the five of them joined forces. However, if they did that, they would lose all their face.
Ruan Yuansi, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said in a loud voice, "Everyone, please stop fighting. Red Moon City is in a critical period now, and there is no room for internal strife. I am very much in favor of letting the five sirs take control. I am more familiar with the affairs of the Scarlet Moon City, and I am willing to assist the five sirs with all my might. "
As soon as he opened his mouth, his supporters were immediately dissatisfied, and all of them became anxious.
Ruan Hongyu was also anxious and pulled Ruan Yuansi's sleeve.
Ruan Yuansi smiled faintly and said, "Everything should be done for the sake of the Red Moon City."
A complacent smile appeared on Ning Yuanmen's face, and he said, "Yuansi is still a sensible child."
Ruan Yuansi smiled and nodded at the five of them. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking, but there seemed to be a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Seeing that Ruan Yuansi was willing to give up, the supporters also fell silent, while the five council members all had complacent looks on their faces.
The red, yellow, and blue elders looked at each other and secretly nodded. Only then did the red elder speak, "It's rare for Yuansi to be so broad-minded. In that case, the five of you will temporarily take over the management power, and Yuansi will do his best to assist you. After Ning Keyue returns from Purple Cloud Peak, you can make a decision."
"Yes, we will obey the three elders' orders!"
The five of them were overjoyed, and they secretly looked at each other and smiled. With the three elders' approval, they were at least in control for the time being.
As for Ning Keyue, she was just a little girl. In terms of strength, they couldn't beat her, but in terms of schemes and methods, they didn't care at all. When the time came, wouldn't she be under their control?
The lofty sentiments that the five of them had worn away for a long time were instantly restored. Each of them was in high spirits, as if they had suddenly become the overlords of the world, causing everyone to frown.
Even if they were happy, they shouldn't show it in this kind of time when there were internal and external troubles. How could people who couldn't control their emotions achieve great things? Even the red, yellow, and blue elders looked unhappy, as if they felt that it was inappropriate.
Suddenly, a faint laugh came from outside, and said, "The arrangements are pretty good, but unfortunately, Ning Keyue won't be able to return."
Everyone's body trembled, and their expressions changed. There was actually someone who dared to be so presumptuous in the Red Moon City. This was something that had never happened in many years.
The red, yellow, and blue elders' expressions darkened even more. Someone was eavesdropping outside, and they actually didn't notice it. It was enough to show how terrifying the intruder's strength was. They also secretly blamed themselves. They actually forgot to set up a defensive barrier for such a major event. It seemed like without Jiang Churan around, everyone was indeed lacking in contingency measures.
But when they thought about it again, if Jiang Churan was still around, who in the world would dare to eavesdrop like this?
The three of them secretly sighed, and directly turned into three rays of light, rushing out. The others also soared into the sky one after another.
In an instant, the city lord's manor was filled with experts, and all of them looked towards the sky angrily.
A ripple appeared in the pitch-black sky, and a large number of figures gradually appeared. In the darkness, it was impossible to see their faces clearly.
The red elder glanced at the five members of the council, and reminded them, "The five of you are now the leaders of the Red Moon City."
Only then did Ning Huaishu react. It was time for the five of them to stand up. He was surprised and overjoyed, and shouted towards the sky, "Who is it? Who dares to behave atrociously in the sky above the Red Moon City? Reckless! "
"Hehe."
Faint laughter came from the sky, and said, "Jiang Churan is trapped in the Earthly Wilderness, and Ning Keyue is trapped in the Amethyst Mountain. Are you the Red, Yellow, and Blue elders?"
Everyone was shocked. It seemed that the other party had come prepared, and deliberately chose to appear when the two great experts were not in the city.
Ning Huaishu shouted, "I am Ning Huaishu, a member of the council of the Red Moon City. I am now in charge of the Red Moon City. Who are you?"
"Ning Huaishu? I've never heard of you. "
The voice in the sky was slightly rueful, and sighed. "When there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey calls itself king. Could it be that the Red Moon City can only send this kind of person to hold up the fort?"
"Damn it!"
Ning Huaishu was furious. He had just come to power, and this was the time when he needed prestige. How could he tolerate being looked down upon like this? With a furious roar, he rushed into the sky, and a giant blade appeared in his hand. He slashed towards the source of the voice, and in an instant, there was a flash of light, illuminating the entire sky.
The five members of the council had nothing to do every day, and although they were a bit stupid, their strength was indeed extraordinary.
The space where the voice came from twisted violently, and was torn apart by the blade of light. A figure appeared from within.
The corner of the person's mouth curled up, and he raised his hand slightly. The tip of the glove on his index finger shone with a red light, and ten thousand rays of red light shot out, piercing through the night sky and shooting down.
The shadow of the blade of light was instantly suppressed, and it trembled in the countless rays of red light before disintegrating.
The figure sneered disdainfully, and took a step forward, pointing at the sky again.
Ning Huaishu was shocked. The aura on the tip of the opponent's finger glove was extremely terrifying, like a venomous scorpion staring at him, and he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
In a moment of desperation, he waved the giant blade again, pouring all his strength into it, and slashed at the figure without saying anything.
Below, the red and yellow elders all frowned, as if they were extremely displeased. This Ning Huaishu was too inexperienced, and he was still so rash when his cultivation was weaker than his opponent's. It seemed that he was about to lose.
Sure enough, the figure took a step forward, and his figure actually passed through the giant blade as if it was an illusion. However, the red light in his hand was real, and he directly pointed at it.
Peng!
A ray of red light directly broke through Ning Huaishu's Emperor Qi defense, shooting into his chest and coming out from his back. Then, he raised his foot and directly stepped down.
A giant shadow of a foot formed in the air, and Ning Huaishu's Emperor Qi was broken. The shadow of the foot contained an extremely powerful pressure, making it impossible for him to dodge. He watched in despair as the giant foot came crashing down.
Peng!
Without any suspense, Ning Huaishu spat out a mouthful of blood, and was stomped down from the sky, smashing into the ground.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling their bodies go cold. Ning Huaishu was an eight-star advanced Emperor Wu, and he was actually defeated in one move?
After the giant foot landed on Ning Huaishu, it turned into countless rays of light that dissipated in the air.
The figure of that person gradually appeared in the faint light, and he smiled as he stood in the air, saying, "In this world, fists speak. If you don't have fists, then don't speak."
Ruan Yuansi was shocked, and immediately recognized the person. She said in shock, "Tang Qing? It's you! "
As soon as this name came out, everyone's hearts trembled, and they were all greatly shocked.
No wonder he could defeat Ning Huaishu in one move. The person who came was one of the members of the Merchant Alliance's board of directors, the Master of the Four Extremes Sect who had caused an uproar in the world a while ago — Tang Qing!
