Uncle Liang's words startled Yan Qingxue.
Although she wanted to see Su Xin again and thank him in person, she had never thought of recruiting him.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she didn't dare. Yan Qingxue didn't have the confidence.
Yan Huangjiu didn't mind his children developing their own forces. On the contrary, he encouraged it.
Therefore, his children all used their connections and various resources to recruit the experts of Merchant Mountain City.
Putting aside some low-level martial artists, those martial artists ranked on the Honor List were all targets for them to recruit.
They didn't even need to think about the top twenty of the Honor List. Warriors of this level were almost all personally recruited by Yan Huangjiu as guests or practicing alone. They weren't qualified to be recruited.
However, there were a few warriors of the Xiantian realm below the top twenty of the Honor List. There were also warriors like Fan Ge who had shown great strength in the Houtian realm.
Almost all of these people had been recruited by Yan Zhongheng and the others. Only Yan Qingxue hadn't recruited a single person in these years.
Yan Qingxue's subordinates were only Uncle Liang, who had been taking care of her since she was a child, and Chi Rang, who had been by her side ever since she rescued him from the hands of the mountain bandits. The rest of her subordinates were just some ordinary followers that she had recruited with money from within the Merchant Mountain City. Their strength did not exceed the Acquired Realm.
It wasn't that she didn't want to recruit them, but even if she did, no one would be willing to follow her.
Yan Huangjiu had ninety-three children, but only three were daughters.
In the world of martial arts where men ruled, women were the weaker side. Therefore, when competing for the position of city lord, they were naturally inferior to men.
Apart from gender, the second reason was that Yan Qingxue couldn't bring out anything that could move the hearts of the warriors.
Yan Huangjiu didn't lack money. He gave his children a hundred thousand taels of silver every month.
However, this amount of money could be used to recruit some Hou Tian primary stage or middle stage Hou Tian martial artists. However, it couldn't attract Hou Tian consummate stage martial artists.
As long as they weren't too old, the only thing on their minds was to break through to the Xiantian realm.
The difference between Houtian and Xiantian was only one word, but it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
No matter how strong the Houtian realm was, one was still just an ordinary person of Jianghu. Only the Xiantian realm could be considered to have truly entered the realm.
However, to advance from the Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm, what was needed was not money, but some cultivation resources, and most importantly, pills.
The pills used for cultivation were all secretly concocted by some of the big sects in the Jianghu. Even if others had the medicinal ingredients, they would not be able to refine them.
This kind of pill was extremely rare in Jianghu. It was basically priceless. Even if you had money, you wouldn't be able to buy it.
Yan Zhongheng and the others had the support of the major forces in Xiangnan. It was not a problem for them to get some pills, but Yan Qingxue did not have such channels.
Moreover, this also involved the question of which side to take.
As for who the next successor of Merchant Mountain City would be, this was not only a matter of the Yan Clan, but also of all the martial artists in Merchant Mountain City.
Once they stood on the wrong side, they would be greeted with a great purge.
Therefore, the martial artists of Merchant Mountain City were very cautious as to which young master of the Yan Clan they would side with. Even if there were a few martial artists who had the idea of being cold hearted, they would not choose Yan Qingxue. This was because the chances of her becoming the successor of the City Lord were simply too low, so low that it was almost impossible.
Even if Yan Qingxue was usually very good to them and was approachable, this still would not make them give up the rest of their lives to choose Yan Qingxue.
Even some of the local martial artists of Merchant Mountain City would not choose to help her, let alone Meng Qingze who seemed to be free and unfettered in Jianghu.
Yan Qingxue smiled bitterly: "Uncle Liang, I know you are doing this for my own good, but this Young Master Meng is obviously not someone we can afford to associate with. With his strength, why would he stay in Merchant Mountain City to help me fight against others and fight for the position of City Lord?"
Uncle Liang sighed: "I also know this, but this Young Master Meng is our only hope.
He was able to defeat Yan Zhongheng with one strike, which is almost the strength of the top ten on the Honor List. If he helps us, how can we be bullied by Yan Zhongheng and the others?
I asked you to recruit him because I can see that Meng Qingze still has a chivalrous heart. If he knows of your predicament, he should not ignore it. "
Yan Qingxue hesitated for a moment, but then shook her head: "No, then wouldn't I be deliberately using Young Master Meng's sympathy to deceive him? That won't do. "
Uncle Liang sighed. Miss was good in every aspect, except that she was a little too kind. However, in this world, good people never lived long.
At this moment, the little girl Lü Li suddenly said: "This Young Master Meng's name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere before."
Hearing Lü Li say this, Uncle Liang felt that something was wrong.
How could such a powerful young elite be a nobody in Jianghu?
"Where's the Mortal Ranking List? Where's this issue's Mortal Ranking List? Quickly find it, "Uncle Liang hurriedly said to Chi Rang.
Chi Rang's favorite thing was to collect the Mortal Ranking List, and he looked at those famous young elites on the Mortal Ranking List with envy.
This issue's Mortal Ranking List had been out for many days, so of course he had collected a copy.
Hearing this, Chi Rang immediately took out the Mortal Ranking List and opened it. When he saw the name on it, his face immediately flushed with excitement: "So Young Master Meng is actually on the Mortal Ranking List! The disciple of the former Harmonious Spirit Realm martial dao master 'Si Jue Wanderer'! "
Hearing Chi Rang's words, Uncle Liang immediately let out a deep sigh.
A powerhouse on the Mortal Ranking List, the best of the entire Jianghu's younger generation. If she could really have the help of a powerhouse on the Mortal Ranking List, Yan Qingxue's chances of becoming the city lord's successor would at least be equal to Yan Zhongheng's.
However, knowing that this Young Master Meng was actually on the Mortal Ranking List, Uncle Liang also gave up on the idea of letting Yan Qingxue recruit Young Master Meng.
A swan would not associate with sparrows. As a powerhouse on the Mortal Ranking List, Meng Qingxue was probably just seeing injustice on the road. Uncle Liang's small temple really couldn't accommodate him.
At this time, Yan Zhongheng and the others had also sent people to inquire about Su Xin.
After knowing the identity of this' Meng Qingze ', Yan Zhongheng and the others were instantly dumbfounded.
They originally thought that he was a stupid person who didn't know what was good for him, but they didn't expect that he was actually a dragon that crossed the river.
They had all seen this issue of the Mortal Ranking List, but the two big news of Xie Zhiyan and Su Xin attracted everyone's attention. 'Meng Qingze', this new powerhouse on the Mortal Ranking List, was really easy to overlook.
Originally, Yan Zhongheng planned to immediately bring people to find trouble with Su Xin after returning. However, after knowing his true identity, his subordinates were a little hesitant.
One of the middle-aged martial artists who was around forty years old said in a deep voice, "Young Master, I suggest that you don't find trouble with that Meng Qingze."
If it was someone else who said this, Yan Zhongheng would have already sent him flying with a slap. However, he didn't dare to do that to this middle-aged martial artist in front of him.
This middle-aged martial artist was called Zhang Guang, and he was the only two Xiantian Realm martial artists under him.
Zhang Guang was once ranked twenty-seventh on the Wind Cloud Arena, and was also one of the few experts in Merchant Mountain City. He was someone that Yan Zhongheng spent a lot of effort to recruit.
The other Xiantian Realm martial artist was a Distant Fire Cult disciple sent by his mother to protect him. Although they were close, they weren't considered confidants. The other party had a sect behind him, and his first loyalty was definitely to the sect behind him.
Now that the Distant Fire Cult Xiantian Realm martial artist had returned to the sect, Zhang Guang was practically his number one general. Yan Zhongheng couldn't ignore his words.
"Why!
Yan Zhongheng said hatefully, "Fan Ge and the others were heavily injured by that Meng Qingze, and they were almost crippled. He even dared to attack me. Do you know that he almost killed me at that time?!"
The moment Su Xin struck at him, Yan Zhongheng was really afraid. He was afraid that Su Xin would kill him with one strike.
That ice-cold killing intent was like a substance, and it made Yan Zhongheng really feel the threat of death.
Zhang Guang said in a deep voice, "Then we have to endure it! The future achievements of the young generation that can be ranked on the Mortal Ranking List are limitless. Unless we kill them in one strike, when they grow up, they will definitely be existences that we can't imagine.
Moreover, you saw Meng Qingze's strength today. At the very least, I am not his match in the same rank. Moreover, he once single-handedly killed the Four Vicious of Eastern Mountain, who were at the Innate Qi Hai Realm.
Those four were famous bandits of the pugilistic world, and they killed many people. Moreover, the four of them were together all year round, and their joint attack technique was already at the great success stage. Meng Qingze being able to kill them is enough to prove his strength. "
Speaking up to this point, Zhang Guang also sighed in his heart, and he had endless envy.
In the entire pugilistic world, the number of Xiantian Realm martial artists was definitely not small. Even if no one had counted them, there were at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
Among so many Xiantian Realm martial artists, only 108 of them could be ranked on the Mortal Ranking List. It could be imagined how strong they were.
Moreover, after being ranked on the Mortal Ranking List, one would become famous overnight. This was something that an unknown Xiantian Realm martial artist like Zhang Guang was most envious of.
Yan Zhongheng said with a gloomy expression, "So what if he is strong? A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. He might be able to kill the Four Vicious of Eastern Mountain, but can he kill 40 of them?
At most, I will pay a price and let my mother find the seniors of the Li Fire Cult. I don't believe that we can't kill him with dozens of Xiantian Realm martial artists! "
Cold sweat immediately dripped down Zhang Guang's head, "Young Master! You must not do this!
This Meng Qingze is not water without a source or a tree without roots. His master is the Four Absolute Wanderer, Zong Haoyang!
Although Zong Haoyang is not on the Earth Ranking List, his Harmonious Spirit Realm strength is genuine, and he is not inferior to the City Lord at all.
Now that he has gone to the Outer Endless Sea to find a chance to break through to the Yang God Realm, who knows if he has broken through? However, seeing that he still has the leisure to teach a disciple like Meng Qingze, he has most likely broken through.
A Yang God Realm martial artist is something that even the City Lord is not willing to provoke. If we kill him and lure out the Four Absolute Wanderer in the Eastern Sea, our Merchant Mountain City will be in trouble! "
