After announcing Yan Qingxue's position as the successor in front of everyone, Yan Huangjiu handed a token to Yan Qingxue.
This token represented that all the finances and trade routes of Merchant Mountain City would be under Yan Qingxue's control in the future.
There was another token that controlled all the military forces of Merchant Mountain City. However, this token was only in the hands of Yan Huangjiu, and he had no intention of handing it over for the time being.
After announcing the result, Yan Huangjiu left with his people. However, before he left, he took a deep look at Su Xin. Was this person worth entrusting?
At the same time, the first thing Yan Zhengheng and the others did when they returned to their residences was to inform the forces behind them of the news and seek help.
Since Yan Huangjiu had announced Yan Qingxue as the successor of Merchant Mountain City, the power bestowed upon them by Yan Huangjiu could no longer be used. The only thing they could do now was to seek help from the sects behind them and see what they had to say.
Yan Zhengheng and the others were not fools. They also knew that if they allowed their sects to participate in the battle for the position of Lord of Merchant Mountain City, then even if they became the Lord of Merchant Mountain City in the end, they would only be a puppet. The true power would still be in the hands of the sects behind them.
However, if they did not allow the forces behind them to participate, then they would not have the slightest chance of becoming the Lord of Merchant Mountain City.
Moreover, they were not Yan Huangjiu. Their mothers were originally from these sects, and the teachings they had seen and heard from a young age made them not averse to these martial arts sects.
In their minds, they were even considered members of these martial arts sects. What did it matter if they let Merchant Mountain City approach them?
With this thought in mind, the four of them almost simultaneously sent a message to the sects behind them, hoping that they could think of a way to help them obtain the position of the Lord of Merchant Mountain City.
Therefore, after receiving this news, the four martial arts sects behind Yan Zhengheng and the others all moved.
They were determined to obtain the position of Lord of Merchant Mountain City. Not only because of the wealth of Merchant Mountain City itself, but also because of the martial artists in the city.
If the future Lord of Merchant Mountain City were to approach any one of these sects, then the strength of that sect would truly reach the level of dominating Xiangnan.
Three days later, at the entrance of Merchant Mountain City, more than ten riders rode into the city. One of them was a young man in his thirties. He had a valiant face and an extraordinary aura. He murmured: "This is Merchant Mountain City? After five years of seclusion, my cousin still hasn't taken the position of the City Lord of Merchant Mountain City. He even needs my Mo Clan to personally take action. What a waste. "
These people were naturally sent by the Mo family of Azure Water Valley after receiving Yan Shuheng's letter.
As soon as they entered the city, Yan Shuheng greeted them at the gate.
Yan Shuheng's face lit up when he saw the young man in the lead.
This young man was not simple. He was Mo Tianlan, the eldest grandson of the Mo family of Canglan Valley and also the leading figure of the younger generation of Canglan Valley.
In the past, Mo Tianlan had broken through to the Qi Hai Realm in his twenties, and he even had the strength to almost enter the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Unfortunately, the Ranking List of Young Masters was ranked according to battle records. Without enough battle records, even if you had the strength, you would not be able to be ranked on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Now, after five years of seclusion, Mo Tianlan had broken through to the Spirit Aperture Realm. His strength was even more unfathomable. With Mo Tianlan here, let's see how this Meng Qingze can still be arrogant!
Yan Shuheng thought so, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He greeted, "Cousin, I didn't expect that the person who came this time would be you."
But who knew that Mo Tianlan did not even get off the horse. He said lightly, "Yan Shuheng, after so many years, you still haven't made any progress. You actually haven't broken through to the Innate Realm."
The smile on Yan Shuheng's face suddenly froze, and he laughed and said, "How can I have such talent like you, cousin? I'm afraid that even among the younger generation of the entire Xiangnan Wulin, cousin, you are also the well-deserved leader."
But just as his voice fell, a fiery red whip shadow whistled over and directly lashed Yan Shuheng's face. Immediately, half of his face was drawn with a bloody scar, and the pain was numb.
"How dare you! Who is it!? " Yan Shuheng turned around and roared. How dare you attack me in Merchant Mountain City. Did you eat the heart of a bear or the heart of a leopard?
"Humph! Yan Shuheng, I don't care if you flatter Mo Tianlan, but among the younger generation of the Xiangnan Wulin, it's not his turn to be the leader! " A clear voice like a silver bell sounded. Even if it was a cold snort, it gave people a kind of charming and hot feeling.
A steed that seemed to be as red as fire appeared in front of Yan Shuheng.
That was the Red Flame Horse, a specialty of Xiliang. One horse was worth tens of millions of gold, and it was a priceless treasure.
And on the Red Flame Horse, a fiery red woman stood quietly. She was wearing a red tassel dress, but her snow-white waist was exposed. Her black eyebrows were picturesque, and she looked like a fairy in the world.
She held a long red whip in her hand, and it was she who lashed Yan Shuheng just now. At this time, Yan Zhongheng also followed behind her, revealing a mocking smile at Yan Shuheng.
Seeing this woman, Yan Shuheng immediately lost his anger. This time, he said the wrong thing, so there was nothing he could do.
This woman was the person behind Yan Zhongheng from the Fire Sect, and her identity was even more extraordinary. She was the Saintess of the Fire Sect.
In the Fire Sect, besides the Sect Leader and a few Deputy Sect Leaders, the person with the most power was this Saintess.
Moreover, if this Saintess did not marry, she could even directly be promoted to Sect Leader. In history, there were more than ten Saintesses who successfully became Sect Leaders. It could be said that the position of the Saintess was similar to the position of the successor of the Sect Leader.
The name of the Saintess in front of him was Lan Yudie. Although her name was delicate, she was famous for being hot and not to be trifled with.
Although she was a woman, she was unusually competitive. When she had nothing to do, her greatest joy was to find the younger generation disciples of various sects to compete with.
Someone had once proposed to the Fire Sect to bring Lan Yudie back, but almost everyone who dared to propose to her was seriously injured by her.
According to her, unless there was a man who could truly defeat her, she would not marry for the rest of her life!
Lan Yudie was not even thirty years old this year, but she had already opened up her Eye Aperture. Her cultivation speed was even faster than Mo Tianlan's. Among the younger generation of Xiangnan Wulin, there was really no one who could subdue her.
Yan Shuheng rubbed his face. He had suffered for nothing. In front of Lan Yudie, he said that Mo Tianlan was the leader of the younger generation of Xiangnan Wulin. It would be strange if he did not get beaten up.
Mo Tianlan frowned and said, "Lan Yudie, no matter how useless Yan Shuheng is, he is still my cousin. You hit him in front of me. Isn't it a bit too much?"
Lan Yudie snorted and said, "I hit him. What can you do? If you are not convinced, let's have a fight. It's a good opportunity to see what you have become after five years of seclusion. "
Mo Tianlan rubbed his head with a headache. He knew that he could not reason with this woman at all.
This time, they came to help Yan Shuheng fight for the position of the City Lord. He did not have the leisure to fight with this crazy woman Lan Yudie here.
"Oh, it's quite lively today. All of you came early." A slightly ostentatious voice sounded out, and then another two groups of people came in from the city gate.
One group of people was followed by Yan Chengheng, and all of them carried two sabers on their backs. They were the members of the Thousand Artifact Divine Saber Sect.
The leader of the Thousand Artifact Divine Saber Sect was a young man with a proud expression. The gold and silver sabers on his back flickered, and they seemed to be extremely extraordinary.
The other group of people was led by a white clothed young master.
The young master had a handsome appearance and a sword hung on his waist. He had a very good appearance, but his peach blossom eyes were slightly frivolous. His gaze ceaselessly swept past Lan Yudie's exposed snow white waist and beautiful peaks, and he revealed a puzzled gaze.
"Thousand Artifact Divine Saber Sect's Ling Tao, Nine Radiance Sword Sect's Fang Chenyu. Both of you aren't late." Mo Tianlan spoke indifferently.
These two groups of people were the Thousand Artifact Divine Saber Sect and the Nine Radiance Sword Sect that stood behind Yan Chengheng.
Lan Yudie's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of detest when she sensed the gaze of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect's Fang Chenyu. Her hand that held the whip emanated a wave of heat as she swung it, causing a strand of flames to instantly explode out and blast open a one meter deep hole on the ground.
"Fang Chenyu, put away that disgusting gaze of yours. Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Lan Yudie spoke in a cold voice.
Fang Chenyu roared with laughter when he heard Lan Yudie's warning, and he withdrew his gaze.
Besides a madwoman like Lan Yudie, all of them were thinking about how to seize the position of Merchant Mountain City's Governor at this moment, and they didn't have the mood to waste time with Lan Yudie.
There was only a single position of Merchant Mountain City's Governor, and all of them wanted the person they supported to become the new Governor of Merchant Mountain City. It was impossible for them to cooperate with each other, so they just spoke a few words of nonsense at the city gate before turning around and leaving.
Yan Shuheng brought Mo Tianlan and the others back to his residence, and then Mo Tianlan said indifferently, "Tell me about the current situation in Merchant Mountain City. I've just come out from my closed door cultivation, so I don't know much about what happened here."
Yan Shuheng immediately told Mo Tianlan about the current situation in Merchant Mountain City in detail, and he waited for Mo Tianlan's reply.
Mo Tianlan pondered deeply for a moment before he said, "Now that I speak of it, your loss this time is really unjust. Do you know exactly how much effort our Mo Clan exhausted to make Mingjian Villa sell the 5,000kg Dark Essence Heavy Iron? Who would have imagined that you would actually make such a low level mistake and mess everything up? "
Yan Shuheng instantly revealed an embarrassed expression because this mistake of his was indeed the lowest level, and it was a mistake that no one had expected.
Mo Tianlan snorted coldly, "Originally, if you had become the successor and had the upper hand, our Mo Clan only needed to send people to help you stabilize the order in Merchant Mountain City, and the others wouldn't dare to act recklessly. At that time, you would naturally sit in the position of Governor.
But now, you've lost the position of Governor, and I still have to deal with that Yan Qingxue first before I can help you take the position. This additional process requires a lot of effort. "
