The divine bird had infuriated Zhang Yingshi, but the divine bird was slow to realize it. It stood on Ye Qinghan's shoulder with a smug look.
Ye Qinghan looked at Zhang Yingshi's undulating breasts and felt embarrassed. He quickly stopped the divine bird from speaking any further. The four of them then headed towards the teleportation array.
…
Fire Beacon City. Countless merchant clans and sects rose up. Many small cities were built in Fire Beacon City. The villages near the main city were also developed.
However, as Fire Beacon City developed, there were more and more experts. There were even people who wanted to take over the city lord's seat.
There was no choice. Fire Beacon City didn't have any experts. The siblings, Qin Xuanxuan and Qin Xuanluo, couldn't suppress the various chiefs. It had been a few months, and they couldn't even collect a single consecration. The soldiers they sent were actually beaten back. When the major factions saw this, they all followed suit. This caused Fire Beacon City to not only lose its glory, but also decline.
In Fire Beacon City's main city, some merchant clans couldn't hold on any longer. Many people stopped paying consecration and even took the lead to create a ruckus.
In the Qin Clan, Qin Xuanluo and Qin Xuanxuan were extremely angry. They sat in the main hall and looked at the invitations. There were a total of 81 clans, and the contents of the invitations were surprisingly similar. It was obvious that they had a good discussion.
"This group of people is too much! They are clearly trying to take over the City Lord's Residence and make the 81 clans into a large group to control Fire Beacon City. They want to collect consecration and hand it over to the sword dao sacred ground. Instead, we have to hand over consecration to them. Outrageous! "
Qin Xuanluo smashed all the invitations and roared, "If Grandfather was still alive, who would dare to treat our Fire Beacon City like this?"
Qin Xuanxuan looked at the contents of the invitations and was so angry that he couldn't do anything. The sword dao sacred ground didn't care about the internal affairs of the main city. As long as the consecration was handed over, the survival of the fittest was the rule. Now that Fire Beacon City had declined, even though they won the Alchemist Association Headquarters, it seemed like they were working for someone else.
"Call for a clan meeting and see if there is still a chance. If it doesn't work, I will ask Mister for help. I don't believe they can overturn this place!" Qin Xuanxuan rebuked.
At this moment, the Qin Clan's housekeeper walked over and said with a helpless expression, "City Lord, the representatives of the eighty-one forces have requested for you to hand over the ownership of the Fire Beacon City's land deed. They are currently waiting for you in the Juxian Pavilion."
"You've gone too far!" Qin Xuan was so angry that her chest was trembling, and her jade-like hands were clenched tightly.
"This old man will go with you. Back then, when my elder brother was still alive, they still had some friendship with me. I don't think they would be so ruthless and heartless. It's fine if they don't pay tribute, but seizing power is going too far." The grand elder of the Qin Clan walked out. Qin Shuo, he was the strongest expert of the Qin Clan, a sector lord level 8 expert. However, facing so many powers, he was ultimately too weak. He couldn't even deal with one power and could only rely on his face.
Qin Xuanxuan and his sister had no choice but to try their best.
The three of them quickly headed to the House of Worthies in the main city.
Inside Juxian House.
The leaders of the eighty-one forces were all gathered. Most of them were old powers of Fire Beacon City. Sects, clans, trading companies, alchemy pavilions, everything was present. Back then, when they followed Qin Feng Huo to conquer the world, Qin Feng Huo still took care of them. However, now that the tree had fallen, the monkeys would scatter.
"Now that Qin Feng Huo is dead, do these brats of the Qin Clan still want to rely on two immature children to lead us? They must hand over the control of Fire Beacon City. With our eighty-one forces working together, Fire Beacon City will definitely be glorious! "The leader of the Wu Clan, Wu Zhengshuang, said domineeringly.
"That's right! Once we get the control, we only need to collect tribute and it will be enough to hand over to the sacred grounds. Our eighty-one forces will be exempt from tribute and we will only get stronger. Our Fire Beacon City's glory days will be just around the corner! "Another leader said confidently.
"Hahaha, the Qin Clan managed to win over the alchemist association to Fire Beacon City. It can be considered meritorious to Fire Beacon City. As long as they are willing to cooperate, we will allow them to become the emperor of the city. After giving us some tribute, we will allow them to continue living in the city lord manor. Otherwise … hmph, don't blame this old man for being impolite!" A burly man said coldly.
The Juxian Pavilion was in an uproar as discussions broke out.
"Everyone, how should we develop Fire Beacon City now that we have control over it? How should we collect the tribute? When the time comes, who will represent the eighty-one forces? "Wu Zhengshuang looked at the crowd with anticipation. It was obvious that he wanted to get his hands on the leader position.
When the tiger is not in the mountain, the monkeys will be the king. However, with so many monkeys, who will be the leader? Who wouldn't be looking forward to it?
They had yet to seize control of the city and yet they were already fighting for power. They were just a bunch of mobs.
Qin Xuanxuan, Qin Xuanluo, and Qin Shuo arrived at the Juxian Pavilion. When they saw the crowd discussing without restraint, they were furious. They pushed the door open and glared at the crowd.
"This Fire Beacon City still belongs to our Qin Clan. Aren't you guys looking down on our Qin Clan by dividing it so brazenly?" Qin Xuanluo questioned angrily.
"You little immature brat! Who allowed you to speak to your elders like this? Even if your grandfather Qin Feng Huo is here, he will still have to give us some face! "Wu Zhengshuang slammed the table and stood up.
"My brother's body is still cold and you guys want to rebel. Are you worthy of the care that my brother has given you all these years?" Qin Shuo asked angrily.
Wu Zhengshuang and the rest looked at Qin Shuo with disdain and sneered, "If it wasn't for your brother, do you still have the right to stand here and talk to us? We would have confiscated the Qin Clan long ago! "
Qin Xuanxuan looked around. He didn't expect that a force like the Shengling Trading Company wouldn't be willing to hand over the tribute. The branches of the other major forces were also present. With just these people, the Qin Clan wouldn't be able to resist. Even if Ye Qinghan was here, he would only be able to watch.
"Brother Qin Shuo, nephew Xuanluo, if you guys hand over the control of the city, we will definitely treat the Qin Clan well. You guys know how the Qin Clan controls Fire Beacon City now? Which force would be willing to submit to you? "A square-faced elder asked sternly.
"Grandfather Zheng, I didn't expect you to participate in the division of the Qin Clan's forces. Back then, my grandfather took special care of you. Otherwise, how could the Zheng Clan have been so glorious for so many years?" Qin Xuanxuan asked angrily.
"The situation is different now. This old man is grateful for Brother Fenghuo's care. As long as you guys are willing to hand over the power, this old man dares to guarantee that no one will harm the Qin Clan!" Zheng Clan's head Zheng Shizun said solemnly.
Everyone forced the issue. They didn't want to waste any more words with the Qin Clan. They had to take down Fire Beacon City today.
…
Ye Qinghan and the other three appeared outside Fire Beacon City. They stepped into the city side by side and the guards didn't dare to stop them.
"Let's go straight to the Shengling Trading Company." Jian Shisan suggested.
Ye Qinghan originally wanted to see Qin Xuanxuan, but he had to give up and went straight to the Shengling Trading Company branch.
When they arrived at the Shengling Trading Company branch, Jian Shisan revealed his identity and asked to see the branch's leader. However, the news he received was that the trading company's leader was discussing something at the Juxian Pavilion. The four couldn't be bothered to wait and went straight to the pavilion.
