We’re at the old principal now.
The old principal’s eyes are practically hungrily fixed on Lu Xiaobu.
Divine Body! Divine Body!
It’s an irresistible temptation for every cultivator.
Especially when there have already been three successful cases before, the desire is even more intense.
He hasn’t felt his heart beat so fast in years.
"I... Wind Spiritual Root, 38." The old principal’s voice was trembling.
"Uh..." Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched upon hearing the old principal’s words.
Wind Spiritual Root?
Darn, mutated spiritual root?!
Where am I supposed to get a divine body for you?!
But, looking at the old principal’s appearance, nearly having a brain hemorrhage from excitent, Lu Xiaobu hesitated to say it outright.
This guy, let’s hope his emotions don’t suddenly kill him.
The system watched coldly, sneering—ha, troubles, right? I knew this day would co; I’m not telling you!
Rember when the system told Lu Xiaobu about the Yin Yang attribute, and things didn’t end well, it’s still holding a grudge!
I’m not telling you!
It’ll drive you mad!
However, it’s clearly overthinking; is it driving Lu Xiaobu mad? No, it’s clearly driving the old principal mad!
Of course, he couldn’t care less, not telling you!
Lu Xiaobu decided to tell the old principal subtly: "Can’t do it!"
See, how subtle.
"Pfft!"
The old principal spat out a mouthful of old blood.
This isn’t just a turn of phrase; he actually spit blood.
Clutching his chest, he staggered back a few steps, glaring at Lu Xiaobu: "Why?"
"I can only manage the Five Elents," Lu Xiaobu said seriously.
Instantly, Liu Funing and the others showed sympathetic expressions.
This kind of sorrow is the greatest.
If he hadn’t seen it, he might have just been jealous to hear that soone had beco a Divine Body.
But he witnessed it firsthand, and not just once, but three tis.
And yet, for him!
Can’t do it!
How intense is the sorrow, you ask?!
The old principal felt like dying; he had always been proud of his mutated spiritual root.
And now, for the first ti, he hated it, why mutate his perfectly good spiritual root?!
Couldn’t it just be ordinary?!
While the old principal wallowed in his misery, Lu Xiaobu let him take it slowly.
He turned to the three City Lords who were already Divine Bodies and said: "You’ve received the benefits; now get to work."
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
Their attitude was a world apart from before!
They had clearly thought it through; their lives were in Lu Xiaobu’s hands, and they had no ability to resist.
But, you know, it still felt awkward, very uncomfortable!
Now, they had Divine Bodies; to hell with feeling awkward!
Accept it, especially when the benefits are so great—it only makes sense to be compliant.
Although they’ve beco Divine Bodies, if they make this master happy, maybe their children could also have a Divine Body!
"Quwu City!"
Lu Xiaobu said only these three words, and the three people instantly understood!
Leaving the old principal to mourn alone, the four headed straight to Quwu City!
...
anwhile, Quwu City was already in chaos!
The City Lord is dead!
This is definitely a major event, for those cultivators at least, as for the ordinary citizens?
Haha, whoever becos the City Lord is just a na change.
No one cares, just be careful on the streets not to accidentally get killed!
The City Lord Mansion in Quwu City was exploding with chaos!
Nothing special, just the usual power struggle.
Primarily, it’s split into three factions!
First faction: He Quwu’s son—He Long.
Second faction: Quwu City’s Deputy City Lord—Chen Feihuo.
Third faction: Quwu Academy’s principal—Ding Leiwu.
Each of the three has their own reasons for wanting to rise to the position.
He Long—no need to explain, he’s the son.
Chen Feihuo—I was the deputy before, now the City Lord’s gone, of course I should be the City Lord! What does young He Long know anyway!
Ding Leiwu—Really? Who doesn’t know the most important elent in the city is the Martial Arts School? If I don’t cooperate, what can you achieve even in that position!
Look, everyone’s gearing up!
All wanting to rise to power!
He Long is exhausted—my dad died, can’t you all mourn? And here you are, fighting for power?
Truth be told, he’s not particularly eager to vie for this position.
He’s not foolish, just a Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator, not even at the Golden Core yet. Even if he becos the City Lord, can he handle it? It’d only be as a puppet.
He’d rather save his life than seek power.
Just as they were quarreling, soone arrived outside Quwu City.
This person floated in the air, mocking: "You’re all about to be wiped out by soone else, yet you’re still thinking about who’ll be City Lord."
This person is none other than the Zhanlong Sect Master—Bi Helai, who was just chased away like a rabbit by Liu Funing and the others!
He stewed and stewed after going back, feeling increasingly vexed!
Crap! He was ambushed?!
Those old fellows have gone mad!
This won’t do; I need to settle the score!
He clearly saw the body of the City Lord of Quwu City there.
He’s no fool, quickly deducing that his opponent will surely attack Quwu City, linking the four cities together.
So, he ca over to say this.
...
"Bi Helai, what do you an?!"
The Deputy City Lord stepped forward, watching Bi Helai warily.
They’re not strangers, they know each other.
Bi Helai is not soone to ss with.
Compared to his words, he trusts the chaos is just Bi Helai taking advantage of the city’s turmoil.
"Here’s the situation..."
Bi Helai didn’t care about his gaze and recounted the events matter-of-factly.
Then he left, without lingering.
He didn’t go back to the Zhanlong Sect, just found a place to wait. Once the fight starts here, he’ll seize an opportunity, see if he can take down one or two.
After Bi Helai finished speaking, everyone in Quwu City was stunned.
Is this how it is?!
Actually, it’s not implausible; He Quwu went to find Hu Nanshan, and later was killed, aligning with what Bi Helai said.
So what should be done?
The opponents have four Golden Core Late Stage cultivators!
They’ve only got two!
That’s where the Deputy City Lord’s cunning cos in, his eyes shifting: "I suggest He Long becos City Lord, it’s the natural succession for a son!"
As he said this, others wondered, but the principal of Nanshan Academy caught on and quickly added: "Nanshan Academy supports He Long; succession is the rightful path!"
Both are shrewd, whether Bi Helai’s words are true or not, have He Long take the hit!
If true, well, He Long deserves it.
If false, he’s just Foundation Establishnt Stage, anyti he can be killed.
Even if they preserve so nostalgia and don’t kill him, having him as a puppet is quite manageable!
He Long: "...Go to hell! Now you support ?!"
