The issue of the Underground Arena Competition, the turmoil gradually subsides.
Lately, the once stagnant Huangquan City has suddenly been stirred into commotion.
This commotion is due to the Acting City Lord of Huangquan City.
It is said that this Acting City Lord descended out of thin air, and there are many rumors about her true identity. So say she is neither male nor female, hidden under an ugly armor.
So say she is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, therefore winning the heart of the President of the Heroic Society at first sight.
Upon taking office, she did a few earth-shattering things.
The first was the imposition of the so-called ’head tax’, instantly generating millions in revenue from within Huangquan City.
The second was confiscation; several rchant shops, including those of Jin Wannian Comrce, were absorbed into the City Lord’s Mansion.
The third was repairing the city gates and recruiting soldiers.
These three policies caused a great uproar in the city.
Initially, there were so troublemakers who were unwilling to obey, but upon seeing that the Heroic Society obediently paid their taxes, those troublemakers dared not make a scene in public.
As for confiscation, the chairman of Jin Wannian Comrce was already missing due to bankruptcy.
Outside Huangquan City, at a dilapidated low pavilion, the fallen and fleeing Chairman Jin wore a sinister expression.
Surrounding him were dozens of n and won, all filled with anger.
These people were shop owners or veteran Demon Hunters from Huangquan City.
They initially ca to Huangquan City because the City Lord was incompetent, allowing them freedom and indulgence.
The greatest ’victims’ of Ye Lingyue’s head tax were them; their benefits were stripped away, and so illegal dealings were forced to a halt. Coupled with Chairman Jin’s instigation, these people gathered together, plotting how to remove that ungrateful Acting City Lord from position.
"This entire incident is caused by that Acting City Lord, Ye Lingyue. As long as we kill her, Huangquan City will still be ours."
Chairman Jin incited.
"But Chairman, the rumor is that the Acting City Lord has a close relationship with President Bao of the Heroic Society. If we kill her, won’t we anger the Heroic Society?"
"Bah, a bunch of scaredy-cats. As for Bo Qing, I have my ways. Tomorrow afternoon, I will find a way to temporarily lure Bo Qing away from Huangquan City, and you all can attack the city while he’s gone. Huangquan City has just started recruiting, there’s no possible way it can defend a city. By then, we will take over Huangquan City, kill Ye Lingyue, and even if Bo Qing has imnse power, he won’t be able to do anything to us."
Chairman Jin’s eyes revealed a murderous gleam.
The Demon Hunters were still hesitant.
"Why are you hesitating? Don’t you trust the Jin Family? Don’t forget, I am a Jin Family mber."
Upon Chairman Jin’s words, the other Demon Hunters nodded.
Indeed, how can a re Acting City Lord compare to the Outer Heaven Jin Family?
The group imdiately decided that as long as Bo Qing leaves the city tomorrow afternoon, they would unite and attack Huangquan City.
After these people dispersed.
Chairman Jin coughed a few tis.
"Beautiful one, you should be satisfied with this plan, right?"
As Chairman Jin finished speaking, the surrounding air rippled, revealing a person.
The person had fiery red, wavy long hair, eyes full of beautiful sharpness, like a blazing fire, her beauty could scorch the eyes of n.
This person was the Deputy President Tan Su of the Heroic Society.
Tan Su casually flicked her hair, emanating a captivating allure.
Chairman Jin watched, eyes glazing, wishing to offer his heart to Tan Su.
Over two years ago, he had beco one of Tan Su’s admirers.
For Tan Su, Chairman Jin was even willing to disregard the Jin Family, and Tan Su was the biggest behind-the-scenes owner of Jin Wannian Comrce now. Naturally, Bo Qing and others in the Heroic Society knew nothing about this.
"To be satisfied or not, wait until you kill Ye Lingyue. No, killing her isn’t enough; before that, make them humiliate her. That woman is truly an eyesore."
Tan Su’s eyes darkened as she looked toward Huangquan City, speaking with resentnt.
In her Beauty Snake Woman guise, Tan Su’s appearance was so terrifying that even Chairman Jin shivered, witnessing firsthand the saying ’the most vicious is a woman’s heart’.
"Beautiful, what did that ugly girl do to offend you, for you to hate her so much?"
"Bla her for being ungrateful, seducing Bo Qing and still wanting to lay hands on the treasure within the Qiulin Ruins. Bo Qing and that treasure will forever belong to , Tan Su alone."
Tan Su’s blood-red lips shimred with a sinister light.
That noon, Bo Qing received an urgent notice that the subunits of the Heroic Society in other affiliate cities were attacked by unidentified individuals, and both he and Deputy President Tan Su rushed over.
Shortly after noon, several suspicious figures poured out from all directions of the city gates.
Simultaneously converging toward a certain place within the city.
Chairman Jin and his group had received reliable news that Ye Lingyue would be at this place today to confiscate shops.
Just monts earlier, Chairman Jin’s informant personally saw Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun entering the shop together.
Ahead, at a shop located in the bustling market, amid a throng of people, no one anticipated the ensuing massacre.
Chairman Jin led a brigade of ferocious Demon Hunters, numbering several hundred, his gaze cold and lips curling with lewd intent.
"First violate the won, then kill; behead the n, leave none alive."
The band of Demon Hunters charged forward with intensity.
As the Demon Hunters reached the shop entrance, suddenly, soone ambled out slowly from within.
The person’s face resembled charred coal, only the pair of eyes and a set of teeth shone brilliantly.
None other than Ye Lingyue, the Acting City Lord of Huangquan City.
They say enemies eting face-to-face beco agitated; Chairman Jin gritted his teeth, wanting to crush Ye Lingyue’s bones and devour her alive.
"Oh my, Chairman Jin, you brought so many people; seems like you’re ready for a brawl."
Ye Lingyue, on the contrary, radiated brightness like sunshine, as though Chairman Jin and the hundreds of Demon Hunters were sparkling Spirit Stones.
"Ye Lingyue, your death is imminent. This ti, I refuse to believe anyone can save you."
Chairman Jin saw Ye Lingyue alone; with no chance she could muster enough people instantly.
Moreover, the Heroic Society’s main force was absent from the city.
Chairman Jin raised his hand, and the accompanying Demon Hunters brandished their Spiritual Artifacts, poised to charge forward.
"Hold on!"
Ye Lingyue made a gesture.
"Chairman Jin, before you act, you might want to reconsider. Being outnumbered is really embarrassing, isn’t it?"
"Forget the embarrassnt, outnumbering is my talent, kill her, violate first then kill."
Chairman Jin snarled.
