Swish!
As the words fell, Qin Yang carried Ao Wu's figure and flew directly to the Town Central Square a thousand ters beside the Lord's Mansion.
The Town Central Square is the most prosperous area of Wind Ridge Town, where countless stalls are set up, attracting a multitude of cultivators.
However, since the stall fees increased, the number of cultivators setting up stalls has decreased by about two or three out of ten. At this mont, there are still over a thousand cultivators gathered here.
Whoosh!
Just as these thousand cultivators are shopping or selling in front of the stalls, a streak of light suddenly shoots over, standing directly in mid-air above the town square.
Here, the cultivators throughout the entire Wind Ridge Town can see clearly.
Right then, in Wind Ridge Town, over ten thousand cultivators, all their gazes filled with shock and confusion, looked toward the two figures that suddenly appeared above the Town Central Square.
"What's that person holding in his hand?"
"Looks like Vice Lord Ao Wu."
"Who on earth is that young man, to have Ao Wu soaking wet, being held like a dead dog."
"That Ao Wu hasn't been in lack of greed; he finally gets what's coming to him."
"..."
Upon seeing the two figures mid-air, many voices of shock and discussion arose.
In mid-air, Qin Yang's expression is indifferent as he gazes at Ao Wu,
"You, you…"
The look of fear in Ao Wu's eyes intensifies, clearly, the young man before him is about to take real action.
"You can't harm , I'm about to... breakthrough to the Immortal Venerable Realm, you..."
Ao Wu's face turned red as he exclaid.
"Humph."
Qin Yang sneered coldly.
The next mont, without mincing words, Qin Yang suddenly swung his right hand gripping Ao Wu's neck.
Swish!
Ao Wu's fat figure plumted from the air like a heavy stone, crashing heavily into the center of the square.
Bang!
The hard stone slabs in the center of the square imdiately shattered, revealing a deep pit.
In the pit, Ao Wu's clothes were in tatters, looking bedraggled as he lay in the pit.
The surrounding cultivators were startled by this scene.
You must know, Ao Wu is a Half-Step Immortal Venerable Realm expert, yet at the hands of that figure, he was like a helpless dead dog.
Many eyes glanced at the embarrassing Ao Wu in the pit, then simultaneously looked up at the white-robed figure in mid-air.
At this ti, Qin Yang's gaze held a touch of majesty as he swept his eyes over the cultivators in Wind Ridge Town.
"I am Qin Yang, the newly appointed lord of Wind Ridge Town, just assuming my position today. This Ao Wu had the audacity to falsely convey the lord's decree, privately raising the entrance fee and stall fee, and embezzling the House Guard's monthly salaries."
Qin Yang's voice was slightly cold, enveloped in Divine Sense, clearly transmitted to the ears of every single one of the ten thousand cultivators in Wind Ridge Town.
"So it was Ao Wu who privately embezzled the stall fees."
"The entrance fee was also raised by Ao Wu privately."
"This guy's heart is truly black."
"..."
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, the discussions imdiately grew louder, especially among vendors, as the increase in entrance fees and stall fees had reduced their profits significantly.
"Such heinous misconduct must be rectified with warning, thus today his cultivation shall be abolished!"
Qin Yang glanced at Ao Wu in the pit, speaking coldly.
"Abolish my cultivation? You, you can't do this..."
In the pit, Ao Wu's chubby face changed dramatically, his eyes filled with terror. Imdiately, his fat figure struggled to stand, and stomping the ground with his feet, he flew into the air, attempting to escape this place.
"Humph."
Seeing this, Qin Yang snorted coldly. He waved his palm in the air towards Ao Wu, and a hand engulfed in crimson flas struck down upon Ao Wu.
Boom!
Ao Wu's figure crashed heavily again onto the square, his clothes showing a touch of charred black, and his aura beca entirely listless.
Swish!
The next mont, Qin Yang's gaze grew cold, pointing a finger in the air towards Ao Wu, an icy white light streaked straight out.
"You..."
In Ao Wu's fearful pupils, and amidst the shocked gazes of a thousand cultivators in the town center, the icy white light pierced directly through Ao Wu's Dantian.
The Spiritual Power Lake within Ao Wu's Dantian imdiately shattered, and his cultivation was abolished on the spot.
"Pfft."
Ao Wu's chubby face flushed red, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, then his eyes rolled back, fainting in the pit.
"Gulp."
Seeing a Half-Step Immortal Venerable Realm Ao Wu having his cultivation abolished with just one finger by that white-robed youth.
Many swallowing sounds echoed imdiately, then nurous gazes, filled with dense awe, looked up toward the white-robed figure in mid-air.
"In this Wind Ridge Town, should anyone dare to falsely pass the Lord's decree again, next ti, there will be no rcy!"
Qin Yang's gaze swept across the entire Wind Ridge Town, his cold voice echoing in the ears of the ten thousand cultivators in Wind Ridge Town.
Upon hearing Qin Yang's cold voice, the hearts of the cultivators in Wind Ridge Town thudded simultaneously, and imdiately, voices rose from all over Wind Ridge Town, respectfully saying, "Yes, Lord."
"For all those previously overcharged stall fees, during the next collection, you need not pay the extra portion. For the few extra Spirit Stones previously charged as entry fee, you can enter the town several tis for free at your discretion, and as for the Spirit Stones embezzled from the House Guard, I will personally distribute them."
That clear voice tinged with dignity resounded in the ears of all the cultivators in Wind Ridge Town, causing many cultivators to be greatly shaken.
Dealing with Ao Wu earlier was to make an example of him, and the latter words were ant to balance kindness with authority, truly winning these cultivators' sincere allegiance.
"Thank you, Lord."
In Wind Ridge Town, a group of cultivators showed delight, respectfully saying.
Seeing this, Qin Yang nodded, then his gaze flicked to the unconscious Ao Wu, and suction erged from his right hand, directly grasping his Storage Bag.
Swish!
The next mont, Qin Yang's figure flashed and landed back in front of the Lord's Mansion.
In front of the Lord's Mansion, those eight black-armored guards naturally heard Qin Yang's speech, their embezzled Spirit Stones would be fully distributed.
"Thank you, Lord, for standing up for us."
Right then, the eight black-armored guards all knelt on one knee towards Qin Yang, grateful.
"Hmm, later on, tally up how much was embezzled from you all and report it to ."
Qin Yang said to the captain of the black-armored guards.
"Yes, Lord."
The captain of the black-armored guards, filled with joy, replied respectfully.
After Qin Yang's figure disappeared from above the Town Central Square, discussions erupted all over Wind Ridge Town.
"Great, the stall fees don't need to be overpaid anymore."
"That Ao Wu is truly a scoundrel, now that he's been ruined, tsk tsk, life will be tough for him."
"This new Lord is so imposing, a Half-Step Immortal Venerable can't resist him at all."
"…"
Many cultivators showed satisfaction because of Qin Yang's words, discussing.
Thanks to Ao Wu, Qin Yang had already established so prestige just upon entering Wind Ridge Town.
As the group of cultivators talked, suddenly, a cultivator realized sothing else.
"Right, our new Lord just introduced himself as 'Qin Yang,' that na sounds very familiar…"
"Yes, isn't the Lord the one who killed the Water and Fire Dual Venerable and drove away the Blood Evil Sect's Moon Elder?"
"It's indeed the sa person, I happened to be at the Death Battle Arena in Celestial Cyan City and saw the Lord's fight with Yuan Ming."
A Middle Stage Immortal Spirit Realm cultivator nodded in confirmation.
"This might be problematic, the Blood Evil Sect has already issued a warrant for him in our Great Xia Dynasty, why did the Lord suddenly reveal his identity?"
"Yuan Ming was crippled, and the Blood Moon Elder escaped heavily injured, knowing the Blood Evil Sect's ways, they surely won't let this slide."
"Who knows, since the Lord dared to show himself, he must rely on sothing."
"True, but the Blood Evil Sect isn't an ordinary small force, they have several Immortal Venerable Realm experts."
"Whatever, may the Divine Battles not affect us."
"..."
Just as the cultivators in Wind Ridge Town were discussing the events that had just happened, Qin Yang had already entered the Lord's Mansion.
From now on, this Lord's Mansion would be his.
