Chapter 895

About an hour later.

Inside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, it was noisy and chaotic.

More than a dozen men dressed in all kinds of clothing sat around a huge stone table. Each of them held a black stone cup in their hands, swirling the Scale Beast's blood inside as they chatted happily with each other.

Chen Yang sat closest to the main seat, one hand caressing the stone cup, the other hidden in his sleeve, but he never drank the blood from the cup. Even when acquaintances came over to toast him, he would only symbolically bring the stone cup to his lips and then put it down.

On the stone table beside him, there was a black stone box that was not small in size, and it was sealed tightly.

"Captain Chen Yang, what's going on? The city lord suddenly asked you to gather all of us here. Is there something important that he wants to announce? Can you let me know first?" A tall man with protruding fangs and wearing white bone armor asked with a big grin.

"Captain Mou Lin, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I really don't know.

Don't worry, everyone is not here yet. When everyone is here, the City Lord will naturally say it. "Chen Yang replied with a smile.

The man heard this and just smiled, no longer saying anything.

At this time, the main hall's door was slowly pushed open by a Youth with a bull horn tattoo on his cheek. Then, three people walked in one after another.

The first to come in was a big man with a single horn. If Han Li saw him, he would certainly not be unfamiliar with him. He was the person who presided over the 9th district's Mysterious Fighting Arena.

Following closely behind him were two devilish men in crimson robes. One of them had a round face while the other had a square face, and both of them were holding a thick book in their hands and a vermillion brush in their hands. They were none other than the two Records Officers.

"Big Brother Chen, except for those who went out to hunt, everyone else is here." After the three people came in, the tattooed Youth looked at Chen Yang and transmitted his voice.

Chen Yang nodded silently. The Youth walked out and closed the stone door.

After waiting for the three people to take their seats, Chen Yang was still not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he silently looked at the people in the main hall.

After waiting for a long time, someone finally lost his patience.

A horned man from the Devil race asked, "Chen Yang, what the hell are you doing? You gathered everyone and said the city lord had something to announce. Why hasn't the city lord appeared yet?"

As soon as he said that, the noise in the hall quieted down. Everyone turned to look at Chen Yang.

"Captain Xiong Pi, why are you so impatient to wait for the City Lord for a while? Why don't you drink a few mouthfuls of the Flower Scale Beast's blood to calm yourself down? In the past, the City Lord wouldn't bear to let us drink this stuff," Chen Yang said with a smile.

The red-faced man named Xiong Pi, who had two horns on his head, picked up a heavy stone cup and drank another mouthful of beast blood.

When they were almost done drinking the beast blood in the stone cups, Du Qingyang slowly stood up and walked to the main seat of the stone table, the seat that only Du Qingyang could sit on in the past. Du Qingyang sat down in a dignified manner.

The crowd didn't notice him at first, but they were quickly attracted by his extremely unreasonable actions. They all looked over with strange expressions, and the entire hall instantly quieted down.

"Chen Yang, how dare you sit on that seat! Are you courting death?" At this time, the man named Mou Lin suddenly slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily.

"You bastard, hurry up and get down!" Following that, another two captains stood up and glared angrily at Chen Yang.

Seeing this, Chen Yang didn't move. He just lazily stretched and slowly sat up straight.

"Everyone, please don't be impatient. Listen to me first.

There is only one important matter that the City Lord has to announce today. "At this point, he paused and slowly swept his gaze across the crowd.

The people in the hall didn't understand what was going on with Chen Yang today, and they all quietly waited for him to finish.

"Du Qingyang feels that he is not worthy of the position, and wants to abdicate the City Lord's position to me!"

As soon as Chen Yang said this, it was like a sudden clap of thunder. The entire hall immediately exploded.

"What did you say? Abdicate the position to you?" Xiong Pi raised her eyebrows and raised her voice.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you dream of the City Lord's position!" Another person shouted.

"Chen Yang, are you trying to rebel?" Mou Lin kicked away the stone chair beside him and said sternly.

"Crazy, he must be crazy!"

There was a loud thud.

Chen Yang slammed his palm on the stone table and suddenly stood up.

The stone table immediately made "ka ka" sounds, and a spider web of cracks instantly spread out.

Seeing this, everyone stood up in shock.

"Everyone, why don't you seek confirmation from the City Lord and see if I have lost my mind?" Chen Yang's gaze swept across the crowd and said coldly.

"Where is the City Lord? I want to see him!" Mou Lin shouted loudly.

"You want to see the City Lord? That's easy." The corner of Chen Yang's mouth curled up into a smile, and he raised his hand to push.

The black stone box in front of him was pushed away by his palm, and it rolled a few times on the table. With a "pa" sound, the box's lid opened, and the "thing" inside fell out.

Shockingly, it was a head that was full of dirt and had been split into two.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.

Mou Lin's eyes widened, and he forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart. He raised his hand and pushed aside the messy hair on the half head, revealing a dirty and incomplete face. It was the City Lord of Qingyang City, Du Qingyang!

"City Lord!" Xiong Pi exclaimed.

Everyone's expressions changed, and their reactions were all different in that instant.

Only Mou Lin and Xiong Pi glared angrily at the City Lord, while the majority of the people were terrified and at a loss of what to do.

The two Records Officers looked at each other, and the hands holding the books and pens in their hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

On the other hand, the single-horned man's eyes were calm, and he seemed to be relatively calm.

"Chen Yang, you deserve to die for murdering your City Lord!" Mou Lin's eyes turned cold, and he gritted his teeth.

"Everyone, the City Lord is dead, and the murderer is Chen Yang. Let us join forces to kill him and avenge the City Lord!" Xiong Pi's eyes flashed as he spoke.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward.

The reason why Du Qingyang could become the City Lord was that he relied more on his military strength. Of course, there were some people who were loyal to him, but not all of them were loyal to him.

"I, Mou Lin, am willing to appoint anyone who can kill this thief as the new City Lord!" Seeing this, Mou Lin roared.

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed subtly. Many people began to eagerly step forward, trying to surround Chen Yang in the center.

"You want to kill me? Can you do it?" Chen Yang's expression didn't change as he asked in a clear voice.

Saying this, the stone door of the hall was violently smashed open, and the tattooed Youth led a dozen strong young men in bone armor and rushed in, surrounding Mou Lin and the others in the center.

"Chen Yang, do you think you can accomplish anything with just these small fries?" Xiong Pi sneered.

Saying this, he clenched his fists, and a gust of Gang Qi was released from his body. "Peng peng" sounds were heard on his body, and one by one, the Xuan acupoints lit up.

However, after a dozen or so sounds, the sounds came to an abrupt end.

Not only did Xiong Pi's Xuan acupoints no longer light up, his body went limp, and he directly fell to the ground.

Then, the sound of people falling to the ground could be heard continuously in the main hall. One by one, figures fell to the ground and lay on the ground in disorder. The only ones left standing were Chen Yang and the people brought by the tattooed young man.

"The Flower Scale Beast's blood contains the bone powder of a White Xuan Beast!" Xiong Pi struggled to support his upper body, and said in a trembling voice.

Chen Yang picked up his cup of beast blood, walked to Xiong Pi's side, and poured it bit by bit on his face.

"Don't you think it's too late to find out now?" Chen Yang sneered and said slowly.

Xiong Pi sighed heavily, and lay down.

Chen Yang ignored him, and slowly walked past him, saying, "Everyone, what do you say now? Are you going to be a loyal subject and follow Du Qingyang, or are you going to share this great Qingyang City with me?"

The hall was dead silent, and it was dead silent.

In the side hall next door.

"Looks like Daoist Gu's guess is correct. This Chen Yang already had a plan for today's matter. He had us in this side hall not because he wanted us to help, but because he wanted to show us his skills." Han Li listened to the movements in the hall and said with a smile.

"The reason why I chose to conspire with this person that day was because I could see that this person's ambition was not small, and he was not someone who would live under others for long.

Although working with this kind of person can yield twice the results with half the effort, the slightest bit of carelessness can cause one to suffer a backlash. "Gu Qianxun said lightly.

At this moment, in the hall, after a short period of silence, Chen Yang's voice suddenly rang out.

"Everyone, don't worry. If you are willing to follow me, I will give you more than Du Qingyang in the future. I will definitely not mistreat you.

However, if you are disloyal, then you are courting death. "

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure slightly blurred, and in an instant, he appeared beside a short, skinny old man. With a heavy stomp, he directly stepped on the old man's wrist, turning it into a bloody mess.

He let out a groan, and his tightly clenched hand slowly opened up, revealing a strange white bone the size of a palm.

"The star bone of the Exploding Scale Beast contains such dense star energy. This is really rare, Daoist Wu Heng. Why didn't I realize that you were so loyal to Du Qingyang in the past? You actually wanted to detonate this star bone and risk your life to injure me." Chen Yang slowly said as he picked up the white bone.

"City Lord Du saved my life. Since I cannot fulfill my duty in this life, I will be loyal in death.

If you want to kill me or torture me, do as you please. "The old man gritted his teeth and said powerlessly.

"Chen Yang, do you think that by killing City Lord Du, you can replace him? How can the main city recognize a traitor like you? When the time comes, as long as the main city's envoy arrives, how good will your end be?" Xiong Pi closed her eyes and sneered.

"Haha, I really have to trouble the two of you to think for me.

It's a pity that Xuan City has never cared about the unrest of its subordinate cities. As long as the tributes are not delayed, will they care whether the Qingyang City Lord's surname is Du or Chen? "Chen Yang laughed loudly.

"Forget it. Just kill me." Wu Heng heard this and understood. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he said this.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang's fist rapidly descended and landed on his lower abdomen.
