The Xuanwu Lake City Lord Competition is almost over.
After nearly a hundred years of various comparisons, the last one hundred city lords were eliminated and they are not able to participate in this competition.
Then comes the challenge competition among 2,900 city lords.
This is a major event that happens once every hundred years. Guangzhou has hosted such events countless times over the years and is now very familiar with it.
That morning, the teleportation array became misty and waves of energy surged. Someone in Greater Guangzhou reported that someone had arrived from Xuanwu Lake.
The state lord Nangong Fan quickly led his assistants, including Marshal Xianyu Yunyong, to the teleportation array to welcome the visitors from Xuanwu Lake. Xuanwu Lake is the controller of the Xuanwu Lake area and the controller of the north of the Four Divine Beasts Continent. All ninety states belong to Xuanwu Lake. It is the spiritual totem and the center of strength of the Xuanwu Lake area.
The people coming from Xuanwu Lake are equivalent to imperial envoys coming to inspect, so the officials below must of course treat them with caution.
Otherwise, even if Xuanwu Lake removes a state lord not as quickly and swiftly as the dynasty removes an official, it can still shake the state lord's position. In addition, as state lords, they can leave spiritual marks on the Xuanwu tortoise shell in Xuanwu Lake, and rely on the spiritual marks to control the state lord.
There were waves of energy fluctuations on the teleportation array. When it finally stopped, Nangong Fan discovered that there were more than twenty people in total entering the teleportation array.
After a careful look, he recognized them. They were the four elders of the four major families of Xuanwu Lake. They were all wearing the costumes of their respective families, carrying the logo of Xuanwu Lake and the family emblem. There was also Xie Xinghan, the holy son of the Xie family, four or five elders of Xuanwu Lake, and then the servants of the four major families.
Nangong Fan and the others didn't dare to neglect them. They stepped forward with a smile on their faces and bowed to them, saying, "Guangzhou State Lord Nangong Fan greets you all."
This trip to Guangzhou was led by the Xie family. The elder of the Xie family was only a one-star True God, but his identity was clear: the imperial envoy of Xuanwu Lake.
What’s more, the genius of the Xie family is very young. He was promoted to a true god at the age of 3,000. He is the most outstanding figure in the Xie family, the son of God of Xuanwu Lake, and has the status of an elder.
Xie Tianshu looked at Nangong Fan and smiled slightly: "Lord Nangong is too polite. In recent years, Greater Guangzhou has been fighting against the demons, developing rapidly, and its strength has increased significantly. Lord Lake asked me to give you my regards."
Nangong Fan laughed loudly: "That's because the lake owner is wise and Xuanwu Lake has good leadership. If we have done anything wrong in Greater Guangzhou, please give us more advice."
Their figures became misty and disappeared into space, and they arrived at the office hall of Nangong Fan, the Lord of Greater Guangzhou.
Of course, it is inevitable to give benefits to each elder, and also to the accompanying personnel. This is the official practice, and Nangong Fan is no exception.
Then there is the warm hospitality of Guangzhou to people coming from Xuanwu Lake, which goes without saying.
After the banquet was over, Xie Tianshu sent someone to call the governor over.
Nangong Fan didn't know why Xie Tianshu called him, so he could only follow the servant to their room.
Xie Tianshu laughed loudly with a warm look on his face. As the son of God and elder of Xuanwu Lake, this person's status is even higher than Hu Nangong Fan. The fact that he could treat Nangong Fan warmly showed how meticulous this person was.
"City Lord Nangong, please take a seat." Xie Tianshu said, "Someone, serve tea, good tea."
After the tea was served, the servants left, leaving only Xie Tianshu, Xie Xinghan and Nangong Fan in the room.
Xie Tianshu took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "Nangong Prefecture Lord also knows that our Xie family is mainly engaged in elixirs. Selecting talented elixirs is what our Xie family is most happy to do. The reason why we asked the Prefecture Lord to come here today is that we want to get to know the Alchemy God Ye Xiangyang through you. I wonder if the Prefecture Lord can help."
When Nangong Fan heard the words, he understood clearly in his heart that the four major families of Xuanwu Lake, the Xie family, the Zheng family, the Tujia family, and the Shui family, were the four pillars of Xuanwu Lake. Together with the disciples who were retained in Xuanwu Lake every year, the elders who were promoted from disciples, and a dozen small families, they formed the pattern of Xuanwu Lake.
Alchemy is the main profession of the Xie family. They want to meet Ye Xiangyang, probably because Ye Xiangyang is too talented in the alchemy competition and they want to win him over to their family in advance.
This is a good thing. In this way, the Xie family gains a new force, and Ye Xiangyang finds a backer in Xuanwu Lake. It is a win-win situation.
Nangong Fan smiled slightly: "Okay, okay, I have received a notice from Taiyuan Divine Sect that Ye Xiangyang will arrive tomorrow. When he arrives, I will bring him the news as soon as possible."
Xie Tianshu nodded: "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, our Xie family has always been magnanimous and will never let him suffer any loss."
The three of them were chatting and laughing happily.
The lords of the three thousand major cities have changed, which has attracted the attention of countless forces in Greater Guangzhou.
As for who is most likely to succeed the city lord, it is still those big forces and big families. They have sufficient resources to purchase Shinto skills, medicines, and artifacts, and they can cultivate powerful family heirs.
Of course, some big forces have already made preparations for this competition. They have made plans to take over those cities.
None of those who can become the city lord are stupid. Even the virtual gods are all masters at the peak of the virtual god level. Each of them has amazing combat power, and it can even be said that they are far beyond the average virtual god of nine stars.
They started planning and improving their own strength decades ago to avoid being eliminated from this competition and losing the position of city lord.
For many years, the active positions have always been the 200 or so at the back, while the 2,500 at the front have an unshakable weight. Who dares to shake their majesty
Today is the day when Greater Guangzhou opens, and it is also the day when various cities can enter Greater Guangzhou.
There were several teleportation arrays, and people came over wave after wave. There were the city lord's direct descendants, people from the chambers of commerce in various large cities, people from large families, people from the sects in Guangzhou, and some lonely masters of spiritual cultivation.
Faced with such a grand event, countless merchants flocked to Guangzhou, hoping to make a fortune in Guangzhou.
Ye Xiangyang came, bringing Hu Ba, Duanmu Ao, Yun Jianhan and others with him.
Just like what everyone is paying attention to, they want to see if there are three hundred true gods behind him. Up to now, the biggest force that can bring about change to Guangzhou is their Taiyuan Divine Sect. No one can resist the three hundred true gods.
At the pill competition, Ye Xiangyang proposed that Taiyuan Divine Sect was qualified to participate in the City Lord Competition. People thought that they would never be able to change the situation in Greater Guangzhou. Who would have expected that when Ye Xiangyang returned to the sect, such a shocking change would occur.
The appearance of the three hundred true gods made many cities in Guangzhou tremble with fear.
They are not Ye Xiangyang, who possesses super powers to fight against true gods. They understand that as long as the true gods of Taiyuan Divine Sect come, except for the first sixty or seventy cities where the true gods are the city lords, any city lord who faces them will have to step down.
This is strength. Strength determines a person's energy. The moment Ye Xiangyang appeared, countless people stood and watched them.
Some people pointed at Ye Xiangyang and introduced him to their companions: "I see, this is Ye Xiangyang, the Alchemy God. He is also the leader of the Taiyuan Divine Sect?"
"That's impossible. He's too young. Look at him. He looks like a young man in his teens or twenties."
"Who says he isn't? He has the ability to resist the true gods at the level of a five-star virtual god. He is now a well-known expert in Guangzhou."
"Yes, he is the best in alchemy, has killed hundreds of millions of demons, and created three hundred true gods. No wonder he has several stunning beauties following him. He really has that kind of strength."
As soon as Ye Xiangyang came out, he was received by the people from the Governor's Mansion. They took Ye Xiangyang to the Governor's Mansion politely and warmly.
Looking at the starry purple-gold chariot, there were three golden reindeer pulling the chariot in front, and the grand chariot could seat more than thirty people.
Hu Ba was not bound by convention. He laughed loudly and said, "The governor has given us special treatment. I have never ridden such a nice car before. I want to take a ride today and give it a try."
The fat man on the earth platform was panting heavily, "The state lord is really considerate. He knows that I have difficulty walking, so he sent a car. Let's take the car."
Duanmu Ao looked at their embarrassing appearance and acted as if he didn't know these people.
They got into the car laughing and headed towards the governor's mansion.
The four major families in the state lord's mansion and the elders of Xuanwu Lake were each in their own rooms.
Everyone knows clearly that the Xie family is trying to win over Ye Xiangyang.
So, they all wanted to see who Ye Xiangyang was.
Only the people of the Zheng family understood that Ye Xiangyang was the most important person the lake owner needed. This person might even be related to the future of Xuanwu Lake. The Zheng family had already found someone to protect Ye Xiangyang.
Even so, the Zheng family would also like to see how Ye Xiangyang performs. If they say that Ye Xiangyang is unteachable, then haha, that's all they can say. There is no need to waste energy on a fool.
Everyone in Xuanwu Lake called the state lord to come into the hall. They all wanted to take a look at Ye Xiangyang, who was praised as a flower by Elder Jing Fanxing.
The Tujia people smiled faintly and said, "The geniuses in small towns are often reserved and arrogant. They don't know the importance of things and think they are the best in the world. Ye Xiangyang came from the lower world, so I'm afraid he can't avoid this problem."
The Shui family also said, "Whether it's a mule or a horse, we still have to take it out for a walk. Can't we just say that whatever Elder Jing Fanxing says is the right thing to do?"
The elder of Xuanwu Lake also said: "Only after seeing us can you know that when it comes to geniuses, we in Xuanwu Lake have plenty, such as the Great Evolution Battle Body, the Ten Thousand Stars Divine Body, the Feather Cloud Body, and various strange physiques. If you can only dominate a large state, there is nothing special about it."
The reason they said this was because they wanted to see what the attitude of the Xie family was. For countless years, the Xie family had been wooing alchemy geniuses, which resulted in the elixirs in Xuanwu Lake being controlled by the Xie family. Their three major families were somewhat passive in Xuanwu Lake, and even had to look at Elder Xie's face for words.
This time, Ye Xiangyang was favored by the Xie family mainly because of the True God Longevity Pill. If it is true, the issue of Ye Xiangyang's ownership needs to be discussed carefully.
Xie Tianshu smiled slightly. He knew in his heart that from looking at Nangong Fan's body, it could be seen that the True God's Holy Longevity Pill refined by Ye Xiangyang should be genuine and could extend the life of a True God by 100,000 years. This prescription alone was worthy of being won over by the Xie family.
The Xie family spent 500,000 years on the recipe for the elixir, and there are side effects.
