Of course, if someone from Taiyuan Divine Sect became the city lord, it would indeed be a big blow to his control over power, a huge blow.
Not to mention anything else, just the three hundred true gods govern three hundred cities. If they lead the surrounding cities, one leading two or three is not a problem. By then, one thousand of the three thousand cities in Greater Guangzhou will be loyal to Taiyuan Divine Sect, and he, the lord of the state, will be just a decoration.
However, he also saw the relationship between Fengyun City and Ye Xiangyang. Sima Tong, the lord of Fengyun City, was originally only a figure in the last 100 cities among the three thousand cities. He only got along well with Taiyuan Divine Sect. Now he has made rapid progress and it is no problem for him to enter the top 100 cities. He himself has also been promoted to the realm of true god.
During the alchemy competition, Ye Xiangyang did himself a favor and said that he would let some people enter the competition. Who could have expected that these people would be so treacherous.
Another question is, can you refuse
How strong is Ye Xiangyang's current situation
The four major families of Xuanwu Lake and the elders of Xuanwu Lake itself are all trying to win them over. As long as Ye Xiangyang goes to Xuanwu Lake, for example, if he agrees to the Xie family's request, he might really become the direct disciple of the Xie family's ancestor. His status will be much higher than that of himself as the state lord.
Nangong Fan was also feeling bitter, but through so many interactions with Ye Xiangyang, he knew that he was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
Marshal Xian Yu Yunyong was recently promoted to one star with the help of Ye Xiangyang, and all his injuries have completely recovered.
Under such circumstances, the state lord Nangong Fan could only move closer to Ye Xiangyang.
What made him feel aggrieved was that he was a high-ranking and powerful lord in Xuanwu Lake, and also a mid-level True God master. He had been in charge of Guangzhou for countless years, but he was severely suppressed by a kid who had only been here for half a year. He couldn't help but feel it was a bit ridiculous.
Ye Xiangyang smiled faintly, looked at Xie Tianshu and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. So, do I need to pay something?"
Xie Tianshu couldn't help being stunned when looking at Ye Xiangyang. He represented the Xie family, the largest family in Xuanwu Lake, with high power and influence. The promise he made to him was high enough and sincere enough. In the area under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu Lake, almost no one could refuse. Ye Xiangyang actually asked this, which showed that this person had no fear of his own family in his heart.
Xie Tianshu smiled: "There is no need to pay any price. Our ancestors are very eager to find a successor. Passing on their lifelong skills to a reliable person is the greatest support for Xuanwu Lake."
Ye Xiangyang smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder. I am not talented enough to be the successor. I'd better proceed in a formal way, taking one step at a time and crossing the river by feeling the stones."
The words were very tactful, but the refusal was very direct.
Xie Xinghan smiled coldly: "Don't be ungrateful, Mr. Ye. You should know that countless people in Xuanwu Lake dream of this kind of opportunity. For the divine cultivators in the Xuanwu Lake area, it is a golden and jade-inlaid job falling from the sky. Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. You will only make things worse for yourself."
Seeing Ye Xiangyang being so arrogant, Xie Xinghan flatly rejected Xie Tianshu, which was completely ungrateful and directly threatened and suppressed him.
Hu Ba laughed loudly: "The adults are talking, and you jumped out from that corner. Do you have the right to interrupt? Wipe your nose and go play."
Hu Ba's words shocked everyone present. He was extremely bold, absolutely extremely bold. Facing the people of Xuanwu Lake and the genius of the Xie family, Hu Ba's words had unparalleled lethality.
Hu Ba looked down on Xie Xinghan. He curled his lips and thought to himself: What the hell is this? First they tried to win me over, and when that didn't work, they threatened me directly. Oh, could it be that Xuanwu Lake was established by means of such means? No wonder it has been so difficult to fight against Tianmo for so many years. What the hell is this
Another thing is, where was that kid looking just now? He was just staring at his sisters-in-law, walking around like that. What was he thinking? Hu Ba wanted to get angry just now, but he didn't have the chance.
The eyes of the elder of Xuanwu Lake lit up and he directly rejected the Xie family. So, if the Xie family had no share, as long as Ye Xiangyang entered Xuanwu Lake, it was possible that he was not from any of the four major families.
Besides, which family would be willing to go against the Xie family for one person
The elder of Xuanwu Lake said: "This divine cultivator is really presumptuous. He insulted the people of our Xuanwu Lake Xie family. Do you know your crime?"
"Yes, considering that you have just arrived at Xuanwu Lake and don't know the rules, you should apologize to Xie Xinghan. As long as you apologize, we promise that we will never pursue the matter. What do you think?"
Xie Xinghan was furious when he heard this. He stood up with a grim smile on his face, "Hehehe, the majesty of Xuanwu Lake cannot be violated by others. Only his death can maintain the majesty of Xuanwu Lake. If you really don't want to die, then kneel at my feet and become my slave. You only have these two choices."
The elders of Xuanwu Lake frowned. They knew that the reason why Xie Xinghan was so stubborn was because the Xie family had taken a fancy to Ye Xiangyang's elixir, and the value of the elixir was immeasurable. The reason why they oppressed Ye Xiangyang's brothers was to make Ye Xiangyang bow his head.
Hu Ba laughed loudly: "You despicable boy who only relies on the dignity of your ancestors, let me tell you, don't think that I'm afraid of you. I have three hundred true gods behind me, and I'm also a powerful man. If you are not convinced, we can both reach out and see who's the winner in the ring, how about that?"
Xie Xinghan also frowned. Three hundred true gods were really a big threat to them. The Xie family was wealthy and powerful, with many masters, but there were only more than a hundred true gods. It was only because the ancestor of the Xie family was the chief elder of elixirs and they controlled the elixir resources of Xuanwu Lake that they gradually developed into the largest family.
Xie Xinghan smiled coldly, his eyes full of ferocity: "Okay, let's not care about life or death on the ring. I will use your blood to wash away the shame you brought to Xuanwu Lake."
Hu Ba was happy: "You are just a person from Xuanwu Lake, you can't represent Xuanwu Lake. If not, why don't you come to Guangzhou alone? Okay, regardless of life or death, let's fight to the death."
Hu Ba's heart was filled with excitement. Although he was only a five-star virtual god, he could not resist the monster. He had also cultivated the Three Thousand Great Ways, which evolved towards killing and were stimulated by his white tiger bloodline, forming the most powerful murderous aura.
Even if you claim to be a Nine-Star Virtual God, hehehe, your strength is just two or three million jin.
The elder of the Zheng family said: "There is no need to shout and kill at every turn. There is no need to do this. Why not find another solution?"
"Yes, they are all the elites of Xuanwu Lake. The loss of any of them is a loss for Xuanwu Lake."
They knew that Ye Xiangyang was a monster who could fight against true gods, but they didn't know that Ye Xiangyang's brother was also such a monster. They were afraid that Xie Xinghan would kill this man with one hand. By then, Ye Xiangyang and Xuanwu Lake would become alienated, which would be difficult to deal with.
Ye Xiangyang smiled slightly.
When everyone saw that he was about to speak, their hearts suddenly jumped. Why did Xie Xinghan threaten Hu Ba? He just wanted Ye Xiangyang to agree to their conditions. If you dare not agree, I will kill him.
As long as Ye Xiangyang agrees, hehehe, it's like a bird in a cage. No matter how he is dealt with in the future, it will be up to him, right
This time, he bowed his head a second time, and the four delicate beauties became his.
"Since the two of you want to compete, then give it a try. Anyway, Hu Ba has never seen the top genius of the Xie family in Xuanwu Lake, so just treat it as a lesson today."
Xie Tianshu originally thought that Ye Xiangyang wanted to plead for his brother, so he took him away. He also laughed at Ye Xiangyang for refusing to accept his toast and being ungrateful.
Who knew that what he heard was agreement? He was furious and told Xie Xinghan with his spiritual sense: "Kill him. You must kill this kid. Humph, if you don't agree to our generous terms, then we have to use force."
The other three families were afraid that Ye Xiangyang would agree in a blink of an eye. If the True God Holy Longevity Pill and the True God Achievement Pill reached the Xie family, their family's strength would be greatly enhanced. Who in Xuanwu Lake could resist their rise
Isn't that a huge joke
Now it seems that if they were asked to compete, they would be worried that if something happened to Hu Ba, would Ye Xiangyang come to Xuanwu Lake
"If the Five-Star Void God wants to compete with the Nine-Star Void God, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."
"After a while, if Hu Ba can't hold on, we can rescue him and make friends with Ye Xiangyang."
"Yes, just the two magical pills and the ability to challenge higher-level opponents make him one of the most magical geniuses in our sect, and he is worth our efforts."
"It seems that they are still young and have not experienced the world."
…
Nangong Fanzhou Lord was stunned. He felt incredible. In the vast area controlled by Xuanwu Lake in Jiushizhou, few people dared to disobey the Xie family. Moreover, the generous conditions proposed by the Xie family were impossible to refuse.
He thought Ye Xiangyang would definitely agree, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would stand on the opposite side of the Xie family. Could it be that these people really did not intend to enter Xuanwu Lake, and did not intend to make progress after entering Xuanwu Lake
At the same time, he also felt that Ye Xiangyang was unwilling to be controlled by others, even by the Xie family. Could it be that this person had a bigger plan
The arena is the martial arts performance stage in the governor's mansion.
The martial arts arena was built with star gold stone, which was the strongest natural metal available in the universe and an essential resource for making artifacts. Guangzhou produced star gold stone, which allowed it to build such a luxurious arena. The entire arena was glittering with golden light, shining with gorgeous golden light, rich and magnificent, directly impacting people's eyes and hearts.
There are four weapon racks on the four sides of the martial arts stage, with swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks... All kinds of weapons are neatly arranged. The martial arts stage is wrapped in a large formation, which is enough to withstand the impact of various energies.
Xie Xinghan jumped onto the stage and pointed at Hu Ba. "Boy, go up to the stage and die. Only your blood can wash away your insult to our Xuanwu Lake. Today, you will definitely die."
People looked at Hu Ba below the ring with serious eyes. Too many people didn't know Hu Ba's power, and they were all wondering if this man could take on Xie Xinghan
