Yun Jianhan and others negotiated with the resigned city lord and were the first to warmly welcome them to join the Taiyuan Divine Sect.
Hearing Yun Jianhan and the others' words, more than ninety of the one hundred city lords were excited. You know, Sect Master Ye Xiangyang can refine a True God Achievement Pill. If he can give them a True God Achievement Pill, wouldn't that be their supreme opportunity? They would have the possibility of fulfilling their dreams.
Besides, joining Taiyuan Divine Sect is still a step up compared to being a city lord. They have seen more than one billion people flocking into Taiyuan Divine Sect, and they hope that Taiyuan Divine Sect can accept them. They basically don't accept disciples, so for them it's an exception.
"Brother, we are willing to join Taiyuan Divine Sect."
"Yes, we are already failed city lords. Being able to join the Taiyuan Divine Sect is a new starting point in my life."
"Who says it's not true? Joining the Taiyuan Divine Sect, I can listen to the true god's teachings. The last time I listened to a lecture, it opened my eyes."
…
Hu Ba laughed loudly: "My fellow city lords, once you join Taiyuan Divine Sect, you will become its disciples. However, we have a promise that our Taiyuan Divine Sect has many rules and rewards. It is not impossible to even give out True God Completion Pills as rewards. However, you will need to exchange them with your own merits."
"I'll say it again, your one hundred cities must all belong to our Taiyuan Divine Sect. We will send out one hundred True Gods for this competition, and they must take down the one hundred cities."
Although the one hundred city lords were shocked, they did not lose their composure. The three hundred true gods of Taiyuan Divine Sect came out to compete for the position of city lord. It didn't matter if the one hundred of them stepped down, it would be better for them to belong to Taiyuan Divine Sect.
"Okay, I support our sect. If we can capture a hundred cities, that will be our foundation."
"Yes, the more places a sect controls, the stronger its strength will be."
…
Hu Ba shook his head: "You are too narrow-minded. Think about it, what about Fengyun City? They are not included in the Taiyuan Divine Sect, but they are still our foundation. Sometimes, we can't think that this is ours and that is ours. In fact, everything in the world belongs to us. If it weren't for the Heavenly Demon War, my eldest brother would never come to the world."
"You must remember that we don't want to plunder the creatures on our Four Divine Beasts Continent. We want to plunder those damned demons. This is the goal of our Taiyuan Divine Sect."
Duanmu Ao looked at these city lords and said, "You all know that our Taiyuan Divine Sect has a grudge with the Xie family of Xuanwu Lake. If you didn't know it before, I'll tell you now that the grudge is quite deep. So, is there any city in our Greater Guangzhou that has a very close relationship with the Xie family of Xuanwu Lake?"
The city lords looked at each other and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. To them, the Xie family of Xuanwu Lake was a behemoth beyond their comprehension. It was the sky that descended upon the ninety states of Xuanwu Lake. When a virtual god of the Xie family came, they were all terrified, let alone going against the Xie family. They would not dare to do so even if they were beaten to death.
They all had sweat on their foreheads, thinking: "Sect Master Ye Xiangyang is really fierce. He actually dares to be hostile to the Xie family."
"My God, in the Xuanwu Lake area, Taiyuan Divine Sect is really the only one who dares to do this."
"If you offend the Xie family, you will be attacked by the Xie family. Can Taiyuan Divine Sect withstand the attack from the Xie family?"
…
"Brother, I know Yunfeng City. It has had a very good relationship with the Xie family over the years. They have been planning to join the Xie family in the early years." said a city lord.
"I also know that Yanshui City has a close relationship with the Xie family."
"Tianbo City has taken refuge with the Xie family, so they don't even take the state lord seriously."
There were one hundred city lords scattered throughout Greater Guangzhou. They were quite familiar with the cities around them. In a short time, they found out seventy-nine cities related to the Xie family.
Duanmu Ao asked people to record the first one hundred cities on the map. They were calculating how to pull the remaining cities to the greatest extent, preferably two hundred cities, so that they could pay attention to all aspects of Greater Guangzhou.
These city lords looked at the cities they marked on the map. Yun Jianhan and his team had a full understanding of the next 100 cities. It was time to arrange the rhythm of the city positions. It seemed that they were determined to win the 200 cities.
Come to think of it, the Taiyuan Divine Sect has 300 True Gods, and taking out 200 True Gods to be the city lord is really not a good thing. While lamenting the strength of the sect, they couldn't help but think that the city lord who surrendered to the Xie family would definitely be implicated. Everything has its pros and cons.
They would never have thought that their career as city lords would come to an end with this competition.
…
The hustle and bustle of the outside world had nothing to do with Ye Xiangyang. Ye Xiangyang found a hall in the state lord's mansion, took out the Divine Turtle Longevity Cauldron, and began to refine the elixir.
The elixirs he refined, including the True God Achievement Pill, the True God Promotion Pill, and the True God Longevity Pill, were basically not something that anyone else in the sect could refine, not even the True God masters.
For some reason, even if they were given to others, they could not learn some things in the Xuanwu Danjing, as if there was some kind of mystery blocking them. However, when it came to the elixir of the virtual god, they could learn it immediately, and Ye Xiangyang had no way to stop them.
Ye Xiangyang took out the array plate and set up the Nine-bend Bewitching Soul Blocking Array in the hall. The so-called Nine-bend Bewitching Soul Blocking Array means that from the outside of the array to the inside of the array, one has to go through nine bends and eighteen turns, passing through a series of barriers, and it is impossible to see Ye Xiangyang from the outside, unless Ye Xiangyang deliberately let him see.
Even the consciousness of a true god cannot pass through the vast array of mountains and hills, nor can it pass through the layers of obstacles within the array.
Ye Xiangyang set up the formation according to the formation diagram. Even though it was the state lord's mansion, ordinary people would never come here to harm him. That was to say, the person who could really come here to harm him must not be an ordinary person.
What's more, he had just offended the Xie family of Xuanwu Lake, which was a behemoth. According to the information he had received, the head of the Xie family was a master of the eighth star of the True God, and their ancestor was even said to be about to enter the ninth star of the True God.
They are invincible in the Continent of Four Divine Beasts. If they can personally attack him in Xuanwu Lake, they can plot against him. How can Ye Xiangyang not be cautious
The Nine-Angled Black Tortoise Cauldron was suspended in the sky above Ye Xiangyang and turned into nothingness. Even if they took action, they could pass through the layers of fog, but they could not penetrate the Nine-Angled Black Tortoise Cauldron.
Ye Xiangyang believed that even if the Xie family was powerful, they were targeting him. If they dared to target his Taiyuan Divine Sect, hehehe, Xuanwu Lake would really be in decline and meaningless.
Everything was done. Ye Xiangyang began to bathe his body and mind, achieving the most ethereal state, and began to refine medicine.
At this moment, the formation trembled slightly, and Ye Xiangyang, who was sitting on the formation plate, immediately felt the intrusion of his spiritual consciousness.
According to Ye Xiangyang's current condition, he could have eliminated this trace of spiritual consciousness, but not only did he not do so, he opened a passage to allow the spiritual consciousness to enter the place where he was refining the elixir.
When his spiritual sense came over, Ye Xiangyang discovered a familiar breath. It was the spiritual sense of the person who had followed him for some time, that is, someone from his Zheng family.
The spiritual consciousness transformed into a middle-aged man, a middle-aged man with an immortal look.
"Boy, you are so brave to let me in." The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xiangyang and said with a smile, "Let me tell you, the Xie family has assigned a dark assassin codenamed 100 to kill you. This person is a True God three-star master, an absolute master. Don't look at him as a True God three-star. Under his omnipotent and pervasive assassination methods, even a True God five-star would be a little timid."
Ye Xiangyang nodded. He knew quite a few killing techniques, and the assassination techniques in the Three Thousand Great Daos were unique. He had never seen anyone use assassination techniques.
"Senior, are you from the Zheng family? After so many days, I finally get to see what you look like." Ye Xiangyang smiled.
Ye Xiangyang acted quite relaxed. The more so, the more difficult it was to figure out who he was. Even the six-star True God master of the Zheng family could not see through Ye Xiangyang's depth. After hearing what he said, this kid didn't show any panic or fear. What on earth had he been through to be so calm and composed
The man smiled slightly and said, "Yes, when our family received the news that your Taiyuan Divine Sect had killed 300 million Heavenly Demons and 23 Heavenly Demon True Gods, the family received the arrangement from the Sect Master and assigned me to protect you."
This person knew that facing Ye Xiangyang, who had stirred up such a huge wave in Xuanwu Lake, it would be best to treat him with sincerity. Otherwise, hehehe, there would definitely be trouble if there was a misunderstanding.
Ye Xiangyang nodded: "Thank you very much, senior, for your secret protection for so many days. When I refine the elixir, I will give you one."
This person was stunned. He did not expect Ye Xiangyang to promise him such a big benefit when they met for the first time. But he heard Ye Xiangyang say: "If you don't like the True God Achievement Pill, I can even change it to the True God Promotion Pill."
Wow—this person's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he said, "Boy, do you want me to help you take down the assassin?"
Ye Xiangyang chuckled: "Senior, just one word from you is enough. Do I need you? Don't worry, I can definitely handle it myself. I know what I'm doing. Thank you, senior."
In a word, rejected.
The Zheng family's six-star True God elder was in turmoil. He had already told him that the man was a three-star True God. Even a five-star True God master could be assassinated. He didn't show any fear. What did that mean? It meant that this man didn't take the assassination seriously at all. Could it be that this man really had experience in facing assassinations
He said nothing more? He could only quietly withdraw. Of course, he was also thinking about how he could help Ye Xiangyang. Whether it was the True God Achievement Pill or the True God Promotion Pill, they were what he needed. They were definitely priceless treasures. If he helped Ye Xiangyang and Ye Xiangyang really gave him the precious pill, he would be extremely happy.
