Han Tian soared into the sky, stopped beside Wu Tian, and asked in confusion: "What did you find?"
Wu Tian said: "Yan Wang's actions were directed by others."
"who?"
Han Tian frowned, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and looked at the four great saints, Taishi Leiwang, Kongbi Mingwang, and Shangxuan City's deputy city lord, Pluto.
"It's not them. This matter is complicated. I will tell you slowly later. And I believe that it won't be long before they will come to us on their own." Wutan's eyes flickered, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
Nodding, Han Tian did not continue asking questions, turned around and walked to Tiangang and the other man.
The Dragon King and the Ice Demon Lord looked at the two people who were whispering, with a hint of doubt between their brows. They guessed that Wutan might have discovered something, but since Wutan didn't say anything, the two were embarrassed to ask.
After looking at each other, they nodded, bowed, clasped their fists, and said in unison: "Greetings, Holy Lord."
"Greetings to the Holy Lord!"
With the two overlords of the East Region taking the lead, the four great saints, several city lords such as Taishi Leiwang, several saint disciples such as Gaoyang Hanzheng, including Han Tian and others, the Blood Mane Bull Legion, and the law enforcers of Samsara City, all bowed their heads and saluted.
Above the Nine Heavens, all the top powerhouses of the Eastern Region gathered. Even they paid homage respectfully. The people in the city knew that things were a foregone conclusion and no one could change it.
"Greetings to the Holy Lord!"
At this moment, thousands of Nine Star Commanders put aside their usual arrogant attitudes and kowtowed three times and bowed nine times respectfully.
It was at this moment that Wutan officially took over as the Holy Lord of the Eastern Region!
“I am not good at speaking, so I won’t say anything extra. But I will give you two some advice. First, you must listen to my words. Second, you are not allowed to do anything that will harm the interests of the Eastern Region. If you violate this, I will never let you off easily!” Wu Tian’s voice was stern, and a fierce aura burst out of his body, shaking the world!
"Follow the words of the Holy Lord."
Everyone responded respectfully.
They would not doubt this statement. King Yan and those who were killed by Han Tian before, as well as several city lords such as King Chang Wujin, were the best lessons.
"In addition, although Wu has taken over the position of the Holy Lord, there will be no changes in all the systems in the Eastern Region. You should still do what you should do as before. Wu has said all, and you can all go!" Wutan waved his hand.
"Brother, let's retreat first." Tongtianqiao said, without waiting for Wutan's response, he disappeared without a trace with Tongtiansuo and the ancient city.
When the Tongtian Bridge disappeared, the aura that blocked the Samsara City naturally disappeared as well.
People flocked to the outside of the city, not for anything else, just to breathe some fresh air and relax their tense mood.
They took out the All-Seeing Order one after another, or used telepathy to spread everything that happened in Samsara City.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people…
Soon, people throughout the Eastern Region received the news that the Holy Lord had been replaced.
The Dragon King abdicated and Wutan succeeded!
Unsurprisingly, all the major cities were in an uproar.
Some people laughed at the incompetence of King Yan, some were afraid of Han Tian's methods, and some talked about the horror of the blood-maned bull... However, all the topics had one thing in common, that is, they revolved around Wu Tian.
Because of this change, he is the protagonist!
Similarly, Wutan became the object of everyone's envy and jealousy.
Is it really worth envying and being jealous
In fact, this is not the case. Wutan is now very troubled and even wants to escape immediately.
People dispersed, things were over, and he thought he could leave, but just before he entered the Star Realm, the Dragon King imprisoned him in the void, frowned, and gave him a severe scolding.
The content was nothing more than the need to be responsible, to take on responsibilities, and other things... In short, it was a lot of stuff, but Wutan didn't listen at all.
"Stop, stop, stop, Jiao Huang. After all, I am now the Holy Lord of the Eastern Region. Do you dare to interfere with what I want to do?"
Wutan's ears were almost callused from listening, and he could not bear it any longer, so he had to speak up, interrupting the chattering Dragon Emperor and using his status as a Holy Lord to put pressure on him.
The Dragon King sneered, "Asshole boy, in front of everyone, I call you Saint Venerable, but in private, don't even think about using your status to suppress me. What? Are you not convinced? Do you want to repay kindness with enmity and attack me?"
“I’m convinced. Of course I’m convinced.” Wutan nodded quickly and even said the words “ungrateful”. If he didn’t compromise, he might be considered ruthless and heartless.
Looking at the slyly grinning Jiao Huang, Wu Tian rolled his eyes and said weakly, "Tell me! Is there anything else you want to do?"
Jiao Huang said: "At present, the most important thing is to fill the vacant city lords of several major cities."
"Isn't this difficult to handle? You three come here." Wutan waved to Murong Mingyu and the other two without thinking.
The three of them looked at each other, walked up with suspicious eyes, and bowed, "What do you want, Holy Lord?"
Wu Tian said calmly: "From today on, Wang Yankun, you are the city lord of Xiaxuan City, Murong Mingyu, you are the city lord of Zhongxuan City, Gaoyang Hanzheng, the position of the city lord of Shangxuan City is handed over to you."
The three of them looked at each other. Although the position of City Lord was not as important as that of Saint, it seemed that they could not be treated so carelessly!
What's more, they are busy with cultivation and have neither the mind nor the energy to become city lords!
Wu Tian was so smart that he could not fail to see through the three people's little thoughts. His face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "You can't refuse, otherwise it will be disobedience. I don't need to tell you the consequences of disobedience, you are very clear about it."
"Please forgive us, Your Majesty. We will obey your orders." The three men suddenly changed color and said in panic, but no matter how you looked at it, they seemed reluctant.
"Yes." Wu Tian nodded expressionlessly and said, "I will boldly hand over the heavy responsibility to you. I hope you won't let me down."
"We will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." The three of them appeared to be respectful and obedient, but in fact they hated Wutan in their hearts.
"As for the deputy city lords of Beixuan City, Xiaxuan City, and Zhongxuan City..."
Wutan's gaze moved from the Ice Demon Lord to the last law enforcer. Without exception, anyone who was looked at by him would involuntarily take a few steps back, as if wanting to hide.
Shaking his head and smiling, Wu Tian pointed at the three law enforcement commanders and said, "You three come here."
"We?" The three law enforcement commanders were stunned and pointed at their noses in confusion.
"Yes, it's you." Wutan nodded.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, then had to bite the bullet and walk forward.
Wutan looked at it for a while and nodded with satisfaction.
All three of them have reached the unparalleled perfection stage of cultivation, and have been the leaders of the law enforcers in Samsara City for many years. Therefore, whether in terms of qualifications or strength, they are the best candidates for the three deputy city lords. The only difference is their appearance.
"Tell me your names."
"Your subordinate Qi Taiping!"
"Your subordinate Qi Renyi!"
"Your subordinate Qi Daode!"
The three of them bowed.
"Are you three brothers?" Wutan looked at the three people in surprise.
Upon hearing this, it was as if Wutan had uncovered a scar in their hearts. The faces of the three men twitched continuously, but they dared not ignore the Saint's questions.
Qi Taiping nodded and said, "We are real brothers."
"Huh!" Wutan was extremely stunned. One was Taiping, one was Renyi, and the other was Daode. He really had to admire the high IQ of these three parents.
Moreover, their appearances are very strange, with different heights, weights and sizes.
Qi Taiping is skinny. Actually, it would be fine if he was just thin, after all, there are many thin people in the world, so it's not surprising, but he is very tall and looks like a bamboo pole.
However, Qi Renyi was unexpectedly short. Not only short, but also very dark. I don't mean to insult him, but he was really no different from a pig.
Only Qi Daode is relatively normal, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither ugly nor handsome, and he is the type that is pleasing to the eye.
If these three people stood together, who would believe that they were brothers unless they admitted it themselves? I'm afraid no one would believe it.
“Ahem!”
After a few dry coughs, Wu Tian said casually: "The deputy city lords of the three major cities, Zhongxuan City, Xiaxuan City, and Beixuan City, you three brothers can each pick one."
"Yes." The three brothers bowed and accepted the order, but their faces were bitter.
In the past, as the law enforcement commander, he only had to execute orders and could practice at other times. However, once he became the deputy city lord, he had to deal with affairs all day long. Not only was it troublesome, but he couldn't make any mistakes.
It looked very glamorous on the surface, but in reality it was a tough job that no one wanted, including the three brothers.
Wu Tian was also quite helpless. In the sects of the Samsara Continent, a mere deacon or elder would be fought over by everyone, but in the Eastern Region? No one was even willing to be the lord of a city.
Shaking his head, Wu Tian looked at King Kong Bi Ming and ordered: "You will be in charge of the announcement of their taking office."
"Okay." Kongbi Mingwang nodded.
Then, Wu Tian looked at Jiao Huang who was staring at him strangely, and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Senior Jiao Huang, do you have anything else to do now? If not, I will go and take care of my own business."
The Jiao Emperor frowned and said angrily: "Do you know that your current behavior is very irresponsible?"
“Hasn’t the senior heard that if you employ someone, trust him or her, and don’t employ him or her if you don’t trust him? Since I dare to employ them, it means I am completely confident.” Wutan said indifferently and glanced at Xiaoyi, the flying fox next to Shishi, without leaving a trace.
Although he seems to be acting casually on the surface, he has actually been conducting an investigation in secret.
Before, when he summoned Qi Taiping and the other two, he secretly instructed Xiaoyi without anyone noticing to see what the three people's true natures were. In the end, Xiaoyi's answer was that they were neither bad people nor good people.
With Xiaoyi's affirmation, he dared to hand over the positions of deputy city lords to the three brothers.
Seeing that the Dragon King had a gloomy look and was silent, Wutan was too lazy to talk nonsense. He flicked his sleeves and sent Wutan and others, including the Blood-Maned Ox, into the Star Realm.
"Everyone, disperse! Focus on recuperating and preparing for the next round of attacks from the Western Regions. Three Saints, if anything important happens, remember to notify me. By the way, if anyone comes looking for me or inquires about my whereabouts, you should say you don't know, but you have to help me entertain them."
After giving instructions to everyone, Wutan simply ignored the vicious look of the Dragon Emperor and slipped into the Star Realm, making the Dragon Emperor very angry.
