Chapter 551: Chapter 204: Feng Yuan’s Kaiyuan Town Guards the Immortal City, Targeting the Desolate Regions as Turmoil Resurfaces! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!!)
Longevity Immortal City.
It has been a month since Feng Yuan had crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, but the repercussions of that event have not yet dissipated. Whenever the cultivators in the city think about it, they still discuss it passionately.
In this atmosphere, the Zhou family draped their household in plain white silk. From time to time, the sound of sobbing could be heard. The nearby cultivator families, although they didn’t have much social interaction with the Zhou family, personally visited to pay their respects and mourn.
After all, Zhou Shen died for the Immortal City, so naturally he deserves such treatment. However, during this period, Jin Quanxiu has not made an appearance, and Zhou Ning didn’t feel it appropriate to disturb him.
In Zhou Ning’s memory, Elder Jin loved Zhou Shen the most. But now, it seems he couldn’t accept the fact of Zhou Shen’s death, so his current behavior was somewhat understandable.
Thinking of this, he naturally didn’t disturb him, letting time heal the pain in his heart. Elder Jin would eventually recover.
However, no one knew that at this moment, Zhou Shen, who was hiding in Liang Sheng’s Mansion, was feeling a bit awkward. After all, anyone witnessing their own funeral would feel a little unsettled.
Jin Quanxiu didn’t say much about the situation. After all, Zhou Shen wasn’t a foolish person. He naturally understood that not doing anything was the best choice at present.
Zhou Shen had already “died” on the arena. If he were to appear in public now, it might cause other problems.
Elsewhere during this time, Liang Sheng was remarkably leisurely. For some reason, when Jin Quanxiu saw the “Senior Sect Member” so relaxed, he slowly calmed down.
Once the tension was dissolved, Jin Quanxiu seemed to enjoy this time. It reminded him of life in the Desolate Domain Dan Cauldron Sect.
Now, with a sect elder looking after him and the disciple Zhou Shen needing his instruction, his life in the Immortal City for the first time seemed meaningful.
He even prayed that he could spend the rest of his life like this because it gave him a long-lost feeling of warmth.
But today, Liang Sheng, who had been lying casually outside, suddenly stood up and looked towards the sky, which made Jin Quanxiu a bit nervous.
What happened?
After experiencing the incident of Feng Yuan’s Heavenly Tribulation, Jin Quanxiu certainly didn’t want to experience such a dangerous situation again, because it represented uncertainty that he couldn’t control.
However, when he saw Liang Sheng sitting back down, he too sighed in relief; because of the elder’s demeanor, the matter didn’t seem to warrant too much worry.
However, just when he had relaxed, City Lord Suwu was feeling indescribable. Looking at the dispatch order in his hands, despite the unfairness in his heart, he didn’t dare to utter a word.
After all, he, a mere Nascent Soul Master, had been able to hold the position of City Lord solely because he had the support of Ling Xiaozi’s lineage.
Now that Ling Xiaozi himself had explained the matter to him, what else could he do other than express gratitude?
So at the moment, he could only obediently hand over the City Lord Token, looking at Feng Yuan with mixed emotions. Who could have predicted that after Feng Yuan had survived his Heavenly Tribulation, he would descend once again on Longevity Immortal City, becoming the new master of the Immortal City?
Even though he feels wronged at this moment, he didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction. Beside Feng Yuan stood Kaiyuan Child, who was even half a step behind Feng Yuan.
In Ling Xiaozi’s lineage, aside from Ling Xiaozi himself, Kaiyuan Child held the highest position. Now even he was just Feng Yuan’s deputy. What complaints could he, a mere Nascent Soul Master, have?
In fact, Su Wu felt somewhat relieved. At least Feng Yuan was not ruthless. He had just said that he would let him manage the Internal Affairs Office of the City Lord Mansion, which was quite face-saving.
Thinking about this, Su Wu’s face was full of warmth. He took the initiative to speak, “City Lord, even though you have stayed in the Immortal City before, you were under prohibition at that time and may not be fully aware of many situations in the city. If you don’t mind, how about I give you a detailed introduction?”
In fact, Feng Yuan and Kaiyuan Child already knew about the condition of Immortal City. After all, this was the place that Chunyangzi and Ling Xiaozi had prepared for their advancement. But they didn’t stop Su Wu from introducing it at this moment.
Even though Su Wu knew that Feng Yuan was aware of the Immortal City’s situation, he was merely trying to curry favor and show his absolute loyalty.
So in the face of Su Wu’s insightful behavior, how could Feng Yuan and Kaiyuan Child act unkindly?
Especially Feng Yuan, his feelings for Longevity Immortal City were very complex. After all, if not for the cause and effect of the Immortal City, he would probably have died from his fate calamity.
Soon after, with the intentional coordination of the three of them, the atmosphere was harmonious. The news of Feng Yuan becoming the City Lord of Longevity Immortal City quickly spread throughout the Immortal City.
All Immortal City cultivators were both surprised and delighted. After all, having a powerful City Lord meant enhanced security for them.
For example, those two Western Barbarians from the Xihe Immortal Dynasty—who would have had the audacity to act so haughty if they hadn’t taken advantage of the fact that their own City Lord was a Nascent Soul Master?
In addition, Feng Yuan was a person they had witnessed enduring and surviving the Heavenly Tribulation so their perception of Feng Yuan was extremely positive.
Under these circumstances, Feng Yuan ascending to the position of City Lord of Longevity Immortal City went extremely smoothly, practically without causing any ripples.
Only when Jin Quanxiu heard about the change in the Immortal City’s City Lord did he understand why Liang Sheng had suddenly stood up from the recliner.
However, thinking from a different angle, he felt increasingly secure. The City Lord and Deputy City Lord were both people of great might, but with the Elder’s cautious personality, if he could still be so calm now, there could only be one explanation.
