The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

The fierce battle ended within a few breaths. Of course, it was not so much a fight as it was a unilateral massacre.

These Hanying Pavilion assassins, who had only four to five levels of martial art, were not Lu Ping's opponents at all.

The previous assassin leader who released the Pill Biting Flying Fork Array was also stabbed across by a flying sword by Lu Ping's in the process of fleeing, and the dead body was on the spot.

Both Tian and the master and servant were seriously injured, but fortunately, they did not hurt their lives.

"Brother Tian, ​​hurry up."

Hearing the sound of someone stomping on the roof in the distance, Lu Pingan guessed that the reinforcements of Hanying Pavilion should have arrived.

The opponent's strength was unknown, and Lu Ping'an did not dare to stay for a long time, so he quickly led Tian and the two over the city wall and walked away from Wanqiu City along the remote path.

Facts proved that Lu Pingan's judgment was correct. Soon after the three left, dozens of Hanyingge's assassins arrived at the scene.

These assassins have two hall masters with higher cultivation bases, and no one can guarantee that they don't have the ultimate tricks like Dan Chuan Flying Fork Array.

In the end, the reinforcements who came afterwards only found the bodies of a group of companions in the alley. The target field and traces were gone, and no one knew who rescued him.

On the other side, after the three of Lu Pingan left Wanqiu City, they fled twenty miles away before gradually slowing down.

"Brother Tian, ​​what happened to the City Lord's Mansion? Why were you being pursued and killed?"

After confirming that there were no chasing soldiers behind, Lu Pingan asked the question in his heart.

"Oh!" Tian He, who was sitting on a boulder resting, beat his knees hard, gritted his teeth hard, his eyes cracked and said, "It's Tian Sheng, he bought the killer of Hanying Pavilion, my dad he... …"

From Tian He’s mouth, Lu Ping’an learned that about two hours ago, Tian Sheng, the younger brother of the city lord Tian Yan, led a large number of assassins into the city lord’s mansion and forced Tian Yan to give up the seat of the city lord.

This is a long-planned seizure of power. For this day, Tian Sheng not only placed a large number of eyeliners in the City Lord's Mansion, but also hired Hanying Pavilion's assassin group to help.

With mental arithmetic and unintentional, coupled with the emptiness of the city lord's defense, Tian Sheng took control of the situation the first time after the incident.

When the guards desperately smashed a **** road and brought Tian He Yu to encircle, the City Lord's Mansion was already bloody.

Except for Tian and the two who were rescued by Lu Pingan, the Tian Yan family and even the handymen in the mansion were not spared, and Tian Sheng ordered them to be killed.

"What a brute!"

Hearing Tian He's narration, Lu Ping'an was furious for a while. He himself has been repeatedly framed by his relatives, so Tian Sheng is definitely the kind of person he hates most.

"Shiwei Tian, ​​how many people are there in Hanying Pavilion tonight?"

Seeing Tian He finished speaking, he hid his face and sobbed. Lu Ping'an couldn't bear to disturb, so he asked Tian Piao on the side.

"I'm not sure about this, but with Tian Sheng's cautious style, he must hire as much as he can." Tian Piao replied after a moment of thought.

"Over the years, Tian Sheng has relied on the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and operated a number of businesses, and even cooperated with the Hedong Chamber of Commerce. The amount of wealth accumulated is unimaginable..."

Following Tian Pian's words, Lu Ping'an began to rejoice that it was only a group of young men who surrounded Tian and them just now, otherwise Lu Ping'an would have to get in too.

"Brother Tian, ​​you are waiting here, I will kill him back to the City Lord's Mansion, I will kill Tian Sheng, and avenge your family!"

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping An walked to Tian He and put his hand on his shoulder and said solemnly.

Although it is impossible for him to contend with Han Yingge's brigade, Lu Ping'an is still very confident to assassinate Dao Tian Sheng, an ordinary person in the chaos.

"No, Brother Lu Xian, you can't go back." Lu Ping'an was about to turn around, but Tian He grabbed his hand and said with red eyes.

"Brother Tian..."

"Don't say it, Tian Sheng must have a master **** by his side, you are very hard to get it. In addition, of course you have to avenge your father's murder!" Tian He looked resolute.

"This... okay." Since Tian He has spoken to this level, Lu Ping'an stopped insisting, "Go, I'll take you to a safe place."

...

Seventy miles east of Wanqiu City, Beidi Village.

The villagers here do not work on farming, but on the mining of a mineral called ice blasting stone.

The ice burst stone is a kind of spirit stone with a rank below the ordinary rank.

Although it contains more spiritual energy than the air, it is not suitable for cultivation, and is mainly used as fuel for refining furnaces or alchemy furnaces.

This ice blasting mine near Beidi Village is one of the property of the Lu family. Although Tian Sheng killed his brother and took the position of the city lord of Wanqiu, he did not dare to send people to search here.

After Lu Pingan led Tian and the master and servant to Beidi Village, he found the village head that night, gave Tian He a bluffing identity, and asked to take them in.

The head of Beidi Village had seen Xiao Lu Ping An, who was brought by Lu Tianbo to visit the mine, and was deeply impressed by this handsome boy.

Since it was the request made by Lu Jiazong's parents and children, the old village chief naturally did not dare to refuse, and vacated the best house in the village overnight and let Tian He live.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning broke through the morning mist, and Tianhe bowed in the direction of Wanqiu City on the top of the mine.

"Brother Tian, ​​recently, you and Tian's guards have been hiding here for the first time. There is no news in the village, and no one will go to inform them." After Tian He has settled down, Lu Ping'an is ready to return to the city to inquire about the situation.

"Thank you, Brother Lu Xian." Tian He stood up with difficulty and bowed to Lu Ping'an in thanks.

After experiencing the changes last night, his relatives left and became a commoner from the first son of Tianzi. This heavy blow did not make Tian He decadent, but made him more calm and his eyes were not as impetuous as before.

Saying goodbye to Lu Pingan, Tian He stayed at the top of the mountain until noon before returning to his room to rest.

Before going down the mountain, he turned his head and looked at Wanqiu City again, clenched his fists, and said softly, "Goodbye...Father...and my weakness."

Although he has the bloodline inheritance of the top grade of Huang Tier, he used to be afraid of hardship and relied on his father to be the city lord of Wanqiu City to avoid cultivation.

But starting today, he must make a change...

Wanqiu City, the Council of the City Lord's Mansion.

Under the protection of four masked guards, Tian Sheng strode into the courtyard gate.

Seeing these four strangely-dressed guards and the representatives of the three major families waiting in the Chamber, their faces were solemn.

"Elder Lu, are they..."

Ye Wuji, the old patriarch sitting next to Lu Tianwang, couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Yes, it's the Four Ghosts of Dongzhou." Lu Tianwang nodded, and said, "I didn't expect that they would become Tian Sheng's guests."

Among the killer organizations in Cangwu, the Four Ghosts of Dongzhou are the only forces that can compete head-on with the huge Hanying Pavilion.

Although there are only four of them, the magic shadow magic performed by the four ghosts of the East Continent is extremely domineering, combining defense and attack, and can turn any exercise technique into invisible, even against the strong in the Shangyuan Martial Realm. Power.

"Haha, what's so strange about this?" At this time, the old Chen Xici, the old man sitting across from the two of them, smiled disdainfully. "The Four Ghosts of Dongzhou and the Hanying Pavilion are just one raccoon dog. Since Tian Shengneng has invited Han The entire northwest sub-rudder of Yingge, what is strange about the four ghosts of Dongzhou appearing here."

Although Chen Xici's words were full of contempt, when Tian Sheng walked into the Chamber, he still shut his mouth obediently. After all, the strength of the Dongzhou Four Ghosts was much stronger than him.

"Several people have been waiting for a long time." Tian Sheng arched his hands towards the three people in the house, and sat on the seats with a tired expression.

"Tian, ​​what happened last night? What happened to City Master Tian?" Lu Tianwang asked with an unbelievable appearance.

"Brother brother..." Tian Sheng took a deep breath and suddenly choked up. "A killer sneaked into the mansion last night. Brother brother had suffered from rheumatic heart disease for a long time and couldn't afford to be frightened. Now... he is dead now!"

"Ah?!" Lu Tianwang pretended to be shocked, deliberately overturning the tea cup at hand, "Where are the killers?"

"Those villains have already been killed by the palace guard, so I don't have to worry about Elder Lu."

Tian Sheng wiped his face with a handkerchief, then raised his head and said to everyone, "Wanqiu City is a pivotal place. You can't be left alone for a day. I invite the elders to come and hope that the three major families will come forward to maintain order in the city. Until the new city lord is elected."

"Haha, shopkeeper Tian was joking. The city lord has always been appointed by Luo Tian. How can there be an election?" Chen Xici tapped the table and joked.

Hearing this, Tian Sheng frowned slightly, but his expression immediately returned to normal.

"Don't get me wrong with a few elders. How can I dare to intervene in the appointment of the city lord for a merchant in Tiansheng District?" Tian Shengyi said righteously, "but the situation is grim at the moment. The Wanqiu Grand Competition is about to begin. Row."

"Well, shopkeeper Tian made a point. The court attaches great importance to this year's Grand Competition, and it must not be suspended due to the changes in the City Lord's Mansion."

At this moment, Ye Wuji, who had been silent next to him, finally spoke, "In my opinion, the seat of the city lord is not as good as the treasurer of Tian. You are the younger brother of the city lord. You don’t have to worry about serving the public. The court will definitely do it. Give understanding."

"Yeah, it can only be done like this." Lu Tianwang also said, "City Lord Tian has been very caring for my Lu family over the years. After I go back today, Lu will definitely try to convince the owner of the house."

Lu Tianwang's words were very clever, leaving room, and did not pack the ticket, and it was also a hint to Tian Sheng.

Whether the Lu family can finally come forward to help depends on Tian Sheng's subsequent performance.

"Thank you Elder Lu and Elder Ye!" After Ye Wuji and Lu Tianwang said these words, Tian Sheng finally took a reassurance, "You can rest assured, I, Tian Sheng, will definitely not let the two of them contribute in vain."

In fact, early this morning, he revised the book and gave it to Luo Tiancheng, demonstrating that the imperial court was temporarily acting as the lord of Wanqiu City.

A month ago, Tian Sheng had already sent one hundred thousand gold to the office of Shangshu, the official department. As long as he could manage this Wanqiu competition, it was only a matter of time before he turned from an agent to an official one.

Of course, the premise of everything is to get the support or acquiescence of the three major cultivator families in Wanqiu City.

"Ahem...Since Elder Lu and Elder Ye have both said so, then I naturally have no reason to object, City Lord Tian, ​​you will rely on you for Wanqiu Grand Biography next month."

Chen Xici was originally responsible for singing the white face. When Tian Sheng was willing to provide compensation, he immediately expressed his support.

In this way, after some discussions, the three major families agreed to come forward to maintain order in the city and elected Tian Sheng as the acting city lord.

In contrast, Tian Sheng wanted to provide Ye family with live feed for the thousand-year-old corpse bones in the clan land for the next ten years. In addition, Chen and Lu received the same standard of remuneration.

Everyone is happy.
