Chapter 1127 The Envoy with Unpredictable Moods
The main hall of the city lord’s mansion,
On both sides sat the leaders of various major forces from Tongzhou City, with the Ruan family prominently seated in the front row!
These figures held significant influence in Tongzhou City, but now in this place, they were all extremely obedient. Even though they had been waiting for two hours, they dared not show the slightest complaint.
The four words “Divine Mountain Envoy” weighed as heavy as Mount Tai,
Let alone making them wait for two hours, even if they had to wait for two years, what could they do about it?
“Just got news that the envoy went to take a dump! Should be back soon…”
“Sigh! I wonder what this envoy’s personality is like? The previous envoy was quite nice, without much pretense.”
“Shh! Keep your voice down. I heard this envoy is a spoiled young master, very fierce and ruthless. Everyone should talk less.”
The leaders of the various forces whispered among themselves.
Hearing these words,
Ruan Jingtian, the head of the Ruan family, felt somewhat uneasy.
The Divine Mountain Envoy was someone their Ruan family must win over, otherwise even if they defeated the city lord’s mansion this time, it would be useless.
For cultivators of the Taixu Realm,
The Four Divine Mountains were equivalent to celestial palaces, and the people inside were immortals. Anyone who came out was not someone ordinary people could provoke. Throughout ancient history, those who dared to provoke the Divine Mountains, without exception, died the most terrible deaths!
Think about it,
How powerful was the Ancient God Clan back then?
But now? Aren’t they also suppressed by the Divine Mountains to the point where they don’t dare show their faces? While this is partly due to the curse on the Ancient God Clan, the undeniable fact is the power of the Divine Mountains!
“Thump, thump, thump!”
At this moment,
Footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
The bustling hall immediately fell silent. Everyone turned their gaze toward the door, only to see a nonchalant young man in black clothes, accompanied by a white-haired elder, strolling in leisurely.
Behind the two were many elites from the city lord’s mansion. Even the proud young city lord was now just a small attendant.
“He’s here!”
Everyone’s hearts tightened.
Those with any perception hurriedly stood up to welcome him, respectfully calling out:
“The Wang family of Tongzhou City pays respects to the Envoy!”
As soon as these words were spoken,
It triggered a chain reaction.
The leaders of various forces came forward to greet him, their attitudes couldn’t be more proper, and the flattering smiles never left their faces.
But faced with everyone’s enthusiasm,
Li Shao wore a look of disdain. Due to his status, in his eyes, these people were all ants, so how could they enter his sight?
If it weren’t for this visit for pleasure,
These people would never have had any interaction with him.
In other words, even the dogs at his home were better than these ants!
“Alright, alright! Stop making noise. It’s early morning, and you’re giving me a headache.”
Li Shao sat in the main seat and impatiently waved his hand.
Seeing this, everyone became increasingly uneasy.
It seemed the rumors were true. This envoy was very difficult to please. They must be extremely careful, otherwise, if they made the envoy unhappy, any one of them could be finished!
“Is everyone here?”
Li Shao asked the young city lord Pang Jing.
Pang Jing, with a respectful expression, checked the list of visitors and then said:
“Except for the Wind Moon Pavilion and the Zhang family, representatives from all the notable forces in Tongzhou City have come to pay their respects.”
“Wind Moon Pavilion and Zhang family? What kind of nobodies are they! They dare not come to see me?”
“I won’t allow such arrogant forces to exist. Send people to destroy these two forces…”
Li Shao said casually.
Pang Jing’s face froze upon hearing this. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing. He only turned to his attendant and whispered a few words.
The attendant immediately nodded,
And by the city lord’s command, led a team to surround and attack the Wind Moon Pavilion and the Zhang family.
Seeing this scene,
The leaders of the various forces present felt goosebumps all over their bodies, silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound.
This envoy was too domineering, ordering the extermination of entire families at the slightest provocation.
“What’s wrong? Do you have objections to my decision just now? All gone mute?”
Li Shao held his teacup, drinking tea while asking leisurely.
His casual manner gave the impression of being calm and approachable.
“No objections!”
“The envoy is joking. Of course we have no objections!”
A group of people squeezed out smiles in response.
“Even if you had objections, you’d better keep them to yourselves. If you’re going to be dogs, you should have the awareness of being dogs.”
Li Shao chuckled lightly.
Everyone remained silent, not knowing how to respond.
Was this really a spoiled young master? Spoiled young masters might be arrogant, but they would at least talk some sense. This envoy was completely unreasonable, treating them like pigs and dogs, yet they dared not say a word of disagreement.
“The purpose of my visit, everyone should already know! Three days later, the city lord election. Do you have any suggestions? You can all tell me.”
Li Shao changed the subject, asking with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
The leaders of the various forces below exchanged glances, not knowing Li Shao’s intentions.
At this time,
Ruan Jingtian, the head of the Ruan family, gave a signal to a middle-aged man not far away.
The middle-aged man was called Wang Hai, the head of the Wang family in Tongzhou City. The Wang family was a firm supporter of the Ruan family, always supporting the Ruan family’s rise to power.
“In response to the Envoy! During the time the Pang family has been city lord, Tongzhou City hasn’t developed well. I suggest that in the city lord election three days later, we should start anew and choose a more suitable person to manage Tongzhou City.”
Wang Hai stepped forward and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this,
The scene grew even quieter.
Young city lord Pang Jing coldly looked at Wang Hai, as if looking at a dead man.
“Oh? Change people? Who do you suggest should replace them? You?”
Li Shao stood up and walked in front of Wang Hai.
Wang Hai’s heart jumped, suddenly feeling nervous, but he still forced himself to say:
“I think the Ruan family is suitable. The Ruan family’s strength is evident, and they have many talented people. They are definitely much better than the Pang family… Although Tongzhou City is not large, it is still a subordinate force of the East Divine Mountain. If Tongzhou City develops well, it will also bring honor to the East Divine Mountain!”
“Hmm! That makes sense.”
Upon hearing this, Li Shao immediately revealed a smile and nodded in agreement.
“I just like people like you who dare to speak up and offer opinions!”
“It’s mainly because the Envoy makes people feel kind, so I dared to speak boldly.”
Wang Hai subtly flattered him.
Seeing this scene, the others present finally relaxed.
Although this envoy was cold-blooded and ruthless, he still took the city lord election seriously, otherwise he wouldn’t have praised Wang Hai.
But the next moment.
Li Shao, still smiling, suddenly drew the golden knife from a nearby guard and violently stabbed it into Wang Hai’s chest.
Wang Hai couldn’t dodge in time, or rather he didn’t dare to dodge. In the end, he was stabbed through the heart by Li Shao. A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth, splattering onto Li Shao’s smiling face.
