Chapter 471 Competition for City Lord
"City Lord Ning, we have only come to join you now..." A monk with an embarrassed face stood in front of Ning Cheng, and he himself was a little embarrassed to say the following words.
This cultivator is called Lan Wenbin, and he and Ning Cheng came to pick up the Heavenly Stone one day back then.
Back then when he was on the Heaven-connecting Stone, he was optimistic about Ning Cheng. It's just that later Ning Cheng actually went to wipe out the Yinlei Chamber of Commerce's resting place, which made him a little disappointed in Ning Cheng. He thought that Ning Cheng's actions were irrational. In order not to get too involved with Ning Cheng, he brought the other three people back to Rootless Black City instead of continuing to live with Ning Cheng.
What he didn't expect was that after Ning Cheng wiped out the Yinlei Chamber of Commerce, nothing happened. Not only was there nothing to do, but after returning, he continued to level the entire Silver Thunder Chamber of Commerce. When Ning Cheng returned to Rootless Black City and occupied the City Lord's Mansion, he knew he was wrong.
Ning Cheng dared to do this because he had the ability. Now when Ning Cheng was in need of manpower, he brought the other three people to Ning Cheng without hesitation.
Ning Cheng knew what the other party meant, and smiled indifferently, "Thank you, Brother Lan, for coming to help me. Shen Zimo is helping me recruit the monk army. Since Brother Lan is here, please ask Brother Lan to help me too. Wuma Rui will stay Let me stay here, maybe some people will come to the city lord's mansion to make trouble for me later."
"Okay." Lan Wenbin didn't talk nonsense this time, and hurried away with Mao Liangpeng and Ji Ying.
Wuma Rui was tall and strong, among the four of Lan Wenbin, Ning Cheng had the best impression of him.
"Congratulations to Brother Ning for returning to the Rootless Black City." An incomparably clear female voice came, and Ning Cheng had already seen a man and a woman walking over with smiles on their faces.
That middle-aged man, Ning Cheng, knew him. He was Mu Cunjian, the steward of the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce. When Ning Cheng first arrived to pick up the Tianshi, he lived in the rest building of the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce.
"It turned out to be Brother Mu. I always thought you were still picking up the Heavenly Stone, but I didn't expect Brother Mu to return to Rootless Black City. Please come in quickly." Ning Cheng greeted him with a smile on his face.
Mu Cunjian was even more delighted when he heard Ning Cheng's words, "As expected, I did not misunderstand Brother Ning. Among the people, he is a dragon and a phoenix, and if he does not sing, he will become a blockbuster. Let me introduce. This is Gan Anran, the leader of my Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce."
"I've met Guild Leader Gan..." Ning Cheng never thought that the leader of the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce was a female cultivator, her cultivation level was not low, and she looked at least at the second floor of the Tribulation Life Realm.
Gan Anran chuckled, "I came over immediately when I heard City Lord Ning's invitation, and I will rely on City Lord Ning to take care of me in the future."
Gan Anran was checking Ning Cheng's face while speaking, and found that after she called out City Lord Ning,
Ning Cheng's expression didn't change a bit. She was certain in her heart. Xu Kai, the original lord of Rootless Black City, was really killed by Ning Cheng. It seems that it is absolutely wise to come here by yourself.
This City Lord Ning is extremely decisive in his actions. After killing Xu Kai, the first thing he did was to form a monk army. In Rootless Black City, once the monk army is formed, even if all the other forces unite, it will not be enough.
As for the rest of the people to follow behind the city lord's mansion to form a monk army, Gan Anran thought it was absolutely impossible. As a new city lord, Ning Cheng formed his own army of monks. That would definitely not allow a second army of monks to appear in Rootless Black City.
If there is no root in Black City, there will be a second monk army. Even Ning Cheng could not stand in the City Lord's Mansion safely. Just because Gan Anran affirmed this point, she refused without hesitation to continue talking useless words with the rest of the forces, and took the initiative to defect to Ningcheng.
"Please come in. Please come in..." Ning Cheng naturally heard Gan Anran's meaning, that is to say, her Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce abandoned the alliance with other forces, and immediately leaned on you Ning Cheng, please take care of her in the future .
"The Loose Cultivation Alliance Chao Jimeng was invited to pay a visit to City Lord Ning..."
"Wu Yingzhe of the Black City Formation Alliance was invited to pay a visit to City Lord Ning..."
...
It took only an hour from Ning Cheng breaking the sound-proof formation of the Yuan Mie Star Fleet and inviting them with words, to when all the representatives of the other forces in Rootless Black City gathered in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Ning Cheng invited everyone to come to the City Lord's Mansion, I am really terrified, and thank you for being invited..." Ning Cheng said when he was inviting. I never thought that these people could come here.
He originally meant to attack and divide the remaining ten major forces in Rootless Black City, if possible. Then win over two or three. To his surprise, there was no cohesion among the top ten forces in the Rootless Black City. He was divided by a simple sentence.
The Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce, Loose Cultivation Alliance, and Black City Formation Alliance that came first all clearly stated that they would stand by Ning Cheng's side.
When Ning Cheng spoke, the more than ten monks sitting in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion did not agree with them. Some people even felt a little weird that they were the same people who were gathering before. The difference is that now and before it is just a different place, adding Ningcheng.
Just when Ning Cheng wanted to continue talking, Mao Xiuxuan of Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, the City Lord's Mansion in Rootless Black City turned out to be Xukai, and this is also the place where Xukai was. I don't know why Fellow Daoist Ning suddenly Appearing here? I even heard someone outside called City Lord Ning, but how come we don’t know about this at all? It stands to reason that Rootless Black City has elected a new City Lord, and we are also qualified to know about it.”
Seeing Ning Cheng staring at Mao Xiuxuan, Gan Anran smiled and said, "Master Ning, this is Mao Xiuxuan, the vice-chairman of Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, I've heard of it. There was a scum named Cecil in this chamber of commerce, who was killed by me." Ning Cheng responded lightly.
Mao Xiuxuan raised his eyebrows, "Fellow Daoist Ning, as for why Cecil was killed, because the leader of Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce is still in retreat, I am not qualified to investigate. Now this is a meeting to discuss the new city owner. I hope Ning Fellow Daoist can answer my question directly. This is not my problem alone, it is also the problem of the rest of Rootless Black City."
Ning Cheng stared at Mao Xiuxuan with disdain, "Guild Master Mao, you can't represent others, the most you can represent is your Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce. As for why someone calls me City Master Ning, I really don't know. Instead, you reminded me that from now on, I will be the lord of Rootless Black City. Oh, you have to ask Xu Kai, he was killed by me. If you also want to be the lord of the city, it’s very simple, just come and kill me. "
"Hmph..." Mao Xiuxuan stood up suddenly, "Could it be that Ning Cheng killed the city master Xu with a trick. Do you think you are the number one person in the rootless black city? Sorry, I disagree with your city master, not only me I don’t agree. Even the rest of the people won’t agree. If you want to challenge me, Mao Xiuxuan, let me tell you. I’m not afraid of you being mere Huading.”
Ning Cheng also stood up, glanced at the rest of the people and asked, "Who else disagrees with me being the city lord? Please also stand up."
The powerful murderous intent swept out following Ning Cheng's eyes, and even Jian Xuanming felt his heart sink. Even he couldn't unleash this kind of murderous intent, Ning Cheng's strength could completely kill a late-stage Tribulation Realm, even without any tricks.
Ning Cheng's eyes fell on Jian Xuanming, Jian Xuanming's cultivation was the highest here.
Seeing Ning Cheng's eyes on her, Jian Xuanming felt a chill for no reason. He immediately coughed. Dispelled the cold killing intent and said, "Mao Huizhu is not wrong, the city lord of my rootless black city has always been elected. Now the main forces of my rootless black city are here. Why don't you choose a new city lord?"
Ning Cheng sat down suddenly, and said kindly, "Captain Jian is right, it should be more democratic. If that's the case, let's start voting."
It was as if the person who exuded a strong killing intent just now was not him at all.
Gan Anran immediately said, "On behalf of the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce, I will vote for Ningcheng."
Chao Jimeng followed suit. "I also vote for Ning Cheng on behalf of the Loose Cultivation Alliance."
Mao Xiuxuan voted for Jian Xuanming without any hesitation. Following the Void Sect, Gale and Void Alliance, Black City Refining and other forces all voted for Jian Xuanming.
Ning Cheng got four votes, namely Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce and Loose Cultivation Alliance. The Black City Pill Association also has the Black City Formation Alliance. The Void Adventure Team abstained, and Jian Xuanming of the Yuan Mie Star Fleet also got four votes.
"Ning Cheng, it looks like you can't be the city lord yet." Mao Xiuxuan was furious in his heart and voted for the four major powers in Ning Cheng. Put it together.
Before Xu Kai was here, he didn't dare to do this. But facing Ning Cheng, he has no fear. He has seen the battle video of Ning Cheng, compared with Xu Kai, the difference is too far. Ning Cheng killed Xu Kai. Definitely a trick.
Ning Cheng looked at Jian Xuanming with a smile and asked, "Brother Jian, who do you vote for?"
Jian Xuanming said lightly, "Since you and I are competing for the position of the city lord, it is naturally difficult for the two of us to vote."
"That would be the best." Ning Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Since everyone has elected me to be the city lord of Rootless Black City, I'm reluctant to do it."
"Who do you think recommended you to be the city lord of Rootless Black City? The vote just now was clearly four votes for each side, and you, Ning Cheng, did not exceed one vote. Why are you the city lord?" Mao Xiuxuan stood up again and shouted.
Ning Cheng stared at Mao Xiuxuan coldly, and then said calmly, "Since I want to compete for the city lord, I have to show some sincerity, Shen Zimo..."
"The subordinate is here." Shen Zimo appeared in the conference hall abruptly like a ghost.
"You report the results of your investigation." Ning Cheng said calmly.
"Yes." Shen Zi silently responded, and at the same time said loudly, "In the past 50 years, the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce has robbed seventy-eight female nuns who came from heaven, and killed 190 new monks who couldn't pay the black coins. A total of 231 people. There were 297 cases of confiscating the properties of new monks and killing 297 people...the above are all conclusive evidence, and they are only a small number of crimes."
The entire venue was silent, and no one doubted what Shen Zimo said, because every faction had done this kind of thing before, and it was really not a big deal.
"How many people have been recruited by the monk army in my City Lord's Mansion?" Ning Cheng asked again.
"There are a total of 1,341 people, all of whom are cultivators of Huading."
"Very good. The novice cultivator army needs a blood test. Immediately take someone to wipe out all the garrisons, rest buildings, and shopping malls of the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce... There is no need to keep anything for this kind of rubbish chamber of commerce."
"yes!"
