Chapter 1308 - 368: Ye Lingyue’s Private Guard, Huangquan Army!
Chapter 1308 - 368: Ye Lingyue’s Private Guard, Huangquan Army!
What a Luo Qian, the City Lord Meeting was about discussing her impeachment, yet they didn’t even give her a chance to attend.
"Outrageous! This is too much bullying. My wife, let’s go to the City Lord Meeting together."
Di Shen knitted his brows, grabbed Ye Lingyue, and headed out.
"If you insist on barging in, don’t blame Shui City for poor hospitality."
The Guard Captain had been prepared, and at his command, the guards next to him, like released beasts, blocked the path of the two.
From the shadows, a flash of Rapid Light was seen, and numerous arrows were aimed at Ye Lingyue and Di Shen.
Luo Qian was clearly prepared, determined to stop Ye Lingyue and Di Shen no matter what.
Not only Ye Lingyue and Di Shen, but Senior Sister Wan Yun and others were also under tight surveillance at their residences.
"You two, please go back."
The Guard Captain glanced arrogantly at Ye Lingyue and the others, sneering inwardly that they were too naive to act recklessly in Shui City. The City Lord had already devised a strategy.
He expected to see two trembling faces, but when he saw Ye Lingyue’s expression, he was momentarily taken aback.
"This is too much." Di Shen tightened his grip on the Nine Dragon Chant, his sharp eyes scanning around for the best breakthrough point.
"Di Shen, it is not yet time for you to act." Ye Lingyue glanced around, seeing nearly a hundred heads gathered. It seemed the City Lord of Shui City did take her and Di Shen seriously, or rather, he was wary of Di Shen.
Ye Lingyue let out a slow breath, leisurely reaching for her storage bag.
As the Life Qiankun Bag shook, golden Elixir Pills fell with a clatter before the eyes of all the guards.
The Elixir Pills hit the ground like countless beans.
The Guard Commander of Shui City was momentarily stunned, unsure of Ye Lingyue’s intentions.
Then, with a series of soft explosions, the Elixir Pills transformed into clouds of smoke.
"Be careful, it’s a trap! Fire!" The Guard Commander was taken aback. The City Lord had ordered that the City Lord of Huangquan should be stopped at all costs, and if anything went awry, they could even kill on sight.
Arrows gleamed as a barrage of them flew towards the smoke, like a swarm of locusts.
Under such a dense arrow rain, escaping seemed impossible.
As the smoke gradually dispersed, the Guard Commander took a breath as he looked at the scene before him in shock.
At the end of the smoke, there was no sign of a bloody scene.
Where once stood Ye Lingyue and Di Shen, there were now over a dozen Vajras, each as tall as an adult male. Each one held a long spear and shield, forming a wall of iron that blocked all the arrows and any further attacks.
These Vajras were, needless to say, newly refined by Ye Lingyue after she acquired the Puppet Book, utilizing the Vajra remains given by City Lord Yang and the effects of refining in the Qian Cauldron.
Each Vajra was comparable to a master of the Fourth or Fifth Paths of Reincarnation.
Earlier, Luo Qian thought the new City Lord Ye Lingyue, entering Shui City with only a few people and no decent guards, could be stopped using a strategy of overwhelming numbers.
Who would have thought Ye Lingyue was so well-hidden, blending Elixir Puppets with Vajras into this Elixir Puppet Vajra, effectively forming an astonishingly offensive and defensive Huangquan Squad in seconds.
"Huangquan Army, attack!"
With a crisp command from Ye Lingyue, the eighteen Elixir Puppet Vajras before her formed into teams of four, assembling rapidly and charging at the soldiers of Shui City with overwhelming force.
The Vajras, impervious to water, fire, swords, or spears, crashed into the guards of Shui City, scattering them instantly.
Seizing the moment as the Vajras and guards clashed, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen dashed towards the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Inside the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, the atmosphere was jovial and filled with laughter.
Most of the City Lords participating in the meeting were already seated, with the City Lord of Shui City at the head seat and the City Lord of Wuling City in the deputy seat.
The City Lord of Gold City, Yang Xuan, arrived late and was about to sit down when he noticed Ye Lingyue had not arrived.
The seat designated for the City Lord of Huangquan City was occupied by an unfamiliar face.
"City Lord Luo, why is City Lord Ye of Huangquan not here?"
Yang Xuan and Gold City owed their recent rescue to Ye Lingyue, forming a bond with her. He was here to support Ye Lingyue and ready to oppose the impeachment proposed by the City Lord of Shui City.
"City Lord Luo, Ye Lingyue is not qualified to be the City Lord of Huangquan City. This person here is an envoy sent by the Jiu Provinces Alliance. He, too, hails from Huangquan City, and his strength is formidable. I intend to recommend him as the new City Lord of Huangquan."
Luo Qian seemed to ignore what City Lord Yang had said, introducing the envoy from the Jiu Provinces Alliance to the City Lords present.
"This is too absurd! City Lord Luo, City Lord Ye was recommended by the old City Lord of Huangquan. Besides, her medical skills are high-level, she is upright, and has made significant contributions to Huangquan City. I believe she is well-suited to be the new City Lord of Huangquan."
City Lord Yang was unhappy with Luo Qian’s overbearing behavior.
Though aware of Luo Qian’s close ties with the Jiu Provinces Alliance, the election of the city lords of the nine new cities has always been based on recommendations by the old city lords.
Other than her young age, City Lord Yang believed Ye Lingyue was the best candidate for the new City Lord of Huangquan.
Luo Qian’s actions seemed a bit overreaching.
"Haha~ City Lord Yang, I heard that you were ill before coming to Shui City. It seems you haven’t fully recovered yet. A greenhorn with no Power of Reincarnation, how could she qualify to be City Lord of Huangquan? Besides, I’m not making this decision alone. Among the seven other City Lords present, who do you think is more suitable to be the new City Lord?"
With Luo Qian’s words, the other City Lords, except the Wuling City Lord, all nodded in agreement, praising Luo Qian’s decision.
"Luo Qian, whether someone is qualified can only be known upon seeing. By not allowing City Lord Ye to attend the meeting, what significance does this City Lord Meeting hold? If you insist on proceeding with this meeting, I shall not partake."
City Lord Yang, fiery by nature, was disgusted by these other City Lords and decided not to participate out of anger.
"Wait, City Lord Yang." The Wuling City Lord quickly stood up to stop him.
Angrily, City Lord Yang reached the door, only to run directly into Ye Lingyue as she entered.
