Chapter 124 Threats and Pretense
Dead silence!
Everyone was shocked by Qingqing's move!
These days, Qingqing almost always lives in seclusion, making them seem to have forgotten that this beautiful and outrageous woman is actually an extremely ruthless person in her bones.
Before Wu Chi showed his face, Qingqing was already a well-known master in Tiancang City. This strength is not something that can be brought by any identity, but a real fight.
Recently, it was only because Wu Chi's statement was too loud, and the battle with Lan Yuanhai alarmed the Demon Lord, which made people selectively forget Qingqing's strength.
Even without Wu Chi's protection, Qingqing herself is not a soft persimmon.
Under Lu Ding's carelessness, he didn't even have a chance to resist, and was killed directly.
Qingqing's sword undoubtedly sounded the alarm for everyone present. For a while, the scene suddenly quieted down. Even some people like Lu Ding who had small calculations in their hearts couldn't help but feel anxious at this moment, unwilling to Be the first bird again.
Taking this opportunity, Daoist Ye woke up immediately, and snapped, "Everyone, Lu Dingyi committed the crime and has already been dealt with by Miss Qingqing! I think that now we should work together to support Miss Qingqing to control Tiancang City, Only then can we seek more benefits for the people of our Tiancang City!"
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Daoist Ye took the lead to stand up with a clear-cut banner and said loudly.
"I, Daoist Ye, would like to enshrine Miss Qingqing as the Lord of Tiancang City. Are there any of you who are willing to follow Miss Qingqing with me?"
Before that, in fact, Taoist Ye had already done his homework, and the so-called quarter power was definitely not a lie.
Now with the prestige of killing Lu Dingyi, with such a shout, many people responded immediately. In a short while, almost one-third of the people expressed their willingness to stand up, which was higher than the previous expectation of Daoist Ye. And a lot more.
In fact, although it was due to the fact that Ye Daoist had contacted some people in advance, it was more of a herd effect brought about by the general trend.
Qingqing had already shown her strength, attacking and killing Lu Dingyi, the troublemaker, in public, and Daoist Ye took the lead to show support.
Subconsciously, many people who were not determined followed suit.
And this is undoubtedly a virtuous circle. The more people stand up, the more people will have to express their support.
In this kind of matter, it is undoubtedly very important to stand in line, otherwise! After Qingqing really settled down, wouldn't those vacillating people be punished by Qiuhou?
Looking slowly over the others, Qingqing spoke again.
"I'm not afraid to tell everyone when things have come to this point! My senior brother and I came in from the outside, and now the devil may not be able to open the seal of the secret realm for too long. At that time, I am willing to take everyone out together Work hard! What is the benefit of a mere secret realm? In the future, everyone's benefits will be ten times, a hundred times what they are now!"
In this kind of situation, if she directly throws out such a huge bait, Qingqing is already at the bottom of her boat.
As for whether the Demon Lord can open the seal of the secret realm in the future, she doesn't care at all! As long as she can stabilize the situation temporarily, she will have plenty of time to slowly cultivate her confidantes. Even if these people find out that they have been cheated in the future, they will not be able to leave the secret realm at all. At that time, it will be too late to regret it.
In an instant, just like Taoist Ye's reaction when he heard this, the crowd suddenly boiled.
"Miss Qingqing, are you serious?"
Without blinking her eyes, Qingqing said decisively, "Yes, everyone doesn't need to believe me, but can't you not believe the methods of the Demon King?"
There is no way to argue with this!
Who dares to question the strength of the Demon Lord?
Looking slowly across the crowd again, Qingqing continued to speak, "I've made it clear, whether you want to follow me or not depends on everyone's wishes! Since I was in charge of Tiancang City in the past, no matter what Senior brother is here or not, and I have to fulfill my senior brother's wish, and lead everyone to strive for a higher status and more benefits as much as possible."
"That's right! Girl Qingqing has already spoken to this point, don't you guys still hesitate?" Waving the sword in his hand, Taoist Ye snapped, "My Taoist Ye put the words here, who would dare to give birth now? Messy thoughts are the enemy of me, Ye Daoist, and so many of our brothers."
The one-third of the people started clamoring along with Taoist Ye almost at the same time, with great momentum.
"Okay, we are willing to enshrine Miss Qingqing as City Lord of Tian Cang!"
In just a few breaths, many people immediately stood by Qingqing's side.
In a blink of an eye, more than half of the people who supported Qingqing had already passed.
At this point, Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation finally began to come under her control.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Just as the others were not determined and were about to follow the majority to express their opinions, there was a sudden burst of applause outside the hall, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Brother Li, I didn't realize that this woman has such a cunning, and she turned the world around while talking and laughing, and forcibly took control of Tian Cang City." step into the hall.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Mr. Li? Mr. Zheng?!"
In the secret realm, those are the ones who are really in power, and everyone will naturally recognize them.
These two middle-aged people are the stewards of Skyhawk City and Tianji City. It can be said that they can decide the attitude of Skyhawk City and Tianji City without the presence of the city lord.
To put it bluntly, their identities are actually similar to Qingqing from before.
But now, naturally no one thinks that they are here on their own behalf, and there must be shadows of those two city lords behind them! The significance of this is intriguing.
Could it be that those two city lords also had thoughts about Tian Cang City?
"Brother Zheng said that, I didn't expect that Lu Dingyi would be so useless, and he would be killed immediately, which made Brother Li's hard work go to waste." Mr. Zheng said with a smile and sarcasm.
Although the two came at the same time, they represent their own interests. Once they find an opportunity to ridicule each other, they will naturally not let it go.
At this moment, everyone really understood why Lu Dingyi was so bold before, and it turned out that there was Mr. Li, the manager of Skyhawk City, standing behind him.
"Haha, it's just some small tricks, and it's not on the stage." With a casual smile, Mr. Li said indifferently, "Besides, I don't think that Qingqing girl will care about us now. It's impossible to say that today, you and I Is everyone going to return home with feathers?"
The two were talking to themselves, and they didn't pay attention to Qingqing at all.
Her complexion changed suddenly, Qingqing's heart sank, and she understood that the real crisis had just arrived at this moment.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng, what do you mean?"
His scalp was a little numb, but at this time, Daoist Ye still had no choice but to stand up and ask.
"You are Taoist Ye, right? I've heard your name, so you have some strength! But, what qualifications do you have to talk to us?" Mr. Zheng questioned after glancing at Taoist Ye coldly.
For a moment, Daoist Ye's face darkened, and he wanted to refute, but he didn't dare to speak after all.
He came here on behalf of the two city lords, and he was well aware of Qingqing's strength, so he was not qualified to wrestle with those two strong Taoists.
Since the other party wants to intervene, the situation is no longer under his control.
"It turned out to be the two gentlemen. The little girl is a little messy, but I made you two laugh." Brows raised, Qingqing said with a smile.
"Miss Qingqing, you are welcome." She cupped her hands with a smile on her face, and Mr. Zheng continued, "I heard that Mr. Wu Chi is in charge of Tiancang City. The master originally wanted to pay a visit in person, but unfortunately he has not seen Mr. Wu come back. I heard recently that Mr. Wu may have encountered an accident, and the master is very sorry."
After a pause, Mr. Zheng continued, "We came today to see if there is anything that needs help in Tiancang City."
This is polite, but in fact, the meaning of seizing power has been very obvious.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Li, please bother you! However, the affairs of my Tiancang City will naturally be handled by my Tiancang City, and there is no need for the two of you to intervene." Qingqing replied in a deep voice after her face darkened.
This step, she can't retreat!
Otherwise, without the protection of the forces of Tiancang City, what qualifications does she have to negotiate terms with those two Taoist powerhouses?
I'm afraid that in a blink of an eye, he will become a prisoner and be bullied by others.
Don’t be annoyed, Mr. Zheng continued, “Let’s not mention this for now, I just heard Miss Qingqing mention that you came in from the outside! Dare I ask Miss Qingqing, if you leave the secret realm in the future, with your strength, why should you be the god? Are these friends of Cangcheng taking profit?"
What he said was extremely heartbreaking, and he pointed directly at Qingqing's empty words to deceive people.
"I'm afraid you two don't know! Qingqing was born in Huanximen, but one of the only four major sects in the evil way, and the master is even more precious as the devil master! Although he can't compare with the devil king, his strength is still stronger than the two city masters." Strong."
A sneer overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and Qingqing said lightly, "Nowadays, there is no balance between good and evil outside! When the devil opens the seal of the secret realm, after we go out, there is bound to be a big battle with the righteous way! With the devil here, my evil way will naturally win! When the time comes , with the strength of my master, the demon lord, I will definitely become the demon lord's help! Since I am the lord of Tiancang City, I will naturally lead everyone to attack and kill the righteous sects. At that time, will we lose everyone's benefits? "
If it is confined to the secret realm, naturally apart from the Demon Lord, only these two city lords with Daotai strength are the strongest! But once you leave the secret realm, looking at the world, two Daoist powerhouses are really nothing!
After all, even if the two city lords can break through at that time, that's a possibility! It is far less beneficial than having the support of a big evil faction, or even the support of a demon lord.
This is Qingqing's trump card with which she is confident that she can convince everyone!
As long as she can leave the lie of the secret realm without being exposed, she will have room to maneuver, and she is not afraid at all that she will not be able to draw a big enough pie.
