102 Taking Sides
In the mansion of the barbarian prime minister.
A group of servants were working very hard for a temporary banquet, but instead of complaining, their faces were filled with happiness. Because at noon, many monster tribes with cultivation levels beyond the barbarian sent their subordinates to give gifts, which were valuable. You must know that in the past, those demon clans did not pay much attention to the barbarian. This change gave them a hunch that their master's status would become higher and higher. And as long as the master eats meat, the servants can also drink soup.
But not all servants wish their masters good, such as the undercover agents who were inserted into the house.
Among the many busy servants and stewards, there were several undercover agents observing secretly.
The Prime Minister suddenly announced that he would hold a banquet, but so far no demons had come to attend. The undercover agents speculated that the banquet was not being invited to the demon clan in the city.
Not long after, the guess came true, and Man Xiang brought back three human races.
There doesn't seem to be anything outstanding about these three people. They are a bad old man and two brats whose hair is not fully grown. The undercover agents were not high enough, so they could not know about the dragon stone and the second pass token, but they knew one thing, that is, the barbaric prime minister would not invite unimportant people for no reason.
Just when the undercovers were about to continue observing the situation, Jin Honglian and Danrong secretly visited at the same time, which shocked the undercovers.
What shocked them was not Jin Honglian's arrival, but Dan Rong.
On the surface, Danrong is the maid of the city lord's palace, but in fact everyone knows that she is Niyu's adopted daughter. Since the old city lord left, Niyu has always remained neutral, not favoring Jin Honglian, and has not responded to Kuangpolou's overtures. No one can guess her true thoughts. However, today, Man Xiang secretly held a banquet, and Niyu's adopted daughter was present. This made it difficult for the undercovers not to doubt whether Niyu had started to take a stand.
After all, Kuang Po Lou kept putting pressure on Jin Honglian, and it was only after many tests that Ni Yu had no intention of intervening that he was so bold. If Niyu chooses Jin Honglian, it will not be that simple for Kuangpolou to win the position of city lord, at least not while Niyu is still alive.
Without hesitation, the undercover agents immediately found various excuses to report the news in secret.
The senior executives who received the news immediately met to discuss it.
"Now we're in trouble. It's probably because Jin Hongren got the dragon stone and the pass token. Lord Niwa thinks she has more potential, and finally couldn't hold it any longer."
"But Master Polou also has a pass token."
"Jin Honglian is the daughter of Lord Aoyou and has inherited the bloodline of the Golden Dragon and Lion. Moreover, at such a young age, she has the cultivation level of the eighth level of Dongxu. Given time, she will have a chance to reach the height of Lord Aoyou just by comprehending the dragon stone, let alone She can enter the secret realm and get her own opportunity. Who do you think has the upper hand, Master Polou or her? Many demons have already wavered and are leaning towards her side. If she gets help from Master Niyu, her influence will be inevitable. It will exceed Master Polou, and he will probably find an opportunity to liquidate us."
"She dares? After all, we are also her elders! We are brothers and sisters with Lord Aoyou!" said a white-haired old demon.
"Haha, you must be an old fool to say something like this. You also know that we are her elders, but instead of helping her, we chose to suppress her with Mr. Polou. Do you think she will not fight back when she gets a chance to stand up? ?"
"Not necessarily. She is as open-minded as her father. As long as we reveal our willingness to assist her, we shouldn't care too much." Another old demon said.
"Do you dare? When the time comes for Mr. Polou to blame us, we won't be able to bear it..."
Mahayana and Dongxu have a gap as wide as heaven and earth, and in Shilin City, only Kuangpolou and Niyu are Mahayana.
"The latest news is that Dan Han has also gone to Man Xiang's house." A demon king put down the sound transmission stone with a heavy look on his face.
"Both adopted daughters are gone? Niwa-sama must be planning to make a choice! No! We have to send our juniors to disrupt the situation immediately. We cannot let them hand over to Jin Honglian. By the way, we also let Niwa-sama understand what we mean. She is already old. Even if Don’t think about yourself, but also think about the future happiness of your adopted daughter.”

When several high-level demon clan officials were taking measures, Dan Han found Dan Rong.
"What's wrong?" Dan Rong didn't know the situation on Ye Yong's side. Previously, Dan Yu asked them to approach Ye Yong and Long Tian respectively. Dan Rong lost the lottery and could only choose Long Tian, so she didn't go to inquire about Ye Yong's information. . When Long Tian was invited to a banquet, she naturally wanted to follow him to find out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down, Danhan appeared.
"It's urgent, let's talk about it when we get back." Danhan has always managed her facial expressions very well. Although she was extremely happy and excited inside, she looked very calm at the moment, and her tone of voice did not contain much emotion.
"Emergency? Is there something wrong with Niyu-sama?" Jin Honglian couldn't help but worry when he heard this.
"It's not what City Master Jin thought. It's simply that Lord Danyu has something to say to Xiaorong." Danhan gave Jin Honglian a professional smile. They grew up playing together when they were children, but after Jin Aoyou's death, they almost never talked in private because of their stance. Even if Jin Honglian wanted to chat, Danhan Danrong would find excuses to keep their distance.
"Is that so..." There was a trace of disappointment in Jin Honglian's eyes. It wasn't that she was eager for something to happen to Niyu, but it was rare that Danrong took the initiative to approach her today. She thought Niyu had something to convey to her, but she didn't have a few words to say now. , Danhan called her away, which made Jin Honglian feel disappointed and confused at the same time. What did he do badly that caused Niwa and the others to become estranged?
Watching her two former friends leave, Jin Honglian shook her head and stopped thinking about it. The dishes and wine were all served. As the lord of a city and a powerful Dongxu person, she didn't care at all. She stood up, raised her wine glass, and formally thanked Long Tian and others.
Guan Dongzi and Qiu Li were very frightened, but Long Tian was much calmer because he, Yuperii, lived in the Meteor Immortal. Therefore, in his opinion, it was only a matter of time before the transcendence of the Dongxu Mahayana, even if it was a saint. Jin Honglian's thanks are not unbearable, after all, they did help.
Halfway through his words of thanks, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and then a group of demons broke in, led by the eldest grandson of Kuangpolou.
"Kuai Quanbing! What do you mean!?" Even Jin Honglian, who had a good temper, was a little angry at this moment. She just wanted to treat Long Tian and the others to a meal and express her gratitude. These guys came uninvited and were clearly causing trouble.
"Sister Honglian, we should ask you what you mean. You secretly held a banquet without calling us." Kuang Quanbing and the others were obviously well prepared and took out gifts one after another.
"Lord City Lord, please introduce any young talents to us."
"Are you Long Tian?" Kuang Quanbing's eyes quickly fixed on Long Tian, with strong disdain in his eyes: "I heard that you had some trouble with my brother."
