71: I'm the city lord? Really?

When everyone heard that Chen Yi had killed two Nascent Soul Realm experts, they gasped, and although they had guessed this possibility, they were still shocked.

Those were not ordinary Nascent Soul Realm experts.

City Lord Xia was a Nascent Soul Realm Perfection, an existence incredibly close to a Celestial.

Coupled with Xie Yun, he was also at the Peak of Nascent Soul.

How could Chen Yi, a Purple Mansion Realm expert, deal with them?

That’s not right.

Suddenly, the old man sensed something and looked at Chen Yi, exclaiming in shock, “Holy Son, you’ve broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?!”

Chen Yi had just broken through.

His aura had not yet been completely contained.

The old man’s own cultivation was not weak, so he sensed it.

Chen Yi had no intention of hiding it, so he nodded slightly, then walked towards the old man, reached out to take his pulse, and said indifferently, “The poison Xie Yun administered is potent, but it’s not without a cure. Hold your breath and focus your mind; I will administer the needles.”

Fortunately, the Seven-Insect Seven-Flower Poison Pill was extraordinary, but its refining difficulty was also considerable, and Xie Yun did not have many, having used them all to deal with Chen Yi.

The poisons affecting these influential figures in Phoenix Glow City were other types of poisons.

Although they could also be considered potent.

But Chen Yi had the Medical Proficiency skill, so he could detoxify them.

Hearing that Chen Yi could detoxify them, the old man’s eyes lit up. “I didn’t expect the Holy Son to also understand medicine. Good, I trust the Holy Son. Please proceed with the needles, Holy Son.”

He immediately held his breath and focused his mind.

But within two breaths, Chen Yi had already inserted more than a dozen needles into him, then grabbed his wrist and cut an incision.

Immediately, black blood flowed out.

That was poisoned blood.

Chen Yi said indifferently, “It’ll be almost done once the poisoned blood is drained.”

Then he followed suit, detoxifying the others as well.

Everyone looked at Chen Yi, unable to stop exclaiming in admiration.

“The Holy Son truly has remarkable methods; he even understands medicine!”

“The Holy Son is truly versatile!”

“Haha, without Xie Yun’s antidote, the Holy Son can still detoxify us. Xie Yun probably never expected this even in death.”

“No wonder the Holy Son didn’t compromise with Xie Yun; he was prepared all along!”

Everyone looked at Chen Yi, their eyes filled with deep admiration.

From the start of the Treasure Appreciation Assembly to Chen Yi slaying City Lord Xia and Xie Yun, they felt as if everything was within his calculations.

He was not merely strong in cultivation and talented.

His Heart-Nature and wisdom were equally exceptional!

Truly worthy of being the Holy Son of a top-tier sect!

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh with emotion again and again.

They felt that with Chen Yi, Yuhua Sect would surely advance to a Holy Land in the future.

After detoxifying everyone, Chen Yi returned to the inn to rest. In this battle, he had consecutively slain two Nascent Soul Realm experts and also broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm himself, gaining no small amount.

He needed to properly stabilize his Realm.

And the news that City Lord Xia was a Demonic Path fiend also spread throughout Phoenix Glow City, instantly shaking the entire city.

The key issue was who would now assume the position of City Lord.

Within Phoenix Glow City, there were many prominent families.

Everyone wanted to be the new City Lord.

But no one would yield to another.

If a struggle for the City Lord position were to unfold, it would surely lead to another bloody conflict, which would benefit no one.

For a time, the leaders of all the major prominent families gathered.

They wanted to discuss and select a suitable person.

After two days and two nights of discussion, there was still no result.

………

Inside Lai Fu Inn.

Chen Yi had almost completely stabilized his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.

He took out two Cosmos Rings.

These were obtained from City Lord Xia and Xie Yun.

These past two days, besides stabilizing his own Realm, he had also slowly worn away the Restrictions on these two Cosmos Rings.

Now he could finally open them and examine their contents.

He first checked Xie Yun’s Cosmos Ring.

Inside were a pile of bottles and jars, mostly various poisons.

And for Chen Yi, these were nothing short of tonics!

In addition, there were some Demonic Path Cultivation Technique books and the like.

Chen Yi was not interested.

Next, he took out City Lord Xia’s Cosmos Ring and opened it. The items inside this guy’s Cosmos Ring were much more abundant.

After all, he had been the City Lord for so many years.

He must have accumulated quite a bit of wealth.

There was a large pile of Spirit Stones, some Medicinal Pills, martial arts Cultivation Technique books, and so on.

But what interested Chen Yi the most was a token.

That was…

A demon king token!!

“Good fellow, so this guy already had a demon king token in his possession. Let me see what martial art it is… Blood Explosion Demon Skill!”

Chen Yi studied it carefully.

He discovered that this Blood Explosion Demon Skill primarily involved releasing one’s own blood and then transforming it into explosive projectiles, unleashing powerful attacks.

To this, Chen Yi had only two words…

Sick in the head.

Who would just release their own blood for no reason?!

But on second thought, in battle, getting injured is sometimes unavoidable. If one gets injured and their blood happens to fall on the enemy, couldn't one control that blood to launch a sneak attack?

Looking at it this way, this Cultivation Technique was quite useful.

However, City Lord Xia didn’t use this Cultivation Technique when fighting him.

Perhaps because this Cultivation Technique was too profound, being a Supreme Law, the other party failed to comprehend it successfully, or perhaps the other party had only recently obtained this Cultivation Technique and hadn’t had time to comprehend it. But no matter what, it now benefited Chen Yi.

Chen Yi thoroughly studied it.

Then he gave up.

Couldn’t understand it, completely couldn’t understand it.

“It seems I still need the System to give me a cheat.”

Chen Yi mumbled.

He put away the token.

Pondering his next actions.

City Lord Xia was an Elder of the Blood Origin Sect, Xie Yun was an Elder of the Thousand Poisons Sect, Bai Jing was a Saintess of the Bu Yin Sect, he had previously killed an old man from Soul Refining Mountain on the street, and for Liu Ruoyun, he had also offended Blackwind Mountain…

Thinking about it, he had already offended almost all of the Demonic Path’s Three Mountains and Four Sects. Plus, the news of him possessing a demon king token must have already spread within the Demonic Path. He and the Demonic Path were now irreconcilable.

“Tsk, I just came down the mountain and already provoked so many Demonic Path individuals…”

“Truly worthy of me!”

Chen Yi thought to himself.

He wasn’t particularly timid; after all, his current strength wasn’t bad, and he still had a Dao Protector watching over him.

At dawn, he left the inn, intending to depart Phoenix Glow City.

But as soon as he stepped out of the inn door, he saw a large group of people standing outside. Upon seeing him, their eyes lit up, and they crowded around him.

“Chen Holy Son, good morning!”

“Chen Holy Son, we came specifically to thank you this time.”

An old man smiled.

Behind them were several carriages.

The carriages were filled with various treasures.

Things like thousand-year ganoderma, ginseng, fleeceflower root, Spirit Stones, and so on.

“You are all too kind.”

Chen Yi said indifferently, waving his hand and collecting all the items into his Cosmos Ring.

Everyone: ………

You say you’re being polite, but your hand isn’t slow at all.

“Furthermore, besides coming to thank you this time, there is one more matter we wish to entrust to you, Holy Son.” The old man smiled slightly.

Chen Yi’s eyes flashed. Good heavens, I knew that giving me so many things wasn’t just to repay my life-saving grace!

“What else?”

Chen Yi had decided that if the other party proposed any troublesome matter that wasn’t beneficial to him, he would refuse and then leave.

“I wish for you, Holy Son, to assume the position of City Lord of our Phoenix Glow City!”

The old man said with a solemn expression.

Chen Yi was stunned upon hearing this.

What?

Me as City Lord? Is this for real?
