340: The Corpse King who seized the position of City Lord

Qin Shilei frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Miss Gongsun, I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Gongsun Xi scoffed, "You came to our Dujiang City, aren't you trying to seize our City Lord's position?"

"You are overly suspicious."

Qin Shilei said coldly, "I came here only for the Space Rift, and came to your Dujiang City to have a look on a whim.

Since Qin is not welcome, Qin will leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud warning sound suddenly came from the north of Dujiang City.

"A three-long, one-short alarm, this is the highest level of warning."

Gongsun Xi's expression changed, and she quickly summoned her Chasing Wind Eagle, preparing to fly towards the alarm.

As soon as she flew up, she saw a black figure flash past her, and in the blink of an eye, it had flown hundreds of meters away.

Gongsun Xi cursed inwardly, "That hateful fellow, still claiming he has no designs on our Dujiang City."

"He's in such a hurry to get there, he must want to take the opportunity to show off his power, hoping to gain prestige in front of our Dujiang City's Evolution users."

"No, I must catch up and warn Big Brother Qi about this guy."

Qin Shilei had a moment of kindness, wanting to see if there was a Golden Beast attacking the city, but he didn't expect it to lead to such speculation from Gongsun Xi.

If he had known her thoughts, he would have turned around and left immediately, not caring if Dujiang City would be destroyed and its people killed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Shilei had already arrived above the northern city wall of Dujiang City.

Looking down, the area outside the city was a dense mass of zombies.

Those zombies were currently stopped one or two hundred meters outside the city wall, eyeing the city wall covetously.

These zombies actually didn't choose to attack the city immediately; instead, they were waiting for the zombies from the rear to catch up.

There must be a Zombie King or even a Zombie Emperor commanding this group of zombies.

Qin Shilei instantly realized this.

After observing carefully and failing to find the Zombie King's presence, he swooped down to where Qi Pengju and others were standing on the city wall.

"City Lord Qin, why have you come here? Has that girl Gongsun Xi not taken good care of City Lord Qin?"

Qi Pengju put away the worry on his face and asked with a stern expression.

"I heard the warning sound, so I came to take a look."

Qin Shilei said truthfully, "City Lord Qi, seeing how urgent your warning is, is the situation very difficult?"

"Haha, it's nothing."

Qi Pengju said with a laugh, "It's just a zombie attack, we've encountered it before. We'll handle it, City Lord Qin, as a guest, just go back and wait for dinner."

However, he secretly thought, "I've figured out your scheme. Aren't you just trying to gain a lot of prestige during the zombie attack, and then take over my position as City Lord?

Hmph, I won't let you make a move. Let's see how you play out your little scheme."

Several of his subordinates chimed in, "City Lord Qin, this is a matter for our Dujiang City, so we won't trouble you, a peerless master. Please return to the City Lord's Mansion and wait for a moment, and we can drink to our heart's content tonight."

Qin Shilei hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "I see these zombies are very disciplined. I'm afraid the Zombie King behind them is not simple. I'll go ahead and investigate."

After speaking, he rose into the air and flew towards the far rear of the zombie horde.

"Damn it, why is this Qin so clueless? Can't he tell we don't welcome him?"

After seeing Qin Shilei fly away, a burly young man cursed.

Qi Pengju's face also became incredibly gloomy, and he said coldly, "We absolutely cannot let this Qin interfere with Dujiang City's defense.

When he comes back later, we'll find a way to make him leave, at least persuade him to go back to the City Lord's Mansion."

A thin, middle-aged man cautiously said, "City Lord, according to our scouts, there are probably tens of millions of these zombies. The Zombie King behind them is probably extraordinary. Should we not force this Qin away for now? If we really can't hold them off, at least we'll have a fallback."

The burly young man glared at the middle-aged man and angrily retorted, "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense. I'm saying 'what if'? What if that Zombie King can fly? How would we deal with it?"

The young man snorted, "Do you think it's that easy to fly? The last Tiger Shark, even in the Golden Realm, couldn't fly. This Zombie King probably isn't even in the Golden Realm. Flying? I'm afraid that's just a dream."

Qi Pengju raised his hand to stop the two from arguing further and instructed, "Send people to continue scouting. I want to know the exact combat strength of the zombie horde."

Just then, Gongsun Xi also arrived.

As soon as she jumped off her Chasing Wind Eagle, she indignantly said, "Qin Shilei's intentions here are indeed malicious. He even said that Dujiang City, without a peerless master like him guarding it, will eventually be destroyed and its people killed!"

"He really said that?" Qi Pengju's face was so dark it looked like it would drip water.

"Absolutely true." Gongsun Xi said with an angry expression, "His words implied that only with him as City Lord could Dujiang City continue to exist."

"Hmph!" Qi Pengju snorted, "He looks down on others. Later, you all must perform well and let this Qin see the demeanor of our Dujiang City's Evolution users."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of zombie roars came from outside the city.

Then, a middle-aged man in casual clothes flew over from the rear of the zombie horde.

This zombie could actually fly?

Everyone suddenly had an ominous feeling.

Qi Pengju frowned and asked someone beside him, "Can your detection technique discern the opponent's cultivation level?"

That person replied with a trembling voice, "No, this zombie is at least Golden One-star."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

When the Golden Tiger Shark attacked last time, everyone tried their best but couldn't harm it in the slightest. In the end, Dujiang City survived only because that Tiger Shark left, unable to overcome the tall city walls.

Now, a flying Zombie King, leading tens of millions of zombies, was attacking the city again.

Dujiang City was probably in great peril.

Ding Teng flew to a spot not far in front of the city wall and asked in a deep voice, "I am Zombie Emperor Ding Teng. Is there a City Lord in this Dujiang City?"

Qi Pengju suppressed the fear in his heart, stepped forward, and asked, "I am the City Lord of Dujiang City. May I ask why Zombie Emperor has come to my Dujiang City?"

Ding Teng commanded, "Hand over the position of City Lord, and I will spare your life."

Qi Pengju was somewhat bewildered and asked, "Zombie Emperor, do you mean for us humans to evacuate Dujiang City?"

"No." Ding Teng said indifferently, "You all will continue to stay in Dujiang City, and I will be your City Lord."

Everyone was stunned.

This Zombie Emperor actually coveted the position of a human City Lord?

Was the other party planning to raise humans like livestock, killing a few for a taste when he felt like it?
