346: I'm not asking for your opinion.

Ding Teng held his son and whispered, “Before my wife passed away, she cried and told me to protect Wenle and to live well for her, both of us. I must watch my son grow up, get married, and have children.”

Qin Shilei interjected, “At that time, send Ding Wenle to Hope City; it’s relatively safer there.”

“Alright.” Ding Teng did not inquire about Hope City and readily agreed.

Qin Shilei took a moment to check the system panel and found that the other party’s loyalty had already climbed to 99 points.

This meant that as long as Ding Teng was not allowed to commit suicide or kill his own son, he would faithfully carry out any other command.

It seemed the purple item had not been wasted.

Ding Teng suggested, “Master, Dujiang City is currently without a leader. This is the perfect time to take over Dujiang City.”

“Exactly.” Qin Shilei nodded and then said, “Brother Ding, you don’t have to call me Master. You can call me by my name, or refer to me as City Lord, or Brother Qin.”

“Then I’ll call you Brother Qin.”

Ding Teng hesitated but still chose this address.

The master and servant briefly discussed it again and decided to forcefully announce on the chat channel that Qin Shilei would ascend to the position of City Lord of Dujiang City.

However, before that, a little assistance was still needed.

Ding Teng flew out of Dujiang City and commanded his tens of millions of zombie subordinates to surround Dujiang City.

Qin Shilei returned to Hope City and used Little Qiang to bring dozens of Silver Realm experts, including Lu Tian罡.

When they returned to Dujiang City, it was already completely surrounded by zombies.

With the city under siege by zombies, the City Lord, who was the highest military power, did not appear, nor did several other important figures from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Many Evolutionaries in Dujiang City became panic-stricken.

Little did they know, the City Lord’s Mansion was also in chaos at this time.

Not long after Qin Shilei and the others left, the people in the City Lord’s Mansion discovered that their City Lord had died.

Just as Dujiang City was in chaos, Ding Teng flew out from behind the zombies.

Arriving above the city gate, he loudly shouted, “Dujiang City’s City Lord Qi Pengju, for his own selfish desires, harmed my son and even tried to use my son to force me to work for him.

Although he has been killed by me, the anger in my heart is unquenchable. Now I will let my army of millions of zombies flatten Dujiang City.

When you go to hell, remember to seek revenge on him.”

Upon seeing Ding Teng appear, the people on the city wall shouted one after another.

“He is the Zombie Emperor! Shoot him dead!”

“As long as he is killed, the crisis of the zombie siege might be lifted.”

“Everyone, attack together! Kill!”

Ice arrows, fireballs, and sharp arrows rained down on Ding Teng like locusts.

“Hmph!”

Ding Teng dodged the numerous attacks with a flash, then transformed into a phantom and rushed onto the city wall, grabbing one of the most vocal Evolutionaries by the neck.

“Trying to stop a chariot with a praying mantis’s arm, you are seeking your own death!”

After speaking, he lightly twisted his wrist, breaking the other party’s throat, and then casually threw him aside.

Several more attacks landed on Ding Teng, but they were easily blocked by the elemental energy outside his body.

Ding Teng smiled wickedly and once again transformed into a phantom, rushing towards the surrounding Evolutionaries.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those people were casually sent flying by him, crashing into the parapet, and then falling to the ground, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

If Qin Shilei had not repeatedly warned him not to take lives, he would probably have gone on a rampage to Deter everyone, instead of merely injuring them as he was doing now.

“Whoosh!”

Just then, an eagle cry came from afar.

“Damn zombie, how dare you act so viciously!”

A young man in black armor quickly flew from the back of a giant eagle towards the city wall.

Ding Teng abandoned the people on the city wall and turned to meet Qin Shilei.

The master and servant immediately engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air.

Sword qi crisscrossed, and lightning flashed!

Qin Shilei’s heroic image was deeply imprinted in the hearts of Dujiang City’s Evolutionaries.

The master and servant fought from the sky to the ground, creating deep cracks in the earth, and groups of zombies were also shaken to death by the aftershocks of their battle.

Qin Shilei then transformed into a small giant, chasing Ding Teng and continuously running into the distance.

At this time, Lu Tian罡 and the others also jumped off Little Qiang’s back, comforting the crowd.

“That was our City Lord of Hope City, Qin Shilei, the undisputed number one person on Blue Star.”

“With our City Lord here, your Dujiang City will surely be safe and sound.”

“The Zombie Emperor is gone, now is a good time to kill the zombies! Everyone, follow me and kill!”

Unbeknownst to them, everyone, led by Lu Tian罡, began to attack and kill the zombies outside the city.

Before long, Qin Shilei flew back from afar, with Ding Teng following behind him, looking dejected.

“The Zombie Emperor has been subdued by me, everyone don’t panic!”

As soon as Qin Shilei landed on the city wall, he immediately spoke to calm the panicked emotions of the crowd.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Shilei then flew into mid-air, “I am Qin Shilei, the City Lord of Hope City. I have learned that your City Lord of Dujiang City has passed away.

A group cannot be without a leader. I believe I have some cultivation, and my character is acceptable, sufficient to serve as the City Lord of Dujiang City.

Does anyone object?”

The sound waves rolled, spreading several kilometers away.

His speech had already been broadcast live on the chat channel by people arranged by Lu Tian罡, spreading throughout Dujiang City.

“Qin, you are not from our Dujiang City. Becoming the City Lord of Dujiang City might make it difficult to gain public support!”

A dissenting voice suddenly came from the city wall.

Qin Shilei teleported to that person’s side, grabbed the other party’s armor, and teleported into mid-air again.

“I am merely informing you, not asking for your opinion!”

He turned his head and asked the person he was holding, “Do you think I am not suitable to be the City Lord?”

“Suitable, suitable!”

That person nodded like pounding garlic, “Qin is wise and mighty. For him to be our City Lord is a heaven-sent blessing for the survivors of Dujiang City.”

He couldn’t disagree; if Qin Shilei let go, he, who couldn’t fly, would only have the option of falling to his death.

Qin Shilei looked down at the crowd again and smiled, “I am not an unreasonable person. If anyone can resolve the zombies outside the city, or can withstand three of my moves, I will gladly hand over the position of City Lord.”

“Evolutionaries interested in competing for the City Lord position, please register at the City Lord’s Mansion before noon today. Latecomers will not be entertained.”

After speaking, Qin Shilei directly carried that person and flew to Little Qiang’s back, then picked up Lu Tian罡 and the others.

“What is your name, and what force do you belong to?”

“Qin, my name is Mu Feng, leader of the Qingyun Gang.”

“Mu Feng, take us to the City Guard Army’s barracks, then you can leave.”

“As per Qin’s decree.”

“Qin, may I ask if you are still taking in subordinates? Although the Qingyun Gang has less than two thousand people, I also have Silver Eight-star cultivation, and I am considered a not-so-small figure in Dujiang City.”

“I thought the Qingyun Gang had two or three hundred thousand people, and you had a chance to compete for the City Lord position, which is why you objected to me being the City Lord. I didn’t expect there to be less than two thousand people.”

“Hehe, I was provoked by the person next to me and just blurted it out. I hope Qin doesn’t take offense.”

“Alright, from now on, you will follow Vice City Lord Lu Tian罡 and listen to his arrangements.”
