367: Wonderful capture of the city of Deva

Qin Shilei took off the opponent's Space Ring and stripped him of his equipment.

There were a total of four purple items.

They were the Phantom Dagger, Dark Moon Soft Armor, a pair of Telepathic Talismans, and the Soul Suppressing Bead.

The Phantom Dagger and Dark Moon Soft Armor were more suitable for dark-attributed assassins; the soft armor was partially damaged but still usable. They could be exchanged with others or given as rewards to subordinates.

The Soul Suppressing Bead was a bracelet, similar to the mystic jade pendant, with the effect of protecting the soul and enhancing mental power.

Qin Shilei kept the Soul Suppressing Bead for himself and gave the mystic jade pendant to Zhang Xiaoli.

The opponent's Space Ring was also a top-grade one with a hundred cubic meters, which could be given to someone close to him.

After tidying up the spoils of war, he looked down at the corpse on the ground, which had been cut into several pieces.

He murmured, "Since you're dead, I'll reluctantly help you look after Litian City."

After speaking, he summoned the Glutton, who swallowed the opponent's corpse in one gulp.

Qin Shilei took out the Faceless Mask again and put it on, transforming into Ye Litian.

Bang bang bang!

"City Lord, are you alright in there?"

Du Shankui's concerned voice came from outside the room.

Qin Shilei opened the door and said indifferently, "An assassin appeared just now. Have someone clean up the room. I'm going out."

After speaking, he flew directly out of the mansion.

First, he went to the rooftop where he had been earlier and sent Ye Jincheng to reunite with his son, then he hurried back to Hope City.

Three hours later.

Qin Shilei returned to Litian City again with Xia Yunyan and more than ten elites.

As they walked into the City Lord's Mansion side by side, Du Shankui said with an envious look, "City Lord, is this lady also our City Lord's wife?"

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "No, this will be our Litian City's Vice City Lord. Immediately notify everyone to come for a meeting; I want to announce the establishment of the Vice City Lord position."

Although Du Shankui was a bit puzzled, he quickly called all the high-ranking officials of Litian City to the City Lord's Mansion.

In the conference room, when Qin Shilei announced that Xia Yunyan would serve as the Vice City Lord, everyone showed surprised expressions. They began to whisper among themselves.

"Why did the City Lord suddenly appoint a woman as Vice City Lord?"

"Looking at this woman's outstanding appearance, he probably wants to win the beauty's favor."

"That's not strange. It's just that the power given to Vice City Lord Xia is too great, isn't it?"

"Exactly, it's practically no different from our City Lord's power."

Although the people present did not dare to say much about Qin Shilei's appointment, their eyes changed, and some even showed indignation.

Qin Shilei gave Xia Yunyan a look.

The latter immediately understood and released her aura, which belonged to the Golden Realm.

Everyone present instantly felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on them.

Xia Yunyan scanned the room and said in a deep voice, "Let me introduce myself, Xia Yunyan, Golden One-star. From now on, I am your Vice City Lord. If anyone has an objection, you can challenge me at any time."

Only then did everyone realize that the other party was actually a Golden Expert.

They all spoke up, saying, "Absolutely no objection! I firmly support the City Lord's order and will treat Vice City Lord Xia as I would the City Lord."

At this point, everyone accepted the newly appointed Vice City Lord from the bottom of their hearts.

After everyone dispersed, Xia Yunyan walked around Qin Shilei several times.

She exclaimed, "City Lord, your mask is truly amazing. They couldn't tell at all that you were impersonating him."

"Watch your words!" Qin Shilei reminded her, "Once you completely take control of Litian City, then I, Ye Litian, can leave Litian City forever."

Xia Yunyan said confidently, "City Lord, please rest assured, I will quickly take complete control of Litian City."

If Qin Shilei hadn't impersonated Ye Litian, they could have taken Litian City with their two Golden Experts.

But that would have certainly led to resistance from the people of Litian City, as well as various forms of non-cooperation.

However, with the Faceless Mask, everything became as easy as pie.

It was also to make everyone misunderstand that there might be some ambiguous relationship between the City Lord and the Vice City Lord.

Qin Shilei also specifically chose Xia Yunyan to subdue Litian City, instead of Han Hongyu, a big man.

After Qin Shilei stayed in Litian City for two days with the mask on, Xia Yunyan had basically established absolute authority in Litian City.

It was also at this time that thousands of elites from the Cloud Smoke Pavilion traveled over a thousand kilometers from Hope City to Litian City.

As a result, Litian City had unknowingly become part of the Qin An Royal Mansion's sphere of influence.

Qin Shilei instructed, "Yunyan, Litian City is close to the Space Rift of the Abyss Realm. You should always pay attention. Once demons appear, you must notify everyone in time through the Telepathic Talisman. If the situation is critical, there's no need to stay trapped in Litian City."

"City Lord, I understand." Xia Yunyan nodded.

"Then I'm leaving." Qin Shilei gave a few more instructions and prepared to leave.

"City Lord, I will definitely help you look after your seven or eight beautiful wives in the mansion." Xia Yunyan said with a teasing look.

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't touched a single finger of theirs." Qin Shilei said with a face full of black lines.

Alas, these people of the world, why do they always think of your wise and mighty Qin An King in such a despicable way?

Is Cao Thief really that captivating?

Hmm, this is worth researching.

"In a few days, you can kick them all out of the City Lord's Mansion."

After leaving this sentence, Qin Shilei flew directly back to Hope City.

An Qian, Zhang Xiaoli, and Kong Qingshu were all in Hope City at this time.

After a warm dinner, the few of them sat on the sofa and chatted.

An Qian asked, "Shi Lei, for the five newly established cities, who are you planning to make City Lords?"

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment and replied, "How about Han Hongyu, Wen Zhiyuan, Xie Xingjian, Jin Hongye, and He Kaige?"

Zhang Xiaoli, however, laughed, "He Kaige probably won't be willing to leave Aya City. He's currently hitting it off with Shen Feixue."

An Qian suggested, "Then let the people of Tianan Prefecture nominate someone for the last City Lord position."

"Alright." Tan Anguo and the others had also contributed greatly to the management of the Qin An Royal Mansion; they deserved a city.

Now, the Qin An Royal Mansion's influence had spread across most of the Great Xia Country.

The dense zombies within the country had also been driven out, and the insects were almost under control.

Survivors who were previously scattered in various places had also been successively relocated to cities protected by City Guardian Monuments.

The movement of survivors between various cities was no longer as dangerous as before.

The harvested mutated corn was also distributed to various cities for planting.

Hunger was no longer the main problem plaguing the survivors of Great Xia.

Due to Qin Shilei's presence, the Great Xia Country had gained a firm foothold in the apocalypse and began to develop positively.

An Qian and Kong Qingshu no longer had to constantly guard Beian City and Junhai City.

Kong Qingshu asked, "Qin Dage, it seems like many foreigners have arrived in our Hope City recently. They are probably trying to scheme for our Enlightenment Tea. Should we expel them all?"

Qin Shilei thought for a moment and replied, "No need. Closing ourselves off is not good after all.

However, their information must be registered properly. Once they harbor ill intentions, they must be suppressed with thunderous means."

After all, some of the survivors in the Great Xia Country were also foreigners.

Qin Shilei paused and then said, "Let's go see the Enlightenment Tea, and maybe go for a swim or something."

"
