Seeing Ling Xiao making his move, Duan Lang finally understood what he wanted to do. It turned out that it was not because he did not want the Unparalleled City, but rather, he wanted to know how many people wanted to fight with him.
Duan Lang knew that Ling Xiao was about to make a move, and he actually couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
Arriving at the great hall at the center of the city, Ling Xiao saw a middle-aged man seated on the City Leader. In front of him, several tens of people bowed their heads in submission.
"Hehe, the new Lord City Leader, how do you do?" Ling Xiao walked forward with his hands behind his back, and laughed loudly.
Seeing that Ling Xiao had arrived, the person on the seat also laughed and replied: "Gongzi Ling, the position of City Leader, you should belong to the capable. You're the one who said that."
"Of course, the capable will." Ling Xiao smiled, but his footsteps did not stop as he continued to walk towards the man.
Seeing Ling Xiao like this, the man in the seat gradually became vigilant.
"Gongzi Ling, what are you doing?" the man asked.
Ling Xiao remained silent.
The man was afraid. He stood up, pointed at Ling Xiao and shouted, "Everyone forward, seize Ling Xiao!"
However, no one listened. Everyone was looking at the scene, without any sort of reaction.
Ling Xiao laughed: "Seems like you do not have any dignity as a City Leader."
"How could this be? Do you all want to rebel?" Hurry up and kill him! " The man's expression started to become sinister, his mind kept replaying the scene of Ling Xiao taking action.
Just as he was about to leave, the man suddenly turned around and tried to escape.
However, with a muffled bang, the man fell from his high position with a huge dent on his chest. The man's face was filled with fear as his eyes widened. His body no longer moved.
Needless to say, he was instantly killed by Ling Xiao's fist.
"He's so weak, and here I was wondering if someone with some ability could become the City Leader?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a look of disdain.
Someone on the scene opened his mouth and said: "Gongzi Ling, it's not that you're weak, it's just that those powerful people have suffered heavy casualties."
"Oh? It's only been a short amount of time, yet you guys are already fighting so intensely. Hehe, you really don't even want your own life for the sake of power. "
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the position of the City Leader, and directly sat on it.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall fell silent.
"I'll give you guys a chance. If you want to challenge someone, come. Or, you can just stay there." Ling Xiao crossed his legs and said extremely arrogantly.
Once those words were said, everyone bowed respectfully.
"Gongzi Ling has come to become the Unparalleled City, we do not have any objections." One of them said.
The rest of the people immediately chimed in.
"At least you know your place. Otherwise, you would end up like this person." Duan Lang pointed to the dead man on the ground and said.
"We are naturally willing to follow Gongzi Ling." Everyone quickly said.
Ling Xiao looked at the people around him, then asked: "What's the situation in the city?"
"There are still quite a few people who refuse to accept the fact that Dugu Xingfeng has died and choose to leave. However, most people are very happy after hearing that Dugu Xingfeng has died and say that he deserved to die." One of them said.
"As expected, this Dugu clan must have done a lot of evil deeds before. Those who left should be people who exploited the servants. Send people after them and kill them all." After Ling Xiao heard this, he immediately gave the order.
Hearing this, everyone raised their hands to signal them to do it.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao frowned: "It's too messy, but there should be a lot of people leaving, go ahead, I want their names, previous positions in Unparalleled City, and I want them alive."
"Living? This is not easy to catch. Why not just kill them? They are all people who have done evil deeds, so we cannot let these people get away with it. " Duan Lang asked in confusion.
Ling Xiao glanced at Duan Lang, and said indifferently: "I want him alive, is there a problem?"
Hearing that, Duan Lang immediately cupped his fists and said: "Yes, we caught them alive."
"Just lead the team and capture all these people within two days and interrogate them properly. There will definitely be innocent people among them. I cannot break the rules and kill them as I please. Wouldn't I become the lone party then?" Ling Xiao continued.
"Yes!" Master City Leader! Duan Lang bent down and said respectfully.
Everyone below the seats also shouted loudly: "Lord City Leader is wise!"
When the people of the Unparalleled City found out that Ling Xiao was the new City Leader, they did not have any disagreements. However, when this news reached the ears of the guards of the Unparalleled City, they did not have any good impression of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao understood their thoughts. They were the people at the bottom of Unparalleled City, and not only did they not receive much attention, they were often bullied. Naturally, they did not have good impressions of the people at the top.
Therefore, no matter who became the City Leader, they would not trust them too much.
And the next step for Ling Xiao was to gain their trust.
On the surface, the current Unparalleled City did not seem to have any problems, but in reality, it was just a piece of loose sand. The new City Leader, the new management, was also the beginning.
If he wanted the Unparalleled City to stabilize as quickly as possible, then dealing with the guards at the bottom level, who had the most good people, would be the most crucial point. This was what it meant by gaining the hearts of the people.
After everyone had left, Ling Xiao left the hall and went to Miss Mingyue's room.
At this moment, Miss Mingyue seemed to have regained her color, and she seemed to have recovered very well.
"How is it?" Ling Xiao said gently.
I should be fine by tomorrow. The maternal grandma has been taking care of me the entire time. " Miss Mingyue said.
When Ling Xiao heard it, he smiled: "That's good, the Unparalleled Yin Yang Sword needs a lot of inner force, the last time you got sucked dry, and the damage to your core, you only recovered your body after recuperating for a few days, your dantian is still injured, but don't worry, I will help you recover."
"Mhmm, you said it's fine, but I'm not afraid." Lady Mingyue revealed a very cute smile.
Ling Xiao reached out and pinched Lady Mingyue's cheek, and said: "It's been hard on you. The two of you probably didn't have a good time at Unparalleled City just now either.
Hearing this, Miss Mingyue could not help but be taken aback, asking, "Ling Xiao, what are you doing? What about you?"
"Hehe, don't be so agitated, I am naturally still a City Leader, and you will become the wife of the City Leader. If I am not in the city in the future, then you will be the one to exercise my authority in the City Leader." Ling Xiao laughed.
Only then did Lady Mingyue heave a sigh of relief. With a bashful expression, she said, "You scared me to death. I thought you were going to leave."
"Of course we have to get married." Ling Xiao smiled.
