Chapter 2725 Successor to the City Lord

"Where is the Lord of the City?" Lu Ye looked at Lian. It was strange that he did not see Yuan Xi after he came back this time. In the past, she would have shown up immediately and praised Lu Ye, who had been promoted to He Dao, saying, "You are worthy of being my Grand Commander of the City Defense!"

Lian avoided Lu Ye's gaze and sighed slightly.

Lu Ye's face suddenly darkened: "What happened?"

He thought Yuan Xi should have gone to He He Jie, but looking at Lian's face, it was obviously not what he thought.

"She went back to Chi Lian City." Lian knew that this matter could not be concealed, so she simply told it frankly.

Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, and the big stone in his heart fell. When he saw Lian's expression just now, he thought something happened to Yuan Xi. If she just went back to Chi Lian City, it would be nothing.

He already knew roughly what the relationship between Yuan Xi and the person in Chi Lian City was.

"When will you come back?" Lu Ye asked again.

Lian shook her head and said, "Not coming back."

"What do you mean?" Lu Ye couldn't help but frown.

Lian said, "Do you remember that Changming plotted against us in the snowfield?"

"Of course."

"Changming acted like that because of Ni Chilian's order. Yuanxi ran away from home that year. Because of some reasons, she disagreed with Ni Chilian, so she left Chilian City and intended to build a Hedao City of her own. She told me that she had boasted in front of you that one day Yuanxi City would stand on the top of the inner world and trample all the ten major cities under its feet."

How could Lu Ye not remember these words?

At that time, he was so excited by what Yuanxi said that he made up his mind to follow Yuanxi.

But at that time, I had little knowledge. Now I know that, let alone trampling the ten major cities under its feet, an ordinary Hedao City is basically the extreme when it reaches the Zhou level, and there is basically no hope of promotion. This is not a problem of Hedao beads accumulation. The Hedao beads of the ten major Hedao cities all have a special existence, so they can be the ten major cities.

"She wants to say sorry to you. She can't do what she said before."

Lu Ye frowned: "Did Ni Chilian take her back?" It shouldn't be the case. When I met Ni Chilian that year, I could see that she was not such a strong person. On the contrary, Yuan Xi was more strong in front of her.

"Not really." Lian shook her head and said, "In the snowfield that year, Changming failed to plot against us, and Ni Chilian was forced to show up. If she wanted to, she could take Yuan Xi away by force, but she didn't do it because Yuan Xi made an agreement with her."

"What agreement?"

"One day when the Japanese city is promoted to the universe level, she will go back, so let Ni Chilian temporarily stop, otherwise Ni Chilian would definitely break the city by force."

Lu Ye thought carefully, Yuan Xi did stay with Ni Chilian and whispered some things that day, and Ni Chilian was coaxed to smile and nodded repeatedly, and then retreated with Changming.

From Yuan Xi's perspective at the time, an agreement was an agreement. As long as the city never advanced to the cosmic level, she would stay in the city.

Lu Ye suddenly realized!

No wonder Yuan Xi did not advance to the city immediately after he broke the Black Blood City and sent back the fragments of the Hedao Pearl in the Starry Sky Chessboard Battle. It turned out that he had such concerns.

It was only later that the situation forced the city to advance, so that Lian and others could have the amplification of the Hedao Pearl and play a role in that war.

The reason why they agreed with Ni Chilian to advance the city to the cosmic level was because both Yuan Xi and Ni Chilian knew that the limit of the city was the cosmic level.

"Grand Commander, don't worry." Lian looked at Lu Ye, "Yuan Xi will not be treated harshly when she returns to Chilian City. Ni Chilian is actually very good to her. She asked me to tell you that she thanks you for your company and dedication over the years. She will come back to visit you in the future. If you have time, you can also take this thing to visit her in Chilian City."

As she said this, Lian handed something over.

Lu Ye took it and found that it was a black piece of iron. This should be a token to Chilian City. With this thing, he can enter Chilian City through the transfer of Hehejie.

"I'm not worried." Lu Ye nodded. Ni Chilian obviously valued Yuan Xi very much. What was he worried about? He just remembered that his city was forced to upgrade to the universe level, and Yuan Xi reached an agreement with Ni Chilian, so he couldn't help feeling unhappy.

Yuan Xi was the first cultivator he met after coming to the inner world. When he first met him, he thought that this guy was a little abnormal. Who would have thought that they had worked together for many years, and Yuan Xi also helped him a lot to some extent.

Over the years, Yuanxi City has grown, and Lu Ye has also grown stronger. But if he hadn't joined Yuan Xi, Lu Ye's growth would not have been so smooth if he had been in any other Hedao City.

While thinking, Lu Ye unconsciously turned the iron piece in his hand, and the atmosphere in the hall was silent.

He suddenly looked up at Lian: "The owner just said you... What does the owner mean?"

Lian smiled bitterly: "I have to leave too. Jinrui Tower cannot be left without someone in charge. Sanniang can't take care of it."

Lu Ye suddenly realized.

Lian is Yuan Xi's best friend. She owns an industry like Jinrui Tower in Hehe Realm. She is wealthy and does not need to run out to fight for anything like ordinary Hedao. When she left the mountain, she was completely worn out by Yuan Xi.

Now that Yuan Xi has returned to Chilian City, she will certainly not stay any longer.

The reason why she has not left is that she is waiting for Lu Ye to come back and talk to him face to face.

"That's true." Lu Ye nodded slightly, "Then I wish the owner of the building a prosperous business in the future."

Lian pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll need you to come and support me more often in the future."

Youdie puffed up her lips at the side.

"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Jinrui Tower to find me. I will never refuse within my ability." Lian stood up slowly, "Also, Yuan Xi said before leaving that this city will be left to you, but the universe-level city is different from the general Hedao city, so before you have enough foundation, don't succeed the position of city lord, it will be a great burden on you."

Lu Ye nodded: "I understand this."

There are so many Hedao cities in the inner world, and what restricts the improvement of the quality of the Hedao city is not only the accumulation of Hedao beads, but also the foundation of the city lord himself.

Especially the universe-level, the foundation is not enough, and it can't support it at all, because the increase of the universe-level Hedao beads is too large.

"This city is of the cosmic level. Although there are secret techniques left by the mirage that can conceal the whereabouts, it is still somewhat unsafe. I suggest that you find a top ten city to rely on. This city is in a special situation. Although the level is high, the overall combat power is actually not strong. If there is a top ten city to protect it, it will be safer in the future." Lian suggested.

As for which top ten city Lu Ye wants to choose, it is not her place to interfere. Since Yuan Xi left, this city nominally belongs to Lu Ye.

"I will consider it as appropriate." Lu Ye nodded and stood up, "I will see the host off."

After a while, in the central hall, led by Lu Ye, everyone watched Lian's figure disappear.

Lu Ye didn't expect that his return to the city would be like this. Yuan Xi kept his promise and returned to Chilian City, and Lian followed him. The most powerful combined combat power was directly reduced by two. The overall strength of this city was not in line with the level, and now the gap is even greater.

Turning around and looking at the silent people behind him, Lu Ye said: "No need to be so serious, do what you should do, I will refine the Hedao beads and succeed the city lord."

Youdie was shocked: "Now?"

Huanqing and Fanwu also looked at him in surprise, only Fuwei raised his eyebrows.

Others don't know how strong Lu Ye is now, only he has a vague feeling that this is a wonderful connection between fate.

Lu Ye nodded.

Youdie worriedly said: "But Brother Ye, you have just been promoted to Hedao, this may not be appropriate, do you want to wait a little longer, anyway, I can control this city now, there is no problem with movement."

"Since I want to do this, of course I am sure, don't worry." Lu Ye waved his hand. If he really succeeded the city lord of a universe-level city just after being promoted to Hedao, he would not be qualified. At that time, Lu Ye could not even suppress his own Dao intention. However, Lu Ye gained a lot from the trip to Longtan, and there was no problem in succeeding the city lord.

It can even be said that if he wants, he can start the second resonance now.

But this matter is not urgent after all.

After everyone dispersed, Lu Ye took a step forward and sat cross-legged in front of the Hedao Pearl.

Compared with the top ten Hedao Pearls, the Hedao Pearl of this city is undoubtedly much inferior, but it has completely integrated the Hedao Pearl of Black Blood City, and it can be said that it has almost reached the extreme at the level of the universe.

So it can provide the amplification of so many deputy city lords.

Raising his hand and covering the Hedao Pearl, Lu Ye can clearly perceive several marks in it.

Those are the marks left by many Hedao in the city, and Yuan Xi is not among them. When she left the city, she had dispersed her own mark.

This will make it easier for Lu Ye to take over the position of city lord.

The remaining marks are those of Youdie and Huanqing. Now there is one more Fuwei, and Lian's mark is still there, but the sequence is ranked very far back.

This means that if Lian is near Yuanxi City one day, she can get a boost in strength, at least 20% to 30%.

The so-called refining of the Hedao Pearl is nothing more than imprinting one's own mark into it.

This is not difficult for Lu Ye.

It's just that the one in front of him is a universe-level Hedao Pearl, so it takes a little time.

Lu Ye urged his own power to pour into the Hedao Pearl, and the soul power, blood power and power were imprinted in it.

Only two days later, the Hedao Pearl suddenly became brighter, and a circle of halo undulated.

Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He felt the close connection between himself and the Hedao Pearl in front of him, which meant that he truly became the master of Yuanxi City!

He sighed in his heart. This city can be said to be built from scratch by him and Yuanxi. With Yuanxi's protection all the way, he never thought that one day he would become the master of this city.

But he didn't expect such a fate today.

But relatively speaking, he would rather be his own city defender rather than the lord of this city.
