Chapter 972 Going to the Banquet Alone
After hearing this, Yan Shoucheng below said with a solemn face:
"To inform the city lord, when the elder of the execution hall went out that day, his subordinates were patrolling in the fairy city, so they did not follow him. When they discovered that the elder soul card was broken, it was too late. In the end, due to the situation, only It can send out urgent transmission notes thousands of miles away to warn the sect and ask for help.
This matter is the fault of my subordinates. If the sect wants to impose punishment, I am willing to bear it. I hope the city lord will not embarrass the other brothers in the garrison! "
As he spoke, Yan Shoucheng's expression was quite solemn, and his eyes showed no dodge. It was obvious that what he said was true.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile and nod, his expression also relaxed a lot:
"Senior Brother Yan is overly worried. How can the sect easily punish those who have made meritorious deeds in guarding the Immortal City? The reason why Mr. Qin asked this question is just a routine matter. I hope Commander Yan will not take it to heart!"
After hearing this, Yan Shoucheng from below quickly bowed his hands and said in a sonorous voice:
"Thank you very much, Lord City Lord, for knowing everything. I will do my duty faithfully and never betray the trust of my sect!"
After that, Qin Tian's eyes flickered, but he suddenly spoke with a seemingly unintentional invitation:
"Tonight's banquet at the Immortal Building, all senior officials from all sides of the Immortal City will be present. Since Senior Brother Yan is the leader of the Immortal City, how about we go together?"
However, after hearing this, Yan Shoucheng's face was full of seriousness, and he politely declined:
"I would like to report to the City Lord that I am an upright person and not good at speaking. I am used to practicing hard, so I may not be suitable for such a romantic place.
Moreover, the situation in Immortal City has been strange recently, and my subordinates will be responsible for inspections later. Why not be accompanied by the rest of the monks from the garrison? What do the city leaders think? "
As he spoke, Yan Shoucheng's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but his brows were slightly furrowed, showing a completely selfless and disdainful appearance.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled and nodded in approval:
"Commander Yan has performed his duties impartially, which is really a blessing to the sect. I feel so relieved!"
.....................
In the following time, Qin Tian did not force anything, he just praised a few words casually, then directly summoned the other Dao Sect monks stationed in the city, encouraged many high-level officials of the Golden Core Stage, and even gave them a gift on the spot. There are many magical elixirs used to win over people's hearts.
After listening to the reports from various departments, he was initially familiar with the operations of Fairy City and had a clearer understanding of the situation at hand.
It has to be said that with the prestige accumulated by Daozong over a long period of time, even if the previous city lord was assassinated, it would not have a positive impact on the fairy city.
Not only are the various industries operating as usual, but even the monks stationed there are performing their duties.
But under such a calm appearance, there are often unpredictable dangers hidden!
.............................
By the time everything was ready, it was getting late.
And Yan Shoucheng and the senior officials of the garrison also resigned and left.
However, when silence returned to the meeting hall, the contentment on Qin Tian's face, which was originally extremely leisurely, gradually faded away, and a glimmer of light quietly flashed in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking secretly.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Tian suddenly spoke and ordered Qi and Long:
"From now on, you two will investigate the assassination of the previous city lord in the city. The noise should not be too big, but it cannot be too small, as long as it does not interfere with the normal operation of the fairy city!"
Hearing this, the two people below were slightly startled.
Long Aotian's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but ask:
"I dare to ask Peak Master, didn't you say before that the two major forces were already prepared and our investigation would be in vain? Why have you changed your mind now?"
After hearing this, Qin Tian smiled enigmatically:
"Now that we're here, if we don't make some noise, how can we make the people hiding in the dark let down their guard? You have to do enough to make a show!"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Mo couldn't help but his eyes lit up slightly, as if he understood something, and he quickly clasped his fists respectfully in response.
But Long Aotian scratched his head, still looking confused and confused.

The moonlight is getting thicker and the lanterns are starting to light up.
Fengming Fairy City has a prosperous atmosphere, with the crowds of people coming and going as before. Many shops on the street are open as usual, and the sounds of shouting and selling are mixed together, making the scene quite noisy.
The smell of lively fireworks has not faded in the slightest due to the darkness of night.
Qin Tian, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was surrounded by a group of armored garrison troops and was riding in the exclusive car of the city lord's palace, slowly approaching a certain area in the inner city.
Then I saw that the car was beautifully decorated, and the whole body was made of some kind of rare spiritual material. The dome was also dotted with various gems, shining with bright stars under the night.
As for the four monsters pulling the cart, it is even more exaggerated.
I saw illusory wings of fire growing on the back of the demonic beast, with strange cyan lines all over its body, and wind blowing on the soles of its feet when walking. It looked calm and intimidating, and its strength had all reached the stage of the early stage of the golden elixir.
It is rumored that this monster is called "Fire Winged Green Wind Tiger". Not only does it move quickly, but it is also quite powerful in combat. It is a famous strange beast in the world of immortality.
And the chariot was not an ordinary thing. It was called "Flying Tiger Soaring Cloud Chariot". It was the exclusive vehicle of the city lords of all generations. Its cost was extremely high and it was specially used to show off.
There is no doubt that this way of traveling is as high-profile as it can be.
Along the way, monsters led the way and guards followed. The scene was extremely grand.
Seeing such a big battle, all the monks passing by stopped to watch, obviously wanting to see the true face of the new city lord.
Some low-level monks with low strength hurriedly bowed their hands to show respect to the younger generation.
