Chapter 983 Shocked on the spot
However, at this moment, Qin Tian suddenly spoke and called Qi Long who were about to leave.
"You two junior brothers, please stay! There is still a task for you to handle!"
After hearing this, both of them were secretly puzzled, but they quickly stopped subconsciously.
Qin Tian did not hesitate when he saw this, and immediately said in a serious tone:
"Early tomorrow morning, you two will directly lead the garrison to seize all the properties of the Tianmo Sect in the city in the name of searching for the Demon Sect assassins. All the income will be put into the War Hall treasury! If anyone dares to resist, they will be detained on the grounds of disrupting the order of the Immortal City. Kill them on the spot without mercy!”
Hearing this, Qi and Long were slightly startled for a moment, then quickly reacted.
Long Aotian, who was arrogant and unruly by nature, couldn't help but show excitement on his face and said:
"How could such a good thing happen? I, Long Aotian, am the best at confiscating homes. I like this job!"
As for Qi Mo, who was relatively calm on the side, he vaguely saw some clues and quickly said hesitantly:
"The Peak Master is pressing forward step by step. Could it be that he wants to take the initiative and lure out the big fish hidden in the Demon Sect?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but cast an admiring look, and then smiled with a deep meaning:
"Sitting back and waiting for death is not my style, Mr. Qin! Besides, after being passive for so long, we should take the initiative! The two major forces are not enough. Let's take a look at the Xiao Chamber of Commerce and the so-called Wusheng Palace. What is the difference? What a talent!"
Although Qin Tian seemed indifferent as he spoke, he exuded a sense of calmness and confidence.
After all, to be fair, with the strong men in the Nascent Soul stage not coming out, he really hasn't been afraid of anyone in the entire Fengming Fairy City!

At the same time, in the inner city area of Fengming Fairy City, in a quiet and elegant courtyard, a conspiracy was quietly going on.
I saw the Mangshan Ghost of Huangquan Mountain and the Venerable Nanli of the Bixiao Sword Sect, each sitting leisurely and sipping tea, their faces full of contentment, as if they were waiting for something.
From time to time, you can still hear the two people's discussions, resounding brazenly in the courtyard.
"Speaking of which, His Highness Wu Sheng is really slow. It's been so long and there's still no news!"
"Brother Nanli, please be patient. With the strength of the Wusheng Palace killer, isn't it easy to kill just a stupid young man?"
"Brother Mangshan makes sense! After we deal with this kid, we can all go back to receive the rewards!"
"Jie Jie Jie~! I'm really curious. After this kid dies, who will Dao Zong dare to send here to die!"
"Whatever, let's act according to the plan and encroach on the fairy city as quickly as possible!"
............................
At the same time, on the main seat not far away, Xiao Bufan, the young master of the Xiao Chamber of Commerce, was sitting with his eyes closed with an indifferent expression on his face, looking calm and relaxed.
However, as time passed slowly, there was a trace of suspicion between his brows that became stronger and stronger.
He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably uneasy at this moment, as if something big was about to happen.
Just at this moment, rapid footsteps came from outside the hospital.
Then I saw a middle-aged monk wearing a green robe, whose cultivation level was around the early stage of the Golden Core, with a look of shock on his face, walking in quickly with a slight look of anxiety.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Bufan frowned slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger, and then he hurriedly asked:
"Why are you so confused?"
The middle-aged monk did not hesitate when he heard the words, and quickly saluted respectfully:
"Young Master, my subordinates just received news that the assassination operation... failed. The killers of Wusheng Palace, including the Hanmei Fairy, have... ..all died!”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Xiao Bufan's originally calm expression turned extremely ugly almost instantly, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.
As for the two deputy city lords on the side who had a chance to win, their expressions became even more exciting. They couldn't help but stood up in shock on the spot, their eyes full of disbelief and shouted:
"How is it possible? Two silver medal killers from the Wusheng Palace are on the move, and the Hanmei Fairy is also helping out with the strange poison. How could such a series of killings fail?"
After hearing this, the monk in green couldn't help but feel bitter on his face, and could only continue to bow and salute:
"Young Master, this is absolutely true! It is said that although all the guards in the garrison were killed and injured, the city lord was unscathed. Now the bodies of the three killers are still... It’s still hanging in the city lord’s palace for public display!”
As the words fell, the audience fell into complete silence.
Although everyone present was unwilling to believe it, the ironclad facts were before their eyes and there was no room for doubt.
However, before everyone could recover, messy footsteps sounded outside the door again.
Then I saw a monk in green clothes walking in quickly, with a look of panic on his face and said urgently:
"For the record, young master, the city lord's palace has just issued a notice that the garrison commander Yan Shoucheng, including several deputy commanders, all died in the line of duty!"
"What? How is this...possible?"
This time, even the thoughtful young master of the Xiao family could no longer remain calm and could not help but mutter in shock.
As for the two deputy city lords, the teacups in their hands fell directly to the ground, and they were stunned and dazed on the spot.
At this moment, everyone realized that something was wrong.
After all, very few people knew Yan Shoucheng's true identity, but now at this critical juncture, he was suddenly caught in one fell swoop, and the interval between the two was so short, what this meant was almost self-evident!
And the most important thing is that the loss of control of the garrison now means that the power of Fengming Xiancheng has changed and has initially fallen into Qin Tian's control.
At this moment, in addition to being shocked and horrified, everyone couldn't help but think of Qin Tian's greed, lust, and incompetence in their minds again, and they suddenly felt bitter in their hearts.
After a long silence, Xiao Bufan finally smiled bitterly and sighed with gritted teeth:
"It seems that we have underestimated this new city lord!"
Hearing this, the ghost messenger of Mangshan and the Venerable Nanli looked extremely ugly, as if they had eaten a fly and had no words to complain.
However, at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard again.
A blue-clothed cultivator was still halfway, and he began to shout anxiously:
"Report to the young master, something bad has happened~!"
"Just now, the city lord's mansion issued the latest notice, announcing that from today, in order to prevent assassins from causing chaos, Fengming Immortal City will vigorously implement the ban on demons, all demon sect cultivators are not allowed to enter the city, and.........the demon cultivators in the city will be expelled!"
As soon as these words came out, the courtyard fell into silence again.
Everyone's face turned from white to black, then from black to purple, and finally completely blue and white, extremely ugly.
After all, no one expected that revenge would come so quickly!
In just one short night, the situation was completely changed!
