Chapter 117 Today, I, Song Chai, have a top-grade Xinyuan Dan. Who among the heroes of Wutong dares not to submit? !

Wutong Prefecture City, the government office.

The two sixth-rank officials, Xiang Zhulu from the Demon Hunting Division and Lin Shao from the Military Division, looked at each other with expressions of disbelief:

"Could it be that this new Palace Master has not even reached the 'Yuan Dan' realm?"

This thought immediately popped up in the minds of the two people, and they felt extremely horrified.

The Lord of a prefecture is ranked fifth and holds a high position of power!
Just imagine, a position that even the leaders of the "authentic" and "prominent families" under him have to bow half their heads to
Could it be possible that the person in charge is someone who hasn't even cultivated to the Yuandan realm?

"How ridiculous!"

Lin Shao, a middle-aged man with a trembling face, shouted angrily, then raised his foot and wanted to break behind the curtain to see who this "new palace master" was and what kind of monstrous background he had.

As the head of a sixth-rank military department, Lin Shao had endured several decades of experience, and a few years ago, he finally had the qualification to compete for the title of 'Wutong Mansion Zun'.

As a result, he was no match for the 'new governor' who was parachuted in from the provincial capital after Bai Qiuyi left.

Then, they used both open and covert means to fight, and finally defeated the opponent.

Immediately afterwards, the 'Aquarius Demon Disaster' came.

Because Wutong Prefecture is not adjacent to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall and Baoping Prefecture.

In addition, Lin Shaoguan is the head of the military department, and can be said to be the number one person under the governor. Naturally, there is no need for him to rush to the front line, put his head on the belt, and fight for "fame and fortune".

But who would have thought
Someone actually conferred him a high position in the government due to his "military merits", which once again made him plan for several years to fill the position, but his plan was in vain!
Lin Shao was already holding his breath.

Before coming here, I was already wondering who this new Palace Master was and how many Yuandan demons he had killed to get to where he is today.

He was thinking whether he would still have a chance to bring him down and move up, so as to strive to leave Aquarius State and take up a position in the central government of Shenjing before he died.

Even if we can go a step further, that would be good.

But we’ve arrived at the door!
He then discovered that the new Palace Master was actually just a kid who hadn't even managed to refine the Yuan Dan!
Admittedly,

He may be a genius.

As soon as he arrived, he showed the vision of pill condensation, which means that he must have practiced a skill to the level of "Martial Arts Heaven", and tempered it on "Yuan Dan". If nothing unexpected happens, breaking through the third step and making a mid-grade pill is a foregone conclusion.

But if it was just a mid-level product, could his years of planning go awry in one day?

What's more, this doesn't make sense at all!
After saying that, Lin Shao gathered his courage and wanted to directly open the curtain and break into the place where the Lord of the Mansion was resting, but he was stopped by a hand:

"Master Lin, please be aware of your identity."

Xiang Zhulu from the Demon Hunting Division stretched out his broad palm and pulled him, wanting to remind Lin Shao that this was the Fuzun Yamen.

Not to mention that the person sitting inside is a 'young genius' who has reached the peak of the second step.

Even if it was a mortal with no martial arts skills, as long as he sat in that seat, they would have to show him some respect.

Otherwise, what do you think Dazhao is and what does the state ruler mean?
You must know that a higher-ranking official can crush people to death!

I have no control over what you do secretly or what means you use.

But at least, here, in full view of everyone.
Don't be too presumptuous!

In response to this, Lin Shao turned his head with a gloomy expression:

"Envoy Xiang, you and I have worked together for many years. Back then, before Bai Qiuyi, that old man, revealed his true identity, the three of us devoted ourselves to Wutong Mansion until our death."

"The prefectural examination is held every few years, and it has produced so many outstanding people for the entire Wutong Prefecture, and even Dazhao!"

"Over the years, even if there is no credit, there must be hard work, right?"

"Defended the Aquarius, killed countless monsters, and was named the Palace Master!"

"If this is true, then he is in the right position, and there is no one better than him!"

"But a second step peak"

"What kind of great achievements can he make to be able to sit in this position?"

Even if your father is the 'Fourth Step' of the government, you shouldn't do that!

Which nobleman, or big shot in the prefecture, has lost all his dignity and forced his own descendants to seek the position of "Prefectural Lord"?
Although Lin Shao was still a long way from becoming a fourth-step immortal, he was at least the chief of the army who could shake the city three times with just a stomp of his foot, and he commanded thousands of soldiers from the Wuguan Prefecture!

It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and the current official is not as good as the current manager.

Even though the new Lord of the Palace has a backer far away in the horizon, he can cover half of the sky for Baoping with one hand.

But in such a large state capital, with such unruly behavior, is it possible that no one can control it?
Lin Shao was furious and wanted to break in.

Seeing that the head of the military department, who was 'second to none and above ten thousand people', had taken the lead and was ranked among the cardinals and dignitaries, and was equivalent to a seventh-rank official who guarded a city, they were still watching.

But the "martial arts masters" who heard the news and rushed to the court were unwilling to do so.

What do you mean?
If we put aside the official uniform of Dazhao on his body.

So when you are out there making money, what matters is your strength.

As the leader of the entire Wutong Prefecture government system, Fu Zun’s strength is unquestionable, and he should be one of the top few.

However, now it's better.

A second-step junior.
It actually directly surpassed the heads of many Yuandan predecessors!
This is an authentic sect that has been fought for generations by several centuries-old families.
Where to put the face?
"For a newly promoted Yuan Dan, even if it is a mid-grade one, it will take at least thirty to fifty years to cultivate to the third level, the 'Heavenly Realm', and conquer a state."

"Without these thirty or fifty years, everyone here is a senior master with a long history of fame. How can a junior be put above them for no reason?"

In Wutong Prefecture City, there are seven authentic main veins.

They are three sects and four prominent families.

This time, those who came upon hearing the news included Li Yan, the ancestor of the Li family, Qiao Dan, the head of the Qiao family, and Mr. Qingshui, the owner of Qingshui Tower.

There is also Xie Qiaoxuan from the Xie family.

As an old man with a great reputation in Wutong.

Li Yan, Qiao Dan, and the owner of Qingshui Tower are all people who have achieved Yuandan for a long time. Although they are not as old as Xie Qiaoxuan, they have also been honing their skills in Yuandan for decades and are deeply rooted in Wutong Mansion.

The governor has the power to collect 'authentic' taxes.

But the "degree" of this depends entirely on how tough the officials are.

After all, according to the rules, Zhengzong has to pay two or three tenths of the income from its industries in the capital city. When all these sums are piled up, it would not be too much to support a Yuandan.

Who would hand it over without feeling the pain?

Therefore,
Seeing that Lin Shao was unwilling to accept, Fu Zun became less powerful.

The first of these three old Yuandan guys with wealthy families shouted out.

In order to compete for the title of Lord of Wutong Prefecture, Lin Shao had taken care of all the sects and prominent families within the prefecture, from top to bottom.

Li Yan's Li family is engaged in the business of "Da Yao Bao Dan". The family has cooperation with "Yao Wang Valley", the only place in Da Zhao that can be compared with "Danxia Mountain".

Qiao Dan of the Qiao family once got in touch with an elder of the "Xuanbing Cave" and has been selling various weapons under the name of "Xuanbing Shop" all year round. The demand is far from enough to meet the supply. Some of the shops that are only opened once a year are even more valuable than before.

The industries of these two families are both "money harvesters". Since ancient times, the poor have favored the civil officials and the rich have favored the military officials. For example, after the great innate emperor, it is even worse. Precious medicines and mysterious weapons. Which one does not make the martial artists from top to bottom jealous?
Lin Shao guessed that he had promised privately that if he "ascended to the throne", he would favor several businesses, and everyone would make money in harmony and no one would blame anyone.

Therefore, Li Yan and Qiao Dan naturally hoped that Lin Shao could be the lord of the palace, but unfortunately things did not go as they wished.

But he saw Lin Shao taking some action.

They are naturally happy to see it happen.

Seeing this, some people became braver.

As the head of the military department, Lin Shao, who has developed a brave and valiant spirit over the years, is middle-aged. His face is stern, and he looks intimidating without even getting angry. He snorted coldly and wanted to break in!

However----

Miso miso miso!
A snow-white sword shadow condensed in the air suddenly slashed out from behind the curtain!

Lin Shao felt the crisis coming, frowned slightly, stretched out his big hand, and pulled out the short axe 'Golden Dragon Fire Axe' from his waist.

Concentrating the Yuandan true energy, he waved his hand and cut out an illusory dragon shadow!
This "treasure weapon" of his was as sharp as mud and was forged personally by the elder of Xuanbing Cave.

Although not as amazing as the weapons forged by the 'Melting Fire Forging Method' passed down from Xuanbing Cave as rumored, it is still rare to see in the outside world and is worthy of being regarded as an authentic sect treasure!
However, it was just such an axe!
but.
He did not directly disperse the sword intent.

"Ok?"

Sense something wrong.

The sixth-rank military commander was shocked, and his eyes showed obvious astonishment. When the crisis approached, he turned around and took several steps back without thinking. Wow!
As Lin Shao retreated, the cloak of the military commander behind him rose up.

The sword shadow came, just in time
He then cut off half of the cloak behind his shoulders!

"Da da da"

A young woman with silver hair, about 28 years old, raised her sword and swung it down lightly.

Then he walked out with a steady pace, stepping on the floor, stepping on the half of the bright red cloak, and then looked at the noisy crowd with cold eyes:
"In front of the Lord,"

"You dare to be so presumptuous?"

The woman gave a light scolding, pointing her spear directly at Lin Shao, looking at the red military uniform he was wearing:

"You are the sixth-rank military commander. You are making irresponsible remarks about your superiors and trying to break in. What crime should you be punished for?"

Song Fanjing raised his eyebrows slightly, his phoenix eyes were cold, and the pressure from killing countless monsters in the past four years made the Wutong Yuandan and the seventh-rank officials present change color.

Where does this woman come from?
Wait, silver hair, snow eyes, and the half-demon blood that is not concealed
"Why does he look so similar to Song Fanjing who was conquered by the 'Demon-Slaying Alliance' a few years ago?" a warrior murmured in confusion.

"No, it's her. I have seen this woman before. How could she be so powerful now?" An official's eyes narrowed.

"Yunluan Mountain suffered a heavy blow several years ago, but under the leadership of the new mountain master Ruan Xiuxiu, there are signs of a resurgence. I thought that woman was already outstanding enough, but now I see Song Fanjing from that year."

"Now I know why we only heard of Song when we say 'Yunluan Twin Pearls', but never Ruan!"

"Song Fanjing went north to fight against the monsters and to clear his name. I heard that he had made great achievements in the past few years. Now that he has returned, is he wrongly accused? Is this really a misunderstanding?"

"But if she is not the new Palace Master."

"Then who is the mansion master that she used her sword to protect?"

Some people had bold guesses in their minds but were not sure, while others were shocked.

Xie Qiaoxuan recognized Song Fanjing at first sight.

Suddenly, his body trembled.

Song Fanjing is here.

The new Palace Master inside has not broken through to the Yuandan stage.

Then
he is?!
The old man pinched the shoulder of his grandson Xie Qiao, who was standing beside him, with shock in his eyes:

"Xie Qiao, have you seen the man inside?"

The grandson who followed beside him looked at him strangely, nodded slightly, and smiled bitterly:
"We are both fighting against evil in the northwest. How could we not have seen such a brilliant person?"

"But old man, you can be more confident."

Hearing Xie Qiao's hint.

Xie Qiaoxuan is not a fool.

He was so excited when he heard that he almost fainted on the spot. He took two quick breaths before he calmed down a little.

Immediately afterwards, he wanted to laugh, but because the occasion was not right, he forced himself to hold it back. He couldn't help but lower his voice and whispered slyly so that only the two of them could hear:
"Is that person inside really your cousin?"

"To me, these old guys really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. There is a fifth-rank palace master inside, who was appointed by the Great Zhao. How can they do what they want?"

Xie Qiaoxuan raised his hooked nose, glanced around, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Xie Qiao looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Old man.

Although you didn't say it explicitly before, your expression showed doubts about the 'greenhorn' new Lord of the Mansion.

How come everything turned sour in the blink of an eye?
You are also good at changing your attitude according to the situation.

Xie Qiao was complaining in his heart, but before he could respond, he heard a cold snort from Lin Shaotang:
"The Lord of the Palace protects the country and the people. He is responsible for all matters related to demonic disasters, the Demon Hunting List, and the Divine Blood Sect. If anything happens, the Lord of the Palace will be in charge."

“Let me ask you, can a peak second-step master control a prefecture and seven cities?!”

"For this official's sake,"

"It would be better to report to the superiors, resign voluntarily, and go to serve as a garrison commander. After cultivating for another thirty to fifty years, maybe I can also gain a good reputation in this world!"

Lin Shao took a step forward and confronted him, refusing to retreat.

This made Song Fanjing smile:

"So."

"According to this person, what kind of person can be a town guard?"

"At least, it should be able to make the many Yuandan in the hall submit to me!"

"And you think you can do it with just the second step, or in other words, achieve a mid-grade Yuandan in front of us?"

"absurd!"

"Unless he has just achieved the Yuan Dan, he will enter the 'high grade', which will make the dragon and tiger meet in the heavenly phenomenon!"

"Otherwise, I, Lin Shao, will never obey!"

Lin Shao refused to give in and insisted on having his own way, wanting to break in stubbornly.

Song Fanjing refused.

The situation fell into a stalemate for a moment.

"This Military Commander Lin Shao is really crazy about this guarding position. When he saw that the Demon Hunter Xiang Zhulu didn't compete with him, he devoted himself to it in the past few years. In the end, it was all in vain!"

"It is really unreasonable to offend your superiors by being so unreasonable. No, I can't stand it anymore. I have to go up and say a few words of justice!"

Just when Xie Qiaoxuan was fuming and glaring, feeling a little bit unbearable and wanted to roll up his sleeves and stand up
suddenly!
Wutong Mansion, above the government office!

It was as if there was a thunderbolt and a howling wind!

Accompanied by the two different visions of "the sun and the moon intertwined" and "the blue sky with blood", they intertwined and merged, and began to illuminate the sky.
Through the window, people could see this strange scene from time to time.

Then I remembered the record in the ancient books, there was a person who had the best Yuandan, cultivated to the heavenly phase of martial arts, and when imprinting his foundation.
Then his own "martial form" will appear and illuminate the sky!

"Could it be that?!"

boom!
Suddenly, behind Song Fanjing, in the quiet room that had never revealed the tip of the iceberg, there was a sudden movement.

Then, the 'clear air' like a violent storm poured into it, blowing all the Yuandans toppled over!
As the 'spiritual energy converged into jade liquid and the Huangting turned into virtual elixir', precious light shone brightly in the inner hall of the yamen.

A young man in a red robe, with fluttering sleeves, was radiant and flawless. He pushed aside the screen and strode out:

"Master Lin, long time no see."

There is a "dan pattern" condensed between the young man's eyebrows, which is a symbol of "superior quality", implying "no regrets when the elixir is successful, and connected with the gods". If it is not of superior quality, it will not even be qualified to appear.

When his sinister and angular face was exposed to everyone.
Even though Xie Qiaoxuan had expected this, he was still shocked when he suddenly saw this mistake, and his face turned red.

He just danced with joy and excitement: "It turns out that it is really the Xie family's ancestral graves that are smoking!"

Xiang Zhulu was even more shocked. He couldn't believe that the junior whom he hadn't seen for several years could actually...
Come from behind and win?

"How could it be him?"

In an instant, almost all the people were screaming in their hearts. They looked at this person and remembered the name that had caused a sensation a few years ago. They couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe it!

The new governor of Wutong Mansion took office.
It turns out to be——

Song Chaixin? !

"You just said,"

"The second step is not convincing, and even the newly-attained Yuan Dan is not convincing. Only the top-grade Yuan Dan, which is shocking, can convince the public."

"So."

The young man's eyes were as sharp as a square. He stared at Lin Shao, who was standing stiffly on the spot. He smiled and said loudly:

"It's very simple."

"Today, I have made a top-grade elixir. I will prove it to you!"

"That's it?"
