Chapter 189 I Know What to Do

West Wind City was completely bustling this time.

The reason is that the City Patrol Guards need to recruit City Patrol Guards, and not just one or two, but more than a thousand.

The fact that the city patrol guards killed Pan Qi and Gu Zhanjian and completely took control of Xifeng City was not a strange thing for most people.

Because the leaders in Xifeng City often change, and Pan Qi has only risen in recent years. He killed his predecessor and took over his territory. It's that simple.

But it’s not enough after the city patrol guards took over the territory. They even wanted to recruit city patrol guards and offered them quite good treatment.

One crystal stone per month is barely enough for ordinary low-level cultivators to practice and use.

This is just one of the points. The patrol guards actually controlled the city gates and even the household registration department, introduced new rules, and banned the branches of joy...

No matter what happens in the future, the current recruitment of patrol guards has attracted most of the people who live in West Wind City but have no regular source of income.

In less than half a day, as many as five thousand people signed up.

If Yan Mei had not stopped the registration in time, it would not be surprising that the number of people registering would have exceeded 100,000.

Twelve hundred people were selected from five thousand, and almost every one of them exceeded the original requirements.

Yan Mei was very adept at doing these things.

After he screened out 1,200 people, he appointed five guards again, and Wu Xun and Beihor were among them.

Each of these guards led a hundred men to the east, south, west and north cities of West Wind City for reorganization.

Not only that, the chief of guards would set up patrol guards in the four cities of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest to avoid untimely response.

As for Gu Bin, he was appointed as the chief of the city defense, guarding Xifeng City with 500 men.

Even the recorder Peng Leizhi was employed by Yan Mei, and his tasks were even heavier.

Peng Leizhi took over the household registration office with a hundred people and controlled the household registration of all people in Xifeng City. The non-registered population was immediately re-registered.

In addition to the Household Registration Department, Peng Leizhi also has to control the Taxation Department.

……

In a small courtyard in Dajing District.

Ding Huan easily untied the simple restrictions on the four storage bags. The largest space of these storage bags was less than two cubic meters, which was far less than the Star House.

What shocked Ding Huan was that he had collected a total of 50,000 crystals in four storage bags.

Especially the storage bags of Pan Qi and Gu Zhanjian, the total number of crystals in the two people is 40,000.

There were also a pile of various low-level spiritual herbs, ores, low-level skills, magical instruments, etc. in the four storage bags. Ding Huan put all of these into his own storage bag.

In one of the storage bags, Ding Huan also found a sign with the words "Ascension Realm" written on it. He didn't know what it was for, but he threw it into the Star House first.

After sorting out his things, Ding Huan planned to wait for Yan Mei to come back, pass the Luo Shi Jing to Yan Mei, and then start to retreat to deduce the direction of his own foundation building.

At this moment, the simple restriction outside the yard was triggered by someone.

Ding Huan sent out his spiritual sense and saw a woman in black.

He felt that when Yan Mei came back, he would still have to set up a protective formation outside this courtyard...

The protective formation in the yard makes it inconvenient for Yan Mei to enter and exit, so he should at least set up a protective formation outside his room.

If he was disturbed from time to time when he was in seclusion to deduce the direction of his foundation building, would he still continue to seclude himself?
"Who are you looking for?" Ding Huan walked out of the yard.

The woman in black bowed to Ding Huan:

"City Lord Xue wants to invite you to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat. I wonder if you have time?" The black-clothed woman said politely.

Ding Huan thought that he had killed Pan Qi and Gu Zhanjian, and was demanding to occupy the central city area. Sooner or later, he would have to fight this guy.

In order to avoid being woken up when I am in seclusion in the future, it is better to make an appointment with this guy first.

"Okay, lead the way." Ding Huan agreed to the invitation of the woman in black.

When the two guards from the City Lord's Mansion saw Ding Huan coming, they quickly lowered their heads.

It has only been a short period of time, and the city patrol guard who they thought was doomed to die is not only fine, but has also been invited by the city lord.

"My Lord City Lord, Fellow Daoist Ding is here to visit you." The woman in black brought Ding Huan to the residence of City Lord Xue Bu and reported in a respectful tone.

Ding Huan was speechless. He came to visit? He really knew how to flatter himself.

If Xue Bu didn't know that he was not coming, he would definitely not have the courage to go to the Dajing District. He really didn't want to come.

"Haha, please come in, Captain Ding." Xue Bu's voice sounded very hearty and enthusiastic.

Ding Huan didn't wait for the woman in black to open the door for him, he just pushed the door open and walked in.

The anger on Xue Bu's face flashed away, and then he smiled again and said:
"Please sit down. I've been very busy. I just heard that a talented person has emerged among my city patrol officers, so I took the time to ask you to come and sit down with me."

Will this guy die if he doesn’t pretend?

If he had just come here, he might have been fooled by this guy.

Now Ding Huan knew very well that even if he killed Xue Bu in Xifeng City, there would probably not be such serious consequences.

Ding Huan didn't have that much time to play Tai Chi with a hypocritical guy like Xue Bu. He said directly:

"City Lord Xue, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm very busy right now."

Ding Huan had observed it before when he came, and found that there was only a second-level defensive formation outside the entire City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, there is only a level one attack formation and a trap formation.

If it was a level 2 attack array, Ding Huan would still be a little apprehensive. To him, level 1 attack arrays and level 1 trap arrays were no different than having nothing.

Hearing Ding Huan's words that showed no respect at all, Xue Bu's face turned ugly.

As long as Ding Huan maintains a superficial harmony, the two sides will agree on some things.

Ding Huan is not allowed to set foot in Xifeng City, and he doesn't care about other places.

"Captain Ding, I hope you will withdraw the patrol guards in the city center. I will not be responsible for the rest of the places, but this place cannot be moved." Ding Huan was unwilling to beat around the bush with him, so Xue Bu had to say it bluntly.

Xue Bu was not afraid that Ding Huan would attack him here. Deep down in his heart, he did not want to have a bad relationship with Ding Huan.

It would be best to kill Ding Huan. If this trap fails to kill Ding Huan, that would be bad.

His only goal in staying in Xifeng City was to build his foundation. As long as Ding Huan didn't disturb his practice and didn't affect his income, he didn't care about anything else.

Ding Huan clearly controlled the city's taxes and management fees, and even banned the Happy Branch, which had already left him no room for survival.

After saying this, Xue Bu seemed to be worried that Ding Huan might get upset, so he took the initiative to say:
"I heard that you are cracking down on the business of Happy Branches in West Wind City. I can help you with this.

The Joy Branch in West Wind City is mainly run by Wan Qian, an abandoned disciple of Daxing Sword Dao. Wan Qian is not an ordinary person. I can join hands with you to take him down."

Ding Huan remained calm and seemed to be thinking with his eyes closed.

In fact, Ding Huan was using big arithmetic to calculate the results.

Soon Ding Huan opened his eyes and understood what Xue Bu meant.

In Xifeng City, there may be Wan Qian who are doing the joy branch business, but Xue Bu in front of him is definitely one of them.

This guy is very insidious, he wants to kill someone by using another's knife.

Let him deal with Wan Qian. After killing Wan Qian, he will be the only one left to manage the Huanxi Branch.

And the consequences of killing Wan Qian were basically borne by Ding Huan.

Why is this thing so bad?
Just as Ding Huan was preparing to deal with Xue Bu, a guard hurried to the door and reported loudly:
"Lord City Lord, the city patrol confiscated all the houses in the central city without title deeds. They also killed Teng Xiaosheng."

"Why?" Xue Bu's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

He clenched his fists. The negotiations hadn't even been completed yet and Ding Huan was already shitting on his head?
Teng Xiaosheng is his man, and that shop is also his shop.

"They said that Teng Xiaosheng sold happy branches and killed several people, and that the house was also occupied..."

When Xue Bu asked, the guard did not dare to hide it.

"Captain Ding, you're going too far."

Xue Bu suppressed his inner anger and stared at Ding Huan as he spoke word by word.

These guys did a great job. Yan Mei is indeed a capable guy. Fortunately, he was not possessed by the Twin Soul Sect, otherwise it would be a shame.

Ding Huan didn't bother to pay attention to Xue Bu's words and stood up:

"I'll give you two choices. First, stay in the City Lord's Mansion and cultivate your Dao. Second, leave the City Lord's Mansion now. This place is not suitable for you."

"Ding Huan, do you know who I am?" Xue Bu shouted angrily and stood up.

This little captain of the city patrol is really going too far.

"Oh, who are you?" Ding Huan asked in surprise.

Xue Bu was extremely angry. When he thought that Pan Qi and Gu Zhanjian were killed by Ding Huan together, he could only force himself to swallow his anger.

"I am the city lord appointed by the Lord of the Burning Star Territory. I am protected by the Burning Star Territory and recognized and protected by the Great Star Sword Dao.

If you break up with me, you will be against the Great Star Sword Dao and the Burning Star Lordship."

Xue Bu was not sure whether Ding Huan could withstand the first-level killing array, so he did not take action.

"You are really patient. I will give you three seconds to decide. Three..."

Ding Huan just said a number, Xue Bu raised his hand and waved several formation flags, and then the space in front of him changed.

The space suddenly became hazy, and waves of murderous intent swept towards Ding Huan.

In this deep murderous atmosphere, Xue Bu took out his long sword, aimed at Ding Huan's position, burst out his true energy, and chopped down with all his strength.

He wished he could chop Ding Huan into pieces with one blow.

At the same time, Ding Huan grabbed several formation flags and threw them out, then his figure flashed.

"Crack!" Xue Bu's knife split the chair that Ding Huan had just sat on into two halves.

Before Xue Bu could react, the murderous intent in the space changed. Xue Bu was horrified to find that although it was the killing formation he controlled, the murderous intent actually enveloped him at this moment.

Oh no, Ding Huan is also proficient in formations.

Xue Bu reacted immediately and his heart was immediately filled with regret.

The reason why he dared to do this to Ding Huan was because he relied on a killing formation and a trapping formation here.

Using the worst trapping array to deal with a person who is proficient in arrays is simply courting death.

It was somewhat shocking that a Qi Refiner was proficient in formation. He could use the formation flag to activate the killing formation because the killing formation had been set up long ago.

But it was too late for Xue Bu to react, and a wind blade tore through his neck.

"Daxing Sword Dao will not let you go." After Xue Bu said these words, he fell to the ground.

Ding Huan took away the formation flag and the space returned to peace again.

Cang Yiyi walked in and saw Xue Bu being killed by Ding Huan, his face full of disbelief.

She soon came to her senses:

"Friend Ding, I am only working for the mayor."

Ding Huan nodded:
"Don't worry, I know how to do it."

Cang Yiyi quickly stepped back and swore in her heart that if she didn't bring this news to Daxing Sword Dao, she would be in vain. Xue Buke was also a disciple of Daxing Sword Dao.

"Puff!" A wind blade pierced into her neck from behind. Cang Yiyi wanted to turn around and ask Ding Huan why he wanted to kill her, but unfortunately, she couldn't say a word.

Ding Huan pulled away Xue Bu's storage bag and turned away.

I'll let Yan Mei clean this place later.
