Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

The second measure was to take care of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, annex all other mercenary groups, and eventually incorporate them into the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Boyuan, who now serves under him, is a member of the Xiao family, so he knows that the two leaders of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group are his master's cousins.

Upon arriving in Shimo City, he intended to make sweeping changes, but instead encountered suppression from Qian Yishan.

In terms of strength, Qian Yishan had just broken through to the Dou Ling realm, making him a level above him.

In terms of power, the three major families of Mocheng and the Mo family of Yancheng are all secretly supporting Qian Yishan.

In terms of status, Qian Yishan is the deputy city lord, which is one rank higher than him, the captain who is directly under the city lord in charge of military affairs. However, he also has the authority of a city lord to issue orders.

Taking all factors into account, he decided not to confront Qian Yishan head-on, but instead to secretly gather intelligence and recruit and place his own people, while outwardly supporting the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

Until half a month ago, Qian Yishan used the pretext of military relocation to send him to patrol the army in the southwest region. He secretly contacted the Sand Mercenary Group and began to suppress the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

Isn't this going too far?!

"Tear off the mask?"

Qian Yishan slowly raised his hand, his fighting spirit gathering into a large sword, and said coldly, "Qin Hai, if you commit insubordination, even if I capture you now, the city lord will not be able to hold you accountable."

Qin Hai summoned his battle qi armor and took out a long spear from his storage ring, showing no intention of backing down.

The two sides were on the verge of war, each wanting the other to make the first move.

Just then, a powerful aura appeared above the city lord's mansion, making Qin Hai and Qian Yishan feel as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.

At the same time, a voice resounded over Stone Desert City: "I am Zhang Yuan, the city lord of Stone Desert City."

"Within a quarter of an hour, all the captains, lieutenants, and commanders of the Shimo Army and the Black Armor Guards reported to the city lord's mansion."

"Anyone who is late or absent will be dealt with according to the rules of the military, stripped of their military status, and stripped of their military merits."

Upon hearing this, officers in all the military camps, no matter what they were doing, immediately began to put on their armor and rushed to the city lord's mansion in Shimo City, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

They are all soldiers stationed on the border, and they are frequently exposed to the baptism of war. They have a high level of discipline and a strong sense of military regulations, and they are not the kind of people who would shirk their duties or try to cheat.

There should be few people in the vast Gama Empire who haven't heard of the name Zhang Yuan.

Nearly a year ago, at less than seventeen years old, he became a peak Grand Battle Master, the teacher of Princess Yao Ye of the Empire, and defeated the Nine-Star Battle Spirit of the Black Armor Guard in a head-on battle, thus obtaining the position of City Lord of Stone Desert City and military power.

He never went to Stone Desert City to take up his post, and many people speculated that he was looking for a place to break through to the Dou Ling level, so that he could become the Dou Ling and the city lord of Stone Desert City at the age of less than eighteen.

Now that he has finally appeared, he must have broken through to the Dou Ling level.

A peak Grand Battle Master can defeat a peak Battle Spirit, so what about now?

Zhang Yuan possessed everything: strength, talent, status, and position. No one dared to disobey him, regardless of their inner thoughts.

Most importantly, the aura being released in mid-air at this moment.

Vast as smoke, profound as a wish, powerful as thunder, far surpassing that peak-level Battle King City Lord of Yancheng.

With such a powerful warning, who would dare to court death and disobey?

"The city lord has arrived!"

Qin Hai revealed a look of surprise and immediately put away his spear, then snorted coldly at Qian Yishan and said, "I will report everything you have done in the past six months. I hope your excuse will work."

After saying that, he immediately walked outside.

"They've finally arrived." Qian Yishan's gaze was very solemn.

When he first learned of Zhang Yuan's talent, he was wary, but a genius who hadn't yet matured wasn't much of a threat.

Compared to the three major families of Mocheng, the Mo family of Yancheng, and even the behemoth that is Yunlan Sect, Zhang Yuan is nothing.

As the deputy city lord of Shimo City, he knew that Zhang Yuan was once a member of the Zhang family of Shimo City, but the entire Zhang family was nothing more than stray dogs back then, so he could easily make a choice.

But now, that powerful aura made him shout, and he felt that some great terror was about to befall him.

"Let's go see him first. The worst-case scenario is that he loses his position as deputy city lord, the entire Stone Desert City is handed over, and I go to Desert City to become a commander."

Qian Yishan took a deep breath and followed Qin Hai out of the City Lord's Mansion council hall. He looked up and saw the huge figure in the sky.

"That's... the Amethyst Winged Lion King!!!"

Qian Yishan had heard of one of the most renowned overlords in the Warcraft Mountains and had seen some pictures of him.

He never expected to see such a creature in Stone Desert City, a small desert town on the border of an eastern province, and judging from its wings, it seemed to be a sixth-tier magical beast.

That's comparable to a Dou Huang level expert!?

The strongest among the Yunlan Sect and the royal family is only a Dou Huang.

This sixth-tier magical beast was Zhang Yuan's mount.

"Sigh~"

A strong sense of foreboding rose in Qian Yishan's heart.

To be able to ride a sixth-tier magical beast means you have sixth-tier strength.

A genius who hasn't fully matured is only someone to be wary of, but what about a genius who "has" the strength of a Dou Huang?

The Mo family of Yancheng, the three great families of Mocheng—all combined—were utterly powerless against the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

It's nothing

"Your subordinate, Qian Yishan, is the temporary deputy city lord of Shimo City. I greet you, City Lord."

Qian Yishan walked to the door, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands in greeting to Zhang Yuan.

Logically speaking, his status did not require him to perform such a grand ceremony to Zhang Yuan.

Faced with the strength displayed by Zhang Yuan, he had no choice but to be humble.

But Zhang Yuan didn't even bother to glance at him; he simply stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the officers and city lord's staff in the city had gathered, all kneeling on one knee and clasping their hands in front of the sky, looking at Zhang Yuan with awe.

Stepping on a sixth-tier magical beast comparable to a Dou Huang powerhouse—what kind of strength and style does that require?

"Qin Hai, why didn't you do the things I asked you to do well?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"I am guilty and willing to accept punishment." Qin Hai did not explain, but instead bowed his head and admitted his guilt.

In any case, he certainly did not do what Zhang Yuan had instructed him to do.

Even the task of helping the Mo Tie Mercenary Group was almost not done well.

“If someone is guilty, they should be punished, but why should we explain why they committed the crime?” Zhang Yuan said calmly.

"Yes." Qin Hai immediately looked up and explained the situation.

In short, Qian Yishan was unwilling to cooperate and refused to comply.

"Vice City Lord Qian, has Qin Hai wronged you?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Qian Yishan for the first time.

"Lord City Lord, I can explain."

Qian Yishan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately prepared to make up an excuse.

He had considered the situation with Zhang Yuan and had already prepared an excuse.

At least on the surface, there seems to be no problem.

"I'll only ask you this: Did Qin Hai wrong you?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

"No," Qian Yishan immediately shook his head, "but I'm only thinking of Shimo City. It's directly facing the Snake-People here; if we act rashly..."

"It's good that I haven't wronged you!" Zhang Yuan interrupted Qian Yishan's words directly and said calmly, "It's a fact that you disobeyed military orders, and it's also a fact that you didn't carry out government affairs according to my city lord's orders."

"It is a fact that you, as the deputy city lord, have interfered in the struggles between civilian forces."

"The three crimes combined constitute a capital offense."

As his response fell, the Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately opened its mouth and spewed out a pillar of purple fire.

"No!"

Qian Yishan did not expect Zhang Yuan to act so decisively against him, and even to kill him.

He immediately tried to escape, but the sudden attack from a high-level "Battle Emperor" was clearly beyond what a low-level Battle Spirit like him could handle.

"Wow!"

A purple flame streaked across the sky, and Qian Yishan had no time to react before he was reduced to dust.

quiet!

The entire venue was completely silent.

No one expected Zhang Yuan to act so decisively.

What is this? A dictatorship or tyrant?

But looking at the amethyst winged lion king at his feet, no one dared to speak.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan looked in a certain direction and said calmly, "Yunfeng, now that you're here, why don't you come to see me?"

Chapter 115 The Royal Family's Supreme Guest! The Medusa in Reality

hiss.

Everyone present was shocked.

They were familiar with the name Yunfeng; it was the name of the city lord of Mocheng, a nine-star Dou Wang, and a disciple of the Yunlan Sect.

Although Stone Desert City is an independent city, as a satellite city of Desert City, it can also be considered an affiliated city, nominally under the administration of Desert City.

In other words, Yunfeng was Zhang Yuan's direct superior.

But now, he's asking Yunfeng to come out and see him.

How arrogant!

"Shh!"

The clouds in the sky parted at this moment, and a refined middle-aged man with illusory wings on his back slowly descended, looking at Zhang Yuan with a solemn gaze.

He knew quite a bit about the soon-to-be-appointed city lord of Shimo City, especially since his junior sister Yun Yun had once written to him, urging him to be on good terms with the man, simply because the man had a peak Dou Huang.

However, he received another letter from the Grand Elder Yun Ling, asking him to assist the Mo family and the three major families of Mo City in gaining more power, and ideally, to capture Zhang Yuan and persuade him to join the Yunlan Sect.
