Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Novel - Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Fair Competition

The dispute between Sea City and Ping City had come to an end for the time being. Both sides did not lose much. Hai Changping had only lost some treasures, but both sides could accept it.

Losing these things was not important to Hai Changping. At least he still had a lot of room to adjust.

As long as he did not do anything stupid in the future and did not make such a mistake again, his rule here would not be too threatened.

His Sea City was generally considered peaceful. As long as he did not make a huge mistake, he would not be able to overturn the situation.

However, the situation on the other side was very different.

Rong City, which had always been close to Sea City, suddenly encountered an accident after the previous incident.

It was early morning. With a miserable cry, the City Lord’s servant stumbled out of the City Lord’s room.

“The City Lord is dead!”

“The City Lord is dead!”

However, he was not the first to know about this. This was because the head of the original City Lord was hanging high above the city wall. No one who passed by dared to approach it.

…

“Who did this?”

“Isn’t this the City Lord? Why is his head here?”

“Oh my God, what happened?”

“The City Lord is dead. The sky is about to change!”

Rong City was in chaos. They had not been peaceful recently. The entire Rong City was in chaos.

It turned out that the structure of Rong City was very stable. Most of them were demons. However, ever since that incident in Ping City, there were suddenly many humans in Rong City. These humans were very powerful and were doing business here.

The demons in Rong City could not chase them out even if they wanted to.

The two sides were in a stalemate. Originally, neither side liked the other. However, because they were at a disadvantage in the previous confrontation with Ping City, Rong City could only be forced to be more open-minded to the humans.

However, hatred had always been brewing between the demons. They had lived here their entire lives and had never been on equal footing with the humans.

Now, they were being tortured by the humans every day, making them wish they were dead.

Many demons had already joined forces. They thought that their combined strength was definitely enough to deal with the humans. As long as they killed all these people, what could the people of Ping City do?

Therefore, the conflict between the demons and humans had never stopped.

However, most of those were just minor incidents. Today’s matter was really going to overturn the city.

The leader of the demons, the City Lord, had been discovered dead. The body lay quietly in the room, bleeding all over the bed. His head hung on the city wall and became a warning to others.

This demonstration made the demons unable to hold back anymore.

“No, I must kill all these humans and avenge the City Lord!”

“The most important thing now is to investigate who killed the City Lord. We shouldn’t be impulsive and think about fighting the humans.”

“Then what do you think? Do you think there’s anyone else besides the humans? It’s obvious that those humans killed the City Lord!”

In the demon race’s council, the various sects held their own opinions.

Most of them firmly believed that this matter was definitely caused by humans. However, they had no evidence, so they could only fly into a rage.

There were also some people who felt that since things had already come to this, instead of falling out with the humans now, they might as well take this opportunity to let everyone accept the humans.

Both sides were arguing fiercely, and neither could tolerate the other’s words. It could be said that everyone in the demon race was fighting to the death. No one could persuade the other party to achieve their wishes.

The temporary president of the demons also had a headache.

“President, we have to give an explanation as soon as possible. It’s been so long and the City Lord’s corpse has yet to turn cold. If we can’t give an explanation, how can everyone believe you?”

“That’s right. We have to get an explanation for the City Lord. This matter can’t end like this!”

“President, make a decision. Everyone chose you to be the president not to be a coward. They want you to bring everyone to take down the human race, not be afraid!”

The meeting room was filled with a foul atmosphere. All kinds of huge demons were gathered here. They were flapping their wings and dragging their eight legs.

Their argument caused the entire hall to be in chaos. After standing there for a while, their ears were filled with noise and they could not hear anything clearly.

“I say, can you stop arguing?” Suddenly, someone shouted.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was just a little kid without any qualifications. They immediately ignored him.

“In my opinion, these humans deserve to die. We’ll kill them all now. There’s definitely no injustice!”

“That’s right. We should strike while we have the advantage of numbers. If we wait for the humans to gather their own strength, it will be too late for us to attack!”

Just as they were arguing, someone suddenly ran in in a panic. This person pushed open the door and looked at the seniors inside while panting.

“Everyone…” His voice was drowned out in the noisy hall. No one could hear what he said.

“Everyone, stop arguing. The humans are here!”

However, no one heard him. Perhaps his voice was too weak for anyone to hear him clearly.

The young demon looked helplessly at the many seniors arguing inside. He turned around and saw that the human woman had already arrived behind him. This shocked him greatly.

The human alliance led by Ye Qiluo stood at the entrance of the Demon Council and looked at the many demons arguing inside.

At the end of the group was a young man. He was holding a voice transmission device and muttering softly. “Brother Li, do you really want to do this? They have been operating here for so many years. I’m afraid it’s not good for Pavilion Master Ye to suddenly go against them.”

For some reason, Qiu Muyun was pulled to Rong City.

It turned out that after the Sword Immortal of Ping City resolved the trouble, Ye Qiluo suddenly reorganized her people and transferred all the people from the Treasure Pavilion to Rong City. Meanwhile, the Treasure Pavilion in Ping City was constantly digging for new blood.

Among them, Qiu Muyun was brought here with a special identity. He had some achievements in refining weapons and had comprehended sword intent all day long. He had gained something now.

On the second day after the City Lord’s death, Ye Qiluo gathered all the humans in Rong City together. Soon, she decided to strengthen the rights of humans in Rong City. They had already arrived at the entrance of the council to issue a challenge.

Li Yuanqing’s voice sounded from the voice transmission.

“Your Pavilion Master Ye has her own plans. You don’t have to worry. If there’s anything dangerous, she definitely won’t take the lead.”

Li Yuanqing did not know much about Ye Qiluo, but he felt that there were many secrets behind this Pavilion Master Ye.

At the very least, it was not a problem to ensure her safety, so he handed Qiu Muyun to her without worry. However, he did not expect Ye Qiluo to be so ruthless. She directly killed the City Lord of Rong City. This method was not bad.

Although Li Yuanqing said it lightly, Qiu Muyun was still very worried.

“Brother Li, do you think I should apply to the Pavilion Master and transfer back now? I wanted to have a chance to train here. I didn’t expect to fight with someone the moment I arrived. There are so many demons here. It’s not appropriate.”

Rong City was originally the headquarters of the demons. The human race had only gradually prospered recently and did not have any foundation to begin with. But now, she wanted to snatch the territory that the demons had guarded for so many years. Wasn’t this a little too big?

Li Yuanqing yawned, as if he did not care about Qiu Muyun’s worries.

“Alright, just follow your Pavilion Master there. She will definitely not mistreat you. Don’t think too much. It’s fine.”

“But…”

Qiu Muyun wanted to continue speaking when he suddenly heard a violent roar from inside.

It turned out that after the demons inside discovered Qiu Muyun’s existence, they all exploded and rushed out.

“Human scum, it’s courageous of you to tempt fate!”

“Kill these humans and avenge the City Lord!”

“Brothers, follow me and kill all these humans. Don’t leave anyone alive!”

They rushed forward noisily and blocked the entrance. However, there was only one door. They rushed up, but there were too many people and most of them were squeezed out.

For a moment, the demons were in chaos.

The demons had lived a good life for too long and did not have any worries. When they were bullied, only then did they remember to resist their enemy. However, they did not have such ability. They looked clumsy and comical when they did things.

Ye Qiluo only raised her slender hands slightly and effortlessly formed a barrier in front of her. This barrier enveloped the small area in front of her.

The barrier she put up resolved all the attacks of the demons. The demons fell to the ground, their mouths bulging with complaints.

The president of the demons walked out with a livid expression. He kicked a little demon at his feet to the side and looked at Ye Qiluo coldly.

“President Zhu.”

“Pavilion Master Ye.”

After the two sides met, they were ready to fight again.

President Zhu was the first to speak. “This is a critical moment of our demon race’s meeting. Why did Pavilion Master Ye come to cause trouble without saying anything? I wonder what the meaning of this is?”

Ye Qiluo sneered and said directly, “President Zhu, I only came here for one thing. Rong City can’t be without a leader for a day. Now that the City Lord of Rong City is dead, we naturally have to choose a more capable person to protect Rong City.”

When the demons heard Ye Qiluo say this, they were all grinning from ear to ear.

“Human, you’re quite bold. Even if we want to choose a City Lord, that’s our own business. What has it got to do with you humans? You don’t have the right to stand here and talk about choosing a City Lord. Get lost!”

“That’s right, all humans get out!”

President Zhu looked at Ye Qiluo coldly. “Pavilion Master Ye, don’t mind them. Although their words are unpleasant, it’s also what I want. Rong City has always been the world of the demons. Even if we want to choose a City Lord, we’ll choose from the demons. Humans shouldn’t get involved in this matter.”

“This is new. The rules say that anyone can be the City Lord. Why is it that only the demons can be the City Lord?”

President Zhu’s face was ashen.

Back then, City Lord Huang Yaoshan had given these humans equal rights under Hu Jiujiu’s pressure, but that was just words. However, these humans were actually using it as a token to fight for power for themselves.

The rules were there after all. If they resisted rashly, it would seem very inappropriate and give the other party too much leverage.

President Zhu’s expression changed. Although he wanted to go back on his word, he was helpless.

“President, we can’t let them succeed. This is their human scheme. You can’t be fooled by them!”

“That’s right. These humans are best at playing tricks. They can do anything. The rules of the past are no longer useful!”

Ye Qiluo looked at President Zhu indifferently and asked, “So, their words are your idea, President?”

President Zhu’s expression changed. He knew that if he rejected the agreements signed by the human race in the past, it would be equivalent to a complete break with Sea City.

No one in Sea City would be willing to support them if anything happened to them.

However, the human race is powerful now. If they lost their only external help, it was really uncertain if they could protect Rong City.

“What do you want?”

President Zhu’s words caused an uproar.

All the demons thought that President Zhu would decisively reject them, but they did not expect him to lower his head to them. Now, he even has such a low attitude. It was really difficult to understand.

Ye Qiluo smiled imperceptibly and looked at President Zhu. “Since Rong City needs a City Lord who can truly control the situation, I think we should follow the traditional style and have a fair election.”

“What kind of election?”

“Of course it’s a life and death battle in the arena. Those who can become the City Lord must be powerful beings that can subdue everyone.” President Zhu said casually.

Ye Qiluo really did not know what was good for her. Compared to the demons, humans were weaker. They were agile and had a strong pulling ability. Therefore, if it was any other way, humans might be better.

However, in the arena, it was the demon race’s world.
