Chapter 675 - 675 661 Shi Mu Becomes The City Lord

Chapter 675: Chapter 661: Shi Mu Becomes The City Lord Chapter 675: Chapter 661: Shi Mu Becomes The City Lord Upon hearing this, Shi Mu, filled with anger, bellowed, “Rebellion! What does Jue Ming think he’s doing? Collaborating with the Third Demon to assassinate the city leader, does he really think that by killing the leader, he can become one himself?” He had already drawn his sword, ready to rush in to save the city leader.

Li Yue was extremely anxious. He was more concerned about Yang Jing’s safety at this moment and said, “Second Master, we shouldn’t wait any longer. We need to rush in and save the city leader now.”

“You’re right, hurry, help Li Yue! We fight together, save the city leader,” Shi Mu stated.

With Li Yue taking the lead and the support of Shi Mu, they quickly broke into Lily Garden.

Once Shi Mu spotted Jue Ming, he bellowed, “Jue Ming, what are you up to, you old freak!”

“Sissy,” he thought as he became furious. That man had manipulated others to commit murder and had known everything yet continued playing such games. Infuriated, he yelled, “You damned bastard, you’re the cause of all this! I’ll kill you today.” If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t be patrolling the city.

Suddenly, he and Shi Mu clashed into a fight.

Only then did Li Yue discovered that Yang Jing had been killed. He was left speechless as they heard the news that the city leader had succumbed. Moreover, the perpetrators were Jue Ming and the men of the Third Demon.

Shi Mu and Li Yue joined forces, secretly aided by Can Mo. The men of Jue Ming and Ming Bei had long been marked by Can Mo’s men. Even Luo Hai was under surveillance.

Li Yue advanced towards Jue Ming, who increasingly felt his strength waning. He was just a patrol leader with few men at his disposal, their collective power was evidently insufficient.

Most of Jue Ming’s men were robbed and killed.

Ming Bei gradually regained his composure.

Observing the worsening situation, Luo Hai remarked, “We need to leave; if we don’t, we’ll die here.” Unquestionably, all their resentment was directed at them. If they didn’t flee immediately, it would be too late.

Ming Bei nodded in agreement. As long as Jue Ming was holding Li Yue and Shi Mu at bay, he still had a chance. He even learned a way to escape Ghost City through Jue Ming’s manipulation. When they lost their momentum and their opponents captured their accomplice, their plans were bound to fail.

“Let’s go, they have united,” said Luo Hai.

“Yes, let’s go. We must”, Ming Bei decided to abandon Jue Ming, and realized they must leave someone behind as a distraction.

Jue Ming was unwilling to give in. He desired to be the city leader, but had fallen for the cunning trap of the sissy. A previously unimposing subordinate took advantage of him, accomplished the killing of Yang Jing, and even aspired to be city leader. How could he accept this?

Ming Bei and Luo Hai, along with a few men, hastily escaped from Ghost City.

Jue Ming was surrounded and was killed in less than an hour.

The men that ran over reported, “Ming Bei has fled.”

“Who was guarding the city gates? How could they let Ming Bei escape?” Shi Mu thundered.

A subordinate said, “It was Jue Ming’s men who were guarding. They left a way to retreat and Ming Bei has already taken some people to escape.”

“Damn it, I want to avenge our city leader Yang. I swear not to coexist in peace with the Third Demon!” Shi Mu howled in rage.

Sudden silence fell. Yang Jing’s body lay as if he were merely dozing off.

Li Yue and many others wailed in heart-wrenching sobs.

At this moment, someone said, “Our city leader Yang is gone. Ghost City cannot be left without a leader for a day, and the No. One Heroes cannot be without a head.”

Zhong Yao then suggested, “I propose Shi Mu becomes our new city leader.”

“Right, currently, no one here ranks higher than Shi Mu.”

After politely refusing for a while, Shi Mu said, “I’m undeserving of such honor, we should choose someone more capable.”

“Don’t be modest now; currently, the No. One Heroes needs a leader. We must have a leader. When the city leader was around, you were our second in command, so it is only natural that you become our city leader. We are willing to follow your lead,” one of the disciples behind said.

“In order to avenge ourselves, we must have someone leading us; otherwise, we will fall apart,” Zhong Yao stated.

Li Yue also stood up, looked around, and everyone was supporting Shi Mu. He could only say, “I also agree with Shi Mu becoming our city leader.”

Ye Chen watched this from a city tower for a while. Once everything was settled, he nudged Yun’er, saying “I’m hungry, let’s go eat.”

Yun’er asked, “Don’t you want to see Chun’er inside?”

“Chun’er?” Ye Chen asked in confusion, “Is that girl inside named Chun’er?”

“Yes, Chun’er. Always making your day spring-like,” Yun’er replied.

“Indeed, a name that leads one to endless reverie. I should meet her,” Ye Chen teased.

Yun’er followed jumping and hopping after him.

“Is your stomach better now?” Ye Chen pinched his nose as if he smelled a foul odor.

“You are so annoying.”

“You, what can I entrust to you in the future?”

“Everyone has urgent moments; no one can control it,” Yun’er replied.

“You really pick your times, I was burning down the library! If it weren’t for the fact that those people were all focused on Yang Jing, and if I weren’t skilled in martial arts, I probably would have died inside!”

“You won’t die so easily,” Yun’er assured.

“Chun’er, such a good name, I must have Shi Mu keep it for me, to be taken back to Tianle City and cherished for half a month,”

A menacing kick came flying.

“What’s wrong? Now it seems like I can’t do as I please with you.—I mean, can’t I at least have someone you’d actually want to be with me!?” Ye Chen deliberately said this.

The bustling street was crowded with people coming and going. It seemed that the massacre at Lily Garden hadn’t made the slightest impact. Order was restored in less than two hours—much quicker than expected—it seemed like nothing had happened at all.

Eating and selling went on as usual.

“It seems Hong Ying is also without a husband now,” Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Yun’er’s eyes glared fiercely.

“Well, she doesn’t have a husband anymore.”

“Then send her over to you too.”

Ye Chen laughed, continuing forward. He had already entered an inn.

“Roast chicken, sweet and sour carp…” Yun’er ordered a lot of dishes.

“Wow, didn’t you just have a stomachache? You sure can eat.”

“I’m hungry now, I’ve emptied my stomach, so I want to eat more.”

“Sure, as long as you don’t get another stomachache.”

The street really seemed as if nothing had happened.

They sat in a spot near the window, which had quieted down by then.

“With Yang Jing dead and Shi Mu becoming the Sect Leader, can’t we now fully collaborate with the No. One Heroes to deal with the Third Demon?”

Ye Chen said, “There’s no rush.”

“Oh, now you’re the one who’s not in a hurry.”

That same evening, Gui Lang led Er Gui and San Gui, taking advantage of Wan Guangcai’s lack of experience and precautions, they took control of Bishui City overnight.

Wan Guangcai and his team never expected Gui Lang would take Bishui City.

Under Gui Lang’s intense offensive, they had no preparation and by the next morning, they gave up Bishui City. Taking some people with them, they fled from Bishui City.

San Gui was thrilled, saying, “I told you that the idiot Wan Guangcai couldn’t hold onto Bishui City. You see, it was as easy as catching something handed to you.”

However, Gui Lang said, “You cannot say that, they never dreamed that we would attack them.”

While celebrating, a subordinate rushed in, hurriedly reporting the events that had occurred in Ghost City the previous evening.

Gui Lang was taken aback.

Haozi asked, “So you’re saying, Yang Jing was murdered by Jue Ming, Li Yue and his group killed Jue Ming, and that sissy Shi Mu has now become the city lord of Ghost City?”

The subordinate nodded his head continuously.

“What’s going on? A sissy actually becomes the city lord, it’s a big joke.” Haozi almost couldn’t believe it.

Gui Lang asked, “You’re saying Jue Ming and Ming Bei conspired together to kill Yang Jing and were found out?”

“They weren’t found out, their plan only succeeded halfway. When they were about to take control of Ghost City, they were surrounded.”

“Who surrounded them?”

“It should be Shi Mu’s people.”

Hearing this, Gui Lang coldly said, “That damn Ming Bei is not so stupid, he’s quite a wise man, set up such a decent plan, how it could only succeed halfway?”

Er Gui said, “Could the plan have been exposed a long time ago?”

Hearing that, San Gui sneered, “If it had been exposed long ago, Yang Jing wouldn’t have gone to Lily Garden to send himself to death.”

Gui Lang analysed, “The only logical explanation is, his plan was known to Shi Mu’s people. Shi Mu doesn’t like Yang Jing either. If Yang Jing dies, wouldn’t he become the new city lord and the leader of the No. One Heroes?”

Haozi said, “This sissy, he’s so damn lucky, has such good fortune. Every good thing seems to happen to him.”

San Gui shook his head, “Yang Jing deserved to die. Now it’s all right, we can just leave the No. One Heroes, and see what that sissy Shi Mu can do to us.”

“Now that Yang Jing is dead, it’s a perfect time to divide up the territories. We don’t have anything else to say. We don’t need to be afraid of them either,” Haozi mentioned.

Gui Lang remained silent for a moment, having never imagined so many things could happen overnight. The damn Shi Mu was actually the leader of the No. One Heroes now, which he found really hard to believe.

San Gui said, “What will happen next is uncertain, but it seems our chance has finally arrived. It has truly come.”

Gui Lang was also contemplating something, mulling over some matters.

The next morning, Shi Mu also learned about the incident in Bishui City.
