Chapter 375 - 375 375

Chapter 375: 375 Chapter 375: 375 On that evening, Dong Family and Zhou Family of Donglin City were leveled to the ground.

Several days later!

Jing Chengye came to the Splendid Pill Tower in the South District Market to see Jing Yan.

“In just ten days, our Jing Family has gained seven new Innate realm Martial Artists,” Jing Chengye jubilantly told Jing Yan the good news.

“Let’s wait and see,” Jing Yan said mysteriously.

A month later!

Jing Chengye once again visited the Splendid Pill Tower to see Jing Yan.

“Jing Yan, guess how many Innate realm Martial Artists the Jing Family has produced this month?” Jing Chengye’s mouth seemed to split from ear to ear, hardly containing his joy.

“You might as well tell me,” Jing Yan said with a light chuckle.

“Ha-ha, a full twenty-six Innate!

A full twenty-six new Innate!

That’s just in one month, and there are still many who have obtained the Holy Spirit Potion, but haven’t used it due to insufficient accumulation.

If we wait half a year, tsk, tsk…” Jing Chengye shook his head, hardly looking like the Clan Leader of Donglin City’s largest family.

Of course, there was no need for him to put on airs in front of Jing Yan.

“Uh-huh!” Jing Yan nodded.

“With these Innate realm warriors, our Jing Family’s position in Donglin City will be as solid as a rock,” Jing Yan smiled as he spoke.

“More than solid as a rock.

I imagine even the Great Families in some of the big cities only have a few dozen Innate Martial Artists, right?

The previous Zhao Family had only a meager twenty Innate warriors.

And now our Jing Family has a full forty.

In six months, that number will at least reach sixty.”

“And now our Jing Family controls three workshops, and we occupy half of the ore veins within the territory of Donglin City.

With these resources to support us, tsk, tsk…” Jing Chengye couldn’t help but excitedly contemplate the future.

“Clan Leader, I plan to return to Lanqu County City in a couple of days, so I won’t bid you farewell then,” Jing Yan said.

“You’re leaving so soon?

That’s too fast, isn’t it?” Jing Chengye’s brows furrowed slightly.

“It’s time to go back; there are many things I need to handle.

The successor of the Donglin City Lord should be determined by now,” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

“That’s fine,” Jing Chengye didn’t say much more.

There was no need for him to interfere in Jing Yan’s matters.

The next day brought Jing Yan another piece of happy news.

Uncle Chenxing had advanced to the Innate realm.

Although he had lost a leg, which could greatly impact his combat ability, an Innate is still an Innate, and for those under the Innate realm, it would be very hard to trouble Jing Chenxing.

When the Elixir that could regenerate a Martial Artist’s severed limb was obtained in the future, it could help Uncle Chenxing recover completely.

That night, Jing Yan left Donglin City and sped towards Lanqu County City.

The matters of Donglin City were temporarily concluded.

But Jing Yan had much more to do.

The Dark Night Organization and the Wen Family had suffered such a loss, and they would not let it go so easily.

Similarly, Jing Yan would not let these two forces off the hook either.

The next step was to eliminate the Wen Family and the Dark Night Organization.

However, Jing Yan’s current strength was still far from sufficient; what he urgently needed to do was to become a Dao Spirit realm powerhouse.

Over ten days later, Jing Yan returned to Donglin City and first went to the Manager’s Mansion to see Mu Liantian.

“Young friend Jing Yan, where have you been during this time?” Mu Liantian stared at Jing Yan.

He must have heard about the incidents in Donglin City.

Although Lanqu County City was far from Donglin City, the Prince Manor would definitely be aware of major events occurring there.

And as the Chief Manager, he would definitely be able to get news.

Thus, Mu Liantian’s question was clearly intentional; he probably guessed that Jing Yan was behind Donglin City’s events.

“Heh heh…” Jing Yan chuckled dryly.

“You little rascal!” Mu Liantian shook his head, “This time, things might have gotten a bit out of hand.

The Wen Family is now jumping up and down quite fiercely.”

“What actions has the Wen Family taken?” Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened.

“Too many to count.

Before, although the Wen Family was interested in the succession of the Donglin City Lord, they were just interested.

But now, it seems that they are desperate to control Donglin City.

They have spent a vast amount of wealth recently to gain the support of several other families for the Wen Family,” Mu Liantian said gravely.

“Has the successor been decided?” Jing Yan’s expression changed slightly.

“It’s more or less decided.

The candidate is from the Wen Family!

A Dao Spirit realm warrior who is one of the Wen Family Elders,” Mu Liantian said, “Now, it’s just waiting for the Prince to nod and issue the appointment order.

But it’s just a matter of a few days.

Faced with the opinions of several Great Families, the Prince can’t ignore their stance too much.

And to the Prince, one Donglin City isn’t of much concern.”

“A Wen Family Dao Spirit realm warrior to become the City Lord of Donglin City?” Jing Yan’s eyelids twitched.

This was definitely a major issue.

Although the Jing Family almost controlled Donglin City now, there were still no Dao Spirit realm powerhouses within the Jing Family.

If the Wen Family Elder went to Donglin City, what could the Jing Family use to contend with him?

You should know, the City Lord isn’t alone; the Armored Guard of the City Lord Mansion would definitely be taken over by the new City Lord.

When that time comes, if the City Lord Mansion targeted the Jing Family everywhere, then the currently united front of Donglin City might be broken.

“Lord Chief, is there really no way to turn this situation around?” Jing Yan asked with a heavy heart.

“It’s very difficult!” Mu Liantian shook his head, “Even I can’t change this matter.

Unless City Lord Huo Chunyang, who has disappeared, now returns to Donglin City.

If the actual Donglin City Lord is still around, then naturally there’s no need to appoint a new City Lord.”

Hearing this, Jing Yan’s heart also cooled.

The life or death of City Lord Huo Chunyang was still unknown.

Even if Huo Chunyang wasn’t dead, the likelihood of him returning to Donglin City in such a short time was almost zero.

It had been over three months since Huo Chunyang had last been seen.

“No, this absolutely won’t do!

A person from the Wen Family cannot become the City Lord of Donglin City,” Jing Yan shook his head repeatedly.

“Jing Yan, we’ll talk later.

Right now, I need to visit Prince Manor for an important matter,” Mu Liantian said.

Mu Liantian was already planning to leave the Manager’s Mansion for Prince Manor before Jing Yan arrived.

It was only because Jing Yan happened to come over that he stayed briefly to chat with Jing Yan.

“Lord Chief, I would also like to see the Prince,” Jing Yan said, frowning.

If it weren’t urgent, he definitely wouldn’t casually ask to see the Prince.

But now, there really was no other way.

“You want to see the Prince?” Mu Liantian frowned slightly, “Well, you can come with me, maybe you can help with this matter.

If you do manage to help, then asking for one or two conditions, the Prince will surely agree.”
