Chapter 901: Follow the Leader
The Golden Rainbow Bridge landed in front of the city lord’s mansion.
Accompanied by Bao Yingjun, Ju Gongyuan and Dai Xihong stepped into the hall and were shocked to find that the person sitting on the city lord's throne was not Feng Ziluo, but a gentle and elegant man in blue.
A hint of Taoist charm emanated from behind the man in green, and the vision of Gengjin Avenue appeared in the void behind him.
Rivers of swords and knives filled the sky and earth, fighting against each other. Geng Jin's murderous intent was so exciting that people would be terrified at a glance. It was as if any river of swords or knives could break through the void and kill countless strong men.
Sitting side by side with the man in blue were Jian Bailou and Lai Yinuan, who had just fought against Tian Junyi.
The Lord of Golden Sword City, Feng Ziluo, and Zheng Xinghan, sat on the left and right of the throne.
Ju Gongyuan and Dai Xihong were both Taoists with extraordinary vision.
As soon as they entered the hall and their eyes met Qin Ziling, who sat high on the throne of the city lord, they could not help but feel awe in their hearts. Without even thinking, they bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Immortal!"
"No need to be so polite, my two fellow Taoists. Please take a seat." Qin Ziling nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Immortal, for the seats!" Ju Gongyuan and Dai Xihong bowed again before taking their seats.
When they sat down, both of them felt as if there were raging storms in their hearts.
Tian Junyi is a powerful figure who has one foot in the ranks of upper-grade Taoist immortals. The fact that Jian Bailou and Lai Yinuan were able to join forces to stop him was enough to allow Jinjian City to stand proudly in the southern border of Kundong Domain. Apart from the ancient Qi Kingdom, there are only a handful of countries in the southern border that can rival Jinjian City.
This was also the main reason why Ju Gongyuan resolutely went to battle and Dai Xihong resolutely changed sides in the battle.
Otherwise, no one in Jinjian City would be able to resist Tian Junyi. If they made that choice, they would be putting their family in ruins.
It is precisely because Jian Bailou and Lai Yinuan can resist Tian Junyi that they dare to give it a try.
However, they never expected that Jian Bailou and Lai Yinuan were not the most powerful people in charge of Jinjian City, and there was someone else behind the scenes of Jinjian City.
Not only that, the person behind the scenes gave them the impression that he was even more powerful than Immortal Monarch Yuan Sui. How could they not be shocked? And how could they not be respectful?
"Disciple thanks Master for his cultivation!" After the two of them sat down, Ju Gongyan stepped forward to thank Qin Ziling.
Then he thanked Jian Bailou, Lai Yinuan, and Feng Ziluo.
After Wujimen was founded, his fellow disciples regarded Qin Ziling as the eldest senior brother, but Qin Ziling was modest and still addressed Feng Ziluo and others by their previous titles.
Before Ju Gongyan came in, he had been instructed by Qin Ziling not to reveal the name of Wuji Sect for the time being, so he did not call the head teacher "Uncle", but "Uncle Grandmaster".
"You are very good and have the potential to achieve great things in the future!" Qin Ziling nodded to Ju Gongyan and said.
"I will definitely live up to the great expectations of my master!" Ju Gongyan said hurriedly.
Qin Ziling nodded, and a special container flew towards Ju Gongyan, saying: "This was originally given to you. Since you didn't use it when you were overcoming the tribulation, it still belongs to you."
"Thank you, Master, for your generous gift!" Ju Gongyan was shocked to see that Qin Ziling had given him the Taoist Immortal Thunder Tribulation Liquid again. He quickly knelt down, respectfully took the container with both hands, and put it away carefully.
Ju Gongyuan and Dai Xihong were secretly curious and surprised when they saw this. They wondered what was in the container that made Ju Gongyan treasure it so much.
"Although your Taoist treasure has broken through to the upper grade of the Yellow Rank because you were promoted to a Taoist Immortal, it is still not worthy of your current cultivation and status. Give it to me, and I will help you refine it again for a period of time. It will be considered a gift from your uncle-master." Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Thank you, Master!" Ju Gongyan hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude, then presented the Tiger-headed Sword Taoism treasure with both hands.
The tiger-head knife broke through the air and fell into the shadow of the knife river behind Qin Ziling, then sank into it and disappeared.
Ju Gongyuan and Dai Xihong were so terrified that they dared not even breathe.
If someone dares to say that he can help others refine and enlighten Taoist treasures, how can he be an ordinary high-quality Taoist?
Besides, Ju Gongyan’s Taoist treasure is already at the upper level of the Yellow Grade, and the next level up would be the Black Grade!
Xuan level is already the most precious treasure for many Taoist forces!
After Ju Gongyan left, Qin Ziling's gaze fell on Ju Gongyuan and Dai Xihong again.
“Ju Gongyan is now a disciple of my fellow junior brother, and Fellow Daoist Ju just took action resolutely. The Ju family and my Golden Sword City are naturally allies.
If the ancient Qi State sends troops to attack the Ju family, or if the Ju family is attacked for no reason, our Golden Sword City will not sit idly by." Qin Ziling said.
Upon hearing this, Ju Gongyuan immediately stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Immortal. From now on, my Ju family will follow the lead of Jinjian City and advance and retreat together."
"From now on, my Dai family will follow the lead of Jinjian City!" Upon seeing this, Dai Xihong quickly stood up and expressed his position.
The Dai family and the Ju family are different.
Dai Xihong was really worried that if he expressed his stance too late, he would not be able to cling to this powerful supporter.
"Since the two family heads praise our Golden Sword City, as long as your two families act uprightly and do not bully or kill without reason, our Golden Sword City will protect you. Even if Tian Junyi goes to the Immortal Lord's Mansion to get reinforcements, it will be in vain." Qin Ziling nodded.
The Ju family has a relationship with Ju Gongyan, and Ju Gongyuan is also quite capable, so Qin Ziling naturally trusts the Ju family.
As for the Dai family, Dai Xihong's participation in the killing of Tian Dingwu was already a token of his loyalty, so Qin Ziling was not afraid that he would turn against them.
Now that both of them have expressed their willingness to follow the lead of Golden Sword City, Qin Ziling is naturally happy to accept these two peripheral forces.
"Thank you, Immortal!" Dai Xihong was overjoyed, and his heart finally settled down.
Times have changed. There is such a powerful person behind the Golden Sword City, and he has also made a promise. What is there for Dai Xihong to worry about?
"Thank you, Immortal!" Ju Gongyuan also hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.
"You all contributed a lot in this battle, so you deserve some of the spoils this time. But Patriarch Dai changed sides after the battle, so his contribution is greatly discounted and cannot be compared with Patriarch Ju's," said Qin Ziling.
After saying that, two storage rings flew towards the two of them.
The two men obviously didn't expect that Qin Ziling would actually distribute the spoils to them. They were slightly stunned, and then quickly bowed to thank him and took the storage ring with both hands.
After taking the storage ring, the two of them scanned it with their spiritual consciousness and were shocked. The way they looked at Qin Ziling suddenly changed.
Dai Xihong's look was particularly complicated.
There is no harm without comparison.
As the Weiwei of the ancient Qi State, Dai Xihong made great contributions to the Tian family, but Tian Junyi gave him very little reward.
For the Tian family, the Dai family has already received the due reward for their services, which is the protection given by the Tian family.
On the other hand, Dai Xihong of Jinjian City believed that he had changed sides at the critical moment and that Jinjian City could keep its promise. Once the Tian family and the Luo family came to attack the Dai family, it would be a great blessing for Jinjian City to send troops.
Unexpectedly, he was able to participate in the distribution of the spoils, and the amount was quite considerable!
How could Dai Xihong not feel complicated?
