Chapter 1195 - 255: Killing Chickens to Warn Monkeys, Iron-Blooded Female City Lord
"In that case, I will humbly accept the order. All soldiers, listen to the command: Chairman Jin, along with some bandits, attempted to assassinate the Acting City Lord and caused chaos in the city. The City Lord orders, kill without mercy." Ye Lingyue said sternly and shouted loudly.
From behind, the seemingly inconspicuous shop suddenly surged with over a hundred people.
Moreover, as Ye Lingyue issued the command, countless archers suddenly emerged from the shops and buildings surrounding Chairman Jin.
These archers all carried Slaughter God Bow and Arrow made from Heavenly Gang Bamboo, densely packed, numbering in the thousands.
If examined closely, Chairman Jin and his men would quickly find that these so-called warriors were all well-trained and clearly disciplined troops.
In just a short moment, Chairman Jin and his henchmen were surrounded completely.
"How, how could it be? How could you recruit so many people in such a short time?"
Chairman Jin’s knees went weak in fear.
He had assumed that Ye Lingyue wouldn’t be able to recruit soldiers quickly, which is why he took advantage of the situation.
Chairman Jin couldn’t have guessed that although Ye Lingyue seemed alone, she had hidden resources.
Not to mention, hidden within the Heaven and Earth Array were a startling number of Earth Evil Soldiers, and these warriors who looked just like humans were trained Three-legged Birdman Warriors from her Hong Meng Heaven, numbering two to three thousand.
Trying to use sheer numbers against Ye Lingyue, what a joke. She had no shortage of people... no, demons.
"No, these aren’t humans! Ye Lingyue, you dare collude with the Demon Clan, aren’t you afraid that the Jiu Provinces Alliance will trouble you?"
Chairman Jin took another look and saw that the warriors all had wings.
"Ha~ I’m afraid, terrified even. But first, someone would have to leak the information. Leave Chairman Jin alive, kill all others!"
Ye Lingyue’s eyes sharp, she brought forth the Yi God’s Void-breaking Bow, shot an arrow, and it hit Chairman Jin’s head.
Chairman Jin was so scared that his legs went weak, he sat directly on the ground, a stench emitting from his pants, he had lost control and soiled himself.
The Slaughter God Arrows made from Heavenly Gang Bamboo possessed exceptional power, breaking the Protective Elemental Power of the Demon Hunters, hitting with precision.
Numerous arrows zipped past him, and one after another Demon Hunter fell to the ground.
Within an hour, all the Demon Hunters were killed; Ye Lingyue didn’t leave a single one alive.
As for Chairman Jin, he was thrown into a women’s prison, where it was said ten ugly female prisoners were held.
The next day, Chairman Jin was found stripped, having bitten his tongue in despair, dying in the cell.
The Acting City Lord declared that she was not responsible for the death.
The news spread, establishing the image of the new city lord as ruthless and tough.
Even the Jin Family dared to be killed by the new city lord, making the Demon Hunters in Huangquan City, who secretly cursed Ye Lingyue, fall silent.
Hundreds of miles away, Bo Qing and Tan Su, having finished their community matters, encountered a messenger on the road.
"Reporting to the two presidents, a major incident has occurred. Yesterday at noon, Huangquan City broke into chaos. Chairman Jin led over a hundred insurgents and attacked the Acting City Lord."
Upon hearing the news, joy appeared on Tan Su’s face.
Actually, this message should have been sent last night, but she had suppressed it.
Even if Bo Qing rushed back now, it was too late.
Tan Su glanced at Bo Qing, only to find Bo Qing merely responding with a hum, not overly panicking but replied casually.
"Has anyone been injured?"
"Report to the president..." The messenger glanced at Bo Qing, then at Tan Su, his mouth twitching uncontrollably, "Heavy casualties."
Tan Su seemed even happier, her eyes showing delight.
"Chairman Jin died in the women’s prison, and all the remaining hundred Demon Hunters were beheaded, none survived."
Tan Su’s face froze, thinking she misheard.
None survived!
"That’s Ling Yue’s usual style. This time, the Jin Family is likely unable to sit idle."
Bo Qing shrugged.
He had seen Ye Lingyue’s tactics before in Mercenary City.
Ye Lingyue’s approach was to repay kindness with abundance and avenge with tenfold repayment.
"Tan Su, what’s wrong with you, you’re not looking well?"
Bo Qing’s eyes caught a glimpse of Tan Su.
"It’s nothing, just admiring City Lord Ye’s methods."
Tan Su forced a smile.
"Tan Su, as your friend, I advise you: some things are enough once, if there is a second time, no one can protect you. After returning to Huangquan City, hand over all your affairs, and take a break."
Bo Qing sighed, tightened his legs, and the horse beneath him shot forward like an arrow, leaving Tan Su without a glance.
He had already known.
Tan Su’s heart was filled with unease; now she realized that Bo Qing was aware of her petty schemes all along.
Tan Su gritted her teeth, whipped the horse fiercely, and headed towards Huangquan City.
Shortly after Tan Su and Bo Qing left, several people appeared from a nearby hill.
"Lord Mu, Chairman Jin is dead. You promised the elders of the Jin Family to take care of Chairman Jin, but now..."
Several members of the Jiu Provinces Alliance surrounded Lord Mu.
Chairman Jin belonged to the Jin Family; upon learning of his capture, Lord Mu wrote a letter to have Ye Lingyue release him.
The person was released, but delivered as a corpse.
Ye Lingyue returned a letter saying Chairman Jin had committed suicide and she was helpless.
"Hmm, that Ye is too arrogant. Revenge is sweet even after ten years; she thinks being the city lord of Huangquan City is that easy? We’ll return to headquarters; naturally, someone will handle that insolent girl."
Lord Mu flicked his sleeves, leading the group, disappearing into the wilderness.
Thus, in just three days, Huangquan City experienced significant changes.
After eliminating the cancerous figures, including Chairman Jin, the city’s public security improved significantly. The previously impoverished Huangquan City, due to the head tax, now had sufficient finances, and the city’s order was gradually restored, to the satisfaction of both the Huangquan City Lord and the Old City Lord.
However, Ye Lingyue knew that merely maintaining good security wasn’t enough; she needed plans to revive Huangquan City to its former prosperity.
For a city to flourish, new blood must enter, but due to the failure of rookie projects in recent years, Huangquan City had become a forbidden zone for newcomers.
Hence, Ye Lingyue began planning to enter the Qiulin Ruins, to uncover the true secrets of Qiulin Ruins.
