The Qi State Nine Provinces Order
Azi stood on the high platform, looking down arrogantly at the ten thousand residents of Mangcang Town. Under Azi's gaze, the residents of Mangcang Town lowered their heads, behaving very obediently.
If it weren't for yesterday's events, the ascetics outside the Bookstore would probably have thought the residents of this town were very simple and honest.
"As expected of a cunning commoner, very shrewd," the cultivator outside the Bookstore couldn't help but remark.
"But is that little girl in the purple robe really that scary? Why is everyone so frightened when they see her?" a cultivator asked, puzzled.
Azi's cultivation level was the lowest among the four, so logically, everyone should have been most afraid of the one with the highest cultivation level. However, the opposite was true. No one showed any fear towards the three with the highest cultivation level, the most ferocious-looking one, or the most robust one. Instead, their fear was particularly evident in front of Azi, who had the lowest cultivation level.
The other cultivators also looked puzzled, but they didn't pay much attention to it. After a brief discussion, they put their minds back on watching the projection.
On the projection screen, Azi, like a proud peacock, surveyed the entire room before nodding in satisfaction, clapping her hands, and saying, "I've gathered everyone here today to announce something."
The ten thousand residents below bowed their heads in silence.
Azi frowned and snapped, "All of you, raise your heads!"
"Swish swish~"
Ten thousand people raised their heads instantly, looking at Azi, but their gazes were somewhat unfocused.
Wow~~~
Suddenly, a resident's child started crying; he had been frightened to tears by Azi.
The child's mother quickly picked him up and comforted him, but it was no use; the child cried even louder.
"Whoosh~"
In an instant, the residents around the child moved away, leaving a large open space.
Azi slowly walked down.
The child's mother was horrified when she saw this and quickly turned her back to prevent her child from seeing Azi.
Strangely enough, when the child saw Azi walking towards him, he immediately fell silent, only tears still flowing...
"Holy crap, how scared must he be of her?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this.
Who would have thought that the girl who cried and wailed in the Tomb of the Tomb of the Hegemon because of a seventh-tier spirit garment would become a little tyrant in Mangcang Town, a place known for its troublemakers!
"Are you still crying?" Azi asked softly.
The child quickly shook his head, tears streaming down his face.
Azi nodded in satisfaction, turned back to the platform, pointed at Gongsun Qiong, and continued, "From today onwards, President Gongsun is the mayor of our Mangcang Town! From now on, Mayor Gongsun's words carry the weight of my words, Azi's words... no, Azi words still matter, does everyone understand?"
"Understood!" the ten thousand responded in unison.
Only...
"I didn't understand!" The abrupt voice echoed throughout the square.
Azi's face darkened. She turned towards the direction from which the voice came and said sharply, "Who said that just now? Step forward!"
"Swish swish~"
The people in that direction scattered instantly, leaving only six people standing there.
All six men were dressed in coarse linen, with sallow complexions, rough skin, and exaggerated expressions.
"Isn't that the five-person team?" The cultivators outside the Bookstore recognized them at a glance.
Although the five were disguised, they were still easily recognized by everyone because they had seen their faces before.
"Why is there an extra one?" a cultivator asked in confusion.
The task was clearly for five people, and there were definitely five people yesterday, so how come there's one more person after just one night?
The five people in the projection were also a bit confused! They glanced at the suddenly appearing sixth person out of the corner of their eyes.
"Brother, who are you?" Yu Chengxian asked, looking at the sixth person beside him with a puzzled expression.
The sixth man patted the man Yu Chengxian on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, I admire a brave and unyielding man like you. Today, let's fight them to the death!"
Well, it turns out I've run into a troublemaker.
The five-person team was secretly delighted. They had been sneaking into Mangcang Town for a night, and to avoid being Foresight, they had been trying their best to avoid contact with the troublemakers of Mangcang Town. If they could take this opportunity to get to know one of the troublemakers in Mangcang Town, it would be more beneficial for them to integrate into the circle of Mangcang Town.
Thinking of this, Yu Chengxian reached out to grasp the sixth person's hand and get closer to him.
'Whoosh~'
Suddenly, the sixth man grabbed Yu Chengxian's arm and twisted him behind the ox. Yu Chengxian frowned on the spot, but immediately let go without resisting. After grabbing Yu Chengxian's arm, the sixth man grabbed his shoulder with his other hand and kicked Yu Chengxian in the shin. Yu Chengxian knelt down and was captured by the sixth man.
"Young Miss, I've subdued this stubborn scoundrel!" The sixth man said obsequiously as he looked at Azi approaching.
Everyone was speechless.
"What's it to you? Go stand aside." Azi walked up to the person Yu Chengxian and waved to the sixth person.
The sixth person then released his Yu Chengxian, chuckled, and ran to the side.
Azi looked at Yu Chengxian and the four people behind him, and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"
Even when pressed to the ground, he didn't think of becoming Yu Chengxian. He knelt on one knee, looked at Azi, and said, "Young Miss, we have no problem with you, we have a problem with her."
Yu Chengxian pointed at Gongsun Qiong and said, "She's an outsider. What makes her think she can be the mayor of Mangcang Town? Why should we listen to her? Don't you all agree?"
The onlookers looked at each other, then at Azi, and finally chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, the five who Yu Chengxian a chill in their hearts. It seemed that Azi had a great deterrent effect on these unruly people.
Azi circled around the five people Yu Chengxian and said, "Look, none of them have any objections."
"The reason they have no objections is because they are afraid of the young lady," Yu Chengxian said, tilting his head back.
"Brother, what you said is absolutely true!" The residents of Mangcang Town all looked at Yu Chengxian with admiration in their eyes.
"Hey!" Azi was so angry that she pointed at the Yu Chengxian, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"You unruly commoner, just kill him already!" Suddenly, the Second Mother standing on the high platform said coldly.
'Call out'
Immediately following was a whooshing sound, and the Second Mother's whip lashed out at the Yu Chengxian.
Yu Chengxian and the others frowned, secretly realizing they were in trouble. They had taken pills to conceal their cultivation levels, so their apparent cultivation was only at the Spirit Master Sixth Stage. However, Second Mother was peak Spirit King ninth stage, and her attack was incredibly powerful. With their current cultivation, they simply couldn't withstand it. So, if they were to take the hit, their cultivation would be directly exposed.
If it gets exposed, the mission is basically doomed.
At that moment, all five of them were prepared to withstand the attack.
'Bite'
Unexpectedly, Azi suddenly drew her spirit sword and blocked the Second Mother's whip.
"Second Mother, didn't we agree to educate these unruly people? If you kill them all, how can you educate them?" Azi said to the high platform with dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright, Second Mother is in charge. Second Madam won't interfere," Second Mother said with a doting expression from the high platform.
Azi nodded in satisfaction, turned to look at the five people Yu Chengxian, and said, "Alright, since you've said so, then this young lady cannot use her power to intimidate you."
At this point, Azi looked around at the ten thousand residents of Mangcang Town and said, "Now, those who approve of President Gongsun as the mayor of Mangcang Town, please stand to the left; those who do not approve, please stand to the right. This time, everyone can choose as they please. I, Azi, swear to heaven that I will absolutely not hold anyone accountable."
With a 'ding!', Azi slashed with her spirit sword, creating a fifty-meter-long crack.
'Da da da'
'Da da da da da'
'Hurry, hurry, hurry...'
'Save me some space.'
Don't push!
Thus, ten thousand residents of Mangcang Town rushed to the right side of the crack.
"You unruly people! What a bunch of unruly people!" Seeing this, Azi was so angry that she even threw away her sword.
The one-armed man on the high platform saw this and winked at Taishan.
Taishan nodded in understanding, opened his large palm downwards, and shot a stream of Spiritual Power from his palm towards the earth.
Five minutes later, everyone finished taking their positions.
Azi had already given up all hope, but then she suddenly discovered that there were actually ten troublemakers standing on the left!
Overjoyed, he skipped over and asked, "Can I ask you why you chose to stay on the left?"
The ten troublemakers had very strange expressions on their faces, and every now and then they would pull their legs like pulling up radishes. When they saw Azi running over, they all stood up obediently at once.
"Because we trust Miss!" the ten people said in unison.
But what they were really thinking was, "Damn it, why can't I move my own Laozi!"
"Hehe." Miss Azi was very satisfied with this answer. So much so that even when ten thousand people ran past her, she didn't seem unhappy at all.
Gongsun Qiong stood on the high platform, her gaze lingering on the five people who had just caused trouble.
"I didn't expect they were here to sabotage my mission," Gongsun Qiong thought to herself, narrowing her eyes.
No matter how well the five concealed themselves, they could not escape Gongsun Qiong's eyes, which could see through everything in the world; however, Gongsun Qiong did not directly expose them, but allowed them to mingle among the residents of Mangcang Town.
"Perhaps they could become my helpers," Gongsun Qiong said with a slight smile, looking at the five people in the crowd.
After her initial excitement subsided, Azi remembered the task Gongsun Qiong had given her. Turning to the group of treacherous people opposite her, she said, "Since you refuse to acknowledge that President Gongsun is the mayor of Mangcang Town, then from this moment forward, I, on behalf of Mayor Gongsun, declare that you have been expelled! So you have one hour to prepare. After one hour, I do not wish to see you in Mangcang Town, understand?"
"Hiss!"
The residents of Mangcang Town gasped, but none of them dared to resist.
"Why should I?!" This was the voice of Yu Chengxian.
Azi said arrogantly, "Because this is Mangcang Town, you must obey the mayor of Mangcang Town!"
"Her position as town mayor is undeserved; she has not received national recognition," Yu Chengxian shouted.
Azi sneered, took out a token from her spatial bag, held it high, and said, "This is the Qi State Nine Provinces Order, which can appoint officials below the rank of city lord in any of the Nine Provinces of Qi State; I hereby announce the appointment of President Gongsun as the new mayor of Mangcang Town!"
