After his initial shock, Jiang Can sneered. "Two mere Entry-Rank First-Rank Martial Artists who have only just entered the ranks, and you dare play tricks here?"
As his words fell, he sprang up and lunged straight at Pi Hou and Du Gang.
The instant he attacked, powerful fluctuations of Origin Force surged rapidly around him.
Below Tian Wenguang, Fu Qingyang, and Xiang Chuxiong, Jiang Can was widely acknowledged as the strongest.
Of course, because Wang Tianye had always concealed his strength, people had not counted him.
With his cultivation at second grade perfection, Jiang Can was indeed the person with the highest cultivation in Windrise Stronghold on the surface after the deaths of Fu Qingyang, Wang Tianye, Tian Wenguang, and Xiang Chuxiong.
This was also the key to Jiang Can standing out among the many contenders and gaining control of the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord's Seal.
The instant Jiang Can made his move, footsteps sounded outside the council hall.
Then two men stepped across the threshold and entered the hall.
One wore black and had a black beard. He was none other than Xiang Chuxiong's cousin, Xiang Li.
Walking beside Xiang Li was a young man in a long white robe, tall and slender, with handsome features. It was Chen Shi'an.
Jiang Can, who had already leaped twenty feet, abruptly halted, staring fixedly at Xiang Li with a grave look in his eyes.
Xiang Li was a Second-Rank Martial Artist, and after Xiang Chuxiong's death, he was a strong contender for the position of City Lord.
However, from last night until now, he had not shown himself or taken part in the turmoil.
"Xiang Li, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Can spoke coldly.
Xiang Li raised his eyelids slightly and looked Jiang Can up and down.
