Schemes from All Sides, Pushing Lin Yi to the Top

Qian Xuan narrowed his eyes, his expression unreadable. "Kun Haori, what do you mean?"

Among the Eight Great Families of Ancient Domain, the Qian Family and the Kun Family have a long history of conflict, as one controls the ' Qian Heaven ' Domain and the other controls the ' Kun Earth ' Domain.

When the two factions clash, the ' Qian Heaven ' Domain often prevails, which leads the Kun Family's 'Qian' disciples to like tripping up the Qian Family.

"Haha, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that we are all Tong Pass Guardian here, and we can trust you to be our colleagues. Even if you, Town Guardian Qian Xuan, become the Deputy Prefect in the future, you will still have to rely on us to work together for Tongguan Prefecture and for the Ancient Domain. So, I hope you can be more frank with some things. After all, none of you here are fools."

Although Kun Haori was young, his words were undeniably sharp, quickly putting Qian Xuan in a very difficult position.

Qian Xuan thought for a moment, "I do indeed have a fellow ancestor, but doesn't your Kun Family also have an ancestor..."

Kun Haori interrupted, "That's why I told everyone long ago. Only you kept it a secret, thinking you were so clever."

Qian Xuan, too lazy to respond further, looked at the crowd and asked, "Hmph, words are useless. I just want to ask, who was it that controlled several Tongguan Treasure using the Treasure Combination Art just now?"

Lin Yi spoke up, "It is Qin."

"Qin Jian?"

Qian Xuan raised his eyebrows deeply.

Before setting off, ' Qin Jian ' entered the Martial Saint Seventh Realm with the ' Shocking Thunder ' Domain, and also made it clear that he could refine Superior Martial Saint Pill. Therefore, he also had the intention of befriending ' Qin Jian ' and wanted to win him over.

He just didn't expect that Qin Jian's talent would far exceed his imagination, and that he could quickly master even the obscure and difficult-to-learn Fu Treasure Combination Art.

Aside from You Huoli, this ' Qin Jian ' in front of him is probably his biggest competitor to become the Deputy Prefect.

Fortunately, Qin Jian's background is ultimately too weak, with only the Gu Family as his backer. Even if Qin Jian performs exceptionally well on this trip, he will probably find it difficult to become the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass.

Thinking of this, Qian Xuan felt a little more at ease and offered a compliment. "So it's Brother Qin, you're truly skilled."

He then said, "Gentlemen, I have been practicing the Treasure Combination Art these past two days. I wonder if I could borrow the Tongguan Treasure from you all so that I can also try it out."

Lei Buping seemed to be at odds with Qian Xuan, and quickly said, "Let's skip it. Now that Monster in the Endless Fire Domain have been suppressed by us, even that Five-Clawed Dark Dragon is trapped in the sea below. There's no need for you to use the Treasure Combination Art again."

Kun Haori also spoke up, "Brother Lei is right. The Endless Fire Domain Trial has ended. I'm afraid it's too late for you, Qian Zhenshou, to show your strength now."

To be honest, Kun Haori really didn't want any more members of the Qian Family to become Deputy Prefect.

Compared to Qian Xuan, Town Guardian Qin's rise to power is more in line with the interests of the Kun Family.

Perhaps, given Qin Jian's current lack of resources, if he had the support of his many Garrison Commander, coupled with the background of the Gu Family, there would be a 70-80% chance that he could become the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass.

Qian Xuan frowned and said, "Everyone, the Mansion Master once said that the criterion for selecting the Deputy Prefect was to kill the Five-Clawed Dark Dragon. Now that evil dragon is not dead, how can I not Treasure Combination Art?"

Lei Buping stuck his head out from the crowd and said, "No means no. Even if you kill me, I won't give you the Eighth Tong Pass."

Qian Xuan's murderous 'Get lost' just now made Lei Buping lose face completely.

From now on, Lei Buping will face off against Qian Xuan!

Qian Xuan was once again enraged by Lei Buping's words.

He said angrily in a deep voice, "Lei Buping, this is a mission from Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord! How dare you disobey me like this..."

"Do Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord. No one here knows what he said to you. Besides, Brother Qin can now skillfully use the Treasure Combination Art. There's no point in you showing off."

Kun Haori smiled and said, "Qian Zhenshou, my Tenth Tong Pass was affected by the battle just now and needs to be nurtured. I'm afraid I can't just take it out of my body."

After thinking for a moment, Shao Lian also spoke up, "Me too."

Qian Sanliang stated his position. "Qian Zhenshou, the Tongguan Treasure are of utmost importance, and we cannot simply borrow them back and forth."

"Good, very good!"

Seeing that no one present was willing to lend him the Tongguan Treasure, Qian Xuan's anger rose uncontrollably, and even his voice trembled slightly.

Just then, You Huoli couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother Qian, you don't need so many Tongguan Treasure to experiment with the Treasure Combination Art. You can try my Fifth Tong Pass for now. If your performance is mediocre, then let Brother Qin take over the task of controlling several Tong Pass this time."

As he spoke, You Huoli threw out the Fifth Tong Pass.

Qian Xuan also guessed that his departure from the group to seek opportunities in the Fire Domain, and his concealment of information from everyone, had led to his alienation from the group.

Right now, I can only demonstrate my proficiency in the Treasure Combination Art) technique at the Fifth Tong Pass.

Qian Xuan chanted incantations and sent a beam of True Qi into the Fifth Tong Pass. The Fifth Tong Pass wobbled and flew up, finally hovering in Qian Xuan's hand.

Qian Xuan smiled confidently, "What do you all think?"

Lei Buping snorted and said, "Look at your smug look. Compared to Brother Qin, your technique is too clumsy."

"It's natural to be clumsy when using it for the first time. Let me spend some time with this Fifth Tong Pass, and I'll become familiar with it."

It must be said that among the town Garrison Commander present, apart from Lin Yi, Qian Xuan had the highest level of understanding of the Treasure Combination Art), even You Huoli could not compare.

Seeing that no one had expressed their opinion, Qian Xuan couldn't help but look at You Huoli: "Brother Li, what do you think?"

You Huoli said, "Brother Qian, try again to see if you can control the attack on the Fifth Tong Pass normally."

"Of course, no problem."

Qian Xuan was full of confidence. Since he could summon the Fifth Tong Pass, how could he not make it attack?

However, upon communicating with the Tong Pass Artifact Spirit, Qian Xuan immediately frowned.

"What's Thread Fruit' meeting gift' called? And a spa massage too? What kind of nonsense is this?!"

Qian Xuan found it hard to understand why this Fifth Tong Pass was so different from what he had imagined.

You have to demand benefits to get them to do what you want.

Seeing that the Fifth Tong Pass was spinning in Qian Xuan's hand without making any movement, everyone guessed that he had probably lost control of the beast.

"Haha, with this Treasure Combination Art properly."

"Indeed, I cannot compare to Brother Qin..."

Qian Xuan turned to look at You Huoli, and asked in a questioning tone, "Brother You, you didn't give any instructions to the Fifth Tong Pass in advance, did you?"

You Huoli sighed, thinking to himself, "I kindly took out this treasure for you Qian Xuan, to try, so you wouldn't lose face in public. I never expected you to look at me Qian Xuan this. It's really not worth it."

At this moment, First Town Guardian Fu Feng had been watching the show for a while, spoke up, "Enough, Brother Qian. In terms of mastery of the Treasure Combination Art, you are indeed inferior to Town Guardian Qin."

Qian Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Fu, did you try it too?"

Fufeng replied truthfully, "I tried, but I can't even compare to you, let alone Town Guardian Qin."

Qian Xuan glanced at Lin Yi and then questioned, "So you mean to make Town Guardian Qin the Deputy Prefect of Tongguan Prefecture?"

Lei Buping said, "That's not necessarily a bad thing. You weren't here before, so you didn't see Brother Qin's performance... Of course, it wouldn't matter whether you were here or not. Now that the Fire Domain crisis has been resolved and the Trial is over, you should continue to search for those treasures and opportunities with Town Guardian Gai."

After Lei Buping finished speaking, everyone else fell silent, clearly agreeing with what Lei Buping said.

Qian Xuan was furious that these ten people had joined forces against him.

When did Qian Xuan become so unpopular in Tongguan Prefecture?

The Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass was reserved for him by his family, and he was determined to get it no matter what.

Qian Xuan turned his head and said, "Brother Gai, I want to go deep into the Fire Sea to kill that Five-Clawed Dark Dragon. Why don't you join forces with me? I can share some of the Heaven and Earth Power you then."

Gai Duanjian was extremely excited upon hearing this, as the Heaven and Earth Power was too scarce in the Ancient Domain and was really hard to find.

However, after scanning the ten Garrison Commander present, he shook his head and said, "Brother Qian, now that the Trial is over, I will not stay with you."

He could see that the Twelve Town Guardians were now divided into two camps due to the competition for the position of Deputy Prefect.

If he chooses Qian Xuan, he will probably be isolated by the ten Garrison Commander in front of him.

Although the Qian Family is powerful, the ten Garrison Commander present are not to be underestimated.

His Gai Family currently facing a generational gap and is on a downward spiral, but he cannot afford to choose the wrong side.

Therefore, he chose the side with more people.

"Very good, very good, then farewell everyone!"

Qian Xuan gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, then his figure flashed and landed in the Lava Sea below.

Seeing that Qian Xuan's figure had completely disappeared into the Fire Sea, Qian Sanliang spread his hands and clicked his tongue, saying, "Well, we've really offended Qian Zhenshou this time."

Lei Buping, "So what if I offended him? This person is selfish and self-serving, and does not deserve to be the Garrison Commander!"

After saying this, Qian Sanliang and Lei Buping bowed and said, "Brother Qin, congratulations! If you really become the Deputy Prefecture Lord of Tong Pass in the future, don't forget today's celebration."

"Yes, if that Qian Xuan tries to suppress me with his cultivation level again, Brother Qin, you must teach him a lesson..."

Lin Yi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Gentlemen, it is too early to talk about the position of Deputy Prefect. Our most urgent task is to complete the important mission of Tongguan Prefecture."

Kun Haori stepped forward and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder. "Tsk tsk, this awareness, it seems that the vacancy of the Deputy Prefect position in the Qian Family is none other than Brother Qin!"

Lei Buping cursed again, "So it was the Qian Family that vacated the position! Qian Xuan actually dares to claim he knew nothing about it, how shameless..."

Yang Fan said, "Alright, as long as all ten of us, no, all eleven of us support Brother Qin, then no matter how powerful Qian Xuan's family background is, he won't be able to get the position of Deputy Prefect."

You Huoli thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection. Does the Fufeng Town Guardian have any concerns?"

All eyes were on Fufeng. As the first Garrison Commander and the most senior garrison Garrison Commander, Fufeng should have been the first choice for Deputy Prefect.

Of all those present, besides You Huoli, only Fufeng was truly troubled.

Fufeng sighed and said, "I also think that Town Guardian Qin is more suitable."

In fact, Fufeng and Qian Xuan had a close relationship before, but the competition for the position of Deputy Prefect created a rift between them.

Fu Feng learned that Qian Xuan had known the inside story all along, and that it was all a scheme by the Qian Family Old Ancestor, with him being merely a Fufeng.

How could he not feel immense resentment towards Qian Xuan after being so manipulated?
