Chapter 16 The Battle of the City Lords
Sun Shaotian was a little surprised, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the compliment!"

But at this moment, there was a flash of cold light, and a long sword pointed directly at the vital point of his throat, just a few minutes further, could kill him.

Sun Shaotian couldn't help but tense up, sweating profusely.

Xue Yu stared at him and said slowly, "You're scared, aren't you?"

He nodded: "Yes."

Xue Yuning: "Then don't follow me, as long as I make a move, you will die."

He smiled lightly: "No, I know you will never kill me."

Xue Yuning's expression changed slightly: "You know?"

He answered frankly: "Of course."

Xue Yuning put her sword back into its sheath, and stood there with her back to him: "You are very courageous."

The favorability between him and Xue Yuning increased from 0 to 50.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and then said: "My next son, Sun Shaotian, pay my respects to Xue Daxia."

Xue Yuning waved her hand: "See you by fate."

Before the words fell, Xue Yuning used lightness kung fu, turned around and flew away.

He looked at the distant figure of the other party, but his heart was full of joy.

After Xue Yuning left, he also turned around and left here.

In the dim night, he was still moving in the city.

Under the reminder of the strategy, he still quickly found the way forward.

He came to a blacksmith shop.

I heard him ask: "Master blacksmith, can you make me a cloak out of tiger skin?"

The blacksmith nodded: "Of course, you need a tiger skin and 500 taels of silver."

He smiled and gave the money and a piece of tiger skin to the blacksmith.

After half an hour, a "tiger skin cloak" was created.

Without much hesitation, he put the cloak on his body.

The system prompts: "You have obtained a tiger skin cloak, which can increase the wearer's defense by 70."

In this way, his attack power is 303 and his defense power is 458.

Although this kind of equipment is not top-notch, it is enough for him to face the next battle.

Then, Sun Shaotian turned around and left the blacksmith shop, continuing to act in the city.

With the help of the small map, he came to the front of the Quicksand Palace.

At this time, the sun rose and the sky gradually brightened.

He was also in a good mood, full of anticipation for what was to come.

Groups of quicksand city guards stood guard at the gate.

Merchants entered the quicksand palace from the outside.

He followed suit.

I saw a large hall in front of me, and three people stood in the center.

Among them was Xue Yuning whom he had met.

In addition, there are two middle-aged men.

One was wearing coarse clothes, looking very sloppy, smiling.

The other has a serious expression and is neatly dressed, but there is anxiety in his eyes.

After seeing these two people, Sun Shaotian was full of curiosity.

Then I heard the man in coarse cloth say: "It's a pleasure to see you all here, and I'm very pleased to see Xu Liushang."

The system prompts: "Xu Liushang, deputy city lord of Quicksand City, 45 years old, level 78, HP 12000, physical strength 11000, internal strength 13000."

Another urged: "Let's get started, stop procrastinating."

System prompt: "Qu Mingyuan, 42 years old, head of Quicksand City, level 75, HP 10000, physical strength 9000, internal strength 9800."

Among the three, the youngest Xue Yuning was actually the one with the highest martial arts, which somewhat exceeded Sun Shaotian's expectations.

Xu Liuzhang smiled: "It's okay, Director Qu, I, Xu Liuzhang, don't care who is the new city lord at all, I just want to be happy."

Qu Mingyuan waved his hand: "Hmph, this is a major event in Quicksand City, you are so careless, you really have bad intentions!"

Xu Liuzhang asked back: "Bad intentions? Qu Mingyuan, don't label people casually, I just have a wider heart."

Qu Mingyuan was even more dissatisfied; "Great heart? I think you are just a hands-off shopkeeper. Over the years, you have never managed the affairs of the city at all. I have solved most of the things."

Xu Liuzhang rolled his eyes: "Okay, you can be the city lord! Don't tell me these useless things."

Qu Mingyuan seemed to be still relentless, and was about to speak.

Xue Yuning said coldly: "Don't waste any more time."

Qu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's fine."

He turned around and looked at the many merchants and quicksand city guards around him: "Everyone, today, it's up to you to choose. Write the name of your favorite person on a piece of paper and put it in the empty wine jar in front of you."

While speaking, Qu Mingyuan pointed to the empty wine jar on the ground.

The merchants nodded one after another, took out the names they had written long ago from their bosoms, and put them into the altar.

The same is true for the guards of Quicksand City.

Sun Shaotian stood in the distance, watching this scene, secretly guessing in his heart.

After a while, everyone voted.

Qu Mingyuan also picked up the jar and started counting.

Soon, the results came out.

Xu Liushang got the most votes, followed by Qu Mingyuan and Xue Yuning the least.

Seeing this scene, Xu Liuzhang waved his hands hastily: "Everyone, what you have done is really frustrating me. How can I, Xu Liuzhang, be able to take on this great responsibility?"

Qu Mingyuan looked dissatisfied: "Xu Liushang, since everyone has elected you as the city lord, why do you refuse?"

Xue Yuning also sneered.

Xu Liuzhang was even more unhappy: "No, Qu Mingyuan, I'm used to being lazy. If I were to be the city lord, I would definitely not be able to handle the complicated affairs in the city, absolutely not."

Qu Mingyuan asked back: "But most people in the city regard you as the lord of the city, so why do you refuse? Do you want to disobey everyone?"

Xu Liushang still insisted: "Qu Mingyuan, I'm sorry, I will never accept this job."

The two argued like this for a long time, but it still had no effect.

At this moment, Xue Yuning suddenly said: "Don't waste any more time, why don't you think of a better way."

Qu Mingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What way?"

Xue Yuning replied: "Whoever can find the hiding place of the horse thieves in the Land of Ten Thousand Sands and kill their leader behind the scenes must become the lord of the city and must not refuse."

Xu Liushang smiled: "This method is good."

Xue Yuning continued: "If you deliberately delay the time and don't complete the task, that's fine."

Xu Liuzhang's face changed, and he lowered his head: "Okay."

Qu Mingyuan nodded: "What Xue Yuning said is true, Xu Liushang, if you succeed again this time, you can no longer refuse."

Xu Liuzhang asked back: "Qu Mingyuan, what if you find it?"

Qu Mingyuan patted his chest: "That means I will be the city lord, Xu Liushang, don't worry, I'm not like you, I will never refuse."

Xu Liushang smiled wryly: "Alright then."

Xue Yuning said flatly, "I'll take a step first."

Before the words fell, he used lightness kung fu and flew away.

Sun Shaotian followed closely behind.

Just like that, the two left Quicksand City one after the other.
