Chapter 1277 - 1276: Bloody Hell
Gray Eagle, after a moment of astonishment, quickly responded, saying: "That's right, the ultimate winner of this year's city-wide tournament is none other than you, Young Master!"
Upon saying this, Gray Eagle's face immediately showed a look of excitement and joy. Looking at all the cultivators around the mountain peaks, he announced: "I now declare that the winner of this year's city-wide tournament is Young Master Lin Fei, and thus the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City is also Young Master Lin Fei."
Wan Guohai and Wan Jingyuan are already out of the picture, and Gray Eagle would not foolishly remain loyal to the Wan family. So, he immediately began to curry favor with Lin Fei.
Lin Fei is already the most powerful person in Ten Thousand Swords City and will become someone all cultivators in this grand city look up to.
If Gray Eagle doesn't curry favor with him, then who else would he curry favor with?
All cultivators around the mountain peaks had no objections.
Lin Fei did indeed defeat the powerful Wan Guohai and his son. According to the rules of the city-wide tournament, the ultimate victor becomes the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City.
Then, as Lin Fei stored the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip into the Storage Ring in mid-air, he glanced at Gray Eagle and said: "You've got it wrong, the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City should be Qiu Qiming. I stated before participating in the tournament that I was representing Qiu Qiming, and upon winning the tournament, the position of City Lord should belong to him."
All cultivators around the mountain peaks were astonished and whispered among themselves, all surprised that Lin Fei actually gave up the position of new City Lord to Qiu Qiming.
Few people can be so generous.
Gray Eagle was also shocked and recalled that Lin Fei indeed said this before his match with Wan Jingyuan.
Thus, Gray Eagle immediately reacted and quickly agreed to Lin Fei, saying: "Young Master Lin is right, this year's city-wide tournament first place is both Young Master Lin and Young Master Qiu's, so the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City is also Young Master Qiu."
After saying this, Gray Eagle bowed to Lin Fei in mid-air, shouting loudly: "Congratulations Young Master Lin on the victory, congratulations Young Master Qiu on becoming the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City!"
With Gray Eagle's bow, all the cultivators around the mountain peaks, especially the people from the ten major families, immediately knelt down in unison and shouted: "Congratulations Young Master Lin on the victory, congratulations Young Master Qiu on becoming the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City."
Their voices echoed throughout the heavens and earth, reverberating among the peaks.
On the platform of Heaven-Stealing Peak, Qiu Qiming was in a daze, feeling like he was dreaming, unable to believe Lin Fei really did it, making him the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City.
His eyes gleamed with excitement, clenching his fist, he whispered to himself: Father, Mother, can you see this?
Lin Fei has avenged you!
And Lin Fei made me the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City. You can rest in peace now!
Lin Fei's gaze turned to all the cultivators around the mountain peaks and said: "Please rise! I also have a few words to say."
All cultivators around the mountain peaks showed a look of confusion, glancing at each other, all guessing what Lin Fei was about to say.
In unison, they thanked Young Master Lin and stood up from the ground, then all eyes turned to Lin Fei, waiting for him to speak.
Lin Fei looked at everyone and said: "Some of you may think it's not Qiu Qiming who won the city-wide tournament, so you're unwilling to accept him as the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City.
However, everyone listen well, I don't care whether you accept Qiu Qiming as the City Lord or not, if I find out anyone dares to defy Qiu Qiming's orders, dare to oppose him, or harm him, I, Lin Fei, will not spare them no matter where they are."
With Lin Fei's words, everyone's face showed a look of awe.
Everyone replied in unison: "We are willing to abide by Young Master Lin's words, absolutely loyal to City Lord Qiu, without betrayal."
"Hmm, that's best, I hope you do what you say." Lin Fei finished speaking and descended onto the platform of Heaven-Stealing Peak.
Lin Fei came before Qiu Qiming and said: "Qiu Qiming, I said I would give you the position of City Lord; this is what the Wan family owes your Qiu family, and now I return it to your Qiu family."
Qiu Qiming was too moved to speak, only nodded: "Lin Fei, thank you..."
Lin Fei reached out and patted Qiu Qiming's shoulder, saying: "No need for thanks, you're my brother."
After speaking, Lin Fei looked at Gray Eagle and said: "Who's the highest-ranking person in the Wan family now?"
Gray Eagle said: "Wan Guohai's several brothers died one after another in the battle for Holy Mine Mountain against the Gongsun family of Liufeng City. Currently, the highest-ranking member of the Wan family is the second son, Wan Jingxuan, who is imprisoned in the Wan family fortress."
Lin Fei said: "He will never step out of the Wan family fortress, tell me, aside from him, who's highest in the Wan family now?"
Gray Eagle showed a look of nervousness, opened his mouth, then said: "If you exclude Wan Jingxuan, then the highest-ranking person in the Wan family is me, the house steward."
Lin Fei fixed his gaze on Gray Eagle's face, chuckled: "So you're the highest in the Wan family now, that's good, tomorrow, I want to hold a plaque-changing ceremony and the new City Lord's inauguration in the Wan Family City Lord's Mansion. All families must attend, and you must have all the top experts of the Wan family swear allegiance to Qiu Qiming and acknowledge him as your new lord.
If not, then leave the City Lord's Mansion and leave Ten Thousand Swords City."
Gray Eagle's face changed slightly, evidently not expecting Lin Fei to be so tough. He quickly replied: "Yes, Young Master Lin, tomorrow I will certainly follow Young Master Lin's instructions, change the Wan family plaque, hold the new City Lord's inauguration ceremony, and ensure everyone in the City Lord's Mansion swears allegiance to the new City Lord."
Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction.
Then, Lin Fei looked at Qiu Qiming, Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo, and others and said: "Let's go see the City Lord's Mansion."
Qiu Qiming, Yuan Yuxi, and others nodded.
Consequently, Lin Fei and company flew away from the platform of Heaven-Stealing Peak toward the golden hall of Wan Family Peak, the City Lord's Mansion.
As Lin Fei and company left, all cultivators from various families on the surrounding mountain peaks also flew away from the platform towers of the peaks, heading toward Ten Thousand Swords City, as tomorrow was the new City Lord's inauguration, which meant cultivators coming from other places could only stay in the main city of Ten Thousand Swords City.
Meanwhile, Gray Eagle flew to Wan Family Peak Plaza, immediately ordering all Wan family experts to start preparing the City Lord's Mansion for tomorrow's new City Lord's inauguration, making the mansion busy inside and out.
At the same time, the news that Lin Fei had defeated the Wan father and son and given the new City Lord's position to Qiu Qiming spread rapidly with those who witnessed the battle, causing a great stir in Ten Thousand Swords City.
The next day, the new City Lord's inauguration was held at the spacious plaza before the Wan Family City Lord's Mansion, spacious enough for thousands.
Of course, because Qiu Qiming became the new City Lord, the plaque at the Wan Mansion was changed to the plaque for Qiu Mansion of the City Lord.
Under Gray Eagle's host and Lin Fei's supervision, Qiu Qiming accepted all families, close to ten thousand cultivators, who knelt thrice and bowed nine times.
During the grand ceremony, Qiu Qiming became the new City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City, while Lin Fei also became recognized as the one truly controlling Ten Thousand Swords City in the eyes of everyone.
Things were bustling and celebratory in Ten Thousand Swords City during the grand ceremony, yet in Thousand Dragon City, at that moment, it had become a bloody hell...
