C730 Elect to be the Prefecture Master
C730 Elect to be the Prefecture Master
Under the cover of the nest, there would be no eggs left. Therefore, everyone in the Ding Family was afraid that the murderer of the Master of Prefecture would continue to find trouble with the Ding Family. Even the Prefecture Master was no match for him. Who else could be a match for him?
There were more than six hundred people in the Ding Residence. They were in a mess. They were anxious and anxious. They were full of pessimism. It was as if the end of the world was about to arrive.
Feng Yimo looked at the panicked Ding Residence, and with a thought, he quietly retreated into the shadows of a courtyard. He saw a Nascent Infant Late Period warrior rushing past him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of the man's neck, putting him into the Sumeru Bracelet. His appearance changed, and he changed into that man's clothes. Then, he casually walked around the courtyard, pretending to be in a panic.
Every time he arrived at a place, he would set up a few spirit seals. There was also an array flag, and after one circle, he changed the entire Ding Mansion into thirty-six different places.
After that, Feng Yimo secretly changed back to himself. That Nascent Infant Late Period warrior was hiding inside the Sumeru Bracelet. The scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to tell if there were one or two people missing.
"What are you panicking for? Go back to your own places!" Second Master Ding Baozhen appeared in the courtyard of the Ding Residence and shouted loudly. Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Si, who was guarding the Natal Soul Token in the air. "When did you discover that the Manor Lord's Natal Soul Token was broken?"
"In, in the morning!" Ding Ce replied in a submissive manner.
"When did it break this morning?" Ding Baozhen asked again. He wanted to know the exact time when the natal soul token broke so that he could determine the time of his brother's death.
"No, I don't know. I, I..." Ding Ce's face was pale. He spoke incoherently. Ding Baozhen noticed his abnormality. Without a word, he grabbed Ding Ce's head and started to search his soul.
Ah!
Ding Ce screamed in pain. Blood oozed out of his eyes, nose, and mouth, but Ding Baozhen's face was filled with anger. He exerted strength in his hand and with a bang, Ding Ce was crushed by him. His body was not even left behind!
"Good boy, you dare to leave your post without permission for two days and two nights!" After searching his soul, Ding Baozhen already knew that Ding Ce had secretly left the residence for two days. When he returned this morning, he found that the Manor Lord's Natal Soul Token had been shattered. He was so frightened that he did not dare to report back. He secretly ran out of the Upper Moon City. Who would have thought that he would bump into the Manor's commander and be captured.
Because of Ding Ce's negligence of duty, he could not know the exact time of death of the master. Moreover, it had been more than two hours. Even with the Soul Returning Technique, he could not find out the murderer's appearance.
"Where are the eight commanders?" Ding Baozhen roared angrily. Eight figures appeared in the Lord Mansion. They bowed and said, "Please instruct me, Second Master!"
"I order you to send more people to secretly investigate the death of the Prefecture Master. The sooner the better!"
"Yes!"
The eight of them flew into the air. Ding Baozhen saw Ren Xiao and the others still standing in the same place. He looked unhappy. "What? Haven't you watched enough?"
Ren Xiao quickly cupped his fists and left with the others.
On the way back to their residence, Lone Wolf, Hsu Mu, Qing Yu, and the others' minds were in chaos. The unreachable and high and mighty Prefecture Master had died? It was simply unbelievable! That was the Prefecture Master, a dignified Void Refinement Late Period cultivator. It was said that their lifespan was more than ten thousand years, but such a figure had died just like that. It made them doubt their lives and their lives.
Among all of them, only Feng Yimo had a calm expression as he walked at the front.
Ever since noon, Feng Yimo had fought Second Master Ding alone. All of the warriors admired him to the point of prostrating themselves in worship, as if he was a god. Not everyone had the courage to fight a Void Refinement Period warrior head on. Therefore, all of the warriors kept their distance from Feng Yimo in awe, not daring to call him brother like they usually did.
Qing Yu's heart was complicated. She could feel the distance between all the warriors and Feng Yimo. It could be said that they were in awe, but it could be said that they were afraid of being implicated. She was the same.
Everyone was silent. They walked quietly and quickly entered their respective rooms. They closed the door and went to sleep.
...
The next day, Ren Xiao made an excuse that something had happened to the Ding Mansion and did not want to disturb them any further. He suggested leaving, but Ding Haoyue did not try to persuade him to stay. Therefore, they left Shangyue City and headed towards Zixia Mountain.
That night, Ren Xiao used the Origin Spirit Mirror to report the death of Ren Xingkong and Ding Dongqiu, which shocked Ren Xingkong greatly.
In the study room, Ren Xingkong threw down the report and stood up. He walked around a few times and found that the Master of the House of Yue Ding was dead, and the House of Yue Ding was without a leader. Should he seize the opportunity to seize the territory of the House of Yue Ding?
Ao Lai Prefecture was divided into Sun, Moon, and Star Prefectures. It was divided according to the strength of each prefecture. For example, the Lords of the Sun rank were all early stage merged cultivators, and the Lord of the First Sun Prefecture was a Mahayana Late Period cultivator!
At the Moon grade prefects, there were basically Void Refinement Period cultivators. However, based on the number of Void Refinement Period cultivators, the strength of each prefecture was determined based on the strength of each prefecture prefects.
The Moon Ding Prefecture was adjacent to the Hsingyi Mansion, so it naturally knew the Moon Ding Prefecture very well. It was still possible for them to seize a few resources when they were all without a leader.
Therefore, Ren Xingkong excitedly gave out orders one after another. He ordered a large number of people to rush to the border of the two prefectures.
He was waiting for Ren Xiao and his group to leave the territory of Yueping Prefecture before making a move to prevent Ren Xiao and his group from getting revenge.
Three days later, the army of Hsingyi Mansion cultivators, who were ready, launched an attack. The flames of war rose all over the place. Under the surprise attack, they quickly occupied several valuable ore mines.
After Ding Baozhen and Ding Haoyue received the report, they flew into a rage. Although they were not ashamed of the actions of Hsingyi Mansion, they had no choice but to fight back with all their strength. The war quickly expanded, and the people who suffered the most were the ordinary people.
The Ao Lai Province had already received the news of Ding Dongqiu's death. They expressed their condolences and asked the Ding Family to elect a person to temporarily take charge of the Yueping Prefecture. As for the position of Prefecture Master, they would discuss it further in the future.
This information contained a lot of content. Firstly, the death of the Prefecture Master was insignificant and did not affect anything. Secondly, the Ding family would be in charge of the Yueping House. As for who it was, it would all depend on their own abilities. Thirdly, if the Ding Clan could not take the position of Prefecture Master, then the State of Ao Lai would have to choose another sage.
Therefore, while defending against the invasion of Hsingyi Mansion, the people of Ding Family held a meeting of the entire family, which was to select the Prefecture Master of Shang.
Ding Baozhen sat at one end of the conference table with a gloomy face. Opposite him was First Young Master, Ding Haoyue. The atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
Ding Haoyue's cultivation base was already at the peak of the Soul Formation realm. It would not take long for him to break through to the Soul Formation realm and enter the Void Refinement realm. Moreover, he had the support of Second Younger Brother, Ding Zhiwei, and Ding Yingjie. He was the most popular candidate to become the House Master.
The other popular candidate was Ding Baozhen.
There were a total of seven Void Refinement Cultivator in the Yueping Prefecture. However, only Ding Baozhen and another cultivator of the Ding Family, Void Refinement Cultivator, were qualified to compete for the position of Prefecture Master.
