CHAPTER 165: CHAPTER 159 IS THE MIND TOO FRAGILE?

Lu Zhuoyan saw Lin Bai’s private message, raised an eyebrow nonchalantly: "Keep it low-key, low-key."

His little Nian is just playing second fiddle, after all. Nothing to be shocked about.

This Lin Bai, obviously hasn’t seen much of the world.

Given Shi Nian’s combat strength, plus her perfect simulation of Demonic Qi, Lu Zhuoyan even thinks that one day she could probably pass herself off as a Demon Lord.

By then.

Out of the nine great Demon Lords of the Demon Clan, one would actually be disguised as a human.

Wouldn’t that be interesting?

Lu Zhuoyan now thinks.

The schemes he had engaged in before were child’s play.

Look at Shi Nian!

As a cultivator, she went straight into the Demon Clan to make a career!

Lin Bai: "...I just want to ask you one question, and you need to answer honestly!"

Originally.

Lin Bai inclined to chat more with Shi Nian.

Because he knows that Lu Zhuoyan, ten sentences out of his mouth might not contain a single truth.

But after chatting with Shi Nian for a while.

He feels.

He might as well talk to Lu Zhuoyan.

At least.

There are one or two truths in ten sentences.

Lu Zhuoyan: "Ask away."

He and Lin Bai can also be considered old acquaintances.

After Lin Bai’s wife met a tragic death, he became reckless and flirted around for a while. At that time, Lu Zhuoyan was often on the run, being chased by a bunch of people, and Lin Bai happened to save him.

After that, the two of them traveled together for a while and shared life and death experiences.

Considering their past relationship, out of ten sentences, he’ll offer half a truth.

Lin Bai: "Between Shi Nian and the Demon Clan Saintess, who is more powerful?"

Lu Zhuoyan narrowed his eyes: "Of course, it’s my little disciple nephew."

The Demon Clan Saintess has not yet reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and even with a Holy Artifact, she is at most at the level of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

But in Lu Zhuoyan’s view, Shi Nian’s strength is probably even higher than the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Lin Bai: "You answered so quickly, are you lying to me!!"

Lu Zhuoyan raised an eyebrow.

He rarely tells the truth, and now no one believes him.

He is very composed: "Believe it or not."

Lin Bai stared at these four characters for a while.

How should I put it.

He is pondering one thing.

It’s just a chat; why did I run out of words with Shi Nian and now continue to be speechless here?

What in the world is up with this uncle and niece! Are they the bane of Lin Bai?

Lin Bai took a deep breath: "The Immortal Demon Battlefield may reopen, limiting entry to young talents under a hundred years old. The Demon Clan will definitely send an elite team led by the Demon Clan Saintess. Shi Nian told me she wants to go alone, and then take on a hundred of them. What’s your take on this."

This matter is no trivial thing.

Lu Zhuoyan can’t still be joking at this time.

This is about Shi Nian’s life!

"Going alone?" Lu Zhuoyan was somewhat shocked: "That’s not okay."

Lin Bai felt a sense of relief at this.

Thank goodness, not too outrageous.

Shi Nian’s strength shouldn’t be that exaggerated.

Lu Zhuoyan immediately followed up, saying: "I suggest letting me go in too. I’ve prepared barbecue seasonings and a grill so that I won’t starve my nephew by apprenticeship."

Lin Bai: "???"

Lu Zhuoyan patiently waited for Lin Bai’s reply.

A while later.

Lin Bai actually went offline.

Lu Zhuoyan raised an eyebrow.

What’s going on.

Did he say anything?

This number one person in the Cultivation World, could it be his psyche is a bit too fragile?

In the following days.

Shi Nian pretended to go into seclusion for a few days.

Right after she emerged from seclusion, the City Lord Ling Guang promptly arrived.

He looked at Shi Nian with a smile on his face: "Great Commander Mo Yin, originally, I shouldn’t have disturbed you so soon after your demon form had just matured. However, I truly have an urgent matter here."

Shi Nian was very polite: "City Lord, please speak."

City Lord Ling Guang then repeated everything about the ranking battle, and he promised: "As long as you can help me secure a top three ranking, whatever your request, as long as it’s within my abilities, feel free to ask."

Shi Nian had long known about this ranking battle of the City Lord; in fact, it was precisely what she had come for.

She agreed straight away: "The City Lord has shown me great kindness and opportunity, for this matter, Mo Yin cannot shirk the responsibility."

City Lord Ling Guang could not help but beam even brighter: "Great Commander Mo Yin truly is straightforward! If you have any demands in the future, just make them known. As the City Lord, I do have some status and connections, I can help with most matters."

Shi Nian smiled slightly, "I do have one request. City Lord Ling Guang, the low-ranking Demon Clan tribe I was a part of was exterminated by other tribes in a conflict. At that time, I was not strong and was also taking care of two younger sisters, barely managing to escape."

"You want revenge?" City Lord Ling Guang thought he understood.

"Revenge is one aspect," Shi Nian said, "On the other hand, having wandered for years, I really want to find a place to settle down. Now that our Demon Clan has occupied the vast Ling Country, I hope that the City Lord can support me in running for City Lord."

City Lord Ling Guang’s eyes flickered slightly.

This Mo Yin, she actually wants to be a City Lord!

That’s quite ambitious.

He also knew why Mo Yin came to him for help.

Because without a certain status and background, one cannot become a City Lord; mere strength is not enough.

"If the City Lord agrees, I will ensure you attain the first rank," Shi Nian declared.

If ranked first, one can choose the most prosperous city.

City Lord Ling Guang was somewhat intrigued.

After a while, he gritted his teeth: "Fine, if you can help me secure first place, I will get my family to arrange a spot for you in the election! After the ranking battle, the last fifty spots will be reshuffled, and then you may challenge any of the City Lords. If you succeed in the challenge, you can become the Lord of a city."

Shi Nian’s smile was faint: "Then it’s a deal."

City Lord Ling Guang nodded: "It’s a deal. However, you are my Great Commander and there are certain things I should remind you of. These City Lords all have clans backing them; if you take their position, you might offend their entire clan. Then defending that city might not be easy."

Shi Nian was very indifferent: "I am no longer the pitiful demon that fled in a sorry state back then. If they want to trouble me, let them come. One comes, one dies; a group comes, they all die."

There was a murderous aura in Shi Nian’s words.

City Lord Ling Guang chuckled, no longer advising her: "Such a formidable spirit. Rest assured, when the time comes, I shall also lend you a hand. My ancestor’s ancestor’s ancestor was the Abyss Demon Venerable! With me here, they will not dare to make things too difficult for you."

City Lord Ling Guang, at this moment, had the intention of allying with Shi Nian.

"Thank you, City Lord." Shi Nian also obliged.

After a secret discussion, City Lord Ling Guang left feeling thoroughly satisfied.

Shi Nian stroked her chin.

In her mind, she said.

"Xiao Tong. Have Yin Yu and that Demon Clan Saintess arrived yet?"

Xiao Tong indicated: "They are already in the city."

Shi Nian narrowed her eyes.

Then according to the plot, the Demon Clan Saintess should soon seek out City Lord Ling Guang.

This time, the reason she chose Mei City as the first stop was to wait for the Demon Clan Saintess here!

Now, the wait is finally over.
