Taihuang Star Seal

"The city lord has arrived!"

At the same time as the shouting sounded.

A stately and magnificent carriage, pulled by two horses that were much taller than ordinary horses, drove steadily into the mine.

Whether it is the steep slope when entering the pit or the potholes along the way.

For this carriage, everything is as easy as walking on flat ground!

Those young people who came to watch the mining competition for the first time and gain knowledge could not help but sigh when they saw this -

"Those two divine horses with purple manes, blood-red hooves, and lilac scales on their calves and necks, should be the legendary 'purple-maned blood-hoofed horses', right?"

"It is said that this horse is a 'beginning-level demon beast'."

"In addition to being able to travel three to four thousand miles a day, he also possesses terrifying combat power that can suppress a pack of wolves and tigers!"

"You are worthy of being the city lord. With just one move, you can use two purple-maned, blood-hoofed horses to pull the carriage..."

There are generally two types of monsters.

The first type is some ordinary wild beasts that accidentally eat spiritual herbs and flowers, or absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a long time, and their bloodlines mutate, their strength increases greatly, and then they evolve into "monster" beasts.

The second type is those who are born with the body of a monster. As they grow older, the degree of their blood awakening becomes higher and higher, and their cultivation becomes stronger and stronger.

No matter which situation it is, as long as it has awakened into a "demon", its strength should not be underestimated!

Even a "beginner-level demon beast" that has just entered the realm of martial arts has a combat power equivalent to that of a human warrior at the second or third level of the Awakening Veins Realm.

Warriors at the second and third levels of the Awakening Veins Realm can be considered first-rate masters in the entire Tieyan City!

In the world of monsters, the primary monsters are at the bottom of the food chain...

Some powerful monsters can spit out flames from their mouths and create wind blades with their claws. They are extremely powerful!

For a long time, the killing between humans and monsters has never stopped.

The flesh and blood of human warriors is an extremely delicious tonic for monsters.

The crystal cores, bones and blood of monsters are also indispensable materials for humans to forge weapons and make talismans.

Therefore, the "love and hate" between humans and demons has been repeating itself for countless years.

During this period, some monsters were more friendly to humans or were domesticated by humans and became mounts, war pets, etc.

This purple-maned, blood-hoofed horse is one of the more representative monsters among them.

In Tieyan City, only a few forces at the top of the pyramid, such as the City Lord's Mansion and Lingdan Tower, can rely on their amazing financial resources to raise monster mounts...

at this time.

The groom who was riding the two purple-maned, blood-hoofed horses was a sturdy man armed to the teeth with heavy armor.

He exuded an extremely solemn and cold aura.

With every move he made, he deliberately exuded the aura of the "Seventh Level of Awakening Meridians Realm", which made the three major families awed!

You know, the patriarchs of the three major families have only reached the sixth level of the Awakening Veins Realm.

"Did you see that? The driver is no ordinary person. He is Xiao Da, one of the three great ministers of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Rumor has it that he was once a veteran general in the army, but he made a serious mistake and was demoted to slavery. After many twists and turns, he was finally accepted as a retainer by the city lord."

"He was once a veteran in the army? No wonder."

"The murderous aura he carries with him, having waded through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield, is truly extraordinary!"

"However, how can such a powerful person be willing to be driven by others?"

"That's because Xiao Da has not escaped from slavery since he was convicted, so it's not easy for him to act like a 'superior'."

"Therefore, whenever he appeared in public, he was either driving a car or leading a horse."

"But I heard that he has a very high status behind the scenes, otherwise how could he become one of the 'three great ministers'?"

"I see……"

As they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the center of the field and stopped.

Xiao Da jumped off the carriage expressionlessly, put the footstool in proper place, and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

Seeing this, those guys who were eager to flatter the emperor hurriedly shouted, "Welcome, Lord City Lord!"

Available in the next second.

The person who walked out of the sedan chair was a young man in his early twenties.

His face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked like he had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

"what?"

"Why, why isn't it City Lord Xiao?"

"This is the city lord's second son: Xiao Jianyi."

"I have met him several times."

"Haha, you seem surprised to see that it's me?

Xiao Jianyi, who was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, raised the corner of his mouth, "Why? You don't welcome me?"

"How dare you!"

"It's just that in the past, the 'Mineral Competition' was always hosted by the city lord himself."

"Your Excellency has come to visit us, but we just didn't react at the moment!"

"Hahahaha, that's good!"

Xiao Jianyi laughed and said, "My father has important matters to attend to and cannot be away."

"He asked me to judge today's 'Mineral Competition' on his behalf."

"I see."

Some of the people present suddenly realized.

Some people also felt relieved the moment they saw Xiao Jianyi walk out of the carriage.

There is an added confidence in his expression that he is determined to win!

These people include Lu Xingwu, the head of the Lu family, Zhou Longhai, the head of the Zhou family, and...

The Luo family’s great elder: Luo Yangjie!

They seemed to have known from the beginning that the adjudicator of this "Mining Competition" would be changed from the previous city lord to the second son of the city lord's mansion: Xiao Jianyi.

The extremely subtle abnormal changes in their expressions could be hidden from others, but could not escape Ding Chen's perception!

The young man couldn't help but feel a little moved: "I'm afraid there is something fishy going on here."

At this time.

Xiao Jianyi walked with an arrogant step, showing that he didn't care about his relatives, and went straight to the Luo family's area.

Upon seeing this, the people from the Great Elder's faction all wisely made way for him after paying their respects to the other party.

Because they knew very well who the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion was looking for!

Xiao Jianyi walked up to Luo Qinru and stood in front of her.

His eyes were filled with naked desire: "Luo Qinru, you know very well how I feel about you."

"If you agree to be my woman now, I promise to give you a big surprise!"

"But if you still insist on not changing your ways and would rather marry that loser Ding Chen than accept my feelings..."

Xiao Jianyi's fake smile suddenly turned gloomy: "Then I can also guarantee that what awaits you and your daughter today will be a disaster!"

Upon hearing this.

The patriarchs of the Zhou and Lu families, as well as the great elder Luo Haoyuan, all changed their expressions at the same time!

"He had clearly accepted the benefits and had already made arrangements."

"How come from what Xiao Jianyi said, as long as Luo Qinru is willing to give herself to him, our original agreement will change?!"

"That won't do!"

So, the elder hurriedly flattered, "Well, Second Young Master, you..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear you talk now!"

Xiao Jianyi shouted mercilessly and coldly, causing Luo Yangjie's old face to turn blue and red.

But he just didn't dare to get angry.

After all, the person in front of him is the biological son of the Lord of Tieyan City.

According to the system of Daqian Kingdom, the lord of a city is often equivalent to a local emperor, with enormous power in the local area!

The city lord can decide the life and death of the people in the city just by speaking!

Even a first-rate expert like the Great Elder, who is at the sixth level of the Awakening Veins Realm.

In front of the city lord, he can only be defeated by his arms...

Therefore, he knew very well that Xiao Jianyi had the capital to be arrogant and the qualifications to go back on his word!

Be it the Great Elder Luo Yangjie, or the patriarchs of the Lu and Zhou families, they really can't do anything to him.

At this moment, the second son of the City Lord's Mansion, with a pale face, dark circles under his eyes, and a look as if his body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, was staring straight at Luo Qinru.

That look was as if he wanted to eat this extremely beautiful girl alive!
