“How is it possible? How can the City Lord lose her strength? She is an ace of the Spirit Devour Realm. Is there anyone who can seriously wound her and cause her to lose her strength?”
“But the City Lord has just been forced back by Hua Musheng’s True Energy beam. That attack was obviously a fuke, and she did not fully utilize her strength.”
The people from the Liu Faction were all in shock. Cai Ling’s strength was clearly gone. Otherwise, she would have taken out Hua Musheng immediately.
“Cai Ling, did you really lose your strength?” Liu Qingsheng asked in disbelief.
“Yes, I have lost my strength and now I am only at the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. But that does not mean there is any possibility that she can take the position of the City Lord for herself,” Cai Ling said faintly.
“Definitely. Even though the City Lord has lost her strength, she is and will forever be our City Lord. We will fully support Cai Ling and fight anybody who dares to challenge her.”
“Fight them!” The whole Liu faction agreed.
Hua Musheng sneered and said, “Fight with me? Even though Liu Qingsheng was at the Heaven’s Strength Realm like me, she cannot match me in a real fight. You all better surrender as soon as possible and join the Hua faction.”
Everybody here knew Hua Musheng was much stronger than Liu Qingsheng!
“Huh! Nobody can be sure who will win in a real fight!” Liu Qingsheng replied. She had not lost her nerve.
“All of you are making a laughing stock of yourselves by having a blood bath merely for the position of the City Lord.” Carrying his Formation Breaking Spear on his back and putting his hands on the back of his head, Ye Mo walked forward and said.
“Who is this man daring to interfere with the matter of City of Daughters?” Hua Musheng asked.
“If I were a City Lord of another city and knew your City Lord lost her strength, I would lead my massive army to conquer City of Daughters while you are having your little power struggle.” Ye Mo smiled..
The Tianwu Kingdom never prohibited its cities from fighting with each other. Only through following the rule of the survival of the fittest could Tianwu Kingdom become stronger and stronger.
“Punk, who the hell are you? Are you a spy sent by another city? Let’s see if you will continue bothering us after I take you down,” Hua Musheng said, and then waved her two hands to shoot out a ray of True Energy Beam, directly penetrating Ye Mo’s body. But his body instantly turned into shadow. Ye Mo then reappeared among the Liu faction.
The Crossfading Technique!
Ye Mo knew Hua Musheng would attack him and had prepared to avoid her attack earlier on. Ye Mo dodged her attack in a split second.
If Hua Musheng had been serious, Ye Mo would not have been able dodge to her attack even after perfecting Crossfading Technique.
“What?” Witnessing Ye Mo dodging her attack, Hua Musheng could not help but be surprised. Even a martial artist of the Energy Shaping First Realm should not be able to dodge her attack.
“Hua Musheng, an martial artist of the Heaven’s Strength Realm should behave like a decent person. Attacking a martial artist of the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm is not proper behavior for you,” Liu Qingsheng said.
An true martial artist should have the pride of a martial artist, so he should not attack a youngster. They were all seniors and more than 70 years old, so it was not appropriate for them to assault a junior like Ye Mo.
“Hua Musheng, I understand you have had a disagreement with me, but Ye Mo is not wrong. City of Daughters has been an establishment lasting over a hundred years. Many cities around us are waiting for an opportunity to invade City of Daughters, or they may have infiltrated us already. Now that I’ve lost my strength, with your support, City of Daughters can still be well protected. But if both of you become seriously injured after the fight, how can we protect City of Daughters?”
If Hua Musheng attempted to take the position of the City Lord by force, a victory would still cost her most of her Yuanli, rendering her unable to protect the City of Daughters.
“You have lost your strength now. I will never accept you being a City Lord. Only a powerful martial artist can be a City Lord,” Hua Musheng said.
“What do you want then? If the fight continues, both of us will suffer losses,” Liu Qingsheng said.
“We are both old now. The world will soon belong to the new generation. My granddaughter Hua Cuican is 18 years old and has reached the Energy Shaping Second Realm. The Liu faction can send any fighter below 18 years of age to fight with my granddaughter. The winner will own Goddess’ Eternal Spring and become the City Lord of City of Daughters. All of the elders shall support whoever wins,” Hua Musheng suggested
“Hua Musheng, what a fantastic idea!” Liu Qingsheng sarcastically said.
Even though all residents in City of Daughters were women, they could give birth only after drinking the water from the Goddess’ River.
Some important members of the Liu Faction were furious. Hua Cuican was the best among the geniuses in the City of Daughters. She reached the Energy Shaping First Realm at the age of 16 and had recently reached Energy Shaping Second Realm, surpassing all young martial artists in the city.
The intention of Hua Musheng was clear and simple. Through having Hua Cuican become the City Lord, Hua Musheng could be the shadow ruler and control City of Daughters like a City Lord.
“Cai Ling, I make the suggestio for the good of the City of Daughters. It is already time to bring new blood into this city. Hua Cuican has incredible talents and, within several years, her strength will surpass most of us, even you. Under her leadership, City of Daughters will undoubtedly become stronger than ever,” Hua Musheng explained.
“Vow, in the name of the Heavenly Goddess!” Cai Ling ordered.
“Vow for what?” Hua Musheng asked in shock.
“Three days later, the Liu and the Hua faction will each send an fight below the age of 18 for a match. The winner will become the next City Lord, and everyone of us will support the new ruler. Vow in the name of Heavenly Goddess and let the world to be the witness!”
Vow in the name of Heavenly Goddess, which nobody will disobey!
The Goddess’ Eternal Spring is an eye of the Heavenly Goddess, so she could see everything through the spring. Since the people of City of Daughters drank the water from the Goddess’ River, the river water flowed within the veins of everyone of them. If anyone disobeyed the vows, her body would explode from within and she would be imprisoned in hell forever.
“Sure! As Cai Ling has vowed, then all of us shall also vow!”
Everyone in the Hua faction vowed in the name of the Heavenly Goddess while the Liu faction was more hesitant. They had no young martial artist in the faction who could counter Hua Cuican, so making a vow was no different from giving up the position of the City Lord.
“Make a vow, everyone in the Liu faction. I can assure you nobody in the Hua faction will be the City,” Cai Ling said, then glanced at Ye Mo.
Clearly, Ye Mo just became the only hope of the City of Daughters for Cai Ling.
