Wu Shattered Star River

“Whoa~”

The entire city erupted in excitement. Even without the Heavenly Elephant King's confirmation, every martial artist in the city knew that Ghost City had been refined.

The palaces and houses throughout the city lit up. What else could this be if not refinement?

King Qin Guang and King Bei Shang immediately turned their gaze towards the Heavenly Elephant King, who closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "A new city lord has been born!"

“Good!”

Sun Dongzhen and several other Dao Harmonization experts' eyes lit up, their faces showing joy. Most of the Ghost City's Dao Harmonization experts felt relieved, while only a few looked somewhat gloomy.

For most Dao Harmonization experts, joining the Peace Alliance was far better than joining the Supreme Alliance.

They were inherently free-spirited martial artists who enjoyed freedom and naturally disliked being restrained and controlled.

If they joined the Peace Alliance, given the Spirit Race's nature, they wouldn't be asked to do this or that without a good reason. Moreover, because of Jiang Han, the Yan Race and the Human Race wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for them.

Although Jiang Han hadn't yet reached Dao Harmonization, in the hearts of many Dao Harmonization experts, he was actually the most suitable city lord.

A group of Dao Harmonization experts stood neatly in front of the City Lord's Mansion, their expressions becoming solemn as they waited quietly.

“My husband is so strong!”

Yan Liuqing couldn't suppress the excitement on her face, her very bones seemed to be swaying with a captivating charm and watery eyes that stirred the hearts of many old fellows.

“This kid has actually succeeded…”

King Bei Shang sighed, transmitting his voice to King Qin Guang, saying, "So many Dao Harmonization experts couldn't refine it, but this kid is just like his father, a remarkable person."

“Actually!”

King Qin Guang pondered for a moment, then transmitted his voice, "I suspect Jiang Henshui left behind a contingency plan; otherwise, Bu Shi wouldn't have been waiting for Jiang Han in front of the City Lord's Mansion all those years ago."

“Regardless, Jiang Han has made a great contribution this time. The super treasure that is Ghost City can play a significant role during the great war.”

The entire city was waiting anxiously for Jiang Han to emerge from the City Lord's Mansion.

A full half hour passed before the gates of the City Lord's Mansion slowly opened, and then Jiang Han walked out, holding the Ghost King Stone.

“Swish, swish, swish!”

The moment the Dao Harmonization experts saw the Ghost King Stone, they all knelt down on one knee in unison. The Heavenly Elephant King took the lead and shouted solemnly, "Greetings, City Lord!"

“Greetings, City Lord!”

Sun Dongzhen and the group of Dao Harmonization experts followed suit, shouting loudly. Then, the army within the city knelt down on one knee.

Finally, all the martial artists within the city knelt down, roaring together, "Greetings, City Lord!"

Jiang Han exchanged a glance with King Qin Guang and King Bei Shang. He then focused his gaze on the Heavenly Elephant King and other experts, saying, "Please rise, everyone. Ghost City is a city of freedom, without so many rules. All of you are top experts of this era, seniors of mine. In the future, there's no need to perform any ceremony upon seeing me."

The Heavenly Elephant King and the others stood up, faint smiles appearing on their faces.

Jiang Han's words made them feel very comfortable. They were all a bunch of old men who had reached Dao Harmonization many years ago. It would be embarrassing for them to constantly bow to Jiang Han, a young man who had just entered Dao Harmonization.

“Everyone, let's enter the City Lord's Mansion for a discussion!”

Jiang Han extended his hand in invitation. The Heavenly Elephant King nodded slightly, saying to King Qin Guang, "King Qin Guang, King Bei Shang, please!"

Now that the city lord had been born, it was time to discuss the alliance matters. With Jiang Han as the city lord, there was no choice but to join the Peace Alliance.

A group of experts entered the City Lord's Mansion. The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was filled with many night-luminescent pearls, making it magnificent and beautifully decorated.

Jiang Han naturally took the main seat, while Yan Liuqing didn't sit, standing behind him.

Here, Jiang Han wasn't a King-level expert of the Human Race; he represented Ghost City. If King Qin Guang were to sit in the main seat, how would the Heavenly Elephant King and the others feel?

King Qin Guang sat in the first seat on the left, King Bei Shang sat in the second, while the Heavenly Elephant King sat in the first seat on the right, and the remaining Dao Harmonization experts took their seats one by one.

Jiang Han looked towards the Heavenly Elephant King, who understood his intention and stood up, saying, "Everyone, now that the new city lord has been born, according to our previous agreement, I propose that Ghost City officially join the Peace Alliance from today onwards!"

Sun Dongzhen was the first to stand up and echo, "Seconded!"

“Seconded!”

“I agree!”

“Acceptable!”

One after another, Dao Harmonization experts stood up to second the Heavenly Elephant King's words. Soon, sixteen out of the nineteen Dao Harmonization experts expressed their agreement.

However, the remaining three hesitated. The Ant Race's Dao Harmonization expert turned his gaze to King Qin Guang and asked, "King Qin Guang, if we join the Peace Alliance, you won't send us to fight at every turn, will you? We don't want to become cannon fodder."

King Qin Guang's expression was serious. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since we've joined the alliance, we must obey the alliance's commands. If everyone acts on their own, what's the point of the alliance?"

“Obey the alliance's commands?”

The Ant Race's Dao Harmonization expert asked, "Who gives the alliance's commands? Is it the Spirit Race's Clan King, the Yan Race's Clan King, or you, King Qin Guang?"

King Qin Guang replied, "The alliance's current highest decision-making body is composed of representatives from the four races: the Spirit Race, the Yan Race, the Human Race, and the Thunder Race. We need a majority vote to make any decisions."

“That won't do!”

A Lizard Race Dao Harmonization expert said, "If Ghost City joins, we must also enter the decision-making body. We have a new city lord, and City Lord Jiang must enter the decision-making body."

“That's right!”

The Ant Race's Dao Harmonization expert said, "If City Lord Jiang doesn't enter the decision-making body, Ghost City won't join the Peace Alliance."

Ghost City joining the Peace Alliance was already a foregone conclusion. The group of Dao Harmonization experts' vehement opposition was naturally to fight for some say and avoid becoming cannon fodder.

King Qin Guang hesitated, seemingly in a difficult position.

Jiang Han sat above without saying a word, knowing that King Qin Guang was putting on an act to help him establish authority.

He didn't really value the position of city lord or power and status.

He thought for a moment and said, "King Qin Guang, how about letting the Heavenly Elephant King represent Ghost City in the decision-making body?"

“Uh…”

The group of Dao Harmonization experts were stunned. Jiang Han was the city lord, so even if Ghost City entered the decision-making body, it should be him going, right? He was actually letting the Heavenly Elephant King go?

The Heavenly Elephant King quickly stood up, bowing to Jiang Han and saying, "City Lord, absolutely not. You are the city lord and should represent Ghost City. This old one will follow your orders in everything."

“No!”

Jiang Han stood up, looked around, and said, "I know that all of you seniors love freedom and dislike being restrained. I understand your concerns. Having the Heavenly Elephant King represent Ghost City in the decision-making body will ensure that everyone won't receive unfair treatment."

“Moreover, the Heavenly Elephant King is powerful and knowledgeable. Such a great figure should make decisions for the alliance. I'm young and weak in combat; what decisions can I make? The Heavenly Elephant King's decisions are my decisions! Everyone, my mind is made up; say no more!”

The group of Dao Harmonization experts exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay.

Jiang Han was taking the initiative to give up power, making the Heavenly Elephant King the acting city lord, exercising the city lord's authority.

“City Lord!”

The Heavenly Elephant King declined again, bowing and saying, "The rules of Ghost City throughout the ages have been that the city lord decides everything. How can this old one overstep his bounds? This is absolutely impossible."

“That's right!”

“City Lord is a young hero, the number one of the younger generation. Moreover, although City Lord hasn't reached Dao Harmonization, he has killed so many Dao Harmonization experts. Who dares to say that City Lord is weak in combat?”

“I support City Lord joining the decision-making body. Just discuss things with the Heavenly Elephant King more often.”

Several Dao Harmonization experts stood up to persuade him, and their gazes towards Jiang Han became more agreeable.

After all, a city lord who cared about them was a good city lord and worthy of trust.

King Qin Guang and King Bei Shang exchanged a glance, both unable to help but cheer for Jiang Han in their hearts. King Bei Shang transmitted his voice, "Jiang Han's move of retreating to advance is brilliant, instantly winning over the hearts of many Dao Harmonization experts."

“You're wrong!”

King Qin Guang transmitted his voice, "Jiang Han is sincere. He's used to being a hands-off manager and doesn't want to be involved in management."

“With Ghost City in his hands, he can suppress the entire city. This group of Dao Harmonization experts can't cause any trouble unless they betray Ghost City; otherwise, they can only obey his orders."

“He's pushing the Heavenly Elephant King forward because he doesn't want to be involved in too many trivial matters. With me, Yan Qin, and the Heavenly Elephant King in the decision-making body, how could we harm him? It's the same whether he's there or not…”
