In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Shi Xiao looked at it for a long time and realized that he really couldn't see Lu Yuan's true state now, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Brother Feng, please come with me."

When the two arrived at the city lord's hall, a high-level demon with two golden horns on his forehead was already waiting.

Lu Yuan took a quick glance and found that this guy was indeed in the early stage of a divine general as Shi Xiao said, so he should not be able to tell his true state.

"It's you, Fellow Daoist Jin, who's here. It's been a long time since I've seen you. This is Fellow Daoist Feng, who will take over my position as city lord." Shi Xiao seemed to recognize the person. He took the lead in clasping his fists and pointing at Lu Yuan to introduce him.

"Brother Shi, you're welcome. We originally arranged for Brother Wu to come, but he had something to do, so he asked me to make this trip."

"This Taoist friend's surname is Feng, right? Please tell me the specific name and which clan he comes from." The Golden Horned Demon Clan said with a calm expression.

Even though Lu Yuan and Shi Xiao were in a smaller realm than him, as the envoy of Huanyue's main city, he would naturally not be polite to them.

"Feng Xi, born in the Qingyi tribe." Lu Yuan spread his cyan wings behind his back.

Before coming here, Lu Yuan and Shi Xiao had already made up false identities.

"The Green Wing Clan has thirty-two branches. I wonder which one Feng Daoyou belongs to?" The Golden Horned Demon Clan didn't seem to be easily fooled and continued to ask.

"My fellow Taoist Jin, the Qingyi clan is the Qingyi clan, which branch do you care about?" Before Lu Yuan could speak, Shi Xiao took the question.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, according to the rules, any city lord must find out his identity." The Golden Horned Demon Clan acted impartially.

"If you are going to say that, Fellow Daoist Jinjiao, even if Fellow Daoist Feng tells you, wouldn't it still take a year and a half to investigate? The Shi Lun trial in our clan is about to begin, and we can't afford to delay it.

Don’t forget, there are two seniors in our Stone Demon clan who serve the Holy Ancestor Yuancha all year round. If I ask them to intercede, can’t I leave at any time?

When that time comes, where will you find someone to take over the position of the Lord of this mountain city? If we can't find it within a short period of time, why don't we let you stewards draw lots in the end? Shi Xiao said as he handed over a storage bag he had prepared in advance.

"What Fellow Daoist Shi said makes sense." The Golden-Horned Demon Clan secretly explored the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness, and his tone softened.

Then he put away the storage bag, and with a flash of light in his hand, a palm-sized triangular token appeared. Then a black light flashed on his fingertips, and he chanted and engraved it in his mouth.

"Feng Xi, who is in the middle stage of cultivation as a divine general, is from the Qingyi Clan..." After finishing the inscription, the Golden Horned Demon Clan glanced at Lu Yuan again.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, please release some of your soul."

"Why is this?" Lu Yuan became confused.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, I am making a natal soul card for you. If something unexpected happens to you in the future, the main city of Huanyue will know immediately and send Senior Demon Lord to rescue you in time." Shi Xiao hurriedly explained.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment. It was just a ray of spirit, so there was nothing to worry about. In the end, he could only do it.

"About your responsibilities as the city lord of Wuyue Mountain City, Fellow Daoist Shi should have already told Fellow Daoist Feng." The Golden Horned Demon Clan asked again after making the natal soul card for Lu Yuan.

"A certain amount of ore is handed over to the main city of Huanyue every year, and the other thing is to monitor the low-level monsters in the Two Realms Mountains."

"Very good, then from now on, fellow Taoist Feng Xi will be the city lord of Wuyue Mountain City. If there is a large beast tide, fellow daoist can work together with the owners of several nearby mountain cities to solve it. If it really can't be solved, he can report it to Lord Huanyue in time. The city asks for help.”

The Golden Horned Demon Clan nodded with satisfaction, then shook the natal soul card in his hand, with a cold look in his eyes, and said with a slight threat: "Another point, since I have become the lord of the mountain city, if no one else comes If I replace you, I will have to stay here forever. If you leave without saying goodbye, we will have a way to find you."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan's expression immediately changed and he looked at Shi Xiao with a sullen expression. It turns out that making the natal soul card also means to prevent yourself from slipping away quietly.

Regarding this, Shi Xiao never told himself.

"Hey, I'm going back first, you can take care of the rest by yourselves." Naturally, the Golden-Horned Demon Clan noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, hey, hey, he turned around and left.

"I'll see off fellow Taoist Jin first." Shi Xiao followed out with a guilty look on his face.

Lu Yuan looked coldly at the backs of Shi Xiao and the two men as they left, secretly thinking to himself that he would have to fight with Shi Xiao later.

However, Shi Xiao didn't come back for most of the day. Lu Yuan felt something was wrong and immediately opened the protective formation in the city lord's hall that was responsible for controlling the entire Wuyue Mountain City.

Just as Lu Yuan flew out of the hall, several balls of demonic energy rushed over quickly.

"Lord City Lord, what happened? Why are all the protective formations in the mountain city turned on?" The demonic energy dissipated, and several demons who were in the realm of demon guards appeared, asking with confusion.

These people are all stewards in charge of some matters in the mountain city, because those pure ancient demons will not waste their time on such complicated and trivial matters. Therefore, most of the management in the mountain city are held by these demons.

Of course, these stewards can only manage the residents who are also demons. Once you encounter a purebred demon, you will often be defeated.

And during the handover with Shi Xiao in the past few days, they had already known that Lu Yuan had taken over Shi Xiao's position as city lord.

"Is that bastard Shi Xiao still in the mountain city?" Lu Yuan asked with an angry look on his face.

"Senior Shi has left, and has taken away all his Stone Demon clansmen. He also said that he will not come back again, so that City Lord, you don't have to wait for him anymore." A demon steward replied carefully.

"Damn, that's not good!" Lu Yuan's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Go to the warehouse in the city and take a look!"

......

"City, City Lord, in two or two months it will be time to hand over the ore to the main city..." A demon guard looked at the empty warehouse and his voice was as low as a mosquito humming.

"How much can you pick in two months?" Lu Yuan asked with suppressed anger.

"Well, normally it's only 20% of the amount turned in, right? And with the beast wave that just broke out, the mining efficiency of the mineral veins in our hands is definitely not as good as before. It's a good achievement to achieve something."

"Can you tell Huanyue Main City that you owe me first?"

"No. But there is no need to be impatient, City Lord. If you cannot hand it in on time, a Demon Lord from the main city will come to ask for the reason. You can explain the matter at that time."

"What's there to say? Will they believe me if I'm tricked? Is there any other way?" Lu Yuan naturally would not go to meet the Demon Lord.

"Another way is to borrow some from other nearby mountain towns."

"Okay, I'll leave for a while first. During this period, we'll tell you what you did before and what you still do now. Wait until I come back!"
