Chapter 186 Nighttime Slaughter

"Report!"

With that panicked cry, Ling Sheng was like a startled hare.

With undisguised fear on his face, he stumbled and fell before Zhu Xian's magnificent palace.

At this moment, Zhu Xian, who had fallen asleep under the gentle care of the two beautiful ladies Qing and Yu, was instantly awakened by the sudden shout.

The my uncle had been overwhelmed with all sorts of things lately, and now that he had finally fallen asleep, he was woken up as if on cue.

A nameless fire ignited in Zhu Xian's heart, and he roared, "Who's shouting outside? Get your ass in here right now!"

Upon hearing Zhu Xian's angry roar, the two delicate and charming women hurriedly and frantically helped Zhu Xian get dressed and stand up.

After a hurried tidying up, the servants at the palace gate cautiously led Ling Sheng, whose weapons had already been removed, slowly into the room.

The moment Ling Sheng stepped into the palace, he knelt down again, as if a drowning person had grasped at the last straw.

After bowing, he hurriedly crawled to Zhu Xian's side and eagerly reported to Zhu Xian, who was sitting upright on the bed: "My lord, something terrible has happened!"

For reasons unknown, tens of thousands of compatriots from various cities are continuously gathering at the city gates.

They continued to shout various radical slogans and were trying to force their way through the city gates.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, I have come to report.

We humbly request Your Lordship's judgment!

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Xian's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and two sharp, cold beams shot out from them.

He knew this was the mastermind behind it all, and finally couldn't hold back any longer.

That's really poisonous!

Using the suspicion and anger of the common wild beasts of the entire Wild Mouth Ridge to deal with him was to strike at his Achilles' heel.

The anger of the crowd has been ignited, and if it is allowed to develop further...

It's only a matter of time before the city gates of Zhuguo City are breached. When that happens, who knows what the rage-driven crowd will do.

It is foreseeable that the entire main hall, which symbolizes Noguchi Pass, and even the entire Zhuguo City, will cease to exist.

Zhu Xian will naturally be unharmed, but with the destruction of the Zhu Guo Palace, which symbolizes the supreme authority of the lord, he will no longer be able to remain in the position of lord, no matter how strong he is.

However, if an order is given to suppress the rebellion, countless people will die!

Although in the short term, people will be deterred by this bloody suppression.

However, the anger in everyone's hearts was not vented, but was temporarily suppressed.

Even the slightest spark could trigger terrifying consequences.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the next major outburst will come soon, as the public's anger has already been ignited.

Therefore, even if Zhu Xian knew that all of this was being manipulated in secret, he could only watch helplessly!

Public anger is not to be defied, and the will of the people cannot be ignored!

This was the plan devised by Kuang Zheng and the other two: to dismantle Zhu Xian's power from within, and even to eliminate Zhu Xian by exploiting the internal conflicts within Yekou Ridge.

Of course, it would be impossible to eliminate Zhu Xian, who possesses the strength of a sixth-level cultivator, using only all the wild beasts of Yekou Ridge.

But if we could remove him from his position as lord, that would be a great victory.

Kuang Zheng originally thought that achieving this goal was almost impossible, since Zhu Xian had been the lord of Noguchi Ridge for nearly three hundred years.

Over such a long period of time, even a pig would have mastered the internal operations.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xian did not follow the usual path; instead of choosing to share the profits, he chose to exploit people to the extreme.

Under his harsh rule, all the wild beasts of Noguchi Ridge lived in dire straits.

This undoubtedly gave Zheng Zheng a tremendous opportunity, which is why this frenzy of wild beasts occurred!

Just as he had expected, Zhu Xian was indeed in a state of panic.

Yet his face still showed no sign of panic; only his illogical words betrayed him.

He suddenly stood up, his clenched fists trembling slightly with extreme anger.

He roared through gritted teeth, "These audacious madmen! How dare they act so recklessly! Do they really think I, Zhu Xian, am afraid of them? Could it be that they want to rebel?"

Ling Sheng's body trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with obvious fear as he stammered, "This...this subordinate really doesn't know what happened!"

About fifteen minutes ago, a large number of flames suddenly appeared on the central street of the main gate.

At first, I thought it was a small gathering of some people, but unexpectedly, countless lights and flames suddenly appeared from all directions in a very short time.

Even the wild beasts living nearby were all holding torches high, aggressively approaching the city gate.

My subordinates then realized something was wrong, and therefore ordered their men to guard the city gates closely and be on high alert with their weapons at the ready!

At this point, he paused slightly, raised his head, and cautiously glanced at Zhu Xian's face, wanting to observe the official's expression and reaction.

However, Zhu Xian only gave him a meaningful look and then made no further comment.

So he quickly continued, "Those people who were almost at the city gate were still shouting loudly... shouting... shouting all sorts of treasonous slogans."

When I ran over to report to you, I could vaguely hear someone shouting that they wanted to break down the city gate!

I know this matter is of utmost importance, and dare not delay in the slightest, so I have come to report to you immediately!

After listening to Ling Sheng's report, Zhu Xian, who had been tense, was no longer flustered.

His eyes, which had been unable to focus, suddenly flashed with an unusual light, but he quickly returned to normal.

He smiled and helped Ling Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet. He said with a smile, "Of all your generations, the ancestor values ​​you the most. And you have not disappointed the ancestor's expectations. You are a good child, very good."

This sudden praise left Ling Sheng bewildered. He thought to himself, "The city gates are in imminent danger. Is it really appropriate to praise a junior at this time?"

But faced with the praise from his god-like lord, Ling Sheng was still too excited to contain himself: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"

Zhu Xian laughed and said, "Good, very good! A capable young man like you should take on more responsibility. So the ancestor has decided that from today, no, from this moment on, the entire Zhu Guocheng's defenses will be under your command. From now on, you will be the highest-ranking officer in charge of all the city's guards."

This sudden appointment also stunned Ling Sheng, who found it somewhat strange.

However, the joy of rising to a high position instantly swept away all the doubts in his heart.

It should be noted that the commander of the guards in the entire Zhu Guo City is a high-ranking official second only to the lord and the seven elders, and Zhu Xian himself has always held this important position concurrently.

But now it has been given to him, and this honor and power is enough to make him forget all his doubts.
