The next day, Su Zhen overslept, so he decided not to go out and continued sleeping.
As for Kong Qianyu, she returned to the inner city after dinner. She would start teaching martial arts at the dojo the next Monday.
The inner city was much more prosperous than the outer city. On top of the hundred-meter-tall steel wall, there were many cannons erected to prevent the Monster Race and Demon Race from invading the front line and causing chaos to the human cities.
Kong Qianyu wasn't a famous character in the inner city. It was indeed commendable for a martial artist to become a Martial Master at the age of 25, but it wasn't amazing. Martial Masters at the age of 25 and Martial Masters at the age of 65 were everywhere. Only by breaking through the Grandmaster level could one truly enter the martial arts world.
In the various dojos and martial arts academies, there were many prodigies who could reach the level of a martial master before they were 20. These prodigies were the future of mankind and were highly regarded.
Regarding the prodigies, something big happened yesterday.
Tianji Martial Arts Academy, Lin Qiao, who was about to graduate this year…He was dead.
Lin Qiao was only 19 years old this year, but he was already a mid-level martial master. He wasn't the center of attention, but he was still a figure that was highly regarded.
His death caused quite a stir in Tianji City's martial artist circle.
Around seven o'clock in the evening.
In the mansion hall of the Heaven's Legacy City's City Lord, Li Tiannan, all the higher-ups of the Heaven's Legacy City were gathered.
Li Tiannan was in the lead.
On the lower left sat the Vice City Lord, Gu Qingshu. On the lower right sat the Martial Art Alliance's Heaven's Legacy City Branch Leader, Xue Wei.
Both of them were peak martial grandmasters. Xue Wei could be considered Li Tiannan's elder and was already 75 years old this year.
Other than that, there was also Commander Meng, who was in charge of Tianji City's defense, Zheng Qian, who was in charge of the people's livelihood, Deng Xilin, who was in charge of the city's public security, Wang Yuanjiu, the dean of Tianji Martial Artist Academy, and so on. They were all big shots in Tianji City.
As for the persons-in-charge of private pill companies and weapon companies, they had no right to participate in this City Lord meeting.
Before the meeting even began, everyone's gazes were a little strange.
In front of the main table in Li Tiannan's house, he had previously visited a long sword, but now it had been changed to…A broom.
"What is the City Lord hinting at?"
This subtle change was noticed by the various big shots, and they could not help but feel a little active.
"We can start now."
Seeing that it was about time and the atmosphere was brewing, Li Tiannan spoke in a deep voice.
"Lin Qiao was killed by a demon, so it should be a targeted assassination.”
Wang Yuanjiu, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, was the first to speak.
"Why are we still talking about the cause of death? Isn't the question why a demon could kill a human prodigy in the inner city? And they couldn't find any trace of it after the incident? Brother Deng, this should be your dereliction of duty.”
Commander Meng, who came from the military, immediately questioned Grandmaster Deng Xilin, who was in charge of the city's security.
"It was my fault. I will give you an explanation as soon as possible.”
Deng Xilin did not smile and had a sharp face. Taking the initiative to take responsibility for his dereliction of duty made it difficult for the other big shots to continue.
"This meeting is not to pick on anyone. Since the truth has already happened, no matter how upset you are, it's useless. The most important thing is to make up for the potential loopholes.”
Vice City Lord Gu Qingshu chuckled.
The Martial Art Alliance's branch leader, Xue Wei, took out a stack of documents and said gloomily,""The content of this meeting is here.”
Everyone immediately picked up the documents and read them one by one.
"Within a month, there were dozens of human-eating incidents in Tianji City? There are eight cases in the inner city!"
"Not only Tianji City, but other cities and headquarter cities in the Jiangnan area have been experiencing a lot of demon beasts recently. A large number of demon beasts have appeared in Jiang-Nan-95 headquarter city, and they have cooperated with human traitors to hunt down the martial artists in the base. This happened yesterday?"
"What happened? The front line hasn't even been in danger, but the rear is on fire? What about the other regions of China? Were demons appearing at the same time?”
After reading the report, all the big shots looked shocked and solemn.
"Only the Jiangnan area."
Li Tiannan replied. He was obviously worried about something big happening in the Jiangnan area.
It had been more than ten years since the war with the demons and devils had stopped. However, everyone knew that this was only a temporary peace. It was a time for the warriors to develop their foundation. Everyone knew that the war with the demons and devils would eventually start again.
"How dare they! The City Lord did not hide anything when he advanced to the King realm!”
Madam Zheng Qian, who was in charge of the people's livelihood in the city, looked extremely angry.
The fiendish demon clearly knew that there was a King realm martial arts expert in the Tianji City in the Jiangnan area, but it still dared to be so arrogant. It was clearly a blatant provocation.
"A King realm martial arts expert can fend off ten thousand at once. Perhaps the fiendish demons are here for the City Lord.”
Branch Leader Xue Wei suddenly said faintly.
Every time the humans lost a King realm expert, it was equivalent to a new year for the demon camp.
"In a short period of time, forcefully recall all the martial artists belonging to Tianji City. I…There's going to be a big purge!"
Li Tiannan didn't take Xue Wei's words to heart. He immediately stood up and issued the City Lord's order.
"Great purge? Specifically, it refers to..."
Commander Meng's eyes flickered as he asked.
"Human traitors, hidden demons, drag them all out!”
Li Tiannan's eyes were cold.
"Establishing prestige?"
Hearing this answer, all the big shots present had the same thought.
That's right, Li Tiannan had just advanced to the King realm. It was a good time for him to establish his might.
A King realm martial arts expert could be considered a major official in charge of a region in the Xia Country's Heavenly Territory.
Thinking about it from a different perspective, Li Tiannan's current strength was sufficient. It was understandable that he wanted to completely establish his prestige and cultivate his own team.
"What are your answers?"
Li Tiannan glanced at the big shots.
"I understand. I'll get the Martial Art Alliance's martial artist team to work harder during this period of time.”
Xue Wei was the first to respond.
Then, Commander Meng said,"
"We can't withdraw the guards on the inner city walls. I can only provide some of the most advanced military equipment.”
"Students who have already reached the level of a Martial Master can join this purge.”Wang Yuanjiu, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, expressed his stance.
The others were the same.
There was no doubt that after Li Tiannan stepped into the King realm, the Heaven's Legacy City would completely become his hall of command. No one would choose to question him at this time.
