Sandstorm City.
This city was located in a remote area, adjacent to the desert of the Western Regions. It was filled with sand all year round, and it was just as its name suggested.
This place was originally under the jurisdiction of the dynasty, but the entire Southwest Region had been infiltrated by the Demonic Sect. The so-called City Lord's Mansion had already existed in name only.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this was a place outside the law.
In the city, in the Demon Cult's encampment.
In the hall, everyone took their seats on both sides, but the seat at the top was empty.
"It's been five days, and there's still no news from Su Shi?”
"No, I sent people out to look for him. He's dead or alive, but there's no corpse!”
"I think he's most likely going to lose his life this time!”
"I wonder what kind of courage he has to go to Zhan Qingchen alone?”
"He's probably out of his mind!"
"Hmph, trash who relied on his background to get to the top. Who can you blame for courting death?”
Everyone discussed in low voices.
Su Shi's strength was not considered strong, but he was able to become the commander of Sandstorm City. It was obvious that he relied on the Su family's background.
This was not welcomed by the demonic path, which respected strength.
In addition to his repeated actions, he had lost more than 30% of the power in the city.
His reputation fell to rock bottom.
Countless people in Sandstorm City wished for his death.
At this moment, a burly man slowly walked in.
The hall instantly fell silent.
This person's muscles were tight, and his blood was like a dragon. He was like an iron tower, emitting an oppressive pressure.
The second-in-command of Sandstorm City:
Lion King, Shi Meng!
Shi Meng looked around. Wherever his gaze went, everyone was silent out of fear.
He nodded in satisfaction and said in a low voice,""I just received news from the sect that Commander Su Shi is dead. I will temporarily take over the affairs of the city.”
The hall was silent for a moment, then there was a round of applause.
"Good!"
"The stone dragon head deserves its reputation."
"Fengsha City has suffered for a long time!"
"With Commander Shi around, the rise of Sandstorm City is just around the corner!”
Whether it was sincere or not, everyone applauded and cheered, giving Shi Meng enough face.
Shi Meng's face was also red.
He had waited for this day for far too long.
As an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, he had to listen to a little kid in the Foundation Establishment realm. This filled his heart with resentment and indignation.
However, Su Shi was a Demon General appointed by the Sect Leader after all. No matter how unhappy he was, there was nothing he could do.
However, he didn't expect that the other party would seek death by challenging Zhan Qingchen!
"Alright."
Shi Meng stretched out his hand and pressed it down, pretending to say,"Commander Su's life and death have yet to be determined, and I'm only temporarily in charge. If Commander Su returns one day, this position will still have to be returned to him.”
No matter what, he had to maintain his reputation.
"Tsk, it would be strange if he could come back!”
A man with a snake-like face and a wretched appearance sneered,"Zhan Qingchen is the lead disciple of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, the number one genius of the righteous path! Wouldn't killing him be like killing a chicken?"
Shi Meng did not speak, but the smile in his eyes grew wider.
The wretched man cleared his throat and said,"Since Commander Shi has taken over Su Shi's position, Su Shi's mansion and property will naturally belong to Commander Shi.”
"No objections."
"Of course I have no objections."
Obviously, the wretched man was Shi Meng's man.
Su Shi's body was not even cold yet, and he was already thinking about his assets. His table manners were indeed a little ugly.
However, no one would stand up to oppose it.
Who would offend Shi Meng, who was in the limelight, for a dead person?
This was reality.
"Commander Shi, since there's nothing much to do, why don't we go and take a look at your new residence first?" The wretched man smiled.”
Shi Meng had been coveting this for a long time. He nodded and said,"There's no harm in looking."
"Please."
The two of them left the hall, leaving everyone looking at each other.
……
Su Shi's residence was located in the center of the city.
With five doors and seven entrances, the courtyard was deep. It was a real mansion.
However, Shi Meng was blocked outside the door.
A delicate and pretty girl stood at the door and frowned."Deputy Shi? What are you doing here?"
Assistant?
This form of address made Shi Meng frown slightly, and a trace of gloominess flashed across his eyes.
"How dare you! The person standing in front of you is Commander Shi!" The wretched man shouted angrily.”
"Commander?"
"The commander of the Sandstorm City is my young master. When did it become you, Shi Meng?" The young girl frowned.”
"Oh, so you don't know.”
"Su Shi is already dead!" The wretched man sneered. The sect appointed Commander Shi to take over the position. Su Shi's mansion and property all belonged to Commander Shi!”
"What did you say?"
The young girl felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Shi Meng had no scruples at all. This matter was most likely true!
" Young Master, he…is dead?"
Her face was pale and her body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.
The wretched man rolled his eyes and whispered into Shi Meng's ear,"Commander Shi, this maid should also be part of the property, right? Since Su Shi is dead, isn't this girl at your mercy?”
Looking at the girl's pretty face, Shi Meng couldn't help but lick his lips.
"That makes sense. Tie her up first and I'll slowly deal with her tonight!”
"Yes."
The wretched man smiled malevolently and reached out to grab the girl.
Facing the huge hand that was grabbing at her, the girl had no time to dodge. She could only close her eyes in despair.
However, the demonic palm did not touch her for a long time.
The girl opened her eyes in confusion and saw a tall figure blocking in front of her. A familiar and cold voice sounded,
"Shi Meng, how dare you touch my girl?!”
