Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Chapter 86 Let Ye Feng Become the City Lord

Director Zhou paused for a moment, then adjusted his glasses.

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously."

Director Zhou remained silent.

"He is a direct descendant of the Ye family, so his status is sufficient. His strength is sufficient. His contributions are sufficient," Cao Keyuan said.

"If we report it, those powerful families won't object. After all, Ye Feng comes from a legitimate and prestigious family."

"Those people didn't have much reason to object."

"Moreover," he paused, "Jiangcheng needs someone who can keep things in check."

"We're both old and tired."

Director Zhou stared at the spiritual weapon in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

"You're serious," he said.

"I'm serious."

"Will Ye Feng agree?"

Cao Keyuan gave a wry smile.

"have no idea."

"Then let's ask first."

"No rush." ​​Cao Keyuan put away the spiritual weapon. "Let's finish dealing with the matter at hand first."

Two hours later, the search of the house ended.

All of the Li family's assets were registered and transported to the Night's Watch headquarters, truckload by truckload.

Cao Keyuan looked at the convoy, his excitement impossible to hide.

"I've struck it rich," he muttered to himself. "This time I've really struck it rich."

After the Li family's property was confiscated, it was the Zhao family's turn.

The Zhao family of Zhao Wuji is no less powerful than the Li family.

Zhao Wuji served as the city lord for over a decade, and only he himself knew how much he had amassed, both openly and secretly.

Now, all of these things have been confiscated.

Ye Feng led his three thousand troops straight to the Zhao family.

The Zhao family members had all fled, and by the time Ye Feng arrived, the mansion was already empty.

But even if the person runs away, the things can't.

One after another, underground vaults, secret rooms, and hidden chambers were unearthed.

Gold and silver jewelry were piled up like mountains.

Precious medicinal herbs were being moved out by the boxful.

Rare metals, exotic beast materials, cultivation resources—dozens of trucks were loaded with them.

Cao Ke stood guard beside him, his eyes glazed over.

"Just how much did Zhao Wuji embezzle?"

"It's enough for Jiangcheng for at least three years," Director Zhou said.

Cao Keyuan took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

Then came the Sun family, the Wang family, and the Zhang family.

All the masters from these three aristocratic families perished in the great battle.

Some were killed by the Heavenly Demon Clan, while others were drained dry by the Devouring Array.

The remaining clansmen were leaderless and scattered like a pile of loose sand.

Ye Feng didn't make things difficult for them; he simply imposed a fine of 100 million yuan according to regulations.

Although one billion is a lot, it is still something that these three century-old families can afford.

The remaining members of the three aristocratic families knelt on the ground, unwilling to utter a single word of dissent.

The rules in Jiangcheng have changed.

In the past, powerful families called the shots.

From now on, fists will call the shots.

After ransacking the house, Ye Feng led his army back to the Night's Watch headquarters.

The spoils from this raid were more than anyone could have imagined.

Gold is measured in tons.

The cultivation resources are enough for the entire Jiangcheng to use for three years.

The weapons and equipment are countless.

There are hundreds of sets of standard weapons of S-class and above.

There are also three spirit weapons.

Cao Keyuan's hands trembled as he looked at the long list.

"This...this equipment is enough for our Jiangcheng military headquarters and the Night Watch to completely re-equip themselves."

"Then let's all change our clothes," Ye Feng said.

"And these cultivation resources, there are simply too many." Director Zhou flipped through another list.

"This means we can expand our military on a large scale."

"Then expand the army."

Cao Keyuan and Director Zhou exchanged a glance, both seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.

hope.

The hope of Jiangcheng.

"Ye Feng," Cao Keyuan suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"Have you ever thought about... becoming the city lord?"

Ye Feng was taken aback.

"City Lord?"

"Yes." Cao Keyuan looked at him seriously, "Lord of Jiangcheng."

"You are a direct descendant of the Ye family, your status is sufficient. Your strength is sufficient."

"You deserve enough credit!"

"No one will object to you becoming the city lord."

Ye Feng fell silent.

He never thought of becoming the city lord.

He just wants to become stronger.

All I want is to make money.

I just want to live a good life in this world.

But what about becoming the city lord?

He might not have been interested before.

But after he became the Lord of Slaughter.

He was more interested than anyone else.

But he didn't want to sit in the city lord's mansion reviewing documents every day.

"Not interested," he said deliberately.

Cao Keyuan's face fell.

"No! Listen to me!"

"I don't have time," Ye Feng interrupted him. "I need to cultivate, break through to a higher level, and kill alien beasts. The city lord's affairs are too troublesome."

"Don't worry about the city lord's affairs. Old Zhou and I will handle it for you."

"You can just lend your name and serve as a symbol."

Ye Feng realized that he had achieved his goal.

"Hmm! I'll think about it!"

Cao Keyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said no more.

But he was already making plans in his mind.

Ye Feng must become the city lord.

His appointment as the city lord is extremely important to Jiangcheng.

Because Jiangcheng needs the name Ye Feng.

We need his prestige, his strength, and his deterrent power.

As long as Ye Feng is in Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng is safe.

"Then we won't bother you any longer." Cao Keyuan patted Ye Feng on the shoulder.

"Then you should get some rest. Old Zhou and I will take care of rebuilding Jiangcheng."

"Thank you for your hard work," Ye Feng said.

"What's so hard about it?" Cao Keyuan laughed. "Before, I worked for powerful families; now I work for you. I'm willing to work for you."

Director Zhou nodded in agreement.

Old Zhang, holding the spirit weapon broadsword, chuckled foolishly to the side.

Outside the window, the sun is setting.

The blood-red sky finally returned to its normal color.

The sadness remains, the pain remains, and the loss is irreparable.

But there is still hope.

Ye Feng stood by the window, looking out at Jiangcheng.

"There's still a lot to do," he muttered to himself.

"However! The ring on that giant hand is quite special!"

"And those black beads!"

He found that thing on the Demon Clan envoy in the center of the square.

At that time, the Demon Messenger transformed into his blood and qi and rushed into the spatial rift.

Nothing was left behind except this black bead.

And the ring on that huge hand was clearly extraordinary.

"System! What are these two things?"

[Ding! Appraisal fee: 10,000 kill points!]

"Holy crap! System, are you being a bit unfair?"

[Ding! Due to the host's recent accumulation of kill points!]

[The system has specially opened a paid consultation service for this purpose! As long as you, the host, have kill points, this system knows everything!]

Ye Feng brought up his own attribute page.

Looking at his kill count of over 150,000!

Ye Feng spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Ten thousand kill points! A piece of cake!"

"Take it!"
