C307 Broken Story(2)
This time, Duan Xiu's return was very timely. It was also because he had calculated the time that he once again caught up to the Devil Beast's siege! And together with Duan Xiu, there were also a few relatively stronger Devil Beast in his hands.
Duan's addition immediately attracted everyone's attention. Not only was this youth who had left for three years stronger, he actually learned the secret technique to control the Devil Beast...
The battle quickly ended. The result was the same. The Devil Beast was repelled. But this time, Broken had become a celebrity in everyone's eyes, even though the few Devil Beast were all sacrificed under his command. However, this mysterious secret technique and this young man's powerful strength had left a deep impression on everyone.
The City Lord was very happy that his foster son had returned. Not only was his strength stronger, he had also comprehended a mysterious secret technique! This way, the casualties on their side would be even smaller in the future battles. The old man enthusiastically opened a banquet to welcome their broken return. Everyone seemed to have seen a star of hope.
Duan Jue also made a timely request to take away all the corpses of the high-level Devil Beast on the battlefield. It would allow him to research and control the stronger Devil Beast. This request was naturally not excessive. The old City Lord agreed without even blinking his eyes. Furthermore, he had been recommended to participate in the Rookie Competition with the two children of the City Lord. This was also the reason why he was the number one genius on the continent.
The result of the competition was unexpected. An unknown kid from Ivano City had defeated all his opponents with great difficulty and won the first place. This shocked many people at that time, because the few people who had the ability to win the competition had all been eliminated by him. Even the two heirs of Ivano City were no exception.
However, he was still the most excited, because he knew that the secret technique he was most proficient in had yet to be used. If he could control some Devil Beast or even humans, he would be able to easily become the champion. However, this had also unknowingly laid down a foreshadowing for what would happen next.
After returning to the city, Broken received the treatment of a hero. This was because it had been many years since the rookie competition had started. All of this glory was once again added to his name, and the word "hero" was once again mentioned. And the fallacy of his parents from back then had long disappeared without a trace. For a moment, he had become the most popular figure in Ivano.
However, these were not enough to satisfy him. What he needed was not just an undeserved reputation. What he needed was real power! Only when he had real power could he fulfill his promise and ridicule the past. Those who bullied him before were trampled under his feet. After enduring for so many years, the opportunity finally came.
At this time, he had already become the second most powerful person in the Ivano City besides the City Lord. Although he was still very young, his outstanding martial skills and terrifying secret technique, coupled with his meticulous mind, had finally arrived. He had never offended anyone before, which made many people think highly of him. There were even people who suggested for him to be the next clan head. However, when faced with this kind of news, Duan could only smile. He expressed that he had no interest at all. Because he knew that his chance hadn't arrived yet.
Wolves were a very cruel animal, even when he was very hungry. Only then would he make his move. This was how it was, because the old city lord was already very old. It was almost time to appoint the next city lord, and then he would have to bear it for the rest of his life.
People would be a bit muddle-headed when they were old, and they would also have selfish motives. The same was true for the old city lord. Before his death, he actually passed the position of City Lord to his eldest son, even though this person was also very outstanding. But compared to the time when he died, he was still very far away. Many people had complaints, perhaps the City Lord was already senile and muddle-headed. He couldn't take it at all. Moreover, before he died, he even specially called Duan Dao to the bed and instructed him to work hard to assist his son in the future. This move of his wasn't to die of loneliness, because this muddle-headed old man didn't want Duan Dao to inherit his position at all. He fiercely pinned the title of "Supporting Administrative Elder" on his head.
Duan didn't pay much attention to it at that time. He only nodded slightly. He watched as the old city lord died peacefully. Just when everyone sighed that such an outstanding young man actually didn't get what he deserved, he only faintly smiled. And in the dark, he had already started to play tricks.
First, he killed the old city lord's youngest son and then controlled his body. Finally, he was dissatisfied with his eldest son. In order to fight for the position of the city lord, the two of them had a duel! Under the ingenious control of Duan Jue, the two of them were seriously injured in the martial arts competition. The youngest son died, and the eldest son was not in a good situation either. It seemed that he would not be able to fight for a long time.
After that, he controlled the last son of the old city lord, claiming that he was dissatisfied with his brother killing his younger brother. For the sake of a city lord, he killed his own younger brother. In the end, even his daughters joined in as well. After all, the position of city lord was too tempting. Who wouldn't want to interfere? However, the one with the highest prestige didn't do anything. This made all the people in Ivano surprised: Could it be that this guy really wanted to be a "elder"?
Of course not. At this time, Duan was controlling the fight between his youngest son and all of them. Just as this family was being toyed with by him, the Devil Beast siege erupted once again. The children of the old city lords all hoped to perform well in this battle and obtain the support of more people. Then, they would ascend to the throne of the city lord. At this time, it was the 'old men' in Duan He City's turn to deal with the Tenth Level Devil Beast. Without any complaints, they were forced to retreat, and they had no intention of competing for the credit.
However, those young masters and young ladies were trying to steal a chicken, but they were forced to give up. They were all severely injured from the attack of the Devil Beast. Two of them even died after that. Everyone in the city couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw them in such a miserable state. They turned around and placed their hopes on Duan Ling Tian. After that, because their injuries were too severe or they died or died, none of them had the strength to dispute the City Lord anymore. As a City Lord, his greatest reliance was his own strength. Because you have to face the surrounding powers and enemies, you have to repel the other party's leader in the battle with the Devil Beast. Now, these people who were already crippled naturally couldn't satisfy everyone. At this time, everyone's gaze once again focused on Duan Xiu.
However, he repeatedly claimed that he was only an assistant. The City Lord should still be the eldest son. After all, this was the orthodox way of doing things!
It was this phrase that ignited the gunpowder barrel. Everyone was dissatisfied with these few young masters. "What is the orthodox way of doing things? Who doesn't know that the position of the city lord is just an elder that was split up before, and that it is the position of the one who is powerful. And now, these few people are all trash, even inferior to ordinary soldiers. How could they rule over a major power? In the long years to come, they might very well be swallowed up by the powers surrounding them that are eyeing them covetously. " Just like that, in the midst of an argument, they were definitely 'helplessly' pushed to this position. It was as if a yellow robe was attached to them.
Sitting in the seat of the city lord, he looked at all his subordinates below. Duan Jue knew that after enduring for several decades, he had finally succeeded. He had finally obtained the right that he had dreamt of, and he could finally trample all the people who looked down on him. Although most of them had already died in the "accident" that he had created.
As for Eldest Young Master and the other people who were still alive, the last page of the book had all died in depression. No one knew how they had died. However, no one would doubt that the final moment was still with the broken pieces that supported them, because this was simply too "sentimental." He clearly had the strength to do so, yet he had given up just because of a single sentence from the old city lord. After going through the steam of a bunch of trash, he was unwillingly nominated by everyone. But people did not know that all of this was a good show directed by him. From a very young age, this scene had been brewing for decades.
After that... After many years of hard work, he began to make drastic reforms. Ivano had become one of the biggest powers in the continent. But at this time, he rarely showed up in front of the world. What everyone saw was just a clone created by him. However, everyone only thought that this person's secret technique was to control the Devil Beast. No one knew that Duan Jue could control all dead creatures! This was also his greatest secret. The success of obtaining the City Lord depended entirely on this secret technique...
At this moment, he felt that this sky-high sword had stabbed into his clone's chest. His connection with it was getting weaker and weaker. Duan Ling Tian truly did not understand why a young man would have such terrifying power. Although this clone wasn't particularly powerful, it couldn't even withstand a single blow from the patriarch. Duan Ling Tian, who had already completely lost contact with it, really didn't understand why such a thing would happen. "Why did he want to kill me?"
But what was even more unexpected was that the prelude to the war had just begun.
