Peerless War God

He only mentioned it casually and praised Gu Lanyue.    

When Gu Lanyue heard this, she immediately stood up again. Her pretty face flushed red, and her body temperature quickly rose.    

This feeling was like being praised by her elders when she was young, and she was very happy.    

"Lord City Lord, I..."    

Marquis Zi Jin raised his hand and interrupted her, "Sit, don't be too reserved. You have broken through to the Immortal Realm, and you have the rare appearance of a sword immortal. Your future is limitless, so you can be considered to have the qualifications to sit."    

These words were very practical. If it was an ordinary Immortal Realm cultivator, he would not have taken them seriously.    

However, this girl was different. She had the appearance of a sword immortal, and she was born in the Violet Cloud City. As a member of the Gu Clan, she was also highly regarded by Chen Xiao.    

No matter how one looked at it, she was different from everyone else.    

Gu Lanyue's heart surged. She had never been as excited as she was today. She felt like her heart was beating faster, and it was even faster than her own.    

"Use your Qi to stabilize your mind and calm down." Chen Xiao secretly transmitted his voice to help her calm down.    

A moment later, Gu Lanyue sat back down with a flushed face.    

When Marquis Zi Jin saw this, the smile on his face became even wider.    

"Gu Lanyue."    

"Yes, Lord City Lord."    

"You have successfully broken through to the Immortal Realm. I should congratulate you. I heard that you lack a suitable sword manual. I do have a suitable one, but it's a damaged one. I'll give it to you."    

As he spoke, Marquis Zi Jin took out a sword manual and handed it to Gu Lanyue.    

Gu Lanyue was pleasantly surprised. “City Lord, is this suitable?”    

Her black pearl-like eyes shone with a different light. After glancing at Marquis Zi Jin, she looked nervously at Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao smiled. “Since City Lord has given it to me, take it.”    

Hearing this, Gu Lanyue felt relieved and accepted the sword manual.    

The sword manual was very simple and unadorned. There were four big words on it, Burning Heaven Sword Technique.    

Although she had not flipped through the manual, just by looking at the four words, she could feel a strong sword energy rushing out of the paper, giving off a chilling aura that made her soul tremble.    

Gu Lanyue's eyes flashed with surprise. What a powerful sword manual.    

“Thank you, City Lord,” she hurriedly said.    

Marquis Zi Jin smiled and looked at Chen Xiao. He had already expected Gu Lanyue's attitude.    

“Chen Xiao, you have a loyal subordinate.”    

When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but be a little envious.    

After all, he had a lot of Purple Guards under him, and he had personally taught a few of them. Unfortunately, none of them had broken through to the Immortal Realm.    

Sigh, speaking of which, he felt ashamed. In teaching his disciples, he and the Heavenly Star Sword Master were inferior to Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao grinned, his face full of complacency. He took a sip of the wine in his cup and asked with a smile, "Big brother, you have never obtained this sword manual, so why is it incomplete?"    

The Duke of Zijin took a sip of the wine and said indifferently, "You killed a sword cultivator, so what you obtained is definitely extraordinary. Unfortunately, it is incomplete and useless. It is better to give it to someone else."    

These words were the truth.    

Chen Xiao nodded, understanding.    

At the side, Gu Lanyue was immersed in flipping through the sword manual, intoxicated, her eyes shining.    

Chen Xiao smiled and felt happy for her. It wasn't easy for Gu Lanyue to reach this point.    

Especially after the family was destroyed and Gu Changsheng died in the Divine Pagoda. The pressure of the entire family was placed on her.    

This kind of suffocating feeling, even he felt a suffocating pressure.    

Putting it on her shoulder, one could imagine.    

However, she still held on and borrowed this pressure to break through her own limits. This showed her unparalleled perseverance.    

This was also why the Heavenly Star Swordmaster and the Duke of Zijin looked at her with high regard.    

Chen Xiao drank a few more cups with the Duke of Zijin and drank to his heart's content. Then he said, "Big brother Zijing, I came here this time to ask for the position of deputy city lord for Lanyue. It just so happens that I can take over Gu Changsheng's position. What do you think?"    

"Alright." Marquis Zi Jin did not hesitate and immediately agreed.    

Chen Xiao's hand that was holding the wine cup stiffened. All the words that he had prepared just now were all useless.    

He glanced at Marquis Zi Jin from the corner of his eyes. "Why don't you think about it a little more?"    

"Think about what?" Marquis Zi Jin asked back.    

"Eh …" Chen Xiao scratched his head, feeling a little puzzled.    

Yes, what was there to think about? No matter how he looked at it, letting Gu Lanyue take over the position that originally belonged to Gu Changsheng and become the new vice city lord was a matter of course.    

Firstly, Gu Lanyue had the appearance of a great sword immortal, unstoppable, and had just broken through to the Immortal Realm. Her future was limitless.    

Secondly, Gu Changsheng had died for the sake of the Heavenly Star Sword Supreme. In terms of emotion and reason, he should compensate the Gu Clan.    

Thirdly, the Gu Clan was also a considerable force. Borrowing this opportunity to rope them in was definitely the best choice.    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh. It seemed like he was too nervous.    

"Ah? I, vice city lord? Is that okay? "    

Gu Lanyue's eyes turned red, and her voice trembled slightly.    

Of course, she knew that with her strength, she was not enough to take over the position of vice city lord of the Purple Cloud City. At the very least, she did not have enough experience.    

The reason she could receive such treatment was entirely because of Gu Changsheng's influence.    

Marquis Zi Jin stood out, a purple token appearing in his hand. It was the vice city lord token.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he couldn't help but silently curse in his heart. Sure enough, Big Brother Zi Jing had already thought of this and was prepared. It was a pity that he had been worried for so long, and it was a waste.    

Gu Lanyue stood up and walked over to Marquis Zi Jin, kneeling down on one knee.    

“Gu Lanyue, are you willing to take over the position of the fourth city lord and fight for Violet Cloud City, protecting it?”    

Marquis Zi Jin's face was sacred and incomparably serious as he asked in a voice that was as loud as thunder.    

Gu Lanyue's delicate body trembled, and tears poured down like a flood from her eyes. She knew everything she knew.    

“I am willing to fight for Violet Cloud City and protect it.”    

Gu Lanyue said resolutely, her eyes becoming completely red.    

At this moment, she seemed to feel as if she was looking up at Gu Changsheng in the sky, and he revealed a gratified smile before slowly dissipating.    

Clan Head, I did it, I really did it.    

Hearing this, a wisp of light flashed past Marquis Zi Jin's eyes like a bolt of lightning.    

“Alright, accept the order, refine it with a drop of your blood.”    

“Yes.”    

Gu Lanyue maintained her kneeling posture as she received the violet command token. She squeezed out a drop of blood and seeped it into it, instantly successfully refining it.    

Instantly, a wondrous feeling surged into her heart, including the rules of Violet Cloud City, as well as the various responsibilities of being a vice city lord, all of it surged into her mind.    

As for the command token in her hand, it was also incomparably clear.    

As long as someone gave the order, it could instantly be sent out.
