Chapter 1792
Jiang Bieli remained silent on the deck of the warship, his gaze fixed on Chen Xuan, then sweeping over Lin Yuyao behind him, whose expression was complicated. Although Chen Xuan had helped Qilin City win the war, he was like a dull knife, crushing the city lord's prestige that Jiang had cultivated for many years.
If Chen Xuan hadn't displayed such terrifying strength, enough to easily annihilate the entire Qilin City, he would have already been unable to suppress his anger and launched an attack on the spot.
Chen Xuan, accompanied by his six Daoist companions, stood in mid-air, their white-clad figures hovering in the void in front of the Qilin City warship.
This scene instantly attracted everyone's attention—the high-ranking members of the Starry Sky Sect who were watching from afar held their breath, and Wang Zheng and his three companions, who had just personally annihilated their clansmen, also stopped and looked at this place with solemn expressions.
Everyone knew that Chen Xuan's next move would directly determine the future fate of Qilin City.
Chen Xuan's gaze swept over Jiang Bieli and the elders on the deck of the warship, finally landing on the stern of the warship—where Lin Yuqiong stood upright, her face solemn, but her eyes held a hint of determination.
Chen Xuan smiled and said loudly, "Brother-in-law, if not now, when?"
"Big brother?" Lin Yuyao also turned to look at her brother, her eyes full of expectation.
Swish!
These words were like a thunderclap, instantly silencing the entire void.
All the cultivators' eyes were focused on Lin Yuqiong, curious about how this usually gentle and refined young master of Qilin City would respond.
Jiang Bieli, the First Elder, the Second Elder, and other high-ranking officials were all stunned and turned to look at Lin Yuqiong, completely unable to figure out Chen Xuan's intentions.
After a brief silence, Lin Yuqiong suddenly burst into laughter—a laugh devoid of joy, only filled with a desperate resolve.
After laughing, he raised his hand and flicked his robes. A flash of immortal light appeared beneath his feet, and he flew straight off the warship deck, landing beside Chen Xuan.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuqiong's demeanor completely changed. He used to be as gentle and refined as jade, always treating others with humility.
At this moment, however, his eyes were sharp as knives, and he exuded a domineering and decisive aura, even straightening his back more.
He turned to look at Jiang Bieli and the elders on the warship, their faces filled with shock, and said in a voice as heavy as iron: "Father, nine elders... if Qilin City does not change its master today, no one in these six nebulae under my command will recognize the majesty of Qilin City!"
boom!
These words immediately caused an uproar among various factions, with gasps of astonishment rising and falling.
"Is this an attempt to seize power?!"
"The young master actually wants to force the city lord to abdicate?"
"Chen Xuan is trying to support his brother-in-law and completely control Qilin City!"
Wang Zheng, Lao Dao, and the other three exchanged glances and made a decision instantly—they took their respective direct descendants with them and teleported behind Chen Xuan in a few moments. The auras of the four celestial immortals and gods intertwined, instantly freezing the already tense atmosphere.
"Jiang Bieli, how dare you be the city lord?" Wang Zheng sneered, staring intently at Jiang Bieli. "Back then, when your wife was undergoing the True Immortal Tribulation, you were out indulging in pleasure, causing her to lose her composure, fail the tribulation, and die. Now you have brought shame upon Qilin City. Why don't you step down and let your nephew Yuqiong take over!"
"Indeed!" Old Dao quickly echoed, his tone ingratiating towards Chen Xuan. "I've long seen that my nephew Yuqiong is a dragon among men, more suitable to be the city lord than you! If you know what's good for you, you'll be saving Qilin City a way out!"
They knew perfectly well that Chen Xuan's support for Lin Yuqiong was the key to Qilin City's future. The sooner they chose sides now, the more benefits they would receive from Qilin City in the future.
Chen Xuan and Lin Yuyao, brother and sister, simply watched all this in silence without saying a word—the current situation required Lin Yuqiong to break the deadlock herself, and they only needed to be the strongest support.
But how could Jiang Bieli swallow this insult?
His own son colluded with outsiders to force him to abdicate, yet he still expects him to step down voluntarily?
He trembled with rage, pointing at Lin Yuqiong and shouting, "You unfilial son! Are you betraying Qilin City? How can you face your ancestors and your deceased mother?!"
