Chapter 27: The One Who Was Waited For, Returns

Liu Dacheng is the Deputy City Lord of the Qingshan Base, with a cultivation base of the Third Grade of Martial Dao.

After the previous City Lord died in battle while providing reinforcements, he temporarily took on the responsibilities of the acting City Lord.

However, because his cultivation base is only at the Third Grade of Martial Dao.

Liu Dacheng cannot command respect; there is no shortage of Third Grade Martial Dao existences within the Qingshan Base.

He is actually one of the people who hopes for the arrival of the new Qingshan Base Lord as soon as possible.

But he has also heard that many factions have been shirking the position of the Qingshan Lord.

Even he cannot help but sigh!

When people are compared to others, they truly cannot be compared.

The position that he and others yearn for is seen as a burden in the eyes of those major factions.

Fortunately, the Academy Faction finally produced a candidate.

There was no further delay; after all, a month had already passed.

"The Qingshan Base is finally going to have a City Lord."

Liu Dacheng could not help but sigh aloud.

"Indeed!"

Zeng Minghong, the commander of the guard army standing to the side, had similar thoughts.

Both of them are people of the Qingshan Base, though they originated from the Heritage Martial Arts Hall.

Generations of accumulation allowed both of them to have enough resources to become Third Grade Martial Dao existences.

But wanting to go a step further is not a problem that can be solved by resources. ### CHAPTER 67

At the very least, the two of them are currently an extraordinary distance away from the Fourth Grade of Martial Dao.

However, they inevitably felt some trepidation in their hearts.

They just didn't know if this new Fourth Grade Martial Dao expert would be easy to get along with.

After all, this person comes from the Nanjiang Martial Arts University, which to them means having a major background.

The pity is that they do not know exactly who it is!

Because the candidate was only announced not long ago, and this person has already come to take office.

They only know the name is Ning An!

Although they have already asked some people to investigate, how could it be that fast?

Especially since mid-grade martial artists have some classified information.

Although the Nanjiang Martial Arts University does have a relatively shallow foundation, that does not mean they lack this capability.

They are, after all, a member of the Academy Faction!

This is mainly to prevent probing by some evil cults and the like.

Not much time passed before a plane from Nanjiang landed.

Liu Dacheng and his companion quickly went up to greet it.

The airport does not have many restrictions on martial artists, let alone the status of Liu Dacheng and his companion.

Ning An was naturally the first person to walk off the plane.

The privileges of a martial artist were displayed vividly in this regard.

"City Lord Ning!"

Seeing Ning An's figure, Liu Dacheng's eyes lit up as he spoke.

Although he had seen this person's figure in previous photos.

He still had to marvel at the youth of this new City Lord.

Being young and a Fourth Grade existence means great potential.

An existence like this will likely not stay in the Qingshan Base for too long.

"Welcome, City Lord Ning!"

Zeng Minghong, on the other side, also reacted quickly and went up to greet him.

But regardless of what the two were thinking, they were very respectful toward this person at this moment.

In the world of Martial Dao, the strong are respected!

And the person before them is a strong one; neither his strength nor his background is something they can compare to.

As long as one is not a fool, no one would choose to offend this person.

"Actually, I am also a person of Qingshan."

Ning An looked at the two and said slowly.

He is not unfamiliar with the two before him!

Of course, it belongs to the kind where I know them, but they don't know me.

Mainly because, previously, the two were high-level officials of the Qingshan Base.

They appeared on television quite often!

Every base has a channel dedicated to its own base.

Used to promote some of the base's movements and the like.

A long time ago, Ning An had also yearned for the positions of these two.

But now, he feels it is just so-so.

Now, both are approaching fifty years of age, which is actually not too bad.

Basically, there is no possibility for their cultivation to go any further.

And as Ning An's voice fell!

Liu Dacheng and Zeng Minghong were shocked in their hearts.

They did not expect that the City Lord taking office this time would actually be a person from the Qingshan Base.

But soon, they felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

Locals are good; at least they know some of the situation in the Qingshan Base.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first!"

Ning An said again.

No matter what, he should first take a look at the current situation of the Qingshan Base.

He didn't even know how many reinforcements the previous City Lord had taken out.

After all, since even that person had fallen, the reinforcement team certainly couldn't have fared any better.

It can be said that the Qingshan Base, which did not have strong defensive strength to begin with, has had its strength reduced once again.

Exactly how much of the Qingshan Base's foundation remains is a question!

If he doesn't understand it, Ning An really won't be at ease.

"Yes!"

Liu Dacheng and Zeng Minghong also spoke up immediately.

During this period, they had been hoping for the new City Lord to arrive and take charge quickly.

Otherwise, no one would submit to anyone, leading to a complete mess. ### CHAPTER 68

Qingshan Base

City Lord's Mansion

Ning An could feel that the spiritual energy here was only slightly worse than at the Nanjiang Martial Arts University.

But it was understandable!

In such a large base, there are always a few places where spiritual energy gathers.

And as the residence of a Fourth Grade martial artist, the City Lord's Mansion certainly cannot be shabby.

Previously, he had been slightly mistaken!

Although the cultivation environment of the Qingshan Base is indeed a bit worse.

It was not as bad as he had imagined.

Fortunately, Ning An did not focus too much on this; currently, it was about the affairs of the Qingshan Base.

"City Lord, currently the Qingshan Base has 80,000 remaining in the guard army."

"The number of martial artists is only 8,000."

"The most critical thing is that because many people died in battle previously, a lot of compensation was paid."

"Leading to the Qingshan Base being somewhat unable to make ends meet."

Liu Dacheng could be said to have no good feelings toward the previous City Lord, he said.

Even though the two had worked together for many years previously.

Before, Liu Dacheng was the one who strongly opposed providing reinforcements.

The pity is that the suppression based on martial artist cultivation meant Liu Dacheng had no say.

And during this period, because the Qingshan Base lacked a backbone.

Many things were in a mess, even affecting the operation of the entire base.

For example, soaring prices, the families of the fallen causing trouble, and so on.

Although Ning An knew before that the Qingshan Base was not optimistic.

It was a big pit!

But he did not expect the pit dug by his predecessor to be so large.

At the very least, he felt that returning to the Qingshan Base did not seem to be a good thing.

Fortunately, no matter how helpless Ning An felt inside!

He still had to deal with these things before him first.

After Ning An thought about it, what he needed to do was to stabilize people's hearts first.

"You go and have the people from the television station come over first." ### CHAPTER 69
