989: Chapter 989: City Lord (Fifth Update) 989: Chapter 989: City Lord (Fifth Update) Victory!
The people of Qin River City never expected that Peter Brown would turn the tide of a seemingly lost battle and create a winning situation.
They all stood there, unsure of what to do next.
It was Peter who remained clear-headed, shouting to everyone, “Kill the Black Force Army!”
Though the high-level fighters of the Black Force Army were dead, many low-level cultivators still remained.
If they were not dealt with, victory could not be truly claid.
“Right, kill them!”
An elder Nascent Soul stage old man yelled out and charged towards the alive mbers of the Black Force Army.
“Kill!”
As if suddenly infused with great power, the people of Qin River City all pounced on the enemy.
If the high-level fighters of the Black Force Army were still alive, they might have had so fighting spirit left.
But seeing their comrades suddenly dying one by one with their heads exploding, the rest were scared into submission.
“We surrender, we surrender!”
No one knew who started it, but the mbers of the Black Force Army all knelt down, raising their hands in surrender.
The people of Qin River City were bewildered once again, as their victory ca so quickly.
Will Hanson and Corey Webster both looked at Peter Brown with reverence.
They too, hadn’t expected such an outco, which made Peter seem even more mysterious to them.
However, upon rembering their close relationship with Peter, they both stood taller.
“Elder, what should we do next?” One of the Nascent Soul stage old n paid respects to Peter with a bow, showing his respect.
“There’s no need for such formality, I am the junior here,” Peter hurriedly bowed in return.
“In the Cultivation World, the strong are respected regardless of age.
You led everyone to victory; naturally, you are our elder,” the old man stubbornly insisted.
At this mont, another elder Nascent Soul stage man also stepped forward, “Indeed, Elder Wang, if it weren’t for you, today’s situation would have been completely different, and our lives would have been worse than death!”
Seeing the dead bodies of those high-level fighters who had been controlled by Chris Walter, everyone imagined their possible fate after defeat, and couldn’t help but feel afraid.
“Elder, you are our savior.
Please accept our gratitude.”
Upon realizing the consequences, everyone bowed before Peter.
As Peter was about to say sothing, he saw their earnest expressions and didn’t know what to say, so instead, he suggested, “We still don’t know the real situation in the city.
Let’s deal with the Black Force Army mbers first.”
“Alright!”
Everyone agreed with Peter’s suggestion.
Then, Peter divided the forces into three groups, each led by two elder Nascent Soul stage old n and himself.
They headed in different directions within the city.
As they moved, Peter noticed that many high-level fighters of Qin River City had gathered, probably around three hundred people in total.
With more than a hundred people by his side, Peter headed in the direction of the River Mountain Sect.
“Peter, these are our sect mbers!”
Along the way, they saw many fallen mbers of the River Mountain Sect.
“Sect Lord!”
Will Hanson suddenly spotted Robert Lee on the ground, and rushed over quickly.
Peter imdiately investigated and exclaid, “He’s still breathing.”
However, Will shook his head, “It’s too late!”
After being fed an elixir by Will, Robert Lee woke up.
Glancing at Peter and the others, he tightly grabbed Will’s hand saying, “What’s the situation with the sect?”
Will replied, “We don’t know yet.”
Disappointnt filled Robert Lee’s eyes as he tightened his grip on Will’s hand and said, “Carry on our inheritance.”
Having spoken, he died.
Peter had already seen Robert Lee’s Elixir Sea shattered, his entire body exploded and severely injured.
If not for his astonishing willpower, he should have died long before.
Now that he had spoken his last words, his remaining strength was exhausted.
For so ti after, Peter led everyone to investigate the various locations within the city.
They found the bodies of the River Mountain Sect’s high-level fighters, but they had all beco lifeless corpses.
When they arrived at the River Mountain Sect, they saw that everything inside the sect had been looted, with nothing spared.
With a sigh, Corey Webster said, “If it weren’t for Peter, we would have been corpses too!”
When they arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, they saw the two elder Nascent Soul stage old n already waiting there with their forces.
“Where is the City Lord?” Peter asked imdiately.
With a sigh, one of the old n replied, “Master Quartercastle has been killed by Chris Walter.”
The City Lord was dead!
As Peter looked at the others, he realized that most of them had been rescued by him, and very few of the City Lord’s high-level subordinates remained.
At this mont, one of the old n looked at Peter and said, “Elder Wang, given the current situation in Qin River City, with it being destroyed by Chris Walter and now left without a City Lord, there is chaos everywhere.
Therefore, we need soone to take over as the new City Lord.”
Peter wasn’t particularly concerned about this matter, so he told the two old n, “Both of you are Nascent Soul stage elders.
You can discuss this matter amongst yourselves.
My opinion is that one of you should be chosen as the new City Lord.”
“No, Elder Wang, at the mont, there is only one person in Qin River City who can win everyone’s trust, and that is you.
Liu Ting and I have discussed this, and we are willing to follow your command.
Please take on the position of City Lord.”
Another elder added, “Elder Wang, my na is Harold Bell.
Liu Ting and I are both willing to follow your commands.
Please beco the new City Lord.”
It was only now that Peter learned their nas.
“Please, Elder Wang, beco the new City Lord.”
The people Peter had saved all looked at him with clasped fists.
Beco the City Lord?
Peter was a little stunned, as he had never expected this outco,
As he gazed upon everyone, he saw a pair of trusting eyes.
“Peter, you really need to take the position of City Lord,” Corey whispered to him.
“Without a City Lord, Qin River City is in chaos.
Everyone is uneasy unless you take the position.”
Peter then realized that was indeed the case.
Previously, there was a high-level Nascent Soul Peak fighter, possibly even capable of reaching the Body Integrating Phase, who could maintain order.
But now, with the loss of so many high-level fighters, everyone would worry about a powerful force attacking the city.
If Peter, the one capable of killing a Union old monster, beca the City Lord, everyone would have more confidence.
In any case, Peter knew that he had no choice but to beco the City Lord.
So, after understanding the situation, Peter reluctantly agreed to take on the role.
“Elder Wang, in order to restore order in Qin River City, as well as ensure the safety of Sun and Moon City and the other two great cities, you must take up the position of City Lord.”
Both elders knelt before him, along with everyone else.
