th a resounding clang, three blue skeletons were sent flying. The ant's legs plunged directly into the blue war drum, shattering it and causing a massive explosion. Taking advantage of this opportunit...“Do you know the consequences of defying my order” Jiu Ren Shan said in a cold voice. The difference between the main and deputy city lords was clear. Even in the past, when he was the deputy city lord, once he made a decision, even the deputy city lord would rarely object. Now, the small city lord he had supported actually dared to defy his orders

Since Mount Jiuren has been sitting in the Nine Palaces City,

Several deputy city lords came and went. As for the Nine Heavens Order Master, they were only appointed in special circumstances. For example, when a deputy city lord was missing, which was rare, neither the deputy city lord nor the Order Master had much room to disobey him.

The distinction between primary and secondary roles is quite significant.

Holding the City Lord's seal means being the greatest successor to the immortal realm's luck. Even if their methods are similar, and even if the original Deputy City Lord had a higher cultivation level,

In a place not too far from Jiuyang City, even the deputy city lord would find it difficult to match him. Let alone this lotus avatar in front of him.

"I am in Jiuyang City, favored by the city lord and granted the position of Master Enforcer. If the city lord feels I disobey his orders or disrespect him, he can take back the position of Master Enforcer at any time. Then I can wholeheartedly merge with the sword intent of the Seven Great Town Swords and focus on my swordsmanship." The lotus avatar said calmly.

“You dare threaten the city lord!” The fairy appeared eager to fight, ready to give the Lotus avatar a thrashing at the slightest command from the peak of Nine-Ren Mountain.

“I'm just stating the facts, not making threats. City Lord, you can consider for yourself whether to remove me from the position of Nine Heavens Lord. While my current cultivation level is inferior to yours, I always act with integrity and righteousness. This is part of my swordsmanship training. City Lord, you shouldn't think that a simple decree can change the path I have cultivated.” As the other party became more impolite, the lotus avatar's tone also hardened. She didn't care much about the face of Jiuren Mountain.

It was his Lotus Avatar, not the Nine Heights Mountain, who was recognized by the Seven Towns' Swords.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even without the title of Nine Heavens Sovereign, Lotus's avatar within Jiuyang City was still capable of rivaling a Golden Immortal.

If it weren't for the Seven Town Swords, he wouldn't even have had the chance to meet Jiuren Mountain, let alone become the Lord of the Manor.

If he wasn't backed by real strength, Jiuren Mountain could destroy him between his palms. In short, the position of the Lord of Jinyang is based on the lotus avatar's own strength, not a gift from Jiuren Mountain. Otherwise, why wouldn't the other party bestow this position upon their trusted confidante instead of an unrelated person like himself

But when Jiuren Mountain issued the order, it made Lianhua's clone carry it out. Even if it involved suppressing the murmurings of the immortals in Jiuyang City, it wouldn't harm his status as the city lord's ruling foundation. The resentment of the people of Jiuyang City would be transferred to him, the master of the Jiuyang Order.

If one ignores the criticism from the immortals, and allows it to continue unchecked, the master of Juren Mountain, who holds the City Lord's Seal, will inevitably suffer continuous damage to their control over the City Lord's Qi. In the future, there will be more and more damage, and besides their own cultivation, their suppression of the subsequent deputy city lords and even the Nine-Yuan Order Master will inevitably weaken. If there is a deputy city lord, they might even usurp power and reverse the roles of master and deputy, completing the exchange of seals between them.The relationship between the City Lord and Deputy City Lord is not fixed; it hinges on recognition from both the immortals and the Honghao Heavenly Court.

Jiuren Mountain originally thought that with a single order, the Lotus Avatar would obediently follow orders. However, he never expected the Lotus Avatar to rather forgo the position of Master and refuse to execute the command.

...And Mount Jiuren discovered that besides recalling the position of the Lotus Avatar's master, they seemed unable to do anything else to him. The Lotus Avatar was right; his biggest reliance in Jiuyang City was still the Seven Great Sword Guardians. As long as the Seven Great Sword Guardians were there, Mount Jiuren truly couldn't do anything about the Lotus Avatar. The Seven Great Sword Guardians have always only recognized those who had inherited the sword intent, let alone the city lord, even if the Heavenly Emperor came, there would be no difference.

Without the lotus avatar, Ren Ling was no longer in charge. Right now, heavenly soldiers from all over were being dispatched to Luo'ang Prison by Tianxing Palace. Even if they might not be able to kill Dongfang Dan Saint, the entrance to Luo'ang Prison, where the Ghost Demon army could pour out in large numbers, is still within the control of the heavenly soldiers.

Gumo said, "As for other places, although they can accommodate small groups of demon or immortal armies, it's difficult to shake the overall situation. If it weren't for the limited exits, even with just Jiuyang City's strength alone, it wouldn't be enough to stop the many demons from Luoyangyu."

The army dispatched from Tianxing Palace will eventually retreat. He fought in Luoyang Prison, but Jiuyang City had no Golden Immortal-level powerhouses stationed there for the long term. At that time, Luoyang Prison would likely become a place with leaks everywhere. Jiuyang City has a large number of immortal troops stationed there, its foundation is not something that can be shaken by three or two Golden Immortal-level old demons.

However, this is based on the premise of having an equal powerful force present. If there's no equal counterpart, then even with Jiuyang City's abundance of blood qi, it will gradually be depleted by the enemy's group prison tactics as they continuously suffer losses.

Suddenly, Jiuren Mountain began to re-examine the exchange of interests between himself and Tiangong. He found himself in a difficult situation, unable to move forward or retreat. Embarrassingly, there were no other Jinxian realm powerhouses who could replace the Lotus avatar's position at present. Even if he had exchanged with Tiangong, Jiuren Mountain would never agree to have his position as City Lord shaken.

"Nineyo City can't do without the presence of nameless fellow Daoists. Such casual remarks should not be made in the future. The matter of capturing immortals is temporarily put on hold."

After Jiuren Mountain's tale was finished, his figure directly dissipated into nothingness. The jade disc also flew back to the immortal official who had come to deliver the message.

The fairy official glared at the lotus doppelganger with indignation, then turned and left.

The lotus avatar watched as the other party disappeared one after the other, a thoughtful expression on his face. Although this Nine-Ren Mountain was the lord of the city, he was able to bend and stretch, and he was indeed a person of character. At present, although he still allowed him to lead the position of the Lord of Jiuyang Order, it is estimated that he is already thinking of ways to replace him.

But that's not too important. As long as he has the Seven Town Swords, his position in Jiuyang City will remain unshakable, even Jiuren Mountain won't be able to touch him. Now that the conflict has been made public, with Jiuren Mountain's cunning, it will be difficult to repair the relationship back to how it was.

It is estimated that Juren Mountain will definitely replace the Lotus avatar as soon as it gets the chance.

Although the immortal army of Jiuyang City and the vast majority of immortal citizens remained as they always were, oblivious to anything out of the ordinary, the division within Jiuyang City was an unavoidable reality. Unless another deputy city lord could replace Lotus's avatar in the future.

Whether it's the city lord or deputy city lord, they are not appointed by a single edict from the Heavenly Court. Even a Daoist cultivator can only stay in Jiuyang City for a short time. Not all Golden Immortal-level powerhouses can reside in one place at will. If they are careless, they may clash with the celestial energy of the fairy realm. At best, their cultivation will stagnate, and at worst, they will attract a heavenly tribulation prematurely. Even a powerful Golden Immortal might be able to retreat from the front lines of the demon army, but for those who have cultivated to this level, enemies are not only on the front line. The ever-present threat of a heavenly tribulation is a more fatal danger for many Golden Immortals.
