Xu Mingjie and Xu Mingguang brothers opened their mouths in horror, trying to shout, but found that they could not make any sound. Their skin seemed to have lost their moisture, and quickly shriveled like dry bark. This way, I was very imagining when Ye Yan used the defensive martial arts of Dead Wood Armor. However, the appearance was even more terrifying than Ye Yan's use of Dead Wood Armor.

Afterwards, Xu Mingjie and Xu Mingguang brothers had no rest at all, and their bodies had completely dried up, just like dead trees without vitality. At the same time, Zhao Chengxian had been dead for a long time. After all, his cultivation level was much weaker than Xu Mingjie and Xu Mingguang brothers, so he naturally could not hold on for a longer time.

After the black light dissipated, the three of them fell straight to the ground and fell to pieces. After a breeze blew, they turned into ashes and nothing could be left behind. However, there was a hint of rosy on Ye Quan's face. The essence of life of the brothers Xu Mingjie and Zhao Chengxian had been absorbed by Ye Quan. Ye Yan is no longer the young boy who was inexperienced at the time, so he would not make a fuss. The essence of life of the warrior is also a very precious thing. Especially for Ye Quan's level, these essences of life are the purest energy! Absorbing these essences of life can effectively speed up his recovery.

Fortunately, Ye Quan did not kill innocent people because of this. Otherwise, his recovery speed would probably be faster. With Ye Quan's current strength, if he had attacked a certain Holy Martial Arts family, the other party would not be able to hold on. Fortunately, Ye Quan did not lose his conscience and still remembered that he was a member of humanity. If it were other villains, he would have been killed long ago and would have been bleeding.

"Great grandpa, the county magistrate of Shannan County was killed, nothing will happen, right?" Ye Yan asked with some concern.

"What can happen? His death is vacant. I'm afraid the entire Shannan County will fall into trouble. If you didn't want to be too high-profile, your grandfather could have fought for it!" Ye Quan said.

Ye Yan was relieved. Then, Ye Quan grabbed Ye Yan, and a black light flashed, their figure disappeared again, and had returned to the city lord's mansion. No one knew. Just outside Qingyang City, two powerful Wu Zun and a strong man from the top of Wu Zong had already died, and they were the county magistrates of Shannan County. If this was spread, it would cause an uproar.

In the following time, Qingyang City and even the entire Shannan County were very calm. Zhao Chengxian had just disappeared and did not attract attention. After all, for warriors of this level, it would take a long time to retreat once. Occasionally, a few days of disappearance are not a big deal.

However, the people of the Zhao family then found something wrong. In the past, when Zhao Chengxian was going to retreat, they would often inform them in advance. But this time there was no news. The people of the Zhao family panicked and hurried to the secret room where Zhao Chengxian was in seclusion, but there was still no one inside. Next, the people of the Zhao family looked for many places but did not find any trace of Zhao Chengxian. Suddenly, the people of the Zhao family realized that something was wrong. Generally speaking, even if Zhao Chengxian was going to travel far, they would explain it clearly. But now, there was no one silently, and it was very likely that there was a problem.

Next, Zhao Chengxian's eldest son ordered the blockade of news and strictly prohibited the spread of Zhao Chengxian. Otherwise, the Zhao family would inevitably cause a catastrophe. In recent years, the Zhao family has offended many people, and there are more people who are eyeing the position of the county magistrate. Once these people learn that Zhao Chengxian is missing, what will happen, it will be very difficult to predict.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The news about Zhao Chengxian's life spread a few days later. Suddenly, the enemies and opponents of the Zhao family could not sit still and began various tests. However, Zhao Chengxian was just the one, not dead, so everyone dared not do too much. However, no matter how they tried, Zhao Chengxian had never appeared. This made everyone feel much more relieved. It was obvious that Zhao Chengxian was really missing, at least not in Shannan County. Some bold opponents immediately launched an attack on the Zhao family and snatched the Zhao family's territory.

Over the years, the Zhao family has been supported by Zhao Chengxian alone. None of the family members have broken through to the Wuzong in martial arts cultivation and cannot take on the responsibility. However, the Zhao family has become the county magistrate of Shannan County for so many years, and the accumulation over the years has been very terrifying. They launched a stubborn counterattack against the enemy's attack. Suddenly, smoke from the entire Shannan County rose everywhere. As more and more enemies participated in the counterattack of the Zhao family, the life of the Zhao family became increasingly difficult.

At the same time, Qingyang City could not calm down. Zhao Chengxian disappeared, and the major forces in Shannan County fought for the position of the county magistrate. Shannan County has dozens of cities, and the county magistrate's full strength is obviously much bigger than the city magistrate, which makes the Ye family unable to hold back. Although Qingyang City and even their Ye family, among the many cities in Shannan County, are just low-level families. However, this has not had any impact on their ambitions.

. Everyone seemed to have been blinded by the benefits that could be brought by the county magistrates. Fortunately, Ye Yuanshan was still sober after all, and knew his weight and could not compete with those old forces in a short period of time. However, this could not resist the strong demands of Ye Zhenxian and others! In the end, Ye Yuanshan decided to hold a family meeting of the Ye family so that he could listen to everyone's opinions and then decide whether to participate in the competition for the position of the county magistrate of Shannan County.

In the hall of the city lord's mansion, Ye Yuanshan was sitting at the top, and the butler Ye Quan stood beside him. On both sides of him were the three brothers Ye Zhenxian and the others. However, Ye Yan also had a position, just to the left of Ye Yuanshan, and unlike other third generations of the Ye family, there was no seat. Obviously, in Ye Yuanshan's mind, Ye Yan had no longer regarded Ye Yan as an ordinary third generation child. This made the third generation of the Ye family very dissatisfied, but it could not be expressed. After all, they were too different from Ye Yan.

"Let's talk about it! Now the entire Shannan County is in chaos, and the Zhao family is in a difficult situation to fight with all forces. Should our Ye family and Qingyang City join in?" Ye Yuanshan asked.

"My father, I think we should join in. Only by joining in can we achieve greater benefits. Now that Zhao Chengxian is missing, the Zhao family is vulnerable. Although our Ye family is not the strongest, if it is operated well, even if it cannot win the position of county magistrate, it can still obtain a larger territory. Therefore, I think our Ye family should join in with all our strength." Ye Zhenxian said first. Now the specific affairs of the Ye family are handled by him. Although he is forced to divide some power out, he is still in power in general. If the Ye family's territory expands, his power will be even greater. Therefore, he can't wait to hope that the Ye family can join in.

"Yes! My father, we should join in. If we can seek one or two cities, our Ye family will definitely have a great increase in strength!" Ye Yan's second uncle, Ye Zhenjie, also spoke. Now Ye Zhenxian has the final say in Qingyang City. Even if he has some power now, he is far from comparable to Ye Zhenxian. However, if the Ye family can obtain other cities, he may be able to go out to serve as the city lord of a city, so naturally he doesn't have to look at Ye Zhenxian's expression anymore.

Ye Zhenwu doesn't care. He focuses on martial arts practice. Now he is most concerned about when he can break through to the Martial Emperor. He doesn't care much about the expansion of the Ye family's power. Of course, if the Ye family wants to participate, it doesn't matter. In that case, he can still go through a lot of battles, which is also very helpful for his breakthrough.

Although the third generation of the Ye family did not speak, their eyes were beating with eager eyes. It seems that although they are young, they are still very eager to expand the power of the big family.

"Ye Yan, what is your point of view?" Ye Yuanshan asked.

"Grandpa, do you think the position of a county magistrate in a county can be decided by us? Without the consent of the Ximen family, who can truly hold the position of a county magistrate?" Ye Yan said. Although he did not say it clearly, the meaning of unwillingness to participate in the Ye family in his words was already very obvious.

"Ye Yan, how could you say that? Even if you can't take the position of county magistrate, it would be good to seize a few more cities!" Ye Zhenxian said quickly. He knew Ye Yan's position in Ye Yuanshan's mind. If Ye Yan spoke, maybe Ye Yuanshan would really adopt his opinion.

"Yes, Ye Yan. Only when the family's sphere of influence expands can our Ye family flourish!" Ye Zhenjie also said quickly, afraid that Ye Yuanshan would make the decision not to participate in the competition, and then his dream of a city lord would be completely shattered.

However, Ye Yan shook his head. "The Ye family has just become the city lord of Qingyang City for two years. Our own foundation is unstable. How can we compete with other forces? Besides, the entire Ye family is only supported by grandpa. But how many emperor-level strong men are there in the entire Shannan County? If the Ye family participates, they will probably suffer heavy losses." Ye Yan said.

"Hmph! I really don't know how Northern College teaches students? Why did he become less and less courageous after a trip?" Ye Hua said disdainfully. He was very dissatisfied with Ye Yan. Although he eased the relationship in the past, he now became resentful of Ye Yan again.
