Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 335 Deputy City Lord

Over the manor lord's residence.

The battle was still raging on.

Huang Zheng was locked in an inseparable fight with the Slave King, a formidable fighter the Sha Family had bought from the slave market, who was also a death warrior.

Constantly on the line between life and death, a desperado by any name. Discover stories with novelbuddy

Fighting as if he had no regard for his own life.

Even if his cultivation was inferior to Huang Zheng's, he still managed to severely restrain his opponent.

Suddenly,

a beam of golden light descended from the sky.

Thud!

The golden trident pierced through the Slave King's body, splitting him in twain. Amidst a downpour of blood, Huang Baitao, stood above the heavens, his authoritative voice echoing throughout the entirety of Beast Emperor City, "Sha Kun is dead, surrender and you shall not be harmed!"

"Sha Kun is dead, surrender and you shall not be harmed!"

"Surrender and you shall not be harmed!"

The shouts came one after another from the people in the manor lord's residence, thundering through the air and leaving the powerhouses of the Sha line looking at each other in disbelief.

Apart from the death warriors of the Black Shark Guard.

All other powerhouses ceased their assaults, and some even turned their weapons against their former allies, aiding the manor lord's forces in a massacre of the Black Shark Guard. Blood rained down from the sky.

Tens of thousands from the Black Shark Guard were spared no mercy, all were slain.

Outside the manor lord's residence.

Huang Baitao stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him were Huang Zheng, Huang Yi, Huang Yuwei and Xiao Yi, and before him was a host of powerhouses who had sided with the Sha Family, including influential figures from large clans within Beast Emperor City and merchants with considerable strength.

At this moment, all the powerhouses were kneeling before Huang Baitao, filled with fear and trepidation.

Sha Kun was dead.

They had lost their backbone and could only surrender.

Huang Baitao's gaze was icy as he looked down at Huang Jinghong and his mother kneeling at the very front.

At that moment...

the mother and son duo were in tears, wailing loudly.

Huang Jinghong, choking with sobs, cried out in self-pity, "Father, spare my life! It was all mother's doing, you know it... I would never dare defy you, it was mother who made me harm you..."

"You, you…"

Ji Lingluo, furious at his lack of resistance and with a face twisted with rage, glared at Huang Jinghong and hissed through clenched teeth, "Husband, you mustn't believe this traitor. It was he who wanted to claim the throne of the manor lord. He feared you wouldn't pass the position to him, which is why he plotted with Sha Kun to harm you. He even resorted to threatening his own life; it was all his doing..."

"Bullshit, you vile woman, all this was clearly your idea!"

"You're the one bullshitting. I gave birth to you and raised you, and you dare to harm me?"

"Since you already gave birth to me and raised me, why can't you die for me?"

"I carried you in my womb for ten months, you should be the one to die for me..."

"You malicious woman..."

"You unfilial son..."

The two of them began to tear at each other, hitting one another.

Xiao Yi's eyelid twitched. "..."

What a bizarre pair indeed!

He glanced at Huang Yuwei beside him, "How could your father have married such a woman... it's good that you're not her daughter!"

Huang Yuwei: "..."

Huang Baitao: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Ahem!

Huang Baitao coughed lightly, casting Xiao Yi a sharp glare as if to say, 'Kid, do you think I don't need face?'

Xiao Yi gave an awkward smile.

Huang Baitao's cold gaze lingered on the quarreling pair, his eyes filled with disgust. He turned to Huang Yi beside him and said, "Elder, take these two away and deal with them according to family law!"

"Yes!"

Huang Yi stepped forward, grabbed the two of them, and left.

In the distance, their pitiful pleas for mercy could be heard.

Xiao Yi whispered, "Dealt with by family law? What's going to happen to them?"

Huang Yuwei shook her head.

Huang Zheng said, "Chop them into pieces and throw them into the Beast Emperor Sea to feed the fish!"

Hiss!

Xiao Yi took in a cold breath, the family law was harsh indeed!

In front of everyone...

The powerful followers who had rebelled with Sha Kun looked on as Huang Baitao showed no mercy even to his wife and children. They, one after another, were terrified and kowtowed frantically, "City Lord, we were also momentarily blinded by greed and led astray. Spare our lives, please!"

"We beg the City Lord for mercy..."

Huang Baitao's indifferent gaze swept over them as he said calmly, "Take your own lives! I will not involve your families."

The pleas for mercy ceased abruptly.

The crime of rebellion.

It's not to be taken lightly.

In the dynasty, it would merit the execution of the entire extended family.

Huang Baitao was indeed very merciful to only kill them. In that instant, everyone thanked him profusely, "Thank you, City Lord!"

"Thank you, City Lord..."

Thump, thump, thump!

The thousands of powerful individuals present all took their own lives.

Huang Baitao glanced at Huang Zheng, who nodded and said, "Don't worry, City Lord, I will have their bodies cleaned up immediately..."

"Hmm!"

Huang Baitao nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Yi, softness appearing on his face. He especially swept over Xiao Yi and Huang Yuwei back and forth with a smile, "Xiao Yi, if it weren't for you, Beast Emperor City would have changed hands. Ask for any reward you desire, and you shall have it!"

Xiao Yi was taken aback and scratched his head, "I haven't thought of what benefit I want yet!"

"How about... marrying my precious daughter to you?" Huang Baitao said jokingly.

"Father..."

Huang Yuwei's pretty face flushed as she chided.

Her eyes inadvertently stole a look at Xiao Yi. Apart from shyness, there was a hint of expectancy in her gaze.

Huang Baitao laughed heartily, "The little girl is shy, eh?" He looked at Xiao Yi, "What do you say? She's my only daughter. If you agree to this marriage, all of Beast Emperor City will be yours one day!"

Wow!

Xiao Yi was startled.

All of Beast Emperor City?

That dowry was indeed impressive!

However...

Xiao Yi shook his head with a wry smile, "Sorry, City Lord Huang, I already have a wife!"

"Hmm?"

Huang Baitao's brows drew together sharply.

A look of disappointment flitted through Huang Yuwei's eyes as she forced a smile, "Father, are you really so eager to marry off your daughter? I left your side when I was young and don't want to be married off so soon. I want to spend a few more years with you!"

Huang Baitao was well aware of Huang Yuwei's feelings and sighed inwardly, "How could I bear to marry off my precious daughter? Let's not talk about this anymore!"

"Mmm!"

Huang Yuwei nodded and stood obediently at his side.

Xiao Yi looked at Huang Yuwei gratefully. If she hadn't actively defused the situation, things could have become very awkward.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Baitao said, "In that case, with Sha Kun dead, Beast Emperor City just happens to need a Deputy City Lord. From now on, you will be the Deputy City Lord of Beast Emperor City. Your authority and status will be second only to mine. What do you think?"

Xiao Yi was surprised.

The overall strength of Beast Emperor City was comparable to the top ten sects; becoming the Deputy City Lord was no small privilege. Moreover, this would make the cooperation between his Xiaoshanhe Institute and Beast Emperor City in the future even more convenient.

Beast Emperor City controlled Beast Emperor Sea.

The resources were immensely abundant.

This was nothing but beneficial for Xiaoshanhe Institute!

Xiao Yi gave a respectful bow to Huang Baitao, "I accept your offer with thanks... Xiao Yi hereby expresses his gratitude to the City Lord!"

"Hahaha, with the relationship between you and Yuwei, there's no need for such formalities between us. You may call me Uncle..." He paused, then took out a Token—it was the City Lord's Token—and handed it to Xiao Yi, "From now on, you are the Deputy City Lord of Beast Emperor City. With this Token, you may exercise all the powers of the City Lord!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Xiao Yi said as he bowed his hands.

Huang Baitao said with a hearty laugh, "Come on, come on, we must drink well today..."
