Big Sister Bell didn’t bring a group of underlings and walk inside in a grandiose manner. She only brought along Xiao Hong, and she was wearing a black silk dress today. Women normally wouldn’t dare to wear black long dresses which might make them look older, but when worn on Big Sister Bell, it made her look even more graceful, poised, sexy, and charming while she radiated splendidly.

She walked over in an easy and relaxed manner while having a light smile on the corner of her mouth like she was a courtesan in the Hundred Flower Inn. However, no one dared to reveal any perverse intentions and stood up to welcome her with respect.

“Big Sister Bell!”

Chief Leng forced out a smile while the others bowed as well. Jiang Yi stood up and said, “Big Sister Bell, take a seat.”

“No, thank you!”

Big Sister Bell smiled as though a hundred flowers were blooming, which illuminated the hall with light. Her beautiful eyes scanned the place as she spoke in a soft voice, “I am here to give my vote to support Xiao Dongzi 1. He had followed under me for many years, and he might not have made much progress in his cultivation, but his morality is still considered fine.

“Alright, you guys can continue. I am just passing through. I have just mingled with the City Lord for an hour and am a little tired. I shall return first!”

Once she finished speaking, she nodded to Jiang Yi and Yang Dong before walking outside. When she reached the entrance, she suddenly recalled something and indifferent swept a glance at Chief Ying before saying, “That’s right… when I was talking to City Lord just now, it seems like there are some commanders who might be transferred within these two days? Commander Lu Han and Lu Di will be transferred over to White Water City? Could something have happened to the two of them? Or did they offend the City Lord?”

Big Sister Bell then drifted away, leaving everyone flabbergasted. Especially Chief Leng and the others who were staring at Big Sister Bell’s back view blankly as though their souls had departed.

Commander Lu Di was going to be transferred away? Offended the City Lord?

These two questions filled up the minds of Chief Leng and the others. Big Sister Bell might have spoken these two statements casually, but it was like a thunderbolt strike which thoroughly made them panic. If Big Sister Bell was saying the truth, then Chief Leng would lose his most powerful backer.

Would someone like Big Sister Bell tell a lie? Would she dare to spread such false rumors? If this was to reach the ears of the City Lord, she would definitely die without any burial grounds.

So…

This matter was absolutely true, and Big Sister Bell had interrupted at the perfect moment. She said this with an obvious message to everyone: Your biggest backer had already been taken out by me. I am the true dictator of Sky Thunder City!

Chief Leng and the others were making use of Commander Lu Di’s presence, but Big Sister Bell had pulled the carpet from under, transferring their backer away. Weren’t they very cocky? Continue being cocky then.

Jiang Yi laughed; Niu Deng and Yang Dong had laughed, too. They originally thought that they were going to lose thoroughly tonight, but they didn’t expect for Big Sister Bell to have such a move, making everyone completely helpless. Without support from Lu Di, Jiang Yi and Big Sister Bell would be able to work together and play everyone effortlessly, ruling over Sky Thunder City.

The corner of Chief Ying’s mouth twitched. He originally wanted to wait for Big Sister Bell to leave before immediately opposing to Yang Dong’s promotion. But now, his mouth was filled with agony as he was at a complete loss.

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi let out a faint laugh and said, “Chief Ying. The votes are two against two now. It will all be up to your vote!”

Yang Dong interrupted with a cold voice, “It seems like Chief Ying is looking down on me, Yang Dong? My guess is that he will certainly cast the opposing vote!”

“I…”

Chief Ying even had the feeling of wanting to die. If he dared to cast the opposing vote and when Commander Lu Di had been transferred out, he would certainly be the first person to die.

He swallowed his saliva while taking a glance at Chief Leng, only to see that Chief Leng’s eyes were also at a loss as he had completely panicked. Chief Ying had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, “Chief Yang must be joking. I will definitely support you. I agree for Chief Yang to promotion.”

Three against two!

Jiang Yi’s smile was even more intense as he stood up and said, “Alright, the voting is complete. With more agreeing votes than dissenting votes, Yang Dong will be chief from now on. Congratulations, Chief Yang.”

“Congratulations, Chief Yang!”

Smiling Tiger, Chief Li, Big Brother Dong, and the others stood up to congratulate. Especially, Smiling Tiger’s beaming smile which was so passionate that people would think he was his blood-related brother.

“My thanks to everyone!”

Yang Dong stood up to reciprocate to the congratulations and bowed with both hands to Jiang Yi. “Many thanks, Chief Jiang.”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi was in a very good mood. He took a glance at Chief Leng and mocked. “Chief Leng doesn’t look too happy, huh? You actually didn’t congratulate Chief Yang’s promotion?”

“…”

Chief Leng’s face twitched as he forced a smile which looked even grim as if his own father had passed away. He caused spoke with cupped hands, “Chief Yang, congratulations.”

Yang Dong was an honest person as he didn’t even reply politely and simply responded with two scoffs. Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke again, “Since we have already confirmed one of the chief’s positions, we might as well settle for the last spot, too, shouldn’t we? I recommend Niu Deng. It is needless to say about Niu Deng’s strength and morality as everyone should already know it. Same old rules, let’s vote!”

“Uh?”

Everyone rolled their eyes as even Bu Jun, Meng Tian, and the others couldn’t look on any further. Could Jiang Yi be even more shameless…?

What strength did Niu Deng have? He was just a lower-leveled Heaven Monarch, which could casually pick out from the Hundred Flower Inn. Who could say anything clearly about morality? Cast a vote? Was there even a need, now that no one would dare to oppose? Would it be the same to recommend that Fatty Qian if Jiang Yi was to recommend Niu Deng?

“Why isn’t anyone talking?”

Jiang Yi spoke coldly, “I will cast the first vote. I approve. Chief Yang, what do you think?”

“I approve of Brother Niu!”

“Big Brother Hu?”

“I approve!”

“Big Brother Dong?”

“I approve…”

“Chief Li?”

“I approve!”

“…”

There wasn’t even a need to ask the rest as there were already five approving votes, and it was useless even if Chief Leng and the others gave their dissenting vote. Once Niu Deng successfully promoted and received all the congratulations, his cousin brother—Niu Wang—smiled so much that his lips couldn’t join back together.

Niu Deng might be a puppet chief, but he was still a chief, wasn’t he? He had followed Jiang Yi for over a month and had turned from a small underling into a chief. The disparity was just too drastic, and any other individual would probably go insane from joy.

“Is everything settled? Chief Jiang, I still have things to attend to. I shall take my leave first!”

There were a few parties that were happy while others were not as happy. Chief Leng’s face was even darker than Chief Hei’s when he stood up and left. He urgently wanted to verify with Lu Di was truly going to be transferred. If it was true, he had to quickly find a new backer. Otherwise, he would be gradually annexed by Jiang Yi.

Chief Li and the others left one after the other, leaving behind Bu Jun and the elders from the two banished clans. The three of them looked at one another and stood up to bowed towards Jiang Yi with cupped hands and said, “Chief Jiang, we are willing to serve you. As long as we have food to eat and we can continue to survive.”

The ten chiefs were all in place, and they naturally didn’t have the qualifications to be the new chief. They had thrown the thought away. Bu He, forty Heaven Monarchs, and 300 Vajra Realm martial artists were just eliminated this afternoon.

Since they couldn’t become chief, they had to pledge their allegiance to a great faction. Jiang Yi and Big Sister Bell were undoubtedly the best choices as it was evident from tonight’s performance that the two of them were definitely becoming the dictators of the city.

Jiang Yi nodded and pointed to Yang Dong and Niu Deng while saying, “In the future, the three of you will be led by them. As long as you are obedient, I guarantee your safety. If you dare to have any intention to rebel, then you shall suffer the same fate as Bu He.”

Niu Deng was under Jiang Yi while Yang Dong was under Big Sister Bell.

When the two of them took in the three groups, it meant that Jiang Yi and Big Sister Bell each got half the people, expanding their influence. These three groups had a total of over 20,000 men, and they might not have a lot of experts as many of them had been killed by Jiang Yi, but they were still rather significant.

After leaving the matters of incorporating and integrating the new members to Niu Deng and Yang Dong, Jiang Yi left swiftly. He didn’t go back to his own courtyard but headed straight for the eastern side of the city and into Big Sister Bell’s courtyard. He was preparing to report the results to her and inquire about the situation.

Who would have expected for Big Sister Bell to immediately be beaming when she saw Jiang Yi enter? She then said, “Chief Jiang, I have a big business here. I just wonder if you would dare to take it. If you do, I guarantee that you will be able to accumulate 100 million merits in two years, and you will be able to reside and cultivate in Gods Bestow City!”
