Chapter 814: Dragon Head Boss

Tu Xiao’an’s indifferent demeanor prompted the Boss of City B to cough twice before speaking. “Let’s all introduce ourselves first. My name is Du Jun, Director of the Demon Management Bureau here.” Anyone invited to this private room was definitely on the same side.

“Shao Qiu, Boss of City E,” the woman, who looked somewhat like a college student, introduced herself. As she spoke, she gave Tu Xiao’an a profound look. For a woman to become the Director of an entire city was no easy feat. In terms of official status, Shao Qiu was equivalent to Luo Ziyun; she possessed exceptional methods.

“Yan Guan, Boss of City W.”

“Qu Ping, Boss of City Q.”

Aside from Du Jun, who managed a Tier 1 city, the cities overseen by these two men and one woman were all Tier 2. Their strengths were all at Level 38, typical High Rank War Gods. Although their methods differed, anyone capable of becoming the Boss of a city was no ordinary individual.

After everyone in the private room finished their introductions, Tu Xiao’an nodded, indicating he had noted them. Even Wu Tianyi, the Boss of Wencheng, was Tu Xiao’an’s War Servant. Tu Xiao’an truly didn’t take these big-shot Directors seriously. To put it arrogantly, these people were on the same level as his War Servant—clearly, there was a gap between them and him. Who was he? The Snake Emperor of the Yaoling Mountain Range. Just uttering that title would scare them to death. Never mind. Being new here, he wouldn’t show off or intimidate anyone. He would conceal his merit and fame.

Since Tu Xiao’an only nodded without introducing himself, the four Bosses present were stunned. They waited, but after a long while, Tu Xiao’an offered no follow-up. They wondered what he was nodding for. Damn it, he needed to introduce himself! Everyone else had shared their backgrounds, so why wouldn’t he? What was the deal? Was his status that much more impressive? Was he some official Division Chief or something?

“My friend, could you please introduce yourself?” Du Jun, the Boss of City B, was forced to ask. He was already a stranger to them, yet he still wouldn’t introduce himself. Did he have any self-awareness at all?

Now that someone had directly spoken to him, Tu Xiao’an acted as if he had just realized what was expected. He spoke up with forced reluctance. “Tu Xiao’an, from City X’s…”

“Isn’t the Boss of City X that extraordinary Immortal-cultivating woman, Lord Luo? She just took office.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I remember it being Lord Luo too.”

Luo Ziyun’s prestige within the government and the Martial Cultivation Realm was currently massive—it had practically reached the point where everyone knew her name. This was because, in the minds of the masses, she was the one who closed the Skeleton Mountain Ruins in City X. She had achieved fame in a single battle. Moreover, Luo Ziyun was renowned for her beauty. These Bosses had long been eager to catch a glimpse of Goddess Luo’s true appearance. So why did a man show up claiming to be the Boss of City X? Was he a fraud?

“I am the representative of City X,” Tu Xiao’an said, rolling his eyes. Why were they in such a rush? He hadn’t even finished his sentence.

Uh…

A representative? What the hell was this?

Especially upon hearing this, Du Jun changed his expression. His face turned pale, and he nearly cursed out loud.

“Lord Luo sure puts on airs. We’re all Bosses of our respective cities, yet she only sent a representative. What’s the meaning of this? Isn’t this a slap to Brother Dou’s face?” the beautiful Boss of City E, Shao Qiu, said with thinly veiled sarcasm. It was a bit like kicking someone while they were down. As women who were both Bosses of a city, formless comparisons naturally arose between them. She had shown up personally, while the other party merely sent a representative. It made it seem as though Luo Ziyun was superior to her.

“A representative is fine as well. Brother Tu looks like an expert. To be sent by Lord Luo, he must have exceptional qualities.” Although Du Jun was also a bit annoyed, he was the host, after all, and the others were here to help him. It wouldn’t be good to dwell on this, so he could only laugh it off to smooth things over.

“I thought I’d be able to see Goddess Luo’s beautiful face. It seems my wishful thinking missed the mark.” The Bosses of City W and City Q wore looks of disappointment.

“Am I not a beauty? Am I not Goddess level? Looking at me is enough,” Shao Qiu said. She appeared poised and gorgeous, but she had a fiery temper. The two men immediately gave sheepish smiles and said nothing more.

Du Jun gestured for everyone to get along. When he sent out the summons in their WeChat group, many Bosses had claimed to be too busy to come. After waiting all day, only these three—plus one representative—had shown up. Everyone knew that City B was currently a hot potato. Let alone the World Tree Ruins, just the current Ghost Demons were giving many people a headache. Moreover, the people who came were only here to help Du Jun resolve the Ghost Demon issue and see exactly what kind of Fierce Beasts these Ghost Demons were. As for the World Tree Ruins, they wouldn’t get involved—and they couldn’t, even if they wanted to. Who wasn’t a busy person?

Du Jun smiled again. “There’s one more who should be arriving soon. The other Bosses have already informed me that they won’t be able to make it.” The few people in the private room offered polite, empty smiles. Even the Boss of a Tier 1 city had limited face.

Suddenly, the private room door was pushed open again. A handsome man in a crisp suit walked in. He wore a confident smile on his face, and every movement he made exuded great bearing and imposing presence.

“Oh, everyone is here. You must have been waiting just for me. My name is Ling Yihang, the Boss of City S. Hello, everyone.”

City S was a Tier 1 city. The name Ling Yihang left the people in the private room greatly astonished. He was clearly very famous, but as for Tu Xiao’an, he didn’t know anyone. He couldn’t care less about whoever these nobodies were. He just sat there, stroking Xiaoqi’s fox fur.

“Brother Snake Emperor, that man is so handsome! And his aura is terrifying. It seems he isn’t much inferior to my older sister. There really are so many human experts,” Xiaoqi Mengqi said via voice transmission. After all, everyone in this private room was, at the very least, on par with a Deep Mountain Demon King.

“Handsome? Is he as handsome as me?” Tu Xiao’an shot the White Fox a sidelong glance.

“Naturally, Brother Snake Emperor is the most handsome in the Cosmos,” Xiaoqi trembled, sensing she had misspoken.

At this moment, Tu Xiao’an also subtly observed Ling Yihang. As soon as the man arrived, the other Bosses took the initiative to stand up, shake his hand, and greet him. The only woman, Shao Qiu, looked at Ling Yihang with an adoring gaze. He secretly thought that this man must have a massive background and was likely more than just the Boss of a Tier 1 city.

In reality, there were more human experts than those in the Yaoling Mountain Range. Looking at it this way, the Bosses of Tier 1 cities should all be Level 39 entities, while Tier 2 city Bosses were Level 38 High Rank War Gods. Just think about how many cities there were in the country. In contrast, the Yaoling Mountain Range only had a few Deep Mountain Demon Kings, and Tu Xiao’an had already wiped out most of them. The Yaoling Mountain Range only held the advantage in the sheer number of Cultivated Creatures. Through sheer numbers, ants could bite to death creatures that appear as massive as elephants. Going by quantity, human Martial Cultivators fell far short of the Yaoling Mountain Range.

“Brother Ling, thank you for coming to help,” Du Jun said, his face now full of smiles. Inviting this man over was like bringing an entire group. Who would dare say the Boss of City B had no face?

Ling Yihang said with a smile, “Brother Dou, why are you being so polite with me? We came from the same village, after all.”

The others wondered in surprise if they were from the same village and were fellow townsmen. The other Bosses beside them were startled. They hadn’t expected the two to share such a close relationship. No wonder he had come.

Ling Yihang was ranked in the top ten among humanity’s official War Gods. Moreover, he was under fifty years old—a genius among geniuses, hailed as someone rarely seen in a millennium. Despite him calling Du Jun his older brother, Du Jun’s age was already no less than three hundred years. Although both were Level 39, it was said that this Ling Yihang possessed an Elemental Ability and had mastered various High Rank Techniques. His entire Cultivation had reached Perfection; he could be considered at the Half Step Ascension stage. Among the Bosses of Tier 1 cities, he was considered at the level of a head Dragon.
