Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: King of the Twin Cities

For the people of Shanyun City, the death of Yue Ying, the King of Shanyun City, along with the death of more than a dozen masters and over 300 Elite Guards, everyone witnessed Yang Xiao’s bravery on the scene and were naturally intimidated early on.

Yang Xiao proclaimed to everyone that he would no longer pursue and kill the remaining people and treat everyone equally. Xia Luo praised wholeheartedly, showing both grace and power. The hearts of the people of Shanyun City had already been shaken.

At least, they could find no reason to continue resisting Yang Xiao. No one wanted to sacrifice their lives for a futile resistance. What Yang Xiao sought was unity, not taking their lives or lowering their quality of life.

A few leaders whispered among themselves and then put forward a young man named Wang Shu.

”Yang Xiao, Brother Yang, if you can keep the promise you made just now, not harming the people of Shanyun City and let us continue our current lives, we agree to accept your merger.”

Yang Xiao nodded and said loudly:

”Brothers, I, Yang Xiao, keep my word. Everyone here can bear witness. If I harm you innocently and do not treat the subordinates of Shanyun City and Nanmu City equally, I, Yang Xiao, do not deserve a good end!”

With these words from Yang Xiao, the people of Shanyun City immediately shouted:

”Good! We acknowledge Yang Xiao as the new King of Shanyun City!”

Thus, led by Wang Shu, more than a thousand people immediately knelt in the snow.

This organization in Shanyun City was founded by Yue Ying and had a strong Jianghu atmosphere, so when Yang Xiao made his pledge, it immediately touched everyone, and everyone finally let down their last guard.

Yang Xiao, Xia Luo, and others glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

Yang Xiao and Xia Luo, among others, had established Nanmu City, mainly comprising university students without this kneeling Jianghu ritual. Yang Xiao immediately jumped off his Flame Horse, helped up Wang Shu and several leaders in the front and sincerely said:

”We are all family from now on, no need to be formal, everyone please rise.”

”Yes, thank you, boss! Brothers, greet the boss!”

Wang Shu led the calling of boss, and the others followed by saying:

”Greet the boss!”

Yang Xiao and Xia Luo and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Shanyun City had a significant number of Elite Soldiers, and if they refused to surrender and kept fighting to the death, even if they could eliminate the opposition, their side would likely suffer severe casualties and conquering Shanyun City would become meaningless.

What is the most precious in the apocalypse? Talent!

That’s why Yang Xiao initially went after Yue Ying determinedly because only with Yue Ying’s death would the others lose the will to resist.

Then, Yang Xiao used a combination of soft and hard tactics, lowered his stance, appeased the others, promising not to pursue and kill, not changing everyone’s living conditions, treating everyone equally, etc.

Eventually, he got the people on the opposing side to surrender.

The thousand-plus warriors on both sides also relaxed a breath, after all, no one wants to fight to the death.

At this moment, a shouting was heard from the distance, and a black spot appeared in the sky.

Huang Wen led the Flying People Team to ascend quickly, and moments later flew to Yang Xiao’s side:

”Yang Xiao, they are from Shanyun City, at least three to four thousand, probably here to fight.”

Yang Xiao nodded and looked at Wang Shu.

Wang Shu, having just pledged allegiance, naturally needed to demonstrate his status in Shanyun City, and immediately patted his chest and said:

”Boss, don’t worry, leave it to me, the real Elite Soldiers of Shanyun City are all here.”

Wang Shu gestured towards the thousand-plus people behind him and continued:

”The people who came from nearby bases have been gathered from surrounding strongholds, I’ll go coordinate.”

Yang Xiao nodded and said to Wang Shu and a few leaders:

”You guys were Yue Ying’s trusted aides before. Go together, tell them what just happened here, let them return the way they came and continue what they were doing before, just bring their leaders over.”

Wang Shu and others nodded and ran off.

Huang Wen’s team of three hundred Flying People Team members all ascended, staying alert. Xia Luo, Long Yongjun, Zhao Qiang, and others also had their teams ready for combat at any time.

However, the expression of the more than a thousand people from Shanyun City across them seemed very relaxed, unconcerned.

The shouting from the distance grew closer and closer, and after a while, it quieted down, presumably because Wang Shu and others had already stopped those people.

More than ten minutes later, Wang Shu walked over with a dozen young men.

”This is the King of Nanmu City, now also our new King of Shanyun City, Yang Xiao. Pay your respects to the boss.”

Those youths glanced at Yang Xiao and scanned the people around, confirming that over a thousand Elite Soldiers of Shanyun City were present, showing a respectful demeanor toward Yang Xiao and others.

These individuals were the leaders of several strongholds around the Shanyun City area. They usually led their teams to Star Moon Lake to fish for Ice Fish. After Yang Xiao and others attacked Shanyun City, Yue Ying’s subordinates had already sent the Flying People Team to spread the word and gathered them to jointly resist Yang Xiao’s invasion.

These people belonged to the second-tier forces of Shanyun City, generally of average strength, their advantage being only in their large numbers.

The resources they obtained from fishing Ice Fish were only half theirs to keep, with the remainder handed over to Yue Ying.

The youths saw a pile of bodies behind Yang Xiao, which had already turned to ice, but the blurred bloodstains were still quite gruesome.

Everyone knelt down together and called out to Yang Xiao:

”Pay respects to the boss!”

Yang Xiao nodded and said:

”Yue Ying is dead, from now on I am the new King of Shanyun City, your lives proceed as usual, do what you must do, unaffected,

Listen up, everyone, when I was in Nanmu City, I had three rules, starting today, the same applies to everyone in Shanyun City: murder, robbery, and insulting women are punishable by death!

No matter who it is, if you break these three rules, do not come to me for mercy!”

As soon as Yang Xiao announced this, the people of Shanyun City buzzed in their minds, especially the Elite Guards, who suddenly revered Yang Xiao immensely.

Yue Ying, as the King before, and some of his followers did not handle these matters well, arbitrarily killing in anger, seizing others’ property, and forcibly taking control of beautiful women.

It can be said that the ”Three Rules” Yang Xiao enacted on the spot immediately won him widespread favor.

”Wang Shu, later you will communicate these three rules to all people of Shanyun City.”

”Yes, boss.”

After speaking, Yang Xiao proceeded with Xia Luo, Wang Shu, and others towards the Genetic Store in front of Star Moon Tower Square. The store owner, seeing Yang Xiao enter, immediately said with a smile:

”Congratulations, I never expected you to become the king of both cities so quickly.”

Yang Xiao immediately humbly clasped his hands and said:

”It’s all thanks to your support.”

”Hehe, we at the Genetic Store have always been neutral in your matters, not assisting any side. Well, now that you have killed Yue Ying and also earned the support of most people in Shanyun City, I now officially affirm your position as the King of Shanyun City on behalf of the Genetic Store.”

After the owner of the Genetic Store finished speaking, he pointed at Yang Xiao, and a gentle glow immediately enveloped Yang Xiao. After a moment, the light slowly receded from his body, gathering above his head to form a sphere, which slowly detached from the top of his head, soared out of the Genetic Store and rose into the sky.

The glowing sphere continuously expanded, growing larger and larger, eventually rising dozens of meters into the air, where it burst with a bang, spreading dazzling colored light throughout the sky, reaching farther and farther, and finally vanishing into the endless sky.

At the same time, the people of Nanmu City felt a tremor in the sky, followed by a seeming increase in brightness.

”Good, now Nanmu City and Shanyun City are united as one, and you have also received the protection of your King’s Light. Congratulations!” said the owner of the Genetic Store.

Yang Xiao immediately bowed in return to express his thanks.

Wang Shu, quick-witted, immediately prostrated himself and shouted:

”Pay respects to the King of Shanyun City!”

Others also knelt down and shouted in unison.

At that moment, the over a thousand Elite Guards outside Star Moon Tower Square knelt again and shouted:

”Pay respects to the King of Shanyun City!”

Long Yongjun and others were stunned, then also led the people of Nanmu City to kneel and shout:

”Pay respects to the King of Shanyun City, congratulations boss for becoming the king of both cities!”

The shouts were thunderous!

Hearing this, the people of Shanyun City also immediately changed their words to:

”Congratulations boss for becoming the king of both cities!”
