His face turned red and white, and after hesitating for a few minutes, Barkley threw down a few words, and with a dark face, he no longer paid attention to Locke and others and flew towards the city lord's mansion.
After looking at the divine barrier outside the city wall, Locke said to the previous city guard leader: "Since it has been confirmed that we are not bandits attacking the city, remove this barrier."
“Waste is not a good habit.”
"Especially when I feel like everything you're wasting now is mine."
"Yes, sir, we will dismantle the magic circle immediately."
The leader of the city guard shuddered and immediately called on other soldiers to lift the magic circle covering the city of Barkley.
As the people who face Locke and Lord Barkley most directly, they all know in their hearts that this time, the position of Lord Barkley is really going to be replaced.
This Lord Locke is obviously much stronger than Lord Barkley.
It’s hard to say, it wouldn’t be surprising if Lord Barkley died in battle on the battlefield three days later.
They are stupid now to offend the future city lord.
After the divine barrier dissipated, Locke nodded to several city guards, then turned into a ball of water element and dissipated.
……
"Lord Locke, are we going into the city now?"
Seeing that Lord Locke had solved the trouble, Xiao Bai flew back to the demon formation and asked Locke.
"Why are we going into town now?"
"Didn't you hear that Lord Barkley just said that he would increase our entrance fee a hundred times?"
"But……"
Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Master Locke, haven't you already forced the Lord of Barkley to retreat?"
"Indeed, I challenged the Lord of Barkley City and forced him to retreat."
"But Xiaobai, the current mayor of Barkley is here. Since he said that, if we want to enter Barkley City, we must abide by the rules he set."
"This is the right granted by the Lord God to a city lord."
"but……"
Having said that, Locke glanced at the demons behind him and smiled.
"What are we?"
"We are the most elite 'demons' among the countless gods. In Yanfeng City, we have the privilege of not having to queue and pay the entrance fee."
"We must naturally have such privileges in other cities!"
"Everyone, do you want to enter the city now by paying a hundred times the entrance fee, or do you want to wait three days and enter the city in a grand and open manner without queuing and paying the entrance fee?"
"Hahaha, Lord Locke, do we even need to choose?"
"We are the demons of the Demon Castle!"
"That's right, Lord Locke. It's only three days. We can wait!"
After Locke finished speaking, the demons suddenly became excited.
Yes, they are the elite among the god-level strongmen, and the strongest "demons" among the strongmen of the same level.
How could one be willing to pay a hundred times the entrance fee to enter the city in such a miserable way?
"Very good, demon, that's the kind of spirit you should have."
"Then I order you to set up camp right here. Three days later, we will enter the city openly!"
"Yes, Lord Locke!"
……
There is nothing new under the sun.
Three days later, the news that a strong man was going to challenge the Lord of Barkley City quickly spread throughout Barkley City.
Along with this, there was also news of the brief confrontation between the strong man and Lord Barkley in front of the city wall.
Some people, out of curiosity, came out of the city to see what kind of powerful people had entered Barkley City.
However, when they saw the two hundred middle-level gods and five hundred lower-level gods, they all returned to the city quietly and did not dare to inquire any further.
In this day and age, even the city guards of Barkley City probably don’t have so many middle-level gods.
The person who came here is not kind!
Could a force that could send two hundred middle-level gods and five hundred lower-level gods to a small city to expand its influence be a simple force?
Maybe, in three days, the forces in Barkley City will begin to reshuffle.
As everyone was feeling anxious, three days passed in a flash.
On the third day, Locke came to the fighting arena early in the morning, folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
Locke didn't take a mere four-star demon-level upper god seriously, even if he was a divine beast with innate magical powers.
Unless, this Barkley is the super beast, the God-Eating Rat.
But unfortunately, it was not until more than a thousand evolutions later that the protagonist of the Panlong Universe was born, and there were only two God-eating rats in the world, Beirut and Beibei.
Similarly, all the big and small forces in the city of Barkley are paying close attention to this challenge from the city lord.
Before Locke arrived, the spectator seats around the fighting stage were already densely packed with people.
However, to everyone's disappointment, until the challenge time arrived, Lord Barkley did not appear on the fighting stage.
"Well, could it be that Lord Barkley is running away because he is afraid of the battle?"
At this time, a middle-level god said something like this, which immediately caused an uproar in the viewing platform.
In the Panlong Universe, any living being that reaches the holy realm gains endless life because they are contaminated by the mysterious aura of the laws.
In such a situation, the god-level strongmen, especially the upper-level god-level strongmen who stand at the pinnacle of the god-level, care most about their own reputation and face.
If a higher god has a bad reputation, even the Holy Land will look down on him.
As the lord of Barkley City who had ruled for hundreds of thousands of years, Barkley agreed to the challenge of others but fled without fighting. He would definitely be despised.
Not only that, if Barkley really escaped, Barkley's followers would also be ridiculed.
After all, these followers had a problem with their vision because they failed to see Barkley's true nature.
Amid the noise, some people began to rush towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Soon, news came from outside the City Lord's Mansion.
It is said that in order to fight Locke, Lord Barkley made instructions last night that he would go out to practice more powerful moves.
If he didn't come back by then, it would prove that there was something wrong with the techniques he practiced, and his life or death was unpredictable, so he let the people from the City Lord's Mansion admit defeat on his behalf.
As soon as this news came out, the gods who were watching the battle were shocked.
You said that Lord Barkley was afraid of the fight and fled, but he said he was going to practice dangerous moves.
But if you say that City Lord Barkley is not afraid of fighting, then why did he go out to practice not a few years or decades ago, or even four or five days ago, but yesterday when the battle was about to begin?
For a moment, all the people who received this news felt as if they had been fed a lump of food and didn't know whether to swallow it or spit it out.
"The challenge time has come. Lord Barkley is absent. According to the rules of the fighting arena, Lord Locke has won the battle!"
Chapter 118 Vision
At this time, the referee on the fighting stage announced Locke's victory.
At the same time, as the winner, Locke also became the lord of Barkley City at this moment.
Therefore, after inheriting the position of Lord of Barkley City, the first rule Locke announced was that demons enjoyed rights that exceeded those of ordinary gods.
These include, but are not limited to, the right to enter the city without queuing, without paying entry fees, and the ability to fly within the city.
With the completion of the Demon Castle in Buckley City, the people in Buckley City also knew what the "demon" was.
He does not refer to the demon race living in the abyss, but refers to the powerful gods.
Only the most elite gods can pass the assessment of the Demon Castle and become "demons" recognized by the Demon Castle.
……
Different from the twists and turns Locke experienced.
Locke had only been in Hell for a few years and had yet to make a name for himself.
Yanfeng and Ryan are the lord and deputy lord of Yanfeng City. Their powerful strength is already known to the strong people in the surrounding cities.
Therefore, when Yanfeng and Ryan went to Hongfeng City and Namu City to develop the Demon Castle, they did not encounter any obstacles.
The special treatment of demons mentioned by the two was also acknowledged by the mayors of the two cities.
Not only that, after learning that both of them were five-star demons in the Demon Castle, the Lords of Red Maple City and Namu City also joined the Demon Castle at the same time and were certified as four-star demons.
For a time, the new demon castle swept through the three new cities with a wave called "demon".
Under this wave, it seems that a god cannot be considered elite if he does not have a demon emblem.
Even some people who do not want to work for the Demon Castle will take part in the Demon Assessment to prove themselves, just to get that "Demon Medal".
However, after they became demons, they realized that there was a chain of contempt among demons as well.
A lower-level god of the one-star demon, respected by everyone.
But a one-star demon who is a mid-level god will be despised by everyone.
Only by reaching the level of a two-star demon can the middle-level gods regain their face.
The higher gods do not have to take part in the demon assessment. As long as they join the demon castle, they can be certified as "three-star demons."
However, everyone knows that the three-star demon upper god is only the lowest level of the upper gods.
Going further up, there are four-star demons, five-star demons, six-star demons, seven-star demons and even the stronger Shuras.
We are all superior gods, who would think that he is weaker than others?
Why can others be dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times stronger than those at the same level, while people like us can only be measured in the unit "times"?
After a while, even if it's just to prove themselves, these people will take on some missions issued by the Demon Castle to increase their own demon level.
