The Beast King only knew that Linzhou passed the artifact of Hope Sword to a young man, but he did not know that the young man was Jiang Ang who was slumped on the city wall and could not move, rather than Gu Wenjing who was chasing it with the sword of Hope at this time.

The poor beast king fled in the air at a very fast speed, letting the precious beast king's blood spill down like rain, and he didn't care about the serious consequences of burning essence and blood. He was full of the sword energy that could easily kill it, and he ran away desperately!

Suddenly, it stared at its body that suddenly abandoned its head and ran away and fell from mid-air. In the last second when its consciousness completely disappeared, it knew in a daze that it had been beheaded by Gu Wenjing, who had been catching up with it.

When Gu Wenjing came back with the Beast King's huge head, he was greeted by cheers and praise from the whole city.

Looking at the people below celebrating the survivor of the disaster, Gu Wenjing felt that the last obsession in his body had also dissipated, and the original owner's soul finally completely merged with him.

What the original owner expected was nothing more than protecting the place where he grew up and allowing this city of hope to no longer experience despair.

In the original plot, the original owner did it, but it was a little late. Because Lin Zhou's selfishness and Jiang Ang's incompetence had caused huge casualties. Now Gu Wenjing has blocked all the crises outside the city wall. No one died in this beast tide, which is undoubtedly a perfect ending.

The sword of hope, which was silent in Jiang Ang's body, was being held in Gu Wenjing's hand like an arm using his fingers.

The senior officials of the City of Hope came to Gu Wenjing and stared at the platinum-gold sword in his hand with eager eyes: "Young City Lord, have you let the artifact recognize the master?"

Gu Wenjing casually put a sword flower and nodded slightly: "When the beast tide hit the city wall, I suddenly felt a strong resonance with the Sword of Hope, so I pulled out the Sword of Hope from Jiang Ang's body..."

After getting the exact answer from Gu Wenjing, everyone was very excited. As for what harm Gu Wenjing would cause to Jiang Ang's body, they didn't care at all.

"Young City Lord, the celebration banquet is ready. Please move forward!"

Gu Wenjing was surrounded by stars and left, while Jiang Ang, who was injured in the Dantian, lay on the ground but no one cared about it. After finally someone remembered him, he just took the person back and imprisoned him.

After three rounds of drinking at the celebration banquet, Gu Wenjing thought of Jiang Ang and asked, "What's wrong with Jiang Ang?"

Someone said: "The Young City Lord is too kind. Traitors like Jiang Ang who attempt to escape from the base with magical tools should be executed directly!"

If the artifact of Hope Sword in this beast tide had never been useful, everyone might not have hated Jiang Ang so much. But now it was Gu Wenjing who resonated with the artifact at the forefront and saved the entire city of Hope.

It is conceivable what consequences would be if Jiang Ang successfully escaped with the sword of hope!

When everyone was afraid of the city of Hope, which should have been rescued under the urging artifact of the young city lord, would be destroyed because of Jiang Ang's greed for life and fear of death. They were scared and hated Jiang Ang even more with fear.

Gu Wenjing said lightly: "Although Jiang Ang did something wrong, he still saved it. Moreover, Jiang Ang is the grandson of his adopted father after all. He has been guarding the City of Hope for many years and has made countless contributions. Even for the sake of his adoptive father, he cannot let Jiang Ang ignore it."

Gu Wenjing mentioned Linzhou, and everyone looked at each other. Although he didn't say anything, he was dissatisfied with Linzhou's behavior of putting the City of Hope in crisis for personal gain.

The reason for this beast tide was that Linzhou passed the artifact to Jiang Ang. If Linzhou waited until his life span was approaching, the inheritance of power and artifacts would be extremely smooth, and there would never be a situation where the beast king took advantage of the loophole and almost destroyed the city of hope.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he guessed almost the same as what they thought in their hearts.

This is how a person’s bad nature is.

When a good person keeps doing good things, people will become accustomed to it. Until this good person does something bad, people will think that the good person has fallen and become bad.

But a bad person who is unforgivable suddenly does a good thing, but will be praised as a prodigal son who turns back and fails to exchange for gold, or put down his butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha.

Linzhou is now that good person. Because of a wrong thing he did in his later years, he lost his integrity in his later years. All his efforts to the City of Hope seemed worthless.

Of course, because Linzhou is one of the five great saviors, his prestige has declined due to the lack of protection in his later years, but it has not yet fallen to the bottom. Therefore, even if someone is dissatisfied with Linzhou, no one dares to say it out directly.

After the celebration banquet, Gu Wenjing ordered someone to send the injured Jiang Ang to the best hospital in the City of Hope for treatment, which happened to be the same hospital as Linzhou.

Linzhou is watching the news online. At this time, the online news of the City of Hope has been flooded with the news that "The City Lord Gu activated the artifact of Hope Sword to solve the beast tide, kill the beast king, and save the City of Hope".

Linzhou naturally knew that the artifact of Hope that he had spent all his skills to pass on to Jiang Ang had already taken the initiative to recognize Gu Wenjing as the main focus.

Although he was also glad and happy that the crisis in the City of Hope was resolved, Lin Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm old! I've stepped into the coffin with one foot, and I still have such a problem, and I won't be safe in my later years!"

If he had known this, he would have passed the artifact directly to Gu Wenjing, and then admitted his grandson Jiang Ang upright and asked his adopted son Gu Wenjing to take care of Jiang Ang after his death.

Even if Jiang Ang has been an ordinary person all his life and a waste who cannot be cultivated, the Yu Ze left behind is enough for Jiang Ang to have a peaceful life.

Unfortunately, the difference in thought... After all, greed is still the cause of it.

Who doesn’t want to have such a powerful artifact and pass it on to your descendants?

Just like the city lords of the other four major bases, when looking for heirs, the first wave of testing is their own descendants. Unfortunately, the artifact recognizes the master never depends on the bloodline, and they will not look at each other or lower the requirements for recognize the master just because the young people are their own descendants.

The other four city lords can also forcibly lose their power like Linzhou to pass on the artifact to their descendants. But the problem is that even if they are passed on to their descendants, they will not be able to use the artifact. The artifact will always sleep in their bodies and cannot even compare to the decoration, because the decoration can at least be seen.

Therefore, none of the other four city lords did this and chose heirs to train according to their resonance with the artifact.

Linzhou was only alone for many years. Suddenly, he learned that he had a grandson and the child he loved the most. He did it impulse...

Obviously the result was tragic.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

When Gu Wenjing came to visit Linzhou, Linzhou was holding on to the injured body and guarding Jiang Ang who was being treated.

Gu Wenjing looked at Jiang Ang who was sleeping in the sanitary fluid and said to Linzhou: "Edited father, Jiang Ang will wake up for a long time. You can go and rest early!"

Lin Zhou didn't even look at Gu Wenjing. Although his reason made him understand that Gu Wenjing's actions were correct, they were all for the City of Hope. It can even be said that he and his grandson Jiang Ang were injured and suffered from it.

But if he could always remain rational and calm, he would not have done anything to pass the artifact to Jiang Ang.

Lin Zhou felt that he could not face the adopted son who had injured his grandson and forcibly took away the artifact from Jiang Ang's body.

So he seemed to have never heard of Gu Wenjing's words and ignored them directly.

Gu Wenjing, who had not received Linzhou's response for a while, also understood. He smiled faintly, didn't care about Linzhou's little temper, and turned around and left.

Now he doesn't need to rely on Linzhou to breathe, nor does he need to please Linzhou, nor does he have the original owner's feelings for Linzhou. So why should he stay after Linzhou shook his face?

Now he needs to deal with the affairs of the entire City of Hope, and he is very busy.

Two days later, the lord of Thunder City came with the artifact Thunder Whip.

A rumbling thunder sound came from the horizon, and a lightning flashed through the sky and flew towards the City of Hope.

The sword of hope in Gu Wenjing's hand took the initiative to make a "buzzing" sword sound.

Gu Wenjing soared into the sky and met with the lord of Thunder City in the sky.

The Lord of Thunder City is a middle-aged man who looks very majestic, but in fact he is about the same age as Linzhou. He is just as he has a magical weapon, but he looks much younger than Linzhou who has lost the magical weapon.

Seeing Gu Wenjing, the city master of Thunder God's City fell on the sword of hope in his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Are you the new master of the sword of hope?"

Gu Wenjing nodded slightly. In fact, the original owner had met the other four city lords with Linzhou, but the city lord of Thunder God had received a message before that Linzhou passed the Sword of Hope to his grandson. Now he saw that the Sword of Hope was still in Gu Wenjing's hands, so he couldn't help but ask more questions.

The city lord of Thunder City followed Gu Wenjing and saw that the order of the City of Hope remains the same. There are still many people outside the city wall recycling the corpses of ferocious beasts. He knew in his heart that the crisis of the beast tide in the City of Hope has passed.

The city lord of Thunder God showed a smile on Gu Wenjing's face and said, "It seems that the sword of hope really recognizes you as the master, and the crisis of the beast tide has also passed. Take me to see the city lord Lin!"

Gu Wenjing took the city lord of Thunder City to the hospital to see Lin Zhou who was recovering from his injuries.

Seeing Linzhou's much older appearance, the city lord of Thunder City couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the first choice among us was Lao Lin."

Five artifacts, five city lords, all of them lived from the time when the world changed. More than a hundred years have passed, and their lifespan is approaching. It is urgent to choose the artifact to pass on.
