The saltwater lake was suddenly extremely quiet, with only the sound of the whistling wind.

Chen Xiao swallowed and said in a dry voice: "This person can't be..."

Tang Ru's voice was also tense, and she nodded: "It is very likely that person."

Hua Baisui, the powerful one who transcends tribulation!

The immortal cultivator that people least want to meet!

Chen Xiao thought about it, and suddenly said in horror: "She said she had something to ask me just now. Could it be that someone asked her to settle the grudge?"

Otherwise, why would someone who had never had any contact with him before suddenly say he wanted to find him?

Tang Ru laughed dryly and said, "Don't scare yourself. Do you think you have any enemies who would hate you so much that they would lose everything they have just to get revenge on you?"

Chen Xiao thought about it carefully and realized that the only person who had an irreconcilable hatred with him seemed to be the disciple of Patriarch Huaiyin, the one who ran away, Cheng Gu.

But he is an evil cultivator. Even if he had eight hundred courages, he would not dare to deal with a great righteous person who is transcending tribulation, right?

Apart from Cheng Gu, Chen Xiao couldn't think of any other living enemies with whom he had grudges.

Chen Xiao felt weak for a moment, and consoled himself by saying, "That might really be for something else. Maybe he wants to ask me to look at Feng Shui."

After encountering Hua Baisui, the frightened Chen Xiao no longer had the mood to continue fishing. He retrieved the bag that fell to the bottom of the water and hurried back to the camp with Tang Ru.

Xi Yunting noticed that his face looked strange and thought something had happened.

After Chen Xiao said that, Xi Yunting patted his head and comforted him, "It's definitely not revenge, don't worry. Senior Hua Baisui is currently being commissioned by someone else and will not take on another commission."

Although Xi Yunting said that he was not looking for revenge on him, Chen Xiao still felt a little uneasy. He even lost his appetite for the roasted lizard meat that he had been looking forward to for a long time.

The next day, we continued on our journey, and after two more days and nights, we finally reached Green Water City. When we arrived outside the city, we returned the ground-walking lizard to the post station, and it was dark again when we entered the city.

This city is not exclusively for immortal cultivators. Among the people living here, 70% to 80% are mortals. However, due to the unique climate and environment here, there are many intersections between the lives of immortal cultivators and ordinary people.

For example, the salt that ordinary people need to eat is mainly extracted from the salt soil collected by the monks. The rations that the practitioners need for training are made from the crops grown and raised by ordinary people.

The environment of Green Water City is much better than the fortress built in the Gobi Desert. There are many green plants dotted around the city. Although the buildings are mostly made of sand and stone, the doors, windows and some simple outdoor sheds are made of wood.

Although it was already night, the streets were bustling. There were lampposts in front of the shops along the street. The lamps covered with windproof covers were burning oil refined from animals, and they were very bright.

Chen Xiao didn't expect that the city would be so prosperous at night. Tong Nuonuo said to him through voice transmission: "There are many immortal cultivators."

Chen Xiao's eyes flickered. There were indeed quite a few cultivators among the crowd, at least three or four among ten people.

This proportion is too high. They must be here to gather information just like them.

Chen Ziyi whispered, "Please find a place to eat and drink tea first. I will go and arrange accommodation."

There are so many people in Green Water City recently that I'm afraid all the hotels and other places to stay are full.

As a local boss, Chen Ziyi has to rely on his connections and relationships to find a suitable place to accommodate everyone.

Chen Xiao and the others understood what he meant, so Taoist Zhenlu pointed to a restaurant with a red flag hanging and said, "We'll wait for you there."

After parting ways, the group headed for the restaurant. The restaurant was quite large, with six large doors facing the street and a three-story stone-and-wood exterior, which looked more upscale than the average street-side store.

The restaurant was crowded at that time. When they went in, they found that all the private rooms were taken. A few of them did not want to sit in the main hall, so they went to the second floor to sit in the private rooms facing the central hall.

Although the private rooms here are also in an open space, they are separated by screens and plants, so they are quite quiet.

Tang Ru and Tong Nuonuo took the menu and ordered their meals. Chen Xiao asked the waiter to heat up the water he brought and serve it.

Taoist Zhenlu smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, Taoist Chen. I am very grateful."

Chen Xiao put the spiritual tea in the teapot and brewed it with water. "Thank you for being polite, senior. I feel bad for asking you to sit here and eat with us."

The waiter standing nearby then stepped forward, poured tea for the guests, brought a pot of boiled water, and then left.

There are many cultivators outside, and there are also many people in the restaurant.

Apart from eating, these people have nowhere to stay, so they gather here to find out each other's news.

There were so many people around that Chen Xiao and his companions just drank tea or ate, without saying anything extra.

When I was halfway through the meal, Chen Ziyi came over.

He called the waiter to bring some new dishes. Chen Ziyi drank a sip of hot tea, held the spiritual energy in his mouth, and swallowed it reluctantly for a long time.

He sighed comfortably and said, "I've found a place to live. There's no private courtyard, so I just need four rooms upstairs."

Taoist Zhenlu said, "It would be great to have four upper rooms."

Chen Ziyi looked at the few people and said, "How about this, Director Xi and Director Chen will have one room, Senior Zhu and I will have one room, and Fellow Daoist Tang and Fellow Daoist Tong will each have one room."

He had no choice but to make such arrangements. Apart from the Taoist couple Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao who occupied one room, the remaining four people included two Nascent Souls, one Golden Core and one Foundation Establishment.

Logically speaking, he should live with Tong Nuonuo, but he is not familiar with Tong Nuonuo. On the contrary, he has dealt with Taoist Zhenlu several times, so he should not mind living together.

Tang Ru said, "Nono and I will share a room, and you and Master Zhu will share a room. We sometimes make this arrangement, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that Tong Nuonuo did not object, Chen Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief. This person's cultivation was not high, but he was a master of mechanical devices. It was better not to offend him if possible.

The new dishes came up, and Chen Ziyi hadn't even taken two bites when he heard a commotion outside. He didn't know what they heard, but the guests on the first floor of the restaurant all stood up and ran outside.

Soon, the commotion spread to the upper floor, and Chen Xiao saw the people in the private seats opposite jump directly off the fence and run out in two or three steps.

The waiters on the first floor were in a panic. Guests from several tables ran out. The waiters didn't want to let people dine and eat for free, so they chased after them, shouting.

"What happened?" Tong Nuonuo stood up and looked towards the hall downstairs.

Chen Ziyi put down his chopsticks and was about to stand up, but Xi Yunting stopped him and said, "Let's go take a look first, you continue eating."

Chen Xiao also stood up and said, "We are all in the city, nothing serious should happen."

Chen Ziyi nodded: "Let me know if you need anything."

Several people went downstairs and followed the crowd towards the source of the commotion.

People kept running by, and those who didn't know the situation were asking around to find out what had happened. Those who knew the situation were so excited that they couldn't suppress their voices, and after a few listens, they understood.

It turned out that Hua Baisui appeared in Green Water City, and was now confronting the City Lord's Mansion, saying that he wanted to deal with the other person's son-in-law!

When Chen Xiao heard that it was Hua Baisui's excitement, his heart skipped a beat.

Xi Yunting stroked his back and he did not turn back.

Well, this mystery has been making him uneasy, so he might as well ask it directly.

Walking into the crowd, I could see Hua Baisui standing on the gate of the City Lord's Mansion from afar, with a person lying at his feet and another person protecting him from behind.

The majestic gate of the City Lord's Mansion was destroyed from the inside out by a force, as if Hua Baisui had been fighting with someone and ran here from inside.

People could see that many people were chased out of the mansion, among them were the city lord Yue Fanye, his son Yue Guanyun, and his daughter Yue Hanyu.

Yue Fanye and Yue Guanyun both had expressions of mixed shock and anger, while Yue Hanyu had tears in her eyes.

Yue Fanye said angrily, "Senior Hua, Changbin certainly did something wrong, but now he is willing to repent, and my Lushui Yue family is willing to compensate this female cultivator Huang Yanxue. Why are you still so stubborn and insist on forcing him to kill him?"

Hua Baisui snapped her nails, her long sleeves dancing in the wind, and said, "Shi Changbin is willing to repent, but the persecution Yanxue suffered cannot be eliminated by just a word of repentance. What compensation are you talking about for the Yue family? What does this matter have to do with your Yue family?"

Yue Fanye endured the anger and said, "Since Shi Changbin is the son-in-law of my Yue family, the Yue family naturally has reasons to intervene in this matter."

Hua Baisui snorted coldly, "Shi Changbin killed his wife for fame and murdered his original wife Huang Yanxue in order to marry Yue Hanyu. But in the final analysis, Shi Changbin was unfaithful and cold-blooded. I, Hua Baisui, never vent my anger on others. Let me ask you, when Shi Changbin had another wife, did your Yue family know about this when they arranged the marriage with Shi Changbin?"

Sweat immediately flowed down Yue Fanye's forehead. Although he was furious, he was not impulsive.

If Hua Baisui told the Yue family that they knew about this now, wouldn't he implicate the Yue family as well and avenge Huang Yanxue?

But we swear to God that the Yue family did not know that Shi Changbin already had a Taoist partner, and they still dared to deceive Yue Hanyu into marriage.

Although what Shi Changbin did was outrageous, when he looked at his daughter and thought about his young grandson, Yue Fanye really couldn't bear to let them become orphans and widows.

However, being unable to bear the consequences for his daughter and grandson does not mean that he can sacrifice the entire Yue family. Thinking of Hua Baisui's style of doing things, Yue Fanye felt a shudder.

Yue Fanye took a deep breath and said to Hua Baisui, "When Changbin asked to marry my daughter, my Yue family really didn't know that he already had a Taoist partner."

Hua Baisui nodded in satisfaction and said, "If that's the case, then Miss Yue is also a victim. Now that I have dealt with Shi Changbin, it can be regarded as a relief for Miss Yue."

Yue Fanye was about to vomit blood.

What is she freed from? Yue Hanyu and Shi Changbin were already golden elixir after getting married. They finally had a child, but they were only a few years happy when her husband died. Could she still live?

Yue Hanyu took two steps forward and knelt directly in front of Hua Baisui, begging, "I know Changbin was wrong before, but please, Senior Hua, spare his life for the sake of my son's youth!"

Huang Yanxue came out from behind Hua Baisui at this time, her face was hideous and terrifying, as if it had been burned by sulfuric acid. She said with hatred: "With such a beast in human form as a father, aren't you afraid that you will raise a child with a mind as dirty as his!"
