After Xi Yunting retired, Han, the chief steward, hurried to the vortex portal. The portal was reopened, and soon, Han Yuanchun, who received Xi Yunting's message, returned through the portal with Han Yuanzhi and his wife. Han, the chief steward, hurried forward to greet them, and then described the current situation.

Han Yuanchun was already shocked and angry when he received the message. When he hurried back and was told that Gengsheng Small Heaven Realm was temporarily closed and could not be entered, he was extremely upset.

The Han family is still a young family. The first to become the city lord was the father of the two Han brothers. Not long after the father failed in seclusion, he died, and Han Yuanchun took over the position of city lord. The two brothers are very talented and have cultivated to the state of out-of-body experience. However, when it comes to the issue of successors, Han Yuanchun is more willing to pass the position of city lord to his own descendants. The side branches say that they are all descendants of the Han family, but Han Yuanchun always feels unwilling to hand over Hanshan City, which his father personally acquired, to the children of the side branches.

Over the years, he has only been focusing on cultivation, managing city affairs, and asking around for ways to have a child. Although he noticed the movements in Hanshan City, he did not take them to heart. He always felt that this was the reason for the instability of not having an heir, and thought that if he had to adopt another from a side branch, the undercurrent in Hanshan City would subside.

Unexpectedly, the ambition of the Zhong family has grown greatly over the years, and they suddenly launched a usurpation of the City Lord's Mansion. The Zhong family was right to cut off the Whirlpool Gate. As long as Han Yuanchun and the others were blocked on the other side and could not return, when he took control of Hanshan City and purged the Han family members in Guangliang City, everything would be settled, and Han Yuanchun would not be able to save it even if he came back. A family is called a family because it has many descendants. With only Han Yuanchun and Han Yuanzhi, it cannot be called a family. Even if the City Lord's Mansion is taken back, the position will not be stable.

After listening to the report from Han Zongguan, I found that the current situation was not too bad. The troops attacking the City Lord's Mansion were repelled, and the portal was also recaptured. Although Zhishitang was seized, the equipment and magic tools fell into the hands of the Zhong family; the commercial district also suffered heavy casualties, and countless stores and supplies were damaged. The important brother Han Yuanchun is back, and only one day has passed.

Han Yuanchun breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Han Zongguan: "Fortunately, you handled it properly and did not make the situation worse."

Manager Han did not take credit for it. He said, "Xi Yunting of the Chongxuan Sect played an indispensable role in this. It was also thanks to him that he informed the unusual movement in time and traveled a long way to report to the city lord." At this point, Manager Han's expression was a little strange. "Even the other party was able to take back this portal so quickly. It only took half an hour to take it down. The means were quite unpredictable."

Han Yuanchun was immediately interested and asked Han Yuanzhi who was standing beside him, "Could it be that Xi Yunting has profound cultivation?"

Han Yuanchun also knew that the Chongxuan Sect had come to their Heaven Realm to select disciples once every ten years. However, he was quite busy at that time and did not pay much attention to it. As the general manager of the Gengsheng Small Heaven Realm of Zhishitang, Han Yuanzhi received the other party and handled various matters for the other party. Therefore, Han Yuanchun asked him this question.

Han Yuanzhi said: "I heard that his cultivation is only at the Jindan stage. However, it is said that he is highly regarded in the Chongxuan Sect. Although Xi Yunting is young and his cultivation is not very high, his status is indeed not to be underestimated."

Manager Han didn't know what Xi Yunting's status was, so he also looked at Han Yuanzhi. Han Yuanzhi said: "It is said that his seniority is very high in the Chongxuan Sect, and he is the last among the second-generation disciples. The current head of the Chongxuan Sect is his uncle."

Han, the chief steward, hissed. This identity is really precious! You have to know that in a big sect like Chongxuan Sect, not every second-generation disciple can call the sect master "uncle master". They must be from the same master. Don't think that the immortal sect doesn't value direct lineage or whether they are from the same inheritance. The judgment of closeness and distance is as important as that of the immortal family.

Han Yuanzhi looked at Han the butler, smiled and said, "There is one thing that the butler did very well, which is to take this opportunity to deepen his contact with Chongxuan. I'm afraid you don't know that because of his seniority, the head office that manages Chongxuan's affairs also made him an honorary head. Being able to establish a friendship with this person is of great significance to our Han family!"

This surprised Han Zongguan even more than the previous news. What is the Director's Office? In the big sects, the place where affairs are managed may be called differently. In Hanshan City, it is the City Lord's Mansion! Now it is just a title, and it is also because Xi Yunting's cultivation is not enough. As long as his cultivation is promoted, he will be the new noble who controls the power of the center of Chongxuan Sect. By then, they can easily establish a relationship without having to make connections.

This made Han, the chief steward, who had always thought that Xi Yunting was just an ordinary disciple, or at most an inner sect elite, very excited. Even Han Yuanchun's face showed emotion. He raised his hand and patted Han, laughing: "It seems that our Han family has turned a disaster into a blessing this time!"

Originally, Han Yuanchun had thought of taking this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Chongxuan Sect. Being a vassal was a bit low, and being a younger brother was Han Yuanchun's bottom line. The revelation of Xi Yunting's identity directly changed Han Yuanchun's mind. It's good to lean on a big tree for shade. Instead of aiming too high, it's better to hold on to this future thigh.

Although he had made up his mind, Han Yuanchun was not in a hurry to put it into practice. The current chaos had not yet subsided, and it would be a disadvantage to talk to the other party in such a situation. It would be better to deal with these blind clowns of the Zhong family as soon as possible before discussing future development plans.

The civil strife in Hanshan City has completely changed from passive defense to active attack. Han Yuanchun's return not only boosted the morale of his own side, but also suppressed the arrogance of the Zhong family, and they dared not act so arrogantly. However, the large amount of elixirs, equipment and magic tools stored in Zhishi Hall gave the Zhong family enough confidence. The two sides began to chase and fight, no matter where they were, whether it was an ambush or a chance encounter, they would fight to the death when they met.

Only the Zhong family still thought that they could still fight with the inventory of Zhishitang. The other families knew that the City Lord's Mansion had a deep foundation and that its hundreds of years of operation were not much worse than Zhishitang. In addition, Han Yuanchun was very powerful, and the Han family had a strong backer like the Chongxuan Sect. Neutral families turned against the Zhong family and joined the civil war, accelerating the process of the Han family destroying the Zhong family.

It was too chaotic outside, and the city guards had become firefighters, rushing to the scene to evacuate innocent people when a fight broke out. But no matter how fast they rushed, some people were inevitably injured by mistake. In view of this, Chen Xiao decided to stay in the city lord's mansion until the situation calmed down.

Tong Nuonuo is also one of the biggest victims involved in the Zhong family's conspiracy. Han Zongguan came once in person and not only promised to announce the evil deeds of Li Xianshi and his group after the civil strife ended, but also gave quite generous compensation. Not only will Tong Nuonuo, the only one alive, be compensated, but even the masters of those who have been on the death list will receive special notices. This is relatively rare for Zhishitang. So many people die during the training every year. If Zhishitang is responsible for delivering the obituaries door to door, no matter how many people there are, they will not be enough.

Chen Xiao and Du Rong, because they were Xi Yunting's companions, also received compensation for being implicated and attacked. Manager Han didn't know that Chen Xiao was still an ordinary person on the list, but according to his status as a low-level cultivator, he was given the same equipment as Du Rong. This equipment includes a chest guard, wrist guards and a belt. They are acceleration, protection and strength, which are quite comprehensive and practical.

Du Rong couldn't let go of the equipment, and he put it on without caring whether he was going out or not. He went to the martial arts field to practice his body movements and went to the quiet room to meditate. Now Chen Xiao draws a spirit-attracting talisman every morning and gives it to Du Rong. Although his cultivation level has increased from extremely slow to relatively slow, it is still increasing. Du Rong has more confidence than ever that he can break through to the foundation-building stage.

The effect of the soul-attracting talisman was so good that Chen Xiao also thought about selling it to monks or immortals who had low fees to make money. Unfortunately, although this kind of paper talisman was low in cost, the output speed was too slow and could not generate any high returns. So, he simply gave up and waited until his mental strength was higher in the future.

After the hottest few days, the temperature in the morning and evening began to cool down. Chen Xiao originally got up very early in the morning, so he liked to take advantage of the cool time and find a quiet place in the City Lord's Mansion to read a book.

Manager Han placed them in a relatively safe place in the center of the city lord's mansion where they would not be easily attacked. There was a flower gallery between several houses covered with creeping plants and full of light pink flowers. Chen Xiao often came here to read with his books. When the morning breeze blew, small petals would often fall into the gallery and float onto his books.

The flower corridor was not far from the house where Xi Yunting lived. When the stars rose, Xi Yunting would come out of the room after finishing his morning practice. Chen Xiao would always greet Xi Yunting. Most of the time, Xi Yunting had other things to do, so he would just respond and leave. Sometimes, like now, he would come over and sit near Chen Xiao and talk to him for a while.

Most of the time, Chen Xiao would bring up the topic, and Xi Yunting would follow the topic. Previously, Chen Xiao asked most about the situation outside, but recently, the two began to talk about the books Chen Xiao read.

Chen Xiao discovered that Xi Yunting not only had a wide range of knowledge, but also knew a lot of unknown things, and had done in-depth research on some of them. However, Chen Xiao did not know much about the relevant knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation, so Xi Yunting told him about the customs and practices of the mortal world. He spent the most time going out alone to practice, often hiding his identity and walking in cities with many ordinary people. The narration of his personal experience made Chen Xiao feel more vivid than what was in the book.

He couldn't help but say with emotion: "It's really fascinating. I wish I could go and see it with my own eyes and taste the local delicacies in person."

Xi Yunting said to him, "If you are willing to wait until the situation in Hanshan City is settled, I can go with you to take a look. It is fun to revisit the old place."
