There was silence in Panlong City.

At a certain moment, deep within the City Lord's Mansion, Murong Qingming suddenly opened his eyes while cultivating. The moment he achieved a breakthrough, a terrifying aura spread out in all directions, sending the surrounding furniture flying and shattering.

His cultivation has broken through and reached the third level of the Void Realm.

"Although there has been a breakthrough, my cultivation is still not enough to deal with those demons..." Murong Qingming muttered to himself, with a heavy look on his face.

In fact, he also mastered some secret methods passed down from his ancestors, but these methods can only be used when life and death are at stake, otherwise the result will be death or disability.

Shortly after he broke through, Huang Zhentian's voice suddenly arrived.

"Do you have time to chat?"

Listening to the voice transmission, Murong Qingming pondered for a moment and replied, "See you at the usual place."

Soon after, Murong Qingming flew out of the City Lord's Mansion and landed on a high peak in the center of Panlong City. Atop the mountain, a pavilion shone like water in the moonlight. Inside, a tall and sturdy figure sat, a jug of wine and two porcelain cups placed on the table.

"You calculated it very accurately." Murong Qingming smiled slightly, wondering whether Huang Zhentian happened to transmit the message or had other means to know that he had just made a breakthrough.

Huang Zhentian nodded and chuckled, his eyes falling on Murong Qingming: "Congratulations, another step forward."

Murong Qingming did not approach immediately. Instead, he walked forward slowly, looked up at the dark moon in the sky, and suddenly asked, "How many heads are on a tree?"

Huang Zhentian replied: "Four heads."

Murong Qingming raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that there are not two?"

Huang Zhentian said calmly: "Counting you and me, it's naturally four."

Murong Qingming then approached and sat in front of Huang Zhentian. "During such turbulent times, why did you invite me so late at night? What's the important matter?"

"You don't think the demons have left Panlong City, do you?" Huang Zhentian said calmly.

Murong Qingming shook his head, frowning slightly. "The demons' attack this time is clearly aimed at the demon dragon. My father once said that the mission of defending Panlong City would probably end with our generation or Yingxue's. Now it seems that it will probably end with our generation."

He has not had a single sleep these days, always worried and on guard against a sudden war.

"These demons are bound to make big moves. Now is probably the calm before the storm. Are you ready for a desperate fight?" Huang Zhentian stared at Murong Qingming.

Murong Qingming smiled and said, "I started preparing after hearing about the Demonic Dragon from my father. But you, you have been competing with me for the first half of your life. You must really want the position of City Lord."

Huang Zhentian smiled a rare smile upon hearing this. "I won't hide it from you. I never thought of competing with you. It's just that my father asked me to put pressure on you before he died. Now it seems that you are indeed better than me."

He had been practicing hard for many years, but was only at the first level of the Void Silence Realm, while Murong Qingming had just broken through to the third level of the Void Silence Realm.

Murong Qingming was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You did a great job!"

The two looked at each other and laughed even louder, echoing everywhere.

"Do you think we will die?" Huang Zhentian suddenly stopped and looked at Murong Qingming with a smile.

"Anyway, my daughter has already arrived at the Xianjian Sect." Murong Qingming shrugged.

"I don't want to die." Huang Zhentian suddenly said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Murong Qingming looked at Huang Zhentian deeply. This was different from the Huang Zhentian he knew.

Huang Zhentian has been a tough guy since he was a child. He should not say such words just because of his son, especially his second son Huang Xuanyu.

Suddenly, he had an idea and asked softly, "What about my sister-in-law?"

Huang Zhentian's face darkened, and he said coldly, "The murderer hasn't been found yet!"

He will never forget the scene when the bodies of his wife and children were delivered to his doorstep!

Murong Qingming patted his shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, with Fellow Daoist Jia and Bai Lu, strong men from the Immortal Sword Sect, here, the demons are nothing to be afraid of."

Huang Zhentian stared at Murong Qingming and suddenly said, "Actually, I've thought about whether or not to spread the news about the Demon Dragon."

If the news of the magic dragon spreads, it will surely attract powerful human beings to gather. At that time, the demons will naturally be nothing to worry about.

"This goes against our ancestral teachings!" Murong Qingming said in a heavy tone with a serious expression.

Huang Zhentian gritted his teeth and said, "I know!"

They didn't understand why their ancestors had seriously warned their descendants not to spread the news of the evil dragon, even though there were many powerful people among the human race who were capable of killing the evil dragon.

Furthermore, this demon dragon should be extremely weak.

"In that case, then give up this idea." Murong Qingming's tone was firm and unwavering.

Huang Zhentian was silent for a long time, and finally he slowly closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Forget it, let's drink."

Murong Qingming took a deep breath and nodded, "Respect our ancestors and the future."

Huang Zhentian continued: "Respect the ancestors, respect the future..."

......

A night of silence.

The next morning, Lu Qing'an woke up early and prepared to go out to search for the traces of the demons.

Today, he planned to search the city thoroughly first, confirming everything before heading outside. Even if the demons were hiding deep within, he didn't believe he wouldn't be able to find them.

After quietly leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Qing'an used his skills to quickly move around Panlong City. The demon-hunting formation showed that apart from the huge red dot where the demon dragon was, there was no other place in the city where there was demonic aura.

"It seems we can only go outside the city."

Once outside the city, Lu Qing'an became even more cautious, not wanting to reveal his whereabouts. He knew that the field of vision outside the city was wide, and if he flew too fast, he would be noticed from a hundred miles away. Therefore, he had set up a special concealment formation last night, making it difficult to detect unless he was close enough.

Even so, he remained cautious and searched until nightfall before walking around the outer edge of Panlong City.
