"Well, please come in first! Wait for a while in the hall, we will go find the mayor!" The two guards said hurriedly. If it were anyone else, they would have to wait outside, and they would go and ask the mayor whether to meet them or not.

But this was an immortal, so they invited him in directly.

Lin Zifeng and three businessmen followed a guard and a servant into the hall.

Tea and snacks were immediately served.

Lin Zifeng had just picked up the tea and took a sip when a middle-aged man walked towards him.

"Immortal! I am the mayor of Pinghe Town. I wonder if there is anything you want to talk to me about?" The mayor said respectfully to Lin Zifeng.

Although Pinghe Town is under the jurisdiction of the Golden Sword Sect, Lin Zifeng's identity as an "immortal" can be left there.

No matter what, they are just "ordinary people" and it doesn't take much for the immortals to kill them. Even the [Immortal Sect] would not become hostile to an "Immortal" for the sake of an ordinary person.

"I heard there's a monster causing trouble here?" Lin Zifeng asked the mayor.

"That's right! But...this matter has already been handled by people from the Golden Sword Sect!" the mayor said to Lin Zifeng.

"Hmm?" Lin Zifeng turned his head and looked at the three businessmen: "No, you didn't say..."

"This... is indeed the case!" The three businessmen looked at each other. They couldn't let the immortal think that they were fooling him! So the three of them spoke quickly.

"Mayor! We have been looking for you to deal with this matter for many days, but it has been ten days now! There is still no progress! Recently we also heard that there are still reports of monsters eating people!" said the fat businessman with tears in his eyes.

"I have already told the immortals from the Golden Sword Sect about this matter! The immortals from the Golden Sword Sect also agreed to deal with it!" The mayor said, "However, the people from the immortal sect haven't dealt with it yet... I don't know why! I have told them several times, but the Golden Sword Sect hasn't responded to me..."

"..." Lin Zifeng touched his chin: "No response at all?"

"Yes! There is no response at all..." The mayor nodded and sighed, "Alas, immortal gates and immortals, we mortals can't say or do anything..."

"Well...then let us [Xianhemen] handle this matter!" Lin Zifeng said to the mayor.

"【Xianhe Gate】?" The mayor looked at Lin Zifeng. Although he didn't know where 【Xianhe Gate】 came from, 【Golden Sword Gate】 had not responded. If this continued, their Pinghe Town would be doomed!

That monster has become more and more rampant recently. You never know when it might come to the town!

"Then I'll trouble you, Immortal!" Zhenzi nodded and said to Lin Zifeng.

"Immortal! Please stay with me for the time being!" The fat businessman rolled his eyes and spoke first.

"What's so good about your place! Just live over there!" the thinner businessman next to him immediately spoke up.

For a moment, the three businessmen started arguing about Lin Zifeng's whereabouts.

"Okay, stop arguing! I'll be staying at the inn here for the time being, please help me arrange it!" Lin Zifeng said, "Please tell me anything about the monsters!"

"Well! Don't worry!" The mayor nodded and said, "But... our Pinghe Town may not be able to offer anything good to the immortal!"

The mayor said with some embarrassment that immortals are willing to help, generally speaking, they come for rewards, otherwise, immortals will not have the time to help mortals.

"Let's talk about this later!" Lin Zifeng waved his hand and said.

So, Lin Zifeng settled down temporarily in Pinghe Town, waiting for the monster to appear.

——————

The realm of Guixu.

Ever since Yi Xin obtained the power of the microcosm, as his strength grew, he has been living quite comfortably here.

The power to protect himself allowed him to travel around the continent safely even when the two countries were at war.

The outbreak of war between the Chroma Empire and the Oslan Empire made "trade" and "travel" between the two countries suddenly difficult.

This is secondary.

While traveling around the continent, Yi Xin got various intelligence and discovered that "rift" incidents were becoming more and more frequent.

Moreover, these cracks are obviously not "normal" and they appear in the wrong places compared to normal cracks!

In places where normal cracks would not appear, cracks are now constantly appearing.

Gradually, not only Yi Xin, but many people noticed something was wrong.

These cracks are so weird!

And it reveals a feeling of "forced and deliberate".

"This matter is definitely man-made!" Yi Xin noticed this and her pupils shrank slightly.

You know, the rift has always been a very mysterious existence in the world of Guixu.

Now, the rift is actually "artificially" controlled, which is a very scary thing!

Not to mention how powerful the power can be if the "rift" is mastered, the "rift" itself is a disaster!

As a symbol of disaster, it is controlled by humans, so does it mean that... if the other party is willing, the Guixu Realm will fall into the "rift" disaster.

Many forces, both overt and covert, have begun investigating this matter.

Especially the Holy See, as the righteous force of the God of Light, they have been committed to saving the world and relieving suffering. Among them, the prayers in various cities, relying on the holy temples of the Holy See, provide free treatment and relief to many suffering people.

The powerful Inquisitors and Redeemers of the Holy See are in the Realm of Guixu, protecting the people of Dawn.

All along, the Church has been completely consistent with their creed and doctrine in every aspect: justice, light, honesty, perseverance, patience, kindness, dedication...

The war between the Chroma Empire and the Oslan Empire was becoming increasingly intense. Both sides fought very fiercely, with heavy casualties.

However, with the recent increasingly rampant and frequent "rift" incidents, both sides have gradually begun to consider avoiding war.

If they continue to fight like this, regardless of the outcome of the war, this "crack" alone will be enough to bring them down!

Of course, there is also the reason why the Vatican is "mediating" behind the scenes.

As the ceiling of "power" and "authority", the "Holy See" has a very important say in this world.

Even if the Holy See is a completely neutral force.

"The Chroma Empire and the Oslan Empire...the war should be almost over!" Yi Xin felt that the battle between the two sides had begun to change. He was now in a small town on the border of the two countries.

This small town is relatively remote from the border, even for the two countries.

The flames of war didn't really reach this side.

As for why Yi Xin came here, there is a long story behind it.
