At first, Hu Sheng was a little puzzled. The Shi family and the Tie family had been fighting for so many years, and the difference in their strength was not that great.

Given the strength of the Shi family, it is absolutely impossible for them to defeat the Tie family and then force the Tie family members to kneel in front of the Shi family mansion.

After Chen Tianwen made his move, Hu Sheng understood that with an expert like Chen Tianwen here, dealing with the Tie family wouldn't take much effort at all.

However, Hu Sheng also guessed that Chen Tianwen must have an extraordinary background. He originally wanted to handle the matter vaguely and then let the city lord make the decision.

Now that Chen Tianwen has come forward and admitted that he was the one who hit the man, and Hu Shengcai has just been saying that he wants to uphold the city lord's ironclad rules, if he doesn't arrest Chen Tianwen, his actions today will become a joke in Xishui City.

However, Hu Sheng was also aware of his own limitations when it came to capturing Chen Tianwen; he knew he didn't have the ability to do so.

Chen Tianwen saw through Hu Sheng's little scheme and couldn't help but feel contempt for him. However, Chen Tianwen didn't want to confront the City Lord's Mansion directly, so he didn't intend to make things difficult for Hu Sheng.

Chen Tianwen took out the city lord's seal from his robes, held it in his hand, and said:

"I am the city lord of Bu Huo City. These petty scoundrels have disrespected me, and I have already taught them a lesson."

It makes sense now, everything makes sense!

Hu Sheng was overjoyed to hear Chen Tianwen's words. Although Hu Sheng was somewhat surprised that Chen Tianwen could become the city lord at such a young age, as long as Chen Tianwen had the city lord's seal, there was no doubt about it.

Moreover, as the city lord, Chen Tianwen enjoys special privileges within the Changtang region.

Let alone taking action in the street, even if he directly wiped out the entire Tie family, as long as there was a suitable reason, the Lord of Xishui City couldn't say anything on the surface.

Having found a way to save face, Hu Sheng naturally wouldn't dwell on it any longer. He quickly bowed to Chen Tianwen and said:

"Since you are a member of the Tie family and have inadvertently offended the city lord, you should be punished."

Chen Tianwen nodded, not one to hold a grudge, and waved his hand, signaling Hu Sheng to leave.

Hu Sheng felt as if he had been granted a pardon and turned to fly away. Hu Sheng had already made up his mind to immediately report to the city lord. As long as the city lord intervened, he would definitely be able to regain the face he had lost today.

When the Tie family saw that Hu Sheng was actually intimidated by Chen Tianwen, and then Chen Tianwen even revealed the city lord's seal, their spirits plummeted. When they saw Hu Sheng retreat, their faces turned ashen.

Xu Da and Shi Zhongtian looked at Chen Tianwen in surprise, not expecting that Chen Tianwen also had the identity of the city lord of Bu Huo City.

Yes, who would have thought that Chen Tianwen, who had only recently ascended to immortality, would have already become the lord of a city?

Of those present, only Xiaoxue didn't react much. After all, she had been in contact with Chen Tianwen for so long, so her understanding of him was naturally much better than the others.

"Um?"

Chen Tianwen sensed that Shi Lekang's aura suddenly erupted at this moment, so he quickly removed the barrier and then sent a telepathic message to the cauldron spirit, guiding the immortal spiritual energy in the spiritual energy space to Shi Lekang's side.

As soon as the barrier was removed, Shi Lekang's body began to frantically absorb the surrounding immortal spiritual energy. This was a sign of a breakthrough. Chen Tianwen was afraid that the immortal spiritual energy here was not dense enough. Although Shi Lekang could still break through successfully, he would need to accumulate for a long time in the early stage of Golden Immortal.

That's why Chen Tianwen immediately had the cauldron spirit summon immortal spiritual energy to assist Shi Lekang in his breakthrough.

With such a significant commotion emanating from Shi Lekang, everyone present, including the Tie family, could sense that Shi Lekang was about to break through!

The Shi family was naturally extremely excited, especially Xiaoxue, who cheered with joy.

The Tie family members were even more depressed, especially Tie Haizhi, who had fought with Shi Lekang his whole life. He thought that by joining the city lord's mansion, the Tie family would have a chance to trample the Shi family underfoot.

But now, not only has Shi Lekang found an even more powerful backer, but his own strength has also reached the Golden Immortal realm.

At this moment, Tie Haizhi understood that he would never again have the chance to fight against Shi Lekang in his life.

Shi Lekang rapidly absorbed the immortal spiritual energy, but compared to Chen Tianwen's breakthrough, the immortal spiritual energy absorbed during Shi Lekang's breakthrough was negligible.

Fifteen minutes later, Shi Lekang's breathing finally stabilized, his originally hunched figure became upright, and his full head of silver hair turned into black strands.

A celestial aura flowed around Shi Lekang, and upon closer inspection, one could also detect wisps of the law of water flowing within him.

This is precisely a sign that a Golden Immortal has initially grasped the power of the laws in the early stages.

Shi Lekang slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, bowed deeply to Chen Tianwen, and said:

"Thank you, Young Master Chen, for protecting me!"

Chen Tianwen smiled and nodded. Shi Lekang was able to overcome his inner demons, and his future cultivation path would definitely be smoother. This would also become a great help to his forces!

Chen Tianwen pointed to the Tie family members on the ground and said to Shi Lekang:

"Senior Shi, the decision on how to deal with these people is entirely up to you!"

Shi Lekang coldly stared at Tie Haizhi and the others kneeling on the ground, his eyes icy, as if he had returned to the Ming Emperor who once conquered the world. He shook his head and said:

"The Tie family is no longer worthy to be a match for my Ming family! However, today we have subdued the Tie family with the help of Young Master Chen. I beg Chen Tianwen to spare the Tie family for now. One day, I will personally annihilate the Tie family!"

Chen Tianwen nodded and waved his hand, causing the oppressive aura surrounding the Tie family members to dissipate, allowing them to regain control of their bodies.

Tie Haizhi glanced at Shi Lekang with a complicated expression, then led the Tie family members back, looking disheveled.

Chen Tianwen respected Shi Lekang's decision, and these Tie family members were indeed not worthy of Chen Tianwen's attention. Whether they were killed or spared, Chen Tianwen would not care.

With the matter settled, everyone returned to the Shi family home.

After the little incident just now, everyone in the Shi family understands Chen Tianwen's identity. Moreover, the news that the Tie family members knelt at the Shi family's door will soon spread throughout Xishui City. At that time, Xishui City will probably no longer be able to tolerate the Shi family.

So Shi Lekang finally made a decision and moved the entire Shi family to Bu Huo City!

Moreover, Chen Tianwen promised Shi Lekang that once they arrived in Bu Huo City, he would definitely find a way to strengthen the Shi family.

Having rekindled his fearless beliefs, Shi Lekang began to secretly look forward to life in Bu Huocheng.

The Shi family has over a hundred members, so it's impossible to get everything sorted out in a short time. Chen Tianwen stayed in Xishui City for five days before the Shi family, led by Shi Lekang, headed to Buhuo City.

Chen Tianwen stood outside Xishui City, watching the departing Shi family members, nodded, then turned to the void and said:

"You have quite the patience!"
