Yancheng, Jingzhou County!
The city lord Xiao Chufeng still had a sad face even after long into the night.
At this moment, a servant outside the door reported: "City Lord, the Hua family's elder wants to see you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chufeng, who had been scowling, suddenly showed joy: "Come in quickly!"
The Hua family is known as the number one cultivation family in Jingzhou County. It is said that they are full of masters. It seems that Xiao Chufeng can only ask the Hua family for help in his current predicament.
Hua Qiu, the eldest elder of the Hua family, looked young but was full of arrogance. As soon as he entered the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, he snorted coldly: "What do you mean by asking for an audience? Do you mean that I am willing to come?"
Xiao Chufeng quickly laughed and said, "Great Elder, you have misunderstood. This servant is ignorant. Please forgive me. The Great Elder is a famous figure in the cultivation world, and even I, Xiao, can hardly invite him. They are blind."
Hua Qiu sat down with a bit of arrogance: "City Lord Xiao, what's the matter that has you invited me here so late at night?"
Xiao Chufeng's eyes flashed as he glanced at Hua Qiu. "Of course it's the Second Prince's business. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare trouble the Great Elder to come in person."
A smile appeared on Hua Qiu's face. "I've heard some rumors about this. Aren't many people looking for that kid who's pretending to be the Fifth Prince?"
Xiao Chufeng smiled broadly, "That's right. The Second Prince is extremely worried. Someone actually dared to impersonate the Fifth Prince who died tragically in Fengyang City. The Second Prince and the Fifth Prince have a deep brotherly bond, so naturally we can't just sit back and watch. We must find this imposter and bring peace to the Fifth Prince's soul!"
Hua Qiu said sternly, "Your Highness the Second Prince has devoted so much effort to the Fifth Prince's spirit in heaven. I truly admire you!"
Xiao Chufeng's smile widened. "Well, let's ask the Great Elder to come and discuss this. Not long ago, I sent some people north of Huling and found the traces of the impostor. Unfortunately, there were strong guards, and all my people were killed. But I guess the impostor didn't take the official road. So, he must be trying to cross Huling, avoid the official road, go straight to Luling Town, and take the route of Yancheng and continue south."
Hua Qiu's eyes flickered slightly. "Because of the Second Prince's deep brotherly love, many young disciples of my Hua family have searched everywhere, but there is still no news. City Lord Xiao, what is it that you are looking for me to discuss?"
Xiao Chufeng's expression gradually grew serious. "According to my people's speculation, this imposter is probably accompanied by a master of the Tongtian realm!"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted outside: "Immediately pass the order, all disciples who are out on missions, return to the clan!"
"Yes, Great Elder!" someone answered from outside.
Xiao Chufeng glanced at Hua Qiu and said, "The Great Elder is wise. If there is a master in the Tongtian realm, anyone below the Tongtian realm will die!"
"That's right!" Hua Qiu nodded.
"Furthermore, we still don't know which of the three realms of Tongtian that expert is at. Each realm is vastly different. Therefore, I have specially invited the Great Elder to come, hoping that the Great Elder can arrange for a few Tongtian Realm experts to assist me in setting up an ambush in Luling Town and killing the person impersonating the Fifth Prince!"
Hua Qiu laughed: "City Lord Xiao, it is my duty to help the Second Prince, but..."
Having said that, Hua Qiu looked at Xiao Chufeng.
Xiao Chufeng's expression became serious. "The reward is naturally half for each of us. How about that?"
"I want 80%!" Hua Qiu smiled.
Xiao Chufeng was stunned: "Great Elder, 80%, isn't that too high?"
"City Lord Xiao, you're in the imperial court, and it's your job to work for the Second Prince. You've been appreciated by the Second Prince and have risen to prominence, yet you still care about those few resources?" Hua Qiu laughed cunningly. "Furthermore, if the impostor's companions are above the Second Level of Tongtian Realm, then City Lord Xiao's retainers probably won't be a solution, right?"
Xiao Chufeng frowned, not expecting Hua Qiu to speak so loudly.
But at this moment!
Xiao Chufeng and Hua Qiu's expressions changed drastically!
They rushed out of the door in an instant, flew high into the sky, and looked towards the north.
Even from a long distance, one can still see the shocking changes in the sky.
"Great Elder, who is this person who can actually cause a catastrophe?"
"Could it be that the guards from the direction of Hu Ling are the ones pretending to be the Fifth Prince?" Hua Qiu's expression also became very solemn.
Several other Tongtian Realm masters from the City Lord's Mansion flew high into the sky and looked towards the north with shocked expressions.
Even though they were thousands of miles away, even masters of the Tongtian realm like them could still feel the terrifying aura.
at the same time!
The horrifying scene in Hu Ling also alarmed the strong men from many sects in Jingzhou. Even though some of them were far away, they still felt a fear from the depths of their souls.
And on the Black Cliff Mountain in Hu Ling, an enchanting woman stood on the cliff, looking at the terrifying lightning that seemed to be very close, with a look of fear on her face.
"Who is this powerful person? Why did he come to this barren mountain in Huling?" The woman's face turned pale. "No, I have to go out and hide away!"
After a while, the woman flew away towards the south.
…
It's dawn!
On the Wangque Tower in Luling Town, a woman with a light veil on her face sat by the window, looking at a few slightly disheveled people who had just walked in from the gate of Luling Town.
There was a strange glow in the woman's slightly narrow eyes, which made her seem less charming and gentle, and more fierce.
There were drinks and snacks in front of the woman, but she didn't touch a single bite.
At this moment, the woman's eyes were fixed on the four people who had just entered Luling Town, two old people and two children.
The moment the woman saw the young man carrying a little girl on his back, the wine glass in front of her was covered with cracks and then shattered, but no sound was made in the process.
"Oh, you're really caring, carrying me on your back!"
…
Chen An and a few others hurried to Luling Town, but it was already dawn.
Old Tang and Anfu were in a terrible state, and that kid Huangfu Yu simply couldn't walk halfway.
Chen An was so angry when he saw Huangfu Yu, who was pampered and could not walk as delicately as a woman, that he simply carried Huangfu Yu on his back and ran away to prevent this guy from holding him back!
There was no way, Chen An was strong and healthy, he ran more than two hundred miles and was still full of energy, nothing happened!
After entering the city, Chen An saw the Wangque Tower at a glance: "Rest for a while and buy some horses later. You are walking so slowly, it will waste time!"
Old Tang panted heavily, glanced at Wangque Tower, and coughed: "Boy, how about changing places?"
"The Wangque Tower has the best location. You see, it's the highest. Sitting near the window, you can observe the slightest movement below!" General Chen An took a few people to the Wangque Tower.
Old Tang stood there for a while, glanced upstairs, sighed inexplicably, and followed.
