After Ling Shan left, Yuan Zhiping's expression suddenly lost its composure and turned into solemnity.
He didn't tell the truth to his daughter.
He could roughly guess what the city lord was planning.
The city lord must not know that the Sky Realm Stone was lost, otherwise, his Yuan family would be in danger of collapse in an instant.
However, he also knew in his heart that the truth would come out soon.
There were only two options before him. One was to pack up everything immediately and flee Xitian City with his family, trying to survive as long as possible.
And the other way...
He sat at the table, his expression changing for a long time, and finally reached out to touch the storage ring and took out a communication talisman.
"My Lord City Lord, the Sky Realm Stone has been obtained and sealed in the Ancestral Box. It will take a few days to unseal it."
After his spiritual consciousness imprinted this message, Yuan Zhiping took a deep breath and directly activated the communication talisman.
Whoosh——
The communication talisman suddenly turned into a streak of light and leaped into the void, disappearing.
What follows is an agonizing wait.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...an hour passed.
Yuan Zhiping stared intently at the ever-calm void, cold sweat gradually forming on his palms.
Does the city lord already know?
Impossible. Jing'er clearly said that except for her and Lingshan, everyone on the spirit boat had fainted, and the five of them knew about the Sky Realm Stone.
No, there is also that female cultivator!
Yuan Zhiping's face changed slightly, and he was about to take action, but at this moment, a communication talisman engraved with the City Lord's Mansion logo finally flew over.
Yuan Zhiping's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he reached out to take it and put it between his eyebrows.
"Please unseal it properly and wait for the disciples of Piaoxue Palace to leave before sending the things back."
After reading the reply, Yuan Zhiping couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his expression visibly relaxed.
There is an unwritten rule in the world of cultivation in Xizhou.
Fang Cun Ji can only be mastered by top sects of rank six and above. If a sect below rank six dares to get involved, it will be targeted by all top sects.
Of course, there are also some independent cultivators with powerful cultivation bases who possess Fang Cun Ji in their hands and are difficult to deal with and kill.
In addition, this group of people are not afraid of those wearing shoes when they are barefoot, and the top sects are unwilling to provoke them, so they turn a blind eye and allow them to establish large and small wild markets everywhere.
The Lord of Xitian City is affiliated with the Wuji Immortal Sect. Obviously, he is not a barefoot person, nor is he a formal disciple of the Wuji Immortal Sect.
This is a taboo.
If the people of Piaoxue Palace knew that the Lord of Xitian City was planning to take over Fangcunji, trouble would definitely arise.
Now the disciple of Piaoxue Palace is living in the City Lord's Mansion. If the City Lord is cautious enough, he will never let him hand over the Sky Realm Stone at this time.
He had guessed about the twists and turns here before.
But speculation is just speculation after all, and it makes him feel uneasy.
Now that he received the reply and his guess was confirmed, he was relieved.
If nothing unexpected happens, the disciples of Piaoxue Palace will stay in the City Lord's Mansion until seven months later to participate in the auction.
If we can recover the Sky Realm Stone from Taoist Huang Quan within these seven months, this disaster can be avoided!
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Xitian City is becoming more and more lively, and all the inns, big and small, in the city are full of guests.
As the number of monks increased, disputes naturally increased. When enemies met, they became extremely jealous of each other and fought directly in the streets, which was very lively.
Fortunately, they all knew that Xitian City was a subsidiary city of the Wuji Xianzong. Apart from the mortal enemies, the rest of the people were relatively restrained and did not cause too much trouble.
Xiang Sheng was completely unaware of the hustle and bustle outside.
In the past half month, apart from looking at the information jade slips delivered to the inn every day, she spent the rest of her time on the jade box.
To be precise, he was attracted by the seal on the jade box.
The nature of this seal is completely different from the ones used in the current cultivation world. It is composed of nine snake and insect symbol seals that are connected to each other.
Xiang Sheng could guess its function by comparing it with the snake and insect patterns. It should be to limit spatial fluctuations.
This method of isolating fluctuations is not very sophisticated, but its operating logic is similar to the incomprehensible part of the teleportation array in the Ancestral Demon Temple.
She naturally became interested and wanted to set aside a month to study it thoroughly.
Unfortunately, the person who set up the seal had too low a cultivation level, and the runes were too weak to withstand repeated tossing and turning, and were completely worn out in just half a month.
Although half a month was a short time, it allowed her to confirm that these snake and insect runes were exactly what she needed.
If she could restore the structure of the teleportation array, perhaps she wouldn't have to wait until the inheritance tower opened. She could build the teleportation array herself and leave this world.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng stuffed the jade box into his arms, went down the mountain directly to settle the room fee with the waiter, and was about to leave.
But at this moment, a master and servant walked in from outside the door, both of them were female cultivators.
The hostess walking in front walked straight up the stairs as soon as she entered. It was obvious that she was a resident of this place. Her pretty face was hidden in the mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
The maid walking behind, whose cultivation level was at the Jindan stage, was slightly behind and happened to make eye contact with Xiang Sheng.
When Xiang Sheng saw the maid's face, he was slightly surprised, then he chuckled and walked away.
The maid was attracted by the laughter and subconsciously looked back at Xiang Sheng.
This sight made her body tremble, and she froze in place.
That back...
"Xiao Tao, what are you looking at?"
A question came from the stairs.
Xiao Tao immediately came back to her senses, quickly walked back to the woman, and said to her face: "Sister Yue, I just saw that female cultivator, the back of her walking is very similar..."
Xiao Tao didn't finish her words, but the woman immediately understood what she was saying and her expression changed slightly.
"Let's talk about it back home."
