Hualong City.
Luo Hongxia followed behind one person somewhat awkwardly, glancing cautiously at the surrounding gazes.
"No need to be so nervous," Qu Tiange, who was leading the way, joked. "Hualong City doesn't eat people."
Luo Hongxia chuckled and said, "Hualong City truly lives up to its reputation. The martial artists we've encountered on this road are all significantly stronger than those back home."
"They look tall, but those little brats aren't that strong," Qu Tiange said casually.
Luo Hongxia didn't take it seriously, after all, he had seen many people with unusual expressions, just like Ye Qianqing when she was undergoing bone tempering.
It seems that Ye Qianqing's success has begun to be put into practice in Hualong City, which also means that everyone has mastered the technique of brain acupuncture.
No wonder it's one of the world's two major cities!
Tianjiao is everywhere here!
Luo Hongxia's arrival this time was also arranged by Hualong City, in order to learn more about the Taotie, the Creation Cult, living weapons, and the details of the Grandmaster's fall.
Since Dean Mo is a Venerable One, he cannot easily leave Kaitian City, so he can only choose Luo Hongxia, the person who knows him best.
After all, he was present at both times the Creation Cult caused a stir…
If the background check hadn't been flawless, Hualongcheng would have suspected that Luo Hongxia might have some issues.
What a coincidence that we were all there.
Sightseeing can wait; Qu Tiange quickly led Luo Hongxia to a building in the center of the inner city.
After seeing him into the elevator, Luo Hongxia looked at Qu Tiange outside the door with a puzzled expression, who was not planning to come in.
"The elevator will take you directly to the conference room at the top, where the City Lord is already waiting for you," Qu Tiange explained.
Luo Hongxia's expression hardened: "A meeting?"
"Yes, several Venerable Ones are also waiting for you." Qu Tiange said with a playful tone, "Good luck."

The elevator doors closed and began to slowly move upwards.
Luo Hongxia straightened his clothes in front of the smooth elevator door, let out a long breath, and began to organize his thoughts, hoping not to cause any trouble at this moment!
With the Venerable One and the Lord of Hualong City joining forces, the outcome of this meeting will inevitably determine the future direction of the three cities of Huaguo.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Luo Hongxia quickly arrived at the conference room door along the corridor.
Pushing open the door, one finds six people inside reviewing documents, all of whom, unsurprisingly, are now focused on Luo Hongxia.
"Report!"
The city lord, sitting in the main seat, looked like an ordinary person, without even the aura of a martial artist. He nodded and said, "You've come at the right time. Come in."
Closing the gate behind him, Luo Hongxia said reservedly, "Lord City Lord, greetings to all the Venerable Ones."
"No need to be so tense," the city lord joked. "Don't be fooled by their serious faces; they're all elderly folks who secretly enjoy square dancing."
"Lord of the city, is it really fair to expose someone's secrets like this?"
"Life lies in movement, right?"
"Is that exercise? Even the old ladies in the square are afraid to see you."
"Oh, I'm not picky. I just like taking some health supplements at home."
A few words of agreement eased the tension of the meeting, and Luo Hongxia's tense muscles relaxed somewhat.
The city lord got down to business: "Let's begin. First, let's talk about the Creation Cult."
Luo Hongxia pondered, "Starting from that time?"
"The very first time."
Some time later, Luo Hongxia recounted his two encounters with the Creation Cult.
The city lord slowly spoke: "Why didn't you deal with the cultists on the scene during the martial arts exam?"
His fingers tapped on the table, the sound echoing in the conference room and clearly reaching Luo Hongxia's ears, as if it were striking his heart.
“I panicked.” Luo Hongxia gave an unexpected answer: “The death of the Grandmaster made me very angry, and at the same time I realized that I had underestimated the Creation Cult.”
"In addition, nuclear weapons are stored there, which are not very effective against alien beasts, but if they are detonated in the city, they will cause huge casualties."
"Therefore I dare not delay, not even for a moment."
The city lord squinted and nodded: "I've seen your file. During the team entry assessment, you also chose to save the entire village instead of that child."
"That makes sense for you."
The city lord placed both hands on the table: "This matter is over. You have also hunted down three calamity beasts. Your merits and demerits cancel each other out."
He tossed a document onto Luo Hongxia's desk: "This is the report you submitted earlier, which states that the Creation Cult intends to build a tenth city in the wilderness and gather wilderness thieves."
Luo Hongxia nodded: "Yes."
“Alright.” The city lord paused for a moment: “But so far, there is still no news from the Wilderness Bandits about the Cult of Creation establishing a city.”
Luo Hongxia paused for a moment, then frowned slightly as he recalled what the cult leader had said: "I'm sure that's what the cult leader said, but I don't understand the specific reason why."
"The cult leader told you personally, right?"
Luo Hongxia nodded and said, "Yes."
The city lord continued, "Furthermore, he also asked you to deliver a message, which means that the Creation Cult has no malicious intent, right?"
"Yes."
"And there's one more crucial point." The city lord squinted, his words devoid of emotion.
"He invited you to join the Creation Cult, right?"
Luo Hongxia replied without hesitation, "Yes, but I refused."
The five Venerable Ones nodded slightly, and the City Lord also leaned back in his chair and nodded, saying, "The intelligent beast Taotie, Qin Sheng, the developer of living weapons, and the cult leader who has mastered gene fusion."
"The existence of the Creation Cult is already a huge threat, and I don't think anyone has any objections."
"Agreed." x5
"Luo Hongxia, let me ask you a question," the city lord suddenly said. "How long do you think it would take us to find the Creation Cult without them being exposed?"
