City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the hall, the light was dim, making the standing figure look majestic and profound. He was lost in thought, and in silence, it seemed as if the whole world was silent.

"He was able to suppress and kill Qing Huo and Ma Xue Zheng. He is indeed an expert."

There were sounds of admiration coming from the deep space. The Lord of Burning City finally took Chen Sheng seriously. Qing Huo and Ma Xue Zheng were not weaklings, but they were still killed. This shows how powerful the opponent was.

"You take over this cause and effect."

He was very clear about the details of that battle and had heard about it. Mr. Chen took on the grudges and causes and consequences for the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce and was not afraid of him.

In this way, there is no possibility of turning around and negotiating!

"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

The Lord of Burning City made up his mind and finally decided to kill Chen. His original intention was to subdue him, but he couldn't do so, so he had to kill him.

then……

There was confirmed news that the Lord of Fencheng invited Chen Sheng to his mansion for a chat. He spoke politely, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, a means of luring someone into a trap.

This is not groundless. Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce did receive a letter that was specially left for Mr. Chen.

"You are welcome."

Mr. Chen opened the letter and saw only four words on it, which were extremely concise and signed "Wu Nan".

Wu Nan is the name of the Lord of Burning City. Before he attacked Chen Sheng, he performed all the necessary etiquette, which really showed that he "valued" him.

At least, Lu Wangsheng didn't have this treatment before.

"The Lord of Burning City has taken action himself."

Lu Wangsheng felt a sense of pressure. The methods of the Lord of Burning City were extremely unfathomable. When he was attacked before, he had no ability to fight back.

In addition, Qing Huo, the owner of Baibao Tower who was looking for trouble, and Ma Xuezhen, the leader of the enemy, were both big figures in Fencheng, but they were sent by Wu Nan without any complaints, which made the Lord of Fencheng even more terrifying.

"It's filled with murderous intent."

Han Fang saw murderous intent in the handwriting above. He thought that the Lord of Fencheng was not in a kind mood when he picked up the pen.

"Nothing, just a short walk."

Among the people present, Mr. Chen had the calmest expression. He took a look at the letter and didn't take it to heart.

“Don’t be careless.”

There was a gleam of light in Lu Shaoqing's eyes. He was very anxious and confused, but he didn't know what to do. He felt very uncomfortable.

"You can take any of the Thimble Merchants' that you think can be used."

Lu Wangsheng knew that this battle was inevitable and very dangerous. They could not help, and the only thing they could do was to open the treasury and allow Chen Sheng to make backup plans.

"No……"

Mr. Chen waved his hand.

He has a profound foundation and has practiced Taoism for thousands of years. He is not afraid of the Lord of Burning City at all and does not feel any pressure.

…

A letter caused turmoil in Fencheng and panic among the people of Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce, but Chen Sheng's life rhythm was not affected.

In his spare time, he would go into the Sutra Library and read some miscellaneous books. He learned that the imperial capital of the Yuanliang Dynasty was called the Divine Capital, and that there were thirteen continents in the world, which was vast and boundless.

There are twelve extremely ancient surnames, four major border towns, as ferocious as tigers, and some Taoist sects and religions that have left disasters for thousands of years.

The more he learned, the more he felt that the waters of the Yuanliang Dynasty were extremely deep, far beyond the reach of a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the Golden Core Realm.

As usual, Mr. Chen read until the sky darkened and the moon was overhead. He stood up, returned to his room, sat upright on the bed, and cultivated his energy to relax his mind.

"It's time to meet the Lord of the Burning City."

When the sunlight climbed into the door, Mr. Chen opened his eyes with bright eyes, got off the bed, and slowly walked outside.

The trouble with the Lord of the Burning City should be solved. Soon, he will have to rush to the Divine Capital to seek the status of a subordinate of the Keeper of the Treasury.

"Sir, you have to go out."

Han Fang said solemnly.

He couldn't even deal with Ma Xuezheng. When he thought about facing the Lord of Burning City, his heart sank and he was worried about Chen Sheng's safety.

"The Lord of Burning City is very deep, you must be careful."

Lu Wangsheng reminded them over and over again that the Lord of Burning City was the most powerful and mysterious cultivator in this area, and one must not be careless when facing him.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

A breeze blew, and the hair on Lu Shaoqing's temples swayed slightly. She looked weak, but there was an indelible firmness. Her eyes fell on Chen Sheng, full of expectation.

"knew……"

Mr. Chen turned around casually, waved his hand behind him, and gradually walked away.

His appearance caused the long street to stagnate for a moment, and then it became lively again. However, the eyes of the tourists fell on him more or less, with expressions of surprise and regret.

Mr. Chen just pretended that no one else was around, and walked calmly towards the City Lord's Mansion one step at a time.

"I am coming……"

After a while, he saw a majestic mansion with high steps and thresholds. Even the monk guarding the gate felt like he was looking down on the area.

He took a step forward, walked up the steps, and came to the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The monks on both sides saw him and came forward to lead the way.

"Dear guest, follow me."

Chen Sheng was not treated with contempt, and the monk who led the way was very polite. It might be because the Lord of Burning City had given instructions, or it might be because the deaths of Qing Huo and Ma Xue Zheng had created a kind of deterrent.

In short, he was led to walk in the City Lord's Mansion, see the rockery and flowing water, and the multiple palace doors, and finally stepped onto a seven-story attic.

On the top of the attic stood an old man with a sturdy build and wearing a gorgeous robe. He looked down at the mountains and the land with full of majesty.

"What are you looking at?"

Mr. Chen said casually.

"The entire Burning City is in my hands."

Wu Nan turned around, surprise flashed in his eyes. Chen Sheng's reaction was too calm, which was beyond his expectations.

In an instant, he put aside his doubts, straightened his body, stretched out a hand, and took Fencheng in his hand, as if the whole world and mountains and rivers were in his hand.

"Not necessarily. It's more likely that I'm blinded by one leaf."

Chen Sheng shook his head. There are always flaws in the secrets of heaven, and it is impossible for a cultivator to calculate everything. The Lord of Burning City is capable, but too ruthless. He plans to hold Burning City tightly with his own strength and leave no chance for others to survive.

No capable person can accept this kind of practice and will suffer disaster sooner or later.

"If you don't listen, just deal with it."

Wu Nan disagreed and was very confident. The two of them argued with each other and neither of them gave in, which was extremely sharp.

"boom"

Suddenly, a collision occurred above the attic, and the aura of Jindan Zhenren dissipated in wisps, like thousands of falling auspicious colors, rushing across the sky and filling the void, making the two towering and motionless figures look like gods from heaven.

"The Golden Core Realm Great Perfection is really unexpected."

There was an indescribable cautiousness in Wu Nan's words. He already thought highly of Chen Sheng, but when he faced him directly, he was still a little surprised and shocked.

A cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the Golden Core Realm can be considered a powerful figure in the Yuanliang Dynasty. It is strange that he remains so unknown in the Dingzhen Chamber of Commerce.

"This level of cultivation cannot bring about earth-shaking changes in the Yuanliang Dynasty, so what is there to be praised about it?"

This kind of combat power is enough if it is limited to a burning city, but what he has to do is to uncover the past of the Yuanliang Dynasty and reveal all the secrets, so he feels that his power is weak.

“What a courage.”

Wu Nan's eyes were shining with divine light. He liked Chen Sheng's state of mind very much. He said, "Come and help me. If we join forces, we can definitely achieve something."

He became more and more certain that this would be a good helper, stronger than Qing Huo and others, and if they joined forces, they would be able to accomplish something earth-shaking.

"No."

Mr. Chen could feel the goodwill of the Lord of Burning City, but he still rejected it sternly, thinking that people with different ideals cannot work together.

"pity……"

Hearing this, Wu Nan felt extremely sorry and his murderous intent increased. The more he thought highly of Chen Sheng, the more he didn't want him to live.

He moved, and there was no trace in the sky. The energy in his right hand flowed, his flesh and blood were shining, and his bones were shining, just like a sword. The sharp edge came out from his two fingers and stabbed towards Chen Sheng.

"clang"

Chen Sheng took out the iron sword quickly and swiftly. The sword body was pitch black and naturally exuded a murderous aura, like a ferocious beast lurking in the mountains. Once it was activated, the temperature of the void dropped sharply and a terrifying sword light burst out.

"What a fierce sword."

Wu Nan raised his eyebrows, not daring to touch the edge of the iron sword lightly. He waved his hand, and the sword intent whistled out like a strong wind, but his body stopped.

"clatter"

Chen Sheng's iron sword cut through all the laws. He stepped forward and flew out like a divine bird. The iron sword in his hand turned, and the sword light flashed, killing Wu Nan. The latter dodged and flew away, moving as fast as a dragon in a small space.

"You are a great enemy."

The sword's will soared into the sky, and the railings and rooftops seemed to be blown away by the wind. Looking around, everything was in sight, a vast and desolate world.

Wu Nan's clothes were torn into pieces, his temples were disheveled, and he felt the danger under the iron sword.

"Buzz"

His expression became solemn, and he shook his hand, holding a "Fire Halberd". This was a top-level third-level weapon, heavy and majestic, as if condensed from flames, and had the ability to burn the sky.

"go!"

Chen Sheng stood still, and with a thought, the iron sword in his hand flew out, exuding a murderous aura, like an evil dragon, disturbing the sky and making the surroundings dark.

Suddenly, the iron sword came out with boundless momentum, and it also contained a thrilling assassination.

“Boom…”

Wu Nan released all the magic power in his body and used the Lieyuan Fire Halberd to illuminate the sky. The red light broke through the gray sword intent and his figure was revealed as he pierced through the iron swords of the fight.

He held the Fiery Halberd and chopped it down horizontally. His unparalleled fighting power shook the void and hit the iron sword.

"Bang"

The iron sword trembled, and he was not afraid at all. He fought hard with a Fiery Fire Halberd, but was unable to do anything to Wu Nan, so he asked Chen Sheng to recall him.

He poured his magic power into the sword, and the pitch-black sword body glowed with light. The sword edge became prominent, as if it had grown three inches for no reason, and it slashed towards Wu Nan.

"clang"

Wu Nan's whole body was surging with magical power. He looked awe-inspiring as he held the Fiery Halberd and smashed it down fiercely.

The sword intent broke Su, and Chen Sheng turned his hand, and the sword flew across the air, absorbing the essence of ten directions and blocking Wu Nan's attack.

“Spring comes to a dead tree”

Wu Nan retracted the Lieyuan Fire Halberd, made a gesture with his hands, and pointed towards the attic under his feet. The four directions shook, and the withered wood that had long been dead suddenly came to life, sprouting vines that coiled around Chen Sheng.

"boom"

Chen Sheng stomped his feet, this time mobilizing the might of the Rixi Divine Illumination Body, directly shattering the Taoist rhyme of the dead tree giving birth to spring, and the entire attic fell apart.

He rushed out like a divine bird that had flown out of a cage, his aura was overwhelming, his muscles and body were glowing, and he could strike across the sky.

"kill"

Chen Sheng shouted the sound of killing, and the iron sword in his hand hummed, emitting a murderous aura, but he did not use it. Instead, he clenched his other hand into a fist and struck down.

The void exploded and all directions shook, as if some terrifying divine object had destroyed the balance and all tangible objects were shattered.

"puff……"

Wu Nan gathered his strength to fight, but was defeated and retreated. His body flipped in the air and he barely stood still. The blood gushing from his mouth dyed his robe red.

"Such a body is too scary."

He looked at Chen Sheng's body and felt fearful. It was rare to find cultivators who took the path of becoming saints through the physical body in the Yuanliang Dynasty.

"I told you not to be so arrogant."

Chen Sheng said calmly.

Not long after he came to the Yuanliang Dynasty, he met the Lord of Burning City, an enemy of the same level. However, there are so many powerful people in the world, so he should not be proud.

"snort……"

Although Wu Nan grew up in the Yuan and Liang dynasties, in terms of courage, he was certainly not as capable as Chen Sheng, who ended an era in the border areas. He regarded the latter's advice as a mockery.

Feeling indignant, he practiced a secret technique called "Huo Wen Condensing Qi Technique", which allowed him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it into nine divine patterns on his body surface.

Now that the divine pattern was formed, his body began to exude a primitive and vast aura, and he also gained the ability to fight against a physical body.

Chen Sheng rushed over, his body crushing the void with a roaring sound, and the fiery blood surged in his body like a sun. He stretched out his hand to knock it down, filled with a domineering aura.

This time, Wu Nan showed no sign of giving in. He shook his body, and divine patterns appeared in his body, emitting immortal light that endowed him with tyrannical fighting power. He punched out with one punch, directly hitting Chen Sheng.

"boom"

Two terrifying forces, a fight and competition, the sky was safe and sound, but with a hint of distortion, if you put a piece of iron or stone in it, it would be crushed into dust.

"How is it now?"

After Wu Nan's attack, he was unharmed. He stood in the void and regained his strong appearance, overlooking the entire Fencheng like a master.

"After all, it's not something I have cultivated myself."

Chen Sheng said calmly.

He has been taking steady steps along the way. He can be slow, but he never takes shortcuts. Even though the secret technique of the Lord of the Burning City is powerful, it cannot last long and is ultimately not good.

“Boom…”

As soon as he finished speaking, his Rixi Shenzhao body completely revived. His body was like colored glaze, and his blood was like an ocean that reflected the red sky. The iron sword in his hand also emitted a little red light.

He mobilized his extremely strong body, held the fierce sword, stirred up a storm, and slashed forward.

"boom"

This sword was extremely powerful, contained an extreme edge, and was mixed with terrifying strength. It was by no means a simple attack.

Wu Nan activated the Huo Wen Qi Condensation Technique. His body became like a whirlpool, swallowing up all the spiritual ideas in the sky and sealing them in the divine patterns to borrow powerful combat power.

He swung the Fiery Halberd, and the entire sky was dyed red, with the clouds swaying, as if the sky was shattered.

"clang"

When the magic soldiers clashed, the sound of metal crackling was extremely sharp, containing some kind of terrifying penetrating power, which washed away the smoke and haze in the sky and turned it into mist and dispersed it.

If this happened on the ground, all the mortals in the Burning City would surely die, and even the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage would cough up blood.
