Chapter 70: Return to Blue Shark City
"Little prince, I still need you to bear more in the future. Although Xu Xiaodong was named the prince, Lu Caiyu was still called the same as usual.
"Senior sister is polite. Xu Xiaodong replied with a smile, he had already decided to go to Blue Shark City, so he would hand over the matter to Lu Caiyu and cultivate with peace of mind.
Lu Caiyu naturally didn't know what the negative man in front of him thought.
It only took half a month for Xu Xiaodong to rush to Blue Shark City last time when the situation was urgent, and this time he carried the Qingyan team, and the time was not very hurried, so everyone was not very anxious.
Walking along the desolate official road, seeing different customs and customs, a month later the group came to Blue Shark City.
The previous city lord had already moved out, and the group moved into the city lord's mansion.
A seven-story tower in Blue Shark City is where the City Lord's Mansion is located, and the City Lord's orders are issued from here to rule over Blue Shark City and the nearby thousands of miles.
Due to Ouyang Xia's inaction, the prestige of this tower has been replaced by the three major families of Zhao, Sun, and Cheng. There are many warriors from other countries in the city, and they are stationed in Blue Shark City when they go to the Blue Light Lake.
The news of the new city lord in the imperial capital could not be concealed at all, and after a night of fermentation, the entire Blue Shark City knew about it.
Many well-informed people know that the new city lord is a royal family who is deeply trusted by the Southern Tang Emperor, and he has been named the king of the county at a young age.
However, this new city lord doesn't seem to be very strong, and he came to Blue Shark City with a thousand-man guard.
Isn't this a sign of weakness?
In a luxuriously decorated living room, four people are pushing cups and changing lamps, respectively, a big man with a beard on his face, next to a black-faced man with a long sword, and an old man in his fifties, wearing a brocade dress with a ruthless face, and a middle-aged man in black, with a breezy appearance.
The big man and the black-faced man in the brocade robe were the heads of the Zhao family, the Sun family, and the Cheng family, respectively, and the middle-aged man in black was invited by Cheng Xiao to come over to the head of the He family.
The four of them are all late-stage cultivators at the prefecture level, and in addition to the heaven-level powerhouses in this luxury lineup, who will compete?
Zhao Tianlong shook off the wine on his beard, and sighed: "Good wine, good wine, old ghost Cheng, you have always been cunning and cunning, how can you be willing to take out such a good wine to entertain us?"
As soon as these words came out, the black-faced man put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Cheng Xiao, waiting for his explanation.
Cheng Xiao drank all the wine, shook his head and said: "Brother Zhao, this is too contrary to your will, have you drunk Cheng's wine less over the years? ”
Zhao Tianlong's eyes widened, as if he remembered some bad memories, and said angrily: "When have you Cheng Old Ghost suffered a loss, every time you drank from you, you let this old boy take a big advantage." ”
"Haha, it seems that Brother Zhao is still angry with Brother Cheng for buying your piece of spiritual land back then. The black-faced man also quipped.
"Hehe, Brother Zhao Ling and Tian were also bought by me for tens of thousands of spirit stones, and you agreed to it personally at that time, Cheng is not a bargain. Cheng Xiao said with a smile.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the short mouth of you who drank at that time, how would I have sold Linghetian to you and doubled your old boy several times later. ”
"Haha, who knows about this kind of thing, maybe the old man was blinded at the time, and the tens of thousands of spirit stones were lost. Cheng Xiao's eyes showed a look of pride, and then he said solemnly: "Brother Zhao, Brother Sun, what do you think of this new city lord?"
"I heard that this new city lord is a member of the royal family, but his cultivation level is not high?" Sun Yihuan replied.
"Brother Cheng asked, could it be that there is something special about this person, according to the information I have gotten, although this person deeply loves the trust of the Southern Tang Emperor, he is only a late Xuan-level cultivator, and he is not very old. Nantang is now in the midst of a storm, and he has long been unable to control me, Brother Cheng still wants to win over this person?" Zhao Tianlong said lightly.
Cheng Xiao was not surprised that the intelligence network of these two families was better than that of the Cheng family, and they could investigate what they could investigate, but these two people were obviously not very interested and did not investigate it seriously.
"Some time ago, my girl almost had an accident, you all know, right?" Cheng Xiao said suddenly.
"We naturally heard about this, I heard that it was a teenager who made a move, at that time, Brother Crane Aiko was with Ling Ai, and the two sides had a conflict, so Crane Xian's nephew even spent a magic talisman to escape with his life. Sun Yihuan's eyes flashed with contemplation, and he said.
"These things really can't be hidden from Brother Zhao and Brother Sun, but do you know what kind of cultivation that young man is?" Cheng Xiao looked mysterious.
Zhao Tianlong and Sun Yihuan glanced at each other, thought for a while, and Zhao Tianlong said: "To be able to defeat Hejiu definitely requires ground-level strength to do it, but Brother Cheng said so, could it be that this person defeated Hejiu in the late stage of Xuan-level?"
"Brother Cheng, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, tell me. Sun Yihuan was a little dissatisfied and urged.
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Sun to be an anxious son. Cheng Xiao laughed, "Brother He has the most say in this matter, so you two should ask him." ”
Cheng Xiao set his eyes on Heli, who had not spoken.
He Li smiled slightly, "It's not a glorious thing to say, the dog was almost killed by a mid-level martial artist with a ground-level cultivation, and he laughed generously." ”
"What??," Sun Yihuan exclaimed.
What kind of genius is this, who can defeat a martial artist of the earth-level realm in the middle of the Xuan level, could it be a person from the upper sect?
It's no wonder that Sun Yihuan thinks so, Shangzong, as the largest force in the Canglan Continent, has many geniuses in the sect, and this kind of genius can only be cultivated by Shangzong.
"No, this person is the new city lord we just mentioned! and the royal family's ability to suppress the rebellion this time also has a lot to do with this person. "Heli's words are amazing.
"It's him, how could this kind of genius emperor be willing to send him to Blue Shark City, could it be that the royal family noticed something?" Zhao Tianlong said cautiously.
"Yes, defeating a ground-level martial artist in the middle of the Xuan level is really terrifying. ”
"What Brother Sun said is a little wrong, according to reliable information, this son is now in the late stage of the Xuan level. Cheng Xiao corrected.
Zhao Tianlong and Sun Yihuan looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Tianlong was a little dissatisfied with this atmosphere, and said, "What does Brother Cheng mean by telling me these news?"
"I think Nantang can have such a genius, the qi is not exhausted, we might as well join forces with the royal family when the blue light lake changes?" Cheng Xiao was silent for a while and said what he thought in his heart.
"What? with the royal family? I don't agree. Hearing this, Zhao Tianlong's face changed greatly, and he immediately refused.
Sun Yihuan's face was not very good-looking, "Brother Cheng, you are not confused, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better, if the royal family knows, where is our share?"
"Hehe, of course I understand the concerns of Brother Zhao and Brother Sun, but after thinking about it, it is in our best interest to cooperate with the royal family. The mutation of the Blue Light Lake can not be hidden from those fanatics of Beiyue and Ziyun, they have been exploring the Blue Light Lake all year round, and their strength is not weaker than ours, if we don't find a strong helper, it will be difficult to get benefits. Cheng Xiao analyzed.
"Since we want helpers, wouldn't it be better if we can partner with these fanatics and then share the treasures? Although Nantang is down, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, so you are not afraid of luring the wolf into the house?" Zhao Tianlong retorted.
Cheng Xiao didn't get angry, and said his reasons, "The Southern Tang Dynasty won't, the rebellion in front seems to be a rebellion of the Wen family, in fact, we all know that Shangzong is fueling the flames in the back, the Southern Tang Dynasty is now in a hurry to find an alliance, and will not make a move against us, at least not until they solve the crisis, and we also need the help of a major force if we want to enter the cave." Hehe, cooperating with those fanatics, Brother Zhao doesn't know their hatred for us people in the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
"But cooperating with the royal family means being an enemy of Shangzong, this matter is too important, Rao is what you said, I still don't feel at ease, let's see if this new city lord has any expectations. Zhao Tianlong said slowly.
"Brother Zhao, this is the right move, I believe that this new city lord will not let Brother Zhao down. Cheng Xiao did not object.
