Zhou Ran glanced at Xiahou Chun and the others, then looked at the people in the distance, and said loudly: "You don't have to rush back, this city lord has heard a lot of rumors along the way, and I have to verify them with you one by one." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ran said to Kunyu: "Tell Yuzhou Ferry that no ferry is allowed to leave without my order." ”

Kun Yu didn't say a word, and let the white feather luanniao carry him and Star-Lord to fly in the direction of Yuzhou Ferry.

A star powerhouse didn't know whether he was angry that Zhou Ran was so strong, or if he was really a thief, so he hid among several star powerhouses and shouted loudly: "City Lord Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Ran smiled faintly and asked Xiahou Chun and the others: "Who is this?"

The Warden did not hesitate, and replied respectfully: "The ancestor of the Sheng family in the Black Territory is Sheng Guangguo. ”

"Shang Qingluo. ”

Zhou Ran looked at a group of innate realms in the distance, and said with a smile: "I'll give you three days, and after three days, I don't want there to be a Sheng family in the Black Territory." ”

In that group of innate realms, young men dressed in white and unstained walked out slowly.

This young man is naturally one of the descendants of the seven veins of Tianwu Peak, Shang Qingluo.

Shang Qing was still followed by the young man, who still looked a little yellow and thin.

Since Shang Qingluo came to Yuzhou City, he has been living in a simple place and rarely shows up, even if many people don't know what the noble Tianwu Feng's descendants look like, at this time, Zhou Ran called out the three words Shang Qingluo, so the person who came out should be Shang Qingluo.

The surrounding innate realms all retreated far away, and Sheng Guangguo, the old ancestor of the Sheng family who spoke before, was shocked: "City Lord Zhou, you can't do too much to be a human being!"

Zhou Ran didn't look at Sheng Guangguo at all, and sneered: "Two days." ”

Sheng Guangguo was about to speak again, but Shang Qingluo immediately swept away with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to say one more word, the Sheng family is not just a person above the innate realm!"

Sheng Guangguo really didn't dare to say a word, and several star powerhouses around him not only didn't dare to plead, but also avoided all of them like the plague.

Sheng Guangguo was extremely frightened, and the dignified ancestor of the Sheng Family Star Vertical Realm knelt down directly in front of countless people.

Zhou Ran looked at Shang Qingluo and said with a smile: "It seems that your words are more effective than mine." ”

Shang Qingluo's face was ugly, but he didn't say a word.

Shang Qingluo, who is now at the peak of his innate nature, was the first person to come here to watch the battle, and his strength was comparable to that of the second turn of Xingzhong, and he saw it clearly from beginning to end. But he never expected that he had been practicing hard for almost three years, but the result was that the gap between him and Zhou Ran seemed to be even bigger than three years ago.

The old city of Yuzhou City, which was rebuilt from part of the former Yuzhou College, is the city lord's mansion.

Zhou Ran had a cursory meeting with the others, leaving only a few important people in Yuzhou City.

Prison City Chu Zhu was in front, Xiahou Chun, Fan Li and the Warden Department followed, and more than a dozen people currently focused on cultivating in Yuzhou City, led by Yu Pingping, stood at the back.

Zhou Ran sat on the main seat, and the two boys, Star-Lord and Kunyu, took the initiative to stand on Zhou Ran's left and right.

I don't know if Chen Shizhi, who had already set off for the Sword Sea, and the Immortal Crossing Heavenly Hall Hall Lord would be so angry that they wanted to kill when they saw this scene.

"Meet the Castle Lord!"

Chu Zhu led everyone to salute again.

Zhou Ran quietly looked at the people in front of him, and only after a moment did he let everyone get up.

Zhou Ran said a few words to more than ten people in Yu Balance, and asked them to go down first, leaving only Chu Zhu and Xiahou Chun, and then letting Kun Yu be brought in by Fu Chunqiu, who had sealed the dantian qi sea with the power of his divine thoughts.

Chu Zhu looked at Fu Chunqiu, and Fu Chunqiu also looked at Chu Zhu.

In the past three years, the two, who are 300 years apart in age, have secretly fought countless times, and it is only today that they meet each other for the first time.

Chu Zhu smiled and bowed slightly to Fu Chunqiu.

Although Fu Chunqiu also had a smile on his face, there was an undersurge in his eyes.

Three years ago, when Fu Chunqiu first came to Yuzhou City, he had a glance at Chu Zhu from a distance, and at that time, he could see at a glance that Chu Zhu's cultivation qualifications were not even average. Now goodbye, this kid who had been asserted by himself that it was almost impossible to ascend to the innate third realm actually reached the third refining of the True Yuan, and he was only half a step away from the consummation of the third refining of the true yuan, which is really incredible!

Fu Chunqiu's gaze swept over Zhou Ran, Kunyu, and Star-Lord, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been really hard for him to believe that there were so many talented people in a small Yuzhou city.

Zhou Ran's original idea was to return to Yuzhou City and directly take Star-Lord and Kun Yu back through the teleportation array in that cave, but after seeing Lin Fengmian, the helmsman with a very unusual identity said that Zhou Ran would let him see Chu Zhu with his own eyes, so he let him stay for the time being. And seeing Chu Zhu again after three years, the surprise and shock in Zhou Ran's heart were no less than Fu Chunqiu.

Kun Yu has become amazingly talented, and so has Star-Lord, and now even Chu Zhu has changed so much, but Zhou Ran still doesn't realize that the changes in these three people are all related to him.

Without discussing with everyone, and without the intention of opening up to everyone, Zhou Ran said directly: "From today onwards, the position of Yuzhou City Supervisor City will be handed over to Fu Chunqiu. ”

This decision was not usually sudden, and almost everyone expected it.

Zhou Ran didn't explain, but continued to say to Xiahou Chun and the others: "The authority of the Great Array will be divided into three parts, and the three of you will be in charge. ”

Fan Li looked at Chu Zhu, who was speechless, and couldn't help but ask, "City Lord, what is the ...... of Chu Prison City?"

Zhou Ran smiled lightly: "Chu Zhu will leave with me for a while." ”

After hearing Zhou Ran's words, Xiahou Chun and the three of them were a little relieved, but when they looked at Fu Chunqiu, there was a little sadness in their eyes. After all, this is a star vertical peak existence, and it was still a big problem in Yuzhou City before today. Although he lost to Zhou Ran, listening to Zhou Ran's meaning, he would not stay in Yuzhou City at all. If Zhou Ran is not there, who else in Yuzhou City can control him?

Zhou Ran didn't care about the worries of Xiahou Chun and the others, just looked at Fu Chunqiu quietly, and tapped his fingers on the table one by one.

Fu Chunqiu also stared at Zhou Ran's eyes, he guessed that Zhou Ran might have other uses if he didn't kill himself, but he didn't expect that Zhou Ran would directly let him replace Chu Zhu as the supervisor of Yuzhou City.

After briefly explaining these two things, Zhou Ran took Star-Lord and Kunyu to see Shang Qingluo.

Seeing that Zhou Ran didn't say anything until he left, Xiahou Chun and the others asked Chu Zhu: "Prison City, we will ...... in the future."

"I'm not a prisoner now. ”

Chu Zhu naturally knew what Xiahou Chun and the others were worried about, but he didn't say anything, he looked at Fu Chunqiu, who was still looking at him, and said with a smile: "Fu Jian City, congratulations!"

According to the current point of view, the development momentum of Yuzhou City is indeed good, but it has lost one of the thirty-six factions, Qianjue Gate to rely on, if it is not for the construction of a cross-regional ferry here in Tianhewu, maybe it is not even an eighth-class city now. And without decades of accumulation and development, it is almost impossible to develop to the current scale of Fufeng City. But even if it is Fufeng City of a seventh-rank city, it is a bit overkill to let Fu Chunqiu, who is at the peak of the Star Vertical Realm, be the city lord.

Normally, only the city lords of fifth-rank cities are the pinnacle of starry existence.

Fifth-class cities are often in the hands of the big factions, and the position of the city lord of such giant cities must be held by high-ranking and powerful cronies within the big faction. For example, if a wild cultivator like Fu Chunqiu, who has no background, is put into the door, at most he can get an idle elder to do it, unless he is willing to sacrifice the Heavenly Soldier Open Mountain and Moon, Star and Moon Spirit Treasure Thousand Peaks Diagram, maybe he can really get the position of the city lord of a fifth-class city.

For Fu Chunqiu, Yuzhou City is indeed too small.

But does he have a choice?

Fu Chunqiu shook his head at Chu Zhu and said, "The prison city of Yuzhou City is still surnamed Chu. ”

Chu Zhu was noncommittal, but Xiahou Chun and the three of them were thoughtful.

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Shang Qingluo's master and servant were waiting here.

The thin and low servant who had barely changed three years ago and three years later was named Ding Sanjin, and the servant who was picked up by Shang Qingluo from the side of the road vaguely remembered that the reason why he was called this name was because he weighed only three catties when he was born.

Shang Qingluo was not as suspicious as Fu Chunqiu, but he only believed in two people, one was Ding Sanjin and the other was himself.

Even the blood grandfather who regarded him as the heir to the mantle, Shang Qingluo never really believed it.

No matter where he went, Shang Qingluo would take Ding Sanjin with him, but he would never say anything to Ding Sanjin, and Ding Sanjin would never ask.

When Zhou Ran arrived with Star-Lord and Kunyu, Shang Qingluo was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, while Ding Sanjin was squatting outside the pavilion to watch the ants, and the cloud-swallowing bag hanging from his waist was still the one from three years ago.

When the first snow at the east gate came to Yuzhou City, he personally handed it back to Ding Sanjin.

Zhou Ran nodded to Ding Sanjin, who was looking at him, Ding Sanjin was a little flattered, and stood up in a panic to get out of the way.

Shang Qingluo didn't die, but took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran sat down opposite and drank the tea.

Tasting this kind of thing, tea is not important, water is not important, what matters is with whom.

Zhou Ran didn't feel that he had this friendship with Shang Qingluo.

Shang Qingluo filled Zhou Ran's teacup again, and then said: "The soul bead has a clue, give me another two years." ”

Only when he really searched for it, Shang Qingluo knew how difficult it was to find the soul bead, and he used almost most of the secret channels of Tianwu Peak through his grandfather to get a clue to the soul bead.

Zhou Ran smiled lightly and said, "If you are not in a hurry, I will not be in a hurry." ”

Shang Qingluo's expression was calm, and he said again: "Yuanhong Sword recognizes you as the master?"

"Nope. ”

Zhou Ran said: "Because I didn't agree." ”

Shang Qingluo's face was slightly gloomy, but his tone remained unchanged, and he said, "City Lord Zhou can't look down on a heavenly soldier?"

"It's not. ”

Zhou Ran thought about it and said seriously: "It has nothing to do with whether I look at it or not, I just feel that the Yuanhong Sword is not what I want." ”

Shang Qingluo looked at Zhou Ran very seriously this time, he was surprised by Zhou Ran's words, and felt that it was reasonable for Zhou Ran to say this. As a descendant of the Middle Nine Gate Tianwu Peak, he naturally knew that the higher the grade of the weapon, the better, and the right one was the best. It's just that Shang Qingluo understands better that even if the Yuanhong Sword is not what Zhou Ran wants, it is impossible for him to return that heavenly weapon to himself.

At least it won't be an unconditional exchange of heavenly soldiers.

A hundred miles away from the old city of Yuzhou City, there is a small mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles.

This mountain range is the place chosen by Wu Keming to train his troops, and one of the small mountains hides the cave where Wu Keming and Zhou Ran stepped into this world. So far, this secret is only known to Wu Keming and Zhou Ran.

At this time, Zhou Ran was standing in front of the cave.

Behind Zhou Ran, there are Star-Lord and Kunyu, Chu Zhu, who has relieved his identity as a prisoner, and Shang Qingluo, the master and servant.

Late yesterday, Zhou Ran handed over the Yuanhong Sword to Shang Qingluo, in exchange for the star peak existence who had been secretly protecting Shang Qingluo, to appear and meet Fu Chunqiu.

During the time when Zhou Ran took Shang Qingluo away, that Tianwu Peak powerhouse was responsible for keeping an eye on Fu Chunqiu.

Perhaps Fu Chunqiu, who was at the peak of the starry realm, did not take this small Yuzhou City in his eyes, but Yuzhou City's status in Zhou Ran's heart was very important. As long as Yuzhou City is in hand, even if he can't figure out what the connection between the military and this heaven and earth is, he can still attack, retreat and defend.

However, Zhou Ran never met Wu Keming after returning to Yuzhou City.

The two chief instructors of the Blood Army have their own thoughts.

This cave is only a few zhang in circumference, and if you only look at it with the naked eye, there is nothing special about it. If you probe with mental power, you can vaguely feel some faint formations. Only by looking at it with the power of divine thoughts can we see an intricate array diagram. But if you want to see the formation diagram clearly, you must have an extremely deep power of divine thought to do it.

Zhou Ran took the five people to the cave, and before the five of them could react, he took the first step to attract the formation with the power of divine thoughts.

The teleportation platform set up by the Nine Sects uses the spiritual source as the driving energy, and the movement during the teleportation is very large, but this special teleportation array in the cave that is attracted by the power of divine thoughts is almost not moving at all.

Including Zhou Ran, the six of them only felt that the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly froze for a moment, and then they felt that the world was spinning.

Whether it is a teleportation platform with a spiritual source as an energy source, or a teleportation array in the cave that is driven by the power of divine thoughts, the tearing power and crushing power in the transmission process are terrifying, usually only when you reach the Star Vertical Realm can you have the strength to protect yourself, and the ordinary innate realm is very likely to suffer heavy damage during the teleportation process, or even be torn apart alive or crushed to death.

Teleporting six people at a time is a bit overloaded with Zhou Eryan, and he must also concentrate on pushing the teleportation array with the power of his divine thoughts, so as not to have an accident during the teleportation process, and he is unable to take care of the people around him at all.

Fortunately, Kunyu has a secret treasure on his body, which is enough to protect him and Star-Lord, Shang Qingluo's own strength is comparable to the second turn of Xingzhong, and he can easily protect himself. Ding Sanjin, whose strength is only in the second realm of the congenital realm, is a little unbearable, and there have been several times when he was on the verge of death, but Shang Qingluo rescued him in time.

It's only half an hour, Kunyu and Star-Lord don't feel anything, but Shang Qingluo and Ding Sanjin feel that it's longer than three days.

When the intense feeling of dizziness finally subsided, Shang Qingluo's master and servant almost collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Ran's face was also a little pale, and the breath on his body was still stable.

Star-Lord asked, "Young Master, have you arrived?"

Zhou Ran nodded and looked up at this pitch-black ghost cave that was almost exactly the same as in his memory.

Spit out the turbid breath that had been pressed in his heart for nearly three years, Zhou Ran said in a low voice:

"Finally back. ”
