”Thank you very much.” Gu Feng cupped his fists in thanks to Huo Qing. Although he didn't know why Huo Qing had helped him, he still remembered her kindness. Right now, he couldn't repay her in any way.

”It's just a small task, what's there to worry about?” Huo Qing waved his hand. ”Plus, this time, I'm not the one helping you. There's someone else helping you.”

”Oh?” Gu Feng's brows twitched, and then he asked, ”Is it the City Lord?”

As the commander of Yan City's defensive guards, Huo Qing was under the direct jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion. If there really was someone who could get him to move, then it would be that City Lord.

”Exactly, my master wishes to meet with you.” Huo Qing stared at Gu Feng and said.

”Then please lead the way, Commander.” Gu Feng's expression was very calm, but his heart was beating like a drum. Why did this City Lord want to see me?

Seeing that Gu Feng did not resist, the smile on Huo Qing's face softened. After which, he swiftly turned around and led the way. As for the City Defense Army, they continued their mission of guarding Yan City.

Gu Feng looked at these soldiers who were very cold and filled with killing intent from Su Xiao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yan City was not located in a border city, and was considered to be an inland city. It was extremely rare for it to have such trained soldiers. From this, it could be seen how competent Huo Qing was as a commander.

After walking for two hours, they finally stopped in front of a mansion.

”Sir, this is the City Lord's Mansion. My master is waiting for you inside. I still have a mission to complete, so I'll be taking my leave first. ” Huo Qing pointed at the majestic mansion in front of them.

”Yes.” Gu Feng nodded, saluted Huo Qing, and walked towards the mansion.

”Creak.”

Gu Feng had just walked out when the wide door opened. A middle-aged scholar with a fan in his hand and a jade crown on his head walked out. ”Little Brother, please follow me.”

The scholar turned around and walked in with Gu Feng.

Gu Feng followed him through a corridor, through a large courtyard and lake, and then into a rather luxurious building. This was the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Pushing the door open, Gu Feng saw a square-faced middle-aged man sitting in the middle seat. He exuded a powerful aura, but also an imposing aura that belonged to someone at a higher position.

”This little brother, this is our City Lord.” The middle-aged scholar softly said.

Gu Feng nodded. He was not too moved. Firstly, he had already made a guess about the other party's identity, and secondly, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him. What he really wanted to know was why this city lord had invited him here.

”Indeed, a hero comes out of nowhere. With the strength of an eighth level martial arts expert, he actually managed to kill Bai Shan, who's at the first level of the swastika body. How incredible.” Feng Wuji's eyes swept across Gu Feng and couldn't help but exclaim.

As someone who had experienced this before, he was well aware of the gap between the martial arts realm and the pure body realm. Perhaps there were people who could fight those above their cultivation level, but to challenge those above their cultivation realm, it was not easy for him to do so. And for Gu Feng to be able to do it, it showed how powerful he was.
