Outside of the Ling-Bao Hall, Shi Lei sprinted along with Wu Hen and Liu Shuang'er. They ran several hundred kilometers until they reached the most bustling central region of Tranquil East City, where the business of the three great clans intertwined. Only then did they barely relax.
”Ahem. Senior Martial Brother, why are you so flustered when you just left the Ling-Bao Hall?” Wu Hen looked at Shi Lei who was breathing heavily and laughed secretly.
”Brother Liu, you don't know!” Shi Lei swallowed his saliva and explained patiently to Wu Hen, ”Shangguan Yunton is the manager of my Tranquil East City's Spirit Treasure Store. This person's cultivation is unfathomable. Even our Tranquil East City might not be able to defeat him. Furthermore, this person is extremely temperamental. Who knows if he might have changed his mind on the spur of the moment! ”
”Didn't you see that grandson of Yu Dingyi run away with his butt between his legs! Even his fiancee, Xu Yining, was left in the Spirit Treasure Merchant Shop without a care for anything else! ”
”Haha, Brother Shi is right!” When Wu Hen thought of Yu Ding Yi's submissive appearance, he immediately felt a lot more satisfied.
”Oh, yes. Brother Liu, the City Governor's daughter that you beat up, Xu Yining, is the only daughter of the City Governor. It's said that the City Lord is extremely fond of this precious gem. I'm afraid that today's matter will bring you some unnecessary trouble! ” Shi Lei thought for a while and reminded Wu Hen in good faith.
Hehe, thank you Brother Shi for your advice! Today's matter was all thanks to Senior Brother for acting so righteously. This friendship, Wu Hen recorded it down. Say no more, if Brother Shi needs anything, please do not hesitate to tell me! ” Wu Hen smiled faintly and cupped his hands at Shi Lei solemnly.
”Haha, good, good. With Brother Liu's words, I, Shi Lei am worth it today!” Shi Lei laughed heartily, then lowered his voice and said in a vigilant tone: ”I'll be fine in the future, I won't be inviting Brother Liu today. Brother Liu, you should go back to the Liu Family as soon as possible.
”Haha, then let's part ways here today! ”Thank you Brother Shi!” Wu Hen clasped his hands again and bid farewell to Shi Lei in front of him.
Along the way, Liu Shuang'er did not dare to say much. It was obvious that she was somewhat frightened by the previous scene. Wu Hen had no choice but to comfort her all the way until they entered the Liu Family Mansion. Only then did Liu Shuang'er return to her innocent and innocent look.
”Shuang'er, there's less than half a month until the Large Competition of the three great clans.” In this period of time, I need to cultivate with all my strength. Do not come to my house during this time unless there is something of particular importance. Then there's Mother, who will be rid of you and be taken care of by you! ”
”Brother Wu Hen, don't worry. Shuang'er will definitely complete this mission!” Shuang'er patted her chest full of energy. The beautiful snow-white scenery dazzled Wu Hen for a moment.
”Cough cough, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first!” Wu Hen's handsome face turned red and he hurriedly lifted his head to pinch his nose. His entire body transformed into a gust of wind and in the blink of an eye, he fled into his own courtyard.
”Heh heh, kid, so you're still a fledgling!” The Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao laughed loudly, as if he was relieved of his anger and started teasing Wu Hen.
Wu Hen ignored the Demon Sovereign's teasing and quickly dashed into his room. Holding his breath, Wu Hen sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate. Wu Hen circulated the Eternal Heaven Divine Art in his body with all his might and started to absorb the mystical Qi from the heaven and earth crazily.
”Heh heh, looks like the matter today has really stirred up this kid.” ”That's good too. This person has no motivation without pressure.” The illusory image of the Demon Sovereign 'Fire Firmament appeared. He stared at the solemn Wu Hen on the bed and smiled faintly.
As night fell, the sound of horses and carriages could be heard in front of the Liu Estate's quiet gates. Soon after, two squads of soldiers wearing military uniforms surrounded the Liu Estate on both sides.
”Clang!” Without saying anything, the leader of the group did not hold back and smashed open the Liu Estate's front gate with one kick. Immediately after, squadrons of soldiers filed in and occupied the Liu Estate.
”Aiyaya, isn't this Assistant General Xu? ”Why are you so angry today? Why didn't you inform me when you came to the Liu residence?” As soon as his voice fell, the Liu Family's Patriarch, Liu Zongyi, Liu Zongzhi, Liu Wuzhi, Liu Wuzhi, Liu Wujing, and other Liu Family disciples all appeared in the Liu Family Mansion.
”Hehe, Patriarch Liu, I, a deputy general, would naturally not stay in your Liu Family for no reason! But this time, it's not me who is leading the team here. If you have something to say, then go ahead and say it to our master! ” Vice General Xu sneered and rolled his eyes at the Liu Family warriors.
”Master? Could it be that the City Lord is here? ” The eyeballs in Liu Zongyi's eyes kept moving and he quickly ran out of the yard of the Liu family's mansion. Seeing this, Liu Zongli and Liu Zongzhi also quickly followed.
