Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After Lu Chen, Xiao Xueying, and Cao Shiyun returned to their room, Lu Chen immediately said to the two women, "Let's head to Tianlang City tomorrow."

When they heard Lu Chen say he was going to Tianlang City, the two women were slightly taken aback. They had overheard Lu Chen's conversation with the caravan guards and thought that after hearing those words, Lu Chen would either choose to go back or stay in Jianning City to see how things went.

Xiao Xueying said with a puzzled look, "Junior Brother Chen, the situation in Tianlang City is unclear right now. If we go to Tianlang City now, it may be dangerous."

Cao Shiyun chimed in, "What those caravan guards said makes sense. The fact that the powerful families of Tianlang City aren't expanding their businesses southwards proves that they may have already been considering betraying Xuan Yue Palace."

"Perhaps Sirius City has already been taken over by the Crimson Flame Sect."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "My master left me three jade slips to protect my life. If I really encounter any trouble, I will just use the jade slips."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the two women were stunned for a moment. They thought to themselves, Lu Chen is, after all, their Palace Master's personal disciple. How could their Palace Master not have given Lu Chen something to protect his life?

Since there's something that can save your life, it's definitely worth going to investigate.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xueying said, "Alright then, we'll head to Sirius City tomorrow."

……

Sirius City, City Lord's Mansion.

Ding Qingfeng sat on the wooden chair, slammed his hand on the armrest, and said coldly, "The Liu family and the Wang family, how dare they leave Tianlang City without permission!!!"

At this moment, Ding Qingfeng's face was gloomy, and he was filled with anger.

A few days ago, the Liu and Wang families secretly led their families to the territory of the Crimson Flame Sect without his knowledge, the city lord's knowledge.

He knew perfectly well what those two families were thinking. They were afraid that the special envoy would find out about their close ties with the Crimson Flame Sect and use them as an example to deter others, so they defected in advance and went to the Crimson Flame Sect for protection.

They may have escaped, but those who remained in Sirius City are in for a world of trouble.

If it were just a small, ordinary family leaving Tianlang City for the territory of the Crimson Flame Sect, that wouldn't be a big deal.

However, both the Liu and Wang families were supported by the Xuan Yue Palace, and they have certain relationships with the Xuan Yue Palace. Both families have members who are disciples of the Xuan Yue Palace.

Originally, Xuan Yue Palace had no evidence to prove that Tianlang City had betrayed them. But when this special envoy arrived and saw that two families had already fled to Chi Yan Sect, it was obvious that Tianlang City was preparing to betray Xuan Yue Palace.

Furthermore, the special envoy could use the defection of these two families as an excuse to carry out a major purge of the entire Sirius City. At that time, the city lord of Sirius City would naturally not escape the fate of being purged.

Thinking of this, Ding Qingfeng became even angrier, grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground, yelling, "You bastard!"

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly came, "Who has offended Lord Ding and made him so angry?"

Upon hearing this voice, Ding Qingfeng was taken aback. He was a mortal immortal, and the fact that the other party could enter the city lord's mansion silently proved that the other party was also an immortal, and that their strength was even above his own.

Ding Qingfeng immediately asked warily, "Who is it?"

As soon as Ding Qingfeng finished speaking, a figure appeared out of thin air in the room.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ding Qingfeng's expression changed drastically. He immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Greetings, Immortal!"

Ding Qingfeng had never met Sikong Youpeng before, but he could tell from his clothes that the man came from the Crimson Flame Sect. Although he didn't know Sikong Youpeng's status in the Crimson Flame Sect, he knew from the aura emanating from Sikong Youpeng that he was no ordinary person.

Ding Qingfeng couldn't understand why the Crimson Flame Sect would send people to Sirius City at this time. Could it be that the Crimson Flame Sect was already planning to take over Sirius City?

Ding Qingfeng asked cautiously, "May I ask what brings you to Tianlang City, Immortal? I will certainly cooperate with you."

Sikong Youpeng said casually, "It's nothing serious, I just came to find someone."

Upon hearing Sikong Youpeng's answer, Ding Qingfeng was taken aback. Looking for someone? Looking for whom?

Ding Qingfeng continued, "May I ask who you are looking for, sir?"

Sikong Youpeng replied, "A special envoy from the Xuan Yue Palace."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qingfeng was immediately alarmed. People from the Crimson Flame Sect had come to Tianlang City to look for the special envoy of the Profound Moon Palace?

Could it be that the Crimson Flame Sect found out that the special envoy was the personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master, so they came to cause trouble for that person?

If something were to happen to that special envoy, and it were to trigger a war between the two great immortal sects, he, a mere city lord, would likely be dragged out to take the blame.

Thinking of this, Ding Qingfeng cautiously probed further, "May I ask what business the immortal has with that person?"

Sikong Youpeng said expressionlessly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just find him."

Sikong Youpeng felt that since the disciples of the Xuan Yue Palace Master had come to Tianlang City to investigate, they would not return easily, and they would not show themselves easily. They would likely investigate in secret, and that person would only come out after finding evidence of the betrayal of the Xuan Yue Palace by the major families.

So the most important thing now is to find that person. Although he is a Golden Immortal and his divine sense can cover a very far place, if an immortal hides his aura and disguises himself as a mortal, he may not be able to sense that person's existence.

Moreover, the other party is a personal disciple of the Xuan Yue Palace Master, so he must possess a high-level immortal technique that conceals his aura.

Now, the only option is to mobilize the power of Tianlang City to help him search. Since the other party is here to investigate whether Tianlang City has betrayed Xuan Yue Palace, they will definitely make secret contact with City Lord Ding Qingfeng and several major families. As long as he investigates, clues will be revealed.

Sensing the oppressive aura emanating from Sikong Youpeng, Ding Qingfeng had no choice but to say, "Yes, Immortal, I will immediately send someone to find that person."

At this point, Ding Qingfeng suddenly remembered something and continued, "However, Immortal, it seems that the great one has not yet arrived in Tianlang City."

Sikong Youpeng said, "They arrived a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qingfeng was taken aback. Had they already arrived?

So, does that mean the special envoy was already secretly investigating Sirius City?

Oh no, this is really bad. They didn't reveal their identities and came in undercover. This clearly means they already know about the Tianlang City incident and are gathering evidence.

I'm afraid that once we've gathered enough evidence, the special envoy will show up and deal with him, the city lord, and the major families.

Seeing Ding Qingfeng sweating profusely with fear, Sikong Youpeng said calmly, "You don't think that the Xuan Yue Palace knows nothing about what happened in Tianlang City, do you? The Xuan Yue Palace Master sent his personal disciple here to eliminate traitors like you."

"Since it's a training exercise, it's impossible to just let him stay in Tianlang City for a while and then go back."

Upon hearing Sikong Youpeng's words, Ding Qingfeng realized, "That's right, the other party is here for training. Since it's for training, there must be some twists and turns."

If that special envoy comes to Sirius City, only to stay for a short time and then leave, what kind of training is that?

So, does this mean that their Sky Wolf City was used as a whetstone for the Xuan Yue Palace's master? (End of Chapter)
