I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

The battle in Huangsha City today, though earth-shattering, did not actually have much impact on the city's residents. After all, to them, it was just a slight change in the people in control of the upper echelons, not a particularly earth-shattering event.

As long as they don't have to pay extra money later, everything is fine.

However, the Red Sand Gang's move to take control of Yellow Sand City caused quite a stir.

After all, the Red Sand Gang used to be the weakest of the three major gangs, but now it has become the actual gang managing the city. This is quite a leap.

Of course, the Red Sand Gang is not a simple force either.

Even the weakest of the three major gangs is not someone you can contend with.

I can easily suppress you all.

Chi Yunpeng instructed his men to spread the news that the Chisha Gang had taken over Huangsha City, while he himself stood guard at the entrance of the Peace Inn.

This is a task assigned by Lu Xuan, and we absolutely cannot be careless in the slightest.

If anything goes wrong, the bright future that Chi Yunpeng has worked so hard to achieve will vanish in an instant.

Therefore, this matter must be handled personally.

Chi Ling Sha also stood guard around with a serious expression, preventing any unexpected situations from occurring.

Although most of the members of the other two major gangs were killed, some skilled individuals managed to escape, so it is essential to take precautions against them.

"Damn it, Lu Xuan is really vigilant. He even arranged for experts to be on guard."

"It's that little girl, and her father..."

In a corner not far away, two pairs of eyes were staring intently at the Peace Inn.

They were two generals from the Kingdom of Yeliang.

These two never expected that the matter, once entrusted to them, would be botched like this. Of course, it was all Lu Xuan's fault. If Lu Xuan hadn't interfered and disrupted the situation, they wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

He originally intended to capture a few people who were acquainted with Lu Xuan to use as leverage against him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan had arranged for such a skilled guard to protect him.

Such meticulousness left the two of them helpless.

These people are only visible on the surface.

However, it's unclear how many other experts are lurking in the shadows.

After exchanging glances, the two decided to temporarily evacuate the area.

"Let's retreat first; it looks like there's no chance left."

"Just who is Lu Xuan? Is the Prince of Xiping trying to trick us?"

As the two were discussing it, they suddenly wondered if the Prince of Xiping was behind it all.

Otherwise, why would they keep running into obstacles?

If you think about it that way, then it seems to make sense!

"Let's go back first and report on the recent situation."

"Admiral Hornet said."

The situation here is far too complicated. It's possible that the Xuanwu Dynasty wanted to use the power of the Prince of Xiping to wipe out the influence of their Yeliang Kingdom. Perhaps they were just pretending to be like this. There are just too many intricacies involved, and it seems very difficult for the two of them to grasp the situation on their own.

"Walk!"

Admiral Black Hawk surprisingly agreed with this.

The two hit it off immediately and quickly headed back.

Their cooperation with the Prince of Xiping did not seem to be that solid.

Although we do take precautions on a daily basis, it's far from reaching that level.

After the two left, Chi Yunpeng glanced in their direction.

Chi Yunpeng had long anticipated the covetous looks in the eyes of those two people.

They didn't even bother to make a move.

Based on their strength alone, these two are not a threat, nor do they care to make Chi Yunpeng take them seriously.

He'd rather observe from the shadows than cause trouble; if anyone tried to come forward and cause trouble, he'd have to kill them.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to retreat, Chi Yunpeng will not cause any more trouble.

the other side.

Led by Xia Yan, Lu Xuan arrived at the residence of the city lord of Huangsha City.

The seventh underground level.

The sixth underground level is the private area of ​​the Lord of Huangsha City, and many restrictions have been set up here.

When Lu Xuan arrived, he saw many white bones lying along the road.

The deaths of these people were all extremely tragic.

It looked as if it had been worn away and melted by the force of the wind and sand.

"All of these people died because of that old bald man's cultivation techniques."

"His salon-like esoteric practice involves using sand to polish the living flesh and bones of these people in order to sense their state."

"Everyone is shaped by the power of the sand while they are alive, and that's how they end up in this state."

"Everyone experiences countless pains before they die."

Xia Yan looked at the corpses and spoke slowly.

Even because of that city lord, he needed to observe the shape and effect of the bones at all times.

So these remains are still here, and no one has taken them down for burial.

In his pursuit of cultivation techniques, the Lord of Huangsha City has killed countless people through this method.

"His crimes are heinous and he deserves to die!"

Lu Xuan shook his head, indicating that he was quite angry.

After all, such behavior is simply too much.

In order to cultivate, they actually disregard human life here.

"It is thanks to Senior Lu's intervention that this person was able to be killed, restoring peace to the world."

Xia Yan looked at Lu Xuan and said.

His eyes were filled with admiration for Lu Xuan.

A senior like Lu Xuan can be described as possessing abundant martial virtue.

At least among the people Xia Yan knew, Lu Xuan was the most trustworthy.

After handing over the Grade 8 spiritual medicine to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan did not run away immediately.

And she actually completed the task and handed the body over to her to dispose of.

Even when facing the city lord of Huangsha City.

Lu Xuan did not reveal her employment.

This deeply moved Xia Yan.

Moreover, Lu Xuan had no interest in the position of city lord of Huangsha City.

Over the years, countless people have racked their brains, all hoping to become the city lord of this Yellow Sand City, or at least one of the city lord's right-hand men, and have paid a heavy price for it.

The position of city lord was clearly within Lu Xuan's grasp, yet he chose to give it up.

Of course, Xia Yan eventually learned that Lu Xuan had accepted the position.

But this also proves that Lu Xuan is a very vibrant person, because as the city lord of Huangsha City, he will receive a tremendous amount of resources.

Lu Xuan wasn't being hypocritical either.

They accepted these resources without hesitation.

Therefore, in Xia Yan's view, Lu Xuan is a very genuine person.

More genuine and unpretentious than anyone she had ever met before.

Is it in here?

Lu Xuan's voice came through.

Xia Yan's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Lu Xuan's words. She realized that she had been lost in thought without realizing it.

Until they arrived at the secret chamber where the Yellow Sand City Lord cultivated.

Xia Yan suddenly realized that she had gone so far.

Xia Yan's cheeks flushed red when she thought about how she had just been thinking about such random things.

"Yes... However, I'm not too clear about the restrictions inside, and I'm not very confident. Elder Lu, you should still be careful."

Xia Yan said softly.

On the way here, Xia Yan led Lu Xuan to avoid all the restrictions along the way.

We arrived here quite easily.

Xia Yan had no idea what was going on inside the secluded training room.

"It's nothing, just some restrictions."

Lu Xuan also sensed that there were some restrictions created by spiritual energy here.

The so-called restriction is somewhat like a trap formed by spiritual energy.

Once triggered, it will unleash its power.

But these restrictions meant nothing to Lu Xuan.

He raised the Crimson Flame Bone-Splitting Whip in his hand and swung it fiercely forward.

boom!

Just as Lu Xuan lashed out with his whip...

A violent explosion erupted inside the cave ahead.

Rumble!

As the aftershocks of the explosion swept towards him.

Lu Xuan also activated his own Yuan Gang power to protect Xia Yan in front of him in time, thus preventing Xia Yan from being injured by the shockwave of the explosion.

After the restriction shattered, Lu Xuan immediately raised his hand and waved it to dispel all the energy within.

Seeing Lu Xuan's strength, Xia Yan realized how ridiculous and comical it had been when she carefully led Lu Xuan in from outside.

It seems there's absolutely no need for that.

These restrictions cannot harm Lu Xuan at all.

Afterwards, Xia Yan led Lu Xuan into the cave.

Finally, in a tightly sealed rock chamber, they found a place that was decorated in a very warm and cozy way, resembling a funeral hall.

Inside the mourning hall was a black coffin.

The Netherworld Stone Coffin.

The coffin was made of a deep, black stone, as dark as ink.

The power of this ghostly stone coffin has a sinister and eerie feel to it.

Even when Lu Xuan got close, he could feel his life force being constantly drained by the Netherworld Stone Coffin.

Of course, it only absorbed and pulled, and did not actually suck away Lu Xuan's life force.

After all, Lu Xuan is now a powerhouse close to the fifth rank.

The Netherworld stone coffin before him posed no threat to him.

But for a coffin that doesn't move, it's already quite an impressive thing.

"Great! With this, Old Lin is saved."

Although Lu Xuan is currently unable to refine a pill that can reshape meridians, he can maintain Old Lin's condition and at least allow him to live until that time.

It will take Lu Xuan at most one or two years to refine the pill.

Lu Xuan was confident in this.

"But why is this coffin arranged like this?"

Lu Xuan was somewhat curious as to why the other party had arranged the coffin in this way, as if it were a memorial service for something.

When Lu Xuan poked his head inside to take a look...

But to their astonishment, they discovered that there was a dressed corpse inside the coffin.

"Hmm? Whose bone is this?"

Lu Xuan saw the corpse and couldn't help but ask.

"It belongs to my mother."

Xia Yan said softly.

He then stepped forward, opened the coffin lid, and carried out the remains.

"My mother was the first person he sacrificed when he cultivated the Dragon Cave Mystic Body Technique."

Xia Yan looked at the corpse, and tears streamed down her face.

At first, she was somewhat restrained and controlled when she cried.

However, the further it goes, the more uncontrollable it becomes.

Then came a burst of wailing and crying.

Lu Xuan didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply gave up.

After all, no amount of comforting can help with this kind of crying.

After Xia Yan finished crying, she actually fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Xuan sighed helplessly.

He took off his robe and covered Xia Yan with it.

Instead of moving the coffin first, they searched the city lord's secret chamber.

"Um?"

"These are... Spirit Blast Stones?"

"There are so many?"

When Lu Xuan arrived at a warehouse.

The warehouse was found to be filled with boxes, all of which contained spirit explosion stones.

Lu Xuan had witnessed the effects of this spirit explosion stone several times before.

Because I used to think that the effect of this spirit explosive stone was related to explosives.

"Hmm? If I combine these spirit explosion stones with my array, I can refine them into a one-time explosive spirit weapon."

"The effect should be good!"

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.

These items can be used not only for self-defense but also for sale.

Where can you make money faster in the pharmaceutical business than in the arms business?

This guy has hoarded such a huge pile of Spirit Explosion Stones; anyone who didn't know better would think he was going to attack the Xuanwu Dynasty or the Yeliang Kingdom.

Practicing martial arts is one thing.

But even if you know martial arts, you won't be able to support your future family.

I can now refine some pills to keep myself going.

When I have many children and grandchildren in the future, they will all be crying for food.

Even Lu Xuan had to find another way so that they could all enjoy cultivation resources.

If some geniuses emerge among the descendants, the resources consumed will be enormous.

We need to do business at a higher price.

Lu Xuan's powerful cultivation level also served as a strong backing for these businesses.

"It seems that the resources of this Yellow Sand City are still very important, and spirit explosion stones are one of the most important ones!"

"We'll see if we can cooperate with Chi Yunpeng and the others later."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

With a thought, he stored all the spirit explosion stones in front of him into his storage ring.

They then went and opened up some other treasure troves.

They discovered that these warehouses contained some rather precious spirit ores.

"Gold ore? That's a good material for making defensive armor."

"These alone are worth at least 100,000 spirit stones..."

"This Lord of Huangsha City is really making a fortune in silence."

"It's a pity, though. Having so much money, he couldn't bear to leave this Yellow Sand City, and in the end, he was essentially trapped by it."

"Of course... if this guy breaks through to the fifth rank, then the situation will be different."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

When we arrived at the last secret room.

Lu Xuan also discovered a huge stone tablet.

When Lu Xuan browsed the contents of the stone tablet, his expression changed slightly.

"Well, this is the incomplete stone tablet with the cultivation technique."

"Haotu Dragon Sand Armor?"

"A defensive martial art of the Heavenly Rank..."

"etc……"

Lu Xuan looked at the contents of the stone tablet from top to bottom.

Then, recalling the bald man's method of cultivating internal energy, his expression suddenly became quite interesting.

"No wonder that idiot couldn't break through to the fifth rank."

"That idiot has been cultivating incorrectly all along!"
