Chapter 109: Departing from Fire City

  Su Zhen had just left when Xiang Wentian and Xu Lüying approached An Zun.

  Taiyan Jiucheng is firmly controlled by the five major families, not to mention that the five major families themselves have cultivators who have broken through the fifth stage of rebirth. Moreover, they are also connected with the Zhushan Sect. The Zhushan Sect, like the Bai Du Men, is an evil sect with similar strength to the Wanxiang Sect. If they send out a powerful expert, how can Su Shidi cope? Item Yantian asked worriedly.

  "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll hide behind the earth. I believe our teacher can handle it, and even if he can't, escaping with our lives is still no big deal."

  An Zun was very confident and didn't worry about Su Zhen. He turned to Xu Lianyue and said, "A ferocious water python has appeared in the upper reaches of the Min River. Xiao Han, Luo Feng, and others have sent a message saying they can't subdue it. You go help them out. Don't let that beast enter my Water Palace's territory." Then he ordered Xiang Fan Tian, "I'm not worried about the people from Tai Yan Jiu Cheng, but I estimate that Han Yunfeng and Fu Lingtian won't give up easily. Find someone to keep a close eye on them. If they dare to chase in the direction of Tai Yan Jiu Cheng, kill them without hesitation."

  "I understand."

  "Also notify Yang Xing Shi to guard the pass for me, and order Yi Sheng Xue to quickly find out the whereabouts of 'Hunyuan Qingmu'! Half-step Spirit Spring... The remaining half-step, I don't want to wait any longer!"

  ……

  ……

  Inside the Grand Hall on the summit of Moyun Peak.

  "What! Su Zhen left the sect and flew to the border of Yan Yun Province?" Han Yunfeng "dang" sound drew out a spiritual flying sword, excitedly stood up, and was about to chase after.

  "Brother Han, don't be impulsive."

  Fu Lingtian hastily stopped him and asked the messenger: "Do you know why Su Zhen went to the border of Yanyun Province?"

  "I don't know."

  He paused for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something and added: "However, Suzhen left the sect before, went to the depths of Luoxia Mountain Range, stayed for about a day, and returned. Then he headed to the border of Yanyun Province the next day."

  Deep in the Lushan Mountains?

  Fu Lingtian's mind stirred slightly, as if he had thought of something. He hastily gave a few orders and instructed his subordinates to investigate. After about half a day, his subordinates brought back two documents. After reading them, Fu Lingtian's mouth twitched, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

  "It's a good thing I didn't act rashly, or else something big would have happened." Fu Ling Tian let out a long sigh of relief, his heart still racing.

  "What's going on?"

  "You take a look yourself." Fu Lingtian handed over the materials.

  Han Yunfeng took a few glances and his face turned gloomy: "Damn, Su Zhen actually joined the Holy King Party and became a commander? This trip to Taiyan Ninth City was also ordered by An Zun. Did An Zun also send Xiang Wantian to monitor our every move? Would Xiang Wantian have killed me if I had gone after Su Zhen just now?" Han Yunfeng's words were rhetorical, but he already had a clear answer in his heart. Someone who could become the third-in-command of the Shanhe Party couldn't be soft-hearted, and he had personally experienced it a month ago. If he dared to pursue and kill, Xiang Wantian would have really eliminated him on the spot.

  "An Zhun, An Zhun, An Zhun..."

  Han Yunfeng gritted his teeth and clenched the documents in his hands into two fists: "You repeatedly interfere with my affairs, it's really detestable. Once I gain power, I'll kill you too!"

  ……

  ……

  Su Zhen fled all the way, eating wind and drinking dew, and arrived at Taiyan Ninth City in twenty days.

  Tai Yan Jiu Cheng relied on the fire mine to become rich, after hundreds of years of development, it was prosperous and far surpassed the small city of Qing Feng Cheng. Nine giant cities were lined up in a row, with walls built as high as 50 zhang, stretching endlessly like nine earth dragons crawling on the ground. The location of the nine cities covered a vast area of mountains and forests, at first glance, it looked like a giant monster rising and falling between the mountain ranges.

  Each one is magnificent and grand!

  There are shops, restaurants, inns and pharmacies in the city, with tens of millions of ordinary people living and working here.

  "Depart from Fire City."

  Su Zhen landed in Lihuo City, the most prosperous of the nine cities. Lihuo City is located at the center of the nine cities and serves as a hub connecting other cities. The five major families have either their headquarters or branches here. Other merchant houses are too numerous to count. Even merchants from Yanyun Province who come to Longyuan Province for trade, choose Lihuo City as their first destination.

  Su Zhen wants to conquer Taiyanjiu City, and it's impossible without taking down Lihuocheng first.

  "Hey there, young master! First time in Lihuo City? Are you looking to buy something or trade? I'm Xiaoniu Er, a small-time consultant in Lihuo City, specializing in errands and introductions. If you want to quickly get familiar with the city, you can hire me for just one copper coin per day." Su Zhen walked into the city, mistaken for an ordinary person, when a sly-looking guy immediately approached him to peddle his services.

  Places like Lifu City have many local thugs who don't like to work hard, so they do the consulting business. They lead outsiders around and earn some guiding fees. If outsiders want to buy something, they take them to familiar merchants and eat a little running leg money. It's a very common profession.

  "How do I get to the headquarters of the Wanxiang Sect in Lihuo City?" Su Zhen tossed him a silver ingot.

  One tael of copper coins is equal to one thousand copper coins, which is also equivalent to one mace of silver.

  This piece of silver is the spoils of war from the alliance's campaign against the Three Parties, otherwise, with Su Zhen's worth, it would be easy for him to take out 100,000 taels of gold, but not a single silver coin can be found. When Su Zhen first arrived at Lihuo City, he was still unfamiliar with this place, and having a local explain it to him is just right, allowing him to gain a more authentic understanding of Lihuo City. As for being blacklisted? If an ordinary person could get the better of him, then Su Zhen's existence would be a waste of food.

  "Master, this way, please!" Niu Er took the silver and led the way forward.

  Su Zhen followed.

  On the road, Su Zhen casually asked: "I heard that Lihuo City is a treasure land for business, as long as you are brave, you can make money. You have a lot of information, do you have any way to get rich? I want to mix and go, what else should I pay attention to?"

  "Taiyan Nine Cities borders with Yanyun Province, so the only way to make money is by smuggling! As long as you pay your respects to the five major families and hand over some protection fees each year, you can earn a lot of money safely. That's what all the merchants in our city do." Niu Er spoke without thinking.

  "Isn't that against the rules of Wanxiang?"

  "What's the use of going against it? The heavens are high and the emperor is far away. In theory, Longyuan Province still belongs to the Great Gan Dynasty, but in reality, isn't it actually controlled by the Wanxiang Sect? Similarly, Taiyan Nine Cities are located on the border, and the Wanxiang Sect's whip can't reach there, so the ones who really have the final say are the Five Families. As long as those five big shots nod their heads, nothing can't be done in Taiyan Nine Cities! I'm telling you, young master, why don't you just forget about going to the Wanxiang Sect's office and go directly to the Qi Family, the leader of the Five Families? The Qi Family's headquarters is right in Lihuocheng."

  "No need, let's just go back to our original destination."

  "Really?"

  The headquarters of the Wanxiang Sect in Lihuo City was more desolate than Bi Su had imagined.

  It is an old courtyard located in the midst of a bustling city.

  From the mottled outline, it can still be seen that it was once brilliant. But under the passage of time, it has fallen into the mortal world and become an inconspicuous small role in a vast city. Even on the cracked door sign, spider webs are hanging. The courtyard gate is uneven and rotten, creaking out a harsh "creak" sound with just one push, as if it will shatter at any moment.

  "Ka-chunk---", "Ka-chunk---"

  Su Zhen pushed open the door and entered.

  The courtyard is even more dilapidated, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as a ruin with broken walls and a collapsed roof. The windows and doors are all broken, and inside there's a thick layer of dust, while outside the weeds are overgrown. Just from this you can see how much influence the Temple of Ten Thousand Images has in the nine cities of Taiyan.

  It's really too miserable to look at.
