Huo Jiujian was born in the Star Palace, and his description of the upper world should be credible.
Duan Bowen After hearing this, his expression became more solemn and he muttered in a low voice, "Then what should we do?"
"Then just fight," Huo Jiujian said in an understatement. "Without support from the upper world, are you just waiting to die?"
Most of Cultivator's bloody nature is engraved in his bones.
Even if Dongsheng people think that Central Province cultivators are not brave enough, in fact, the lords of a city are so responsible.
Huo Jiujian's heart is indeed not small. After finishing speaking, he stopped worrying about this topic and looked at Qu Jianlei.
"Ridge Lord Qu, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny!"
Qu Jianlei was perked up after hearing this, "Is there any definite news about Stone Jar?"
"Yes," City Lord Huo smiled, Diandian nodded, "The area currently locked is West Hill City, would you like to take a trip?"
Xiqiu is not close to Great Leaf City. This city is located in the west of Central Province. It has a large population and a decent economy.
"Um..." Qu Jianlei hesitated and asked, "For what reason?"
"The treasure was obtained through bidding by disciple Star Palace," Huo Jiujian replied without hesitation, "Is it unfair for me to search for lost property?"
Not only is he the Great Leaf City Lord, he also has the responsibility to safeguard the society Order.
As for West Hill City not being under the control of Great Leaf City, is it crossing the border? That's not a problem, City Lord Huo is still born from the Star Palace.
Listening to his tone, he wanted to go there himself. I had to admit that some immortal cultivators were really a bit of a charlatan when they were officials.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and spoke, "If the lost item can be found, does it not need to be returned to the original owner?"
"Heavenly Demon is wreaking havoc, and I, Great Leaf City, have commandeered him," Huo Jiujian replied without hesitation, "At worst, give him the auction money."
This kind of operation is a bit tough, but he can consider the cost to the person who stole it, so he is very particular about it.
Even Duan Bowen couldn't help but say, "Ridge Lord Qu has thought too carefully, but Stone Jar cannot be used by others."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei Diandian nodded, now is indeed not the time to be pretentious, "Without further ado, let's leave now!"
Also leaving with him were Huo Jiujian, Page Boy and Duan Bowen.
Duan Bowen said that he came to the manor because he wanted to go to Dongsheng. Since Ridge Lord Qu had something to do, he should pay for the travel expenses.
In fact, True Immortal Yongheng also wants to go, and he has a certain interest in that Stone Jar.
It's not that he wants to keep it for himself, he just wants to open his eyes... What kind of treasure can Ridge Lord Qu be interested in? However, Huo Jiujian felt that there was no need for him to join in the fun, "If Five Friends Alliance is exposed, will Five Friends Alliance still do business in Xiqiu in the future?"
"Then you have to get through Heavenly Demon first," True Immortal Yongheng muttered, but did not persist.
Early the next morning, the four people passed Teleportation Array and arrived at West Hill City.
Because the City Lord's Mansion token of Great Leaf City was used directly during the transmission, Xiqiu did not make things difficult and directly let it go.
Qu Jianlei They inquired and found out that Heavenly Demon the area under the jurisdiction of this city was quite violent.
However, West Hill City Lord's protection below is limited, and he is more concerned about the main city area.
The city lord is from a wealthy family in other places. This is also the management rules of Council of Elders. Rich families are not allowed to hold important positions in the local area.
This is to prevent evil situations from happening, where local wealthy families wantonly appropriate other people's property.
However, such operations often breed new disadvantages.
Like this city lord, he has only been in charge of Xiqiu for a short period of time, only more than thirty years.
However, he has the strong support of his family behind him, and the manpower and material resources are available. He has already purchased a large industry in the local area.
Most of these industries are in the main urban area, and there are only a few profitable industries below.
Faced with the frequent infiltration of Heavenly Demon, City Lord's Mansion made the decision to give priority to protecting the main urban area.
When outsiders are in charge of a party, they often only have immediate interests and no local feelings.
City Lord's Mansion requires the second and third tier cities below to solve defense problems on their own, and requires no orders and no retreat.
Whoever dares to abandon defense and escape without permission will be punished by the three tribes!
This harsh order almost led to a rebellion below.
City Lord's Mansion then emphasized: This is not a fight to the death, but a game of chess for the entire Xiqiu, and everyone must obey City Lord's Mansion's overall dispatch.
However, having said that, the main urban area has also allocated a lot of combat power from the second and third tier cities below to strengthen defense.
Some big local families were quite dissatisfied with the city lord's behavior, and many of them gathered all their fighting strength in their ancestral land.
However, there are also many people betting on the main city, so the current situation of the main city of Xiqiu is pretty good.
Some Xiqiu people were so angry that they reported the situation to Council of Elders and demanded severe punishment for the city lord.
But Council of Elders investigated and found: West Hill City's current appearance... does it feel like the protection is pretty good? As for the following request to change the city lord, it was directly ignored - are you kidding me, changing the general on the spot?
This is the current situation of West Hill City. Although Order is not bad, it is basically equivalent to a lonely city.
The second and third tier cities below are all fighting on their own.
Central Province Thirty-six, every city is different, this is the most true portrayal! Huo Jiujian heard the criticism, "The reputation of the city lord has been ruined by these things!"
Duan Bowen heard this, but couldn't help but retort, "Isn't that what Star Palace finally approved?"
"I will never end being angry about this kind of thing," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Stone Jar is currently within the range of Autumn Water City."
Qiushui is only a third-tier city. It is said that the current situation is not optimistic, and even Teleportation Array has stopped.
The suspension of teleportation was directly ordered by the City Lord's Mansion because he was worried that cultivators possessed by demons would also take the opportunity to teleport over.
There are more than one or two cities that have blocked teleportation like this. Anyway, everything City Lord's Mansion does is to ensure the stability of the main city.
However, many Xiqiu people know the real reason for this - because these cities are "disobedient"! The city lord wants to protect the main city, but the people below have their own ideas, and even think that the ancestral land is more important than the main city.
In this case, City Lord's Mansion simply shut down the transmission - don't you want to support yourself? Then just fend for yourself!
So Qu Jianlei and they want to go to Autumn Water City, so they can only use Flying Shuttle to fly there.
"Look at me," Duan Bowen whispered, then raised his voice slightly, "Flying Autumn Water City, it's too dangerous!"
"My suggestion is not to go. In fact, this West Hill City doesn't feel very safe. It's better to leave."
The next moment, someone came over, it was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
He whispered, "Going to Autumn Water City? I have a way... one hundred Medium Spirit Stone for one person!"
"You might as well go and grab it!" Duan Bowen said calmly, "One hundred spiritual stones... don't bargain, if you don't agree, get out!"
The four of them concealed their auras, but even so, the opposite Foundation Establishment Realm should also know that these four are definitely not ordinary people.
So this guy turned around and left without any hesitation.
But after a while, another Qi Refiner cultivator came over and whispered, "Go to Autumn Water City, one of the Five Hundred Spirits, do you want to go?"
Wubailing is more reasonable. Although it is still on the high side, considering that it is an extraordinary period, a partial premium is normal.
Duan Bowen replied calmly, "Three hundred... you must teleport!"
The other party agreed without hesitation, "One thousand two hundred souls... The distinguished guest must pay first. This does not include the transmission fee!"
Not to mention Qu Jianlei, even Huo Jiujian is a little confused: isn't the transmission blocked? However, Duan Bowen explained in a low voice that what was blocked was actually just the transmission between the main city of Xiqiu and Autumn Water City.
In other second- and third-tier cities, it is very likely that there is still contact with Autumn Water City, it is just a transit.
True Immortal Bowen has been around Gray Area all year round and knows these things very well.
He even said with disdain, "Xiqiu blocked the transmission of Autumn Water City, most likely for everyone to see..."
"If even the transit channel is blocked, then the job has been done badly. If the local wealthy family is angry, he may really die."
"Sure enough, it's a chaotic world," Qu Jianlei Diandian said, this is what the world is like.
The next teleportation went without incident. They first teleported to a second-tier city and then found a local contact person.
The contact person came forward as a guarantee and transmitted it directly from the second-tier city to Autumn Water City.
The intermediary fee was a bit worthless. The only convenience was that the identities of the four people were not verified during the two transmissions.
But those who don't have this access are likely to face some difficulties.
In fact, if the auras of the four Qu Jianlei were not unknown, there might have been new twists and turns.
However, there are no assumptions in reality. They arrived at Qiushui in the strange eyes of others.
Autumn Water City teleported here, but the guard was tighter. It was discovered that the four people's breath was unclear, and two Golden Core Realm came over.
The next moment, a Golden Core Realm's face changed and he directly issued a warning, "It's Nascent Soul True Immortal!"
Now Autumn Water City has become a thorn in West Hill City's side. Suddenly, Nascent Soul Realm is transmitted, making people have to guard against it.
Page Boy took out a token and waved it, and said calmly, "Great Leaf City is on business, there is no harm."
I have to admit that although Autumn Water City was targeted by West Hill City, the local prevention and control measures were quite effective.
This was all organized voluntarily by the local people, and the city lord of Autumn Water City has already run away.
Knowing that the four people were from Great Leaf City, one Nascent Soul Realm who rushed over was very enthusiastic and asked them how long they planned to stay.
Page Boy said that we only came here on orders, and you don't need to ask anything else.
However, they are four strangers, and they look very different. People at Autumn Water City dare not ignore them completely.
They sent a Golden Core Realm to follow him around, saying they would provide convenient services at any time, but the main thing was to take precautions.
In addition, they also tried to see if they could get any help through such contact.
It may be difficult to keep these four people, but it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the people at Great Leaf City.
The official assistance from West Hill City has basically been discontinued, so why not give Great Leaf City a try? Qu Jianlei The four of them walked around the city for a long time and inquired about the distribution of Heavenly Demon in the surrounding area.
That night, the four of them rested in the Mobile Palace, and Qu Jianlei raised his hand to make a fortune.
"Dan Copper Town...Dai Family?"
