Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Bang bang! Clang!!!

"City… City Lord… I was wrong… Don't… Don't kill me…"

Hu Yanlie's lamb bone was dripping with blood.

The servant at the door was unrecognizable, held in the burly man's hand.

Hu Yanlie leaned down, his face twisted in a ferocious question.

"What do you think you are, making decisions for me?"

"If you're going to be a dog, act like one!!"

Bang!!!!

The blood-stained bone slammed down!!

Thud…

Hu Yanlie clapped his hands, casually wiped himself off, and used his sleeve to wipe the blood from his face.

"Throw him to the arena to feed the beasts."

The people nearby quickly made arrangements, and the bloodstains were cleaned up in the blink of an eye.

A gaunt, white-browed old man whispered.

"City Lord, that man seems to be a foreign cultivator who recently came to Dixiu Bay."

"It is said that he saved Xiahou Cang's wife and child from a rampaging great demon on the street, and was rewarded for it."

Hu Yanlie picked up a handkerchief and wiped the grease from his mouth.

A pair of tiger eyes revealed a peculiar glint.

"Why did Xiahou Cang suddenly change his mind?"

"Abandoning us to go to the Eastern City…"

The old man pondered for a moment before stepping forward.

"Could it be that the Southwest families are too powerful, and Xiahou Cang is anxious, wanting to unite with us or the Eastern City?"

The man nodded slightly.

"Very likely, but the Eastern City won't act without seeing results."

"Could it be… Xiahou Cang really has news about the Frost Soul Jade Glaze?"

Hu Yanlie suddenly stood up and paced back and forth.

"No! You go to the Eastern City to find out! Go now!!"

The old man nodded and bowed as he left.

Hu Yanlie was left alone in the room.

He was not as incompetent as the outside world perceived.

On the contrary, Hu Yanlie was also very clever, otherwise, it would have been impossible to get along with the other five cities peacefully until now.

But… the temptation of the Frost Soul Jade Glaze was too great.

If any one of their five city lords obtained it, their strength would be qualitatively improved.

At that time, the six-city structure would no longer exist!

The six cities had different specialties, but they coveted each other's territories.

Li Guanqi's sudden change of strategy made everyone feel a little strange.

But he himself was carefree, constantly nodding after arriving in the Eastern City's territory.

"Much cleaner than that North Gate City."

The woman beside him just smiled and nodded, never saying too much.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the Eastern City Lord's mansion.

The gate of the mansion opened, and standing inside was an old steward with a slightly hunched back.

The woman led Li Guanqi to the door and then bowed slightly and left.

The old man inside the door quickly walked down to greet him, bowing and smiling.

"This old one's surname is Zhang, the City Lord is already waiting for the young master in the mansion, please come in."

Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, look at this attitude.

The old man always stayed a step behind Li Guanqi, never speaking, always lowering his eyes and bending his back.

Passing through pavilions and towers, small bridges and flowing water, the old man actually led Li Guanqi directly to the City Lord's courtyard.

Li Guanqi heard the chirping of birds and the gurgling of flowing water, passing through the corridor bridge and rockery, suddenly opening up.

"This Chu Yuan really knows how to enjoy life."

The old man stopped in front of the hall, bent over and whispered.

"Young master, just go in, this old one can only take you here."

Li Guanqi cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Elder Zhang, for showing me the way."

He casually took a second-grade immortal herb and quietly handed it to the old man.

A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, but he appeared somewhat panicked and repeatedly refused.

Li Guanqi smiled.

"Just a few immortal herbs, consider it Elder Zhang's hard-earned money for helping to lead the way."

The old man heard a voice transmission in his ear, and then smiled and accepted it with both hands.

"Then thank you, young master."

After speaking, the old man stepped forward to help open the door, then stepped aside and stood by the door waiting.

Li Guanqi smiled and stepped into the hall, and after a while, a handsome middle-aged man walked in from behind the screen.

With just one glance, Li Guanqi felt that the man in front of him was not simple.

A green cloud robe, containing subtle immortal essence fluctuations.

Wearing a jade hairpin, with fair skin, although middle-aged, he did not have the slightest hint of debauchery.

The man gave Li Guanqi the feeling of a white-faced scholar who had reached middle age.

Chu Yuan's facial features were distinct, and his appearance was very similar to Xiahou Cang's, but the temperament between the two was very different!!

There was not much information about the Lord of the Eastern City, Chu Yuan, but he was the one Li Guanqi paid the most attention to!

The six cities of Dixiu Bay, all city lords, Xiahou Cang knew very little about the man in front of him, and even the information was only a few short lines.

But the more this was the case, the more curious Li Guanqi was about what kind of person Chu Yuan was!

The man exuded a faint pressure, and this pressure felt even heavier than Xiahou Cang in Li Guanqi's perception!!

Chu Yuan was also sizing up Li Guanqi, and with just one glance, the man muttered to himself in his heart.

"This son is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Coming closer, the man sat down and gestured slightly.

"Friend, sit."

Li Guanqi smiled and bowed, not sitting down directly, but instead leaning forward and saying.

"Junior Li Congxin, greets City Lord Chu."

Chu Yuan smiled, raised his hand and released a gentle spatial force to lift Li Guanqi up.

"Friend Li, you don't need to be so polite, sit down."

After Li Guanqi sat down, Chu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony or beat around the bush, and directly asked.

"Friend, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Li Guanqi sat upright, his face calm, and said.

"Representing Xia Lin City to cooperate with the Eastern City."

Chu Yuan was immediately interested when he heard this, but on the surface, he still looked calm and breezy.

"Oh? Cooperate? What cooperation?"

Li Guanqi didn't expect the other party to not take the bait. Now that the Southwest two cities are united, they want to take the initiative in the Frost Soul Jade Glaze matter.

Chu Yuan wasn't flustered?

Why was he so calm?

In an instant, Li Guanqi's mind raced, flashing through countless thoughts.

Li Guanqi looked at the man who was stroking the teacup with his finger but didn't move it, suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the screen and slowly spoke.

"It seems… I'm still one step late, City Lord Chu should have already made the decision to cooperate with Winter's Edge City…"

Bang!!!

The teacup in the man's hand shattered, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Li Guanqi who had already stood up!!

He was sure that no one would leak this news!!

Because at this time, the City Lord of Winter's Edge City, Chen Ce, was in the backyard.

Li Guanqi's eyes were calm, but his heart stirred.

No wonder the old steward at the door would use both hands to accept the immortal herb.

Chu Yuan loved tea, this was the shortest sentence in the information.

But from the moment the man came in and sat down, he had been playing with the teacup, neither picking it up to drink nor putting it down.

Li Guanqi guessed that the other party had most likely just finished drinking, and the tea fragrance in his mouth hadn't dissipated!!

Behind the screen… was Chu Yuan's study and residence.

The moment he came out from behind the screen, Chu Yuan's eyes were a little dazed, obviously in a state of thinking and weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
