Because the spiritual energy in the mortal world is sparse and there is no great formation to support it, practicing will be ineffective with half the effort.

Moreover, in the mortal world, one cannot accept sect missions, there are no rewards, no methods of cultivation, no competitors, nothing.

Going there is basically equivalent to cutting off the path to immortality.

As for the Faceless City, it is even more incredible.

Because the Faceless City is close to the lawless land—the place where the four sects meet.

The four major spheres of influence of the Huashen Sect, Shengxian Sect, Xinmo Sect and Purgatory Demon Sect intersect together, forming a lawless area known as the Lawless Land.

There are all kinds of people there, including casual cultivators, demon cultivators, monster cultivators, etc.

And the Faceless City is close to such a place.

In a place like this, let alone those in the Qi training stage, even those in the Golden Core stage may not be able to control the situation.

Letting a newcomer who has just embarked on the path of immortality take office in a place like this is basically the same as being dead.

"True Lord, the previous lords of Faceless City either regressed in their cultivation or became possessed and mentally confused. This punishment is too severe." Sect Leader Qiao Shuzhen pleaded.

"Are they dead?"

"This..." Qiao Shuzhen shook his head, "No."

The Lord of Faceless City was arranged by Huashen Sect. His cultivation regressed and he became possessed. But if he died, it would be a disgrace to Huashen Sect, and Huashen Sect would have to plow the place over.

"Since you're not dead, then it's decided."

Qian Zhenhai waved his hand and said directly: "Send Xia Ansheng to Wumian City for one year. There will be a special person to evaluate him within one year. If he fails to manage the city properly, he will continue to serve."

"Master..." Qiao Shuzhen still wanted to beg for mercy.

Qian Zhenhai just snorted coldly, then waved his hand and moved him out.

When Qian Zhenhai was the only one left in such a big place, his slightly angry expression disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Besides me, you are the only one who can fit that flag."

"Don't let me down."

"For the sake of Huashen Sect, everything is worth it."

Qian Zhenhai looked at the statue and thought to himself, "Old Ancestor, where have you been? Do you really not care about the Huashen Sect anymore?"

…………

Qiao Shuzhen looked around in a daze. After a while, he came to his senses and realized that he had been driven out by Qian Zhenhai.

"Oh, how can I explain this?"

He just wanted to put Tang Ansheng in solitary confinement for a few months to wear him down, but he never expected that the punishment given by the True Lord would be so severe.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have come to see the other party.

Unfortunately, things have come to this point and cannot be undone.

Qiao Shuzhen walked back to the main hall and happened to see Tang Ansheng sitting in the main seat.

"How is it, Sect Master, what is the result of the discussion?" Tang Ansheng asked casually.

"Send the Faceless City..."

Qiao Shuzhen frowned and repeated Yuanying Zhenjun's words in a halting manner.

Tang Ansheng sat at the top of the table, nodding as he listened.

It looked as if he was the sect leader and Qiao Shuzhen was just the one reporting things.

"oh, I understand now."

"Fellow Daoist Ansheng, I did something wrong in this matter. I didn't expect the punishment from the True Lord would be so severe." Qiao Shuzhen looked apologetic.

"According to what the True Lord said, you must go alone when you take up the post this time, and no guards will follow you."

Qiao Shuzhen couldn't understand why this was pushing people to death.

But the True Lord had clearly covered up and condoned so many things before, so why was he like this?

There are too many problems here. Even though Qiao Shuzhen is the leader of a sect, he cannot guess what Yuanying Zhenjun is thinking.

"No problem." Tang Ansheng nodded.

"That's Faceless... Oh, okay." Qiao Shuzhen sighed.

He thought that Tang Ansheng didn't understand the pros and cons of this, but when he thought about it, the more talented a person is, the more confident he is.

You won't turn back until you hit the wall.

"Does Daoist Ansheng have anything else that needs to be dealt with? I'll take care of it all, so Daoist Ansheng won't have to worry about anything."

Qiao Shuzhen felt a little guilty, so he wanted to start from this aspect.

"I think it's okay for me to be ranked first in this freshman ceremony."

Qiao Shuzhen said: "This... is of course no problem."

Tang Ansheng should have been ranked first because his record is real.

"Well, there's this, pass it on."

Tang Ansheng stretched out his hand, and the piece of paper with the clan leader's seal fell into Qiao Shuzhen's hand.

When Qiao Shuzhen took it and looked at it, he thought it was nothing at first, but when he saw the sect leader's seal, his eyes widened immediately.

what happened?

Didn’t he set up a formation?

"Huh? What are you looking at me for?" Tang Ansheng frowned.

"Um...Okay, let's follow what Daoist Ansheng said."

Tang Ansheng nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Well, it's okay, you can go down."

"Okay, then I'll sue..."

Qiao Shuzhen was about to bow and salute, but suddenly realized that he was the sect leader!

"You... go down." Qiao Shuzhen pointed at Tang Ansheng, and then pointed outside the hall.

"Why are you so nagging?"

Tang Ansheng glanced at him and said, then he waved his hand, spread his robe, stood up from the main seat, and walked out with a swagger.

The way he walked like a dragon and a tiger gave him more of the aura of a sect leader than he did.

When Qiao Shuzhen saw this scene, his original guilty feeling instantly dissipated a lot.

"Huh, don't be angry, I'm not angry."

Qiao Shuzhen sat back in the main seat, looking at the sect leader's seal rolling on the table, with other guesses in his mind.

"Even if I didn't activate this Nine-Bend Soul Bewilderment Formation on purpose and didn't check it all the time, it would take at least the Golden Core Stage to open a hole."

"He is only in the Qi training stage, how can he possibly get the seal?"

Qiao Shuzhen put the clan leader's seal back to its original place, and when he thought about what had happened recently, he had all kinds of guesses in his mind.

At this moment, a voice came into his ears.

"Master, I ask you to take care of my grandson."

"nature."

Qiao Shuzhen nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Ansheng, have a safe journey."

"Haha, if the mountain doesn't move, the water will move; if the water doesn't move, the road will move. Daoist friend Qiao, just let it be if you can't figure it out."

"Who can fully understand everything in this world?"

The hearty laughter startled Qiao Shuzhen.

"Fellow Daoist Ansheng's cultivation level is not as good as mine, but his state of mind is higher than mine."

Outside the hall, Tang Ansheng walked towards the distance.

Qiao Shuzhen had already given him the map coordinates, the city lord's token and other necessary things.

As for saying goodbye to Xia Fan and others, there was no need for that. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and he had done enough.

"I will go to Quantai to recruit my old subordinates, with 100,000 flags, to kill Yama Luo."

His old subordinates didn’t have it, but as for this flag, he actually had one!

Chapter 32 Taking Office

"call!"

On the empty plain, there was a slight fluctuation in space, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

"Is this teleportation? It feels almost the same as taking an elevator." Tang Ansheng muttered.

The Huashen Sect's sphere of influence is within a radius of ten thousand miles, and the Wumian City is even on the edge. Although he was asked to go alone, it was impossible for him to go there on foot.

This teleportation formation can travel thousands of miles in an instant. Except for the poor control of the landing point and the large number of spirit stones consumed in activation, all other advantages are there.

"According to what the Sect Master said, he has already sent someone to notify Faceless City. As soon as I arrive at the city gate, someone will come to pick me up."

"When the time comes, as long as you take out the token, you will be the lord of the city."

Tang Ansheng took out a round black token from his storage bag. The word "Wu" was engraved on the front and the word "Mian" was engraved on the back.

Because Faceless City is close to the lawless land, the actual situation is very special and chaotic, and no sect disciple is willing to come and manage it.

Therefore, usually disciples who have committed serious mistakes will be sent here.

The previous lord of Faceless City was an inner disciple who had just entered the foundation-building stage. He killed his fellow disciples over a treasure issue, and since there was no one to manage Faceless City at the time, he was sent here.

But not long after he arrived here, he became obsessed and mentally confused.

The Huashen Sect had no choice but to take the person back.

So the position of the Lord of Faceless City became vacant again.

"Some of the city lords who took over Faceless City managed the city peacefully for decades and finally retired safely."

"Some have only been in office for a few months before they become obsessed."

"It's interesting."

Tang Ansheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the information given by the sect leader. In addition to the city lord token, there were some other things in the storage bag, all related to the Faceless City.

After he finished his inspection, he strode forward.

On this endless plain, there was no one except his lonely figure.

"The teleportation array is slightly off, but it should be within a few dozen miles of Faceless City."

"If we work harder, we can get there tonight."

There are two ways of teleportation through this large array. One is fixed-point teleportation, which can directly teleport to the target point. This mode is very precise, but it requires a teleportation array to be set up at the target point.

However, there are too many cities within the influence of the Huashen Sect. Except for the main cities, it is impossible to set up teleportation arrays in other cities. Otherwise, the cost would be an astronomical figure.

The other is random teleportation. Although it is not accurate and may have an error of dozens of miles, the advantage is that you can choose any point within a radius of thousands of miles.

Since Faceless City did not have a teleportation formation, naturally only the latter could be used for teleportation.

"I heard that the sect also wanted to build a teleportation array in Wumian City before, but it was destroyed every few days, and finally nothing happened."

Why is it left unresolved?

Because the Lord of Faceless City said that it was done by a casual cultivator.

As a casual cultivator, he has no ties, so it’s not surprising that he would do anything.

Of course, in Tang Ansheng's opinion, the most important thing is that this place is not of much value, and the Huashen Sect is unwilling to spend too much effort to manage it.

It is close to a lawless area with chaotic management, and it cannot bring any significant resources to the sect. There are very few spiritual stones and supplies.

Such a desolate place, if it were not located in the border area, the Huashen Sect probably wouldn't even want to care about it.

"Although it is such a chaotic place, every city lord who takes office has never thought of escaping." Tang Ansheng thought.

This is normal. Running away is equivalent to being a deserter on the battlefield, which is equivalent to betraying the sect and will be wanted by the Huashen Sect.
