It has been more than half a year since the last incident. Many monks from Central Continent and Eastern Region have left Phoenix City, including the Ruyi Sect group. Although many strong men were buried in the mountains, all forces suffered heavy losses.
But since you have to be prepared to sacrifice when you participate in the treasure hunt, you can't blame others. Moreover, there are four major families in the Borderless Land, and Sword Mountain is guarded by ten thousand swords. It is not easy for them to move the Sword Tomb.
Those who remained were those who had irresolvable grievances with Jianzhong, such as Tianji Pavilion, Liyang Sword Sect, and Xuantian Sect.
Lin Chen and the other two swaggered back to Phoenix City, and then back to their previous mansion. Many people talked about them along the way, but no one came forward to talk to them.
There has been no one living in the house for more than half a year, but I'm afraid they won't be able to live here for long, so the five of them didn't do much to clean up. They only briefly cleaned the room where they lived before.
Lin Chen still wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion. After being here for so long, it was time to meet the City Lord.
"Lin Chen, let me go with you."
Xingtong was a little worried about Lin Chen going alone.
Lin Chen also knew that Xingtong was a little worried, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Xingtong was going, and Xiaoman would definitely go with him. As for Luo Yu and Nangong Han, they stayed in the house. They just went to see the city lord, and there was no need to go with so many people.
Although they were not very familiar with Phoenix City, they still knew the location of the City Lord's Mansion. The three of them left the house and walked straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
More than half a quarter of an hour later, the three of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as they approached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, they were stopped by the guard.
Lin Chen said to the guard: "Please inform the Lord of the City that Lin Chen, the Young Master of Jianzhong, has come to ask for an audience."
As soon as they heard about the Young Master of Sword Tomb, the guards looked at the three of them twice more.
"Wait a moment, you three. I'll go and report it right away."
A guard turned around and entered the palace gate.
Lin Chen and Xingtong looked at each other. The guard's attitude was quite polite.
Not long after, the guard who reported the news came back and said to Lin Chen and the others: "The city lord has invited you, you three, please come with me."
In fact, Lin Chen had already guessed that the city lord would definitely let them in. He smiled at each other with Xingtong, and the three of them followed the guard and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
Someone quickly reported the situation here to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling turned around suddenly: "Are you saying that Lin Chen went to the city lord's mansion and the city lord also met with them?"
The Tianji Pavilion disciple didn't expect Ye Ling to have such a big reaction. He lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Ye Ling's face gradually darkened, and then he waved his hand to the Tianji Pavilion disciple, who bowed and retreated.
"Qin Xiao!"
It took a long time before Ye Ling uttered two words.
"How much energy does this Qin Xiao have?"
Ye Ling's expression changed uncertainly, and finally there was a sharp murderous intention in his eyes: "I want to see how much energy a sword god who has been dead for ten years can still have. The rules of Fenglei Terrace are set by the four major families. Take it.
The lot of life and death determines life and death, and even the Lord of Phoenix City cannot save them."
In the reception room of the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Chen met Xuanyuan Ce, the City Lord of Phoenix City.
This is a middle-aged man who is not angry but proud of himself.
"I have met the Lord of the City."
The three of them did not dare to neglect and saluted respectfully.
Xuanyuan Ce looked at the three of them, and his consciousness swept across the three of them inadvertently. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the three of them were extraordinary, even this girl who looked like a maid.
He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he already has the cultivation level of the Sixth Realm. There are probably few people in Central Continent who can match him, especially this Lin Chen, even he can't see through the other person's depth.
Lin Chen noticed it when Xuanyuan Ce's spiritual consciousness came over. He knew that Xuanyuan Ce was spying on their cultivation, so he pretended to be nonchalant and did not show anything unusual.
Xuanyuan Ce's eyes fell on Lin Chen: "You must be Lin Chen, the young master of Jianzhong. I have heard about you. You are now famous people in Phoenix City. When I met today, it turned out that the rumors were true. You will be feared later.
.”
"Your Majesty the City Lord, you have given me too much praise."
Xuanyuan Ce chuckled: "You three, please take a seat."
Lin Chen didn't expect that the city lord would be so polite, and he didn't refuse. After thanking him, he sat down with Xingtong. Xiaoman did not sit down, but stood behind Xingtong.
Xuanyuan Ce also sat down, and then asked: "I wonder what you are talking about with me?"
Lin Chen knew in his heart that Xuanyuan Ce must have guessed that he would come in advance. He could tell from the guards' attitudes towards the three of them, so he must have guessed a thing or two about his purpose, but he could still guess.
, I still have to say what I say on the surface.
"Ten years ago, my father Qin Xiao came to the Borderless Land. I wonder if the City Lord knows about it?"
Xuanyuan Ce nodded and said, "I know a little bit."
Lin Chen smiled and said: "My father left me something here. I think the city lord has also heard about it. It is Jianshan. There was some dispute about this matter half a year ago. The thing left by my father
It must not fall into the hands of others. Fortunately, my father's relics have been saved for the time being. However, there are still many people who covet it. The so-called crime of harboring a jade, I know that I am weak and weak, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect myself, so I came here to ask for help from the Lord of the City.
.”
Xuanyuan Ce's facial muscles twitched slightly. In the battle of Jianshan, all forces suffered heavy losses. There were heavy casualties and blood flowed into rivers. No one got a single benefit from your hands. It's really not enough for such a weak force.
Thin.
"Well, I have also heard about this matter. Half a year ago, all forces suffered heavy casualties. Although I can still talk to them, if they want an explanation, it is not easy for me to intervene."
Lin Chen naturally knew that Xuanyuan Ce's words were just prevarication. The Unbounded Land was the territory governed by the four major families, and Phoenix City was the main territory of the human race. Xuanyuan Ce, as a member of the Xuanyuan family and the city lord of Phoenix City, naturally
Have the right to speak.
It has been more than half a year since Sword Tomb offended two superpowers in Central Continent. If it were not for the interference of the four major families, Sword Tomb would have been lost long ago.
Qin Xiao came to the Borderless Land ten years ago. The four major families must have known about this matter. Without the consent of the four major families, how could Qin Xiao bring Jianshan to the Borderless Land? Lin Chen didn’t know that Qin Xiao and
What happened or there was some agreement between the four major families, but he must have made some arrangements for doing this.
However, the city lord will definitely not agree to anything so easily. After all, Tianji Pavilion is also a super power in Central Continent. If Tianji Pavilion wants an explanation to put pressure on the four major families, the four major families cannot ignore it. After all, Tianji Pavilion has its reasons.
In this way, if the four major families insist on protecting Sword Tomb, they may offend a super power in Central Continent.
But if Tianji Pavilion wants to cause trouble in the boundless land, not only must it pass the four major families, but the other three major races will definitely not sit idly by. This depends on the attitude of the four major families. This is a matter within the human race.
Regarding the matter, the four major families also have to give the three races a reason or an explanation. After all, the Borderless Land is not only the human race, but also an area jointly controlled by the four major races.
Therefore, the attitudes of the four major families determine the final development of the situation.
