The gathering point was set in the center of the City Lord's Palace Square, which was a large martial arts training ground. Bustling crowds gathered around the square, including many City Lord's Palace guards wearing armor.
These guards maintained order with expressionless faces. Although there were a large number of people in the square, no one made any discordant sounds. Chen Fan could hardly hear any voices except for the sound of footsteps.
Entering the gathering point, people from the three major forces are already waiting here.
On the seat in the middle, Chen Fan saw an old man with white hair and a golden robe. The old man was similar in age to President Mo Ran, but his body was getting older, like a lion in his twilight years.
, leaning on the seat and falling asleep.
President Mo Ran introduced in a low voice, "This is the old city lord Feng Xiang, the well-deserved number one combat force in Black Rock City."
Chen Fan felt secretly in his heart, and secretly glanced at the old man in the Chinese robe. Even though the man was leaning against the cushion, as if he was a dying old man, the slight fluctuation in his aura that he inadvertently released still made Chen Fan feel a great feeling.
pressure.
This shows how powerful the fourth-level combat power is.
Next to the old man in the Chinese robe, stood silently a young figure with a thin body and long purple-gray hair.
Chen Fan recognized the identity of this person at a glance. It was Feng Li, the young city lord whom he had met once before. At this time, Feng Li's aura was restrained, standing behind the old city lord like a wooden stake, but his powerful aura was
Like a sword that cannot be hidden, it constantly exudes a numbing pressure, and no one even dares to come within five feet of him.
Chen Fan's eyes lightly swept over Feng Li, who also opened his eyes slightly, glanced at him quite unexpectedly, a ray of light radiated from his eyes, and whispered, "It's him!"
Chen Fan naturally felt the other person's gaze, but he smiled faintly and quickly looked away.
The old city lord who had been in a "sleeping" state suddenly sensed something. He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Chen Fan calmly. When he saw Mo Ran standing next to Chen Fan, he couldn't help but smile playfully.
laughed,
"It's really shocking that this old guy Mo Ran has hired such a powerful foreign aid. Feng Li, from the look on your face, it seems you know this young man?"
With the eyesight of an old city man, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this mysterious young man at a glance. He couldn't help but be secretly frightened and guessed Chen Fan's origin.
Young City Lord Feng Li took a step forward and whispered, "Father, I met this man once. At that time, he strayed into the wilderness and was being chased by the First Elder and the Ninth Elder of the Lizard Tribe."
Then, Feng Li silently recounted what he saw that night.
"Oh?" The old city owner opened his slightly closed eyes and glanced at Feng Li in surprise, "This young man actually faced the two elders of the Lizard Tribe at the same time without changing his expression?"
"Yes!" Feng Li frowned secretly and said very cautiously, "Although his level of evolution is not too high and is even a step behind me, I don't know why, but I can sense a threat in him. This guy
...very dangerous!”
On the other side, Heishan, who was the commander of the City Lord's Mansion, suddenly said, "City Lord, look at this posture, he is a foreign aid invited by the Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what the origin is. Is this behavior of President Mo Ran illegal?"
Do you want……"
"Need not!"
The old city lord waved his hands calmly and said, "Mo Ran and I have known each other for decades. I know best what kind of temper this old guy has. The Chamber of Commerce has no intention of pursuing fame and profit. He just wants to find what he once lost in the secret realm."
Spiritual Medicine Cauldron, if I refuse to give you even this face, I'm afraid this old guy will cause trouble for me again."
Speaking of this, the old city lord also showed a headache.
Although Black Rock City is controlled by the City Lord's Palace, the proportion occupied by the Chamber of Commerce is too large. Even the City Lord's Palace does not dare to offend Mo Ran easily. After all, this old guy has a tight grip on the economic lifeline of the entire Black Rock City.
No matter how powerful the city lord's palace is, it can't live by eating dirt, right?
What's more, helping Mo Ran retrieve the elixir cauldron is definitely a good thing for the old city lord.
"Haha, you old man, I never expected you to attend the event in person. I rarely see you in such public places. It's really strange!"
At this time, President Mo Ran had already led Chen Fan and walked straight towards the old city lord's bodyguards. The old city lord immediately opened his eyes, waved his hands to repel the guards on the left and right, stood up and raised his hands to Mo Ran and said, "I'm old.
If you don’t exercise your muscles and bones, you may not even be able to walk in the future.”
With a smile on his face, President Mo Ran walked up to the old city lord and said, "Don't be too modest. After your body has been nursed back to health by me, you can live for at least twenty more years. If I can get back the elixir cauldron this time, it will be considered a help."
It is not impossible for you to return to your peak."
When the old city lord heard this, he smiled and said, "That's good work."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Fan. He was quite interested in this mysterious guy and was about to ask. At this time, in another corner of the square, two middle-aged men in colorful clothes walked out of the square.
, cupped his hands to the old city lord from a distance and said, "Haha, is the old city lord okay?"
He is from the Qin and Zhao families.
Hearing this voice, the old city lord frowned for a moment, but soon showed a smile, stood up and said, "Master Zhao, Master Qin, you two are willing to come to the appointment, it is really brilliant."
Zhao Huan has blond hair and tiger eyes, but his cheeks are thin, and the viciousness in his eyes inadvertently makes people feel uncomfortable.
Next to the leader of the Zhao family, there is a taciturn middle-aged man, with green clothes and black hair, and a deep face. This man is the leader of the Qin family, and his name is Qin Cheng.
Next to the two gate masters, each was followed by a young man. Zhao Bao had a flying figure, brisk steps, and a proud expression on his face.
But behind Qin Cheng was a skinny young man with dark eyes and fair skin, making him look very feminine. He should be the candidate to represent the Qin family, Qin Heng.
The four of them entered the square and first exchanged polite greetings with the old city lord. Then they focused their attention on President Mo Ran and said politely, "Even Lord Mo Ran is here. It's really rare."
President Mo Ran remained calm and greeted the heads of the two major families in turn. He looked around and then fixed on the face of Zhao Huan, the head of the Zhao family, and said with a smile, "Why don't you see your second son?"
Zhao Huan laughed and said, "I heard that Quanzi seems to have had some troubles with people from the Chamber of Commerce recently. In order to punish him for his bad behavior, I have ordered him to be grounded and not allowed to go out casually. I hope that there will be a lot of Wang Han in the Mo Ran Conference and not to worry about Quanzi.
.”
President Mo Ran lowered his eyes and said with a sneer, "A ban? Master Zhao's family tradition is really strict!"
Zhao Huanpi said with a smile, "Before, Quanzi and you had some misunderstandings, but young people will inevitably be impulsive. I hope Mo Ran will forgive me. If there is any difficulty, I hope Lord Mo Ran will tell you."
, I, the Zhao family, will definitely be satisfied and treat it as an apology to you."
President Mo Ran chuckled and said, "That's not necessary. Our Chamber of Commerce is not so shameless."
The two of them were polite on the surface, and Zhao Huan kept his attitude extremely low, but behind the scenes they were quarreling with each other, and their spit almost spattered sparks. (To be continued)
