Beihai City Lord Xiang Zhen looked at Zhang Yifeng and asked with suspicion on his face.
"Hahaha, it seems that it is indeed a misunderstanding. If I came to kill people, how could I be so arrogant?"
"Although I have heard about the recent events in Beihai City, it is still surprising to see the worried look of the city lord."
Zhang Yifeng laughed loudly and waved his hand indifferently.
Hearing this, Xiang Zhen's face changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.
Just because what Zhang Yifeng said just now really touched the embarrassment in Xiang Zhen's heart.
As the city lord guarding a city, he was unable to eradicate the chaos that occurred in his city.
He even refused to allow his subordinates to investigate anything related to these chaos just because their lives were threatened.
These things have become a thorn in Xiang Zhen's heart, which caused Zhang Yifeng to immediately make him unhappy after saying these things.
But Xiang Zhen suppressed these angry emotions again.
It was because he was certain that the young man in front of him who drove the flying boat all the way to the city lord's mansion was definitely not the troublemaker in Beihai City.
Even the arrival of this person may add a new dawn to the situation in Beihai City that is gradually heading toward collapse.
"Xiang Zhen, Lord of Beihai City, dare I ask my friend's name?"
After Xiang Zhen thought for a while, he raised his hand to signal the four guards behind him to calm down, and then asked Zhang Yifeng.
"Oh, I'm just a wild cloud and a crane. The city lord can just call me Zhang Yifeng."
Zhang Yifeng replied with a smile, then deliberately raised his eyes to look at the City Lord's Mansion in front of the two of them.
Xiang Zhen's pupils froze when he saw this, and he immediately understood what he meant.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang has come all the way. If you don't mind, why don't you just take a rest in the city lord's mansion for a while?"
After Xiang Zhen finished speaking, he raised his hand to signal the four guards behind him.
When the four of them saw this, they flashed and disappeared immediately.
Zhang Yifeng naturally would not refuse Xiang Zhen's invitation, and replied with a smile on his face: "Then City Lord Xiang will take the trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yifeng drove the flying boat directly into the city lord's palace.
Xiang Zhen's city lord's palace occupies a huge area, and the courtyard in front of it alone is enough for a flying boat to land.
Shortly after Zhang Yifeng entered the city lord's palace, someone walked out of the palace and dispersed the people and monks who were attracted to watch.
According to what the servants in the mansion said, everyone also knew that the young man who came in the flying boat seemed to be a distant relative of the city lord.
Among the dispersed crowd, a man wearing a black hood sneered.
"Humph, the city lord's distant cousin? How ridiculous."
"Ever since he became the lord of Beihai City, he has taken his entire family into the lord's palace, including his foreign relatives."
"Why did such a young distant cousin suddenly show up at this time?"
The hooded man in black robe sneered and thought secretly in his heart, while his figure gradually faded away with the crowd.
Needless to say, his identity is that he was sent by the bandit cultivators to secretly monitor any abnormality in Beihai City.
Zhang Yifeng entered the city in such a swagger, so he naturally had to keep a close eye on him as a hidden stake.
After hearing the explanation from the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, he was not in a hurry to go back and report.
"I'm afraid this kid also came here for the treasure key of the emperor's treasury. As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the city lord's mansion of Mr. Xiang Zhen..."
The man in black robe was thinking, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that someone was dishonest and secretly provided him with some information."
As soon as he thought about this, the man in black robe had a goal in his mind.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the city gate, having already initially determined in his mind where Zhang Yifeng got the news.
"If you can't keep your mouth shut, don't blame me for being cruel."
He laughed evilly, slowly sneaked into the darkness, and moved toward the city gate.
On the other side, Zhang Yifeng had jumped off the flying boat and fell into the courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
Everyone in the airship felt the slight tremor of the docking, and walked out of the cabin one by one.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I will inform my servants about your identity for the time being, so that they can unanimously say that you are my distant cousin."
Xiang Zhen stood in front of Zhang Yifeng and said in a deep voice.
"Lord Xiang has taken the trouble, so he will arrange it this way."
Zhang Yifeng nodded, and then glanced at the people walking out of the flying boat, but Lei Ao was nowhere to be seen.
"That kid was quite tired, so I deliberately didn't wake him up."
Ji Dali jumped to Zhang Yifeng's side, scratched his head and laughed.
As soon as he saw Zhang Yifeng's eyes sweeping across the crowd, Ji Dali knew what he was thinking.
"Well, let him rest a little longer."
Zhang Yifeng nodded slightly, then turned around and led Ji Dali and Xuanyuan Li, who had just got off the flying boat, towards the living room ahead.
Xiang Zhen was slightly startled when he saw this, but he quickly understood what he meant and hurriedly followed him.
"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Zhang really keeps everything simple. I thought you would be polite to me again."
Xiang Zhen coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment.
"I think with the current situation in Beihai City, there shouldn't be much time for us to chat."
"City Lord Xiang should have noticed that I came here just to stabilize the situation in Beihai City and to gain some personal gain for myself."
Zhang Yifeng walked into the living room, found a chair and sat down, and said softly.
When Xiang Zhen heard this, he didn't put on any pretense as a city lord and sat directly next to him.
"Well, I know the situation in Beihai City better than anyone else, but I couldn't compete with them with my own strength before."
"I saw these guys doing evil in the city with my own eyes. I just wish I couldn't stop them directly!"
Xiang Zhen said through gritted teeth, a look of resentment flashing in his eyes.
Seeing his behavior, Zhang Yifeng understood that he was not the kind of trash that is common people.
It seems that the power of these bandit cultivators in Beihai City is indeed not small. Even Xiang Zhen, the lord of the city, cannot do anything to them.
"Well, Lord Xiang doesn't have to blame himself. There is probably a force behind these bandits that you can't even imagine."
"I think after these days of experience, City Lord Xiang has already seen some clues about this."
Zhang Yifeng looked at him with flat eyes and said.
"Yes, it seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang already knows something about these bandit cultivators."
"Without the support of the people behind them, these bandit cultivators would never be our opponents."
"But the people behind them are too powerful. They not only increased the strength of these bandit cultivators, but also controlled everything secretly."
"Once I want to make any changes, they will use various methods to warn me."
Xiang Zhen slammed his fist on the wooden table at hand and said bitterly.
"Hmm... Lord Xiang, does he know if there is a Lei family among the big families that were massacred in Beihai City?"
