Chapter 166 The City Gates Are Closed
The leaders looked at each other.
The mayor Lu Zhiheng, who was sitting in the main seat was a little angry.
He slapped the armrest of the chair and shattered it.
“Are you all mute!”
Zhou Nan, the sect master of the first-rate Red Robe Gang in Yellow Clouds City, stood up.
He cupped his fists and said to Mayor Lu Zhiheng.
“Mayor, it’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that the eastern district has been destroyed.”
“How can we find out? The cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice.”
As soon as he said that, Lu Yuxiang, the sect master of the Dragon Spring Sect, who was also a first-rate force in Yellow Clouds City, also stood up.
“It’s not that we don’t have any clues.”
“When the eastern district was attacked that night, a disciple of our Dragon Spring Sect happened to witness the scene of the attack.”
“According to what the disciple of our Dragon Spring Sect saw, the person who attacked was at least at the earth immortal realm.”
Zhou Nan snorted coldly.
“Lu Yuxiang, what do you mean?”
Lu Yuxiang curled the corner of his mouth.
“What? You don’t allow our Dragon Spring Sect to find clues that the Red Robe Gang can’t find?”
Zhou Nan side-eyed Lu Yuxiang and said.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
“You’re talking about the earth immortal realm. Do you think the earth immortal realm is like cabbages?”
“That they are everywhere!”
Lu Yuxiang said in a weird tone.
“Oh? Sect Master Zhou, you mean you already know who the murderer is?”
Zhou Nan roared angrily.
“You!”
Lu Zhiheng, who was sitting on the main seat, scolded.
“If you guys continue to quarrel, I’ll kill you and throw you out of the city!”
As expected, after the mayor spoke, Lu Yuxiang and Zhou Nan obediently sat back down.
They were not the only ones who did not dare to provoke the mayor. Everyone present did not dare to provoke Lu Zhiheng.
This was because the mayor, Lu Zhiheng, was a cultivator at the middle stage of the earth immortal realm.
Although they were also in the earth immortal realm, they were only at the initial stage of the earth immortal realm.
In the realm above the nascent soul realm, the difference between every three minor realms could only be described as the difference between clouds and mud.
After an ordinary person attained the earth immortal realm, their advancement would become extremely slow.
Lu Zhiheng coughed twice and then asked Lu Yuxiang.
“Yuxiang, are you serious about what you said about the person who attacked them being at least at the earth immortal realm?”
Lu Yuxiang, who had just sat down, stood up again.
“Yes, I didn’t hide anything from you.”
Lu Zhiheng raised his teacup, but he didn’t drink it. Instead, he rubbed the teacup with his fingers.
After a while.
Finally, Lu Zhiheng opened his mouth.
“Pass down my order. From today onwards, the entire city will be on alert. You are only allowed to enter, and you are not allowed to leave!”
Everyone in the hall shouted in unison.
“Yes!”
Then, with a wave of Lu Zhiheng’s sleeve, the representatives of the leading forces in Yellow Clouds City all left.
Zhou Nan also stood up and was about to leave. Lu Yuxiang was still sitting in the same spot, holding his teacup with a smile on his face.
When he passed by Lu Yuxiang’s seat, Zhou Nan snorted coldly. Then he flung his hand and left.
After Zhou Nan had walked far away, Lu Yuxiang stopped drinking tea and revealed a meaningful smile.
Then, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
The sky was just beginning to brighten. The master and disciple who had slept outside the city gate the whole night were extremely hungry.
He Xiangjiang had been squatting at the city gate since early in the morning, hoping that the city gate would open.
When the city gate opened, He Xiangjiang hurriedly woke up the old Taoist priest.
“Master, Master, I’m hungry. Quick, quick, the city gate is open. Let’s go into the city to eat something before we set off.”
The old Taoist priest’s stomach was also growling
Then, the master and disciple walked into the city gate.
After entering the city gate, the master and disciple discovered something unusual.
Why were there so many guards guarding the city gate?
The master and disciple were so hungry that they did not have time to think carefully. They entered the city and found a breakfast shop.
They bought a few steamed buns and a big bag of bean juice from the boss and began to wolf down the food.
While he was eating halfway, He Xiangjiang found that the bulletin board in the city was surrounded by many people, and there were noisy discussions.
“Master, what’s going on over there? Why are there so many people?”
He Xiangjiang gnawed on a steamed bun and looked at the bulletin board.
The old Taoist priest paid no attention to it and only focused on gnawing on the steamed bun.
Seeing that his master did not react, He Xiangjiang spoke again. “Why don’t we go over and take a look?” The old Taoist priest waved his hand in disdain.
“If you want to go, go by yourself. How old are you? You still like to join in the fun.”
He Xiangjiang could only gnaw on the steamed bun as he walked towards the bulletin board.
Before he reached the bulletin board, he heard the discussions of the crowd.
“On what basis? Why can’t we leave?”
“That’s right, that’s right. I still have to go back to my parents’ house.”
“Is it because of the attack on the eastern district a while ago?”
“Who knows? Anyway, it’s great now. Once you enter, you can’t leave.”
When He Xiangjiang heard the discussion, he became even more curious.
He wanted to go to the bulletin board to take a look.
But unfortunately, the young Taoist priest had never cultivated before.
Facing a human wall formed by a group of adults, no matter how hard the young Taoist priest tried, he could not get in.
The young Taoist priest could only give up and gently patted a person’s arm.
“Uncle, I can’t squeeze in. Can you tell me what is on the bulletin board?”
“Oh! The general meaning of the bulletin board is that from today onwards, people are only allowed to enter Yellow Clouds City, but no one is allowed to leave.”
He Xiangjiang exclaimed in surprise. Then he politely thanked the middle-aged man who had answered his question.
Then, he hurriedly ran back to the old Taoist priest’s side.
“Master, Master, this is bad!”
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes at the young Taoist priest who was running towards him.
“What’s the matter? The bulletin board says that the world is going to be destroyed?”
He Xiangjiang said unhappily.
“No!”
Then, he repeated what the middle-aged man had told him to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest only responded with an “oh” calmly.
He Xiangjiang said a little angrily.
“Oh? Master, didn’t you say that we have to hurry on our way? Now that we can’t leave Yellow Clouds City, how can we catch up with the ferry?”
The old Taoist priest dug his ears and said.
“Then should we force our way out?”
He Xiangjiang was dissatisfied.
“Master, don’t joke anymore.”
The old Taoist priest yawned.
“Since we can’t get out, then let’s just take it as it is. Why don’t we find an inn and sleep in peace?”
“I didn’t sleep well last night leaning against the city wall. I need to catch up on my sleep.”
Without waiting for He Xiangjiang to agree, he stood up and wanted to find an inn. After the old Taoist priest took two steps, He Xiangjiang looked at his open-hearted master, who was indifferent.
Feeling helpless, he sighed and finished the last two mouthfuls of steamed bun. Then, he followed him.
On this day, Jiang Ping got up and planned to go downstairs to find the waiter to prepare breakfast for the group.
When he went downstairs, he saw the waiter putting up a notice at the entrance of the inn.
Jiang Ping first greeted him.
Then, he asked the waiter to prepare breakfast.
But the waiter said to him.
“Master, you only paid the room fee for one night. If you still want to stay for the next few days, you have to inform us in advance.”
Jiang Ping shook his head.
“No, we’ll leave the city after breakfast.”
The waiter smiled awkwardly.
“Maybe you won’t be able to leave the city today…”
