This immortal has a lot of rebelliousness

The dawn is just beginning to break, and the sky is filled with morning glow.

Early morning hours.

The detention team from "Lingyun Peak" set out from the post station, facing the rising warm sunshine, passed through the streets and alleys of Haoqi City, and came directly to the outside of the city wall.

It lasted several days.

Their mission was finally completed, and they had to return home and report to the Lingyunfeng mining area.

Even though there was a shortage of spirit stones, no one cared.

With the connivance of Nangong Wu and Nangong Zhe, this matter was forcibly suppressed and became a fact tacitly acknowledged by the entire Haoqi City.

"Is this really good?"

In the corner of the city wall.

Two figures crouched on the green bricks and red tiles, overlooking the team leaving the city as they walked further and further away.

Wei Yinhong's eyes were like torches as she asked coldly, "As the commander-in-chief of the mining area, if Nangong Yan found out that you didn't return with the team, I'm afraid he would be suspicious of you."

"It's no big deal."

Sitting cross-legged on the side.

Zhang Xianling changed into a plain dress, the sword-holding gourd on his waist swaying gently in the breeze. He calmly replied, "Nangong Yan is still relatively young. Even if he has some ideas, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly against me. Moreover, he has Xiao Yuzi as his backer. If there's any movement, he'll notify me in advance."

He glanced at Wei Yinhong beside him.

Zhang Xianling sighed softly, "The only solution now is to find a way to remove the poison from your body. This thing is very evil, and I'm afraid my pill won't last long."

Hear the words.

Wei Yinhong clenched his fists, and the sharp edge in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

The cold morning breeze blew across the city wall.

The heroic female swordsman had a solemn expression on her face, and her blood-red dress was extremely eye-catching.

"It's time to get down to business!"

Stand up suddenly.

Zhang Xianling straightened his sleeves and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure that the guy who put the curse on you is now in Nangong Zhe's villa outside the city?"

Nodding silently.

Wei Yinhong said confidently, "Although it was late at night, and they used a sleight of hand to conceal their presence, I recognized their tactics. The cultivator who used the Gu technique was none other than Nangong Zhe's guest official, Duan Peng, also known as the 'Ghost Guest'!"

That night.

She clearly remembered that there were three people besieging her.

Duan Peng was one of them, and he was also the culprit who finally planted the poison into his own body.

"That's OK!"

grin.

Zhang Xianling's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he pondered, "According to the original plan, you wait for me at the agreed location. Once that guy falls into the trap, we will immediately take him down!"

The bell also needs to be tied.

The poison is very strange. If you want to get rid of it, you can only rely on the means of the person who put the poison on you. Others can only suppress it temporarily, but cannot cure it completely.

Say it.

Zhang Xianling raised his hand and sent out a flash of light, as if he was about to leave immediately.

"Zhang Xianling..."

The red dress is extremely elegant.

Wei Yinhong on the city wall hesitated for a while, then suddenly warned, "You, be careful."

Startled slightly.

Zhang Xianling took a close look at the female swordsman and couldn't help but smile. "You woman, when you're not being aggressive, you're quite alluring. If I weren't so experienced, I would have really thought you'd pledge yourself to me!"

"Disgusting!" Wei Yinhong shouted angrily.

"That's all..."

He waved his hand.

Zhang Xianling sighed deeply and said with a playful smile, "We will split up and do our respective duties. That's it!"

With a whoosh~~

As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for the other party to react.

Zhang Xianling had already controlled the escape light and was speeding towards the suburbs in the south of the city.

Watching the escaping light go away.

Wei Yinhong also stood up slowly, but the remaining blush on her face was still vivid.

But then he saw his sword finger circling.

The red flying sword behind her was immediately unsheathed, turning into a red light and carrying her into the wild.

......

An attic courtyard outside the city.

Nangong Zhe, wearing his pajamas, still looked lazy. He was discussing the city's political affairs with a group of Nangong family's staff and guests in the main hall.

"Second Young Master, the biggest crisis right now is the issue of spirit stones."

A bearded man in a purple robe cupped his hands and said worriedly, "Over the past six months, the Eastern Region Divine King and the Southern Barbarian Demon Lord have been at odds with each other, frequently deploying troops on the border. This has already increased taxes on the cultivation cities under their command by over 30%."

Frowning.

The bearded monk pondered, "After deducting necessary expenses and budget, the city's spiritual stone inventory has already reached its limit. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause endless disasters!"

"Spirit Stone, Spirit Stone again..."

Drooping eyelids.

Nangong Zhe looked absent-minded and gritted his teeth impatiently, "Could it be that without the spirit stones, those guys from the Eastern Region Divine Court won't fight?"

As soon as these words came out.

All the staff and guests were shocked.

"Second Young Master, you can't say such things carelessly..."

Sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

The bearded man quickly whispered, "His Majesty the Divine King is the co-lord of the Eastern Territory. He has great connections. If he were to hear such outrageous words, the entire Haoqi City would be uprooted. The loss would outweigh the gain!"

The God King is easily angered and blood flows for thousands of miles.

As the top ruler of the Three Realms and Four Continents, Haoqi City and the Nangong Family are nothing more than retainers in his eyes, nothing big at all.

If you anger him, it will be easy to destroy the entire Nangong family.

At worst, we can just support a new puppet.

"Master Yang is worrying too much."

Support your chin with one hand.

Nangong Zhe didn't take it to heart at all. He shook his head with a cold look and said, "I was just complaining. The Lord God King is so high and mighty, how could he have such a broad mind as someone like me..."

He understands the truth.

But now.

Nangong Zhe was completely focused on the fight for the throne and had no time to pay attention to other government affairs.

after all.

If I can't get the inheritance rights of the city lord, what's the point of doing these things.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Yang Zhushi pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, since the Second Young Master is now in charge of the city's affairs, he should take the safety and well-being of Haoqi City as his own responsibility..."

There was a pause.

Yang, the head of the organization, mustered up his courage and spoke frankly, "Ultimately, it's because the taxes paid by the Lingyun Peak mining area failed to meet the standards. I heard that the Second Young Master not only failed to hold them accountable, but also allowed them to leave Haoqi City."

"I have to say, this approach is really a bit too frivolous!"

As soon as these words came out.

All the staff and guests were silent and looked at Nangong Zhe on the podium.

His eyes became evil.

Nangong Zhe gritted his teeth secretly, wishing he could tear the bearded man in the hall into pieces immediately to vent his anger.

But he also knew that he was only managing government affairs on behalf of others and was still a long way from holding real power.

Old ministers like Yang Zhushi are already highly respected in the city.

If I force him to do it, I'm afraid he will immediately be criticized by everyone.

By that time.

It's a small matter if people are in panic, but it's a big matter if it gives the eldest and the third brother an excuse to accuse them.

After thinking it over, I had no choice but to swallow my anger for the time being.

"Oh, I'm a little tired..."

Yawned.

Nangong Zhe drooped his eyelids, flicked his sleeves and said, "What important matters do you have? Let's discuss it in the evening."

Get up slowly.

Faced with this group of determined old stubborn people, Nangong Zhe just wanted to leave quickly.

But it didn't come true.

His own men hurriedly approached and whispered something in his ear.

It immediately made his eyes light up.

"Really?" Nangong Zhe asked.

“Absolutely true”

The subordinate nodded rapidly and said softly, "The person is waiting outside the door..."
