The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

"This Nanshui City is indeed prosperous. Even the outer city has so many cultivators gathered there."

Xia Aofeng was walking in the outer city of Nanshui City, looking at the monks coming and going on the road, and said in surprise.

He couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity and bustle of the city. The streets were lined with various stalls, selling all sorts of low-level spiritual objects, magic weapons, and cultivation resources.

The monks shuttled back and forth, and the sounds of bargaining rose and fell, making the entire Nanshui City full of vitality and vigor.

"This is normal. Although Nanshui City is not a big city, it is the only coastal city in this area."

Zhang Chentian explained with a smile:

"Whether it's the monks on the mainland or the monks on the edge of the Star Sea, they all come here to hunt sea monsters or rest."

They continued to stroll through the streets of South Water City, feeling the unique atmosphere of the city.

The sea of ​​stars is boundless, with countless islands on it. No one knows how many mortals or monks there are there.

All we know is that even the Saint-level forces within the continent dare not provoke the forces deep within it.

"Hahaha, this is really great. I haven't seen so many spiritual creatures from the sea in my family before."

Zhang Yajun felt very fresh when he saw some spiritual objects specializing in various sea areas being sold by some vendors in the outer city.

These spiritual objects exude a strange aura, attracting the attention of many monks.

Although they are all first-level spiritual creatures, they are not easy to see in the inland.

Zhang Yajun and Zhang Yixiong walked forward excitedly and observed the spiritual objects carefully.

Some of them have strange shapes, and some are colorful, which makes people marvel.

However, they are basically first-level spiritual herbs like the shallow sea spirit pearl grass, which are of no use to them, just a novelty.

They curiously asked the stall owner about the origins and effects of these spiritual objects, and the stall owner answered his questions enthusiastically.

In Nanshui City, Zhang Yajun had a brand new experience.

Compared to them, Zhang Chentian seemed much calmer and composed. After all, he had been to the seaside in his previous life and was no stranger to the products of the sea.

"Uncle Thirty-Nine, Uncle Forty-One, stop looking. Let's hurry to the City Lord's Mansion."

Seeing Zhang Yixiong and Zhang Yajun looking around excitedly like children, Zhang Chentian reluctantly tried to persuade them.

"Okay! Ok!"

Hearing Zhang Chentian's urging, the two came to their senses and nodded hurriedly in response.

"Chentian, someone is watching you in secret!"

At this moment, Xiaota suddenly reminded Zhang Chentian.

"I know, but it doesn't matter. Let them be. Our presence here is no secret anyway."

Zhang Chentian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

In fact, he had long been aware of those hidden gazes in the dark, but had no intention of exposing it.

"Go and inform the Patriarch that Zhang Chentian has arrived."

"Return to Chaosheng Pavilion immediately and tell the Pavilion Master that King Xia's nephew, Xia Aofeng, has also arrived."

……

With the arrival of Zhang Chentian and others, many people from secret forces took action and began to pass the news of Zhang Chentian and others back to their respective organizations or families.

Then the five of them walked all the way to the Nanshui City Lord's Mansion, attracting a lot of people's attention along the way.

"Welcome, Lord Earl!" As soon as we arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, a group of people came up to greet us and shouted in unison.

At this time, almost all the senior leaders of all the second-level and above forces in Nanshui City were here to welcome them.

There was no way. Ever since the Zhang family had suppressed all the disobedient forces in the seven southwestern cities with thunder-like means some time ago, they had become very obedient and were afraid of being destroyed by the Zhang family.

"Well, let's go inside to discuss things!" Zhang Chentian said with a cold face.

Zhang Chentian naturally wouldn't be friendly towards these fence-sitters, but he wouldn't target them specifically either.

After all, the Zhang family doesn't have many people, and they are still responsible for most of the management and security of each city.

When you enter this magnificent city lord's mansion, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge vermilion gate.

Above the door hangs a gold-inlaid plaque with three large characters "City Lord's Mansion" inscribed on it. The writing is vigorous and powerful, revealing majesty.

As you enter the mansion, you will see a wide bluestone avenue leading straight to a magnificent main hall.

The main hall is named "Lingyun Hall". The roof is paved with golden glazed tiles, shining brightly in the sun.

The hall is spacious and bright, with a huge sandalwood table placed in the center, and behind it is an exquisitely carved city lord's throne with a high backrest inlaid with various gems.

"Damn, who was the previous Lord of Nanshui City? He was so arrogant! He really knows how to enjoy himself!"

Zhang Chentian looked at the exquisite palace in front of him with amazement and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But he remained calm on the surface, observing everything around him with an expressionless face.

When he walked to the center of the palace, his eyes fell on the magnificent city lord's throne.

This throne is obviously made of high-quality materials, with exquisite carvings, exuding an aura of majesty.

Zhang Chentian secretly admired in his heart:

"This throne is so majestic! It must be a great feeling to sit on it."

So, he sat on it without hesitation. After feeling the comfort and majesty of the throne, he nodded with satisfaction and looked at the people in the palace.

These people were all important figures in Nanshui City. They stood respectfully aside, waiting for instructions from their new master.

Zhang Chentian cleared his throat and said slowly:

"Everyone please sit down. My management style may be different from what you have seen before."

"If you have any suggestions about my management methods, you can always raise them. As long as they are reasonable, I will adopt them."

His voice was flat and firm, without any emotion.

"I will obey the Earl's orders!"

Everyone stood up and saluted Zhang Chentian.

"Don't call me Lord Earl. I am now the Lord of Nanshui City. From now on, you can call me Lord!"

"Yes! I will follow the city lord's orders!"

Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted again.

Zhang Chentian looked at the people in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

These people will become the elites of Nanshui City in the future, and their loyalty and ability will determine the future of this city.

He took a deep breath and said firmly:

"From today on, we must work together to make Nanshuicheng a prosperous and strong place."

“If you have any suggestions or ideas, please bring them up and we will discuss them together.”

Everyone nodded, expressing their willingness to fully support Zhang Chentian's leadership.

At this time, Zhang Chentian turned to look at the middle-aged man in a black robe and asked:

"Master Zhou, can you tell us about the problems encountered in the development of Nanshui City?"

This middle-aged man was Zhou Zhenyun, the patriarch of a third-rank family in Nanshui City. He was also a cultivator in the late Condensation Realm, and his strength ranked among the top five in the city.

Hearing Zhang Chentian's question, Zhou Zhenyun replied respectfully:

"I personally feel that the public security issues in South Water City are the most fatal!"
