The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

In the distant sky, a hint of white quietly emerged, as if the gods gently lifted the curtain of night.

The sea was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the ever-changing colors of the sky.

A breeze blew by, and ripples appeared on the sea surface. The golden light broke and reassembled in these ripples, like a dream.

On the coast, the ancient reefs have been baptized by the years and appear more vicissitudes and mysterious in the morning light.

In the city, tall towers and ancient buildings are scattered around.

The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, surrounding these buildings and adding a hazy veil to them.

Occasionally, the clear chirping of birds breaks the silence, as if announcing to the world the beginning of a new day.

On the sea in the distance, strange sea beasts jumped out of the water from time to time, emitting mysterious light and disappearing into the deep sea in an instant.

The entire coastal city was immersed in this quiet and mysterious morning.

Nanshui City, City Lord’s Mansion!

"Whoo~"

"Successful breakthrough to the late stage of Danhua!"

Inside the Jiuxuan Star Tower, a young man in a blue robe who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion opened his eyes, exhaled a puff of foul air, and said with a smile.

There was a hint of joy and satisfaction in his voice, and he was obviously very satisfied with his breakthrough.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that you haven't slacked off in your training in the past few months since returning from the military camp."

Xiaota appeared in the wooden house and said with a smile. He looked at the blue-robed young man in front of him, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

"Without the power to crush everything, how dare I slack off?"

Hearing Xiaota's words, Zhang Chentian shook his head and said, "He knew that in this world, only by constantly improving his own strength can he protect himself and those around him."

Therefore, he has never dared to relax at all and has always remained highly vigilant and focused.

"That's true, but with your current cultivation level at the late stage of Danhua, coupled with the soul secrets I gave you, even cultivators at the early stage of the Spiritual Realm might not be your match."

After hearing Zhang Chentian's words, Xiaota nodded and said.

It has full confidence in Zhang Chentian's strength. After all, it watched him grow.

"With the blessing of the Ice Divine Art and the initial level of Ice Sword Intent, I am not afraid even of a cultivator in the initial stage of the Spiritual Realm who has comprehended the realm of intention!"

Zhang Chentian clenched his fists, feeling the powerful force after the breakthrough in his body, with a confident light flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements and then go to the Royal City!"

He turned and walked out of the cabin, his heart full of anticipation.

Before leaving, he needs to be fully prepared to make sure everything goes smoothly.

When he walked out of the house, Xiaobai appeared in the room with a thought.

As it walked out of the room, it transformed into a huge white tiger with its broad wings spread out.

With a whistling sound, Xiaobai spread his wings like a gust of wind and ran towards the sea.

The cultivators in the city also knew that Xiaobai was Zhang Chentian’s spirit beast, so no accidents would occur.

The area on the edge of the Star Sea is relatively calm, and the strength of both the cultivators and the monsters is not too strong.

This time Xiaobai is traveling just to find food, which won't take too long. With Xiaobai's strength, he shouldn't encounter too much danger.

Looking at Xiaobai's receding back, Zhang Chentian's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

He turned and walked towards Lingyun Palace with steady and firm steps.

Along the way, Zhang Chentian's eyes were drawn to the martial arts training ground when he passed by it.

He saw the city defense team training enthusiastically on the field. Their uniform movements and focused expressions made him feel very gratified.

These city defense team members have only been formed for two months, but they are gradually taking shape.

Zhang Chentian carefully observed their training and nodded secretly in his heart.

The skills of formations and phalanxes that he taught to Blue Star have now been basically mastered by them.

"We have met the City Lord!"

Suddenly, a loud voice rang out.

Zhang Chentian looked up and saw the city defense team leader Zhang Yajun leading a group of team members to salute him.

Their eyes were full of respect and loyalty, and they clearly had full trust in the young city lord.

Zhang Yajun is a leader in the city defense team, with the cultivation level of the late Qi Condensation stage.

In the previous competition, he stood out with his outstanding performance and was successfully elected as the leader of the city defense team.

There are very few Condensation Realm cultivators in Nanshui City, and no Condensation Realm cultivator has come to participate in the selection of the city defense team.

"Well, you guys continue training. The safety of Nanshui City needs you to protect it!"

Zhang Chentian looked at the city defense team who saluted him and spoke with a firm look in his eyes, his tone full of expectations and trust in them.

The city defense team members straightened their chests, their eyes revealing perseverance and determination, expressing their willingness to give everything for the peace of Nanshui City.

Zhang Chentian nodded with satisfaction, encouraged them to keep working hard, then turned and walked towards Lingyun Hall.

Lingyun Hall is the seat of the highest authority in Nanshui City and one of the core buildings in Nanshui City.

When Zhang Chentian arrived at Lingyun Hall, the two guards at the door immediately saluted him respectfully:

"I've met the city lord!"

Zhang Chentian responded with a smile:

"Well, thank you for your hard work!"

Then he stepped over the threshold and walked into the spacious and solemn hall of Lingyun Palace.

The hall is decorated in a simple and elegant style, with exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, highlighting the cultural heritage of Nanshui City.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge desk. Zhang Zongmao is sitting at the desk, writing something attentively.

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Zongmao looked up and saw that it was Zhang Chentian. He quickly stood up to greet him:

"City Lord, you are here."

Zhang Chentian walked to Zhang Zongmao, sat down and said helplessly:

"Uncle Jiu, I've told you many times, just call me Chentian."

"How can that be? This is the rule, how can we break it?"

Zhang Zongmao shook his head and said.

"Okay, Uncle Nine, let's discuss our own matters. By the way, where is Ao Feng?"

Zhang Zongmao replied:

"He's in the Law Enforcement Hall. Is there something wrong? I'll go get him right away."

Zhang Chentian nodded:

"There are some things I want to tell you."

Zhang Zongmao immediately sent someone to the Law Enforcement Hall to inform Ao Feng and ask him to come as soon as possible.

After a while, Ao Feng hurried to Lingyun Hall. After bowing to Zhang Chentian, he said with a smile:

"Is there anything wrong, Chentian? I'm still sorting out those people from the law enforcement team."

Zhang Chentian looked at Zhang Zongmao and Ao Feng, took a deep breath, and began to tell what he wanted to say:

"Ao Feng, Uncle Nine, I'm going to be away from Nanshui City for a while, maybe half a year at the shortest, or a year at the longest. During this time, I'll leave this place to you to manage."

"I've written down the development plan for the city's commercial district and placed it on the table in my room. You can just pick it up when the time comes."
