Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Zhan Taisu did not know the identities of these people, but he guessed that they might be spies sent by other empires. However, Zhan Taisu did not care about such things.

In his view, the Zhan family had made so many contributions to the Chuyun Empire, but the Sikou family had betrayed them in the end. Not only did they not reward the Zhan family, they also demoted them to such a godforsaken place. Zhan Taisu had long held a grudge against the Sikou family, so no matter what their purpose was, as long as they did not harm the Zhan family, Zhan Taisu did not care.

On the contrary, he even harbored a sliver of hope that this group could inflict enormous damage on the Yun Empire. Only in this way could Tantai Su find a sense of satisfaction in taking revenge on the Sikou family.

"Get out of the way!"

Soon, Zhan Taisu arrived at the place in Zhan Yuncheng where the notice was posted. He ordered his men to push aside the crowd in front of him and then ordered someone to post a notice on it.

After doing all this, Zhan Taisu turned around, looking at the crowd around him with a smug expression, and said, "Everyone, open your eyes wide and read this notice carefully. From now on, Zhan Yuncheng will be under lockdown for three days. No one is allowed to leave without authorization. Otherwise, they will be punished for treason, and their entire family will be beheaded. Do you all understand?"

The crowd around them looked rather grim upon hearing Zhan Taisu's words.

"This... Lord Zhan, our whole family relies on going out of the city to dig up some medicinal herbs to sell in order to make a living. If you close the city for three days, our income will be cut off." An elderly man with gray hair looked at Zhan Taisu tremblingly.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Zhan Taisu glared at him fiercely and roared, "What, do you have a problem with me? Things aren't peaceful outside right now. There are spies who have infiltrated our Zhanyun City, so closing the city for three days is for everyone's safety, right?"

"Besides, it's only three days, what's the big deal? Just bear with it and it will pass."

After Zhan Taisu finished speaking, he turned to leave.

"Lord Zhan, Lord Zhan, please wait a moment!" A fat man dressed in expensive clothes squeezed out from the crowd and shouted loudly to Zhan Taisu.

"what happened again!?"

Zhan Taisu turned around impatiently and glared at the wealthy businessman with a sharp look in his eyes.

When the wealthy merchant saw Zhan Taisu's gaze, he put on a fawning expression and tried to get closer to Zhan Taisu, but was stopped by the guards beside him.

"this......"

The wealthy merchant looked pleadingly at Zhan Taisu, who waved his hand, and the two guards released the merchant, but still kept a wary eye on him.

"My lord, I am in the business of trading medicinal herbs. I just happened to be in Zhanyun City today to reorganize things. A lot of the things in the caravan won't last long. I wonder if you could make an exception and let my caravan leave the city?"

After the wealthy merchant finished speaking, he subtly took out a bag from his pocket, intending to hand it to Zhan Taisu discreetly. Unfortunately, with so many people watching, no matter how discreet his actions were, it was just burying his head in the sand.

Zhan Taisu took the bag from the wealthy businessman, weighed it in his hand, then smiled and said, "Not bad, you..."

"no!"

Before Zhan Taisu could finish speaking, a guard in gray clothes standing beside him interrupted him, then looked at Zhan Taisu and said with a serious expression, "Sir, this matter is of great importance. From this moment on, no one can be allowed to leave."

"this......"

Zhan Taisu tossed the bag in his hand, then glanced at the serious-looking guard. Seeing that the guard was unwilling to budge, his face darkened. In the end, he could only snort and throw the bag back to the wealthy merchant: "No, I have already said that this matter is of great importance. From this moment on, Zhan Yun City will be under lockdown for three days. No one is allowed to disobey."

After speaking, Zhan Taisu waved his hand and then walked back the way he came with an icy expression.

Amidst the crowd, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun watched Zhan Taisu gradually disappear into the distance. They glanced at the guard who had interrupted Zhan Taisu earlier and whispered, "The city has already begun to be sealed off. It seems the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is about to make its move."

"That's right, but we don't know what their so-called source of poison is, and we haven't found any unfamiliar powerful figures entering Zhanyun City yet."

"Let's wait and see. Since the city has been locked down today, it means their operation is about to begin. They might start tonight. We'll have to be extra careful then."

The lockdown order issued by Zhan Taisu quickly spread throughout Zhanyun City. Although everyone was furious, Zhan Taisu made the matter sound so serious, and since the lockdown was only for three days, although people had many complaints, no major chaos was caused.

As time passed, Zhan Yuncheng was gradually enveloped by night, the daytime hustle and bustle disappeared, and it fell into silence.

.....

Meanwhile, in the Yunlan Sect of the Jiama Empire.

The morale of the Yunlan Sect has been very high recently. Although the previous sect leader, Yun Yun, has left the Yunlan Sect, the current sect leader is a Dou Zong powerhouse. Although he was defeated by Medusa, he is still the number one powerhouse among humans.

Therefore, everyone has even higher expectations for the future of the Yunlan Sect.

Within the forbidden area of ​​the Yunlan Sect's back mountain, a series of violent fluctuations suddenly emanated, quickly attracting the attention of all the Yunlan Sect disciples.

That's... the direction of the Gate of Life and Death.

"The Gate of Life and Death... Could it be that Junior Sister Yanran has emerged from seclusion?"

Many disciples of the Yunlan Sect looked at the direction from which the fluctuations originated with delighted expressions, and even some elders were quite surprised.

"The Gate of Life and Death..."

Yunshan appeared in mid-air, looking at the portal from which the fluctuations were emanating. His tone carried a hint of surprise. As the head of a sect, Yunshan was naturally well aware of the difficulty of the Gate of Life and Death. He also knew that Yunyun had a disciple who had entered the Gate of Life and Death, but he did not expect that the disciple would be able to successfully break through the trials of the Gate of Life and Death.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a blurry figure gradually stepped out from within the Gate of Life and Death...
