Chapter 2012: The City Lord's Invitation

Wuxian City is different from other immortal cultivation cities. It is governed by the City Lord's Mansion. Its scale looks like that of an imperial dynasty in the mortal world, and it is guarded by guards.

When the carriage stopped, someone came forward to greet them. The lowest level of cultivation was at the initial stage of the Spiritualization.

Li Feng and Tie Xiazi got off the carriage one after another, and Ye Chunyang followed them.

"Fellow Daoist Chang, this is my City Lord's Mansion. My father has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. Fellow Daoist, please follow me." Li Feng said with a smile. His words seemed peaceful, but there was a hint of refusal.

Ye Chunyang looked around the mansion, and then looked at Tie Xiazi. The latter smiled and waved his hand to invite him.

Ye Chunyang also wanted to see why the city lord summoned him, so he did not refuse and went into the mansion with Li Feng.

When they arrived at the hall, a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament stood with his back to the door. He felt the three people coming and looked back.

The middle-aged man also had a head full of white hair, and his eyebrows were full of majesty. With such a demeanor, people could already guess his identity.

Obviously, this person was Li Wuying, the city lord of Wuxian City.

"Meet my father."

"Meet the city lord."

Li Feng and Tie Xiazi said at the same time.

Ye Chunyang took a quick look at the middle-aged man and saw that his aura was like an abyss, and his body was full of mystery that blended with the nature of heaven and earth. His divine sense probed him, but he received no response at all.

Feeling this scene, Ye Chunyang's heart could not help but shudder.

He had only felt this kind of abnormality on Zheng Dianfeng so far, which showed that this city lord was at the same level as Zheng Dianfeng.

Li Wuying glanced at Li Feng and Tie Xiazi, waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to greet each other, and then looked at Ye Chunyang, "This is Fellow Daoist Chang Mo, right? Elder Tie had spoken highly of you before."

Ye Chunyang bowed his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Tie Wu is too kind."

"Fellow Daoist Chang, don't be modest. Elder Tie has already told me about your affairs. I also know a little about Wu Lingzi. He is a well-known master at the level of returning to the void, but Fellow Daoist Chang was able to kill him in a snap of a finger. There are also Yan Qiuxue and Master Buyi. These two are famous in both the Demonic Path and the Buddhist Sect. They all died in your hands, which shows that your magical powers are far beyond the superficial realm." Li Wuying smiled lightly, looking at Ye Chunyang with a meaningful look.

Ye Chunyang's face changed slightly.

The other party's implication was that he had seen through most of his details. The cultivators in the late stage of fusion were indeed amazingly powerful.

"It was a fluke that I was able to defeat the three people. It was thanks to the help of Fellow Daoist Tie that day, otherwise I would have had difficulty fighting them." Ye Chunyang said calmly.

Although his words were meant to hide his own intentions, they were also three-tenths true. Moreover, Tie Wu was also present at the event that day, so anyone who heard it would be credible.

Li Wuying smiled upon hearing this, and did not intend to delve into it further. Instead, he said, "Fellow Daoist Chang, do you know the purpose of my asking Elder Tie and Li Feng to invite you here?"

Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, and he said, "From what Brother Tie and the young city lord said, it seems that the city lord has something to tell me. I am also very curious about this. Can the city lord tell me the details?"

"Haha, I heard from Elder Tie that Fellow Daoist Chang is meticulous, and it seems to be true." Li Wuying suddenly laughed, and looked at Ye Chunyang with a hint of interest. The latter's words just now were flawless.

Ye Chunyang did not comment on this.

The purpose of the other party inviting him here is still unknown, so how can he not be reserved.

"Fellow Daoist Chang, you don't have to be so reserved, please sit down!" As if seeing the vigilance in Ye Chunyang's heart, he waved his hand calmly and said.

Ye Chunyang was not polite either, and then sat down next to Tie Xiazi.

Li Wuying took a sip of tea, but did not say much, but turned his eyes to Li Feng on the other side and said: "Feng'er, this matter is mainly up to you, so you should talk to Fellow Daoist Chang in person."

"Yes, father." Li Feng nodded.

Ye Chunyang looked at the father and son in surprise.

At this time, Li Feng walked forward with a chuckle and smiled at him: "I am presumptuous to invite Fellow Daoist Chang to the City Lord's Mansion, but I actually want to ask you to help subdue a monster."

"Subdue the monster?" Ye Chunyang frowned in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Tie Xiazi in confusion.

The latter smiled lightly and motioned him to listen to Li Feng finish his words.

"What kind of monster does the young city lord want me to help subdue? Why don't you tell me?" Ye Chunyang asked. After all, he and Li Wuying and his son only met for the first time, and he was not interested in helping them.

But Li Feng's next words made Ye Chunyang's heart move.

"I wonder if you have heard of the Thunder Cloud Pool?" Li Feng said.

Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows.

He was planning to go to the Thunder Cloud Pool recently, and he got accurate information from Lin Yan'er. How could he not know about this place?

But what did Li Feng mean by mentioning the Thunder Cloud Pool?

Ye Chunyang was silent for a while, and nodded: "I have heard a little about it."

Li Feng looked directly at Ye Chunyang, his expression was slightly deep, as if he wanted to see something from his eyes, but soon returned to normal, saying: "To be honest, the Thunder Cloud Pool is an ancient wonderland in the Western Regions, which can condense Thunder Cloud Crystals. Many people are eyeing it covetously."

"The young city lord also wants to get the Thunder Cloud Crystals from the Thunder Cloud Pool?" Ye Chunyang replied with a smile.

He was surprised that the other party actually mentioned the Thunder Cloud Pond and Thunder Cloud Crystal.

"I have no interest in Thunder Cloud Crystal." Li Feng shook his head.

"What does the young city lord mean?"

Li Feng smiled and said, "I heard that an ancient monster bird appeared near the Thunder Cloud Pond recently. I am interested in this monster. I heard that Daoyou Chang has the power to fight against the sixth-level upper-level black dragon. I admire this very much, so I want to ask Daoyou to help subdue it. I wonder if you are willing to help?"

"Young City Lord wants to deal with that monster bird?" Ye Chunyang's expression was slightly condensed. He had heard Lin Yan'er talk about the monster bird before, but he didn't expect Li Feng's purpose to be here.

"Yes." Li Feng nodded and said, "To be honest with Daoyou, I plan to refine a furnace of elixirs recently. The essence and blood of this monster is the key, but the evil beast has reached the sixth-level upper level. I can't deal with it alone. If Daoyou can help, and with Elder Tie, we will surely win this time."

Ye Chunyang frowned, and did not answer in a hurry, but turned his eyes to look at Li Wuying in front of him.

Li Wuying sat upright, sipping the fragrant tea calmly, without any intention of speaking.

Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered a few times, and he said: "I heard from the young city lord that the demon bird is quite powerful, but with the cultivation of the city lord, it can be easily subdued, right?"

He didn't believe that the other party really invited him out of admiration for his magical powers. Even if the demon bird was strong, with Li Wuying's late fusion cultivation, what could stop it?

The latter only needed to make a move to easily subdue it.

Hearing his words, Li Feng's face changed obviously, but he suddenly fell silent.

Li Wuying also frowned and didn't speak.

From the expressions of the father and son, Ye Chunyang felt a strange atmosphere, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

No one spoke, and the hall became quiet for a while.

After a while, Li Wuying put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Ye Chunyang, sighed and said: "Since Fellow Daoist Chang asked so, I will tell you the truth!"

"Fellow Daoist Chang, do you know why there are so many people who are not tolerated by the world gathered in Wuxian City, but they can live safely until now?"

Li Wuying asked.

Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered slightly, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Is it because of the fog barrier on Mount Tiantai? But what does this have to do with the young city lord's subjugation of the ancient monster bird?"

The fog barrier on Mount Tiantai is the nemesis of many cultivators. The ancient restrictions inside have caused countless people to fall here. It is precisely because of the existence of this fog barrier that those ruthless people who were chased and had no way to escape can survive after coming here.

"What Fellow Daoist Chang said is both right and wrong."

Li Wuying smiled mysteriously and said, "The reason why Wuxian City can stand firm in the Western Regions is of course because it is protected by the fog barrier of Tiantai Mountain, but the real reason is because of Li himself."

Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed with suspicion, "Please let the city lord explain."

"Fellow Daoist Chang doesn't know that there are countless invisible arrays in Wuxian City. It is precisely because of the existence of these arrays that Wuxian City can avoid invasion by outsiders." Before Li Wuying spoke, Li Feng interrupted and said, "But these invisible arrays are closely related to my father and must be maintained by him personally. Once my father leaves the city, these arrays will lose their effect."

"So that's it!" Ye Chunyang suddenly realized.

At the same time, he couldn't help being shocked.

What kind of terrible power should a array that needs a late-stage fusion cultivator to maintain contain?

But after listening to Li Feng's words, he understood why Li Wuying couldn't personally deal with the monster bird. Once he left Wuxian City, he didn't know what kind of changes would happen here.

Li Wuying sighed and said, "I can't leave the city, so I can't help Feng'er subdue the monster bird. It just so happens that Elder Tie came back and told us about you, so I can only ask you to do this."

As if worried that Ye Chunyang would refuse, Li Wuying said immediately after saying this: "You don't have to hesitate, you. This trip is risky, but if it succeeds, it will be very beneficial to you. First, the monster bird has been practicing in the Thunder Cloud Pool for a long time, and its inner elixir has produced the aura of black thunder. If it can be refined, it will be a great help for cultivators who practice thunder attributes to improve their cultivation. I heard that you have cultivated a set of flying swords with the power of heavenly thunder, so I think you will be tempted by this, right?"

Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.

Li Wuying smiled faintly and continued: "Daoyou can fight against Mo Jiao alone, and even kill three opponents of the same level in succession, which shows that your cultivation is extraordinary. If you can help my son subdue the monster bird this time, not only can you get its inner elixir, but my City Lord Mansion will also give you another reward."

"Of course, if Daoyou Chang has other concerns, then today's words will be regarded as something I have never said."
