Chapter 246 Zihua City

The three chatted for two hours, and it was already light outside.

Xiahou Dun, Pang De, Wu Wei, Granny Hua and others all came out of the room and prepared outside the inn.

The carriage and four horses placed in the backyard of the inn were all led out.

When the four people were ready, Lu Fan walked out of the inn with An Lan and Lu Wushuang.

"Let's go, let's go!"

With Lu Fan's order, the group of eight continued to set off.

The reason why there were eight people was that in addition to Lu Fan and others, there was also a groom, who was a member of the Xuanwu Guard arranged by Zhang Qi.

But this guy was very sensible. He didn't talk at all except driving the carriage along the way, and he was also tactful not to follow Lu Fan and others.

So this guy didn't have much presence in the team, and Lu Fan and others didn't care.

There was no trouble along the way.

This made Lu Fan secretly wonder why the Holy Church was silent again?

After all, on the way back to Hanyang City from Beimang Pass, he killed a Saint Church Refining God Realm expert.

Logically, the Saint Church must be extremely angry and retaliate immediately.

And the Saint Church's intelligence system is very powerful.

The news that he led people to leave Hanyang City could not be hidden from them, but why didn't they take any action?

He couldn't figure this out.

Could it be that the Saint Church felt that it was difficult to deal with, so it chose to stop?

This guess was denied by him as soon as it came up.

Although he only offended the Chiyang Saint Church, the weakest of the three major Saint Church branches in Dongsheng Shenzhou, it was still a behemoth compared to Daqian.

How could such a powerful force be afraid of him?

Maybe the other party was secretly plotting something and planned to kill him with one blow.

After all, he had destroyed the other party's plans one after another and caused the other party to lose a large number of strong men.

This was an absolute life-and-death hatred.

If it were him, he would fight to the death with the enemy, not to mention the Red Sun Holy Sect.

At about noon, a city appeared in front of Lu Fan and his party, with three big characters on the city gate.

Zihua City!

Zihua City is the city built and controlled by Zihua City, and it is also one of the most prosperous and lively cities in Daqian.

Not only did the Zihua Sect build and control a city, but the other nine first-class forces, the eight great families, and some small and medium-sized forces also built cities.

It's just that the cities built by these forces are large and small, and the degree of prosperity varies.

The purpose of building a city is also very simple, which is to earn resources steadily.

After all, for the major forces, whether it is searching for resources in various places or digging some mineral veins, it is not a stable source of sources.

But building a city is different.

Not only can it earn resources continuously, but it is also easy to attract fresh blood, especially some cultivation geniuses.

Because of this, the major forces firmly control the cities they built.

Although the cities built by the major forces also have city lords' mansions, and the city lords and guards are also sent by the court.

However, the city lords and guards sent by the court are either bribed and corrupted or completely hollowed out, which is completely an empty shell, not to mention controlling the entire city.

The court is also very helpless about this.

A single force is easy to deal with, but there are too many forces involved in this matter.

As long as one of them is taken action, it will inevitably affect the whole body.

So in this case, they can only turn a blind eye, which is very aggrieved.

When these thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, Lu Fan also understood why his cheap father wanted to deal with these forces.

After all, as the master of Daqian, he was threatened by these forces. What a shame.

Not to mention that his cheap father couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear it even more.

Thinking of this, he exhaled lightly and said, "Go directly into the city."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiahou Dun and the other four rode horses to escort the carriage straight to the city gate.

There is no need to pay an entry fee to enter the city, and there is no extra inspection.

It was just that there were many civilians and monks coming in and out, so it was a little crowded.

After a while, Lu Fan and his party settled down in an inn in the center of the city.

Lu Fan did not go directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

After all, Zihua City is equivalent to one of the bases of Zihua Sect. The city lord of Zihua City is either sidelined or corrupted by Zihua Sect and becomes a running dog of Zihua Sect.

The second possibility is more likely.

It doesn't matter whether he is a running dog or not. It won't be too late to talk about it after controlling the entire Zihua Sect.

Anyway, he had already made up his mind that the top forces with names in Daqian must surrender and there is no other way to choose.

Not to mention these controlled cities.

He didn't care about what Daqian was like before, but he had to have the final say on how Daqian would go in the future.

To be precise, Daqian can only have one voice, and that is himself.

Soon the party settled down in the inn, and Xuanwuwei, Wu Wei, and Granny Hua, who acted as grooms, stayed in the inn.

If it was before, Wu Wei and Granny Hua would not dare to let Lu Wushuang and An Lan go out alone.

But now they are very relieved.

After all, they know clearly that Xiahou Dun and Pang De who followed Lu Fan are top masters.

Any one of them can easily kill them, let alone two people.

So it was not too safe for Lu Wushuang and An Lan to follow Lu Fan out, they didn't have to worry at all.

Lu Fan took Lu Wushuang, An Lan, Xiahou Dun and Pang De out of the inn and headed straight to the north of the city.

Although Zihua Sect controlled the entire Zihua City, it did not occupy the entire city, but only occupied an area in the north of the city as a base.

As for the other areas, they were all divided among various small and medium-sized forces, most of which were family forces.

These small and medium-sized family forces were all dependent on the existence of Zihua Sect, so they all lived in Zihua City.

Of course, they also had to pay a certain amount of resources to Zihua Sect every year, which was considered the cost of seeking shelter and renting land.

A large part of the shops in the city were also rented out or sold by Zihua Sect, which also earned a lot of resources.

Not only Zihua City did this, but also the cities of other forces.

At the same time, not charging an entry fee was also to attract civilians and monks to settle in the city, so that the city could be more prosperous and earn more resources.

For Zihua Sect, Zihua City is a treasure pot that earns resources continuously.

Therefore, the importance of Zihua City to Zihua Sect can be imagined.

Therefore, Zihua Sect specially set up a stronghold in an area in the north of the city and sent some sect masters to guard the safety of the entire Zihua City.

As for the Zihua Sect's old nest, it is located on Zihua Mountain, more than a thousand meters north of Zihua City.

And Lu Fan's plan is to first solve the stronghold in Zihua City, and then go to the Zihua Sect's old nest.

With this idea in mind, Lu Fan and his five companions came to a huge and luxurious mansion in the north of the city...
