Chapter 879
This time, Empress Dowager Liu didn't hesitate. A large number of immortal experts rushed over and surrounded half of the city.
When the soldiers of Fanghua City saw the Spirit Cultivator flying in the sky, they were so shocked that they almost sat on the ground. They immediately turned around and ran into the city to report.
The city gate was forcefully closed, and the barrier was opened immediately. A few Spirit Cultivator who came to join the fun looked from afar, and saw that these people were all from the Zi Yue Immortal Kingdom. There were tens of thousands of them, and their cultivation were all astonishing, giving them a fright.
What was the Zi Yue Immortal Kingdom trying to do?
Could it be … They finally couldn't hold it in anymore and planned to swallow Fang Hua City?
The originally silent Fanghua City immediately became restless, like a pot of boiling water. The people within the city wanted to leave, but the barrier had already been opened, making it difficult to leave the city.
The soldiers within the city all flew up into the air and stood on the city walls. They drew their swords and sabers and fought against the people of the Zi Yue Immortal Country who were closing in on them.
Although there weren't many Immortals, only tens of thousands. Compared to the vast Fang Hua Valley, the number of people was more than ten times less. However … The strength of the Kingdom of Zi Yue didn't come from their numbers, but from their strengths. These experts of the Kingdom of Zi Yue were mostly existences of the Spirit Emperor, and with just a wave of their hands, they could destroy the world. With such a large amount of power gathered together, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they had razed Fang Hua City to the ground.
"What is the purpose of sealing the city gates? Quick, open the city! I want to find someone! "
Empress Dowager Liu flew out and shouted towards the city.
"We'll go find people when we can, why did we bring so many people?" Empress Dowager Liu! From what I see, you don't seem to be looking for someone; instead, you seem to be causing trouble! "
At this time, a clear and bright voice drifted out from within the city.
Everyone looked up and saw a handsome young man wearing a white robe flying out.
This life was especially beautiful, with a noble temperament. His face was like a knife cutting through the head, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit. How could he be so handsome? But what was even more surprising was that this person's cultivation base couldn't be seen through. Furthermore, flying out of the city meant that he couldn't feel a single bit of his aura. He'd already achieved a level of concealment that even an expert like Empress Dowager Liu couldn't detect.
"Yi Junlang!"
Empress Dowager Liu spoke in a low voice.
"Empress Dowager Liu is in a good mood to actually come to my little Fanghua City. Welcome, but …" I have a low wall in this city… I'm afraid that we won't be able to entertain so many people from the Kingdom of Zi Yue. "
Yi Junlang said blandly as he looked at the crowd of immortal experts in front of him.
With such a strong force of support and ill intentions, Yi Junlang rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
"I don't have the mood to be a guest here. I'm here to ask for people. If you know what's good for you, then hand them over to me!"
Empress Dowager Liu scoffed.
"Human? Who do you want? " Yi Junlang was stunned.
"My granddaughter's junior sister is an esteemed guest of my celestial country. I've heard that she was chased by people to escape to Fanghua City, but there has been no news of her. Tell me, did you detain them?"
Empress Dowager Liu scoffed.
Hearing that, Yi Junlang laughed lightly, "Empress Dowager Liu's words are laughable. Firstly, I have no enmity with your Zi Yue Kingdom, and I don't even know these two. Why are they being held captive?" Secondly, I don't even know that these two have come to my Flowerflower City, so why would I want to detain them? Empress Dowager Liu, to think that you're even the empress dowager of a nation, speaking in such a senseless manner? "Everything is based on evidence. If you cannot produce evidence, then you will be slandering me."
"Defamation? Heh, I don't have any evidence, but I want to search the city! If I am indeed not there after my search, then it can be considered as my slander. "
Empress Dowager Liu said.
"This Fang Hua City is already my place, how can someone casually search my place? If word of this gets out, how will I, Yi Junlang, be able to establish myself in the boundless universe? " Yi Junlang shook his head, obviously unwilling to agree with Empress Dowager Liu's request.
"Yi Junlang, saying this makes you feel guilty. Could it be that you've really detained the two of them?"
"It looks like you're determined to search my Fanghua City, Empress Dowager Liu."
"I will only look for someone. If I don't find these two people, I will immediately take my men and leave. I will not stay any longer. In addition, I will personally apologize to you, Sir Yi Junlang!" What do you think? " Empress Dowager Liu spoke indifferently.
"Oh?" Yi Junlang frowned slightly. He didn't think that Empress Dowager Liu had come here today to cause trouble, but to search Fanghua City on purpose.
He thought for a moment, then turned his head to ask the man beside him, and said: "Are there any people from the Zi Yue Kingdom today?"
"This… Lord, there are too many people in Fanghua City, we… I'm afraid we don't know either. "
The person beside him said with a troubled expression.
"That's true."
Yi Junlang nodded his head and spoke loudly, "Fine then. Since Empress Dowager Liu has said so, if I refuse, it will make me feel guilty. I am not afraid, but Empress Dowager Liu, if you don't find the person you're looking for …" I don't need you to apologize, you only need to give me the Purple Heart Jade from your Kingdom of Zi Yue, how about it? "
With that, Yi Junlang stared fixedly at Empress Dowager Liu.
He had been spying on this treasure the entire time, and even in his dreams, he would have dreamed of obtaining it.
He thought that Empress Dowager Liu would hesitate for a moment, but she unexpectedly agreed. "Alright!"
When he heard this, he had a bad feeling.
Right now, he was certain that Empress Dowager Liu had come to find someone. The reason she was putting on such a front was to find a way to break through.
With so many people watching, Yi Junlang didn't dare to return. He waved his hand and shouted in a low voice, "Open the barrier and let them into the city."
"Mayor."
"Lord …" "This …"
Everyone felt that something was wrong.
Yi Junlang snorted coldly, "Don't worry, the Kingdom of Zi Yue won't do anything to us. This is my place. With so few people, Empress Dowager Liu won't be able to spread the word. If they dare act recklessly, I'll make sure they die here."
Since Yi Junlang had already spoken, there was no point in rebutting.
"Open the gate!"
"Put away the barrier."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Soon.
The enchantment around Fanghua City dissipated and the city gate creaked open.
"Enter the city."
Empress Dowager Liu shouted.
"Hold on!"
Yi Junlang shouted from above, "You can only send half of your men into the city while the rest wait outside."
Empress Dowager Liu frowned when she heard this, but didn't say anything in the end. She only nodded towards the people beside her before leading them in.
Half of the immortal country's experts gathered outside, while the rest entered the city one by one.
The Spirit Cultivator in the city gathered in groups of twos and threes, all discussing as they watched Empress Dowager Liu walk in.
Empress Dowager Liu naturally ignored these spectators. This was Yi Junlang's territory after all, so she couldn't help but get angry. If this were in the Kingdom of Zi Yue, no matter where people from, they would have to bow when they saw the empress dowager.
"Disperse and use the magic treasure to investigate. Even if these two people are not here, they would definitely leave behind traces. Quickly go!"
Empress Dowager Liu spoke in a low voice to the people beside her.
"Yes, Majesty!"
Everyone cupped their fists and spread out like a fishing net as they began to investigate the entirety of Fanghua Valley.
These immortal country experts moved very quickly and in an orderly manner.
Yi Junlang stood atop the city walls, watching the uninvited guests with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Mayor, are we just going to let them mess around?"
Someone beside him asked in a low voice.
"Hu Li?"
Yi Junlang sneered, "How can we make them act so rashly?" I just want to see who Empress Dowager Liu is looking for, or rather, what kind of thing! "
"City Lord, your words are …"
"Don't you understand? Didn't you all see who exactly is coming? "
"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other. None of them understood what Yi Junlang was saying.
However, Wen Yi spoke up again, "A bunch of useless bumpkins, are you still unable to find any clues? Don't you know who Empress Dowager Liu is? Who knew when she would die? Empress Dowager Liu had already taken control of the entire Kingdom of Zi Yue, but how could such a powerful and powerful person, for the sake of one of his granddaughter's junior sisters, bring along so many immortal experts? And he came personally? Do you think it's necessary? "So she's just looking for someone to use as a pretense. She must have other motives."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly came to a realization.
"How laughable that Empress Dowager Liu took me, a citizen of a city, for a fool, and even swaggered in …" "Hehe, since she wants to look for it, then let her find it!" Yi Junlang leaned his head forward and said in a low voice, "Gather our men and gather in the dark. Wait for my order!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Everyone immediately withdrew.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager Liu, oh, Esteemed Empress Dowager Liu, I really want to see for myself why you've come to my Fanghua City this time." Yi Junlang took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth curving up into a strange smile.
The entire Fang Hua City was in an uproar, Shangguan Mei Yang and Su Qing'er who were hiding in the inn naturally did not notice anything.
Shangguan Mei Yang sneaked out of the window and felt the air coming from the city gate. It was Empress Dowager Liu's air.
Although she knew Empress Dowager Liu would send people to Fanghua City, she never would have thought that she'd lead people swaggering into Fanghua City. According to her plans, the city lord wouldn't let her in.
The current situation far exceeded her expectations.
"Master, they've already arrived. We can't stay here any longer, we need to leave quickly."
Su Yun said softly, the current her was much better than before, his face was flushed red and his voice was no longer as weak as before.
"Don't panic!"
Shangguan Mei Yang said in a low voice: "I've calculated and estimated that we still have about half a day before mother arrives. At that time, we will definitely be out of danger."
Given the current situation, he could only take things one step at a time and try his best to gain time.
