The next day, the City Lord of White Cloud City brought his men over. The current City Lord of White Cloud City was no longer surnamed Xia, but a City Lord with the surname Bai. This City Lord was naturally a rogue cultivator, but not a man, but a woman named Bai Qiu Shuang.
The reason why Bai Qiu Shuang could become the City Lord of White Cloud City was simple. Her cultivation was high, she was scheming, and she had some tricks up her sleeve.
Her cultivation had reached the True Element Boundary Ninth Stage, half a step into the Origin Core Realm. Generally speaking, in a city like White Cloud City, the City Lord's cultivation was mostly below the True Immortal Fifth Stage. Bai Qiu Shuang's cultivation was considered high, so she had been in charge of White Cloud City for the past few years.
Now.
Lin Fan's million-strong army had occupied the Immortal Market Mirage above White Cloud City, posing a great threat to White Cloud City.
Bai Qiu Shuang couldn't sit idly by.
So she led her troops to attack.
The two armies confronted each other in the Immortal Market Mirage. When Lin Fan and Bai Qiu Shuang met face to face, they couldn't help but be surprised. What surprised Bai Qiu Shuang was that the other party's cultivation was too high, at the Divine Immortal Realm. He wasn't someone she could fight against at all. Moreover, the soldiers he brought were all from the Empire's regular army.
What surprised Lin Fan was that the City Lord of White Cloud City in front of him was extremely beautiful. Between her brows, there was a hint of majesty. Most importantly, she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. Lin Fan thought for a while, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this woman before. So, he stared at Bai Qiu Shuang with a playful smile and asked, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Bai Qiu Shuang saw that Lin Fan's cultivation was high, and his army was powerful. His forces were completely out of her league, so she became polite and said, "My surname is Bai, Bai Qiu Shuang. I am the City Lord of White Cloud City. May I ask who you are?
Why are you occupying the Immortal Market Mirage? "
"My name is Lin Fan. I am the Yellow Dragon Empire's Grand Marshal. I have brought my army here today to clean up the rogue cultivators."
Hearing this, Bai Qiushuang could not help but become cautious and nervous. However, she did not show any signs of panic. Instead, she politely clasped her fist and said, "So it's Marshal Lin.
Since he wants to eliminate rogue cultivators, why hasn't Marshal Lin attacked White Cloud City yet? "
Lin Fan's words were laced with sarcasm, but no one would feel disgusted if he said it out loud. Therefore, Lin Fan replied, "I am purging loose cultivators. My goal is to suppress those ambitious loose cultivators who pose a threat to the Empire. I am not doing this for the sake of killing. Besides, a small White Cloud City is not worth my time."
Bai Qiushuang had heard of Lin Fan's great name before, but she didn't expect him to say something like this. At this moment, she was filled with respect and said, "Marshal Lin is wise. Qiushuang is deeply impressed and grateful. Since Marshal Lin has no intention of attacking White Cloud City, then I can rest assured. I will thank you on behalf of the hundred thousand citizens of the city."
Bai Qiushuang said cleverly. She clasped her fist and turned around to lead her army away. However, just as she turned around, Lin Fan said, "Wait."
Bai Qiushuang's heart skipped a beat and her body trembled. She knew that something bad was going to happen. She turned around and pretended to be calm. "Marshal Lin, is there anything else?"
Lin Fan laughed coldly and said, "I said that I will not attack White Cloud City, but I did not say that I want you to leave …"
"What does Marshal Lin want?" Bai Qiushuang asked with a trembling voice.
"Since I've come all the way here, shouldn't you at least treat me to a meal as a host?" Lin Fan's gaze swept across Bai Qiushuang's curvaceous body.
Bai Qiushuang's face turned pale. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course. However, does Marshal Lin want to come alone or with your army? To be honest, I can't host such a large army."
Bai Qiushuang smiled bitterly after saying that.
"Don't worry, it's just me."
Lin Fan said and flew over to Bai Qiushuang's side. He smelled her fragrance and smiled. "Let's go. I am hungry and want to eat your food."
Lin Fan's words were obviously teasing her. Bai Qiushuang's face flashed with embarrassment and anger, but she did not dare to show it. She lowered her head and said, "Marshal Lin, please."
Bai Qiushuang knew that Lin Fan did not have any good intentions, but she did not dare to reject him. One must know that Lin Fan and his million soldiers were like a ferocious tiger.
She and White Cloud City were like lambs.
If they angered this ferocious tiger, they would be slaughtered.
When they reached White Cloud City, Bai Qiushuang ordered her army to retreat.
She led Lin Fan to the City Lord's Mansion alone.
When they reached the City Lord's Mansion, they slowly walked in with Bai Qiushuang.
Lin Fan looked around and realized that the City Lord's Mansion was still the same City Lord's Mansion from a few years ago. It hadn't changed at all. Thus, he walked in with big steps. When he reached a garden, he pointed at a flat ground and asked, "Eh?
Where did the pavilion go? And the pond, why was it filled up? "
Bai Qiushuang was surprised.
She did not answer but asked, "Marshal Lin, how did you know there was a pavilion and a pond here?"
Lin Fan smiled proudly and said, "If I didn't leave, you wouldn't be the City Lord of White Cloud City."
"What do you mean?"
"I came to White Cloud City before and became the City Lord. Later on, I left for some reason. Otherwise, I would still be the City Lord."
"Uh … you.
You are the person who killed Xia Junjie and Xia Hou … "Bai Qiushuang covered her mouth and stared at Lin Fan in shock.
When she first came to White Cloud City to be promoted to City Lord, the Xia Clan's City Lord had died.
He had heard that the previous generation's City Lord, the Xia Clan, had been annihilated. At that time, he had only heard that a ruthless and ruthless Immortal Dao hero had seized the City Lord's position.
That immortal cultivator cultivator was actually Lin Fan in front of her.
"I didn't scare you, did I?" Lin Fan turned around and smiled warmly at Bai Qiushuang.
Seeing Lin Fan's smile, Bai Qiushuang shuddered and stammered, "No, no."
"Don't worry, this used to be my city. Therefore, I will not do anything to my former city." Lin Fan said and continued, "You still haven't answered my question.
Why is the pavilion and pond gone?? "
Bai Qiushuang said sternly, "Sensual pleasures are unnecessary.
It's fine if we don't want them, lest we lose our will … "
"Haha, Bai Qiushuang, you're right!"
Lin Fan smiled. Seeing Bai Qiushuang's embarrassed and angry expression, he felt that she was even more adorable. Therefore, he clasped his hands and said, "White Cloud City being ruled by you is a blessing to the people."
Bai Qiushuang did not expect Lin Fan to say such words again. For a moment, she could not see through him. He was obviously a wastrel, but his words were so righteous. Bai Qiushuang could not tell whether Lin Fan was pretending or not. In any case, she carefully led him into the dining hall.
Soon, the food and wine were served. It looked very sumptuous.
Lin Fan did not come here to eat the food, but to eat Bai Qiushuang's food. However, Bai Qiushuang was not a promiscuous person. This made Lin Fan slightly disappointed. However, he did not force her. Instead, he sat down graciously and scanned the table full of food and wine. "Bai Qiushuang, do you usually have such a sumptuous meal?"
Bai Qiushuang said, "I'm not that extravagant. I usually only have two dishes."
"Then you're the most simple City Lord I've ever seen."
Bai Qiushuang poured wine for Wang Xiao Qiang but did not pour wine for herself. Lin Fan said, "Aren't you going to drink with me??"
Bai Qiushuang said, "Sorry, I'm not good at drinking."
Lin Fan knew that she was cautious, so he did not force her. After drinking a cup of wine, he said, "Bai Qiushuang, you're a rogue cultivator, right?"
Bai Qiushuang said, "Marshal Lin, you're asking the obvious. In White Cloud City, everyone is a rogue cultivator. Even the ordinary citizens are under the jurisdiction of a rogue cultivator.
You can say that White Cloud City is a rogue cultivator's territory. "
"Since you're a rogue cultivator, then you should know about the major powers in the rogue cultivator world, right?"
Bai Qiushuang did not know what Lin Fan was up to. She said, "Marshal Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Alright." Lin Fan slammed the wine cup on the table. "I want to know more about the rogue cultivator world. You better tell me in detail about the power structure of the rogue cultivator world. If there's even half a lie, I won't let you off."
Bai Qiushuang hesitated and said, "Yes."
Then, Bai Qiushuang described the power structure of the rogue cultivator world in detail. The biggest power in the rogue cultivator world was the city. It was known as the Ten Major Rogue Cultivator Cities. Each of the Ten Major Rogue Cultivator Cities was controlled by a rogue cultivator family. The cultivation of the ten City Lords was needless to say. They were all at the Primordial Soul Stage.
Wind Cloud City was known as the leader of the Ten Major Rogue Cultivators. Its City Lord, Feng Yuntian, had already broken through to the Divine Immortal Stage.
His strength was unparalleled in the rogue cultivator world. As his strength increased, so did his power. Now, the City Lords of the other Nine Major Rogue Cultivators Cities followed his lead.
Feng Yuntian was very ambitious. He was trying to unify the rogue cultivator world and then invade the Yellow Dragon Empire.
He wanted to suppress the orthodox cultivators and become the ruler of the Yellow Dragon Empire.
However, his plan was put on hold because of his father, Feng Yuntian's illness. Feng Yuntian was a filial son. His father, Feng Yuntian, had a strange illness. For his father's illness, he went around looking for famous doctors. His plan could only be put on hold.
Lin Fan heard this and made a decision. He said, "Bring me to Wind Cloud City."
Bai Qiushuang's expression changed. "Marshal Lin, are you going to attack Wind Cloud City?"
"That's right."
"Forgive me for being blunt. Marshal Lin's strength is not enough to fight against Feng Yuntian. Feng Yuntian is at the Immortal Stage. If he united all the rogue cultivator forces, there would be millions of people. It's not something you can fight against."
Lin Fan smiled. "Why?
Are you so worried about me?? "
Bai Qiushuang's face turned red. She looked away and said, "Marshal Lin, don't misunderstand. I'm just thinking from an outsider's point of view."
Lin Fan didn't hesitate and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Bring us to Wind Cloud City and it's none of your business."
Bai Qiushuang didn't know where Lin Fan got his confidence from. Seeing that Lin Fan was determined to attack Wind Cloud City, she naturally didn't dare to disagree. Hence, she brought Lin Fan and his army to Wind Cloud City.
Wind Cloud City.
City Lord's Mansion.
The entire City Lord's Mansion was shrouded in a gloomy fog.
The important figures of the Feng Yuntian Clan were all gathered in Old Master Feng Yuntian's bedroom.
A few years ago, Feng Yuntian had a strange illness. Calling it an illness wasn't really appropriate. In fact, he had cultivated a rather evil cultivation technique.
Ever since he cultivated this cultivation technique, Feng Yuntian had turned from a gentleman to a playboy. He would think of women all day long, looking for women, seeking women. He would constantly change his women and didn't care about meat or vegetables.
In the end, all the maids in the City Lord's Mansion were taken over by him. Later on, he gradually extended his hands to the decent women in Wind Cloud City.
Feng Yuntian, Feng Yuntian, was the City Lord of Wind Cloud City. He was also one of the top figures in the rogue cultivator world. Naturally, no one dared to say anything when Feng Yuntian took over a few women.
However, Feng Yuntian was already sixty years old. Even with his cultivation, his body couldn't take it. Gradually, he was squeezed dry. However, he still couldn't get rid of his bad habit of looking for women. If he didn't say it out loud, no one would know that it was because of his evil cultivation technique.
Finally, until now, Feng Yuntian was on the verge of death and was bedridden. However, he was still clamoring for his son to find women for him.
Feng Yuntian had a bad temper and bad habits. He was sinister and cruel. However, there was one good thing about him and that was that he was filial. He had always followed his father's orders.
However, when he saw his father lying on the bed looking like he was about to die, he didn't dare to find women for his father anymore. Instead, he invited a famous doctor.
On this day.
That was because a famous medical expert was coming.
Therefore, the Feng Yuntian Clan placed a lot of importance on this matter. A few of their leaders were all present.
Feng Yuntian was also dressed in formal attire and was prepared to welcome the medical expert.
…
Under Bai Qiushuang's lead, Lin Fan and his army finally arrived at Wind Cloud City. He said to Bai Qiushuang, "Alright, there's nothing for you to do here. You can leave now."
Bai Qiushuang nodded and returned the way she came from.
Lin Fan flew to the sky above Wind Cloud City and looked down at Wind Cloud City below.
He couldn't see the end of it. This Wind Cloud City was incomparably huge. It was actually the biggest city he had ever seen in the continent. It was actually tens of thousands of miles in radius.
This caused him to secretly click his tongue.
Suddenly, two figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars. Lin Fan's eyes flashed and looked over. He realized that these two figures were very familiar.
Just as he was about to use his divine senses to check, those two figures swooped down.
He quickly entered Wind Cloud City, disappearing into the crowd.
There were tens of millions of people in Wind Cloud City.
Everyone had their own cultivation. For Lin Fan to find two people in this crowd was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, they were just two familiar figures. It wasn't enough to attract his attention.
…
The two figures that Lin Fan saw were none other than the medical beggar, Jin Futu, and his daughter, Jin Qiaoqiao.
After the father and daughter entered Wind Cloud City, they directly walked towards the City Lord's Residence.
When the father and daughter appeared in the City Lord's Residence, there was immediately someone to receive them. When they entered the City Lord's Residence's main hall, Feng Yuntian personally received them.
Feng Yuntian's Divine Immortal Realm cultivation was an invincible existence in the rogue cultivator world.
He had always been indifferent. Ordinary people couldn't enter his eyes.
However, when he saw Jin Futu, he still cupped his hands and bowed. He politely said, "Mister Jin, I have been waiting for a long time."
As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Qiaoqiao. The beautiful girl in front of him made him feel stunned.
Jin Futu bowed back and said, "City Lord Feng Yuntian is too polite."
Feng Yuntian said, "Mister Jin doesn't need to be so polite. Please take a seat. This is Miss Jin, right?"
"Yes, it is my daughter." Jin Futu said. "Uh, since Old Master Zhengxiong is seriously ill, then I won't sit. The treatment is more important."
"That's good."
Feng Yuntian was worried about his father's illness. Seeing this, he immediately led Jin Futu to Feng Yuntian's palace. Jin Futu waved at Jin Qiaoqiao, indicating for her to follow. Seeing this, Jin Qiaoqiao obediently followed.
Feng Yuntian frowned and said, "Miss Jin, you don't need to follow. Stay here for now. I will find someone to wait on you."
Jin Futu said, "When I am outside, she is always by my side."
Once, Jin Futu went to treat the wife of a rogue cultivator. That rogue cultivator wanted to take Jin Qiaoqiao for himself. Fortunately, Jin Qiaoqiao had a striped beast on her back. Otherwise, she would have been ruined by that rogue cultivator. Since then, Jin Futu was very careful. No matter where he went, he would always bring his daughter with him.
"Okay." Feng Yuntian frowned slightly.
The three of them came to Feng Yuntian's palace. Feng Yuntian's palace was very big and very luxurious. The walls were covered with large wallpapers. On the wallpapers were pictures that would make one's heart beat faster.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Feng Yun Zhengxiong weakly opened his eyes. When he saw Jin Futu, he smiled and turned to look at Jin Qiaoqiao. Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him, Feng Yun Zhengxiong's eyes lit up, like a starving man who saw a chicken leg. He immediately drooled.
Ever since Feng Yun Zhengxiong started practicing that evil martial art, he still had a weird mentality towards beautiful women.
Jin Futu asked about the cause of his illness. Feng Yuntian found it hard to talk about it. He could only whisper into Jin Futu's ear. As for the cause of his illness, he himself did not know so he had nothing to say.
Jin Futu listened and nodded. He sat in front of the bed and took Feng Yuntian's pulse. Then he said, "This illness is very strange …"
Feng Yuntian's heart sank. "Mister Jin, this illness, even you can't treat it?"
"Everything in this world is caused by cause and effect. If there is a cause, there will be an effect. It's the same for illnesses. If there is no cause, there will be no effect. I don't know the cause of the illness so I can't treat it."
Feng Yuntian's heart sank when he heard this. Disappointment appeared on his face, but he couldn't understand Jin Futu's actions. Jin Futu was famous in the rogue cultivator world. His medical skills had reached the pinnacle of perfection. No matter how difficult the illness was, it wouldn't be a problem for him. Why couldn't he treat his father's illness?
Was, was he being perfunctory? Was he trying to fool her?
"Mister Jin, we, we also don't know the cause of the illness. The old man refused to say …" One of Feng Yuntian's nephews said.
Jin Futu heard this and nodded. He looked at Feng Yuntian on the bed but found that Feng Yuntian's mind was not on the illness. His eyes were fixed on his daughter Jin Qiaoqiao.
Jin Futu frowned and unhappily asked, "Old Feng Yuntian, how did you get this illness?"
Feng Yuntian ignored him and only stared at Jin Qiaoqiao with a dazed smile on his face.
His old and withered appearance made him look like a ghost. When he suddenly revealed a smile, it made people feel disgusted.
Jin Qiaoqiao had goosebumps all over her body. She turned around and felt disgusted. Her face was pale.
