The Undying Taoist had given Qin Shi accurate information, allowing Qin Shi to finally relax. He also began to sincerely look forward to tomorrow night.
However, he naturally wouldn't be idle for the rest of the day. His previous fight with Zhao Gojian in the market had caused his arm to break again. Although he had already reconnected the bones on the way, the hidden injury was still there. Now that he was free, he had to recuperate. Otherwise, there would inevitably be some sequelae.
… …
The next day, night.
Nightless City fell into an unprecedented state of alert. Soldiers constantly patrolled the streets, and most of these soldiers were from the Zhao family.
After yesterday's incident, the atmosphere in the Zhao family was very grim.
The matter had also spread throughout the city. Now, the wanted posters for Qin Shi had spread all over the streets and alleys, and the value had reached a million spirit stones.
In order to show their respect to the Zhao family, even some of the foreign families had sent disciples to pursue and capture Qin Shi.
In the Zhao family's patriarch residence, Zhao Gojian sat on a square chair with an ashen face. At this moment, a disciple hurriedly ran in. Seeing him, Zhao Gojian stood up and asked, "How is it?
Is there any news of that kid? "
"Sir, we've searched every corner of the city, but … but there's no news of the three Tong siblings, let alone the thief who injured the young master. I think, I think they've already left the city?" the disciple said timidly.
Hearing this, Zhao Gojian's expression turned ugly as expected. He shouted angrily, "Impossible!
I've already sent people to block all four exits of Nightless City. Now, let alone a few living people, even a fly can't fly out of Nightless City. Do you think they can just disappear into thin air? "
"I, I don't know either," the disciple replied helplessly.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "By the way, sir, there are two places that our people haven't searched, but the Zhao family can't easily enter those two places."
"Oh?
In Nightless City, is there any place that even the Zhao family doesn't dare to easily enter? "
"Yes, it's the Yangtan Bamboo Forest and the city lord's residence. However, this matter has already spread throughout Nightless City, and the city lord's residence has also received the news. Although our people haven't been able to enter to search, the city lord's residence has confirmed that the kid isn't in the residence, so only the Yangtan Bamboo Forest is left."
"Yangtan Bamboo Forest?"
With these four words, the arrogant Zhao Gojian suddenly calmed down and did not vent his anger on this disciple. Thus, it was obvious that he was also very wary of the Yangtan Bamboo Forest.
But when he thought of how Qin Shi caused his Zhao Clan to lose face, it caused him to be unable to restrain his rage. In the end, he ordered. "Hmph! Search! Even if I offend that old fellow, I must dig him out, tear his corpse into pieces, and hang it outside the estate as a warning to others. Let them know the consequences of offending my Zhao Clan!"
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the disciple hurriedly agreed, and then he was about to leave the hall. However, just as he stood up, another figure ran in from outside the door, and the figure came face to face with him. The figure said, "My … My Lord, there's news, there's news about that thief!"
"Hm?"
Zhao Gojian instantly became spirited. It was already evening, and the moonlight from the Living Earth shone through the hazy clouds and through the window, casting mottled colors in the hall. At this moment, this color seemed a bit cold, making people shudder. "Good, good. I said that kid can't escape from the palm of my hand. Tell me, where is he?"
"Sir, our people found him outside the Yangtan Bamboo Forest. He appeared from the Yangtan Bamboo Forest, but … but …!"
"But what?"
"After seeing him, our people went to capture him, but we didn't expect the undying old man to follow him and help that thief. Now, our disciples have suffered heavy losses."
"What?"
Zhao Gojian stood up abruptly, bristling with anger. "Good, this old man has been in seclusion for three years. As expected, he's up to no good. Now he's clearly going against our Zhao Clan, isn't he?
Then I'll let him know that the current Zhao Clan isn't someone he can provoke! "
Immediately, Zhao Gojian asked, "Tell me, where are they now?"
"Sir, they're heading towards the city lord's mansion."
"City lord's mansion?"
Zhao Guojian was taken aback for a moment, then his lips curled into a sinister smile. "Haha, even the heavens are helping me. Most of the people in the City Lord's Mansion are our Zhao family's trusted aides. Isn't he just seeking his own death by going there?
Good, good, good. Pass down my order, set off for the city lord's mansion. I'll go meet that old man now! "
"Yes!"
The disciple got up and transmitted his voice. "Set off for the city lord's mansion!"
…
On the other side, Qin Shi and Xiao Mi Cai followed the Undying Taoist to the city lord's mansion. But to avoid trouble, the three Tong brothers stayed in the Yangtan Bamboo Forest.
Along the way, Qin Shi was attacked by quite a number of Zhao Clan's disciples. But before he could do anything, they were all dispersed by the hot-tempered Undying Taoist. After that, no one dared to provoke him anymore.
Because of that, the three of them had a much smoother journey. Very soon, they arrived at the city lord's mansion of the Nightless City.
The city lord's mansion was located in the center of the city. It was an extremely majestic palace with beautiful flowers on the periphery. The fragrance could be smelled even across the city walls, making one feel relaxed and relaxed.
Qin Shi praised inwardly, "What a treasured land."
Just as the three of them approached the palace, four soldiers with spears raised their spears and blocked the three of them. The leader said coldly, "Who are you!
This is the restricted area of the city lord's mansion. You're not allowed to enter without permission! "
"Hmph, you don't even recognize me?"
The Undying Taoist roared angrily and waved his palms four times. A strong soul aura forced the four of them to retreat.
"How dare you cause trouble in the city lord's mansion. Men, take them down!" The guard's expression changed. Suddenly, dozens of soldiers rushed out from the surroundings.
Seeing this scene from behind, Qin Shi was speechless. He cursed inwardly, "Hey, this old man, why is he more troublemaker than me?"
"How dare you!"
But at this moment, a middle-aged man who was very meticulous in his dressing suddenly came out from the palace to welcome them. Qin Shi could see the worry on his face and the joy of not seeing him for a long time.
And all of this was so sincere. It was definitely not something that could be faked.
That shout caused countless guards and soldiers to turn around. However, when they saw the middle-aged man, they were all shocked. They bowed to the ground and said respectfully, "Welcome, City Lord!"
"City lord?"
Qin Shi squinted his eyes and thought to himself, "So, this is the city lord of the Nightless City, Li Tan?
He looks more approachable than I thought. "
Li Tan walked forward and stood in front of the Undying Taoist. He trembled and said, "Teacher Undying, you've recovered?
You've finally recovered?
That's great. "
It could be seen that the relationship between the Undying Taoist and Li Tan was not shallow. He hugged Li Tan and was very emotional. He said, "Mm, it's all thanks to this young man's help."
Then, the Undying Taoist pulled Qin Shi to his side and said, "Li Tan, let me introduce you. This young man is Qin Shi. He's an impressive young man. He was the one who saved me previously."
Li Tan sized up Qin Shi meaningfully, then revealed a surprised expression. "He's already at the Four Heavens stage at such a young age. His talent is indeed not bad."
"Hehe, not only is he at the Four Heavens State, he's also a Seven Curse Talisman Master. Even an old man like me can't help but be envious of his Soul Power."
"What?"
The Undying Taoist's words caused Li Tan's expression to change. He could no longer remain calm. Although Qin Shi's Four Heavens State was praiseworthy, it was not an exaggeration for an emperor like him. He could only say that he was talented. However, the Undying Taoist's words completely shocked him. What did a Seven Curse Talisman Master mean?
That was an existence that could cause an entire faction to go crazy over.
However, this kind of strength appeared on a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. This caused even the city lord to be unable to maintain his calm. He said to Qin Shi, "Little brother, you are indeed talented."
"Hehe, you're flattering me. I'm just a little luckier than the average person." Qin Shi smiled humbly.
Li Tan and the Undying Taoist thought that he was being humble. Luck was an important factor in becoming powerful. However, it was impossible to become a Seven Curse Talisman Master with only luck. It required countless nights of hard work and hard work.
Because of that, Li Tan's opinion of Qin Shi improved.
However, to be able to become the mayor, Li Tan's schemes and shrewdness were naturally extraordinary. He quickly adjusted his state of mind and said to the three of them, "Alright, let's not stand outside. Let's talk inside. I've already ordered the servants to prepare a banquet for the Undying Taoist in the main hall. Let's have a good gathering tonight."
"Alright."
The Undying Taoist agreed excitedly. Then, he realized that something was amiss. He turned around and asked Qin Shi, "Young man, what do you think?"
Regarding this matter, Qin Shi naturally wouldn't reject it. Even if Li Tan didn't mention it, he would still think of a way to enter the palace and obtain the Desolate Geocentric Milk from Li Tan's hands. Hence, he smiled and nodded, "Since City Lord Li has such a refined interest, it is naturally difficult for me to reject your kindness."
"Haha, it's difficult for me to reject your hospitality. Let's drink till we're drunk tonight!" Li Tan laughed and led the three of them into the main hall.
Once they entered the main hall, just as Li Tan had said, he really prepared a banquet. There were all sorts of delicacies. Then, Qin Shi and the other three sat down at the round table in the middle.
