Ted arrived at the City Lord's mansion. There were guards at the door, and they stopped Ted.
Then, the guards went to the mansion to report.
At this time, the City Lord was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking absent-minded. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Sometimes, an expression of worry would appear on his face. He looked very anxious.
At this time, the guards came to report.
"Ted, what is he doing here?"
The City Lord's expression changed. He glanced at the guards and said, "Let him in."
Soon, the guards led Ted in.
Ted walked into the hall, and the guards turned and left.
"Why are you here?"
The City Lord looked at Ted with an indifferent expression.
Ted walked to the front and sat down casually. He took the initiative to pour himself a glass of water, then looked up at the City Lord. "You don't seem to be in a good mood."
Looking at the calm other party, the City Lord's eyes had a hint of annoyance. "Cut the crap. Who asked you to come?"
Ted did not get angry. He drank a mouthful of water and said indifferently, "Is it because you haven't been waiting for news for a long time, and your heart is in a mess. So when you see me, you're a little angry?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The City Lord's eyes flashed, and then he ordered the guest to leave.
"Do you know how Star Sand City came to be?"
Ted put down the glass and glanced at the City Lord.
The City Lord, whose eyes were already cold, was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously, "How did it come to be?"
"Back then, blue crystal grains were found in this area, so Star Sand City came to be," Ted said.
"Are you kidding me?" Murderous intent appeared in the City Lord's eyes.
Ted smiled faintly and said, "Young man, don't be impulsive. I haven't finished speaking. After the blue crystal grains were found, Star Sand City appeared to mine the blue crystal grains here."
The City Lord's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the temperature in the hall dropped sharply. This was something that all the children in Star Sand City knew, and he still wanted this old thing to talk about it?
He was ready to make a move because he was so annoyed that he wanted to kill someone today.
And he was a City Lord. If he killed a mere Third Realm cultivator, he still had a way to deal with the aftermath.
Most importantly, once the news came back, even if he did not die, this old thing would have to die!
Ted continued unhurriedly, "After that, there was the Blue Sands Continent!"
"What?"
The City Lord was stunned, and the killing intent in his eyes slowly disappeared. "You said that there was the Star Sand City first, and then the Blue Sand Province?"
"That's right."
Ted said, "This is the origin of the Star Sand City."
"Old man, have you lost your mind?
The Blue Sand Region has existed for a long time, how long has this broken city been around? "
The City Lord said discontentedly, "So what? This is just a dilapidated city."
"You've been the city lord here for three hundred years, yet you still don't understand this city. It seems like you really don't like this place."
Ted sighed and said, "Do you know what the words' Blue Sand Continent 'represent?"
"Doesn't it mean blue crystal?
The blue sand here means blue crystal. It represents power and resources. "
The City Lord answered very seriously because he could faintly feel that this old man seemed to be different from usual.
Ted smiled and said, "Your explanation is reasonable. The blue sand in the Blue Sand Region can also be regarded as blue crystal grains.
However, you can also think of it this way. 'Blue' is the 'Blue' of the Lan family. "
"What, the Lan family?"
After hearing this, the City Lord's expression changed drastically.
In the Blue Sand Region, who did not know the Lan family?
That was a true colossus, an existence whose words carried enormous weight!
If it was said that the Ghost King controlled many cities and had an extraordinary status, then the Lan Clan controlled half of the Blue Sand Continent's territory. Even the Ghost King was under their jurisdiction.
Although he was shocked by this secret, the City Lord quickly recovered and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Ted said unhurriedly, "Blue represents the Lan family, and sand has a homonym, sand."
The City Lord's heart skipped a beat. In the Blue Sand Region, there was another huge family, the Sha family, which could completely compete with the Lan family.
However, what does this have to do with me?
What's the point of telling me this secret?
Ted said in a deep voice, "The first patriarch of the Lan family was called Lan Xing."
"Lan Xing … Star Sand City … Star Sand … Could it be …?"
When these words were added together, the City Lord guessed a possibility. Could it be that the current two families started from this place?
Didn't that mean that this was the ancestral land where they started?
Seeing the City Lord's expression change, Ted praised, "Looks like you're not stupid. That's right, this is the ancestral land where the Lan and Sha families started. Back then, the name of the city was from one of the two families. This is also why this dilapidated city can always overcome the crisis and stand tall every time a crisis occurs."
"What does this have to do with me?"
The City Lord was shocked and said firmly, but the bad feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Ted looked up at the City Lord and said, "Because the person we want to protect this time is a member of the Lan family."
"What?"
The City Lord almost jumped up. The young lady they wanted to protect this time was a member of the Lan family?
How was this possible?
The Lan family was such a big family. Why would they need their protection?
"So, although you've been the City Lord here for three hundred years, you just want to accumulate wealth. You've never liked this place at all. Naturally, you've never thought about understanding this city.
Do you really think that we're a bunch of old fools who've lived a little longer?
You can discover the identities of Zi Chen and the other two, but we can't? "
There was a hint of sarcasm in Ted's eyes. "Do you really think that the houses on our street are really cheap and good, and that everyone can enter?
"A few years ago, you deliberately played tricks to make people stay away from our street. Do you really think that the reason we're silent is just because we're afraid of you?
"What do you mean by telling me all this?"
Looking at the sarcasm in Ted's eyes, the City Lord's face turned pale. This was a secret. Why would Ted tell him this secret out of the blue?
And how could he guarantee that he wouldn't spread this secret?
"I wanted to give you a chance, but I didn't expect that not only would you be audacious, but you would also want to take my share."
Ted shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, you're too greedy. You want to eat everything, big or small."
"I don't know what you're talking about." The City Lord's face became uglier and uglier.
"You haven't received the news yet, right?"
Ted glanced at the City Lord and said, "The Lan family is nostalgic and has been paying attention to this place. That's why this city has always existed.
The Sha family has always been very radical and has long given up on this place.
You've taken the wrong bus this time. "
After saying that, Ted turned and left.
"Stop, what do you mean by saying all this?
Aren't you afraid that I'll tell this secret? "The City Lord shouted.
Ted looked back at the City Lord, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more intense.
Could a dead man speak?
On the same day, the City Lord Mansion had a new owner.
A young man named Lan Zhan became the new City Lord.
At the same time, it also indicated that the Lan family had officially taken over this city.

In the dense forest, Zi Chen looked at the bandit leader in front of him. "Is it really that difficult to let you look behind you?"
"You want to fool me with this kind of childish trick?" The bandit leader sneered. "Today, none of you can leave!"
Zi Chen said again, "Then why don't you think about why those who escaped with injuries didn't come back?"
The bandit leader's face changed slightly, but he still didn't turn around. "You're too cunning. After I kill all of you, I'll naturally look behind you."
"Forget it if you don't believe me."
Zi Chen said lightly. As soon as his voice fell, the bandit leader's eyes turned dark.
When the dark light dissipated, a small black beast was floating in the air.
It was the Phantom that had never made a move.
"Clean up the battlefield and leave."
