The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 441: Chapter 441: The Attitude of the City Lord [Four Updates]

The City Lord is here?

Zhang Yibing’s body suddenly jolted.

Jing Yan’s conflict with the Song Family had ended, but not the one with City Lord Yuan Jihu!

Why is the City Lord coming to the Zhang Family? It’s obvious, even without thinking, that he must be looking for Jing Yan. Why else would the City Lord Mansion come to his Zhang Family for no reason? Since Yuan Jihu took office in Haofeng City, he had never personally visited the Zhang Family. Even if there were affairs concerning the City Lord Mansion, they would just send someone to summon the members of the Zhang Family.

”Please invite him in quickly!” After his mind was shaken, Zhang Yibing immediately said.

Zhang Family reception room!

Zhang Yibing and several Zhang Family elders quickly entered, only to find Yuan Jihu already waiting inside.

”Hahaha... Clan Chief Zhang, good to see you! Good to see you!” Yuan Jihu stood up upon seeing the Zhang Family members entering and greeted them with a laugh.

Zhang Yibing and the Zhang Family members were immediately dumbfounded!

What’s going on?

The City Lord not only stood up to greet them but was also smiling and saying hello?

For a moment, Zhang Yibing and the others couldn’t get their head around the situation; they didn’t understand what game the City Lord was playing.

”We’ve seen City Lord!” After a moment of shock, Zhang Yibing came to his senses and hurriedly bowed to greet Yuan Jihu.

Standing before them was the City Lord of Haofeng City. The Zhang Family wouldn’t dare to be disrespectful, unless they no longer wished to remain in Haofeng City!

”Clan Chief Zhang! My main purpose for coming here is to see Mr. Jing Yan. I heard he is a guest at your Zhang Family. Can Clan Chief Zhang introduce me?” Yuan Jihu straightforwardly revealed his purpose.

Indeed, he came looking for Jing Yan!

Wait... Mr. Jing Yan? What does that mean?

Zhang Yibing and the others grew more and more confused. It was certain that the City Lord wanted to find Jing Yan, but something seemed off about his attitude!

And they needed the Zhang Family’s help to introduce him?

Damn it, didn’t you meet Jing Yan at the Song Family Mansion two days ago? Back then, you almost started a fight with him, so how come now it’s as if you’ve never seen him before?

Zhang Yibing and the Zhang Family were indeed a bit bewildered. Looking at the City Lord’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like he was there to trouble Jing Yan.

”City Lord, Mr. Jing Yan just left the Zhang Family and went to the residence of Alchemist Gao Lan!” Although Zhang Yibing was completely baffled, he still had to answer Yuan Jihu’s question.

”He went to Gao Lan’s residence, ah! Oh right, Mr. Jing Yan is an Alchemist. Could it be that he’s gone to discuss the Alchemy Dao with Alchemist Gao Lan? Gao Lan does have some ability to make Mr. Jing Yan go see him. Not bad!” Yuan Jihu realized and then continued with a smile, ”Don’t worry, I can wait here; I’m free anyway!”

”City Lord, Mr. Jing Yan went to see Alchemist Gao Lan, but not to discuss the Alchemy Dao. It’s because...” Although Zhang Yibing didn’t know why Yuan Jihu had changed his attitude towards Jing Yan, one thing was certain, Yuan Jihu hadn’t come to cause trouble for Jing Yan. So he revealed the reason why Jing Yan went to look for Gao Lan.

”What?”

”Ridiculous fool! This Gao Lan, he’s such a bastard! This old coot, to actually do such a thing! No, I must go see for myself, this old man is simply a disgrace to Haofeng City!” Yuan Jihu couldn’t contain his fury and lowly roared on the spot.

Zhang Yibing and the others were taken aback by Yuan Jihu’s sudden outburst.

”Clan Chief Zhang, I must go first, farewell!” After speaking, Yuan Jihu dashed out of the reception room, soared into the sky, and hurriedly flew towards Gao Lan’s residence.

Gao Lan’s residence.

”Master, is this medicine really that extraordinary?” A middle-aged man wearing a purple outfit, standing beside Gao Lan, with a porcelain bottle in his hands, expressed his surprise.

”Hmm. This potion is called the Holy Spirit Potion, truly incredible! I’ve lived for over a hundred years and never heard of such a miraculous potion in this world. Tsk, tsk...” Gao Lan said with emotion.

”It’s truly unbelievable, inconceivable. If one could mass-produce such a potion, wouldn’t that allow the creation of a group of Martial Artists at the Innate Realm in a short time?” The middle-aged man also marveled, he was Gao Lan’s disciple, a First-level Alchemist.

”Correct! However, I’ve studied this potion for several days now and still cannot fully comprehend the ingredients used in its formulation. As for how to make it, that is even more difficult. I fear, with just my abilities, it would be tough to achieve in my lifetime.” Gao Lan said, his eyes hardening.

His desire to swallow these five bottles of potion was not merely for their effects; rather, he wanted to unravel their formulation. Just five bottles, no matter how precious, what value could they hold? But if he could decipher the formula, that would be a treasure beyond measure! It could be said that once successful, the entirety of Lanqu County City might be shaken.

At that time, in Lanqu County City, who wouldn’t know the name of Gao Lan?

Heh, even those Intermediate Alchemists of the Alchemist Association would have to show him great respect! Therefore, he must find a way to figure out the formula for the Holy Spirit Potion.

”With such a potion, to clarify its formula, it’s well worth any cost, no matter how great!” Gao Lan’s disciple took a deep breath and said with emphasis.

”Gao Lan, come out!”

Just then, a voice thundered from the sky.

Hearing the voice, Gao Lan’s expression shifted slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

”Who’s there?” Gao Lan’s disciple’s face changed, and he shouted in an instant.

”It must be that Jing Yan! Come, let’s go see what he wants to do!” Gao Lan said to his disciple.

He had anticipated that Jing Yan would come.

Zhang Family Patriarch Zhang Yibing returned with the fake medicine, so he would certainly tell Jing Yan who provided the Holy Spirit Potion. Hence, Jing Yan’s visit to cause trouble was inevitable.

”Jing Yan? The one who clashed with the Song Family?” Gao Lan’s disciple’s voice dropped considerably. He had also heard of Jing Yan’s fearsome reputation in these past two days.

The killer deity, what does he want with the master?

Gao Lan’s disciple wanted to ask the reason, but Gao Lan had already stepped out, and he could only follow closely behind.

As soon as the two stepped out, they saw a figure descending from the sky. Meanwhile, the guards in the residence were rushing over from all directions, surrounding Jing Yan. Knowing the visitor had descended from the sky, they recognized him as a Dao Spirit Realm expert, so they stopped at a distance, only broadly encircling Jing Yan, not daring to approach.

”Who are you?” Gao Lan looked at Jing Yan and asked sternly.

He was feigning ignorance!

”Are you Gao Lan?” Jing Yan’s gaze was fixed.

”Correct, I am Gao Lan. Who exactly are you, and why have you intruded into my residence? Do you think, with your strength, you can do whatever you want?” Gao Lan was adept at turning the tables.
