Chapter 1193 Fengcheng Painter
The Lord of the North City in the hall immediately put away his coercive power, and the ferocious look just now was instantly wiped away. He also turned around and bowed to the people in the hall with clasped fists.
"Hongyuan Hongji, I have met the Lord of the City." Hongji's eyes flashed with a fiery color. It was obvious that her admiration for this person came from her heart without any deception.
Lu Chen on the side also put away the Ancient Lotus Sword at this moment. When he looked up at the people in the hall, he couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
"It's you." Lu Chen squinted his eyes, looked at the figure in front of him and murmured softly.
The person who turned around was none other than the strange painter who painted for him in the streets and alleys of Fengcheng the day before yesterday. This person turned out to be the Lord of Fengcheng.
The Lord of Fengcheng smiled, took a deep look at Lu Chen, and slowly said, "Brother, can you please pay back any Yan Mou?"
"The painter in the city, there is nothing in the world to paint, I will naturally remember it." Lu Chen looked neither humble nor arrogant, took a step forward, raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.
There is no doubt that this person is the painter. No wonder the paintings he made can affect his mind.
It's no wonder that I can't see through this person's cultivation level, because the Lord of Wind City is a powerful person in the beginning of the calamity, and his cultivation level is much higher than his.
Xu Xiuyuan smiled indifferently and spoke again: "Xu has already noticed from the moment you entered Fengcheng. Lu Chen, you are quite courageous. You know that I am looking for you, but now you have thrown yourself into a trap."
Lu Chen looked calm when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled, reached out and took off the white jade mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.
"Hiss...it's indeed Lu Chen."
"How dare you step into the City Lord's Mansion, please stay here today..."
"Haha, boy, who did you say you were going to kill just now? Let's see how Mr. Zhao will make you a widow today!"
At this time, the three city lords in the hall suddenly stood up after learning Lu Chen's true identity. The power of cultivation in their bodies quietly moved away, and they stepped forward and surrounded him in the hall.
A hint of panic flashed across Hong Ji's face. She didn't expect that the Lord of the Windy City would fall out at any time.
But she was only distracted for a moment, and the next moment her eyes showed determination and she stood in front of Lu Chen.
With three powerful men in the Tribulation Realm, plus an unfathomable Lord of Wind City, even if Lu Chen had the strength of the Tribulation Realm at the moment, it would be difficult to fight against them.
"If Lu wants to kill this person today, are you going to stop him?" Lu Chen raised his arm and pointed like the Lord of the North City, but his eyes were always focused on Xu Xiuyuan.
Since Lu Chen dared to come here today, how could Lu Chen not expect the scene at this moment.
But he could conclude that the Lord of Windy City did not want to be his enemy. When he saw that this person was the painter, Lu Chen was 100% sure that the Lord of Windy City would not kill him.
"Boy, what did you say!" Bei City Lord's eyes were filled with anger. If he hadn't been in the City Lord's Mansion at this moment, he would have taken action directly.
Lu Chen chuckled lightly and ignored the North City Lord beside him. His eyes were always fixed on Xu Xiuyuan in the hall.
A strange light flashed in Xu Xiuyuan's eyes. After giving Lu Chen a meaningful look, he smiled slightly and his expression became much more friendly.
"Xue Gong Licang is really brave, Xu admires him!"
"If you are willing to stay in Fengcheng and take the place of the Lord of North City, I will certainly not stop you from killing him." Xu Xiuyuan said with a smile.
The Lord of the North City on the other side couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this. The slightly tall figure subconsciously took two steps back, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes when he looked at Lu Chen.
As a strong person in the Tribulation Realm, he naturally knows what the four words "Xue Gong Li Cang" mean. The strength of Li Cang City in the southern region of Li Cang Realm is among the pinnacles of this realm.
"Lu still needs to rush to Licang City, and he won't be able to stay here for long." Lu Chen said calmly, looking at the person in front of him.
Lu Chen was not too surprised that Xu Xiuyuan knew his identity. This person was in the Tribulation Beginning Realm and was the Lord of Wind City. It was not difficult to figure out his terrain.
Hong Ji on the side had a confused look on her face at the moment. From what the Lord of Fengcheng said just now, it seemed that he and Lu Chen had known each other for a long time.
Xu Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and looked away from Lu Chen, falling on Hong Ji beside him.
"A direct descendant of the Red Lotus clan, with a dark blood ring, you will not disgrace Fengcheng's reputation by becoming the Lord of East City."
"From today onwards, you are the Lord of the East City of Fengcheng. From now on, you need to work hard to improve your cultivation. Xu can help you overcome the catastrophe in the calamity realm." Xu Xiuyuan said slowly and calmly.
Hong Ji's expression suddenly became extremely excited when she heard this. She immediately walked forward, knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully to the people in the palace.
"Hong Ji thanks the Lord of the City." Hong Ji's voice was full of excitement.
The Lord of the Wind City promised to help her survive the catastrophe in the Tribulation Realm. He undoubtedly gave her a level of cultivation in the Tribulation Realm. How could she not be excited?
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but glance at Xu Xiuyuan. This person seemed to have a profound meaning in his move.
After Xu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the hall, sitting on the big chair in the center, his eyes scanning the faces of the four city lords one by one.
"There has been some unrest in Windy City recently. It's time for you to help."
"The demonic shadow outside the city also seems to be guided by a strange power and can penetrate the city defense formation. You should return to your respective city lord's mansion as quickly as possible and follow the orders of the law enforcement envoy."
Xu Xiuyuan's tone could not be refused. The strong man in the Tribulation Beginning Realm seemed to have an irresistible aura that made people dare not
counter his words.
The other three city lords all nodded in agreement. Hong Ji on the side suddenly looked up at Xu Xiuyuan. She had another purpose of coming here today, which was to agree to Lu Chen's inquiry about Su Yu's whereabouts.
Just when she was about to speak, Lu Chen's eyes flashed and he reached out and took Hong Ji's arm.
"There is no need for you to worry about Su Yu. Go back to Hongyuan and wait for me to come back." Lu Chen glanced at Hong Ji and said through the voice transmission with his spiritual consciousness.
When Hong Ji heard Lu Chen's message, she nodded slightly, raised her hand to bow to Xu Xiuyuan, followed the three city lords, and left the hall at this moment.
Soon, only Lu Chen and Xu Xiuyuan were left in the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, as Li Cang, you and I should be on equal terms. Please tell me." Xu Xiuyuan raised his hand to Lu Chen and made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Chen's eyes flashed slightly. Xu Xiuyuan's behavior made him a little confused. It seemed that things were different from what he thought.
After only thinking for a moment, Lu Chen didn't say much. He nodded slightly and followed this person into a secret room at the back of the palace.
The secret room was filled with scrolls, and there was an unfinished painting spread out on the small table in front of the wooden frame. The shadowy figure outlined in it was that of a graceful girl.
