The City Lord's Mansion of Xinan County was located in the center of Xinan County. Although the entire New An County looked desolate, the City Lord's Mansion was constructed in an extremely luxurious manner, comparable to the palaces of some of the smaller mortal kingdoms in the Eastern Region.
After leaving the Heaven's End Inn, he had easily found the City Lord's Mansion located in the center of the city.
The strongest cultivator here was a late stage Soul Formation cultivator. He was wearing a long robe and was sitting in his study room looking at files. The rest of the guards were mostly Core Formation cultivators who were scattered all over the mansion.
"This person should be the new city lord of Xinan County." Ye Tian muttered to himself before instantly disappearing. When Ye Tian reappeared, he was already in the middle-aged man's study room.
Ye Tian's appearance did not seem to attract the middle-aged man's attention. He was sipping his tea as he read the file in his hand with relish. At this moment, Ye Tian carefully sized up the middle-aged man and discovered that although this person had a full beard and an ordinary appearance, he had an evil aura about him that caused Ye Tian to feel uncomfortable.
"You're the new Mayor of Xinan County?" After observing for a while, Ye Tian suddenly opened his mouth and said.
The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard that. He stood up and stared at Ye Tian with fear in his eyes as he shouted, "Who ? who are you? What is your intention for appearing in this city lord's mansion? "
"Who I am is not important. You just need to tell me if you are the new Mayor of Xinan County." Ye Tian lightly smiled when he heard this.
Hearing that, the middle-aged man immediately became vigilant, and his eyes turned to Ye Tian and he coldly replied, "That's right, I'm the new City Lord of Xinan County, Suikou, from the way you dress, you shouldn't be from the Great Yue State. If you have anything to say, please speak your mind, you can just appear in front of me without a sound, meaning that you are not an ordinary low-level cultivator, so you can say anything."
Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw the indifferent expression of the lucky man. He thought to himself, "Originally, this fellow was extremely scared. This caused his aura to be unstable, but he still had to pretend that he was not afraid at all." The night hadn't come, so he didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "Hehe, the mayor is indeed straightforward. I have something to ask of you today."
Upon hearing that Ye Tian was not here to cause trouble with him, Shan Kou relaxed a bit. He sat down in his seat and let out a sigh of relief before saying, "Haha, if you have anything to say, please speak. There is nothing in Xinan County that I, Shan Kou, cannot do."
"If that is the case, then this one shall thank you. I heard that the Mayor was originally a subordinate of the previous Mayor. After the mayor left, you took over the Mayor's position?" Ye Tian found a place in the room to sit down as he spoke indifferently.
"En, that is indeed the case. The Honorable Shang Village is the son of the Crown Prince, but fortunately, he was promoted so far. Is your distinguished self here late at night to visit about the matter of the Honorable Shang Village?" Luckily, Shankou was not a fool. After hearing Ye Tian's words, he immediately understood that this cultivator that he had never met before must have come to Zhengxiong in the middle of the night for the sake of his master.
"Hehe, you can put it this way. I have some matters to discuss with Zhengxiong, I wonder if the mayor can help me deliver a message?" Ye Tian nodded.
Hehe, you must have been invited by the Lord of Upper Village to come help you. The reason why the Lord of Upper Village returned to the Imperial City this time is to compete with the other heirs for the position of prince. As the lucky man spoke, he stood up and bowed to Ye Tian.
"Fight for the throne? I didn't expect that Shang Cun, Zhengxiong, would act so quickly. " "Since the mayor has already guessed it, then I won't say too much. But I'm an outsider after all, so I can't just go find Zhao Xiong. I'll trouble the mayor to send a message on his behalf, just say that an old friend invited him to Xinan County and asked him to come over as soon as possible."
"Hehe, since it is about Lord Shang Village's matter, I would naturally not dare to slight you. Please wait a moment, I will go and pass on the message." The lucky guy from Yamaguchi said and quickly walked out of the study. Ye Tian didn't stop them when he saw this.
After that, Ye Tian stood up and walked to the side of the table. He picked up the file that the lucky man had flipped through earlier and looked at it. Although Ye Tian did not know much about the script of Ying Nation, he could still understand its general meaning. Ye Tian was somewhat surprised to see that the book contained detailed data on the young and robust men and children of Xinan County.
It was just that this scroll actually recorded the concentration of blood essence and the condition of the child's life force. This made Ye Tian feel a little strange, and this made him think of the evil aura that he had felt from the lucky man in the mountain pass when he had first entered the study.
"Could this person be from the underworld faction?" Ye Tian stared at the file in his hand as he muttered to himself. After thinking about it for a while, Ye Tian decided to wait for the lucky man to return and carefully observe him. If he really was a member of the Nine Serenities Faction, then he definitely would have to kill him on the spot, otherwise, the experts of the Nine Serenities Faction would definitely chase him down, because Ye Tian had already exposed himself in front of that cold attitude at the Thousand Revolution School.
After making up his mind, Ye Tian sat back on his seat and quietly waited for the lucky man at the mountain entrance to appear. However, it had been almost an hour before the lucky man at the mountain entrance appeared, and Ye Tian had a bad feeling about it. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the lucky man at the mountain entrance walking in from outside.
"Hehe, since you've come, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" When the lucky man at the mountain entrance saw Ye Tian getting up and about to leave, he immediately smiled and said.
"Heh, you went there for so long just to find these two helpers? You people of the Tartarus Division actually became so cowardly in your lives? " Ye Tian lightly smiled when he heard this.
"What did you say?" When the lucky man at the mountain entrance heard this, he was immediately surprised. The two black-robed elders behind him simultaneously raised their heads and stared at Ye Tian. Ye Tian looked at the two of them and discovered that they did not have any pupils. Their entire eyeball was pitch black.
Hehe, how did I, Ye, get it right? The beggars on both sides of the streets of Xinan are probably dead because of you guys absorbing their vitality. " Ye Tian continued to speak with a faint smile.
"I didn't expect an outsider like you to understand the situation in this city so well. I can't help but to say that I'm impressed, but unfortunately, you went to the wrong place, so maybe I'll keep you here today." Milords, this person's cultivation seems to not be weak. If we absorb his blood essence and life force, the two sirs will definitely have a huge increase in cultivation. As the lucky man spoke, he turned around and bowed to the two elders.
The two old men didn't have any expression on their faces when they heard this. They only nodded slightly and then looked towards Ye Tian. When Ye Tian saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly. His divine sense inadvertently scanned the two of them, but he discovered that his divine sense was unable to detect the existence of these two people.
"This Nine Serenities is indeed strange. My Divine Sense could not detect it, and this is the first time I've encountered something like the Eye of Space. Even though I could see it with my eyes, my Divine Sense could not detect it." Ye Tian muttered in his heart with an alert expression.
After staring at Ye Tian for a while, the two old men suddenly spoke up at the same time, "Late stage Soul Formation, abundant blood essence, excellent muscles and bones. You can refine a blood slave." After saying that, the two of them instantly dashed towards Ye Tian. Ye Tian only saw two afterimages. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain from his chest.
When the two elders saw that Ye Tian was sent flying, they did not immediately give chase, but instead stopped chasing him, a blood-red ball of light appeared in their hands at the same time, filled with thick blood essence. The moment the blood colored ball appeared, the entire room was filled with the stench of blood, causing Ye Tian to feel suffocated, but on the other hand, the lucky man at the mountain entrance seemed to enjoy this smell, as he greedily sucked in a few mouthfuls of the blood qi that were emitted from the ball of light.
Following which, the two elders extended their left hands and pointed at the bloody ball of light floating in the palm of their right hands. "Absorb the blood essence," they said in a low voice. Following which, the two balls of blood light directly floated out of the two elders' palms and floated in the study of the Lucky Man at the mountain entrance. Immediately, the entire study turned blood-red, and Ye Tian felt a huge suction force come from the two balls of blood light. Ye Tian's blood essence involuntarily gathered at his chest, as if it wanted to break through the barrier and enter the ball of blood light.
Only the heavens knew that this matter couldn't be messed with. Facing these two cultivators of the Nine Serenities, who couldn't be detected by spiritual sense, Ye Tian had to be very careful. Afterwards, Ye Tian silently circulated the 'Sacred Heart Scripture' in his heart as he circulated all the spirit energy in his body to resist the suction force.
When the two elders saw that Ye Tian was actually able to resist the suction force of the two blood-red light balls, the two of them immediately looked at each other, and once again used their hand incantations. One by one, black qi wrapped around the two fingers and entered the blood-red light balls.
Ye Tian knew that he couldn't continue like this, so he shouted in a low voice, "Demon God's Physique." He instantly transformed into the shape of a golden giant, simultaneously using the Sky Flipping Seal to attack the two blood colored balls in front of him.
As the Heaven Flipping Seal struck the two blood-colored balls, the two elders instantly stopped their magic incantations. As the Heaven Flipping Seal approached them, the two of them instantly sucked in the two blood-colored balls of light, and the two blood-colored balls quickly returned to their hands. Afterwards, the two of them simultaneously extended their left hands, and the two pitch-black palm imprints instantly collided against Ye Tian's Heaven Flipping Seal.
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out and the entire City Lord's Mansion was flattened to the ground. Ye Tian and the two old men who were near the center of the explosion were also blown away, but the moment the two old men were blown away, their bodies instantly disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already a thousand feet away, appearing as though they were uninjured. Ye Tian was not so unlucky, although during the explosion, Ye Tian Tian had used the Nine Feathered Heaven Tactic and retreated quickly, but he was still heavily injured.
"Damn it, how could those two guys be fine?" Ye Tian struggled to get up as he stared at the two elders from the Tartarus bloodline and cursed in a low voice.
"Bastard, you actually destroyed the City Lord's Mansion. You deserve to die a thousand deaths. Milords, please quickly capture and kill this bastard." When the lucky man at the mountain entrance saw the City Lord's Mansion being razed to the ground, he immediately spoke to the two elders with a furious expression.
The two of them nodded slightly when they heard this, before turning into shadows once again to charge at Ye Tian. Ye Tian did not dare to face him, and immediately activated the Earth Armor, before blasting the two elders with the Heaven Punishing Seal. The two elders instantly turned into two balls of black energy, causing Ye Tian's Heaven Punishing Seal to strike the air, and after that, the two elders once again turned into humanoid forms as they headed towards Ye Tian.
"Dammit, what kind of monster is that?! It can't even attack me?!" Ye Tian immediately became furious when he saw this. However, Ye Tian Ye did not panic. He activated the green wings on his back and retreated rapidly. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand while his left hand constantly formed finger seals.
As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, eyes appeared in his right palm. It was the Eye of the Abyss. When the Eye of the Abyss was opened, a black light immediately shot towards the two elders.
"Didn't you see through the opponent's weakness and instigate fear? "Hurry up and help me deal with these two fellows." Ye Tian shouted to the Eye of the Abyss in his palm.
"Hehe, that is naturally not difficult, those two fellows should be of the demonic type, but their blood seems to be even more evil than mine, and dealing with them is also not an easy task. First, try to use your willpower to suppress them and help them, and then I will display the special ability of the Eye of the Abyss to arouse the fear in their hearts, making them run blindly, but when you directly attack them, it will definitely be effective. "You must know that no matter how evil the Evil Demon is, there is always something to fear." The Eye of the Abyss said with a smile.
"You mean by using the will of the Emperor of the Underworld? "However, if that's the case, I will have to release my soul. Then, the Nine Serenities Division is most proficient in dealing with the souls of others. Is it dangerous for me to recklessly release my soul just like that?" Ye Tian began to hesitate when he heard this.
Ye Tian was still considering this, but the two elders wouldn't give him the chance to slowly consider it. They instantly appeared in the sky, one in front of the other, their right hands forming claws as they clawed at Ye Tian.
Because these two elders still wanted Ye Tian's blood essence, they did not kill them. They just wanted to capture Ye Tian, so they quickly spoke up from the abyss in their right palm: "Hurry up and release your soul and use the will of the Emperor of the Underworld to suppress these two old guys. Otherwise, you will not be able to attack them."
"All right. I'll believe you once. " As Ye Tian spoke, he instantly released his soul outside his body.
