C47 City Lord's Mansion

Previously, Immortal Master Liu's attitude towards Li Yi and the two of them had already let everyone know that these two foreign young men were also Immortal Master Liu and his companion. Because of this, the soldier's attitude towards Li Yi and Immortal Master Liu was much more courteous; even though Li Yi wasn't wearing a Daoist robe, the soldier commander still bestowed him the title of Dao leader.

"It's nothing, I just have a lot of strength."

Li Yi smiled.

"Strong strength? What kind of ability is that? "

The soldier was stunned. The surrounding Taoists, civilians and officials were also stunned. Then, someone started to mock him in a low voice.

"I thought it was some great skill! If you have more strength, how can you call that skill? "

"My cow is also quite strong. Could it be that my cow is also a strange person?"

As the crowd discussed amongst themselves, Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi frowned. How could they, as cultivators, not know about this!

The more powerful one was, the more likely it was that the problem would arise. One must know that the strength of a cultivator was directly related to their cultivation and the strength of their body.

In general, once one reached the 1st level of the Qi Cultivating Stage, they would have 1000 Jin of strength, and with every increase in level, their strength would increase by 1000 Jin. Therefore, the higher the cultivation, the more strength they would have.

Li Yi looked at the crowd's reaction and did not say anything. He glanced at a large stone lion at the city gate and pushed them away as he walked over.

The tip of his foot lightly flicked at the bottom of the stone lion, and a stone lion that was as tall as a person appeared in Li Yi's hand.

Li Yi gently weighed the stone lion in one hand, like he was weighing a small wooden ball. The surrounding citizens, officials, and Taoists were all stunned.

"Good, what great strength. That stone lion should have at least several thousand jin of it!"

"This Taoist was not wrong, how is this a match for strength, it's simply a godly strength!"

"With just this godly power, he's already considered a strange man!"

If others were surprised, then Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi were!

The stone lion was as tall as a person and was not made out of ordinary stones. It was made from the same kind of heavy stone as the walls of Yue Su City, which weighed at least tens of thousands of pounds. Without the strength of a Qi Disciple level 10, it was impossible to lift it up, let alone a light one like Li Yi.

Immortal Master Liu was sitting on a chair resting. He immediately jumped up when he saw this scene. The expression on his face instantly turned incomparably respectful.

Regardless of their origins, they were at least at the 10th level of the Refinement Stage. They were definitely not people that he and Zhang Tianzhi, two little rogue cultivators at the 2nd level of the Refinement Stage, could afford to offend. Regardless of whether the other party was here to steal their money or not, he would have to serve them first and not offend them!

"Immortal Master Liu, Master Zhang, I wonder if my strength is sufficient enough to enter the City Lord's Mansion?"

Li Yi looked at Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang Tian Shi with a smile that wasn't a smile, causing their scalps to go numb. Fellow Daoist Li is truly a god! This way, of course we can enter the City Lord's Mansion! "

"Then may I ask the two Fellow Daoists to be the referees for the two of us?"

"Yes, of course, I can recommend Fellow Daoist Li and Senior Martial Sister Lin, it's my honor!"

Immortal Master Liu's face was full of smiles, and he spoke first, "Today, all judicial affairs in the Japanese Temple will be suspended, so let's call it a day. This Immortal will first recommend the two of you to meet the City Lord. "

"This teacher is willing to recommend the two of you! "Let's go, let's go together!"

Upon realizing that he was half a beat too late, Zhang shi hurriedly echoed his words.

At this moment, the Immortal Master and the Heavenly Master did not have any arrogance at all, rushing to lead the way in front of the crowd, with smiles plastered on their faces as they tried to curry favor with the others, causing the entire city to be dumbfounded.

Just what kind of background did these two foreign young men and women have!?

"..."

Under the attentive guidance of Master Liu and Master Zhang, Li Yi pulled Leng Linglong's hand and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

On the way here, Li Yi noticed that something was wrong.

On the surface, Yue Su City still looked as prosperous as before, but upon closer observation, one would notice that the people on the streets were all listless and listless, without a trace of vitality. Some of the shops were already closed, showing signs of decline. Beneath the city walls, people could be seen fleeing from all directions in the corners of the city.

It seemed that the area affected by the drought was not small!

Li Yi frowned and his expression gradually darkened.

"May I know where Fellow Daoist Li and your esteemed senior sister are meditating in the Immortal Mountain?"

With a face full of smiles, Immortal Master Liu once again inquired about the origins of Li Yi and the other person.

From his point of view, for them to have such a high level of cultivation at this age, Li Yi and Li Jun must have a fixed level of mastery. They were at least core disciples of a cultivator clan, or even disciples of a small immortal sect.

As for the Five Great Immortal Sects, he didn't even think about it. In his eyes, the disciples of the Five Great Immortal Sects were not people from the same world as them.

However, there was one thing that he was sure of, and that was that Li Yi and Han Ying Xue were not people a rogue cultivator like him could compare to.

"The two of us are not from the Tianfeng Empire, and we are not rogue cultivators."

Li Yi did not want to talk about their origins in any more words, so he spoke vaguely. After that, he smiled at the two and said, "The two of you should be local cultivators, right?"

"That's right, This Penniless Priest is a citizen of this Yue Su city. He has been travelling for many years and was lucky enough to cultivate the Immortal Path. He knows one or two techniques!" Of course, compared to Fellow Daoist Li, this was not even worth mentioning! I hope that you can give me some pointers when you have the time.

Immortal Master Liu said with a flattering smile.

"This Penniless Priest's situation is similar to Brother Liu's, he's also a local rogue cultivator."

However, he concealed his past experience as a disciple of the Golden Cauldron Sect. After all, he had been expelled from the Golden Cauldron Sect because he had made a mistake. Normally, he could fool the disciples of the Golden Cauldron Sect by giving himself face as a disciple of the Golden Cauldron Sect.

"When a great calamity descends, there will always be a certain amount of foreboding. This drought must have been going on for quite some time, right? Don't you guys find anything wrong? "

The moment these words came out, Immortal Master Liu and Zhang Tianzhi's expressions changed.

"Oh, fellow Daoist Li. This Penniless Priest has been training wholeheartedly in the Clear Wind Monastery all year round. This time, I was invited by the mayor to come and beg for rain. I really don't know much about the details of this drought." Furthermore, there are some things that would be bad if you knew more. Everyone is just asking for money, there's no need to get to the bottom of this! "

Immortal Master Liu's face showed a trace of fear; he didn't mean what he said.

Zhang shi was hesitant as well. He averted his eyes, unwilling to speak any further.

There was a hidden story!

Li Yi and Leng Linglong looked at each other and saw this conclusion flashing through each other's eyes.

Right now, Li Yi and Liu Yi were only playing the roles of ordinary cultivators. They didn't reveal the identity of the Misty Pavilion's disciples so that they could secretly investigate and find out the real reason for the drought.

Since the two of them didn't want to talk, he didn't ask any further. If you stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a period of time, you will eventually find out.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The several hundred bodyguards all knew Immortal Master Liu and Master Zhang Tian. Upon seeing that the two of them had brought their men here, they immediately let them in.

The city lord's mansion took up a lot of space. The palace was carved with jade and was extremely luxurious. It was divided into the front and the back.

The front hall was a large hall that received officials from all around, wealthy merchants and influential figures, and discussed military and political matters. The back hall was the residence of the city lord, and only important distinguished guests and officials who had received permission were allowed to enter.

As they walked towards the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, they would occasionally run into officials walking past them. The moment they saw Liu and Zhang Ye, they hurriedly bowed and greeted them.

"Immortal Master Liu, Zhang Tianzhi!"

In front of these officials, Liu Zhang's duo naturally looked like they had reached the level of an expert as they nodded their heads in a very grand manner.

"Where is the mayor now?"

Immortal Master Liu stopped a low level official and asked.

"The mayor is currently setting up a feast in the backyard, inviting all sorts of strange talents to discuss the matter of curing the drought and asking for rain."

The low ranking official replied respectfully.

"Alright, this immortal master understands. Go!"

Immortal Master Liu waved his hand and dismissed the low-level officials.

"How many strange people are there in the Mayor's mansion?"

Leng Linglong asked curiously.

"Around a hundred!"

"So many?"

Li Yi was slightly surprised. "They're all Immortal cultivators?"

"Not really. "There is only a small portion of Immortal cultivators. The rest are all experts with special expertise in drought and water management who were invited by the city governor to treat the drought."

The four of them chatted as they entered the backyard.

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, there was a huge garden. There were pavilions, flowers, birds, fish and bugs, as well as a large lake. The pavilion in the middle of the lake was where the City Lord held his banquet.

Although the drought outside was quite severe, the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion didn't seem to be affected too much. It was still surrounded by fake mountains and clear lake water.

In the pavilion, there was a young woman with a purple phoenix crown on her head. She was the lord of Yue Susu city - the fourth princess of the Kingdom of Tianfeng, Zhao Miaoxue.

There were not many descendants from the royal family in the Tianfeng Empire, so all of them were sent to different cities to serve as city lords.

At this moment, the pavilion was already filled with guests.

Seated on the right were the first and second rank officials of Yue Su City. There were civil servants and military officers, all of whom Zhao Miaoxue relied on as her core strength.

Sitting on the left was a strange person hired by Zhao Miaoxue as a guest. There were cultivators, warriors, and most of them were skilled experts in drought and water management. However, in the eyes of Li Yi and Liu Ming, the one with the highest cultivation was an old man with silver hair sitting next to Zhao Miaoxue.

At this moment, the pavilion was filled with wine. Seeing Li Yi and the other three enter the pavilion, everyone's attention was on them.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, Fellow Daoist Zhang, it seems like the two dao friends' method of opening the altar today has failed again!" After more than ten days have passed, I still can't see any effect from your law! "

A cultivator dressed as a Confucian Scholar chuckled and said in a mocking tone.
