"Mayor Li, we've already waited for more than a month. Is this kid called Fang Ling still not here?" A cultivator from a mere small place actually doesn't know how to appreciate a favor. Who knows, I might have to wait for him to come and test him! "

In the City Lord's Mansion, Li Ling expressionlessly sat at the seat of honor. A few young cultivators were seated below. Each of them had a very arrogant expression on their faces. At the same time, they also had an expression of indignation. One of them asked Li Ling as he lifted his eyelids.

Li Ling laughed bitterly in his heart when he heard this. He knew that these people were unhappy that Fang Ling did not show himself, so he did not pay much attention to his tone and only glanced at the expressionless Zhang Yunshen. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he looked at the cultivator that had just spoken and said indifferently: "This city lord has said that Fang Ling will be back at the latest one month after he leaves due to some matters. For a mere disciple of the Fa Li realm like you to question this city lord's decision?!"

"Hehe!" Since City Lord Li's position was high and influential, Liu Jie, who was only a disciple at the peak of the Fa Li realm, naturally did not dare to question or offend him. "We came all the way here for the sake of this so-called genius. Now that he has not shown his face for the past month, from what I see, if he is not hiding something, he is just pretending and doesn't dare to show his face. He is one of those people who have put on an act."

Liu Jie looked at Zhang Yunshen, who still had an indifferent expression. He seemed to have comprehended something as he cupped his hands towards Li Ling and spoke with a smile on his face.

However, the smile on his face was mixed with a trace of ridicule.

When Liu Jie said this, Li Ling's expression suddenly changed. A burst of aura that belonged to someone at the peak of the Dao Embryo Stage burst out and his eyes flashed with a cold light, "Oh! In your opinion, could it be that the countless cultivators in the prefectural city of Clear Sky are blind? Can't they tell the difference between a genius and a fool? Or do you think that you are a genius enough to defeat the top ten geniuses and attain greatness in one step? "

Although Li Ling said these words to Liu Jie, his eyes were looking straight at Zhang Yunshen.

If his guess was correct, then the reason why Liu Jie said such a thing was probably because of Zhang Yunshen.

"Cough, cough ?" Mayor Li is a magnanimous man, please do not bother about Liu Jie's indiscretion. However, Liu Jie's words weren't completely useless. How could Fang Ling enter the Alliance to nurture the core? Could it be that he defeated Yun Kuang with just him? " Since Zhang Yunshen had already prepared himself, he naturally had a reason for coming here. At this moment, he swept his gaze towards his junior brother who was seated, as he said with a faint smile: "Honestly speaking, all the cultivators seated here are likely to have such strength.

"Originally, I wanted to personally verify the strength of the other party, but now that the other party has not appeared for a month, it is clear that he has given up this trial opportunity. Since this is the case, Yun Sheng hopes that City Lord Li can uphold the principle of fairness and announce the other party's failure to the public.

"Hahaha ?" Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! "

He coldly stared at Zhang Yunshen and ridiculed, "You can indeed defeat Yun Kuang, but your cultivation is already at the early Dao Fetal Stage. As for the others, they are over twenty years old. Do you really think that you can call them geniuses at such an age?"

Li Ling's mocking gaze swept over the crowd, causing their expressions to change.

Zhang Yunshen's gaze turned cold. He then took a deep breath and said, "City Lord Li's words are wrong! There were countless fortuitous encounters in the world, and there were plenty of belated cultivators. For example, Qin Yue of the Divine King's sect only made his name after fifty years of age. At this moment, he was rumored to be an outer sect elder with a Nine-Striped Golden Core cultivation base. Why can't we be called geniuses! "

"A fortuitous encounter? Humph! "How laughable!" Li Ling sneered as he looked at Zhang Yunshen. He already understood why this person had come today. This was because he knew that Xiao Ya had a secret technique in her possession.

It was already difficult for him to act as though nothing had happened. His expression turned slightly gloomy as he said, "I believe City Lord Li is aware of the fact that if City Lord Li were to issue a declaration to give this spot to Yun Chen, then Yun Sheng would definitely have a good report on it!"

"Hehe ?" A good report? This City Lord wants a stalk of Heaven Sunflower Essence. Could it be that you, Zhang Yunshen, can obtain it? "

The ridicule on the corner of Li Ling's mouth became even stronger.

"You! Humph! City Lord Li seems to have complete confidence in that kid called Fang Ling! Heaven Sunflower Essence, how dare you think about it! No wonder you were able to take out the purple gold recommendation letter that only one City Lord has. However, I can only say that City Lord Li is destined to be disappointed! "

Upon hearing Li Ling's words, Zhang Yunshen's face finally turned pale. With a cold smile, he waved his hand and ordered Liu Jie and the rest, "Let's go! I will wait for a few more days and see what exactly is this genius that has caused City Lord Li to be so interested in! "

"..."

"Go ahead."

Li Guangli was holding a plump woman with a rosy cheeks and dressed in revealing clothes. He spoke indifferently to a cultivator who was only in the Foundation Establishment stage crawling at his feet.

"Yes, young master. "Today, Zhang Yunshen, Liu Jie and the rest ?" The cultivator quickly revealed the information he had received. He explained everything clearly, even describing the conversation between the few of them.

Hearing that, a sneer appeared on Li Guangli's face and he waved his hand to have the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator push him down. He pinched the girl in his arms and muttered to himself, "Hehe ?" It seemed that Zhang Yunshen could no longer sit still. Xiao Ya had left for some unknown reason, so she couldn't help but jump out. "It seems like the rumors about the existence of a secret technique within the Alliance are true. Since this is the case, then I might have to fight over it!"

"Master?" I wonder what you want to fight over? " The girl in his arms only had a martial arts cultivation. She was currently looking at Li Guangli with alluring eyes, and her soft hand lightly brushed against Li Guangli's chest.

"Oh, you're asking me what I want to fight for? "Of course it's to steal your beautiful body." Li Guangli, who was provoked by the woman, immediately became angry. He laughed evilly and fiercely pounced on the girl.

"Phew!" After a month, I have finally returned. However, my strength is dozens of times stronger than before I left! If I were to face Yun Kuang now, I would probably be able to destroy him with a single punch. "

This thought flashed through Fang Ling's mind as he looked at the front gate of the City Lord's Mansion walking over.

"Who are you? The Mayor's mansion is located in a very important area. No one is allowed to come near." Seeing Fang Ling approaching, two warriors at the ninth level of the Martial Dao beside the gate stopped him and one of them asked.

Seeing this, Fang Ling smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble you to report to Mayor Li that Fang Ling has returned."

As he spoke, Fang Ling took out the purple gold recommendation letter and it flashed in front of the two of them.

"Hu!"

Before the two guards could react, a figure appeared in front of Fang Ling in a flash and grabbed at the purple gold recommendation letter in Fang Ling's hand. Seeing this, Fang Ling frowned slightly. With a slight shake of his body, he kept the letter and looked at the person in front of him with displeasure.

"You are Fang Ling?"

Seeing that he did not manage to snatch the letter from Fang Ling, the man's face darkened, his nostrils flaring as he shouted at Fang Ling.

"Who are you?" Seeing this, Fang Ling's gaze turned cold. The other party's actions clearly showed that they did not come with good intentions. Naturally, he would not be nice to the other party.

"Me? Young man, listen carefully, I am the sixth disciple under the third elder, Liu Jie! I ask you, are you Fang Ling? " Liu Jie arrogantly revealed his identity, even looking at Fang Ling with disdain as he asked.

"So what if I am, so what if I am." Fang Ling looked at the arrogant expression on the other party's face and said coldly.

"Hahaha ?" That's good! "Now, I order you to hand over that purple gold recommendation letter. I will let you off this time, or else these two ants will be your fate!"

Liu Jie let out a cold laugh and struck out his palm towards the two martial artists at the ninth level of the martial path. The mana within the palm transformed into threads that instantly pierced through the dantian, crippling the two's cultivation.

"Humph!" "If we are to make a move on this cripple's future, could it be that the Third Elder's disciples are all people of such ruthlessness? Their actions are not even comparable to those of the evil way."

These few people, Zhang Yunshen, were at the early stage of the Dao Embryo Stage and appeared to be quite young. The rest of them were all in their early twenties and were all at the peak of the mana realm. At this moment, they were all looking at Fang Ling with cold expressions, as if they were unmoved by Liu Jie's actions.

This caused an uncontrollable rage to arise in Fang Ling's heart. This was the so-called righteous path! The evil way of killing people had a purpose, and this person had abolished their martial arts to frighten them!

"Are you trying to set an example? It's a pity that you found the wrong person! "

Fang Ling's eyes narrowed. He already had a killing intent towards Liu Jie. To still be able to cultivate to the Immortal Realm while viewing human life as grass, that was truly an ironic thought!

"Brat, hand over the purple gold recommendation letter. With your mere True Origin Stage cultivation, you do not have the qualifications to obtain it."

When Zhang Yunshen sensed Fang Ling's cultivation of the late stage of the True Essence realm, a sneer appeared on his face. Such a cultivation level was actually passed down as a genius, and he was even given a letter of recommendation by Li Ling with purple gold. Such a thought had actually popped into Zhang Yunshen's mind.

"Whether you have the qualification or not is not up to you to decide. If you have the ability, you can take it yourself!" When Fang Ling heard this, he instantly understood. This was probably what Li Ling meant when he said he would get the purple gold recommendation letter. Since it was a trouble, he naturally had to solve it.

"Hahaha ?" How dare a mere Zhen Yuan Stage cultivator act so arrogantly in front of us, Brother Zhang, let's see how I am going to deal with this country bumpkin from the Barrenlands! Flames filled the sky! "Searing!"

Liu Jie did not wait for the rest to make a move and loudly laughed. The mana in his body circulated as he struck out a palm towards Fang Ling. The rain of fire enveloped Fang Ling from all directions. From the looks of it, if Fang Ling was only in the True Origin Stage, even if he didn't die, he would instantly be severely injured!

"Humph!" Since you like the future of trash so much, then I will also let you have a taste! "

Pop!

The figure in the rain of fire shattered instantly, it was actually an afterimage, and at the same time, the sound of his Dantian shattering sounded out in front of everyone's ears. When they looked over, they saw Liu Jie vomiting blood as he was sent flying far away.

Ah!" "My cultivation base, senior brother, this little bastard actually crippled my cultivation!

Liu Jie's shrill scream instantly came from far away. In the next moment, beams of spiritual light shot towards the City Lord's Mansion. In the blink of an eye, over a hundred cultivators had gathered outside the City Lord's Mansion.
