C50 Suspicious City Lord

"You alone?" Huang Xiong asked, puzzled. He tried his best to open his tiny eyes on his fat face. He carefully looked at Duanmu Kuang from head to toe. He looked left and right, but he did not find anything special about Duanmu Kuang. This young man in front of him was indeed an outer circle disciple from the Five Mountain Sect who only had a Mid Xiantian cultivation base. But now, this young man said that he was here to accept this mission. He also promised that he would eliminate the Flower Picking Pirate who had an Essence Opening Stage cultivation base.

Huang Xiong was in a trance, as if he had just heard a fantasy. Could a Mid Xiantian expert kill an Essence Opening Stage? Even if the combat strength of a sect disciple far exceeded that of a martial artist of the same level, this was obviously impossible. His own cultivation was at the high level of the Xiantian realm. Even if he fought a Great Perfection of Innate Stage, he would only be tortured. Not to mention, it was a middle Xiantian realm versus an Essence Opening Stage. Duanmu Kuang was full of confidence. However, he didn't believe it.

But why would the Five Mountain Sect send an outer circle disciple like this? When he asked for help from the Five Mountain Sect, he had clearly told them about the cultivation of the Flower Picking Pirate. Could it be that this outer sect disciple, who was only at the intermediate Xiantian realm, could really deal with an Essence Opening Stage warrior? When this thought appeared in his mind, Huang Xiong couldn't help but be shocked by his bold speculation. This was too crazy.

At this moment, a voice rang in his ears, waking him up from his thoughts.

"Master of Huang family, are you alright?" It was Duanmu Kuang who spoke. There was a hint of impatience in his tone. After Huang Xiong asked him a question, he fell into deep thought alone. He was unhappy that Huang Xiong ignored him.

"Uh... Look at my brain. I have forgotten about my distinguished guest. I am getting old and my brain is not working well. Hehe... Little brother Duanmu, please, please come in. "

Huang Xiong regained his senses and chuckled. Then, he respectfully welcomed Duanmu Kuang into the mansion. Although he had some doubts about Duanmu Kuang's ability, he didn't dare show any neglect. After all, Duanmu Kuang was sent by the Five Mountain Sect, which represented the reputation of the Five Mountain Sect. The Huang family was just a small family that was attached to the Five Mountain Sect, so he naturally had to be respectful to Duanmu Kuang.

Duanmu Kuang could only secretly roll his eyes at Huang Xiong's' hehe '. However, he didn't say much as he followed Huang Xiong into Huang Prefecture. This Huang family was indeed worthy of being called a family of alchemists. The courtyard was filled with herbs. Duanmu Kuang didn't know many of them, but he had seen some of them before. They were all valuable items. The entire courtyard was filled with medicinal herbs. The huge value made him secretly speechless.

Huang Xiong brought Duanmu Kuang to the living room. After instructing the maid to prepare the tea, he said to another maid, "The distinguished guest of Five Mountain Sect is here. Go and invite the young lady here."

The maid answered and went to invite him. Not long after, Huang Wan'er came over. Even though Duanmu Kuang was used to seeing Zhong Lingyan's beauty, his eyes had become very picky. But at this moment, his eyes could not help but light up.

Huang Wan'er was indeed a very beautiful woman. She had a pair of curved eyebrows. Her bright and moving big eyes were like a wave of autumn water, her lips were exquisite and full. It looked like a ripe peach. Anyone who saw it would want to take a bite. No wonder the flower picker Amihu wanted her.

Although she was a woman, she was not afraid of strangers. After entering the hall, she walked to Duanmu Kuang with light steps. After bowing to Duanmu Kuang, she returned to her seat. Her manner was calm and dignified, which made people have a good impression of her.

Then Huang Xiong told Duanmu Kuang the whole story from the beginning to the end. Duanmu Kuang also asked a few questions. Soon, he understood the details of the whole thing.

It was said that the flower picker Amihu had committed many cases in Ye City. Every time Amihu did a case, he would inform the other party first. When the other party was on high alert, he would come and take away the girl that he had taken a fancy to, and he succeeded again and again. Even though the Prefecture had sent out a lot of men, none of them were able to catch a glimpse of him.

This made Duanmu Kuang feel strange. Logically speaking, the people of the Prefecture had already surrounded Amihu's target. Even if these people couldn't catch Amihu, there shouldn't be any reason for them to not see his shadow.

Unless Amihu had these guards as spies, or if Amihu was one of them, this was the only way to make sense. Only in this way could Amihu capture these people without anyone knowing.

Duanmu Kuang asked a few questions and found out that a girl had been taken away for the first time. In every case that Amihu committed in the future, there would be people from the Prefecture who would be the guards of the victims' homes. However, the girl that was targeted was still taken away. Those guards seemed to be of no use at all. Not even Amihu's shadow could be seen, which further proved his theory.

In the following listening, Huang Xiong's words had given Duanmu Kuang a hint of a clue. He had some doubts about the identity of Amihu, the flower picker.

The Huang family was a family of alchemists that was passed down from their ancestors, and Huang Xiong himself was a Human Grade alchemist. Alchemists were divided into five grades, Heaven Grade, Earth Grade, Yellow Level and Human Grade. Among them, the lowest grade was the Mortal Grade, and he had just stepped into the Mortal Grade, but that was all. He was also the only alchemist in Ye City who had entered the next level, and was the only one in the entire city. There were no other names, which showed how rare it was for an alchemist to enter the next realm.

Huang Xiong had even managed to concoct a Yellow Level pill by chance. This was an extraordinary thing. One should know that even a Mortal Alchemist wouldn't have a very high success rate in concocting a Mortal Pill. Furthermore, the success rate of concocting a Yellow Level pill could be said to be one in a trillion.Edited by: Lifer, Fingerfogger, Fingerfogger, Fingerfogger, Fingerfogger, Fingerfogger, Fingerfogger, Fingerfogger, Fingerfox Huang Xiong, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, accidentally spread the news. He didn't expect that it would bring him a lot of trouble.

According to what Huang Xiong said, the reason why Amihu had his eyes on Huang Wan'er was different from the other families. The other families that he had his eyes on were only taken away by his daughter, but Amihu had his eyes on the Huang family for pills. He threatened the Huang family to take Huang Wan'er away even if they didn't hand over the Yellow Level pill.

If it was any other ordinary Yellow Level pill, Huang Xiong would have given it to Amihu even though he felt bad for it. However, this pill wasn't an ordinary Yellow Level pill. It was a pill that could improve a warrior's cultivation base. As long as it was a martial cultivator at Essence Opening Stage that hadn't reached the Great Perfection of Essence Opening Stage, it could increase one's cultivation base by a small level. It was obvious how heaven defying this pill was.

Martial artists cultivated according to the rules and followed the rules as they slowly walked forward. Wanting to increase their cultivation level required countless amounts of time. And the allure of a medicinal pill that could help martial artists directly increase by a small level without cultivating could be imagined how great the allure of it was to martial artists. Abyssus itself was a martial cultivator at Essence Opening Stage. It was not strange for it to have designs on it.

However, this Yellow Level pill was too precious. If it was put up for auction, furthermore, Huang Xiong was an alchemist. Naturally, he wasn't willing to let a mere flower picker get his hands on this pill. Therefore, he asked for help from the Five Mountain Sect. As a result, Duanmu Kuang had rushed over after accepting this mission, and the deadline that Amihu had set was tonight.

When Duanmu Kuang heard this, the identity of the thief Amihu became clearer in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, a servant of the Huang family rushed into the hall.

"Master, the City Lord is requesting an audience outside the door!" The servant ran in and reported loudly to Huang Xiong.

"The City Lord is here? Quickly invite him in!" Huang Xiong was stunned for a moment, then he ordered happily. To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in Duanmu Kuang. It would be different if he had the help of the City Lord, but now that the City Lord had arrived... The meaning was obvious. Who didn't know that Amihu would come to his house to capture people tonight? Presumably, Amihu had successfully committed crimes under the watchful eyes of the guards of the Prefecture, which had infuriated the City Lord. The City Lord must have come to help in catching Amihu.

Very quickly, a middle-aged man was led by a servant at home. He walked in. He had the nose of a leopard-headed lion and wore a purple robe. His body was covered in a purple robe. He had a dignified aura. He spoke as soon as he entered the room, "Haha, Master of Huang family, long time no see. I heard that Amihu is coming to capture Wan'er's niece tonight. I'm not a talented man, and I'm willing to lend you a hand. I hope Master of the Huang family won't blame me for coming uninvited. "

Then, he asked Duanmu Kuang, "This little brother is a young genius of Five Mountain Sect. Is he here for the matter of Abyssan?"

" How dare you? How dare you? I, Huang, am endlessly grateful that the City Lord is willing to lend a helping hand. " Huang Xiong couldn't contain his joy. The City Lord was indeed here to help. This time, he could be at ease. With the City Lord here, nothing would go wrong.

Duanmu Kuang just returned a slight bow, and his brows unconsciously furrowed. He immediately relaxed. Although the city lord acted very casually, the trace of surprise that flashed across his eyes when he looked at Huang Wan'er was caught by Duanmu Kuang. Duanmu Kuang also felt that the city lord was secretly checking his cultivation level with his Divine Sense. Moreover, the arrival of the city lord was too coincidental. He had just arrived in Huang family not long ago. The city lord had followed him here. Duanmu Kuang had already understood the reason behind this. Although he felt relieved in his heart, his facial expression remained unchanged.

After discussing for a while, they decided on a plan. The City Lord would lead his men to guard the outer perimeter. Duanmu Kuang was arranged to stay in the room next to Huang Wan'er's room. After discussing it, the City Lord said he would come back at night.

Looking at the figure of the City Lord walking further and further away, Duanmu Kuang secretly gave Huang Wan'er a look. Not long after, Huang Wan'er claimed that she would bring Duanmu Kuang to check the room. Huang Xiong was the only one left in the hall.
