A poor guy, Yan Nantian arrives

Opening it, he saw several thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, some first and second-grade Medicinal Pills, various Spirit Medicines and Materials; besides these, there was nothing else.

“Is he a pauper?”

Shen Fan put away the qiankun bag, then picked up the Heaven-Shrouding Cloak from the ground.

However, this Heaven-Shrouding Cloak had already been destroyed by the Six Paths Soul Suppressing Nails.

But from its Rank, it was still a Magical Artifact that had reached the Medium Grade level.

“I wonder if Senior Sister can fix it?”

Shen Fan thought to himself, putting it away as well.

As for the corpse…

Shen Fan naturally didn't waste it.

A Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, refined into a Corpse Puppet, would also have decent power!

After dealing with this old fellow, Shen Fan quickly returned to Canglan City.

…

…

At this moment.

In Canglan City, an army radiating an aura of iron and blood, like a mighty lion, marched through the streets of Canglan City.

“This is… the Northwest Guardian King’s army!”

“Oh my goodness, the renowned Northwest Guardian King has actually come to our Canglan City!”

“General Yan is our great hero; if it weren't for him guarding the Northwest Heavenly Gate, our Canglan State would probably have suffered from the iron cavalry of Western Liang and the Northern Barbarians!”

…

…

Looking closely.

They saw the burly and imposing Yannan City, riding a tall horse, clad in armor, walking through the streets of Canglan City.

He came to Canglan City this time to plan the military defenses of the Northwest.

He wanted to incorporate this prefecture into a rescue area for the Northwest's emergency defense.

Once a crisis occurred, Canglan City and the seven or eight cities near the Northwest Heavenly Gate would need to provide rapid support.

The almost complete decimation of the people in Yandang City, such a tragic cost, made Yannan City even more vigilant about the military defenses of the Northwest.

City Lord’s Mansion!

When Yannan City led his army to the Canglan City Lord’s Mansion.

He was told that City Lord Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord was not present.

“Where did your City Lord go?”

“There was a rogue causing trouble in the city, and the City Lord led people to suppress him!”

The steward of the City Lord’s Mansion respectfully said.

“However, before the City Lord left, he instructed that if General Yan arrived, General Yan should wait in the mansion first!”

“Oh? What kind of rogue requires the City Lord himself to suppress?”

Yannan City immediately became interested upon hearing this.

The steward said: “It is said to be a Family that migrated from another place; there are Cultivators within the Family who are arrogant and act as they please in our Canglan City!”

“Such a thing exists?”

Yannan City was immediately enraged upon hearing this.

“What if they are Cultivators? This Canglan land is the territory of our Great Li Kingdom; even people from the Four Great Immortal Sects cannot act as they please!”

“Go! Take me to see!”

…

…

The Shen Family.

City Lord Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord and the Zhao Family were helpless against the Five Elements Flag.

They could only stare at the Shen Family from inside and outside.

“Shen Wanshan, you must consider this carefully. Elder Sun is a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator guarding the entire Canglan State. If you don’t want your son to die prematurely, come out immediately!”

Zhao Hongliang threatened fiercely.

“Your son is only at the Qi Refinement Stage. So what if he is a Tianxuan Sect Disciple? If you don’t want him to die, all of you come out. As long as you marry your daughter to my son, this matter will be settled!”

Upon hearing this, the Shen Family immediately became anxious.

They were also familiar with the Realms of Cultivators.

They knew that for Cultivators, each Rank was a step, and once a major step was crossed, it was like heaven and earth.

If Shen Fan went out, he would truly be in mortal danger!

“Big Brother, even if we die, we cannot harm Shen Fan!”

Shen Qianshan said painfully.

“Father, Eldest Uncle, I’ll marry, I’ll marry Zhao Tianyou. Let’s go out. We can’t let Brother Shen Fan be in danger for our sakes!”

Shen Ziyuan cried, her face streaked with tears.

“Let’s go out!”

Just then, Shen Fans mother also sighed and said.

“To exchange the lives of our entire Family for Shen Fan’s life, it’s worth it!”

Shen Wanshan looked at his entire Family, then thought of his son, gritted his teeth, and nodded heavily.

Then he shouted loudly to the outside: “Good! City Lord, Patriarch Zhao, we will keep our word. As long as we come out, you will spare my son, right?”

Upon hearing this, City Lord Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord and Zhao Hongliang’s eyes lit up, and they quickly responded: “That’s right! As long as you come out, this matter can be perfectly resolved. You don’t want your son to be killed by Elder Sun, do you!”

Upon hearing this, the Shen Family became even more anxious.

However, when they prepared to go out, they found that the Five Elements Flag, whether from the inside or the outside, was impenetrable.

One must know that this was originally used to trap and kill enemies, so how could one get out from inside?

“This, this, this… we can’t get out!”

The Shen Family shouted anxiously.

“Stop pretending, this is a Formation. You can’t get in from the outside, but you can definitely get in from the inside!”

Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord shouted.

“It’s true, we really can’t get out!”

The Shen Family, inside the Five Elements Flag, were like flies trying to get out from all directions, but there was no way.

“Damn it, I don’t know if Elder Sun killed Shen Fan. How much time has passed? How can he not even deal with an ant at the Qi Refinement Stage?”

City Lord Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord said anxiously.

And just at this moment.

Suddenly, someone rushed in from outside the door.

This person was precisely the steward of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon entering, this person hurriedly came to Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord and shouted: “City Lord, General Yan has arrived!”

“What? So fast! Where is he now?”

“He arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion earlier. Hearing that you, City Lord, personally went to suppress the rogue, General Yan, who hates evil as if it were his enemy, personally brought his army!”

“Haha… excellent!”

Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord immediately burst into laughter, then led his people out to greet him.

And at this moment.

Inside the Formation, upon hearing that General Yan had arrived, the Shen Family’s faces turned ashen.

“What should we do? General Yan has a request from the City Lord, so he will definitely target us!”

“I heard General Yan is the Northwest Guardian King. If we tell him our predicament, maybe we can even get his protection!”

“That’s impossible! Why would General Yan risk offending the City Lord to save us?”

…

At this point, the Shen Family’s expressions darkened again.

Looking over.

They saw a burly middle-aged man with a powerful stride walking in rapidly.

Behind him, battle-hardened soldiers, fully armed, filed in.

An aura of killing intent, like a flood pouring in, made everyone in the courtyard hold their breath.

Looking further, the leader stood tall, like Mount Tai pressing down, forcing everyone to lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

“General Yan! Your subordinate, the City Lord of Canglan City, Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord!”

Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord stepped forward diligently, cupping his hands and saying.

In terms of Rank, Yannan City was a first-Rank military general. Although Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord was the City Lord of Canglan State Prefecture, he was only third-Rank, two Ranks below Yannan City.

Seeing Yannan City refer to himself as a subordinate was only natural.

Coupled with the killing intent emanating from Yannan City, a City Lord like Zheng Kaiguo, City Lord, who had never seen blood, was like a chick seeing an eagle in front of him.
