Chapter 940 Night Visit to the City Lord's Mansion
All that was left for them was an empty shell, and inside was nothing but ruins.
The Tang Clan members had already entered Lüyuan City the day before.
Before dawn the next day, the Tang Clan members, dressed in black, appeared on the streets.
According to the location given by Honglian, the three forces were located on different streets, with the furthest distance between them being about ten miles, and the other two being only four miles apart.
Two of them are in the East City and one is in the South City.
The city lord's mansion is located in the north of the city, and Tang Lan even went there specifically to meet the city lord of Lüyuan City.
"Outsiders are not allowed in the City Lord's Mansion. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or I'll have to call for help!"
The guard standing at the door saw Tang Lan leading Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao toward the door, and then warned them in an unfriendly voice.
In his view, these people were nothing more than thrill-seeking young people in the city.
If they were to break into the mansion, all the guards would be punished by the city lord.
"Tell your city lord that there are guests requesting an audience at the gate!"
Tang Lan remained calm and spoke to the guard.
"Huh? Which academy do you students belong to, daring to cause trouble here!"
"If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Another observer, Tang Lan, and the others still refused to leave.
With a gloomy expression, he raised the long spear in his hand and walked towards Tang Lan and the others.
"Hmph, you dare to lay a hand on me? You're asking for trouble!"
Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper flared instantly. Without thinking twice, she grabbed the spear in the guy's hand and kicked it out.
With a loud bang, the armored guard was kicked away by Ma Xiaotao and crashed heavily into the gate of the city lord's mansion.
"What's going on? Quick, someone has trespassed into the city lord's mansion! Seize them!"
Hearing the sounds of fighting, more than twenty guards patrolling nearby rushed over and charged towards Tang Lan and the others.
Tang Ya looked utterly helpless; it seemed her original idea of a gentle negotiation was not going to work.
After half an incense stick,
boom! !
A loud noise suddenly came from inside the city lord's mansion.
It turned out that Tang Lan had punched the inner courtyard door open and was about to storm into the courtyard complex behind it.
"Who, who on earth is so audacious!"
Soon, a middle-aged man who had just hurriedly dressed arrived at the front garden, accompanied by his trusted aide.
"Lord Quheng, what an arrogant display of your official power! Don't you even look at what this is?"
Ma Xiaotao snorted and then flung out a Shrek Academy token.
After receiving the token, the city lord named Qu Heng examined it carefully for a moment, then his whole body trembled, and his face was full of shock.
Before the guy could even speak, Tang Ya tossed him a token and said, "And this too!"
On one side was the Shrek Academy token, and on the other side was the Tang Sect token.
After seeing the two tokens clearly, Qu Heng, the city lord of Lüyuan City, knelt down on the ground with a thud.
He then hurriedly begged for forgiveness, saying, "This humble official was unaware that you gentlemen were here. Please forgive me!"
Then, in front of the guards around him, he solemnly kowtowed and bowed to Tang Lan and the others.
The current head of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, Mu En, is also the honorary imperial tutor of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
That was the teacher of the Heavenly Soul Emperor, who once single-handedly saved the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.
These people have offended Shrek Academy. If the higher-ups find out, even if he is the lord of a city, he will probably be imprisoned.
After all, if Mu En is displeased, the Heavenly Soul Empire will fall into crisis again in the future, and if he just stands by and does nothing.
Then the entire Heavenly Soul Empire will be wiped out on the continent, especially now that the Heavenly Soul Empire is weak.
The Tang Clan also owed the empire a great debt of gratitude, and the emperor once issued a decree that all cities within the empire should provide the Tang Clan with as much convenience as possible.
Unexpectedly, after so much time had passed and he hadn't encountered any of these problems, trouble found him on its own tonight.
"Hmph, now you know you're guilty?"
"However, we're not here to punish you, but rather to ask for your help."
"Let's go inside and talk."
Ma Xiaotao and Tang Lan exchanged a glance. After receiving Tang Lan's approval, Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and patted the city lord on the shoulder, signaling him to stand up and speak.
The latest novel is first published here!
Inside the room of City Lord Qu Heng, Tang Lan and the others sat casually at the tea table.
Then Tang Ya got straight to the point: "Yun Shang Ya Ju has already submitted to my Tang Clan. Kuang Shi Zong, Zi Zhu Ting, and Feng Yue Lou have launched a sneak attack on Yun Shang Ya Ju's headquarters."
"We have already begun to suppress and compete for the remaining four branches. Tang Sect and Shrek Academy will definitely avenge this."
"What you need to do now is to keep your city lord's guard and the city defense army from getting involved in this matter."
"Tonight, these three forces will be completely wiped out in Lüyuan City."
Silence reigned, and although there was a faint candlelight in the room, it was still dim.
Qu Heng's eyes widened in disbelief; he had never expected these teenagers to be so ruthless.
But remembering the two tokens, he could only grit his teeth and make a firm decision, saying, "Please rest assured, the city defense army and the city lord's guard will definitely not appear in the area where these three forces are located tonight."
"But please try your best not to harm the civilians around you."
Qu Heng saw the seriousness and determination in Tang Lan and the others' eyes.
He understood that even if he disagreed, this would still happen tonight.
Rather than going against these people who have get-out-of-jail-free cards, it's better to do them a favor.
He was no ordinary person, but a true seven-ring Soul Saint. He could sense that there were three Soul Saints among the crowd.
There was another boy whose rank was so high that even he couldn't see through him, as if a layer of mist was emanating from him.
This made him suspect that the boy was very likely a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level.
Qu Heng might not care if the students were from other places, but it's a different story if they came from Shrek Academy.
Because over the years, every Soul Master who has emerged from that place has eventually become a powerful figure.
It can be said that Shrek Academy's strength lies not only in itself, but also in its incredibly wide network of connections throughout the Soul World.
It might not seem like much on a normal day, but whenever Shrek Academy makes a move, many forces throughout the Soul World will vie to cooperate.
Putting aside everything else, his old mentor, General Li Yuan of the Heavenly Soul Empire, was a student of Shrek Academy.
In this way, even if he didn't want to help, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
When Tang Lan and the others left, Qu Heng escorted them directly to the gate of the mansion.
They only stopped when Tang Lan and the others stopped them.
However, the area within several miles of the three factions' locations had already been completely surrounded by numerous Soul Masters dressed in black.
Tonight, the Tang Clan, along with all the Soul Masters from the Cloud Pavilion, mobilized in full force, with hundreds of Soul Masters gathering here. (End of Chapter)
