Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 5627 Cold Sweat
Zhang Yifeng raised his fingers to calculate the time, and estimated that Xiang Zhen should have cleared out the remaining bandits in the city.
If Xiang Zhen was the only one leading people there, the speed wouldn't be so fast.
But this time, Su Zhirou and others also went along.
Even if other people didn't take action, Zhirou's strength at the Immortal Venerable level was enough to sweep away this group of bandits.
Sure enough, after Zhang Yifeng lowered the barrier in the reception room, footsteps were heard from outside the door.
The three of them walked out together and saw that Xiang Zhen had indeed returned safely with the others.
Everyone's clothes were spotless and they came back the same way they left.
There was only one person who was different. Lei Ao was holding the hilt of the Thunder God Sword tightly, and his body was still shaking slightly.
There were traces of undried blood on his face and body, as if he had just crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Zhang Yifeng didn't feel too surprised when he saw this. He had known for a long time that Lei Ao would return in this state this time.
After all, these bandits basically all participated in the annihilation of the entire Lei family. Lei Ao, who was eager for revenge, would not let any of them go.
As Xiang Zhen walked over, his eyes were always fixed on Lei Ao, full of concern.
It seems that this trip to suppress bandits has increased his worries about Lei Ao.
"Friend Zhang, you guys are back so soon?"
Xiang Zhen was concerned about Lei Ao's condition all the way, and only noticed Zhang Yifeng and the others when he got closer.
This trip to suppress the bandits had already exceeded his expectations.
Before Xiang Zhen could order his men to surround the bandits' hiding place, Su Zhirou and her group rushed in directly.
In a short while, hundreds of bandits hiding inside were all killed, leaving only the leader who was pulled out.
And under Lei Ao's insistence, the leader was killed by him personally.
Later on, Lei Ao also learned his lesson and quickly followed Su Zhirou and the others to charge into the bandits' lair.
In just such a short period of time, all the bandits hiding in Beihai City were wiped out.
If this had happened before, Xiang Zhen would never have dared to dream of it.
At the same time, after this campaign to suppress the bandits, Xiang Zhen was filled with fear.
With these bandits hiding in Beihai City, they are fully capable of slaughtering the entire City Lord's Mansion silently.
Fortunately, Zhang Yifeng helped him, otherwise he would have been wiped out by these bandits on his own.
What surprised Xiang Zhen even more was that Zhang Yifeng and the other two returned to the City Lord's Mansion even faster than them.
Looking at the three people with dust-free clothes, Xiang Zhen hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, is it possible that the owner of Tianxianglou doesn't give you face?"
"In that case, why not let me go there myself!"
Xiang Zhen thought about it again and again, and still felt that Zhang Yifeng and the other two came back so soon probably because they didn't achieve any results in Tianxiang Tower.
As the Lord of Beihai City, he felt that by using his status to exert pressure, he would surely make the owner of Tianxianglou obey his orders.
"No need, City Lord Xiang, I have already captured the guy who secretly controls these bandits."
"But you came back a little too late. The man has been blasted to pieces."
Zhang Yifeng spoke calmly and told Xiang Zhen what had happened while he was away.
When Xiang Zhen heard that the person who controlled the bandit cultivators was actually Gu Huang, the steward who had been in charge of internal affairs in his mansion, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"What? No wonder the people I secretly sent to investigate died so easily at the hands of those bandits!"
Xiang Zhen gritted his teeth and growled, his eyes flashing with indignation.
In the entire City Lord's Mansion, the person Xiang Zhen trusts the most is the General Manager Gu Huang.
When he was in danger, Gu Huang saved his life at the risk of his own life.
Therefore, in the entire City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Zhen would not hide any matters, big or small, from Gu Huang.
They will even tell the other party many secrets and discuss countermeasures with them privately.
Xiang Zhen thought about it day and night, but he probably never imagined that Gu Huang was the one who secretly controlled the chaos in Beihai City.
"Fortunately, I have the help of Fellow Daoist Zhang, otherwise I would have died at the hands of this traitor sooner or later!"
"It's a pity that I can't kill this traitor with my own hands, but at least Beihai City is now completely stable."
Xiang Zhen said this through gritted teeth.
“No, City Lord Xiang may have misunderstood. This ancient wasteland is at most just a small fish.”
"There is someone else who is really disturbing Beihai City, but he should not be in Beihai City at the moment."
Zhang Yifeng shook his head and then expressed his analysis of the current situation.
Hearing what Zhang Yifeng said, beads of sweat began to roll down Xiang Zhen's forehead.
"Young Supreme? Such a being would actually stare at the God's Treasury."
Xiang Zhen lowered his head and spoke in a serious voice.
It seems that he still underestimated the temptation of the Imperial Treasury to those who were interested.
"Now that the chaos in Beihai City has been resolved, the young supreme being behind the scenes is not in Beihai City anymore and will not come for a while. City Lord Xiang can rest assured."
"But before we set out to look for the Imperial Treasury, I have something I want to ask Lord Xiang in private."
Zhang Yifeng smiled and bowed to Xiang Zhen.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, there is no need to be so polite. Your arrival not only solved my crisis, but also saved Beihai City from a catastrophic disaster."
"No matter what you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know!"
Xiang Zhen's expression became serious after hearing what Zhang Yifeng said, and he replied seriously.
Zhang Yifeng nodded in response, then led Xiang Zhen into the reception room behind him.
Xuanyuan Li didn't know what Zhang Yifeng wanted to talk to Xiang Zhen about, but he didn't follow him into the reception room.
Instead, he grabbed Ji Dali who wanted to walk in with him.
In the reception room, Zhang Yifeng raised his hand and raised the barrier, blocking any possibility of eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.
"Lord Xiang, you should know that in addition to possessing the key to the Imperial Treasury, the Lei family also has a map of the route to the Imperial Treasury, right?"
Zhang Yifeng stared at Xiang Zhen and asked in a calm voice.
"Where did you learn about this, Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
Xiang Zhen swallowed and looked at Zhang Yifeng in astonishment.
"Of course, it was the Lei family's head and his wife who told me about this. Not only that, they also gave me this map."
As Zhang Yifeng smiled, the route map appeared in his palm.
"It seems that he has recognized the kindness of Fellow Daoist Zhang. If that's the case, there's no need for me to hide anything."
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, if you have any questions about the Imperial Treasury, feel free to ask."
After staring at the route map in Zhang Yifeng's hand for a while, Xiang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that City Lord Xiang knows much more than I thought."
"Then I won't go into too much detail. May I ask if City Lord Xiang can tell me the origin of this imperial treasury?"
Zhang Yifeng's eyes flashed with brilliance when he heard this, and he knew that he was not wrong.
Xiang Zhen was hiding far more secrets than he had imagined.
"The origin of this imperial treasury is quite long ago, please listen carefully, fellow Taoist."
