Recruit black physique to start practice in the wasteland

In the mouth of Immortal Yongheng, this breath flashed by for a moment, but it was extremely powerful and caused quite a stir.

Several Nascent Soul True Immortals have already gone to the scene to investigate, and it has even attracted the attention of the Star Palace.

The Star Palace rarely pays attention to the local affairs of Zhongzhou. Most of the time, these matters are left to the thirty-six first-tier cities to handle.

Above the thirty-six cities is a Zhongzhou Management Elders Council, which is responsible for the management of the entire Zhongzhou.

The Elders' Council can formulate various rules and appoint and dismiss the city lord. It feels like its management authority is much greater than that of the Dongsheng Cultivator Alliance.

At the very least, the Cultivator Alliance cannot appoint or dismiss the leaders of the twelve major forces.

But in fact, above the Council of Elders there is the Hall of Stars, which is the real manager of the affairs of Zhongzhou.

It’s just that the Star Hall usually takes care of very little, delegating most of the power to the Council of Elders, and is itself quite aloof and mysterious.

However, it is not entirely true to say that it has no business at all. All important decisions of the Council of Elders must be approved by the Hall of Stars.

Therefore, many mayors of first-tier cities bypassed the Council of Elders and contacted the Star Palace directly.

Just like Huo Jiujian, who is said to be the mayor of Daye City, but actually comes from the Xingchen Palace.

A more vivid metaphor is that the Presbyterian Church is like a puppet emperor, a stamping machine.

The Star Palace is ruled by the emperor who holds real power, but this emperor rarely takes charge of things.

Even more transcendent than the Palace of Stars are the Four Sacred Mountains, which hardly interfere in worldly affairs.

However, once the Four Sacred Mountains expressed their stance, even the Star Palace would have to weigh their views, and unimportant matters would be passed directly.

Anyway, the power structure of Zhongzhou is also quite delicate.

The real power over local management lies in the hands of the mayors of the 36 first-tier cities.

However, the Star Palace did not completely delegate power. They stationed various observers in various places.

These personnel basically have no law enforcement power, and their specific responsibility is to report the situation at the grassroots level.

But this situation on the ground has little to do with the people's sentiments. After all, the main goal of the Star Palace and the Four Sacred Mountains is the upper realm!

As long as the Cangwu world is not in chaos and order is maintained, these five major forces will not care much.

However, there must be observers. In addition to ensuring a general understanding of public sentiment, the key is to understand various important information.

For example, where are some ancient relics appearing, where are some natural treasures likely to be found...

For the five major forces that are intent on connecting with the upper realm, the scarce resources that may impress the upper realm are what they need to pay close attention to.

The unusual aura occurring at the border of Daye City and Xiangyuan City attracted the attention of the observers of the Star Palace.

If it was just an ordinary abnormality, it would be fine, but the key is that aura. Many people believe that it exceeds that of the Nascent Soul!

Therefore, an order was sent from the Star Palace at the first moment, ordering a thorough investigation of this aura and sending investigators soon.

As soon as Qu Jianlei heard it, he knew that this was definitely the noise caused by the Dao Monument.

But this is normal. The grade of the Dao Monument is definitely at least at the Dongxu level.

A broken sword, or even a broken axe, should also be ranked behind it... and the gap is very large.

However, when Immortal Yongheng revealed this news, he did not think that Hongye Ridge might be related to this matter - this was too ridiculous.

He just said that this was most likely the movement of the demon. After all, it was almost impossible for a treasure of this level to appear in Zhongzhou.

So at the moment... Daye City and Xiangyuan City are both making excuses, saying that the unusual movements occurred in each other's areas.

This matter feels a bit absurd, at least it doesn't match the immortal cultivation novels that Qu Jianlei has read.

Immortal cultivators also understand probability theory - even if they don’t, if they live long enough and see enough, they will naturally understand it.

The key is that if these two cities dare to claim this opportunity and think it belongs to them, they will face a big problem.

What if, in case, maybe, possibly... this opportunity does not exist?

They can report the truth, but the question is, will the Star Palace believe it?

This aura has alarmed too many people and it cannot be concealed.

This is the current situation in Zhongzhou.

It's easy to explain if no one knows. But if everyone knows, then whoever wants to grab this opportunity will have to bear the corresponding consequences.

If I can grab the opportunity, then everything will be fine. But if I can't grab it, how can I explain it to the Star Palace?

At that time, you can only pay for it out of your own pocket - well, I really didn’t get it, please understand.

But what would the people from the Star Palace think? "You have already received a great opportunity, but you are using this little to get rid of me. Who are you looking down on?"

Based on this understanding, Daye City and Xiangyuan City both pointed out that the aura was in each other's area.

Immortal Yongheng was a little amused when talking about this, "Now City Lord Huo is about to fight with the other party."

"Daye City's economic situation is slightly better than Xiangyuan's, but even if you have money you can't be taken advantage of like this."

However, this was not his original intention when he said this, it is just a hot topic in recent times.

The point is that because the attention from the Star Palace has brought too much pressure, City Lord Huo needs to take the initiative to prove his innocence.

So he released a large number of manpower to strictly investigate all kinds of abnormal matters in the country.

In theory, this is not a big deal. City Lord Huo already knows that Hongyeling has come into conflict with others, so he will naturally avoid the related taboos.

But the problem is that Xiangyuan City doesn’t want to bear the consequences of this. They stubbornly believe that this is not happening in their own family!

Probably because Xiangyuan’s economy is slightly inferior to Daye City.

So they must shift the blame and say that the incident happened in the jurisdiction of Daye City - we will not pay this money.

Therefore, Xiangyuan City also sent a team to investigate Daye City.

Within Daye City, they do not have the right to leave as a matter of course, and they still have to respect local rules.

But no matter what, they are still part of the City Lord's Mansion system, and as long as they don't offend their colleagues, they can still do something.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, City Lord Huo thought more: Will you investigate according to the rules? Are you trying to frame me?

The other party may not necessarily do this, but you should always be on guard against them.

Therefore, Daye City began to arrange personnel to "cooperate" with the team from Xiangyuan City that came to investigate.

Coincidentally, City Lord Huo also sent a team to investigate the Xiangyuan City side.

They are all smart people who have lived for thousands of years. Once they encounter something, their reactions are basically the same.

Because these tasks require a large number of manpower, Daye City has begun to temporarily recruit personnel from various forces.

Yongheng Zhenxian believes that it can be predicted that the large-scale inspection will not last long, but it may cause some variables.

At present, the inspection team is mainly concentrated at the junction of the two major cities, but if there is no result, they will extend to deeper areas.

No gain is almost certain. How can such a strong aura of uncertainty be so honest?

If it is not captured in the first place, it is basically impossible to determine its whereabouts.

If there weren't such pessimistic expectations, Daye City and Xiangyuan City wouldn't have blamed each other - who doesn't want an opportunity?

As the investigation deepens, it is basically inevitable that the epidemic will spread to Huangtuling.

What is certain is that with so many Nascent Souls gathered here, it is likely to attract corresponding attention.

Immortal Yongheng has lived long enough and seen a lot of things. According to his prediction, he will be able to find out about this in about two days.

After Qu Jianlei sent him away, he looked at the four detained Yuanyings and asked, "Do you want to be discovered like this?"

There is no need to ask this question. As the most powerful person in Zhongzhou, why would he be willing to be seen in such an embarrassing state?

However, apart from looking a little unhappy, none of the four True Immortals answered - it was really embarrassing.

After four or five seconds, Immortal Fei Peng actually smiled and said, "Boss, we actually have the same idea."

In fact, this is not difficult to judge. The eleven Nascent Souls on the opposite side have never been seen before, so these people must be more careful to keep their identities confidential.

What is rare is that this social hero actually said it in a very relaxed tone, and did not forget to call the other party "boss".

Qu Jianlei had no intention of denying it, as that would be an insult to the other party's intelligence.

He nodded casually, "In that case, let's wait for another day. If Tianyu doesn't come by noon tomorrow, we'll leave."

The three Nascent Souls remained silent. They all knew that since they were leaving, their freedom would be restricted even more tightly.

But can they object? That would be truly self-humiliating.

At this moment, their feelings were quite complicated and they really wished they had never been to Huangtuling.

Being detained is bad enough, but now he has encountered an unusual aura incident. This luck... is really unbelievable.

Even the Immortal Fei Peng of Sheniu was stunned for a moment before speaking, "How many years have you been hiding your whereabouts?"

Qu Jianlei looked at him and didn't answer.

Instead, Li Yuren spoke in a deep voice, "We didn't intend to hide our whereabouts. You will know it later."

He was also very clear that Lord Qu Ling and his gang had long planned to come to Zhongzhou to develop.

When they left, the battle for the fourth-level spiritual vein of Hongye Ridge should have begun between the Li family and the Zhu family.

Of course, this is just a preliminary intention. It is hard to say whether it will succeed or not, and the date is even more uncertain.

But now Hongyeling has already established a foothold in Zhongzhou, and the Star Palace does not reject this group of people, so it is only a matter of time before they emerge.

Anyway, he was very sure that Qu Lingzhu's team was just low-key and not the kind of people who were hiding their plans.

"Didn't you mean it?" A trace of confusion flashed across Immortal Fei Peng's eyes, and then he made a request.

"Can we be a little more respectful when we leave?"

However, Li Yuren's answer was, "It's not even tomorrow noon yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Could it be that you, as friends of Fellow Daoist Tianyu, have no confidence in him at all?"

His tongue is as sharp as a knife without him noticing, he really deserves to be from a big family.
