Hearing the words of the city lord Wei Zhenran, everyone could not help but frown, with a hint of deep thought between their brows. The hall fell into silence for a while, with only the occasional sound of the wind coming from the window, as if telling an unknown secret. After a while, everyone shook their heads, their faces full of confusion and puzzlement, as if they were shrouded by an invisible mist.

Whether it was Lu Xuanxin or Lin Xiaofeng and the others, their existence was like dewdrops in the morning light, clear yet elusive. When they drew their swords, there was no trace of their cultivation, just like ordinary warriors, ordinary, without the slightest bit of splendor and publicity. Although they carried an indescribable aura, their cultivation was hidden and elusive.

"They all hide their cultivation levels, but they can easily break our battle formation. Even the masters at the peak of the Waste Spirit Pill level have been defeated by them. It seems that any one of them has the cultivation level of a Spirit Emperor." An elder whispered, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

"These are not the key points. The key point is that two of them have bone ages less than 20 years old." Another elder added, his eyes flashing with complex light, both shock and envy.

"Everyone, think about it, where do these people come from?" Wei Zhenran tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with one hand, his eyes as deep as the night sky, his voice low and slightly bewitching, as if he wanted to suck everyone's thoughts into the endless darkness.

Everyone was silent. The hall was completely silent, with only the candlelight flickering. After a while, some people's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they saw the dawn of hope. But more people showed sinister looks, like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, waiting for the best time to strike.

"I think these people are not ordinary people. They are probably genius disciples of big forces." An elder shook his head and said with deep eyes. There was a trace of awe and desire in his tone. Forces like theirs wanted to make friends with the genius disciples of big forces the most. Once they made friends with them, they would naturally get benefits in the future.

"How could Zhiqian offend such a talented disciple?" Another elder seemed a little unhappy. His brows were furrowed, as if he was troubled by this sudden change. If he had not offended them and treated them with courtesy, he might have been able to get in touch with the sect through them and obtain more resources and protection.

"From what I see, they don't look like genius disciples of a large sect. Instead, they seem to have received inheritance from somewhere and reached this level in one fell swoop." Another elder disagreed, with a shrewd gleam in his eyes. He didn't believe that a sect could cultivate such geniuses. More importantly, if he wanted to obtain inheritance from them, he would need to overthrow their status as disciples of the sect first, so that he could take away the inheritance with peace of mind.

"Indeed, even an eight-star sect would find it difficult to train a teenage Spiritual Emperor." An elder nodded in agreement. His eyes revealed a hint of envy and jealousy. If it weren't for Lu Xuanxin's ten thousand year old Spiritual Milk, Yun Yan'er would need to practice for another ten or twenty years to reach the Spiritual Emperor realm.

"I also sensed the breath of inheritance from them." Another elder whispered, with a hint of greed and desire in his voice. For a cultivator, inheritance is a priceless treasure. Once obtained, it can save decades of hard training.

"If we can get their inheritance..." Before an elder finished speaking, greed flashed in everyone's eyes. Those little girls were able to reach the Spiritual Emperor Realm after receiving the inheritance, but they have been stagnant at their current realm for a long time. If they cannot break through, their lifespan will be threatened in a few decades. Decades may seem long, but for a cultivator, it is just one or two retreats.

"But what if they are really genius disciples of a big sect?" An elder suddenly said, breaking everyone's fantasy. His words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the fire of greed in everyone's hearts.

Everyone's expressions froze, but soon, an elder said harshly: "Even if they are talented disciples in the sect, what does it matter? There are only people in the Spirit Emperor Realm around them. How strong can such a sect be?" There was a hint of disdain and arrogance in his voice.

"Moreover, we have already offended them. Even if we give up, they may not give up. In this case, why not go all out and nip all possibilities in the bud?" added another elder, his eyes flashing with determination.

“Their cultivation levels vary, and it’s obvious that their status in the sect is not high. Even if they die outside, the sect may not know about their deaths.” An elder analyzed, with a hint of coldness and cruelty in his tone.

“Let’s take a step back and say that if the sect really wants to investigate, it won’t be done so quickly. By that time, we will have already obtained the inheritance, and may have even broken through to a new level.” Another elder said, a hideous smile on his face.

"At that time, we just need to show our sincerity again. I believe that the sect will not become an enemy of another force just for a few dead people." The last elder concluded, with a hint of confidence and calmness in his voice, as if everything was already under his control.

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes flickered and their eyes were deep. It must be said that the elder's analysis of the problem was very thorough. If Lu Xuanxin and others were really from some ordinary sect, I'm afraid they would really be in trouble today.

However, they never expected that Lu Xuanxin and the others were not disciples of a certain sect, but were just casual cultivators who had just arrived in the Central Region. They were like a lone boat drifting on the vast ocean, accidentally entering this unknown area.

"Let's go out and meet them." An elder slapped his thigh, stood up immediately, and walked out impatiently. His face showed a hint of eagerness and excitement. It was as if he was about to face a grand banquet, not an unknown battle.

"No need, we're here." An elegant, leisurely and crisp voice sounded softly, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, bringing a few ripples.

Everyone looked up in surprise, and saw a group of people leisurely walking into the hall. Their steps were light and graceful, as if every step was on the beat. Old Man Lin followed behind with a pale face, his eyes flashing with fear and uneasiness. Obviously, he was very surprised and shocked by the arrival of Lu Xuanxin and others.

It turned out that while they were discussing, Lu Xuanxin and his group had already broken in and heard all their discussions. Their arrival was as silent as a ghost, making it difficult to detect.

The reason why everyone was shocked was not because Lu Xuanxin and others broke into the house and embarrassed them. It was because they realized that Lu Xuanxin and others were already standing in front of them. This is a taboo for cultivators! Just imagine, if the people who came were their enemies, how could they still be alive at this moment?

Of course, they were not friends of Lu Xuanxin and the others. Under normal circumstances, no matter how engrossed they were in the discussion, it was impossible for them to not notice when Lu Xuanxin and the others walked in front of them. Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion still had a defensive formation. However, they could not sense the shock of the formation being broken at all.

They didn't believe that without their order, someone would dare to open the formation and let Lu Xuanxin and others in. Then there was only one possibility, there was a master hidden in this group of people, a master who could block their spiritual thoughts.

In an instant, not only the elders, but even the shrewd city lord Wei Zhenran was shocked. His eyes flashed with disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Hey, why are you all silent? Are you angry because we came uninvited?" Yun Yan'er smiled brightly, not taking the gloomy old man seriously at all. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a clear spring in the mountains.

"How about we go out and come back in again? But there's no one outside to fight with, what should we do? We can't recreate the scene when we came in just now." She said sorry, but every word was heartbreaking and harsh. Her eyes were shining with mischief, as if she was watching a good show.

The old men were shocked when they heard this. They sent out their spiritual thoughts and found that the entire road from the main gate to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was full of guards and masters wailing in pain. Whether it was Lingdan or Linghuang, they were all lying on the ground. Their faces were full of pain and fear, as if they had experienced a nightmare.

The strangest thing was that they didn't hear any movement at all after so many people were injured. This made them feel very shocked and uneasy. They began to realize that the strength of this group of young people was far beyond their imagination.

Wei Zhenran's expression changed quickly, and a kind smile appeared on his face. His smile looked very sincere and kind, without any falsehood. It can be seen that he has practiced very well and the muscles on his face are well controlled.

"Oh, the ladies are here, why didn't you let anyone know? We can go out to greet them." He said with a smile, as if he really felt sorry for not welcoming them. There was a hint of flattery in his tone, and it was obvious that he wanted to ease the relationship between him and them.

Thinking back to the past, Lu Xuanxin suddenly recalled the past. She had a cousin, a little girl who always smiled. In order to keep a natural smile when working at the front desk, she practiced in front of the mirror for several months. The cousin's eyes were as clear as water, always shining with an unyielding light, as if no matter how great the difficulties were, they could not stop her from pursuing perfection.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, this is not right! Why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming from afar? We can at least go out to greet you." There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Xuanxin's words. Her bright eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if she could see through all hypocrisy and affectation.

When the old men heard this, their expressions changed instantly, just like the face-changing in a drama. They immediately put on smiles and tried to please others in every way they said, but there was still a hint of embarrassment on their faces, like a clown who had been exposed, not knowing what to do.

Mr. Lin was originally quite amiable, but now his face was as red as an eggplant, and he couldn't say a word. He just watched, knowing very well in his heart that these so-called "guests" were definitely not good people, but he just kept silent, as if he was enduring it, or as if he was waiting for something.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuanxin secretly glanced at Zihuang again. He was a man with elegant manners and extraordinary temperament. His every move revealed an extraordinary aura. She nodded, secretly admiring Zihuang's methods. It was really amazing that he could make the scene like this and make these old men who were usually high and mighty at a loss without any effort.

Lu Xuanxin and his men were busy outside breaking the enemy's formation. Zi Huang felt sorry for his wife's hard work, so he waved his sleeves lightly, and the solid city gate and the arrogant formation were broken as if they were made of paper. The guards of the city lord's mansion, no matter how majestic they were on weekdays, were now like children encountering strongmen. They were beaten into submission before they even started. They were all stunned, as if they had seen something incredible.

Looking outside the door, those who fell down were either missing limbs or their inner elixir was destroyed. Some were even masters among masters, and their elixir was taken away. This method made people feel creepy, as if a group of demons were wreaking havoc and no one could stop it.

Mr. Lin was puzzled. Why was the city lord so stubborn that he had to confront such a demon? He just wanted to escape and hide in the mountains and forests to live the rest of his life in peace and security. He didn't want to have anything to do with this demon anymore. His eyes revealed deep fear and helplessness, as if he was a clown teased by fate.

Yun Yan'er had no idea what Lord Lin was thinking, and she was still feeling proud. "How dare we? We heard that your family was in trouble, so we helped a little. Please don't be offended, Lord City Master." Her voice was as clear as a silver bell, and it was also a bit joking, as if she was teasing these old men who were usually high and mighty.
