Broken Blade City is not far from Linshan City. If you use a normal fairy ship, it only takes half a month to get there. But Master Minghao only has seven days.
However, Master Minghao did not have any worries, because he had a fairy ship of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fairy Equipment level. This fairy ship was extremely fast, and it could complete the journey that would normally take half a month in less than seven days.
The Immortal Ship is several times more precious than the ordinary Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal Weapons because it is more complicated to refine and the materials are more expensive. The ordinary fourth-level alchemists simply cannot own such a magic weapon. Only those fifth-level alchemists can own it.
The reason why Master Minghao has such a fairy ship is entirely because the Tianma County Alchemists General Union values him and gave him a fairy ship of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal Equipment level in advance. It can be seen how high Master Minghao's status is in the Tianma County Alchemists General Union.
On the tenth day of the competition, the Jiutianxuanxianqi fairy ship arrived above Linshan City as promised.
The sky above Linshan City was originally off-limits. Any cultivators and immortal ships had to enter through the city gates. If a cultivator flew into the city or took an immortal ship into the city, it would be regarded as a provocation to Linshan City.
Since the establishment of Linshan City, no cultivator has ever dared to fly into the city, except for those beings that Linshan City cannot afford to offend. At least, there has never been such a thing in the past hundred years.
However, today, a huge fairy ship came into the sky above Linshan City with a loud noise and hovered above the city.
"Who are you? Come down quickly!" A team of city guards flew up, stood in front of the fairy ship, and confronted sternly.
However, at the next moment, a powerful pressure suddenly surged from the fairy ship, instantly covering the entire team of city guards. In an instant, these city guards fell straight to the ground like birds with broken wings, and fell heavily to the ground, with no one knowing whether they were alive or dead.
"Who is so bold!" A shocking roar rang out, and a figure suddenly appeared from the City Lord's Mansion below, holding a spear and rushing towards the fairy ship. This person was Duan Tianshang, the City Lord of Linshan City.
In an instant, Duan Tianshang rushed into that pressure.
However, his speed suddenly slowed down, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.
Duan Tianshang's immortal energy rolled, his eyes glaring like copper bells: "Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal's Domain Field, who is in the boat, and why did you trespass into my Linshan City!"
“Hmph, you are not worthy of knowing my name!” An old voice was heard from inside the fairy ship, like rolling thunder, pressing towards Duan Tianshang with overwhelming force.
Impacted by the sound, Duan Tianshang's face changed suddenly. With a "puff" sound, Duan Tianshang actually spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his body fell rapidly downwards. If he had not taken a breath of immortal energy to stabilize his body at the last moment, he would probably have repeated the mistake of the previous city guards.
"Activate the city defense formation and surround and kill the invaders!" Duan Tianshang was also a ruthless man. He shouted loudly and his voice spread to every corner of Linshan City.
Suddenly, obscure waves came from all directions of Linshan City, and a large net was slowly stretched across the sky.
“Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you. Let me kill a few of them first to scare them!” The old voice sounded again in the fairy ship, but this time, it carried a bit of murderous intent, as if he was really going to go on a killing spree.
However, at this moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out: "Uncle Shui, please be patient."
Then, a figure slowly flew out from the immortal ship, looking down at Duan Tianshang on the ground: "City Lord Duan, why don't you quickly put away the city defense formation? Do you really want to leave corpses all over Linshan City?"
Duan Tianshang stared at the figure above his head. He saw that the man was wearing a red robe with four dragons on it, standing in the air, looking down on the earth like a king. Although he hated it very much, he still asked in a serious tone, "Who are you?"
"Ming Hao!" the man said softly, but his words made people feel a strong sense of confidence.
"It's you!" Duan Tianshang's eyes narrowed. Although he had already guessed it in his mind, when Minghao revealed his identity, his heart still skipped a beat for no reason.
This person is a legend in Broken Blade City and is the one most likely to be promoted to a level five alchemist.
"Withdraw the formation!" Duan Tianshang said helplessly. In an instant, the city defense formation slowly faded away and finally disappeared.
"It turns out to be Master Minghao. I am sorry for not welcoming you!" Duan Tianshang clasped his fists towards Minghao, but it was obvious that he was not sincere. No wonder, no matter who was visited by him, even if they were not as strong as him, they would still not be in a good mood.
"Well, where is that Chen Feng? I'm staying in the City Lord's Mansion, you ask him to come see me!" Ming Hao said lightly, then regardless of Duan Tianshang's ugly expression, he jumped straight down and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Behind him, an old man in a black robe also appeared and followed Minghao silently, like a loyal guard.
Seeing this old man, Duan Tianshang's face darkened. This old man had a strong aura, and was definitely several levels higher than himself. He was at least a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal. Even judging from his lingering aura, he was very likely a cultivator in the late stage of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal. Such a strong man was extremely rare in Tianma County.
Duan Tianshang felt aggrieved because he was not as strong as others. However, at this point, he had no say and could only sigh helplessly and fly towards the Linshan City Alchemist Guild.
In fact, with such a big commotion in the sky, the eyes of all the cultivators in Linshan City have been focused here. Duan Tianshang had just arrived at the gate of the Linshan City Alchemist Guild, and the president Mo Zhitong was already waiting outside the door.
“Lao Mo…” Duan Tianshang opened his mouth, but found that he had no idea where to start.
"City Lord Duan, I understand everything!" Mo Zhitong sighed, "The Linshan City Alchemist Guild is probably doomed today."
Duan Tianshang also had a dejected look on his face: "Yes, the Duanren City Alchemist Guild has gone too far. If they are allowed to control the Linshan City Alchemist Guild, perhaps I, the city lord, will become a puppet sooner or later."
After a pause, Duan Tianshang looked at Mo Zhitong and asked bitterly, "Old Mo, is Master Chen Feng here?"
Mo Zhitong nodded: "Master Chen Feng has been in the training room for the past ten days and has not left. He is still in seclusion."
"What should we do? Master Minghao specifically asked Master Chen Feng to meet him. If Master Chen Feng doesn't come out, wouldn't that be like handing over the Linshan City Alchemist Guild to him?"
Mo Zhitong's eyes were also bitter: "Maybe Master Chen Feng is at a critical moment. Otherwise, we should go to the door of the training room and wait for Master Chen Feng to come out?"
"It's worth it." Duan Tianshang sighed and said helplessly. It was sad to think that he, the lord of a city, was treated as a servant by others.
"Sorry to trouble City Lord Duan!" At this moment, a steady voice was heard, and a man slowly walked out of the gate of the Alchemist Union.
"Master Chen Feng!" Duan Tianshang and Mo Zhitong's eyes lit up and they shouted in surprise.
