"Brother, are they...?"
Mo Bai was a little stunned.
"The people in the City Lord's Mansion are, strictly speaking, my subordinates." Fei Ren grinned.
At the beginning, Troy was practicing hard in seclusion and appointed him as the next successor to the Lord of Leicheng City, known as the Young Master.
However, since the news has not spread yet, except for the guardian elder Qin Xuan, the commander Wu Yong and others, the other ordinary soldiers in the city lord's palace do not know Fei Ren's true identity.
"One of our own?"
After taking another look at Fei Ren, who had an extraordinary temperament in front of him, the armor-bearing soldier at the head was a little suspicious, "Are you also from the City Lord's Mansion? Isn't that right? Why have I never seen you before...?"
As a patrol soldier guarding the North City Gate, he had seen many masters in the city lord's palace, but this was the first time he saw Fei Ren in front of him.
Therefore, the armor-bearing soldier was also very suspicious of Fei Ren's origin.
"Little Lord!"
At this time, a surprised shout suddenly came from not far away.
"It's really you!"
The next moment, a tall and strong man in black robes walked over, with a hint of surprise and joy on his face, "Young Master, you are finally back!"
"A few months have passed since we parted ways with Emperor Yan's mausoleum that day. It's great that you are okay...!"
The person who came was quite powerful and had reached the level of Xuanzun Realm. Although he was only at the first level of Xuanzun Realm, he was enough to crush the surrounding soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion. He was the commander-in-chief Wu Yong.
When Emperor Yan's tomb first appeared, Wu Yong led a group of people there to gather information, but he was in danger. If Fei Ren hadn't come to the rescue in the end, he would most likely have fallen into it, and his life would not have been saved!
Not only that, the fact that Wu Yong was able to successfully break through the shackles of cultivation and step into the Xuanzun realm today was also thanks to the other party.
"Wu Yong, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Seeing that the person coming was Wu Yong, Fei Ren also nodded.
Although the opponent's talent is not that smart, his martial arts foundation is not too bad. As long as he has enough training resources, it is not difficult to enter the level of Xuanzun.
However, that's all.
With Wu Yong's innate understanding, if he wants to reach the high-level Xuanzun realm or even the Xuansheng realm in the future, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
"Young master, you're welcome. The trip to Emperor Yan's tomb was full of dangers. I didn't expect that, young master, you would not only be able to escape unscathed, but your cultivation would also skyrocket, many times higher than before!"
Realizing that the Yuanli aura on Fei Ren's body was extremely powerful, that he had also entered the Xuanzun realm, and was obviously crushing him, Wu Yong also expressed emotion on his face, and then raised his hand, "I admire you!"
"Little Lord?"
"Could it be that this person is the City Lord's personal disciple, the next Young Master Fei Ren!"
"This, it can't be possible...!"
"I heard that the young master is a powerful warrior who is good at swordsmanship, and his natal spiritual treasure is a crescent-shaped sword. However, there is no sword on this person..."
Seeing Wu Yong appearing and looking respectful to Fei Ren, all the soldiers from the city lord's palace who were staring at him with eager eyes also looked at each other and started talking.
Among them, a small number of soldiers couldn't believe that the seemingly ordinary black-haired young man in front of them, wearing a gray cloth military robe, was actually the unseen young master of the mysterious beast in their city lord's palace!
"Young Master, the knife in your hand...?"
The discussions of the soldiers around him also fell into Wu Yong's ears. Wu Yong also glanced at Fei Ren with a surprised look on his face.
He still remembered that the opponent's natal spiritual treasure was a huge sword with astonishing power and a sharp gap like a crescent moon, but now it was nowhere to be seen.
For this reason, Wu Yong also felt a little curious.
After all, a suitable natal spiritual treasure is equivalent to a second life for a warrior and is generally not easily discarded.
"You mean the Star-Shattering Knife?"
Hearing this, Fei Ren was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the empty scabbard on his back and sighed, "This knife has been with me for many years, but it is a pity that it was scrapped due to too serious battle damage."
"Speaking of which, it's not easy to find a low-level heavenly-grade spiritual treasure that suits you..."
After the Star-Shattering Blade was scrapped, Fei Ren gave it to Nalan Su, along with a bunch of top-quality insect crystals that he had finally collected.
Because, in addition to being powerful, the opponent is also a senior weapon refiner and can recast and upgrade the damaged Star-Shattering Knife.
However, Fei Ren didn't know the specific effect of reforging the Star-Shattering Knife, or when the Star-Breaking Knife would be returned to his hands.
"I see, but although the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Treasure is rare, compared to this, it is a good thing that you can come back safely, young master."
After the words fell, Wu Yong also nodded, and then his eyes fell on Mo Bai next to him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "By the way, young master, this little brother is...?"
At first, he didn't notice Mo Bai next to Fei Ren. He only vaguely noticed that the other person's aura was also very powerful, and no less powerful than his own!
"Mo Bai, my sworn brother, just call him Xiao Bai from now on."
Facing Wu Yong's surprise, Fei Ren also glanced at Mo Bai beside him, and then grinned.
Although the other party evolved from a high-level puppet and had a new intelligence recently, he has fought with him for many years and is loyal to him. The relationship between the two has long been that of brothers!
"Brother Mo Bai, hello!"
Seeing this, Wu Yong immediately stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, "My name is Wu Yong, I am the commander of the City Lord's Mansion, and I am also the young master's subordinate!"
"Uh, you...hello! My name is Mo Bai!"
Mo Bai nodded shyly, then stretched out his palm.
Compared with his usual fighting and killing, he is not good at dealing with people, and in some aspects of dealing with people, he is not as smooth and shrewd as his elder brother Fei Ren.
"Welcome, young master!"
"Welcome, young master!"
"Welcome, young master!"
At this time, all the soldiers of the city lord's palace present finally understood that Fei Ren in front of them was the young master they usually admired, and they immediately knelt down on one knee.
Seeing this scene, Fei Ren just waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
"By the way, has Senior Troy not come out of seclusion yet?"
Fei Ren looked at Wu Yong aside and asked.
It had been several months since he left Leicheng, and the other party had been in seclusion and had not shown up yet. It seemed that he had entered a certain cultivation bottleneck.
"No!"
Shaking his head, Wu Yong explained, "Master, he has been concentrating on retreat. Even Elder Qin Xuan dare not disturb him easily, so we subordinates can only wait."
"Speaking of this, people from Tianying Sect have been visiting the City Lord's Mansion frequently recently. Two days ago, they discussed with Elder Qin Xuan about the promotion of the next City Lord."
"Aquila Gate?"
Fei Ren was a little surprised.
The three major forces in Thunder City are the Sky Eagle Sect, the Rakshasa Guild, and the City Lord's Mansion where Troy is located. These three forces are all fifth-grade forces with strong foundations.
And he himself had some grievances with Zhang Yunde, the fourth captain of the Rakshasa Guild. He also rescued the Rakshasa Guild's caravan and the third captain Quanzong in the Emperor's Pit, and wiped out the Feitian Bandit Group, so he was somewhat familiar with them.
However, Fei Ren didn't know much about the power of the Tianying Sect.
He just knew that the foundation of the Tianying Sect was not bad. In addition to the current sect leader Lin Tianying himself being a powerful Xuanzun Realm man, his sect also had many masters. There were dozens of them in the Martial King Realm alone, and their territory of influence was only Second only to the City Lord's Mansion, it is enough to crush other weak families and sect forces in Leicheng.
"Why did the people from the Sky Eagle Sect suddenly come to find me? As far as I know, the Sky Eagle Sect doesn't seem to have much interest in the city lord's palace. Is this just showing courtesy for nothing..."
"Also, what about the next city lord Jin Feng you just mentioned?"
With a chuckle, Fei Ren looked at Wu Yong beside him again and asked meaningfully.
