"Lisan?!"
Feng Bing was slightly surprised, then slamd the table angrily and said:
"Is he tired of living? He even dares to kidnap the City Lord's daughter!"
"Uncle Feng, do you know this person?"
Xue Yiyi asked casually.
"Yes! He is the leader of a group of bandits!"
Feng Bing nodded and said:
"I have also sent people to encircle and suppress them, but unfortunately, their hideout is very concealed, and we ended up returning empty-handed!"
"By the way, Yiyi, since you were captured, how did you manage to escape in the end?"
Feng Bing looked at Xue Yiyi and asked seriously.
"Soone saved . After I was captured, I was kept in a basent for two or three days."
Xue Yiyi had already thought of an explanation, so she said directly:
"Just when I was about to lose hope, suddenly the door was opened, and a man rescued . I then t Mr. Su on the road."
When I followed him out, I discovered that Lisan and his subordinates were all dead!
"Dead?!"
As soon as Feng Bing heard this, he stood up abruptly and then hesitantly asked:
"You an Lisan and his subordinates are all dead?"
"Yes, Uncle Feng, is there a problem?"
Xue Yiyi asked.
"No... no problem."
Feng Bing waved his hand and then sat down:
"By the way, who was this person, and where is he now? I must thank him properly for removing such a big threat for us!"
Xue Yiyi shook her head in response:
"I don't know either; after saving , he left."
"That's really a pity."
Feng Bing sighed.
Then he glanced at Su Chen, thinking, might Xue Yiyi be lying to him, and it was actually this young man who saved her?
But seeing his cultivation level, Feng Bing shook his head, smiling to himself:
How could it be? I must be overthinking!
"City Lord Feng, we saw a notice on the road just now. It seems the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting people proficient in formations, is that right?"
At this mont, Su Chen asked.
"Yes, Uncle Feng, why are you recruiting people proficient in formations?"
Xue Yiyi also asked in surprise.
"Yiyi, don't you know?"
Feng Bing smiled slightly.
Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Xue Yiyi's mind, and she blurted out:
"Uncle Feng, are you talking about the Ancestral Land?"
"Exactly!"
Feng Bing nodded with a smile.
"What Ancestral Land?"
Su Chen asked, more confused.
"The Ancestral Land is a mysterious place passed down here, containing many treasures. Most of our martial arts cultivation resources are obtained from there."
Xue Yiyi had already learned along the way that Su Chen ca from the outside world, so she explained:
"Because of this reason, plus it was passed down from a long, long ti ago, it's called the Ancestral Land."
"I see, but what does this have to do with formations?"
Su Chen was slightly enlightened.
"Entering the Ancestral Land isn't that easy. Inside, there are various chanisms and formations, and other dangers as well!"
Xue Yiyi continued:
"For so many years, people here have only explored the outer layer of the Ancestral Land; as for the inner layer, no one has entered yet!"
"Indeed."
Feng Bing looked at Su Chen and said:
"Just now, Yiyi ntioned that Mr. Su doesn't seem to be from around here!"
"Indeed, I ca from the outside world!"
Su Chen did not deny it, moreover, his attire looked significantly different from the locals.
"Uncle Feng, why did you suddenly decide to explore the Ancestral Land again this ti?"
Xue Yiyi asked curiously.
Because in the inner layer of the Ancestral Land, one first encounters a profound formation, and attempts to break it have failed several tis!
So these past years, there hasn't been much exploration.
"Yiyi, you haven't been back for so days, so you might not know this news. Actually, it's not that sudden; the Ancestral Land is a gift from The Heavens, it can't just be left there!"
Feng Bing said with a smile:
"So this ti, I contacted several other city lords and plan to explore the Ancestral Land again in so ti!"
"Did Uncle Feng initiate this?"
Xue Yiyi asked casually.
Because as per the rules, the exploration of the Ancestral Land must be agreed upon by all the city lords!
"Indeed."
Feng Bing said with a smile:
"In a while, I'll have soone arrange a room for both of you to stay. Yiyi, tomorrow I will arrange for soone to escort you back to Snow City."
"Thank you, Uncle Feng!"
Xue Yiyi smiled slightly, as her main purpose for coming here was this; since the other party ntioned it, she naturally agreed.
"No trouble at all!"
Feng Bing said with a smile, a subtle gleam flashing in his eyes!
"How about this then."
At this mont, Su Chen spoke:
"Since soon City Lord Feng will lead people to explore the Ancestral Land, and people from Snow City will also go, why don't we go directly with City Lord Feng? That way, City Lord Feng wouldn't have to specially send soone!\\"
Hearing this, Xue Yiyi was taken aback, then delighted!
Exactly, her father will certainly go to the Ancestral Land; wouldn't it be perfect if she went with them!
"This way, it will be safer and more reassuring!"
Just as Feng Bing was about to speak, Su Chen quickly smiled and said:
"Besides, I am quite curious about that mysterious Ancestral Land and would like to broaden my horizons."
As Su Chen spoke so far, Feng Bing had no reason to oppose; he thought of sothing and thus nodded:
"Very well, Yiyi, you and this Mr. Su stay for a few days, and then we will head to the Ancestral Land together!"
The key point was that Su Chen's cultivation strength was too weak, else Feng Bing might have considered recruiting him!
Little did he know, even if he wanted to recruit, Su Chen would never agree!
Moreover, he still held reservations about this person.
After a while, Feng Bing arranged for a maid to co over and lead the two to the guest accommodation!
.....
After Su Chen and Xue Yiyi left, Feng Bing entered the backyard through a small door, then ca to the door of a room. He knocked on the door first, then pushed it open and went inside.
"Is it Xue Yiyi?"
As he walked in, a voice sounded.
"Indeed it is her, along with a strange young man who claims to be her friend."
Feng Bing said humbly, appearing to have no authority as a city lord!
"What exactly happened?"
The person turned around and asked in a sowhat sinister voice.
However, the whole person was shrouded in a blood-colored robe, not to ntion their appearance, even their general build was hard to discern!
Hearing this, Feng Bing relayed all the information he had just gathered.
The person in the blood-colored robe was silent for a mont, then spoke:
"Didn't you say Xue Yiyi ca with a strange young man? Could she be hiding the truth, and it was actually that young man who did all this?"
