Chapter 262 Elder Yan Enters the City

In the offices of the Enforcement Hall, two of Li Muyang's young subordinates were worried sick over his affairs.

But Li Muyang himself didn't seem to care as he walked out of the Enforcement Hall, heading alone towards the tavern outside the City Lord's residence.

Although rumors of someone in the city wanting to assassinate him grew more intense, when Li Muyang often walked on the streets, he could vaguely feel gazes laden with murderous intent in the shadows.

However, he was not at all afraid.

On this land where cultivation was sealed, his Martial God Domineering Body was more than enough to stride confidently.

This was also why those rumors had been circulating for more than a month, yet remained just that—rumors.

Li Muyang refused all banquet invitations and declined all attempts to get close to him. Every day, he would either go to the office to play games or return to the small courtyard within the City Lord's residence to play games.

His monotonous routine didn't give anyone a chance to plot against him covertly.

And because of his predictable routine, it, in turn, provided no opportunity for those people to make a move.

No one dared to attack Li Muyang in the street.

They lacked not only the strength but also the means to attack Li Muyang in public and still escape unscathed.

Li Muyang came nonchalantly to the tavern outside the City Lord's residence, and as usual, he ordered a few teas and settled into a private room.

Soon after, his adopted sister Li Yuechan came in with a tray of dishes.

"... Brother, the Sect Hierarch of the Blood Lotus Cult has returned," she said softly while kneeling beside him to serve the dishes.

Li Muyang nodded and replied, "I have to go and greet him tonight. All the cult members above the rank of Third-grade Lotus are expected to meet him outside the city."

As he spoke, Li Muyang looked at his adopted sister, "Speaking of which, now that Fang Yingtian is back, isn't it time for Elder Yan's plan to begin?"

"Previously, when Fang Yingtian was not in the city and he took many of the Blood Lotus Cult's experts with him, it was the best opportunity to make a move..."

Now that Fang Yingtian had unexpectedly returned early, this gave Li Muyang quite a headache.

Yan Xiaoru, who had been biding her time, wasn't going to delay things again, was she?

But his adopted sister shook her head with a giggling smile and said, "Brother, are you in a hurry? Don't be. Elder Yan said that her plan is progressing steadily."

'She's currently in the preparatory phase. Fang Yingtian coming back early won't affect the execution of our plan.'

'In fact, Fang Yingtian's return is a part of our plan.'

'This time, we aim not only to sever the connection between the Four Directions Cauldron and the Earth Pulse but also to gather all the high-ranking members of the Blood Lotus Cult and catch them all in one sweep!'

'So Fang Yingtian's return is actually a good thing.'

'Right now, Elder Yan is planning everything. You don't need to be anxious.'

A small tent had been set up in a vacant area beside the official road, where Shen Yan sat upright on a soft couch, wrapped in a thick cloak, with a hot charcoal brazier before her.

Despite the sweltering heat of the summer night being uncomfortable for ordinary people, Shen Yan still couldn't do without her charcoal brazier.

Li Muyang speculated that this might be due to Shen Yan's Twin Life sister, Shen Miao, being trapped inside the Four Sided Cauldron.

Shen Miao, a spirit being, existed in some kind of symbiotic, bizarre state with her sister.

Perhaps if Shen Miao were to be rescued from the Four Sided Cauldron, Shen Yan might be free from this frail and cold-fearing condition.

Li Muyang pondered this but suddenly became aware of a hostile gaze upon him.

Though he had numerous enemies within the Blood Lotus Sect, there were really only a few who dared to show such hostility towards him on such an occasion.

Li Muyang turned his head and saw a woman, not far off, dressed in a scholar's robes, looking at him provocatively.

When Li Muyang looked over, the beautiful woman dressed in men's clothes even let out a cold laugh and raised her eyebrows at him.

"Li Muyang, you still dare to show your face outside... I thought you had already hidden yourself away, turned into a shrinking turtle."

Nangong Ting, once the Junior Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley and one of the four major Incense Masters of the Blood Lotus Sect, had not seen Li Muyang since the upheaval in Tianjiao City.

Now that they had finally met again, the eyes of the woman who Li Muyang had tortured in the prison until she begged for death were full of a frigid intent to kill.

Facing the animosity of an old enemy, Li Muyang was exceptionally calm.

"Incense Master Nangong, could it be that you still hold a grudge over the past events?"

Nangong Ting curved her lips into a smile, chillingly, "Hold a grudge? I am not one to be petty."

"It's just that recently there's been no shortage of rumors in the city; Li Banner Master, you're said to be domineering, making countless enemies. Many discerning individuals want to take your head."

"I find this quite concerning. How about you visit my residence tomorrow, and we have an in-depth discussion about this?"

Nangong Ting smiled and continued, "My father also remembers Banner Master Li quite well; he would love to see you again."

Nangong Ting's smile was radiant.

Li Muyang, however, glanced at the other few Hall Masters and Banner Masters lined up in front, shaking his head.

"I'm not free tomorrow, let's postpone it..."

Go to the mansion of a freak like you for a feast?

It's not like my brain has a hole; why would I possibly attend such a set-up?

Rather than wasting time with someone like you who likes dressing in men's clothes, I'd prefer to go home and play video games.

Wait till I release the spirit being from the Four Sided Cauldron, then watch how I deal with the arrogance of your Blood Lotus Sect!
