invite

After Zhong Qing became the Sect Master of the Phoenix Feather Sect, the first order he issued was to recall all talented and strong individuals from the Phoenix Feather Sect's affiliated forces.

At the same time, he instructed them to invite several people to be guests at the Phoenix Feather Sect.

The higher-ups of the Phoenix Feather Sect naturally dared not disobey his command.

They immediately conveyed the order downwards.

Wanbian City!

Seventh Elder and Lu Feng were still searching for Zhong Qing's whereabouts in the surrounding area.

At this moment, Seventh Elder frowned tightly, looking puzzled, and said, "How strange, I have already used my Divine Sense to search an area of ten thousand li, but I still can't find any trace of that scoundrel."

"This person's concealment methods are truly remarkable!"

Lu Feng, beside Seventh Elder, also had a somewhat grim expression.

He had originally thought that since Zhong Qing had appeared and his exact location was known, it would not be difficult to find him again.

But to their surprise, even after searching an area of tens of thousands of li, they still couldn't find any clues about Zhong Qing.

Capturing Zhong Qing was his only chance to atone for his sins.

But now, he couldn't even find the person, and this journey of atonement still seemed long and arduous!

In the vast mountain forest, Lu Feng looked at the boundless mountains, his eyes deep, unconsciously clenching his fists: "Where exactly are you?"

It could be said that, to a certain extent, Zhong Qing had already become his Heart Demon.

If he couldn't capture Zhong Qing, he would never find peace in this life.

"Seventh Elder, why don't we send people to search separately!"

Lu Feng was eager to seek revenge on Zhong Qing and immediately suggested.

The latter pondered, and just as he was about to agree, a message suddenly came through his Jade Slip.

After he saw the information on the Jade Slip, his expression shifted slightly.

He then said to Lu Feng, "No need to search, the Sect is urgently summoning us back."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Feng was inexplicably stunned.

"Has something major happened to the Sect? We came here so aggressively this time, and now we haven't even found the enemy's shadow. If we leave like this, wouldn't we just become a laughingstock to the world?"

"I don't know, the Sect Master didn't say what it was."

"However, since it's the Sect Master's order, there must be a reason."

"Moreover, the Sect Master is not only summoning us, but all members of the Sect forces dispersed outside must return immediately."

"Unless something extremely urgent has happened, the Sect Master would certainly not summon us so hastily."

"Let's go!"

Lu Feng was unwilling.

He naturally didn't want to go back like this.

But he had to obey the Sect Master's order.

He could only follow Seventh Elder and the main group, unwillingly and reluctantly.

At the same time, he was extremely surprised in his heart: What exactly is it? That requires all Phoenix Feather Sect members to return.

...

At the same time!

City Lord's Mansion!

At this moment, Wang Liang, who had been promoted to Core Disciple, arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Envoy, what brings you here?"

City Lord Gu Yan came out to greet him immediately.

Wang Liang was in a good mood.

"This is a great thing for City Lord Gu Yan."

"The Sect's higher-ups sincerely invite City Lord Gu Yan and your esteemed daughter to be guests at the Phoenix Feather Sect."

"I suppose my kind words for City Lord Gu Yan some time ago had an effect."

"Congratulations, City Lord Gu Yan, your status will surely rise to another level in the near future!"

Among the people invited by Zhong Qing, City Lord Gu Yan and his daughter were among them.

Of course, Wang Liang naturally didn't know about any of this.

He still thought it was because of his suggestions to the Sect's higher-ups some time ago that had an effect.

Therefore, the Sect's higher-ups were preparing to invite the two to be guests, to conduct an inspection, and then entrust them with important responsibilities.

Hearing this, City Lord Gu Yan's heart stirred.

During this time, Wang Liang's desire to recruit him was almost written on his face.

He was not surprised by Wang Liang's attitude.

However, the news that the Phoenix Feather Sect was inviting him caused huge waves in his heart.

Zhong Qing had said before that he was going to settle things with the Phoenix Feather Sect.

But now, there was no news at all.

Facing this sudden invitation from the Phoenix Feather Sect, his heart was a bit in disarray.

He, a mere City Lord, what virtue or ability did he have? To be invited by the Phoenix Feather Sect?

If it was said to be because of Wang Liang, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

After all, Wang Liang's cultivation was only at the Three Yang Second Realm. Although he held the identity of a Phoenix Feather Sect Core Disciple and had a high status outside.

But in the entire Phoenix Feather Sect, his words truly didn't carry much weight.

Could it be because of Mr. Zhong Qing?

The only thing he could think of was that it was related to Zhong Qing.

But if it was related to Zhong Qing, at this time, shouldn't the Phoenix Feather Sect people come to capture him? Why invite him?

He couldn't figure it out, truly couldn't figure it out.

While boundless waves surged in his heart, he said calmly on his face, "Envoy, when shall we depart?"

Wang Liang: "Naturally, the sooner the better!"

City Lord Gu Yan: "Please wait a moment, Envoy, I will go and call my daughter!"

He bade farewell to Wang Liang and, full of worries, found Gu Man.

"Xiao Man, what do you think the Phoenix Feather Sect is up to?"

City Lord Gu Yan told his daughter about the Phoenix Feather Sect's invitation to be guests, full of confusion.

The Phoenix Feather Sect's attitude was truly perplexing.

Gu Man was also full of questions after listening.

She had a vague feeling that this matter was most likely related to her teacher.

But no matter how hard she racked her brain, she would never have imagined that the current Zhong Qing had become the de facto master of the Phoenix Feather Sect.

Seeing that his daughter also had no idea, City Lord Gu Yan said in a deep voice, "I think this trip, more often than not, is not a good thing."

"Why don't we escape!"

"If the Phoenix Feather Sect harbors ill will towards us, this trip might be a one-way ticket to death."

"Although Wang Liang's cultivation is not bad, with my strength, if he tries to stop us, I have a very good chance of killing him on the spot."

"Father, no!"

Gu Man shook her head and said, "The entire Chaotic Land is within the Phoenix Feather Sect's sphere of influence. If we kill a Phoenix Feather Sect member, with our strength, we will never be able to escape the Phoenix Feather Sect's pursuit."

"It is said that if it's a blessing, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided."

"Many things seem to have choices, but in reality, fate has already marked out the only Dao for us."

"I think it's better to go and see."

"Perhaps the situation is not as bad as we imagine."

City Lord Gu Yan was persuaded.

Then, the father and daughter set off, full of worries, following Wang Liang on the Dao to the Phoenix Feather Sect.

Along the way, Wang Liang was in an extremely good mood.

He felt that since the Sect had summoned the father and daughter to be guests, it must be a sign that they were about to be heavily relied upon.

And all of this was his credit.

If the father and daughter were to be heavily relied upon, they would surely be grateful to him in the future.

Thus, for him to then take them as his confidants would be a matter of course.

He was unaware that while he was Want to make him your confidant, the other party had repeatedly harbored murderous intent towards him.

If the other party hadn't been relatively restrained, his ashes would have been scattered countless times over.
