Chapter 201: Strangers from Now On

However, after he finished speaking, Ancestor Long Zizai paused in a daze himself…

The members of the Long Family behind him were also stunned…

Xiao Fan also smiled bitterly…

They all cast their gazes toward Jingchuan City; from the outside, it already looked like a sea of fire…

Who knew if the Long Mansion had been destroyed?

"It is fine. When we were fighting just now, we did not go near the Long Mansion."

The one who spoke was Jiang Yushan; as the person involved, he naturally knew very well where the fight had taken place.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Long Zizai heaved a sigh of relief, as did the members of the Long Family behind him.

If the Long Mansion were destroyed, that would be a minor matter…

The problem was not knowing how to host these five important figures before them…

To be able to host five Elders of the Jixian Sect at the same time… if this matter got out, his Long Family would profit immensely.

Even powerful neighboring families like the Murong Family would never dare to offend his Long Family in the future.

At this moment, another figure hurried over. Upon arriving, he directly clasped his hands in a respectful bow:

"Jingchuan City Lord, Lu Zhiming, pays respects to all Seniors."

City Lord Lu Zhiming was bewildered…

Previously, when Xiao Tian and Shou Yuanzhong came, he had gone to pay his respects, but the other party was very arrogant and completely ignored him, the City Lord…

Later, when Elder Cao Mu and Jiang Yushan came, he did not have a chance to show his face…

Nor did he dare to show his face…

Although he was the City Lord of Jingchuan, appointed by the Wuhuang Dynasty, being able to befriend and get to know a powerhouse of the Xuandan Realm would bring him infinite benefits…

Especially since the people opposite him were five Elders of the Jixian Sect…

As the City Lord, he naturally knew very well how strong the Jixian Sect was.

And among them, two had terrifying auras…

Although he could not detect their cultivation, he estimated that they had already surpassed the Xuandan Realm…

That would mean they were powerhouses of the Yuanhun Realm…

Kong Ping nodded with a chuckle but did not speak.

Jiang Yushan ignored him completely and did not even turn his head…

Elder Cao Mu glanced at him but had no interest in bothering with a City Lord of the Tongtian Realm; He Yutang remained expressionless, a cold face…

Warrior Feng nodded but had no intention of paying him any mind.

This made City Lord Lu Zhiming's expression somewhat ugly… Unfortunately, he dared not lose his temper and could only stand there awkwardly.

As a City Lord coming to pay respects, he ended up with no one even acknowledging him…

Especially since the city outskirts were filled with citizens fleeing from within the city…

A large group of people saw him come over.

He had lost too much face.

Ancestor Long Zizai even felt a bit embarrassed for City Lord Lu Zhiming…

However, he could not say anything, as he was not familiar with the five people opposite him either.

At this moment, Xiao Fan took two steps forward and clasped his hands in a bow toward City Lord Lu Zhiming: "City Lord Lu, it has been a long time."

City Lord Lu Zhiming naturally knew that Xiao Fan had returned, and he knew it better than anyone…

"Young Friend Xiao, it has been a long time."

City Lord Lu Zhiming was all smiles; having someone come to speak to him at least meant he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Previously, when people from the Piaomiao Immortal Palace came to cause trouble, I had not yet thanked City Lord Lu in person. Today, several Sect Elders of mine are here, so we will return to the Long Mansion first. When I have time in the future, I, Xiao Fan, will personally visit the City Lord's Mansion to pay my respects."

"Very good, very good."

City Lord Lu Zhiming nodded with a smile…

Warrior Feng, He Yutang, and the others all glanced at City Lord Lu Zhiming…

Seeming to understand something…

"You are not bad; you have helped the Disciples of my Jixian Sect." Warrior Feng smiled and patted City Lord Lu Zhiming on the shoulder.

He Yutang nodded and took a few more looks at City Lord Lu Zhiming.

Elder Cao Mu nodded; although he did not speak, his expression was not as cold…

Even Jiang Yushan gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

Kong Ping also smiled: "If you have time in the future, you can come to the Jixian Sect as a guest."

Seeing the change in attitude of these Jixian Sect Elders, and hearing Kong Ping's words…

City Lord Lu Zhiming hurriedly bowed in thanks: "Thank you, Seniors."

At the same time, he cast a grateful look at Xiao Fan.

That the five of them could change their attitude toward him was, of course, thanks to Xiao Fan…

A single sentence from Xiao Fan had made five powerhouses remember him.

Otherwise, those five Jixian Sect Elders would never have bothered with a City Lord of the Tongtian Realm…

And Xiao Fan's words not only saved him from embarrassment but also earned him the appreciation of five Jixian Sect powerhouses…

"Seniors, please, this way."

Ancestor Long Zizai stepped out and said with a smile…

Kong Ping, Warrior Feng, and the others nodded and followed Ancestor Long Zizai into Jingchuan City.

The damage inside the city was actually not too great; the main battlefield was only near the City Lord's Mansion.

Other places were only affected by the aftermath of the great battle.

The group entered Jingchuan City…

Xiao Fan now only had one arm left, and Long Miaoyin supported him by the other; the two walked at the very back.

Arriving before the Jingchuan city gate, Xiao Fan silently turned around, his gaze looking into the crowd of the Xiao Family.

Long Miaoyin stood quietly to the side, silently accompanying him.

His eyes were very complex, his face pale as paper. After a long while, he seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps speaking to someone…

"Regardless of whether you can still survive, from now on, you and I are no longer brothers. Past grievances have all vanished like smoke… we are strangers."

After saying this, he turned around and left with Long Miaoyin.

A pair of biological brothers.

Strangers from now on…

In Xiao Fan's heart, his younger brother had always been his Heart Demon, especially after he was beaten half to death and sent to the Long Family.

Now that the grievances were settled, the Heart Demon was gone.

From now on, his Dao Heart was clear.

City Lord Lu Zhiming sent them off with a face full of smiles…

At the same time, he was also alarmed…

Since these people appeared here, didn't that mean Shou Yuanzhong had already been defeated… or had perished?

Thinking of this, he felt a lingering fear…

His body even trembled slightly…

Then he took a deep breath and decided to report this matter immediately afterward.

As for the rest, he would leave it to the important figures of the Wuhuang Dynasty to handle.

Immediately afterward, he began to disperse the citizens, and led people into Jingchuan City to inspect the damage, as well as handle the subsequent resettlement issues.

The people of the Xiao Family all had ugly expressions…

The people of the Long Family had already entered the city…

And those Elders had all appeared.

But Shou Yuanzhong's figure was nowhere to be seen.

A bad premonition spread through the hearts of the Xiao Family members…
