Lang Feng City, City Lord's residence.
In a room in a courtyard, Su Zimo and Lin Luo were resting with their eyes closed.
However, there was a hint of worry in Lin Luo's eyes and she seemed a little uneasy.
Not long after, Su Zimo suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "Something's not right. The City Lord seems to be too polite to us."
Lin Luo also turned to look and seemed to have realized something. "That's true. I've only met him once and I've never heard Big Brother mention anything about us being friends."
"Let's go out and take a look."
Su Zimo said and got up to open the door. Lin Luo followed quickly.
The two of them had just walked out of the room when they sensed that there were many cultivators guarding the periphery of the courtyard.
When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Su Zimo saw a man in armor not far away with his back facing them and his arms crossed.
That person turned around slowly. It was one of the commanders of Lang Feng City, Jiang Xuanyou!
"Where are the two of you going?"
Jiang Xuanyou asked.
Su Zimo's expression was calm as he replied casually, "It's my first time in Lang Feng City, so I'm just walking around."
"That's how it should be."
Jiang Xuanyou nodded and did not say anything else.
However, Su Zimo and Lin Luo did not walk far before they realized that Jiang Xuanyou was following closely behind them with a group of Imperial Guards.
After a while, Su Zimo suddenly stopped and turned around. He smiled at Jiang Xuanyou and said, "Commander Jiang, you have an important position. There's no need to pay attention to us. The two of us are just looking around."
Jiang Xuanyou said, "The City Lord has instructed that the two of you are guests of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain and that I'll bring my men to protect the two of you. There can't be any more mishaps."
Lin Luo sneered in her heart and could not help but say, "What danger can there be in Lang Feng City?"
"Nothing is absolute. Just in case."
Jiang Xuanyou said expressionlessly.
It did not seem like he was protecting them but guarding them!
Su Zimo and Wang Chong knew this, but they couldn't say anything.
Even if they shed all pretense of cordiality on the spot, it would be useless.
Jiang Xuanyou was a True Immortal. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would still be no match for him.
Not to mention, there was a group of Imperial Army soldiers around them.
Su Zimo and Wang Chong casually walked around Langfeng City. With Jiang Xuanyou and the other Imperial Army soldiers guarding them, no one dared to approach them and had long since avoided them.
Under such circumstances, the two of them were not in the mood to stroll around and returned to the courtyard early.
"What does Jiang Xuanyou want to do?"
Lin Luo returned to her room. She was furious and couldn't help but say, "What kind of protection is this? He's clearly monitoring us!"
"This is probably Song Xuan's intention."
Su Zimo closed his eyes and sensed for a long time. Then, he said slowly, "Jiang Xuanyou is not the only True Immortal in the vicinity of this courtyard. There should be more than ten of them. “
Although his Divine Sense could not detect these True Immortals, Qinglian's five senses were sharp and her spiritual sense was terrifying. She could vaguely sense a dozen of faintly discernible powerful auras!
"So many True Immortals?"
Lin Luo was secretly shocked. Her expression was grave as she murmured softly, "What exactly does Song Xuan want to do?"
Su Zimo pondered and said, "More than ten True Immortals are guarding nearby. I'm afraid it's not as simple as monitoring. It's more like … imprisonment!"
Imprisonment!
Lin Luo's expression changed as she seemed to have thought of something. She hurriedly took out a Message Talisman from her storage bag and whispered, "I have to send a message to Big Brother and tell him not to come!"
Although Lin Luo did not understand Song Xuan's intention, she already knew that something was wrong and wanted to stop Lin Lei from coming.
"I'm afraid it's useless."
Su Zimo shook his head slightly and said, "If Song Xuan really wants to imprison us, he will naturally cut off your communication channel with the outside world."
Just as expected.
Lin Luo silently cast a spell and tore the Message Talisman apart. The contents of the Message Talisman turned into a ball of light and did not escape into the void. Instead, it hovered in the room.
Before long, it dissipated as well.
The communication failed. Lin Luo clenched her fists instinctively. She was worried and helpless, not knowing what to do for a moment.
There must be some sort of restriction array formation set up around this courtyard that could prevent any information from being transmitted.
There was no solution to this. Even if they left the courtyard, they would be under the surveillance of Jiang Xuanyou and the other True Immortals.
Even if Lin Luo could take out a Message Talisman, it would be interrupted and she would not be able to send a message out.
Su Zimo, on the other hand, appeared rather calm.
In his storage bag, he still had a teleportation jade badge that the Patriarch of the academy had given him back then.
This was his escape route and what he was relying on!
Even if Song Xuan was present, as long as he crushed the teleportation jade badge, he would be able to leave this place with Lin Luo and return to Qiankun Academy, let alone a dozen True Immortals.
At that time, Lin Luo would be able to use the teleportation array of the academy to return to the Green Firmament Immortal Domain.
The teleportation jade badge was a life-saving measure. Unless it was a last resort, he would naturally not take it out immediately.
Su Zimo was about to tell Lin Luo about this matter to comfort her when Lin Luo suddenly stood up and said softly, "Let's go out and test it out again. We'll say that we're going to the teleportation array in the city and see how Jiang Xuanyou reacts."
Lin Luo was still unwilling to believe this and still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Alright."
Su Zimo nodded and left the room with Lin Luo, arriving at the entrance of the courtyard.
Jiang Xuanyou, who was not far away, immediately welcomed them. With a cold expression, he asked, "Where are the two of you going?"
"Where's the teleportation array in the city?"
Lin Luo asked directly.
A strange look appeared in Jiang Xuanyou's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said indifferently, "It's the Feast of Peaches now. The timing is special, so the teleportation array in the city is temporarily closed and cannot be used."
Hearing this, Lin Luo no longer had any doubts in her heart.
They had been placed under house arrest by Song Xuan!
Jiang Xuanyou said, "During the Feast of Peaches, the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain's Heaven Roll Competition, which occurs once every 100,000 years, is in full swing. If the two of you are interested, I can accompany you to take a look."
"Not interested!"
Lin Luo replied coldly and said, "Let's go!"
After that, Su Zimo and Lin Luo turned around and walked towards the room.
Jiang Xuanyou looked at their backs with a mocking expression. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said loudly, "The City Lord said that if the two of you are not interested in the Feast of Peaches, you can also take a seat at the Feast of Blood Peaches."
"All these years, the City Lord has painstakingly cultivated a mutated Blood Peach Tree. The fruit is about to ripen. If the two of you are interested, I can also take you to take a look. It's a rare opportunity."
"Hmph! “
Lin Luo snorted coldly and walked ahead.
She was upset and worried about her family. How could she be in the mood to visit the peach tree?
However, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat. He frowned and gradually stopped in his tracks. He narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression was uncertain. No one knew what he was thinking.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Luo asked subconsciously when she saw Su Zimo's strange expression.
Su Zimo ignored her and slowly turned around. He looked at Jiang Xuanyou, who was not far away, and asked with a smile, "Commander Jiang, what's the Blood Peach Tree you mentioned just now?"
Jiang Xuanyou did not think much of it and said, "This Peach Tree of Peaches was originally a superior immortal seedling. After the City Lord nourished it with the blood of the humanoid peach spirit, this Peach Tree of Peaches was reborn and evolved into a mutated tree!"
"It's no exaggeration to say that this Blood Peach Tree is the only one in the Heaven Realm and even the entire Upper Realm!"
Jiang Xuanyou raised his head slightly and said proudly. He did not notice that Su Zimo's face gradually darkened.
