The Lunar Mountain city was located in the south, some distance away from the Magnificent Flame Sect.
The city was surrounded by mountains. Looking from the city walls, one could see that the mountain range was like a dragon's vein, extending far into the distance.
People walked to and fro on the streets. Vendors could be seen hawking their wares on both sides of the road.
Bang!
Suddenly.
A figure flew out of a shop called 'Medicine Hall' and landed on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Following that, a chubby young woman ran out of the shop, crying. "Zhenshan, are you alright?"
She then glared at the people in the shop. "What are you doing?"
Just then, a man in brocade clothes walked out and opened his fan.
"What are you doing? Don't you know what I'm doing? Or are you ignoring my words? I'm interested in the Medicine Hall, and I'll buy your shop for ten thousand YHB. You have three days to move out, or you'll have to bear the consequences. "
As soon as the man in brocade clothes walked out, the crowd whispered among themselves, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
Luo Zhenshan wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. "Impossible, this is daylight robbery. As the mayor's son, how can you bully us citizens?"
"Hahaha, what a joke, what a joke. If you don't give me face, why should I give you face? Listen up, move out within three days, or you'll have to bear the consequences. "The man in brocade clothes said.
At the same time, there were three men following behind him. The three of them had calm expressions on their faces, but their gazes were extremely sharp. In their eyes, everything was just prey.
"As the mayor's son, how can you do such a thing? My brother is a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. He will definitely report your evil deeds to the sect and punish you." Huang Qinghua said angrily.
"Your brother, oh, I know, Huang Fugui. He joined the Magnificent Flame Sect, and I think he's a first-class outer disciple. I'm so scared, so scared."
"Hahahaha!"
"A first-class outer disciple wants to report to the sect? I don't think he has the guts to do so."
The man in the brocade robe laughed out loud. He did not take Lin Fan's words to heart. This was a faraway place, and his father was the city lord. Even the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples guarding the Lunar Mountain city had silently agreed to it. They could live the rest of their lives in peace, so why would they care about these things?
So what if I report this to the sect? The Magnificent Flame Sect disciple guarding this place will be responsible for it. In the end, they can do whatever they want.
Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something.
"I heard that the two of you are getting married soon. Remember, be tactful. Don't let the wedding turn into a ghost marriage. If that happens, it won't be good."
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed heartily and left.
"Pfft!" Luo Zhenshan glared at the figure that was leaving.
In a luxurious mansion.
The man in embroidered clothes walked in from outside and entered the hall. When he saw the people in the hall, he immediately went forward.
"Father."
"Lord Li."
Two people could be seen sitting in the hall, chatting with each other.
Li An was the Magnificent Flame Sect disciple guarding the Lunar Mountain city. He had been here for eight years. When he first arrived, he was not used to it and wanted to go back to the sect. However, as time passed, he gradually fell in love with this place. Now, he did not want to leave even if he was told to.
"Son, how's it going?" The city lord asked.
"Father, the Luo family doesn't know what's good for them. They still refuse to sell the land, but I've already given them an ultimatum. If they don't move out in three days, then …" The man in embroidered clothes raised his hand and gestured at his neck.
"Mhmm. We can't let anyone know about this no matter what. The Luo family refused to sell the land no matter how much they offered. "The Lunar Mountain city lord said angrily." Lord Li, do you really think that there's a Yuan crystal mine there? "
Li An nodded, "Yes, there's no mistaking it. That place is indeed a Yuan Crystal mine. If we can mine it without anyone knowing, the wealth we'll gain will be incomparably shocking. At that time, we won't be able to buy anything we want."
"Hahaha." A smile appeared on the Lunar Mountain city lord's face when he heard Li An's words. It was a Yuan crystal mine, an extremely valuable material. Even the Magnificent Flame Sect did not have many of them.
If they could take control of the Yuan crystal mine, they would be able to make a name for themselves in the future.
Not only the Magnificent Flame Sect needed it, but other sects also needed it. They could even use the Yuan crystal mine to buy many things, including Earth-high-class pills.
As for giving the Yuan crystal mine to the Magnificent Flame Sect, they were thinking too much. How could they give it to the Magnificent Flame Sect?
"Father, Luo Zhenshan's fiancée has a brother who's a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. He's a first-class outer disciple too. Do you think there'll be any trouble?" The man in brocade clothes said. He was ready to kill. This was a competition of wealth, and they could not afford to miss it. No matter how powerful they were, they would still be able to get it.
Li An replied, "That's not a big deal. He's just a first-rank outer disciple, not worth mentioning. The sect has countless disciples like him. Even if he reports it, it won't be a big deal. In the end, the sect will send a message to me and I'll deal with it. When that time comes, I'll just need to say a few words and he'll be sent away."
"Lord Li, will there be any problems if we kill that disciple?" The man in brocade clothes asked.
He felt that killing the disciple was the best way to ensure his safety.
Li An went silent for a while. "It's not a big problem, but we need to plan it carefully. After all, if a disciple dies outside, the Magnificent Flame Sect will investigate. But this is the Lunar Mountain city, and the mountains are everywhere. We can just hide the corpse after killing the disciple. Furthermore, the disciples who go out for training usually won't return for a few years.
"If it weren't for Huang Qinghua's brother, we wouldn't need to go through so much trouble." The man in brocade clothes laughed.
"Son, you can't be so reckless. The people here aren't blind." The city lord said.
"Yes."
One of the residences could only be considered an ordinary family.
"Brother Zhenshan, does it hurt?" Huang Qinghua said as she applied the medicine on the man. She thought of the incident and was furious. "They're too much. Is the mayor not going to do anything?"
"Hmph, I think it's not that he's not going to do anything. He just doesn't want to do anything." Luo Zhenshan said angrily.
"Daughter, what should we do?" The old lady was worried. The mayor's son only gave us three days. What should we do? Our wedding is just around the corner, and it's going to be ruined just like that.
Luo Zhenshan was in pain, but he endured it. "Qinghua, don't worry. Our wedding will not be delayed. I'll go back and discuss it with my father now."
After applying the medicine, Luo Zhenshan left in a hurry.
They couldn't let the mayor's son do as he pleased. Wanting to buy their shop with just ten thousand YHB was too much. They were the owners of the land.
This was the rule set by Emperor Yanhua.
They had the right to use the land and the right to buy and sell it. No one could force them to buy or sell it.
"Mother, do you think brother can help Zhenshan if he comes back?" Huang Qinghua asked anxiously.
The old lady shook her head. "Daughter, how is that possible? Your brother is just an outer disciple, and he's the mayor. We can't afford to offend him, not even your brother."
"Then what should we do? Brother Zhenshan is stubborn, and he won't give in. I'm afraid that something bad will happen to him if they really do something to him."
Huang Qinghua and Luo Zhenshan were childhood sweethearts. They weren't as well-off as Luo Zhenshan, but since Huang Qinghua's brother was a first-class outer disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, they were a good match.
Luo Zhenshan's family didn't stop them. Since they knew each other since they were young, they agreed.
Three days later.
On a precipitous cliff.
A few figures could be seen coming from afar. They were all standing on the cliff. Huang Fugui looked into the distance and pointed. "Senior Brother, look. That's my hometown, the Lunar Mountain city. It's been a few years since I left home and joined the Magnificent Flame Sect."
"Junior Brother Huang, do you feel that your hometown is right in front of you?" Lin Fan laughed.
"Yeah. I wonder how my sister and mother are doing. They were too poor in the past, so I came to the Magnificent Flame Sect to give them the best life I could. I gradually changed the situation at home, but luckily, my sister is sensible enough to take care of mother, so I can stay in the Magnificent Flame Sect with peace of mind."
Huang Fugui sighed. He thought back to how he went through so many hardships to join the Magnificent Flame Sect, and he sighed.
After that, he fought with Senior Brother Lin and became a member of the Invincible peak. It's such a huge change.
"You guys insisted on looking at the scenery. We wasted a lot of time walking here. If we had gone into the void, we would have arrived a long time ago."
Along the way, Lin Fan brought them into the void. They would have arrived in half a day at most, but they wasted a lot of time walking around.
But it's nice to be able to see the scenery of the Magnificent Flame Sect.
Standing on the mountain peak, Lin Fan could feel an aura, as if everything was in his hands.
"Come, let's go to the Lunar Mountain city. I want to see how beautiful Junior Brother Huang's hometown is."
Lin Fan spread his arms and brought the group to the sky. Since they were so close, there was no need for them to go into the void.
Lunar Mountain city, entrance.
Just as the group was about to enter the city, they were stopped by the guards at the entrance.
"Please pay the entrance fee. Ten YHB per person." A guard said.
Huang Fugui was stunned. "Entrance fee? Since when? I don't think there's such a rule in the Magnificent Flame Sect."
"Pay to enter the city. If not, please leave." The guard said impatiently.
Huang Fugui wanted to argue with the guard, but thinking that his family was in the city, he gave up. He paid sixty YHB and entered the city.
