What kind of change was going to happen?
Du Feng still couldn't figure out what was going on that made a hermit expert like the old man leave in a hurry. He didn't even want the house and the goods. At least the goods could be taken away in the Storage Ring. Before he could figure it out, the old man turned into a breeze and disappeared.
So fast, so fast that Du Feng couldn't react at all. It seemed that the old man's Cultivation was not as simple as the Earth Celestial Stage. He didn't know why he opened a bookstore here. He didn't know why he left in a hurry and gave him a house and all the goods for no reason.
Du Feng stood in the study room for a long time and only reacted when someone entered.
"You are the new owner, right? Come to the Governor's Mansion to register."
It turned out that it was the official of the Governor's Mansion. This official was not ordinary. Old Xue and the other city guards couldn't compare. He was the Cultivation of the Earth Celestial Stage. He was tall and strong with a square face and a big mouth. His eyes were bright and full of expression. Ordinary people would be afraid when they were stared at by him.
"Okay, please lead the way, Sir."
Du Feng wasn't nervous because he didn't steal or rob. This shop was a gift from the owner. Even if there were any problems, the Governor's Mansion would take the house. But when he entered the office of the Governor's Mansion, he found that things weren't that simple.
Not to mention anything else, just this lineup was scary enough. In the hall of the office of the Governor's Mansion, along the red carpet stood two rows of fully armed officials. These were not ordinary city guards, but the elite guards of the Governor's Mansion, also known as the Quarterly Army.
As the elite guards of the Governor's Mansion, their strength was higher than the team leader. They were all at the peak of the ninth stage of the Heaven Realm. And they were all strong. Even the average Earth Celestial Stage might not be able to defeat them. Just like that, a total of 60 elite guards stood there in two rows. If an Earth Celestial Stage martial artist was surrounded, he might really be beaten to death.
What was even more ridiculous was that at the end of the line, there was a big man with purple hair and a beard, standing there with a long handle Langya Stick. Looking at the way he was blowing his beard and glaring, it was as if he was going to open his mouth and eat someone at any time.
The man who led the way for Du Feng was strong enough, and he was at Level 3 of the Earth Celestial Cultivation Stage. The bearded, purple-haired man was even more muscular. His muscles felt like they were about to explode. The key was that his Cultivation Level was also higher. His powerful aura made Du Feng uncomfortable. He couldn't judge his real Cultivation Level. He only knew that his Cultivation Level was higher than Level 3 of the Earth Celestial Stage.
Why did they call him here? Even if they wanted to arrest someone or even kill someone, they didn't have to make such a big scene. Du Feng couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
In the end, a normal transfer was made, and he was given a permanent identity in Season City. From then on, there would be no more restrictions on the number of years. Not only that, because his house was large and located in a good location, it actually came with 20 places to settle. Why did they have to make such a big scene for such a good thing? This made Du Feng speechless.
Foreign martial artists could temporarily settle under his name, and after they earned enough Contribution Points, they could really settle down. The Zhou Family had lived in Season City for generations, and they only had a total of five places. Because the old people had passed away, the remaining three places could be sold for money.
Not only did Du Feng become a permanent resident himself, but he also had 20 empty places in his hands. Of course, there was one thing that caught his attention during the transfer, and it was the clay box with his handprint. When he put his finger in, he could clearly feel a trace of True Core in his body being drawn out.
Although it was only a trace, he could still feel it. After the True Core was drawn out, the official's expression relaxed, and the rest of the matter was settled smoothly.
Du Feng thought about it carefully on the way to the shop. It didn't seem to be as simple as the transfer of the house, but he also verified his identity. It wasn't an ordinary verification, but a verification of the martial artist's race. That clay box was probably an amazing treasure.
"No problem, an authentic human martial artist, and a sword cultivator."
As expected, the City Lord's Mansion had already verified Du Feng's identity. There were no suspicions of him being a demon cultivator or a ghost cultivator, and he wasn't even tainted with the blood of the demon race. He was a very pure human martial artist, and a sword cultivator with strong combat abilities.
Although Du Feng could use the innate skills of the Dragons, Phoenixes, and other races, that was because Du Tulong was around, and he was indeed a human martial artist. Even the demonic skills, it was because Du Tulong had absorbed a demonic beast, and it wouldn't change Du Feng's bloodline. It could be said that as long as Du Tulong was around, he could impersonate almost any bloodline descendant. But as long as he kept it, no matter how he was tested, he would still be a normal human martial artist.
What did it mean that the weather was about to change? Was there going to be a big inspection in Season City? Could it be that the old man left in a hurry because he was afraid of being found out? Du Feng pondered for a while, and it was really possible.
Du Feng came out of the City Lord's Mansion's office with a dumbfounded look, and strolled towards the bookstore. On the way, he was still pondering the purpose of the City Lord's Mansion putting on such a big show. It was probably to catch the demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and demon race spies lurking in Season City.
Could it be that the Heaven Realm was going to war with them again? Otherwise, why would it be so serious? Maybe it was going to be a big war. With his current Cultivation level, he was not qualified to participate in such a large-scale war. If he went, he would be purely going to be cannon fodder. Chen Lei's escape this time might have been a fluke, or else he would definitely be found out.
Du Feng seemed to have guessed part of it, but not all of it. If he was just a pauper living in the slums, he wouldn't have been so seriously investigated. At most, he would be slightly checked when he passed through the city gates. As long as he hid well, he might not be found out.
But to become a permanent resident and the owner of the bookstore, that was a different matter. It should be known that Du Feng had a quota of twenty permanent residences. If he got twenty spies to hide in his house, it would be a huge threat to Season City. Moreover, the bookstore's normal business was to earn money, and it was also protected by the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen Lei sneaked in by seizing the body of an old resident of Season City was already a very clever move. Under normal circumstances, residents born in Season City would not be checked again, but of course, there were special exceptions.
