With a flash of white light, Tang Fei and the others appeared in Ya Long City. They had no choice, the Lost Soul City-State wouldn't let them enter, so they could only return to Ya Long City.
Although Tang Fei said before that Stonehammer wouldn't do anything to him, when Stonehammer said that he would capture them and hand them over to the Holy Court, Tang Fei didn't dare to take this risk. This was because he was afraid.
Of course, Tang Fei was afraid. But if he was captured by Stonehammer and handed over to the Holy Court, then regardless of what Stonehammer and the others would do, or how the Holy Court would retaliate against the Lost Soul City-State, Tang Fei and the others would be punished.
Tang Fei wasn't an idiot, he was just too proud. He was also very clear about the subtle relationship between the Holy Court and the other city-states. At this time, the other city-states no longer listened to the Holy Court. If they were captured by the Lost Soul City-State and sent back to the Holy Court, then the Holy Court's prestige would suffer another blow. At that time, no one would listen to the Holy Court, and the situation would worsen. And those who caused the situation to worsen, the Holy Court wouldn't let them off.
Because of this, Tang Fei didn't dare to take this risk. If the Lost Soul City-State sent someone to guard the transmission formation, then Tang Fei might still dare to take the risk. This was because he was still very confident in the Holy Court. He believed that the Lost Soul City-State wouldn't easily go to war with the Holy Court. Therefore, the Lost Soul City-State wouldn't dare to do anything to them.
However, when Tang Fei discovered that his opponent was Stonehammer, he didn't dare to act recklessly. This was because he knew that the Sacred Court and Stonehammer had a huge grudge against each other. He still thought that Stonehammer's master was Crane Grue. He also knew that Crane Grue had died in the Secret Realm. Moreover, the reason why Crane Grue was able to enter the Secret Realm was because of the Sacred Court. Nobody can guarantee that Stonehammer wouldn't take this opportunity to deal with them. He might even provoke a war between the Sacred Court and the Lost Soul City in order to avenge Crane Grue. Because of this consideration, Tang Fei didn't dare to make a move.
In the end, Tang Fei decided to go to the Lesser Dragon City-State. This was because they came out of the Holy Court in the name of finding the Che Family's murderer. And since the Che Family was a family of the Lesser Dragon City-State, even if the other city-states didn't welcome them, the Lesser Dragon City-State wouldn't drive them out. Because of this, Tang Fei and the others decided to go to the Lesser Dragon City-State.
Indeed, Tang Fei's choice this time was correct. The people of the Lesser Dragon City had no way to drive them away. However, the people of the Lesser Dragon City weren't necessarily enthusiastic about them. Compared to the people of the Lost Soul City, their attitude was much better.
Tang Fei and the others looked depressed as they found a place to stay in the city. Then they sent people to see the Great Clans of the Lesser Dragon City-State. They wanted to gain the support of the Great Clans. At the same time, they also wanted to say some bad things about the Lost Soul City-State. They wanted to make the Lesser Dragon City-State think that the Che Family's matter was caused by the Lost Soul City-State. Tang Fei and the others had already prepared an excuse. Since the Lost Soul City-State didn't allow them to investigate, then there must be a problem.
Unfortunately, Tang Fei and the others' visit to the Great Clans wasn't very successful. Besides some Clans who had a good relationship with the Holy Court, the other Clans avoided them. Some Clans even said unpleasant things about them.
Tang Fei and the others had never been treated like this before. This made them angry, but they had no other choice. If it was before, then they would have already turned around and left. Then they would have the Holy Court deal with the Clans that dared to give them a hard time. But unfortunately, they couldn't do this now. This was because the relationship between the Holy Court and the other city-states was too subtle. The other city-states were already standing on the opposite side of the Holy Court. If Tang Fei and the others dared to make trouble in the Lesser Dragon City-State, then they would be in trouble.
Because of this, Tang Fei and the others could only sulk in the Lesser Dragon City-State. At the same time, they sent people back to the Holy Court to ask for instructions on what to do next.
While Tang Fei and the others were depressed, two people thought that an opportunity had come. One of them was Lu Jinyan. Lu Jinyan wanted to kill Tang Fei and the others. At the same time, he also received news that the Lost Soul City didn't even let Tang Fei and the others enter before they were driven away. Naturally, he felt very happy. However, he didn't give up on killing Tang Fei and the others. On the contrary, he thought that Tang Fei and the others going to the Lesser Dragon City-State was an opportunity for him.
The Lesser Dragon City-State was too big, and its influence was too complicated. Although the Lesser Dragon City-State was still there, everyone in the Spirit Weapon Realm knew that the City Lord's family had already lost control of the Lesser Dragon City-State. Now, the ones in charge of the Lesser Dragon City-State were the Great Clans.
However, these Great Clans weren't necessarily monolithic. For the sake of benefits, they were divided into several factions. It can be said that they were as incompatible as fire and water. To be honest, when the Che Family was attacked, the first thing that the people of the Lesser Dragon City-State suspected was that it was done by other clans. But then they knew that it was impossible. This was because no clan had the strength to destroy the Che Family. Otherwise, they would have already done it. Finally, they locked their sights on the Holy Court.
Because of this, the Lesser Dragon City-State could be said to be very chaotic. Moreover, the clans in the Lesser Dragon City-State were already suspicious of Tang Fei and the others. If they killed Tang Fei and the others in the Lesser Dragon City-State, then the Holy Court wouldn't be the first to suspect them. Because of this, Lu Jinyan thought that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to kill Tang Fei and the others.
Another person who thought that this was an opportunity was none other than the current ruler of the Lost Soul City, Feng Lihua!
Before Zhao Hai returned to the Secret Realm, he gave Feng Lihua an order to act freely when the time comes. And now, Feng Lihua thought that the time had come. Her reason was similar to Lu Jinyan's. They both thought that killing Tang Fei and the others in the Lesser Dragon City-State would further intensify the conflict between the Lesser Dragon City-State and the Holy Court. It might even intensify the conflict between the Lesser Dragon City-State and the Holy Court. For the Lost Soul City, this was definitely good news.
The reason why Stonehammer and the others treated Tang Fei and the others so harshly was partly because Feng Lihua wanted to show her position to the other city-states. They wanted to let the other city-states know that they weren't afraid of the Holy Court. They didn't need to give the Holy Court any face.
Feng Lihua's move was right. This time, the other city-states were very disgusted with the investigation team sent by the Holy Court. But what Lu Jinyan and Feng Lihua did made the other city-states feel relieved. At the same time, the last bit of fear they had towards the Holy Court disappeared.
After driving Tang Fei and the others away, Feng Lihua wanted to deal with them. This was because Feng Lihua had already received the news when Tang Fei and the others killed people on the street. Feng Lihua also made some preparations. Later on, when the spies used the transmission formation to send news that Tang Fei and the others were about to be driven away, Feng Lihua immediately had Stonehammer and the others block all the transmission formations. Because she didn't know which transmission formation Tang Fei and the others would go to, Feng Lihua closed most of the transmission formations in the Lost Soul City. Only the transmission formations in the major cities were still open. And these transmission formations were guarded by people. Since Tang Fei and the others wanted to come to the Lost Soul City, they naturally had to go to the capital city first. Therefore, they appeared in Spirit Snake City and met Stonehammer.
Feng Lihua drove Tang Fei's group away and didn't have any conflict with them. Firstly, she wanted to know their whereabouts. Secondly, she wanted to reduce the suspicion on herself. This was because she already wanted to eliminate Tang Fei's group. However, she couldn't let herself become the prime suspect. They didn't let Tang Fei enter the city. Even if Tang Fei's group was killed, the Sacred Institute would investigate and say that they didn't let Tang Fei enter the city. In other words, they had the upper hand in this matter. Since they had the upper hand, they wouldn't make a move against Tang Fei's group. Therefore, the one who dealt with Tang Fei's group must be someone else.
A lot of people had this idea. Because of this, Feng Lihua made Stonehammer do this. This way, their suspicion would be reduced. And with the support of the Puhe City, Feng Lihua wasn't afraid that the Holy Court would be the first to suspect them.
Now that Tang Fei and the others went to the Lesser Dragon City, this was good news for Feng Lihua. Feng Lihua also knew about the chaos in the Lesser Dragon City. So just like Lu Jinyan, she also thought that this was a good opportunity. Because of this, she was prepared to make a move against Tang Fei and the others.
But before making a move, Feng Lihua sent a letter to Zhao Hai as usual. She wanted to ask Zhao Hai what to do. Unfortunately, when she sent the letter, Zhao Hai was in the wilderness making a map of the Secret Realm. He wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the letter. Therefore, Feng Lihua didn't receive any instructions.
Without any instructions, Feng Lihua hesitated. Because without Zhao Hai's instructions, she wouldn't be able to mobilize the people in the Secret Realm to deal with Tang Fei and the others. In other words, Feng Lihua couldn't mobilize Wen Wenhai and the others. Since she couldn't mobilize Wen Wenhai and the others, she could only rely on the people in the Lost Soul City. But in Feng Lihua's opinion, these people weren't enough.
Because of this, Feng Lihua suppressed her temper. She wanted to wait for a while and see what Tang Fei and the others would do. As long as Tang Fei and the others didn't return to the Holy Court, then she would still have a chance to deal with them. Because of this, although Feng Lihua made some preparations, she didn't really make a move.
Contrary to Feng Lihua, at this time, Lu Jinyan was already preparing to take action. Puhe City-State was only a small city-state, but this small city-state also had a lot of experts. There were more than a hundred Void Realm experts. Lu Jinyan had already prepared all of Puhe City-State's forces to attack Tang Fei and the others. In Lu Jinyan's view, they were very likely to succeed because Tang Fei and the others weren't very strong. He believed that this was the best opportunity.
