Lanling City, the Governor's Mansion!
"Humph!"
Gao An, who was in a high position, was not afraid of the King of Lanling's cold threat. However, he knew that what he had done had crossed the King of Lanling's bottom line.
If he continued to pressure the King of Lanling, the King of Lanling would fall out with him. If the matter reached the King of the capital city, it would not benefit either of them.
Therefore, Gao An only snorted coldly and did not say anything else. Anya, who had been on tenterhooks, could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Let him in!"
According to the King of Lanling's character, he was not very willing to interact with the businessmen in the city, let alone meet them in a very formal reception hall.
This was because he was very clear about the thoughts of those businessmen who came into contact with him. He also knew the impact his words and actions had on those businessmen.
However, Gao An's aggressive actions just now made him angry. Therefore, he went against his will and let Xia Yufeng, the owner of the shop, into the reception hall.
"Commoner Xia Yufeng greets the City Lord!"
Xia Yufeng hurriedly went down on one knee and saluted the King of Lanling who was sitting on the throne.
"Get up!" The King of Lanling said flatly.
"City Lord, the reason why this commoner dares to meet you is because something related to Madam Shi has just happened in this commoner's shop."
Although the King of Lanling's attitude was very cold, Xia Yufeng did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He did not even get up and explained his reason for coming here.
"Tell me the details!"
The surname Shi was a very remote surname. In the entire Lanling City, the only woman with the surname Shi was his sister-in-law Shi Fangage.
Therefore, when Prince Lanling heard Xia Yufeng mention his most respected sister-in-law, he immediately asked with a solemn expression.
"Governor, it's like this …!"
Then, Xia Yufeng told the King of Lanling about the conflict in the shop with some embellishments.
"Good, very good, very good!"
The King of Lanling said "good" thrice through gritted teeth after hearing Xia Yufeng's embellishments.
Then, he stood up and asked in a gentle tone, "Shopkeeper Xia, did you find out the background of that man and woman?"
Xia Yufeng shook his head and replied guiltily.
"Replying to Milord City Lord, after the conflict occurred, that pair of man and woman fled the shop. This commoner's abilities are limited, and I was in a hurry to inform Milord City Lord, so I did not have the time to investigate the origins of that pair of man and woman."
At this point, Xia Yufeng took a risk and stood up. He took out two paintings from his storage bracelet and raised them above his head.
"City Lord, this commoner's shop has a shop assistant who is proficient in drawing portraits. He personally witnessed the entire process of Madam Shi being deceived, so he drew the appearance of the man and woman in advance."
With a suction force, the two portraits immediately appeared in King Lanling's hand. After opening them, he took a closer look at the faces of the man and woman in the portraits. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Guards!" Prince Lanling shouted at the door of the guest hall.
"Your Majesty!" The guard quickly entered the reception hall and knelt down on one knee.
"Inform Commander Li immediately. Ask him to issue an arrest warrant for the man and woman in the portraits based on these two portraits."
"Tell Commander Li that apart from Spirit Stones, elixirs, and status rewards, I, King Lanling, will agree to one request of him unconditionally."
As he instructed the guard, King Lanling tried to use his Origin Energy to pass the two portraits to the guard.
However, at this moment, Gao An, who had reached the peak of the Third Grade Martial Saint, suddenly snatched the portraits. Then, he ignored King Lanling's gloomy expression and opened the portraits to observe.
"Lord Gao, it's him!"
As she was very close to Gao An, An Ya also saw the appearance of the man and woman in the portraits.
Then, she pointed at the first image with a surprised expression and shouted loudly, "That's right!
"Lord Gao, Milord City Lord, the person who destroyed my restaurant is this young man!"
King Lanling, who was on the verge of exploding because Gao An snatched the portraits, calmed down a lot when he heard that the culprit who deceived his sister-in-law was the one who destroyed An Ya's restaurant.
Then, he instructed the guard.
"Add the crime of disturbing the peace to the arrest warrant!"
"Yes, Milord!"
After acknowledging the order, the guard took the portrait that Gao An tossed over and quickly left the guest hall.
"Xia Yufeng, if you encounter any trouble in Lanling City in the future, you can use the name of the City Lord Mansion!"
After the guard left the guest room, King Lanling gave his promise with a gentle expression.
"I, Xia Yufeng, thank you, Milord City Lord!"
He had put in so much effort to get King Lanling's favor by sacrificing the Sixth Grade Blood Coagulation Pill and storage bracelet.
King Lanling's promise was much more powerful than that.
Therefore, while Xia Yufeng was excited, he also felt proud of the plan he came up with.
An Ya, who stood next to Gao An, looked at Xia Yufeng with envy and jealousy.
It was because King Lanling's promise was what she had been longing for.
However, judging from the conflict between King Lanling and Gao An, she would probably never get this promise!
…!
Although Death Valley was not considered a forbidden place, it was still one of the most dangerous places in Tianxuan Continent.
Death Valley was a very mysterious valley that was formed by the outer valley and the inner valley.
The outer valley was not very dangerous.
As long as one's cultivation had reached the Martial Ancestor Realm and above, one would be able to avoid the powerful mutated beasts and the natural traps in the outer valley with their Divine Telekinesis.
However, it was different in the inner valley!
As the mutated beasts in the inner valley were more powerful and violent, the natural traps were more dangerous. It was impossible to avoid them in advance with Divine Telekinesis.
Moreover, the unpredictable weather in the inner valley and the Power of Law that appeared out of nowhere would cause one to lose their life unknowingly.
Yu Haoran's goal in entering Death Valley this time was precisely the inner valley that was filled with danger.
With the help of the Thaling Martial Ancestor's Divine Telekinesis and the memory of entering the valley in his previous life, Yu Haoran quickly brought He Ruyu to a small stream that was only about two meters wide.
"Ruyu, after crossing this small stream, it will be the inner valley of Death Valley," Yu Haoran introduced as he pointed at the stream in front of them.
"Haoran, why did you have to take the risk to enter the inner valley?"
