Lan Yunjiang was extremely cunning. He suddenly attacked Nie Tian.
Qiu Shan was too strong, far beyond what he could afford to provoke. However, Nie Tian was only at the first tier of the All Creations realm. Once he controlled Nie Tian, Qiu Shan naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Lan Yunjiang was at the ninth tier of the All Creations realm. He was very confident that he could control Nie Tian in an instant.
However, he was completely wrong. Although Nie Tian was only at the first tier of the All Creations realm, his true battle prowess far surpassed it.
Unless he was a Giant Spirit realm martial artist, there were very few martial artists who could fight against Nie Tian head-on.
"Boom!" Lan Yunjiang's fingers formed a claw, and a claw shadow attacked Nie Tian's neck in the air.
Nie Tian didn't panic and directly punched out.
In the next moment, Lan Yunjiang felt a huge force. Then, his body sank, and he flew backward, smashing heavily onto the ground.
"Hiss …" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at Nie Tian with wide eyes, unable to believe the scene in front of them.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a first tier of the All Creations realm martial artist could casually send a ninth tier martial artist flying with a punch?
Lan Yunjiang jumped to his feet and looked at Nie Tian in disbelief.
He had never imagined that he would be sent flying by a first tier of the All Creations realm martial artist with a punch.
What the hell!
"Nie Tian, I'm the Imperial Uncle. How dare you hit me? Do you still have any respect for His Majesty? "Lan Yunjiang shouted after calming down.
Nie Tian smiled Cold and said, "Go back and ask Lan Bingchen. Even if I have respect for him, would he dare to stand in front of me?"
"You …" Lan Yunjiang's face froze. He couldn't help but shiver, unable to speak.
"Get lost!" Nie Tian didn't want to waste words with him and shouted in a deep voice.
Lan Yunjiang looked at Nie Tian with hatred, seemingly hesitating.
"My master told you to get lost. Didn't you hear him?" Qiu Shan's deep voice rang out. At the same time, a huge, edgeless broadsword that was dozens of meters long appeared behind him.
"Giant Spirit Realm!" Lan Yunjiang's face paled. He immediately recognized that the blade on Qiushan's back was the Giant Spirit True Body.
The other warriors all felt a chill run down their spines. They rejoiced in their hearts that they hadn't attacked Qiu Shan.
Previously, these guards had looked down on Qiushan and the others, calling them country bumpkins. But who would have thought that these country bumpkins were actually Giant Spirit Realm martial practitioners!
Lan Yunjiang's expression was complicated and resentful. Looking at Qiushan's Giant Spirit Avatar, he no longer had the slightest intention to resist.
He knew that he wasn't Qiushan's match, so he could only grit his teeth and sigh before leaving with Lan Bing.
"Nie Tian, when I return to Blue Cloud City, I must personally ask His Majesty who you are," Lan Yunjiang said to himself as he left.
How could Nie Tian not know what this old fox was thinking? However, the answer he got from Lan Bingchen would only make him more shocked.
Lan Yunjiang father and son limped away, cutting a sorry figure.
Nie Tian looked at the convoy in front of him and could not help being surprised in his heart. "There are four to five large chests in each carriage. Even if the chests are all filled with gold coins, this money must be at least in the hundreds of millions."
Inside these chests were clearly not just gold coins. There were definitely also essence crystals, medicinal herbs, spirit weapons, and other precious treasures and the like.
One had to admit that Nie Tian really struck it rich this time!
With this huge sum of money, Nie Tian could do many things.
"You're all Heaven Luo City's guards, right?" Nie Tian swept his gaze over all the guards and asked in a loud voice.
This convoy was filled with valuables and no family members. Presumably, Lan Yunjiang already let his family members leave in advance.
"Replying to City Lord, this lowly one is Heaven Luo City's guard deputy commander, Gao Han! We're all Heaven Luo City's guards, "one of the martial artists stepped forward and said with a bow.
"Gao Han." Nie Tian nodded slightly. His divine sense swept over Gao Han's body and discovered that he had Ninth Level Wanxiang strength. Not bad, so he asked, "Where's your commander?"
"City Lord, the commander, he …" Gao Han hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Lan Binghua, who was crippled just now, is our commander."
Nie Tian was slightly stunned. Lan Binghua, who was crippled by Qiushan just now, only had Fifth Level Wanxiang strength, while Gao Han had Ninth Level Wanxiang strength. But Lan Binghua was actually the guard commander, while Gao Han was only the deputy commander. It made one involuntarily feel strange. These two people's positions should have been swapped.
But Nie Tian suddenly thought of Lan Binghua's identity and immediately understood.
He was the City Lord's son. Even if his strength was lacking, being a guard commander was nothing.
"Very good." Nie Tian nodded with a smile and said, "I'm Heaven Luo City's new City Lord, Nie Tian. From now on, you're all loyal to me."
"Your subordinate greets the City Lord!" Gao Han knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice.
"Your subordinate greets the City Lord!" Gao Han bowed to Nie Tian. The other guards didn't dare to be negligent and knelt in unison, looking rather imposing.
These guards' strength was between Fifth Level Wanxiang and Ninth Level Wanxiang. With Qiushan around, how could they dare to disobey Nie Tian?
Moreover, Nie Tian had the City Lord's seal in his hands, so he was the City Lord to begin with.
Nie Tian let these people stand up, then said to Qiushan, "Qiushan, I'll leave these people to you. From now on, you're the guard commander of Heaven Luo City."
"Yes," Qiushan replied respectfully.
"Your subordinate greets the Commander." Gao Han hurriedly bowed to Qiushan.
Qiushan nodded and said in a low voice, "Everyone, listen up. Return to Heaven Luo City immediately."
"Yes!" The martial artists answered and began to get busy. The huge convoy slowly moved.
Heaven Luo City was already right in front of them. They just had to pass through Heaven Luo Mountain to reach it.
However, it was already nighttime, and the sky was getting darker. The mountain range was covered with trees and spirit beasts, so there might be danger.
Gao Han rode his horse forward and walked to Nie Tian's side. He said, "City Lord, it's getting late, and Heaven Luo Mountain is unusually dangerous. Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to cross the mountain?"
After witnessing Nie Tian's methods, Gao Han had already acknowledged Nie Tian's identity as the City Lord.
Nie Tian looked at the deep and dark Heaven Luo Mountain and said disapprovingly, "Heaven Luo Mountain isn't big, and the spirit beasts inside are at most rank three. There shouldn't be any danger."
The Heaven Luo Mountain in front of them had a circumference of less than 50 kilometers, so there definitely weren't any high-rank spirit beasts inside. Even if there was danger, it wasn't within Nie Tian's consideration.
Gao Han suddenly looked awkward. He hesitated for a moment, but he still said, "City Lord, you've just arrived at Heaven Luo City, so you might not know this. There's a group of fierce bandits living on Heaven Luo Mountain, and they specialize in robbing passersby's belongings. If we cross the mountain with great fanfare, we'll definitely alarm them. I'm afraid there'll be some trouble then."
"Fierce bandits?" The corner of Nie Tian's mouth curled up. He asked in a deep voice, "Since you know there are fierce bandits on Heaven Luo Mountain, why don't you eliminate them?"
"City Lord, this group of fierce bandits is very powerful, and they …" Gao Han's face became even more unsightly, and he started to stutter.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Nie Tian didn't want to waste any more time, so he said with a straight face.
Gao Han didn't dare to hide anything anymore. He said, "The fierce bandit leader and the previous City Lord are sworn brothers, and every time they rob, a portion of the belongings will be given to the City Lord's Mansion, so …"
