After smoothly exiting the city from the north gate, Cheng Yu headed straight for Hong City in the north alone.
However, Manager Tang and the others in Tianze City didn't know all of this. At this time, the north gate had already been closed, so they went to the east gate.
In their opinion, as long as the four major city gates were closed, even a fly would not be able to escape from Xuzhou City.
Just like that, for a few days, only one of the four city gates could be opened at a time.
In the end, Manager Tang and Chen Yan were half dead from exhaustion, but they didn't gain anything at all.
We might have been deceived Chen Yan was very tired and sighed with a lot of disappointment.
Do you think those people have already left the city? Manager Tang said.
"It's very possible. Perhaps they had already left Xuzhou City when their auras disappeared," Chen Yan said.
But before that, didn't you still sense that they were in the inn? How could they have left the city all of a sudden? Manager Tang said.
I don't know, but I have a feeling that they are no longer in the city. Otherwise, why haven't we found them for so long? Chen Yan shook his head and said.
Could it be that they disguised themselves and left the city under our noses? Manager Tang said.
It's very possible, and their methods are very clever. I can't even sense any changes in their auras. Chen Yan nodded and said.
If that's the case, then we are really in trouble. We can't be sure which gate they left the city from, and we don't even know where to chase them.
Chen Yan pondered for a moment before he suggested, "Given the current circumstances, I'm afraid we'll have to send people to Hong City at the north gate, Lu Province City at the east gate, and Wu Province City at the west gate to investigate the situation!"
"It's fine if it works, but I'm afraid that these people will continue to use this method to hide from us. Even if we search all the cities in the Longdan Outer Dynasty, we might not be able to find them again!" Steward Tang said worriedly.
It shouldn't be. Generally, no matter what method they use to change their appearance and aura, they can't always exist in this state.
So in the end, they will definitely show their true appearance again. Moreover, we have no way to go back and report to the City Lord now, right? Chen Yan said.
"Right now, we really can't go back and report to the City Lord. It seems like we can only try this. I just hope that these people don't have any ill intentions towards the Dragon Pill Outer Dynasty. In this case, even if we can't catch them in the end, we won't make a big mistake! "Steward Tang said after thinking for a while.
"But what should we do now? Should we continue to control the situation? "Chen Yan asked as he looked at the queue of people waiting to enter and exit the city.
"It's already been three days. As you said, I'm guessing that everyone has already left Xuzhou City. We've been blocking the city gate like this for a long time, which has caused a lot of trouble for Xuzhou City Lord. I think it's better to open the city gate!" Steward Tang said.
"Yes, indeed!" Chen Yan nodded.
"The most important thing for us now is to check out the other cities and see if there's any news about them!" After Steward Tang finished speaking, he informed the guards at the city gates to quickly inform the guards at the other three gates to open the city gates.
Although they did not wish to open all the city gates, this was not Tianze City. They could not keep only one gate open.
These three days had already caused many people to be dissatisfied. If they continued to close the city gates, they might not even be able to explain to the City Lord of Xuzhou City.
After the city gates were opened, Steward Tang called back all the people at the South Gate. Then, he redistributed the people to the East, West, and West Gates. He prepared to go to the nearest city in the three directions to inquire about the situation.
However, they didn't know that Cheng Yu had already stayed in Hong City for three days. For a city like this, three days was usually enough to find out all the information about it.
After understanding the situation of the entire Hong City, Cheng Yu left directly. However, at this time, they had just arrived at Hong City.
In addition, Cheng Yu did not restore his original appearance and aura. Although it was very coincidental that Chen Yan and Steward Tang also came to Hong City, it was impossible for them to discover Cheng Yu's previous aura.
More importantly, they immediately asked the guards at the city gates if there were seven Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators here.
But the result was as one could imagine. There would never be seven people like this again.
Although they had already somewhat understood Cheng Yu's habits, the moment they entered the city, they went to all the restaurants and teahouses to inquire about them. However, the result was still the same.
Furthermore, Cheng Yu knew that they would catch up. Therefore, he intentionally avoided staying in any restaurant or teahouse for a long time.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to notice an ordinary guest like Cheng Yu.
Furthermore, there was another important point. Although they did not know of Cheng Yu's existence, Cheng Yu knew of their existence.
When he knew that Steward Tang and the others had arrived at Hong City, Cheng Yu's lips curved up as he left safely.
For the next month, Cheng Yu had been carrying out his plan. Even after he had shaken off Steward Tang and the others, he was not in a hurry to let Elder Fang and the others out.
After all, the more people there were, the bigger the target would be. Now that he was moving alone, he felt that it would be a lot smoother. He did not wish to find any more trouble for himself.
However, it was also because of the smoothness of being alone. In addition, he had also found out from Elder Fang and the others that the inner court was in the southeastern suburbs of Tianfu City.
Currently, Qingzhou City was not far from Tianfu City. Cheng Yu couldn't help but have an exciting thought.
"Since I'm already here, if I don't take a look around, wouldn't it be too much of a pity?" Cheng Yu's heart moved. He changed his original plan of heading to Fenzhou City and changed his route to Tianfu City.
Three days later, Cheng Yu arrived at Tianfu City alone.
"This Tianfu City is really different from the masses. Seems like the inner court had spent a lot of effort here!" Looking at the huge Tianfu City, Cheng Yu exclaimed in admiration.
After being in the Cultivation World for so many years, he had seen quite a number of big cities that were several times bigger than a first-grade city.
However, those huge cities weren't even worth mentioning when compared to this Sky Province City. Towering city walls, solemn city gate, spacious main city road. It looked very imposing.
Walking into the city, there were peddlers and shops everywhere. Pedestrians were coming and going. It was very lively.
"Compared to Tianfu City, seems like my Cheng Family is still too small," Cheng Yu walked on the main street. The pedestrians brushed past him as he couldn't help but sigh.
Actually, because the Cheng Family had issued a lot of missions, it caused all the cities within the Cheng Family's sphere of influence to be very lively.
However, the scale of these cities weren't very big. At least, compared to Tianfu City, it was still too stingy.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think that when he returned to the Cheng Family, should he expand the scale of the city?
Many times, the scale of a city was also a symbol of strength.
Although he knew that the inner court was in the southeast suburb of Tianfu City, Cheng Yu wasn't in a hurry to head there. Since he had just arrived, how could he be so hasty? He must first understand the situation of Tianfu City and its surroundings.
In the next three days, Cheng Yu wandered around Tianfu City alone. He also used some opportunities to purchase goods from peddlers and shop owners to understand the situation.
In the end, what Cheng Yu didn't expect was that the southeast suburb of Tianfu City wasn't a place that anyone could enter.
To enter the southeast suburb of Tianfu City, one must enter from the east gate. However, ordinary people couldn't enter the east gate. Only special people could enter.
As for what special people were, these peddlers and shop owners weren't very clear about it. However, they had seen some people from the city lord's mansion entering and exiting the east gate.
After inquiring about this information, Cheng Yu naturally understood why they were people with special identities. It was obvious that they possessed the identity token of the inner court.
"Seems like if I want to enter the inner court, I can only let them lead the way!" Cheng Yu thought.
Returning to the inn, Cheng Yu immediately released Elder Yang and the rest.
"Aiyo, finally out again. It's still the outside world that I like the most!" After coming out, Elder Feng was pleasantly surprised.
"Young Master, where are we now?" Elder Fang looked at the surroundings. It was obvious that they were in an inn.
"We are currently in Tianfu City's Ruyi Inn!" Cheng Yu replied truthfully.
"What? This … this is Tian … Tianfu City? Young Master, you … "Hearing Cheng Yu's words, everyone was originally very happy, but their expressions were all stunned.
Especially Elder Feng. Originally, he was preparing to pour a cup of tea. In the end, he was so shocked that he spilled the tea. It could be seen that Cheng Yu's words had brought them a big surprise.
"Young Master, didn't we agree not to come to Tianfu City? Why are you … "Elder Yang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He knew that his young master wasn't a simple person. He also knew that he wasn't someone who was willing to be ordinary.
At the very least, his young master already had a very important burden on his shoulders. He was like fire and water with the Imperial Dynasty.
In other words, his young master and the Imperial Dynasty were destined not to be friends. Now that his young master had come to the most important city outside of the inner court's encampment, he didn't believe that his young master would just come over to take a look.
"Originally, I didn't intend to come here. But after thinking about it, this might be the only time I come to the Dragon Pill Outer Dynasty. It's also the only time I'm so close to the inner court encampment.
Since I'm already here, if I don't come over to take a look, it would be a kind of regret! "Cheng Yu smiled.
Looking at Cheng Yu's understated words, none of the six of them laughed out.
They were now the traitors of the Imperial Dynasty. Now that they were so close to the inner court, they were extremely afraid.
