The entire courtyard immediately quieted down. Everyone looked forward and saw a middle-aged man walking out with a group of people following behind him.
Late-stage Level 5.
In the corner, Lu An immediately confirmed the man's strength. This kind of strength was in line with his status. Just like Blackwolf City, those who could control the city were all Level 5 Celestial Masters.
Looking at the attitude of so many Celestial Masters in the courtyard, it was obvious that Chu Heng was very famous in Yangguan City. Most of the people in the courtyard were Level 3 and Level 4 Celestial Masters. There was only one Level 5 Celestial Master, who was only at the early stage of Level 5. This kind of strength might not be taken seriously by Chu Heng.
Chu Heng stood on the steps and looked around at the crowd. He took a deep breath and said, "I am Chu Heng. It is an honor for my Chu Residence to have everyone here. Now that there are many disasters at sea, pirates are becoming more and more rampant. The City Lord's Residence and the Chu Residence are working together. The Chu Residence will gather heroes to fight against the pirates. However, the people who went to kill the pirates the previous two times have already … "
At this point, Chu Heng paused and sighed. Everyone's heart sank when they saw this. That's right, they had already sent out two groups of people before today. However, not a single person had returned.
There was no news at all, nor was there any news about the pirates. It was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no echo at all.
"This matter is getting bigger and bigger. I wonder when the Prefecture Overseer will make a move." Someone whispered.
Chu Heng heard this and said, "The City Lord has already informed the Prefecture Overseer of this matter. However, the Prefecture Overseer is busy and has many things to deal with. He has no time to come here. We can only solve this ourselves."
Everyone could not help but sigh and shake their heads. Chu Heng looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, don't be discouraged. This time, our strength will be stronger than before. Not only you, but my Chu Family will also send out three Level 5 Celestial Masters to advance and retreat with you. This time, we must eliminate the pirates! "
Hearing that the Chu Family would send out three Level 5 Celestial Masters and one more person here, they would have four of them. Such a lineup could be said to be very generous! Immediately, everyone cheered and said loudly, "We are willing to serve!"
"Everyone, don't worry. When everyone returns victorious, my Chu Mansion will definitely not treat you unfairly. We will definitely reward you handsomely!" Chu Heng said again.
Everyone thanked Chu Heng once again. She stood in the corner and watched this scene with narrowed eyes. She turned to Lu An and whispered, "Husband, what do you think?"
"Something is fishy." Lu An also said in a low voice, "We didn't get any information back from the previous two times, so we shouldn't take the initiative to attack again. Instead, we should stay put and wait for the other party to reveal a flaw. This kind of action is no different from suicide."
Yao lightly nodded her head. She felt the same way as well. Before they could figure out the enemy's whereabouts, they had already sent themselves to their deaths twice. Wouldn't it be strange if they had to do it a third time?
"Then what about us?" He looked at Lu An from afar and asked.
"Let's go too." Lu An thought for a while and said, "Let's see what's going on."
"Alright." Yao nodded.

After Chu Heng gathered everyone, he gathered everyone in a meeting room and began to discuss how to eliminate the pirates. Lu An And Yao was naturally among them. However, the two of them did not sit in the middle. Instead, they sat in the corner of the room.
This was because Lu An And Yao was different from most of the brawny men and people with the aura of the underworld. Although some people wanted to talk to them, they did not take the initiative to approach them since they did not seem to be from the same world.
Everyone's discussion was indeed very comprehensive, including the different sailing routes from the previous two times and the grouping and cooperation of Heavenly Masters with different attributes. To be able to allocate people so efficiently in such a short period of time, these people were indeed quite capable.
After the allocation was almost done, everyone remembered that there were still two people in the corner who had not been allocated. After thinking for a while, a Level 5 Heavenly Master turned to look at the two of them and asked loudly, "What attributes do the two of you have?"
Lu An looked at him and said with a smile, "We're both water-attribute Heavenly Masters, but we've never cooperated with others before. There's no need to assign us to another group. The two of us will act together."
Hearing the two of them, everyone in the room was stunned. The four Level 5 Heavenly Masters frowned one after another. Right at this moment, someone with a bad temper finally could not hold it in any longer. He slammed the table and walked towards Lu An.
"The two of you aren't even discussing with others, nor are you forming a group with others. Do you think this is child's play?" This Level 4 Heavenly Master walked in front of Lu An and angrily roared at Lu An. His tone was extremely irritable.
However, this person only stared at Lu An and was irritable. He did not even look at Yao at the side. It could not be helped. This was a world where looks were everything. No one would have the heart to reprimand a fairy like Yao. In addition to his strong jealousy, he had long found this pretty boy an eyesore.
Lu An looked at the person standing in front of him and slightly frowned. After pondering for a moment, he used his divine sense to send a message to Yao. "Forget it. Let's leave this place. After they set sail, we'll follow them in the air."
Hearing this, Yao nodded slightly. She was not an extrovert, and only liked to interact with Lu An alone.
Seeing that Yao agreed, Lu An stood up and glanced at the Level 4 Heavenly Master in front of him. He then turned to look at everyone in the room and said. "Since everyone is dissatisfied with me, I will also disturb everyone here. Goodbye."
After saying this, Lu An held Yao's hand and was about to leave.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned. They did not expect that this young man would actually say such words and leave just like that. Especially when this Level 4 Heavenly Master saw that the fairy in his heart was actually being held in the hands of this man. He was instantly furious and immediately roared. "Impudent! Is this a place where you can come and go as you please? "
"That's right!" Suddenly, another Level 4 Heavenly Master stood out from the crowd and shouted at Lu An. "You heard all of our plans earlier. If you're a pirate spy, wouldn't we all be caught in one fell swoop?!"
The moment these words were spoken, everyone's body trembled. Their gazes towards Lu An became filled with hostility. They even felt that the previous two failures must have been caused by a spy.
Lu An frowned and said. "If I had come here twice, do you think that the Chu family wouldn't have recognized me?"
"Maybe the pirates changed people to be a spy?" The Level 4 Heavenly Master in front of Lu An said loudly. "Can't you just change people every time you take action?"
Lu An frowned even more. This was not because he was wrongly accused. If he wanted to leave, these people could not stop him at all. What he was worried about was what if these people did not take action after he left?
At this moment, Yao said to Lu An in a condensed voice. "Husband, if there really is a problem here, even if we leave, they should still force their way out to sea."
Lu An's heart trembled.
Yao was right. This was a good opportunity to prove whether these people were strange or not.
Lu An looked at the two Level 4 Heavenly Masters and calmly said. "I can only say that I'm not. Goodbye."
After saying this, Lu An held Yao's hand and left.
"Impudent!" The Level 4 Heavenly Master in front of Lu An immediately roared. Seeing that Lu An was about to walk out of the door, he instantly rushed over and punched towards Lu An's head!
Although the other party did not use any Heavenly Techniques in this punch, he used all of his physical strength. Furthermore, the other party was a metal-type Heavenly Master, so his strength was extremely strong. If Lu An's strength was lower than his, or if his strength was on par with him, he would not be able to react in time. It was very likely that he would be seriously injured by this punch, unconscious, or even killed!
Lu An frowned. How was this kind of person who attacked from behind without distinguishing between right and wrong, different from pirates?
Lu An turned around and punched towards the other party's fist. The two fists collided, and with a 'boom', the entire house shook. If not for Lu An's spatial confinement, the impact of the power would have directly destroyed the entire house.
The Level 4 Heavenly Master flew backwards and crashed into a wall. His entire arm was in intense pain, as if his bones were about to shatter. At this moment, another Level 4 Heavenly Master also rushed in front of him. After seeing the previous person fall, he no longer held back. In an instant, his entire body was covered with the power of thunder and lightning as he punched towards Lu An!
However, Lu An easily dodged his opponent's attack. He raised his hand and directly passed through the lightning around his opponent's body, directly grabbing his opponent's neck with one hand. Under his strength, the lightning around his opponent's body instantly disappeared with a crackling sound. Lu An did not hold on for long. With a flick of his hand, he threw the person out.
Bang!
The person crashed into a chair and fell to the ground in a very sorry state. The sudden attack and the consecutive defeat of two people happened in less than a breath's time. It was so fast that it was dazzling, causing the entire house to quiet down.
The house was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at Lu An, including the four Level 5 Heavenly Masters. Not to mention the others, even the four of them did not expect Lu An's strength to be so high.
The four Level 5 Heavenly Masters looked at each other, stood up from the table, and walked out from the crowd to look at Lu An. Lu An looked at the four of them, his eyes slightly focused. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying fog filled with cold air appeared, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard.
Frost Fog. This was the first Level 1 Heavenly Skill that Lu An learned.
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly used their power to blow the fog away. However, when the fog dissipated, the two figures in the courtyard had already disappeared.
