After a while, everyone sat in the main hall, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
In order to prove that he was indeed a Level Seven Heavenly Master, Lu An could only release some of his strength. However, to these people, the strength of a Level Six Heavenly Master and a Level Seven Heavenly Master were about the same, and they couldn't tell the difference. Even so, they gradually believed that Lu An was a Level Seven Heavenly Master.
They originally thought that Lu An had obtained some kind of inheritance to be able to grow to this level in just a few years. However, when they found out that Lu An didn't receive any inheritance, everyone fell silent.
Comparisons were odious.
In front of Lu An, they, who were famous in Black Wolf City, were like useless trash.
After everyone gradually accepted this fact, they naturally returned to the matter of the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion. Liu Lan had already told them that Lu An was very strong now, and he wouldn't lose if they fought in the Level Seven Heavenly Master Realm. After saying this, everyone slowly relaxed. Liu Zhengtang finally nodded and agreed to let the two of them go together.
"There's no time to lose. Why don't we go now?" Lu An said to the crowd, "Otherwise, a long delay may lead to trouble. Who knows what might happen?"
"Alright." Liu Zhengtang took a deep breath and nodded.
There was a teleportation array between Black Wolf City and the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion, and this teleportation array was right outside the City Lord's Mansion. The people of the Blood Symbol Alliance sent Liu Lan and Lu An to the teleportation array, and Lu An opened it. After bidding farewell to everyone, he immediately left.

Wanliang City.
The Prefecture Overseer's Mansion was located in Wanliang City. The teleportation array opened, and Lu An and Liu Lan walked out of it, out of the alley, and onto the long street. They had been to the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion before, so they naturally had some impression of it. Moreover, after their perception covered the entire Wanliang City, the largest palace was naturally the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
The Prefecture Overseer's Mansion was incomparably huge, and it was comparable to the palace of a small country. Lu An and Liu Lan quickly arrived at the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion. Lu An walked to the front of the hall and said to the guard, "Prefecture Overseer, the Blood Symbol Alliance of Black Wolf City has come to visit."
The guard sized up the young man and woman in front of him. The woman was very beautiful, but the man was much weaker. However, he was indeed much stronger than the guard.
"Wait here." The guard said, and then quickly went to report the news.
The two of them stood in front of the huge palace door and waited. Not long after, the guard returned and said to the two of them, "The two of you, come with me!"
Lu An nodded, and the two of them followed the guards into the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion. After walking past one hall after another, they finally arrived at the main hall where the Prefecture Overseer worked.
"You two can go up." The guard stopped and said to the two.
The two of them walked towards the main hall. They had to walk up a tall flight of stairs. Finally, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the main hall. There were guards on both sides of the entrance. Inside, there were also guards and maidservants. The Prefecture Overseer, Zhang Tianwu, was sitting on a high seat, reading a book. He seemed to be waiting for them.
The two of them crossed the threshold and entered the main hall. Zhang Tianwu, who was sitting on the high seat, was stunned. He raised his head and looked at the two people who were slowly walking to the center.
The two of them stopped in the middle of the main hall. Seeing this, the guards on both sides frowned and scolded them loudly, "Why aren't you saluting when you see the Prefecture Overseer?!"
"How dare you!"
An angry shout was heard. What made the guards dumbfounded was that this sentence was not said by Lu An or Liu Lan, but by Zhang Tianwu!
Zhang Tianwu stood up immediately and quickly jumped down from the high seat. He stood in front of Lu An and Liu Lan and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Two experts, please forgive me for not going out to meet you!"
The moment this happened, the guards on both sides were completely stunned! However, since the Prefecture Overseer had done this, these guards naturally had to follow. They quickly saluted Lu An.
It could not be helped. Zhang Tianwu could sense the aura emitted by Lu An and Liu Lan. Two level seven Heavenly Masters had arrived at the same time. They had the same strength as the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Ground Master. How could he not be respectful?!
"Prefecture Overseer, you're too polite." Lu An cupped his hands and said to the Prefecture Overseer, "The two of us came this time for the matter of the Blood Symbol Alliance in Black Wolf City. The Blood Symbol Alliance has no intention of rebelling. Prefecture Overseer, please investigate clearly and do not let the Blood Symbol Alliance be wronged. "
At this moment, Zhang Tianwu's mind was in a complete mess. He did not expect that two level seven Heavenly Masters would appear in the Blood Symbol Alliance. He hurriedly chased all the guards and palace maids out of the hall and invited Lu An and Liu Lan to take a seat.
"To be honest, this matter is not something I can decide." Zhang Tianwu looked at the two of them and said helplessly, "Black Wolf City pays the most taxes every year, and the Blood Symbol Alliance is a major alliance that pays taxes. How can I do anything to the Blood Symbol Alliance? Even if someone reports it, I will send people to investigate secretly. I will not act so openly."
Liu Lan was startled and asked, "Then why?"
"Because someone above is adding fuel to the fire." Zhang Tianwu looked at Liu Lan and said with a bitter smile, "Does Young Lady Liu still remember Prince Chu?"
Prince Chu?!
Lu An and Liu Lan were both startled. Instantly, memories appeared in their minds.
Of course, they remembered Prince Chu. Back then, Prince Chu participated in Liu Lan's martial arts competition to find a husband. However, he was defeated by Lu An. Later, when they sparred at the Prefecture Overseer's residence, he fought with Prince Chu's guard and even crippled one of the guard's arms. He remembered that they had made a bet that Prince Chu would not cause any trouble for the Blood Symbol Alliance. If Zhang Tianwu had not mentioned it, they would have really forgotten about this person.
They had no choice. They had seen too many people who were stronger than them. Their horizons were already different. They did not need to care about a prince like this.
"Now, Prince Chu is no longer a prince. He is the Crown Prince." Zhang Tianwu sighed and said, "I don't know what method he used. In just a few years, he actually crippled all the other princes. This year, he successfully became the Crown Prince. After becoming the Crown Prince, he has been causing trouble for me. This time, the Crown Prince was involved in the Blood Symbol Alliance's matter. "
The Crown Prince?
Lu An frowned slightly and said, "If that is the case, I would like to trouble the Prefecture Overseer to open the Teleportation Array to the Heavenly Wolf Sacred Ground for the two of us."
Zhang Tianwu was startled. He quickly asked, "The two of you are going to see the Sect Master?"
"That's right." Lu An nodded. Since Zhang Tianwu could not do anything about this matter, he would go directly to see the person with the highest authority.
"The Sect Master is not in the Sacred Ground now," Zhang Tianwu said. "He is touring the Royal Capital. He should be in the Royal Palace."
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He said, "That's great. I can see the King and the Sect Master at the same time. Prefecture Overseer, please open the Teleportation Array to the Royal Capital for me."
Zhang Tianwu did not dare to disobey. He quickly opened the Teleportation Array for the two of them. When the two of them were about to leave, he quickly said, "When the two of you see the Sect Master and the King … please be polite. Otherwise, I can't bear the consequences if they blame me."
Lu An nodded and said, "Don't worry, Prefecture Overseer. I will not say that I am going from your place."
Zhang Tianwu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
Lu An and Liu Lan did not stay any longer. They entered the Teleportation Array and left.

Heavenly Wolf City, the capital of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom.
The Teleportation Array was opened. They were now at Zhang Tianwu's residence in the Royal Capital. Lu An and Liu Lan flew into the sky and flew toward the Royal Palace.
Soon, the two of them arrived in the sky above the Royal Palace. They looked down at the huge Royal Palace and used their perception to envelop it. However, the two of them did not find any Level Seven Heavenly Masters. They also did not find any trace of the King. They could not help but feel surprised.
Could he have gone out?
At this moment, Lu An's eyes turned cold. Although he did not find the King or the Sacred Ground's Sect Master, he found the figure of another person.
Lu An turned to look at Liu Lan. It was obvious that Liu Lan had also sensed the existence of this person. Lu An said, "Let's go and see him first."
Liu Lan nodded lightly. Immediately, the two of them disappeared in the sky.
Crown Prince's Palace.
In the palace, which was supposed to be a place for business, the sound of women's voices could be heard. The coquettish voices of many women could be heard, causing people to frown.
"Crown Prince, I'm here. Come quickly!"
"Crown Prince, if you can't catch me, you will have to sleep with me today …"
"Crown Prince …"
"Crown Prince …"
The Crown Prince, who was surrounded by women, was using a piece of silk to cover his eyes. He was running around wildly, his hands pouncing here and there. When he caught a woman, he would touch her up and down. He was abnormally free.
"You girls, wait until I catch all of you. Let's see if you will still be convinced!" The Crown Prince said with a lewd smile as he pounced around.
However, just as the Crown Prince took another step forward, the entire palace fell silent. All the voices stopped abruptly. There were no women's voices, nor were there any footsteps.
The Crown Prince was stunned. Then, he said with a lewd smile, "Are you playing with me …"
"…"
There was still no sound. The Crown Prince's body shook violently. He panicked and hurriedly raised his hand to take off the blindfold. However, he was shocked to find that all the maids were frozen in place. They were in all kinds of positions and could not move at all!
In the palace, there were two faces that he recognized. His body shook violently again!
"Lu An?!"
