Late at night, the convoy stopped on the grassland. Wood and Earth attribute Heavenly Masters quickly built houses on the grassland, allowing everyone to rest under the eaves.
Liu Lan and Lu An were in the same house. Just as Lu An expected, Black Wolf City's Liu Zhengtang sent a message to let Liu Lan participate.
In the letter, Liu Zhengtang clearly stated that his daughter's current strength was even stronger than his, so there was no problem for her to participate. After careful consideration, the City Lord and the other two Alliance Masters could only let Liu Lan participate. After all, there were no other Level 5 Heavenly Masters.
After confirming that she was going to participate, Liu Lan was very excited. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu An's current strength wasn't enough to spar with her, she really wanted to spar with Lu An.
After chatting with Liu Lan for a while, Lu An returned to his house. As usual, he didn't sleep, but sat cross-legged on his bed to cultivate. Currently, he could already touch the bottleneck of Level 4 Heavenly Master. However, it wasn't that obvious, and he didn't have much of a chance. However, he believed that he could definitely break through to Level 4 Heavenly Master within a month.
When he became a Level 4 Heavenly Master, he could return to Purple Lake City.

Half a month later, outside Wanliang City.
Wanliang City was indeed very far from Black Wolf City. One was located in the southwest of the Southwest Region, while the other was located in the north of the Southwest Region. The two cities were more than three thousand miles apart. There weren't many stops along the way, but it still took a long time.
Fortunately, the celebration was scheduled for two days later, so they arrived at Wanliang City in advance. Looking at Wanliang City from afar, the city walls were decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It was a red rainbow. On the official roads in all directions, there were convoys heading into the city. The city gates were also heavily guarded, checking everyone one by one.
As the representative of Black Wolf City, whether it was the City Lord or the important figures of the Three Major Alliances, they had all changed into the most formal attire. After entering the city, everyone had to immediately head to the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion to present their congratulatory gifts. At that time, they had to see the Prefecture Overseer himself. If they didn't dress up properly, they would be charged with disrespect.
He saw that Lu An was wearing blue clothes made of the best material. At the same time, Lu An's hair was meticulously combed, making him look somewhat handsome.
Lu An also felt the same way. In the past, he didn't think that he was very good-looking, but with this set of clothes, he still looked somewhat good. Sure enough, clothes were a very important factor.
In the carriage, Liu Lan looked at Lu An with eyes full of light. The current Lu An looked like a graceful and noble young master. His temperament was tranquil and calm, making others feel that he was different from the rest.
Finally, the Black Wolf City's fleet entered the city and headed straight for the Prefecture Overseer's Estate. When they arrived at the long street where the Prefecture Overseer's Manor was located, they saw that the street was filled with carriages that were slowly moving forward in a line. The street was wide and long, and this was probably the first time such a jam had occurred.
After waiting for a long time, the convoy from Black Wolf City finally stopped in front of the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion. Everyone from Black Wolf City dismounted from their horses and took out the congratulatory gifts in their rings and carriages. The servants carried them inside, and there were people in charge of counting them in the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
When everyone entered the courtyard at the front door, they realized that there were so many congratulatory gifts that they almost filled the entire courtyard. Moreover, many of them were piled up higher than people. Just the sum of these gifts alone was probably astronomical.
"The Prefecture Overseer is waiting for everyone in the main hall. Important people, please follow me," the person who led the way said.
The City Lord and the others nodded. After some arrangements, they only brought less than ten people with them. They were the City Lord, the Deputy City Lord, the Alliance Master, and the Deputy Alliance Master.
Following the person who led the way, the group of people shuttled through the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion. The Prefecture Overseer's Mansion was huge, and it was at least four times the size of the City Lord's Mansion. When everyone arrived in front of the main hall, they realized that there was a huge square in front of the main hall. It was probably more than ten acres.
Everyone followed behind the person who led the way and looked at the scenery on both sides. There were sculptures of weapons on both sides, and each of them was about six meters tall. They stood around the square, looking very solemn and dignified. However, it was obvious that these sculptures were placed there recently. It was enough to show how obsessed this new Prefecture Overseer was with martial arts.
Soon, everyone climbed up the steps in front of the main hall. There were a total of 66 steps, and they led straight to the huge main hall. Guards stood on both sides of the steps. Every guard's height and expression were exactly the same, which made people gasp in admiration.
"This Prefecture Overseer's Mansion is many times better than my City Lord's Mansion." The City Lord looked around and sighed softly.
The people behind him also nodded. However, this was the difference between a Level Five Heavenly Master and a Level Six Heavenly Master. A Level Six Heavenly Master was a supreme existence in a small country. It was not an exaggeration to say that they had reached the heavens in a single step.
Finally, everyone walked down the steps and arrived outside the main hall. The huge doors of the main hall were wide open, and the scene inside was unobstructed. A person in a crimson official's robe was sitting on the high seat of honor, and many people were standing below him.
At this moment, the person who led the way walked into the main hall and knelt down in the middle. He said to the Prefecture Overseer, "Reporting to my Lord, the City Lord of Black Wolf City and the others have arrived!"
"Oh?" The Prefecture Overseer, Zhang Tianwu, who was playing with the antiques in his hands, raised his head and looked at the group of people waiting outside the door. He raised his hand and said, "Let them in!"
"Yes!" The person who led the way immediately nodded and turned to the door. He said to everyone, "Everyone, please come in."
The City Lord nodded and led everyone into the main hall. After standing in the middle of the main hall, the City Lord led everyone to bow and salute the Prefecture Overseer. He said loudly, "Greetings, Lord Prefecture Overseer!"
If ordinary people saw the Prefecture Overseer, they would have to bow and salute. However, Heavenly Masters did not need to do so. All Heavenly Masters did not need to bow and salute other than master and disciple. After all, everyone's future was uncertain.
The Prefecture Overseer looked at the eight people from Black Wolf City and said with a smile, "You may rise!"
"Thank you, Lord Prefecture Overseer!" The City Lord stood up and said to the Prefecture Overseer, "Lord Prefecture Overseer, these are all important members of Black Wolf City. Please allow me to introduce them to you."
"Yes, go ahead!" The Prefecture Overseer waved his hand casually and said.
"This is the Deputy City Lord of Black Wolf City, Liang Qing. He is my right-hand man." The City Lord said loudly, "These three are the leaders of the three major Hunter Alliances of Black Wolf City. They are Wan Kedong, Song Ge, and Liu Lan."
"Liu Lan?" The Prefecture Overseer raised his eyebrows. He looked at the young and beautiful Liu Lan and said with a smile, "I have heard of your name. The incident of Prince Chu in Black Wolf City is known by everyone in the world. Many people in the royal family are also talking about it. I wonder if Lu An is here today?"
"Reporting to the Prefecture Overseer, Lu An is here as well," the City Lord said and turned to look at Lu An.
Lu An understood and took a step forward. He cupped his hands and said, "That's me."
The Prefecture Overseer's eyes immediately scanned Lu An. Suddenly, Lu An felt like his body was being spied on. This was a feeling that only a Level-6 Heavenly Master could give him. He did not like it, but he remained indifferent and did not show it.
"Peak Level-3." The Prefecture Overseer nodded slightly and praised, "It is indeed rare for you to have such strength at your age. When I was your age, I had just entered the academy."
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, you flatter me. I was just lucky. My future achievements are unknown," Lu An said politely.
"You don't have to be so humble. However, I would like to know how you were able to injure a Level-5 Heavenly Master?" the Prefecture Overseer asked with a very interested look in his eyes.
"I was just lucky. In addition, the other party did not take me seriously, so I was able to succeed by chance," Lu An said politely. "If we really fought, I would definitely not be able to withstand one move."
The Prefecture Overseer burst into laughter after hearing Lu An's humble words: "You do know how to be humble, but it's not good to be too humble. As a Heavenly Master who wants to go one step further, you must have a heart that looks down on all heroes and the world!"
"Yes." Lu An cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Prefecture Overseer, for your guidance. I will remember it."
Seeing Lu An so respectful, the Prefecture Overseer was very pleased. He turned to look at Liu Lan again and asked, "I heard from others that you have obtained an inheritance?"
"Yes." Liu Lan nodded and said.
"Inheritances are rare. It is difficult to find one or two in the entire Tianlang Dynasty. You are very lucky to have obtained one." The Prefecture Overseer said with a smile, "I have seen others receive inheritances, but they did not reach the peak of Level-5 immediately like you. Most of them started as Level-4 Heavenly Masters. It seems that the inheritance you received is very high! When you become a Level-6 Heavenly Master in the future, if you have nothing to do, come here and have a good fight with me! "
Everyone could not help but laugh. This Prefecture Overseer was indeed a martial arts fanatic. However, it seemed that his personality was very good. Liu Lan also smiled politely and said, "Yes, if I can become a Level-6 Heavenly Master, I will definitely spar with you, Lord Prefecture Overseer."
As soon as she said that, everyone in the palace laughed. Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, a guide suddenly entered the palace and knelt before the Prefecture Overseer in front of everyone.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, Guangyi City's City Lord and others request an audience!"
