Lu Ziqi came to a sudden realization.
"So, the reason why Sir City Lord invited the other thirty-three territories to our capital is to solve the problems that Doctor Yang Fan is currently facing?"
"What else could it be?" Lan Yuanqing said, "These Emperor Grade Golden Soul Refining Pills not only have the effect of directly increasing one's Spiritual Energy cultivation, but they can also nourish one's Soul and restore one's Source."
"In the past, the reason why many Emperor Grade Masters were unable to recover from serious injuries was because their Soul Source was severely damaged and unable to recover on its own. They could only watch it weaken bit by bit and even extinguish until they finally died."
"And these Emperor Grade Golden Soul Refining Pills that Yang Fan is now taking out are undoubtedly life-saving medicines for those Emperors who are still alive and well. There is no need for Yang Fan to personally patrol around and take risks to achieve the same effect, so why not? "
Lu Ziqi's expression changed, "So, Doctor Yang Fan is actually an Emperor Grade Soul Refining Master who can refine high-grade Emperor Grade Golden Soul Refining Pills?"
Lan Yuanqing nodded, "Of course, otherwise, who would be able to take out so many Emperor Grade Golden Soul Refining Pills?"
"Then …" Lu Ziqi carefully scanned the surroundings with his Divine Sense, then whispered to Lan Yuanqing, "Why did Sir City Lord allow him to act so wilfully? With such good resources, we naturally have to have them in our hands to be at ease!"
Lan Yuanqing glanced at him and shook his head slightly.
Do you think this City Lord is a fool? If this City Lord could really do that, he would have sent people to imprison Yang Fan long ago, okay?
"Yang Fan is no longer the same as before. He is no longer a small figure that we can control with just a few words."
Lan Yuanqing said indifferently, "All the cultivators who have been treated by him, whether they are Emperors or Kings, including Old Gu who came to give me this jade box, are all deeply grateful to him and respect him greatly."
"You may not know this, but President Sima Xuefeng and President Mei Cailan have also received favors from him and are extremely friendly towards him."
"If I dare to imprison Yang Fan in the City Governor's Office now, believe it or not, within two or three minutes, someone will come knocking on our door."
As the City Lord, Lan Yuanqing controlled the entire City Barrier Array, so he had a good understanding of the real-time movements of the various forces in the capital.
Currently, almost eighty percent of the Emperors in the capital had received favors from Yang Fan and were so friendly towards Yang Fan that even Lan Yuanqing, the City Lord, felt a burst of envy and jealousy.
Normally, nothing could be seen, but once Yang Fan was in danger, or if someone wanted to harm Yang Fan, Lan Yuanqing was sure that these guys would all jump out to seek justice for Yang Fan.
In other words, Yang Fan's influence among the Emperors in the capital was much greater than that of Lan Yuanqing, the City Lord.
They couldn't afford to offend him.
"Moreover, the danger that Yang Fan is in this time is the joint pressure of the Federation's thirty-three territories. Not to mention our capital, even the central government of the Federation can't suppress it."
Lan Yuanqing sighed softly, "So, there's no chance at all. If we don't use Yang Fan's identity as an Emperor Level Soul Refiner and don't use the Emperor Level Soul Refinement Golden Pill as bait, we won't be able to pass this hurdle."
"Yang Fan should have seen through this, so he didn't hesitate to expose his identity as an Emperor Level Soul Refiner and use our capital as a fulcrum to play against the other thirty-five territories."
"And our capital can also rely on this to strengthen our influence in the various territories. Maybe we can even use this to attract more high-level cultivators to settle down."
This was a win-win situation, so Lan Yuanqing naturally wouldn't be caught in the middle and play the villain.
"Just now, the City Lord seemed to have only informed the thirty-three territories. Why are there two more territories …?"
Lu Ziqi asked, puzzled.
He'd already paid attention to this question when Lan Yuanqing had called the various territories' leaders. He'd kept it to himself, and now he'd taken the opportunity to ask.
Lan Yuanqing said, "The reason is simple. It's because the initiators of the thirty-three territories' joint pressure on the Federation government are the Qinghe Garrison and Changmeng Garrison."
"Yang Fan has said that he's never been a generous person. He's very vengeful. Anyone who wants to harm him will be blacklisted by him, and he'll never have any dealings with the people on the blacklist or the families behind them."
"In other words, the Qinghe Cui Clan and the Changmeng Mo Clan can forget about getting any medical treatment or Soul Refinement Pills from Yang Fan in the future."
Mo Ziqi was tongue-tied. "So arrogant? He actually wants to single-handedly suppress the two great clans? "
"It's not exactly a ban. He's the only one who doesn't want to have any dealings with the Cui Clan and the Mo Clan."
Lan Yuanqing casually made sarcastic remarks at the side.
"If the cultivators of these two aristocratic families get injured or want to buy Soul Refinement Pills in the future, they can still find other doctors or Soul Refinement Masters!"
Lu Ziqi's mouth twitched slightly.
That being said, the crux of the matter was that Yang Fan seemed to be the only Emperor-level doctor and Soul Refinement Master in the world.
If the Cui Clan and Mo Clan's peak King Stage or Sovereign Stage cultivators got injured, no one except Yang Fan could cure them.
There was also the Emperor-level Golden Soul Refinement Pills. The Spirit Reader Guild's Soul Refinement Masters couldn't even refine ordinary eighth-grade or ninth-grade Soul Refinement Pills, let alone the Emperor-level Golden Soul Refinement Pills.
Therefore, Yang Fan directly cut off all dealings with these two families. What was the difference between this and a ban?
Who would've thought that Yang Fan, who usually seemed to be very easy to talk to, would be so ruthless at the last moment.
After this incident, with the Cui Clan of Qinghe and the Mo Clan of Changmeng as precedents, who would dare to easily make things difficult for Yang Fan in the future?
He was clearly trying to make an example out of them.
"Isn't he afraid that doing this will backfire and cause the Federation's various domains to join forces to pressure him again?"
Lu Ziqi couldn't quite believe that a teenager would have the guts to openly challenge the Federation's various domains and kill a chicken for fun under the eyes of the domain masters.
What? Did he really think that the Region Lords were monkeys that he could play around with?
"Old Gu will endorse him."
Lan Yuanqing said, "And Lord Wu Dao of the Federal Center City is also willing to vouch for him."
"In order to express his intentions and prevent people from secretly plotting against Yang Fan, Lord Wu Dao even specially ordered his chief disciple, Ling Tian, to guard Yang Fan."
"Wu Dao?!" Lu Ziqi was shocked, "The half-step Spirit Emperor of the Sacred Forest Island, Master Wu Dao?"
Lan Yuanqing shrugged. "Who else could it be other than him?"
Lan Yuanqing also just found out that the big shot sent by the Federation's central government to deal with the matter of the thirty-three domain masters was Wu Dao.
Moreover, as early as a few hours ago, Wu Dao had already arrived in Jinghua City and had already reached some kind of agreement with Yang Fan.
When he first heard this news from Gu Zeyan, Lan Yuanqing was also a little in disbelief.
But when his divine sense swept across the sky above Jinghua University, he discovered that there was indeed a Level Six Spirit Emperor by Yang Fan's side, and that Level Six Spirit Emperor was indeed Wu Dao's chief disciple, Ling Tian, Lan Yuanqing had no choice but to believe it.
"No wonder!" Lu Ziqi suddenly muttered to himself, "No wonder the City Lord agreed to this matter so readily. No wonder the City Lord wasn't worried that this would cause the other domains to covet him."
Wu Dao and Gu Zeyan, two half-step Spirit Realm experts, were enough to make any domain master not dare to act recklessly.
Du du!
Du du!
At this moment, the communication device in Lan Yuanqing's hand suddenly vibrated. Lan Yuanqing glanced at it, raised his hand, and gestured for Lu Ziqi to be silent. After that, he lightly pressed the answer button.
Instantly, the figure of an old man with a white beard and white hair appeared in the study.
Lan Yuanqing smiled as he cupped his hands and said softly, "Brother Deshou, how come you have the time to look for me to catch up?"
Lu Ziqi's expression changed slightly. Speaking of the devil, wasn't this the Cui Clan's ancestor, Cui Deshou, who they'd just mentioned?
It seemed like he'd already obtained some information and specially came to inquire about it.
"City Lord Lan is too polite!" Cui Deshou cupped his hands and greeted Lan Yuanqing. He looked at Lan Yuanqing with a slightly unsightly expression and went straight to the point. "I heard that City Lord Lan recently made a windfall and is inviting domain masters to gather in the Capital. May I know if this is true?"
Lan Yuanqing nodded and said knowingly, "There is indeed such a thing, but it's just a small matter. Could it be that Brother Cui is also interested in this?"
"City Lord Lan must be joking. That's an Emperor Rank Soul Refining Pill. May I ask who wouldn't be interested in it?"
Cui Deshou said, "This old man shamelessly wishes to go to the Capital in three days to join in the fun. May I know if City Lord Lan would welcome me?"
Cui Deshou didn't directly ask why Lan Yuanqing had successively notified the 33 domain masters but not his Clear River Guard and Changmeng Guard.
Not only would that be disgraceful, it would also be a little like a punitive expedition.
The Capital had a transcendent status among the 36 domains of the Federation. It was only one step away from the Federal Center City.
If it wasn't necessary, Cui Deshou didn't want to have any direct conflict or unhappiness with Lan Yuanqing.
Therefore, even if there was a ball of fire in his chest, he forcefully suppressed it and didn't dare to directly explode.
"About that!" Lan Yuanqing chuckled and said calmly, "If Brother wants to come to the Capital, as the City Lord, I'll naturally welcome you with open arms. Everyone who passes through my door is a guest. There's no reason to refuse. "
"It's just that the amount of Emperor Rank Soul Refining Pills prepared for this gathering is limited. I didn't prepare a share for the Clear River Guard. Therefore, if there's anything that isn't distributed properly, I hope Brother can understand and forgive me!"
As soon as Lan Yuanqing finished speaking, Cui Deshou's old face instantly darkened. It was so dark that ink could almost be squeezed out of it.
As expected, their Clear River Guard Manor was indeed being targeted by someone!
