Hearing this, Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes.

A trace of surprise flashed in his gaze.

This Lord City Lord had actually come to see him personally. Although he hadn’t met the City Lord before, he’d heard from Que’er about him. This City Lord was said to be a well-known body refining expert in Black Sand City.

It was also said he had cultivated the Heavenly Gang Body to the peak of the Fourth Layer.

Zhou Yu was quite curious about this person.

After a moment, Zhou Yu opened the door and walked out.

Following Que’er to the courtyard, he saw a large group of people standing outside.

At the forefront was a middle-aged man, accompanied by Little Lin.

Behind him were the same group of people from the City Lord Mansion he had seen that day.

Seeing Zhou Yu come out, everyone looked at him excitedly, thanking him once again.

At this moment, the middle-aged man stepped forward, looked at Zhou Yu, and smiled:

"You must be Zhou Yu."

"I am the City Lord of Black Sand City, my surname is Song."

"I came here in person to thank you for saving my grandson. If it weren’t for you, Little Lin might not have made it back."

"If you have any requests, I will try my best to satisfy them as a token of gratitude."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu waved his hand and said:

"Lord City Lord, you are too polite."

"What I did was just spur of the moment. If you wish to express gratitude, thank Miss Que’er."

"It was she who discovered Little Lin first."

Lord City Lord laughed heartily:

"Miss Que’er is from the Skywind Mercenary Corps. I have always had good relations with the Skywind Mercenary Corps."

"In the future, I will pay even more attention to the Skywind Mercenary Corps."

"By the way, I heard you are also a Body Refining Master, and you have cultivated the Heavenly Gang Body to the Fourth Layer as well."

"If I weren’t in a hurry to leave for a trip, I would really like to have a good exchange with you."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Are you leaving here?"

Lord City Lord smiled slightly:

"Not exactly, I just have to leave for some time due to urgent matters."

Saying this, Lord City Lord took out a rusty-looking token and handed it to Zhou Yu.

"This is a token of my Black Sand City."

"My revered teacher has cultivated the Heavenly Gang Body to the peak of the Seventh Layer."

"You can go to him with this token, and he will give you some guidance in view of the token."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart stirred, and he immediately accepted the token.

Once it was in his hand, he realized this token was far more valuable than it appeared.

This token seemed to have something mysterious about it.

Seeing Zhou Yu accept the token, Lord City Lord suddenly moved his lips, and the next moment, a voice sounded in Zhou Yu’s mind.

It was the location of Lord City Lord’s master’s residence.

After doing all this, Lord City Lord left with his people.

However, no one noticed that at this moment, Zhou Yu’s gaze had changed.

Because, just now, when Lord City Lord used a secret technique to communicate with him, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

Zhou Yu instantly thought of it.

It was the aura of Fire-eyed Flying Ants.

How could Lord City Lord have the aura of Fire-eyed Flying Ants on him?

Although the aura only briefly appeared and disappeared, during this time, Zhou Yu had interacted mostly with Fire-eyed Flying Ants.

He was sure he couldn’t be mistaken.

At this moment, as he watched Lord City Lord and his group leaving, doubts flickered in his eyes.

And at this time, Little Lin suddenly turned around, glanced at Zhou Yu.

Little Lin smiled at Zhou Yu and waved his hand.

His smile was extremely bright.

Seeing this, a sharp light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

In an instant, he understood what was going on.

No doubt, Lord City Lord was likely controlled by the Fire-eyed Flying Ants.

They probably still intended to capture Little Lin.

Unexpectedly, these Fire-eyed Flying Ants possessed such intelligence.

Zhou Yu sighed in his heart.

Initially, he didn’t want to meddle.

But who told him to encounter this situation?

After watching Lord City Lord and his group leave, Zhou Yu informed Que’er that he was going into seclusion to cultivate and recover, making sure no one disturbed him.

If Aunt Fang came, let her wait outside. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Que’er agreed immediately.

Then Zhou Yu turned and entered his room.

However, no one noticed that not long after, a shadow slipped out of Zhou Yu’s room, disappearing into the courtyard.

...

On the other side.

Lord City Lord, with a group of subordinates, headed straight out of the city, then hurried west.

His subordinates were full of curiosity but did not ask questions.

Until they were hundreds of miles away from Black Sand City, Lord City Lord suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at everyone, saying:

"Alright, this is the place."

His subordinates were all puzzled.

"Didn’t you say you were finding a hiding place for Young Master Lin?"

"City Lord, what are we doing here?"

"There doesn’t seem to be any hiding place here!"

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Lord City Lord’s face.

"This is your burial ground!"

Saying this, he unhesitatingly attacked.

In an instant, the heads of the three subordinates in front of him flew off.

The others were dumbfounded.

"City Lord, you..."

Amidst the overwhelming shock, a large number of flying ants suddenly appeared around them.

These flying ants shrieked and pounced on them.

In a matter of breaths, the subordinates were all killed, surrounded by agonized screams.

Only Little Lin, with a pale face, was left.

At this moment, Lord City Lord grinned maliciously at Little Lin.

"No wonder you have the bloodline of the Golden Palace Clan, just this courage alone has the aura of the Ancient Golden Simurgh."

While he was speaking, a voice suddenly came.

"Lord City Lord is truly ruthless to his subordinates."

Hearing this sudden voice, Lord City Lord’s expression changed, and he looked in the direction of the voice to see a shadow quietly appearing.

"It’s you?"

The person was Zhou Yu.

"Yes, it’s me!"

Lord City Lord looked at Zhou Yu with a cold face.

"No matter why you came here, since you’ve seen all this, you must die."

As he spoke, Lord City Lord waved his hand coldly.

The swarm of flying ants immediately lunged at Zhou Yu.

Facing these flying ants, Zhou Yu’s expression remained calm. He slightly shook his body, and in the next moment, a violent Blood Qi erupted.

Boom!

Zhou Yu punched out.

That terrifying Blood Qi instantly engulfed the swarm of flying ants.

In an instant, the swarm of more than a hundred flying ants was completely obliterated.

Then, Zhou Yu looked at Lord City Lord.

"Just a mere Fire-eyed Flying Ant, possessing Lord City Lord’s body, strutting around Black Sand City and trying to take Little Lin away."

"I am quite curious about you."

"How do you possess such spiritual wisdom?"

As these words came out, Lord City Lord’s expression changed dramatically, and his eyes turned more and more scarlet.

"You... you actually saw through my identity?"

"How did you do it?"

Zhou Yu had no interest in wasting words with him.

He stepped forward, his aura locking onto Lord City Lord.

"Are you coming out on your own, or do I have to force you out?"
