On this side, Yun Kuang and the Yun Family left unwillingly. On the other side, Fang Ling was surrounded by many factions.

Looking at the guys with fiery gazes, Fang Ling felt his scalp go numb. He really did not know how to deal with them. At this moment, Li Zhong Huo, the members of the Situ Family, and the steward of the City Lord's Mansion all walked up. When the surrounding forces saw this, even though they were unwilling, they could only silently retreat, allowing the few of them to come to Fang Ling's side.

"Little brat Fang Ling, this old man left Zhong Huo to be my Elder from home. Are you interested in coming to my house to be my guest elder?"

Li Zhong Huo was the first to speak. He didn't make any twists and turns, and he spoke in a straightforward manner. In that instant, Fang Ling didn't know how to reply. He understood a bit more about leaving home. In the prefecture, there was a large clan that controlled the refining industry. If it was before, he might have considered it, but …

Fang Ling swept a glance at the inconspicuous City Governor's Mansion. If he was not mistaken, the figure concealed in the air earlier was definitely the City Lord, Li Ling. Even Yun Kuang could feel it, so of course Fang Ling, who was born with a strong soul, could feel it.

A pressure even greater than Yun Kuang's and the dark fluctuations from his aura showed just how powerful this person was. Fang Ling could not think of anyone else who would hide in the dark and observe him as he approached the State of Clarity.

Based on his performance, City Lord Li Ling would definitely try to win him over, or even recommend him to join the Alliance. This was exactly what Fang Ling wanted.

As this thought flipped in his mind, in just an instant, Fang Ling made his choice. He cupped his hands in a slight regretful manner and said, "Elder Li loves it too much. However, Fang Lingzhi is not here. I can only apologize."

"Haha …" I'll say it, if little brother is such a great person, you won't be able to stay in one place forever. My brother even wants me to talk about it. However, if little brother has the time, please come and visit your home. Your magic treasure might be strong, but it seems to be incomplete! "

Li Zhong Huo was not angry. He laughed heartily as he waved his hand. After receiving the invitation, he led his clan's younger generation away. After that, the old man from the Situ Family also invited Fang Lingyun and left. In the end, only the mayor remained.

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhao, and I'm the City Lord's Mansion's External Supervisor. Seeing Young Master Fang Ling's talent, I'm here on behalf of the City Lord to invite Young Master Fang Ling to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat." Manager Zhao cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"As the supervisor of the city lord's mansion, he is at the early stage of the mana realm. However, he has a respectful expression because the words the city lord said earlier are, 'If this child doesn't die soon, he will definitely step into the Aurous Core stage in the future!" The Golden Core Realm! Even the City Lord Li Ling had to bitterly cultivate, yet he didn't dare to rashly break through to the next realm.

The Mayor said that the young man in front of him was definitely going to step in. One could see how much the Mayor valued this young man, and Chief Steward Zhao had personally witnessed the battle just now. Even Yun Kuang was defeated by the young man in front of him when he had broken through to the Dao Embryo Stage.

Regardless of whether it was the City Lord's attention or Fang Ling's strength, he had no choice but to get Steward Zhao to stand straight, not daring to show the slightest bit of disrespect.

"City Lord Li Ling?" It seems that my plan has succeeded by half! Next, we'll have to see what kind of request Li Ling will make himself. "

Fang Ling thought to himself. Then, without saying anything, he cupped his hands together and said, "In that case, Chief Steward Zhao, please lead the way."

"..."

Looking at Fang Ling riding the spirit ship and leaving the Mayor's Mansion, the crowd on the cliff was still filled with amazement. There were even countless young cultivators who had yet to step into the Immortal Dao who secretly decided to train their bodies to become as strong as Fang Ling!

"Hehe …" From the looks of it, Fang Ling will also go to the center of the Alliance. "Then we'll meet at the city of Nara."

With a wave of his hand, a spirit ship floated in the air. As soon as Zun Shan stepped into it, like an arrow leaving the bow of the universe, he rushed towards Nailiang City.

When Fang Ling stepped into the City Lord's Mansion to meet Li Ling, a storm of news swept through the State of Clarity. At first, no one believed this news, but after seeing the arrival of those who had personally come to the Tiger Leaping Cliff to watch the competition, everyone was shocked and started discussing about it. With the help of some people, this news became more and more intense, and in a short period of time, it spread to the center of the Southwest Alliance.

"What?" One of the top ten heroes, the wild wolf, has been defeated by a youngster? "

"The mysterious youth is a powerful body cultivator. His defense is invincible!"

"The young man's name is Fang Ling, and he seems to only be around sixteen or seventeen years old …"

"..."

The news spread like wildfire, and Fang Ling's name was mentioned by even more people, attracting the attention of the upper echelons of the Southwest Region Alliance. A team of Alliance cultivators, led by the Supervisor, steered their spirit ships and whizzed towards the Clear County, one to confirm the authenticity of the matter, and the other to collect the Yun Family's property. According to the agreement, Yun Kuang wanted to explore the secret area for the sake of the Alliance. The third was to observe Fang Ling and see if it was as the rumors said, whether it was worth the cultivation from the Alliance.

"City Lord!" Fang Ling has brought it. "

Manager Zhao respectfully said to the tightly shut door. Immediately, the door opened and a friendly sounding voice came out from within the hall.

"Let little friend Fang Ling come in, you should withdraw and receive your reward first."

"Thank you, City Lord!" Hearing this, Manager Zhao's face lit up, and he turned around to leave.

Fang Ling straightened his expression and walked into the hall.

Contrary to Fang Ling's expectations, the main hall was not imposing and solemn. In the deepest part of the hall, there were no high and mighty chairs. There was only a painting of a mountain of ink, an egret was swaying over a waterfall, and under the waterfall, an old man was fishing.

Underneath the mountain and river painting, City Lord Li Ling sat cross-legged behind a short table. He wore a green robe, had a three-inch beard, and made a pot of hot tea. He was extremely pleased with himself. Upon seeing Fang Ling, he raised his head and looked at him.

This gaze sent chills down Fang Ling's spine. He knew that the other party was an intelligent person, and the meaning in his eyes was clear to Fang Ling. It was likely that Li Ling had long understood his thoughts.

"Sit!"

Li Ling glanced at Fang Ling and said. Fang Ling obeyed and sat down without a word.

Li Ling was boiling tea on his own and did not say a word.

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent. After the tea was boiled, Li Ling poured a cup for Fang Ling, made an inviting gesture, and drank it himself. He seemed to be talking to himself: "People in this world are always working tirelessly for their own selfish ends, and the affairs of the world are also always changing for their own ends. I, Li, have cultivated for two hundred years. Although I have seen through most of the matters in the world, I am the only one who has a deep obsession with cultivation. I wonder what your goal is, young man? "

"Cultivate?" Status? Or something else? " Li Ling's tone was indifferent as if he had seen through everything, but it contained a deep helplessness.
