Chapter 150: The City Lord

Yao City Lord?

Lu Zhangsheng, upon hearing this.

A hint of doubt appeared on his face.

Earlier, I had already sent people to make contact with them.

Now, this city lord actually came in person again, which is unexpected.

After all, he is a senior, and his status is quite extraordinary, so Lu Zhangsheng didn't say much and directly said: "Please, city lord, come in."

After his words fell, Ji Qiongxiao outside nodded and then left.

Soon after.

The Lord of Lin Huang Ancient City, Yao Dian, was then led inside.

"Divine Son." As soon as he entered, his face bore a smile and respect.

Although as the person with the greatest power, highest status, and even strongest strength in the whole ancient city,

yet when facing Lu Zhangsheng, he still maintained enough humility, which many others cannot.

"City lord, you're being too polite, no need for this." However, Lu Zhangsheng did not fully accept this.

Instead, he appeared even more polite; no matter what, the person before him is also a strong expert.

It is necessary to give him due respect.

Even if it's his own status.

And his identity.

He is completely superior to the other party, and even in the present world, few can compare.

But regarding this, Lu Zhangsheng never felt anything about it, nor did he ever have the idea of looking down on others.

Then Yao Dian before him, seeing this, nodded and immediately asked: "Divine Son, have you gone out to check the situation these days?"

Recently the city has been very lively, Lu Zhangsheng has also heard of this; the outstanding younger generations of the major forces have basically all gathered together, among whom are not lacking those famed heavenly pride who have shaken the world.

During this period, many people have gathered and gotten to know each other, after all, the North Sea Hunt is approaching.

At that time, it would likely turn into competition, even into conflict.

So it is also necessary to find out in advance.

And there is also this.

If one sees someone promising, one can also make early connections.

When the time comes, perhaps they could join forces against enemies, wouldn't that lower the danger to the lowest? Of course, this has nothing to do with Lu Zhangsheng; he simply doesn't care, so he basically hasn't gone out.

So in response to this, he just smiled and shook his head: "I'm not paying attention."

He certainly couldn't say he doesn't care about this.

After all, that would be too arrogant.

Moreover, there's no need for me to say all of this.

After all, we're still in the polite stage.

Meanwhile, Yao Dian opposite him, seeing this, his smile did not diminish.

However, in his heart he was very surprised, because he knows this Lu Family Divine Son before him.

He is only about one year old, yet his manner of interacting with people, I also can't quite figure out.

Could it be that...

Is this what makes the peerless heavenly pride different? Yao Dian pondered in his heart, then said nothing more and directly said: "I once said that I received guidance from the Lu Family Thirteen Xuan Ancestor; over these years I have had no way to repay the favor, but now that the Divine Son has come, I also have an opportunity."

After saying that, he directly waved his hand, and strands of divine light surged forth, finally gathering before him.

That is a square cauldron of red-gold luster, emanating a powerful aura.

On it are also profound patterns resembling clouds.

But it is not a magical treasure, but rather a kind of secret treasure.

The so-called secret treasure,

is something specially refined for use against enemies, perhaps having no effect.

But under certain special circumstances, it can produce unexpected effects.

"This object is named the Red Gold Cloud Pattern Cauldron; I specially refined it for you. If the Divine Son participates in the North Sea Hunt, it will be of great use at that time. As for when it can be taken out, the Divine Son will decide then."

At this moment, Yao Dian spoke again, his expression extremely serious, obviously treating this as a major matter.

Lu Zhangsheng watched this scene, feeling quite surprised, for he could indeed sense it.

The special nature of that cauldron before him, although he still doesn't know its specific use,

but as the Lord of Lin Huang Ancient City, bordering the North Sea,

his understanding of that place is naturally ample, so refining such a cauldron is not strange at all.

So Lu Zhangsheng had no doubt whatsoever about this, and simply asked: "Senior, are you truly willing to give this to me?"

The other party's claim is that they want to repay the grace of the Thirteen Xuan Ancestor's guidance; regarding this, he naturally would not fully believe it.

Because there are many things one could do, and it's not necessary to act upon oneself.

After all, that is a giant of the Longevity Realm.

And within the city,

Lu Zhenxuan is also present.

Everyone considered, they are all descendants of the Thirteen Xuan Ancestor and also members of the Lu Family.

Therefore, in Lu Zhangsheng's speculation, there must be another reason.

Indeed.

Upon hearing those words,

City Lord Yao Dian's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment, and he then said: "It's the method I cultivated; recently some problems have come up. If, after the North Sea Hunt ends, the Divine Son returns to the Lu Family and sees that Thirteen Elder Ancestor again."

"May I ask what the problem is? No need to go into detail; that Thirteen Elder Ancestor definitely knows."

I see.

Upon hearing that,

Lu Zhangsheng immediately came to his senses.

Indeed, there was another purpose.

As for why he was chosen, he also understood.

Everyone knows that, as the Divine Son, Lu Zhangsheng's cultivation is guided by the Lu Family Elder Ancestors.

Therefore, within the Lu Family, he is the only one who can easily see the Elder Ancestors.

Even Lu Zhenxuan lacks this qualification; it's a difference in treatment.

However, regarding Yao Dian's problem,

Lu Zhangsheng, however, did not immediately agree to help, but only said: "I can speak on your behalf, but there's one thing: whether the Thirteen Xuan Ancestor agrees or not, I cannot guarantee, and I cannot let the Thirteen Xuan Ancestor be put in a difficult position."

After all, this isn't a request made on himself—how could he possibly decide for someone else? Upon hearing this, Yao Dian immediately froze, wanting to say something.

But in the end, he felt it made perfect sense.

Even as the Lu Family Divine Son,

one cannot say to demand that the Lu Family Elder Ancestors do something.

In this regard, one can only express a hope; as for other matters, one cannot ask for too much.

Immediately, he looked at the other person, took a deep breath, and then said: "Then I'll trouble the Divine Son."

The implied meaning is simple: the cauldron is still to be given to Lu Zhangsheng.

Whether the matter succeeds or not, Yao Dian also didn't have high expectations.

After all, after reaching his level of cultivation,

What is needed is

also mindset and time.

As for Lu Zhangsheng, after hearing this he nodded, then without any hesitation he gestured and put that cauldron into his bag.

Beside him, Yao Dian seeing this couldn't help but be stunned, then suddenly felt as if he had been tricked, losing the cauldron, and yet he seemed to feel grateful toward this Divine Son?

What's going on?

He pondered, but didn't think too much about it.

After speaking further about some secrets of the North Sea, he then rose and took his leave.

"Alright, everyone come in."

Lu Zhangsheng seeing this, then spoke.

Soon, Ji Qiongxiao and her two sisters, together with Tuoba Yun, entered the main hall.

Regarding what just happened, the former did not conceal it, so they all knew.
