Chu Jun stood upright like a pine tree. He calmly looked up with his hands behind his back and saw three ancient seal characters carved on the top of the city gate-Mo Xing City. Because of its age, the handwriting was a little blurry, and yellow-green moss grew on the uneven walls.
Standing on both sides of the city gate were two rows of Star-Blue Army troops with blue ribbons. At this moment, they were facing a great enemy. They looked at the man in green with a serious expression. There was nothing they could do about it. The name that this man gave was truly frightening. It was King Chu Shaxing , who had been in the limelight recently.
A group of people rushed over from the city. One of them had white eyebrows, and his blue robe fluttered in the wind. His aura was elegant and gentle. The Star-Blue Army that guarded the city was secretly shocked. The old patriarch, who had few stewards, actually personally came out of the city to welcome Chu Jun!
The blue-robed old man led a group of people to the city gate. When his sharp gaze touched Chu Jun, his heart trembled slightly. He cupped his fists and saluted, "This must be King Chu, right?"
Chu Jun cupped his hands in return, "Exactly!"
"I don't know if King Chu has come, but I, Lan Qinghe, am at a disadvantage in welcoming him from afar!"
"So it's Old Patriarch Lan. I'm sorry!" Chu Jun's gaze swept across the crowd, but he did not see Shen Xiaobao and Lan Duo'er. Everyone present should be from the Lan Clan.
Lan Qinghe smiled and said, "Little Treasure just happened to be in Star Charm City these past two days. Duo'er is still in her prime, so it's inconvenient to go out of the city to welcome her. I hope King Chu won't take offense!"
Chu Jun said happily, "Miss Duo'er has given birth. Congratulations, Old Patriarch Lan!"
"Haha, I still have to thank King Chu for saving Duo'er back then!" Lan Qinghe smiled mercifully. He could tell that he was very happy.
"It's no need to worry about it!" Chu Jun smiled and asked, "When will Little Treasure return?"
"King Chu, please take a seat in the city for a moment. Little Treasure will probably be back in the afternoon!" Lan Qinghe gestured politely.
Chu Jun was not polite either, and he stepped into the city without hesitation. An eighteen or nineteen year old youth behind Lan Qinghe coldly snorted in dissatisfaction. Chu Jun stopped and turned to look. The young man's heart trembled. He couldn't help but move behind a middle-aged man beside him. He turned his head and didn't dare to meet Chu Jun's gaze.
Lan Qinghe frowned imperceptibly, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce you to King Chu. This is my son!"
The middle-aged man cupped his fists at Chu Jun and said indifferently, "Blue Cloud Dragon pays his respects to King Chu!"
"So it's Clan Head Lan. Nice to meet you!" Chu Jun smiled and said, "This handsome person beside him must be the young master of the Lan Clan!"
Lan Yunlong nodded and said, "It's my second son, Lan Xiang!"
Chu Jun almost laughed out loud. Sure enough, it was Lan Xiang who came out. He nodded and praised, "Good name!" After saying that, he turned around and continued walking.
Lan Yunlong was slightly stunned. It was rumored that this Chu Shaxing was ruthless and extremely tyrannical. Yesterday, he even used his sword to level a mountain peak to demonstrate against the Star Blue Army. Therefore, he was extremely worried that Lan Xiang's cold snort would anger this Star Killer. Now that he saw that Chu Jun wasn't angry but praised his son's good name, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He turned around and glared at Lan Xiang with warning.
Lan Xiang curled his lips in disapproval, but he inadvertently wiped the cold sweat off his palms.
With Chu Jun's powerful divine sense, Lan Yunlong and his son naturally couldn't conceal these small actions from him. They couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Although he was powerful, he didn't need to make things difficult for a weak Second Ancestor. Before coming here, Chu Jun had already inquired about the situation of the Lan Clan from An Xiang. He knew that the current Patriarch of the Lan Clan, Lan Yunlong, had a concubine. This concubine had given birth to a son. He heard that this fellow was not right with Shen Xiaobao, so he stopped and turned around to probe.
Whether it was a snail or a horse, one could tell at a try. First of all, Lan Xiang's expression was filled with rage. The city was far from perfect. Second, he dared to groan blindly in the face of a fierce person like him. If he was really tough, it would be fine. However, he turned around and hid behind the adults with a single glance. He was obviously a cowardly and stupid young man. Such a thing was indeed difficult to accomplish. No wonder the head of the Lan Clan would spare no effort to support Shen Xiaobao, his grandson-in-law, to ascend to the throne.
Chu Jun followed Lan Qinghe and the others into the City Lord's Mansion.
Lan Qinghe obviously didn't want to offend Chu Jun. He didn't mention anything about Chu Jun's obvious bullying of the Star-Blue Army yesterday. He had people serve tea and entertain him politely. Furthermore, he even accompanied Chu Jun to chat with him personally.
Lan Xiang sat with him for a while before he became impatient. He found an excuse and retreated. He brought his two trusted henchmen out of the City Lord's Mansion and went to the streets to have fun.
'"Tsk, I used to hear people boast so much. Now, it seems that this Chu Shaxing is nothing more than that. I really don't understand why Grandpa treated him so politely. I heard that he even killed the scouts of our Star-Blue Army yesterday!" Lan Xiang said with a face full of disdain and displeasure.
The fat attendant on the left buzzed, "Young Master Xiang, I think this Chu Shaxing really has guts. The person who bullied us yesterday dares to go to the meeting alone today!"
Lan Xiang was even more unhappy when he heard this. He slapped the attendant's head and scolded, "What the hell do you know? He has some kind of hair! Didn't he rely on the fact that he saved my sister Duo'er back then, and that he was also Shen Xiaobao's fellow disciple? He knew that we wouldn't do anything to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him!"
"Haha, Young Master Xiang has a point!" Fatty laughed.
"Young Master Xiang, I heard that Chu Jun sent people here several times to recruit our Star-Blue Army. This time, Chu Shaxing personally came here to take note of this. Perhaps that fellow Shen Xiao Bao would agree to surrender!" The tall and thin attendant on the right had a wretched expression on his face as he lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Xiang."
Lan Xiang said angrily, "Who cares about him, Shen Xiaobao? The Star-Blue Army belongs to our Lan Clan. What right does he have to surrender? This Young Master resolutely disagrees!"
"That's right. He, Shen Xiaobao, is only an outsider. Young Master Xiang is the proper young master of the Lan Clan. The Star-Blue Army naturally listens to Young Master Xiang. However … the old clan master supports him. I'm afraid this matter …!" The tall and thin man didn't continue.
Lan Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "This old bastard is biased. He doesn't want to praise his own grandson. He insists on supporting an outsider like Shen Xiaobao!"
The tall and thin man lowered his voice and said, "No, I think the Patriarch is going to help Shen Xiaobao become the Patriarch of the Lan Clan. The little one is really not worth it for Young Master Xiang. Now, the Star-Blue Army is completely obedient to Shen. If they surrender to the Chu Army, then there's no need for Xiang to worry about you!"
The more Lan Xiang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He angrily said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's go to the Spring Floor and call a few girls for the next few days!"
Fat-headed and big-eared's eyes immediately lit up as he nodded repeatedly, "The girls from the Spring Festival Pavilion are awesome. They are all watery and skilled!"
The tall and thin man immediately said with disdain, "Go away and you'll know that you're playing with women. Sooner or later, you'll die on a woman's belly … Haha, Young Master Xiang, I'm not talking about you!"
Lan Xiang's face was dark and he didn't say anything. His thin and tall eyes turned and said, "Young Master Xiang, do you want to seize control of the Star-Blue Army?"
Lan Xiang's eyes lit up, but he quickly said disapprovingly, "That old thing supports Shen Xiaobao. How can he seize it?"
"Hehe, this little one has a good idea!"
Lan Xiang stared at the skinny tall man doubtfully and shook his head, "Tch, your IQ is not as good as this young master's. What can you do?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. This subordinate is far inferior to Young Master Xiang, but I didn't come up with this method!" The tall and thin man smiled.
Lan Xiang's heart skipped a beat as he frowned, "Who is it?"
"Hehe, I'll bring you to meet someone. You'll know later!" The tall and thin man said mysteriously, "This person is amazing!"
Lan Xiang was instantly aroused. Although this fellow had no talent, he had a lot of ambitions. Typical people with low ambitions wanted to take control of the Star-Blue Army in their dreams. Now that they heard that there was a way to seize control of the Star-Blue Army, their hearts skipped a beat.
Seeing Lan Xiang's temptation, the tall and thin man hurriedly took advantage of the hot iron to strike, "That person is not far ahead. No matter if his method succeeds or not, there is nothing to lose from listening to him!"
"Lead the way!" Lan Xiang waved his sleeves and followed the tall and thin man to a small courtyard.
The courtyard door automatically opened. The two half-exposed maids smiled and blessed, "This servant respectfully greets Young Master Lan!"
Lan Xiang swallowed his saliva and reluctantly withdrew his gaze. He followed the two maids into the room. His gaze was immediately attracted by the waist and buttocks of the two maids.
In the room sat a man dressed in scholar's clothing, sipping tea with his orchid fingers crossed. He looked like an expert from the outside world. This person was Zhao Gai, who recognized himself as the second secretary of the Heavenly Policy Manor.
There was a high cliff behind the City Lord's Mansion of Mo Xing City. A lake beneath the cliff was as calm as a mirror, and the surface of the lake hundreds of meters in radius was clear and green.
The man wearing the silver-white wolf mask led the way. Chu Jun followed behind the man and walked towards the lake. The night wind was gentle and the surroundings were quiet.
Chu Jun looked at the back of the masked man and felt a little familiar. He couldn't help but ask, "Do we know each other?"
The man said in a hoarse voice, "It should be counted!"
Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat as all the battle generals he knew flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he blurted out, "Are you Jiang Dongchen, the silver battle general?"
The man's eyes behind the mask fluctuated slightly and he said indifferently, "I wonder if the famous King Chu still remembers me. Should I feel honored? However, everyone calls me Silver Wolf now. This name is quite good!"
Jiang Dongchen was the leader of the first prince's expedition to Star Continent. Later, he was tricked by Ghost King Lie. The explosion in Heavenly Wolf City killed almost all of the Chongming Army. Jiang Dongchen was also in the city at that time, but he didn't die. In the end, he was saved by Shen Xiaobao unexpectedly. However, his appearance was ruined, so he always wore a silver wolf head mask.
"Shen Shuai is waiting for you in front!" Jiang Dongchen threw out a sentence and turned around to leave.
Sure enough, the world was unpredictable. He didn't expect Jiang Dongchen to actually not die. Furthermore, he had become Shen Xiaobao's subordinate general. Chu Jun shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk forward.
Although the lake was quite large, Chu Jun swept his divine sense through everything. There was no figure of Shen Xiaobao by the lake, nor was there any water on the lake surface. In the lake … it seemed that there was no water in the lake either.
Bang! Suddenly, a huge wave dozens of meters tall rose from the surface of the lake. A large, black, scaled fellow rushed out and grabbed Chu Jun fiercely with its white teeth.
