With Xiao Yuan's speed, it didn't take too much time to reach Tianhuang City. However, within just one day, he could vaguely see the outline of Tianhuang City.

"Is this the Tianhuang City you mentioned?"

Just as Xiao Yuan stopped and looked at a corner of the city covered in lush greenery in the distance, a familiar voice sounded in his ears with a hint of coldness.

Xiao Yuan turned his head and saw Cai Lin, who was wearing a red dress, also gazing at a corner of the city. Her flawless profile came into his sight.

"Yes, this is it. You should have some impression of Liu Qing, right? His family is here."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said.

"Ah."

Hearing this, the enchanting beauty nodded slightly, but her face still had that pretended indifference of a queen.

Xiao Yuan had already gotten used to this.

Although this woman said harsh words, she was still nice to him. Although she didn't show up in the space wormhole before, Xiao Yuan could feel that she was by his side.

"Let's go, let's go into the city together."

With a light chuckle, Xiao Yuan reached out to grab Cai Lin's hand, but found it empty.

"Humph! I am not some little girl. I will not play those little hand-holding tricks with you!"

The voice echoed in my ears, but the person had disappeared.

"Which Dou Zong master would use the power of space for something like this?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly, then his figure flashed and appeared in a seemingly empty area beside him, and grabbed a snow-white wrist in his hand.

"Let go!"

The beauty in the red dress was caught by Xiao Yuan from the cover of the power of space. She was also subconsciously stunned, but she quickly reacted, her pretty face turned slightly cold, and she scolded in a cold voice.

"Cai Lin, I've been thinking about this for two months, and I finally figured it out."

Xiao Yuan had a serious look on his face and did not let go of the beauty in his hands.

"What you said before makes sense. I am now quite powerful. You said that if you don't threaten me, then you have no reason to stay by my side, so I thought of a reason for you."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Cai Lin was stunned subconsciously, then frowned and asked indifferently:
"What reason?"

Xiao Yuan laughed strangely and said, "You don't want the snake people to return to the depths of the Tagor Desert, do you? If you don't follow me, I will drive them back to the desert!"

"you dare!"

Hearing this, Cai Lin seemed to have regained her temper as Queen Medusa. She immediately raised her eyebrows and spoke angrily.

"Do you think I dare?"

Xiao Yuan moved closer and his expression became colder.

"you will not."

Cai Lin suddenly revealed a charming smile, turned around and fell towards the city below.

"."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan sighed and then chased after him helplessly.

Cai Lin couldn't possibly kill him, and he certainly couldn't really use this kind of thing as a bargaining chip to get along with each other.

"Okay, okay, you can't threaten me, and I can't threaten you, so can't we just live in harmony?"

Xiao Yuan chased after her and continued to reach out to hold the beauty's hand.

"Humph, why should I live in harmony with a human like you?"

Cai Lin was as stubborn as ever.

But Xiao Yuan knew clearly that no matter how hard the mouth was, it would become soft when kissed.

So he didn't care about it and grabbed her slender hand.

"Then why did you follow me when I left?"

Xiao Yuan asked with a smile as he pulled Cai Lin and flew downwards.

"I am just passing through. I haven't decided where to go yet, so I took a ride. If you don't want to, I will leave."

Cai Lin turned her head to the other side and snorted coldly.

"How can that be? You know I can't possibly chase you away."

Xiao Yuan smiled and pulled the arrogant queen to the ground.

As they approached the city, the majestic city walls appeared before them with a solemn look. Under the towering city gates, people were coming and going constantly, and the place was filled with a bustling atmosphere.

The two walked in, and what came into view was the spacious street and the shops on both sides that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The crowed heads of people, accompanied by noisy voices, turned into a huge sound wave and spread out.

The two did not cover their faces, and therefore, their two beautiful faces and perfect figures were as dazzling as flash lights in the dark night among the crowd.

There were many glances from all around, some implicit, some obvious, each with different meanings.

After grabbing a passerby and asking about the location of the Liu family, Xiao Yuan took Cai Lin and went straight to the Liu family.

After passing through several very long streets and turning several corners, a very large manor appeared in their sight.

This manor is extremely vast, and at this moment, outside the manor, it is almost full of armed guards, whose vigilant eyes are constantly scanning the surroundings.

Seeing the tight defense of the manor, Xiao Yuan hadn't said anything yet, and the beauty beside him said for the first time: "It seems that your old friend seems to have encountered some troubles."

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think anything of it. With him around, what trouble could there be?
"I'll go up and ask." Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, and after greeting Cai Lin, he went forward and clasped his fists toward the guard at the door and said, "Hello, I'm Liu Qing's friend at Canaan College. Please introduce me to him."

"Friends of the head of the family?"

Hearing this, the guard looked at Xiao Yuan and Cai Lin in the distance with some confusion, and was somewhat surprised at their appearance. After returning the greeting, he said, "The head of the family and the Cheng family are now fighting for the management rights of the space wormhole. Both families have brought a lot of people to the square in the center of the city. Unfortunately, I am on guard today and cannot go over to help."

"Why is this happening? I heard that the management rights of this space wormhole are rotated every year. Why is there a fight over it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned again and asked the guard in front of him in confusion.

"It's the Cheng family who's behind this. Our Liu family just handed over the management rights to them last month, but for some reason, they suddenly want to take the management rights back!"

When this matter was mentioned, the guard's face was filled with indignation.

"Is this so"

Xiao Yuan nodded thoughtfully, then bowed to thank the guards, turned around and pulled Cai Lin towards the city center.

In the center of Tianhuang City, there is an extremely spacious bluestone square. In the center of the square is a stone platform. On the stone platform, a huge dark space wormhole is slowly rotating, and an astonishing space fluctuation is diffused from it. .

The area around the square was now almost occupied by a sea of ​​densely packed people. The noisy sounds were like devilish sounds that hurt people's eardrums. Countless curious eyes were looking at the center of the square, where two groups of people were confronting each other.

"Cheng Yao, this year's space wormhole is under the control of my Liu family. What do you mean by your actions today?"

Among the group of people on the left, the leader is a burly man with a resolute face and a faint sense of majesty without anger. This face is vaguely familiar. If you look closely, who else could it be except Liu Qing?
Today's Liu Qing no longer has the sharpness he had in the past, but instead has a calmness. After all, what the Liu family needs is a qualified patriarch, not a hot-blooded boy.

Behind Liu Qing, there were two old men with white hair and beards. They stood casually, but they had a majestic aura that was quietly rippling, making people dare not underestimate them. In addition, there was a plump, mature and charming body beside them. This woman was dressed in red, her face was like a peach, full of temptation, and looked extremely attractive to men. However, this pretty face was a little unfamiliar to Xiao Yuan. It should be Liu Qing's sister Liu Fei. Xiao Yuan was not familiar with her, but she had some minor frictions with Xiao Yan in the inner courtyard that year.

Today, Liu Fei is becoming more and more attractive, like a ripe peach, causing the gazes of many men outside the square to unconsciously shift towards her.

"Hey, Liu Qing, you are still a generation younger than me. You can't be so rude when talking to your elders."

Opposite Liu Qing and others, there was also a large group of people with fierce faces. Their leader was a middle-aged man. He glanced at Liu Qing with a dark look, and then smiled strangely.

Hearing this, Liu Qing sneered and was about to speak when an old voice suddenly sounded from the square.

"This is the latest order from Burning Flame Valley."

Hearing the voice, countless eyes in the field immediately shifted their gazes, and saw an old man in a scarlet robe, standing hunched over, with many red spots on his old face.

"Elder Chihuo of the Burning Flame Valley?"

Seeing this old man, exclamations suddenly rang out in the square. Liu Qing and the two old men behind him also changed their expressions slightly. They immediately bowed and said politely: "It turns out to be Elder Chihuo. I wonder what this latest order means? Our Liu family has just taken over the management of the space wormhole. The deadline should be one year, right?"

"The Valley Master has issued an order to invite some high-level alchemists to the Burning Flame Valley to help him refine a certain type of elixir, but he has not been able to find a suitable candidate so far. Therefore, he has issued an order that if anyone can find a high-level alchemist, the management rights of the space wormhole will be handed over to his family. This effect will last for three years."

The old man known as Elder Chihuo said calmly.

"The Cheng family has found a sixth-grade alchemist certified by Danta. If your Liu family can also find him and invite him to go to Burning Flame Valley with me, this space wormhole can also be handed over to you, and the time limit can be extended from one year to three years."

Elder Chihuo pointed his finger in the direction of the Cheng family, where an old man in a purple alchemist robe was standing proudly with his hands behind his back.

"Sixth-grade alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing's face changed. His Liu family did have alchemists, but the highest one was only a fifth-grade alchemist. There had never been a sixth-grade alchemist. After all, alchemists of that level could get good treatment even in a force like Burning Flame Valley. Who would come to a family like theirs that was neither big nor small?
"Elder Chihuo, this happened too suddenly. Can you give the Liu family a few days? I will do my best to find a sixth-grade alchemist!"

His expression changed for a while, and Liu Qing could no longer act as domineeringly as he did in the inner courtyard before, so he could only grit his teeth and speak.

Elder Chihuo shook his head, his tone still calm: "This is an order from the Valley Master himself, who dares to delay? Not to mention your Liu family, even I don't have the ability. If your Liu family can't hire a sixth-grade alchemist within today, then the management rights of the space wormhole will be handed over to the Cheng family."

Seeing that Elder Chihuo showed no mercy, Liu Qing was embarrassed and clenched his fists. Where could he find a sixth-grade alchemist in one day? Did he really think that a sixth-grade alchemist was a cabbage? Even in the Dan Tower, an alchemist of this level was considered to be close to the top.

"This old man must have accepted a gift from the Cheng family!"

Behind Liu Qing, Liu Fei gritted her teeth and said in great indignation.

"Shut up!" Liu Qing's face darkened. Seeing this, Liu Fei, who was behind him, could only stamp his feet in grievance and stopped talking.

"What should we do, two elders?" Turning his head, Liu Qing looked at the two old men behind him and sighed.

Hearing this, the two old men also laughed bitterly and said, "Last week we also vaguely heard that Burning Flame Valley seemed to be looking for a high-level alchemist, but we didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that Fei'er was right. Someone must have informed the Cheng family a long time ago. I have also heard of this sixth-grade alchemist. It is said that he is a senior alchemist who has been promoted to the sixth-grade alchemist for a long time. It is difficult to find a higher level than him in Tianhuang City."

Hearing the two say this, Liu Qing's heart sank, and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. The space wormhole was too important to the Liu family. It was a huge source of income. With this income as a foundation, their Liu family would be able to recruit more capable people and expand their influence. But if it was taken away by the Cheng family this time, then their development progress would inevitably stagnate.

"Haha, nephew Liu, stop having those wild thoughts and just hand over the management rights of the space wormhole. If I'm happy in the future, maybe I can let the Liu family get some benefits." The middle-aged man called Cheng Yao couldn't help but laugh strangely when he saw Liu Qing's changing expression.

Hearing the other party's mocking words, Liu Qing's face turned pale, but now he is the patriarch of the Liu family, and every move he makes must be considered for the family. He could only suppress the rage in his heart, gritted his teeth unwillingly, and said in a gloomy voice: "Cheng Yao, you are cruel this time! Let's go!"

"Leave? This isn't the style of the Inner Court Spear Tyrant Liu Qing, is it?"

Just as Liu Qing turned around, a familiar laugh sounded in the sky.

Liu Qing frowned when he heard this. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

Liu Fei on the side raised her head and looked at the young man in white in the sky with her eyes wide open.

Then, she pulled Liu Qing's clothes and said with some ecstasy: "Brother, it seems to be Xiao Yuan!"

"Xiao Yuan?"

Hearing this, Liu Qing looked up and saw a young man in white clothes walking towards them in the sky. He took a step and appeared in front of them.

"Walking in the air, Dou Zong strongman. Have you really reached this point!?"

After seeing the familiar handsome young man in front of him who turned out to be a Dou Zong, Liu Qing suddenly remembered the rumors about the Han family some time ago. He finally confirmed that the young man in front of him was Xiao Yuan, who had made Fenglei Pavilion so troubled.

"Liu Qing, long time no see, I hope you are well."

Xiao Yuan greeted with a smile. (End of this chapter)
