Liu Ruyan was slightly stunned, then found it made sense. She withdrew her aura and looked at Lu Fan, "This thing belongs to me, no one can take it away! If you want to snatch it, I don't mind taking your head!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "I think it's better not to! Don't think of people too badly. Although the Haotian Tower is very important to me, I won't be so unethical given that you almost lost your life because of it!"
"That's more like it!" Liu Ruyan shrugged slightly. She knew the Haotian Tower was a good thing, otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to obtain it. Su Dan Novel Network
"Let's go! If I'm not mistaken, the Situ family and others are probably already catching up."
Lu Fan got up, ready to leave. Ling'er and Zhao Xue also quickly got up.
Liu Ruyan was slightly stunned, then looked at Lu Fan, "You're not going to leave me here, are you? In this desolate place, and I'm seriously injured and can't move!"
"Saving your life just now was already a favor!"
Lu Fan said directly, "You don't mean you want me to take you with me!"
"Otherwise?"
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, "You're too heartless. Back in Tianshang City, it was me who helped you escape!"
"Let's be clear, when I asked for your help, you took my Haotian Tower!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "Meaning it was a transaction, and you didn't help me at all. I saved your life just now, which was already benevolent, and you still want me to take you with you!"
Liu Ruyan stood frozen, suddenly bewildered. Steward Zhao and the others would likely catch up soon. If she lay here, how could she escape?
"Let's go quickly! If we don't go now, it will be too late!" Ling'er urged.
Lu Fan did not hesitate and was about to turn away.
Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said, "You just want your Haotian Tower back, I'll give it to you!"
After speaking, Liu Ruyan threw the Haotian Tower to Lu Fan, "Take me away, or I will surely die tonight!"
Receiving the Haotian Tower, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, "Since you've returned the Haotian Tower, I naturally can't stand by and watch you die. Don't worry, as long as we are alive, we won't let anything happen to you!"
Liu Ruyan didn't speak, but she was already quite angry. In fact, she knew very well that Lu Fan only wanted the Haotian Tower, which was why he acted this way.
"Let me tell you, I'm seriously injured now. If you take me to the imperial capital, we'll be caught up before long!"
Liu Ruyan said directly, "It's better to change direction and catch them off guard. They think we're going to the imperial capital, but we're deliberately not taking that route!"
"Then where are we going?" Lu Fan frowned, "I need to go to the imperial capital to report the Northwest County Lord and the killing of many heavenly generals in the Heavenly Soldier Mansion!"
"Besides the imperial capital, there are also Royal Cities in the entire Heavenly Realm, and the closest one to us is Nine Royal City!"
Liu Ruyan said directly, "My Tianshang City is under the jurisdiction of Nine Royal City. As long as this matter is reported to the Ninth Prince, he will definitely handle it!"
"Nine Royal City?"
Lu Fan was stunned and hesitated for a moment. After all, this matter was no trivial thing. If he really went to the Royal City, the time to reach the imperial capital would be greatly reduced.
"I also think we should change our route!" Zhao Xue nodded, "They think we are heading to the imperial capital, so they will chase us all the way. By the time they react to our change of direction, they will be caught completely off guard!"
"In that case, let's go to Nine Royal City!" Lu Fan nodded, his eyes becoming even heavier. He knew very well that if the Situ family found out, something bad would happen.
After a while, they changed their direction and headed towards Nine Royal City. Perhaps only then could they temporarily avoid the risk.
Arriving at the foot of Nine Royal City, they felt the imposing aura of the Royal City. Within the entire Royal City, there were many lifelike statues of Heavenly Lords, each representing years.
Upon entering Nine Royal City, everyone discovered that the entire Nine Royal City had internal spaces, and the energy was immense, catching them off guard.
"I really didn't expect that just a Royal City would have so many internal spaces, and most of the people in these spaces are others!"
Ling'er said in surprise, "If we go to the imperial capital, I wonder what it will be like!"
"The imperial capital is naturally much better than this!"
Liu Ruyan said without hesitation. If she hadn't been seriously injured, she would have already been wandering around the city.
"Shall we go to the Royal Mansion now?" Lu Fan asked.
"Not now!" Liu Ruyan shook her head, "It's not easy to see the Ninth Prince. We need to make proper arrangements!"
"So, in the Immortal Realm, there are also so many rules and regulations!" Lu Fan showed a wry smile. It seemed that no matter where one was, some arrangements had to be made for things to go smoothly.
"Of course. If you don't make arrangements, you probably won't even get to see the Ninth Prince, even if I am the City Lord of Tianshang City," Liu Ruyan said with a wry smile.
"In that case, you should rest well. It's up to you next," Lu Fan said directly, "I just don't know if this Ninth Prince can control the Northwest County Lord!"
"You underestimate the Royal City too much!" Liu Ruyan said directly, "As long as the Ninth Prince takes action, even the Northwest County Lord will be scattered into ashes."
"If that's the case, that would be great!" Zhao Xue quickly nodded. She knew very well what the Northwest County Lord had done in the Northwest County, which could be described as lawless. So many heavenly generals in the Heavenly Soldier Mansion had died in the Northwest County Mansion, and she understood this clearly.
After waiting for several days, Liu Ruyan's injuries had mostly healed, and she prepared to go and make arrangements. As soon as she arrived at the Ninth Prince's mansion, she was stopped.
"Please inform him, I want to see General Wen!" Liu Ruyan said.
"General Wen is busy with official duties and also accompanying the Prince hunting. Where would he have time to see you!" the gatekeeper grumbled, "You should leave quickly and don't cause trouble here!"
"I am the City Lord of Tianshang City, and I have important matters to discuss with General Wen!" Liu Ruyan spoke again, her expression becoming more serious.
"Leave quickly, don't talk nonsense here!" Several guards were impolite, their expressions even colder.
Liu Ruyan frowned. Under normal circumstances, the guards of the Prince's mansion should not have such an attitude, which made her unable to understand.
Helplessly, Liu Ruyan had to leave for now, as it was not easy to see the Ninth Prince.
At the same time, within the Ninth Prince's mansion, a man was drinking tea, with another figure sitting beside him, looking quite meaningful, exuding wisps of aura.
