Liu Ruyan was slightly taken aback, then found his words sensible. She withdrew her aura and looked at Lu Fan, "This item 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 we should forget it! Don't think too badly of people. Although the Haotian Tower is very important to me, I won't be so heartless since 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 get it. Su Dan Novel Network
"Let's go! If I'm not mistaken, Situ family and others must be chasing us."
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 won't leave me here, will you? This is a desolate mountain, and I'm seriously injured, I can't move at all!"
"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, do you!"
"What else?"
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, "You are 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 and said, "Meaning, it was a transaction, and you didn't help me at all. I saved your life just now, which was already a benevolent act, and you still want me to take you!"
Liu Ruyan stood frozen, instantly feeling lost. 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 turned to leave.
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, otherwise I will die tonight!"
Receiving the Haotian Tower, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, "Since you have returned the Haotian Tower, I naturally cannot 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 remained silent but was already furious. In fact, she knew very well that Lu Fan only wanted the Haotian Tower, which was why he acted this way.
"I'm telling you, I'm seriously injured now. If you take me to the Imperial City, we will be caught up soon!"
Liu Ruyan said directly, "It's better to change direction and catch them off guard. They think we're going to the Imperial City, but we're deliberately not taking that route!"
"Then where do we go?" Lu Fan frowned, "I need to go to the Imperial City to report the Northwest Prefecture Lord and the many Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Soldier Mansion!"
"Besides the Imperial City, there are also Royal Cities in the entire Heavenly Realm, and the closest one to us is Jiuhuang City!"
Liu Ruyan said directly, "My Tianshang City is under the jurisdiction of Jiuhuang City. If this matter is reported to the Ninth Prince, he will definitely handle it!"
"Jiuhuang City?"
Lu Fan was stunned and hesitated. After all, this matter was not trivial. If he really went to the Royal City, the time to reach the Imperial City would be greatly reduced.
"I also think we should change our route!" Zhao Xue nodded, "They think we are going to the Imperial City, so they will chase us all the way. By the time they react to our change of direction, it will be too late!"
"In that case, let's go to Jiuhuang City!" Lu Fan nodded, his eyes becoming even heavier. He knew very well that if he were discovered by Situ's family, bad things would happen.
Not long after, they changed direction and headed towards Jiuhuang City. Perhaps only then could they temporarily avoid the risk.
Upon arriving at the foot of Jiuhuang City, they felt the imposing aura of the Royal City. Within the entire Royal City, there were statues of many Heavenly Lords, which looked lifelike, each representing a year.
Entering Jiuhuang City, everyone discovered that the entire Jiuhuang City had internal spaces with immense energy, which caught them off guard.
"I never expected 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 City, I wonder what it will be like!"
"The Imperial City 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, you have to make proper arrangements!"
"So, in the Immortal Realm, there are also so many rules and regulations!" Lu Fan showed a bitter smile, realizing that no matter where you were, you had to make arrangements 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 bitter 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 Prefecture Lord!"
"You underestimate the Royal City too much!" Liu Ruyan said directly, "As long as the Ninth Prince takes action, even the Northwest Prefecture Lord will be annihilated."
"If that's the case, then it would be great!" Zhao Xue quickly nodded. She knew very well that the Northwest Prefecture Lord's actions in the Northwest Prefecture were lawless. So many Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Soldier Mansion had died in the Northwest Prefecture Mansion, which she understood clearly.
After a few days of waiting, Liu Ruyan's injuries had largely healed, and she prepared to make arrangements. As soon as she arrived at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she was stopped.
"Please inform me, I want to see General Wen!" Liu Ruyan said.
"General Wen is busy with official duties and has to accompany the Prince hunting, so he has no 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 and stop talking nonsense!" Several guards were impolite, their eyes even colder.
Liu Ruyan frowned. Under normal circumstances, the guards of the Royal Mansion should not have this attitude, which puzzled her greatly.
Helplessly, Liu Ruyan had to leave for now, as seeing the Ninth Prince was not an easy task.
At the same time, inside the Ninth Prince's Mansion, a man was drinking tea, with another figure sitting beside him, looking meaningful, exuding wisps of aura.
