The young lord and vice lord of Yunmeng City had both died by his hand. It was unknown who would come from Yunmeng City this time.
"Continue, which other forces are here from Tianchu Province?" Ling Fan asked.
The owner of Tianxin Tower quickly replied, "From Tianchu Province, the three strongest forces are the Governor's Mansion of Tianchu Province, which is the official ruler of Tianchu Province, holding all the power. The over a dozen cities under Tianchu Province are all under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion."
"Anyone who can suppress a province is naturally not a minor figure. Our Governor is a Grandmaster of Tianyuan Realm with unparalleled martial arts!"
"However, Grandmaster level experts cannot enter Star Sand Lake. This Governor will likely not come in person, and he also needs to guard Tianchu City, so he won't move easily."
"Besides them, there are two other major forces."
"The two outer sects, Miyun Mountain and Seven Star Cave, located within the territory of Tianchu Province."
"Don't underestimate these two sects; their strength is enough to contend with the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion can do nothing about them!"
"These two forces also have Grandmasters stationed, which is why they dare to challenge the Governor's Mansion."
"The other three forces are the top martial arts families in Tianchu Province: the Nong family, the Ding family, and the Jiang family."
"The strength of these three families is only slightly inferior to the Governor's Mansion, Miyun Mountain, and Seven Star Cave. Their families are either guarded by quasi-Tianyuan realm experts or peak Xuan-gang realm experts, so their strength should not be underestimated."
Ling Fan asked some more questions and then waved his hand, dismissing the胖老板 (fat boss) of Tianxin Tower.
"Young Master Ling, I shall not disturb your rest. Please feel free to command me if you need anything!"
...
The night passed without incident.
Time quickly moved to the next day.
This was the central area of Star Sand City, but there were no buildings, only emptiness.
In the center, a shifting sand area covering about several hundred mu was constantly in motion.
Countless sands collapsed and flowed towards the center, in a perpetual cycle.
Above the quicksand, wind and sand filled the air. Although the winds seemed weak, they were actually sharp gales comparable to the full force of a peak Xuan-gang realm expert's attack!
This was why martial artists could not force their way in, and could only wait for the power of Star Sand Lake to weaken before entering.
By this time, quite a few people had gathered by the sand lake, in small groups, each forming their own camps.
The Liu family, Qiao family, Ma family, Miao family, Deng family of Star Sand City...
The Xiong family of the City Lord's Mansion, whose spots had been taken by Ling Fan, had also arrived.
Conversely, the Fei family did not appear.
It was clear that after the City Lord's Mansion lost its spots, they found a way to snatch the two spots from the Fei family.
It was estimated that the Fei family members were already crying themselves to sleep at home.
They had been lackeys for the City Lord's Mansion for decades, yet they gained no benefits, and instead were taken advantage of. Who could they reason with?
Not long after the experts and prodigies from the major forces of Star Sand City arrived.
Soon, powerful and unparalleled auras descended.
Yun Wanshan, the City Lord of Yunmeng City, personally arrived with the new young lord of Yunmeng City, Yun Hui.
The aura emanating from Yun Wanshan was surging and powerful, not at all weaker than Xiong Kuang, the City Lord of Star Sand City, and even surpassed him. Although he had not yet reached the peak of the Xuan-gang realm, he was only a hair's breadth away.
As for the new young lord Yun Hui, he was exuding an aura of the Xuan-gang realm. Although it was still somewhat unstable, it was a genuine Xuan-gang realm!
All the experts and prodigies of Star Sand City were shocked.
Was this the foundation of Yunmeng City, ranked first among the five cities?
They had actually produced a Xuan-gang realm prodigy in his early twenties!
On the side of the Liu family, Liu Xiwei's beautiful eyes showed a hint of admiration.
From Daze City, although the City Lord did not personally attend, they had sent Yan Hong, a vice city lord in the late Xuan-gang realm, to escort the young lord Yan Jun.
Compared to Yun Hui, Yan Jun was slightly inferior, but his aura was also strong, clearly not far from the Xuan-gang realm.
After the appearance of Yunmeng City and Daze City.
The forces from Tianchu Province finally arrived.
The Nong family, Ding family, and Jiang family arrived together.
Three terrifying Xuan-gang realm experts, accompanied by three exceptionally outstanding young prodigies, appeared in everyone's sight.
Nong Chengji, the elder of the Nong family, peak Xuan-gang realm!
Nong Hexuan, the top prodigy of the Nong family, peak Qi Refining realm.
From the Ding family, an elder-level expert also arrived, Ding Kinan, peak late Xuan-gang realm.
The prodigy who arrived was Ding Shijie, the direct descendant of the Ding family, whose strength was also at the peak of the Qi Refining realm. However, his cultivation was solid and stable, clearly incomparable to those Qi Refining realm peak cultivators who had their resources forcibly increased.
From the Jiang family, another peak Xuan-gang realm expert arrived, Jiang Shiqing, the elder of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yang, the top prodigy of the Jiang family, had a strength comparable to Ding Shijie and Nong Hexuan.
These three prodigies were not unable to break through to the Xuan-gang realm, but rather wanted to continuously temper their foundations, accumulate strength, and then break through to the Xuan-gang realm in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for future breakthroughs to higher realms.
The arrival of these City Lord-level experts and the prodigies they brought with them greatly shocked the people of Star Sand City.
Liu Xiwei's eyes could barely take it all in.
Especially the three prodigies, Jiang Yang, Ding Shijie, and Nong Hexuan, they were dignified, handsome, and elegant, with outstanding demeanor, appearance, and physique, all of the highest caliber.
They exuded the outstanding bearing of the young masters from the top martial arts families of Tianchu Province.
These three families were all guarded by quasi-Grandmasters or at least peak Xuan-gang realm Grandmasters!
Compared to these three prodigies, Liu Xiwei felt that Ling Fan was like a foul-smelling piece of dog excrement, incomparable!
In terms of strength, presence, emotional intelligence, and background, in what aspect could Ling Fan compare to these top young masters!
Furthermore, Ling Fan was so arrogant and rude!
What was he?
The experts exchanged pleasantries and greetings, and then each occupied a region to wait.
Not long after, the calm was soon broken.
Three experts with extremely powerful auras arrived successively.
Along with their arrival came three young talents who were even more outstanding and eye-catching than Jiang Yang, Ding Shijie, and Nong Hexuan.
An elder of Seven Star Cave from Tianchu Province, peak Xuan-gang realm.
Fan Hanlin, the true disciple of Seven Star Cave, early Xuan-gang realm.
As soon as these two arrived, the experts of Star Sand City, led by Xiong Kuang, quickly bowed and saluted. These were truly important figures who ranked among the best in the entire Tianchu Province!
Seven Star Cave was comparable to the Governor's Mansion, and was a level stronger than the Nong, Ding, and Jiang families. The cave had martial arts Grandmasters guarding it.
They could be considered one of the giants of Tianchu Province!
However, in the face of their overtures, the elder of Seven Star Cave and the true disciple Fan Hanlin were haughty and ignored them.
