Hua Ming Gong nodded and said: "I'll send someone to investigate right now, I must find out the identity of that mysterious boy who can control spatial power."

  Hua Ming Gong glanced at Hua Qing Shan again, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

  For this only child, Huaming Gong was still very satisfied, not only with a high talent, but also with extraordinary intelligence, and the only shortcoming was that his personality was somewhat rebellious.

  But whoever is against heaven and has talent, which one does not betray?

  In the black market, if one is not rebellious and ruthless enough, they can't become a true big shot.

  "Now, he's not even thirty years old, yet his name has spread throughout the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge, and among the younger generation, he is absolutely a top-notch figure. With just a bit more time, his martial arts cultivation will surely enter the Heavenly Extreme Realm, becoming a legend in the world of martial arts."

  Hua Ming Gong's expression turned solemn, and he said: "We must speed up the search for Yun Chen Jun Zhu and that mysterious young man. If we can't find them within three days, we'll have to leave Di Huo City and return to Wang Cheng to make further plans."

  Hua Qing Shan snorted coldly and said, "With the Red Spider Giant Ship, even if the masters of Qian Shui Prefecture, Wu Shi Academy, and Yun Wu Prefecture rush to Di Huo City, what is there to fear?"

  "The black market is called the black market because we hide in the dark, so Wushicheng and official forces can't do anything to us. But now that Dihuocheng has been exposed, it will definitely become a target of attack for all parties, and with Qianshui Prefecture involved, even if we have the Red Spider Giant Ship, we absolutely cannot withstand it."

  Although Hua Qing Shan was arrogant, he also knew his limits. He nodded and said, "Alright, within three days, no matter the cost, I will find them. If I can't find them, I'll have to return to Wang City first."

  Huaming said, "The royal city is the real place that decides victory or defeat. Whether it's the Wushang Academy or the Baitou Demon Sect, the top masters have almost all gathered there. As long as we return to the royal city, the Baitou Demon Sect will naturally help us share the pressure."

  Three days later, the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild dispatched all warriors to search for Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen in the Earth Fire City with all their might, but they found nothing.

  On the other hand, news came that Yunwu County King sent Wang Chong, the number one military figure, to lead 800,000 troops to rush to Dihuocheng, with a strong intention to destroy Dihuocheng.

  The number one master of the Wu Shi Xue Gong, Si Hang Kong, has received orders from the elder of the Xue Gong and is carrying the Half Sacred Blood Book as he leaves the Tian Mo Wu City and arrives at the Yun Wu Jun national border, with his spearhead pointing directly at the Di Huo City.

  Saihang Kong is a high-ranking expert on the Earth List, ranking first in combat power among the younger generation of the 36 states and counties of Tianmo Ridge. He has killed strong people in the Heavenly Boundary Realm before, and now he also carries the Half-Saint Blood Book, which seems to be specially used to suppress the Red Spider Giant Ship.

  The seventh prince of Yunwu County, Zhang Tianguai, although known as the number one genius among the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge, was still too young and had a gap in strength compared to Si Hangkong.

  At the same time, two martial arts legends at the Tianji boundary from Qianshui Prefecture also brought their ninth-grade true martial treasure and rushed to Dihu City.

  Under the intimidation of various forces, Hua Ming Gong and Hua Qing Shan had no choice but to board the Red Spider Giant Ship and escape from Di Huo City.

  In the forest, a team of warriors wearing armor rode horses with bells to the shores of Hidden Mist Lake.

  In winter, the leaves have long since fallen off, and birds are nowhere to be seen. All that can be heard is the heavy sound of horseshoes ringing out one after another.

  Wan Cheng rode a scaled beast over ten meters high, wearing a red battle armor, gazing at the white misty lake surface, with eyes that seemed to hold hidden lightning, giving off an intimidating aura.

  "Great General, the Red Spider giant ship has sailed out of Hidden Mist Lake. It seems that Lord Hua wants to escape. Shall we pursue?" a spirited general said.

  Wan Cheng shook his head and said, "Hua Ming Gong is driving the Red Spider Giant Ship. If he wants to escape, we can't stop him. Of course, it's not easy for him to escape either. The strong men from Wu Shi Xue Gong and Qian Shui Jun Guo have already gone to deal with him."

  "What is our purpose in coming to this Fire City?" asked one of the soldiers.

  "Wan Cheng said, 'Since Hua Ming Gong has escaped, the other black market forces should also escape from Di Huo City. Our mission is to capture all the evil people in the black market of Di Huo City and not let one go. Only then can we give an account to the Duke on behalf of Qian Shui State. Otherwise, the dignified Smoke Dust State Master was actually captured by the black market in the territory of Yun Wu State. This responsibility, our Yun Wu State cannot bear.'"

  "So it was."

  Wan Cheng's expression was solemn as he said, "Now we can only hope that the Lord of Yanchen is safe and sound. If not, the consequences are unthinkable."

  "The County Master of Yun Chen has already been rescued by someone," said one of the generals.

  Wan Cheng glared at him and said, "Who else has seen with their own eyes that only by finding the Smoke Dust County Master can we confirm she's truly out of danger."

  Rumbling

  A general who had reached the Xuanji boundary, riding a bell horse, stopped ten zhang away. He jumped down from the back of the bell horse and came to the front of Wanchengzhong, kneeling on one knee, saying: "Report to the Grand Commander, the Seventh Prince has arrived."

  "His Highness Prince Seven"

  Wan Cheng's eyes slightly condensed and he said, "Isn't the Seventh Prince in closed-door cultivation at the Cloud Platform Sect? How did he suddenly appear here? Where is he now?"

  "Lingyue Town." The officer said.

  "Leave this to you, but if any of the Dark People from Black Market City escape from Hidden Mist Lake, kill them without exception." Wan Cheng's face was somewhat solemn, unable to guess the reason for the Seventh Prince's sudden return, but he had to rush to welcome him.

  Wan Cheng returned to Lingyue Town and soon saw the Seventh Prince.

  The Seventh Prince Zhang Tianguai stood at the town entrance with his hands behind his back, looking to be in his early twenties, wearing a purple brocade robe, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and an elegant demeanor.

  Although it was just an accidental stop, it gave people a strong sense of oppression.

  The soldiers around him could not withstand the aura on his body and all knelt down to the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

  "It's no wonder he's the number one genius of Tianmo Ridge's 36 counties, I can even feel a bit of pressure from him. In just a few years, he's already reached such heights." Wancheng Chong gazed at Zhang Tianguo from afar, walked over, slightly cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "Greetings to the Seventh Prince."

  Zhang Tianguai immediately went forward to welcome him, holding onto Wang Cheng's hands and said with a warm smile: "Uncle Wang, you are a legendary martial artist of the Tianji realm and also father's sworn brother. If you were to bow to me and return to the imperial city, father would definitely not forgive me."

  Wan Cheng stood up straight again, looked at Zhang Tian Gui once more, but found that Zhang Tian Gui was already standing ten steps away. He was slightly startled in his heart and said: "With the current martial arts cultivation of the Seventh Prince, I'm afraid he can already enter the Earth List."

  The strong on the earth list, each of them has the strength to rival the legendary martial arts of Tianji. It's worth noting that Zhang Tianguang is only in his early twenties now, and if he can enter the earth list at such a young age, it would be shocking news.

  Zhang Tianguang smiled and said: "Indeed, it has already entered the ground list, but compared to Uncle Wan, there is still a gap."

  "Why has Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, come to Lingyue Town?" asked Wan Cheng with a serious expression.

  Zhang Tianguai said, "I heard that Ninth Brother's fiancée was captured by the evil people of the black market in Lingyue Town and imprisoned in the Earth Fire City. I was very worried, so I immediately left the pass and prepared to help Ninth Brother with all my might to rescue his fiancée. When I arrived at Lingyue Town, I heard that the Smoke Dust County Master had already been rescued by someone else, what a great fortune."

  "These black market evil people are really too arrogant, within the borders of Yunwu County, they actually dare to imprison a prince's fiancée, it's simply lawless. If we don't teach them a lesson, where is the dignity of the royal family? This time, you'll have to work hard, Uncle Wan, and definitely capture all those evil martial artists in Dihuo City, to avenge Ninth Brother. If there's anywhere that needs me, I'm at your disposal, Uncle Wan."

  Wan Cheng was very clear that the relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince was not good, so how could the Seventh Prince possibly go out of his way to save Yun Chen Jun Zhu?

  Suddenly, Zhang Tianguang said again: "Next month is the grand ceremony of sacrifice and worship. It's said that Father King intends to appoint a crown prince during the ceremony. Wan Shu, have you heard about this?"

  Wan Cheng's heart skipped a beat, it turned out that he had returned to Yunwu County for the sake of his son's title.

  A top-notch genius like Zhang Tianguang will absolutely not stay in a mere Yunwu County in the future.

  However, the title of the Crown Prince of Yunwu State was very important, because the Crown Prince could inherit the royal title of Yunwu State.

  Whether they are lower-ranking kings, middle-ranking kings, or even higher-ranking kings, their royal status can only be conferred by the first Central Imperial Empress Chi Yao.

  Once you have a noble title, there will be many benefits in the future. In terms of martial arts training, it will also bring many conveniences.

  So, what Zhang Tianguang cares about is the title of Wang Jue, rather than the position of Yunwu County King.

  If it were in the past, the Crown Prince of Yunwu Prefecture would have been Zhang Tiangu.

  But now a ninth prince has emerged, Zhang Ruochen, and Zhang Ruochen also has the support of Qian Shui Prefecture. It's hard to say who will ultimately get the position of crown prince.

  Zhang Tianguai rushed to Huo City so hastily, really came to rescue Yanyin County Master.

  Obviously not.

  If Wan Chengzhong hadn't guessed wrong, Zhang Tianguang actually came to kill Yanyincheng Junzhu.

  As soon as the Lord of Smoke Dust dies, Zhang Ruochen will naturally not get the support of the Thousand Waters State, and at that time, what can Zhang Ruochen use to compete with him for the position of heir?

  "The king of the county wants to appoint a crown prince, I haven't heard anything about it." Wan Cheng shook his head and said: "The Black Market, Baiyue Demon Sect, and Wushi Academy in Yunwu County have caused chaos throughout the country, the king's energy is all spent on this matter, he shouldn't be thinking of appointing a crown prince at this time."

  "I was just casually asking, why is Uncle Wan so nervous"

  Zhang Tianguang smiled and said: "Since the Smoke Dust County Master has been rescued, I don't know where she is now, whether she is safe or not."

  "Not very clear, should still be trapped in the Fire City." Wan Cheng said heavily.

  Zhang Tianguang's eyes flashed with a hint of strange light, and the corner of his mouth curled up as he smiled: "In that case, I'll have to go to Di Huo City myself. Don't let anything unexpected happen. Uncle Wan, I'm taking my leave first."

  Zhang Tianguang bowed to the Wan City Lord, then left Lingyue Town with two junior brothers from the Cloud Platform Sect, heading in the direction of Hidden Mist Lake.
