Peerless War God

He even closed the Tang Mansion's main gate with the back of his hand.    

He stood in front of the Tang Mansion's main entrance and looked to the sides. After confirming that no one had noticed him, he leisurely strolled down the street.    

Wandering around was not his goal. Chen Xiao's real purpose was to see the local customs and customs in the city, as well as the other defensive formations that might be installed in the city.    

Under Chen Xiao's rule, the Cold Stone City had become very lively. Most of the local customs and practices had changed. Only Stormwind City remained as it was.    

Since Chen Xiao planned to end this with Stormwind, it would be best for him to first thoroughly understand the other party's intentions.    

After strolling around for a while, Chen Xiao didn't have much experience with local customs. However, he found that there were indeed a few hidden buildings in the city that acted as the eye of the formation.    

Those buildings usually looked ordinary, and there were even some buildings that had shops and stuff like that. But if something really happened and someone was controlling the array, then these buildings would immediately act as the eye of the array, maintaining the array's operation.    

After walking down the road near the center of the city, Chen Xiao discovered a total of eight buildings that acted as the foundation of the formation array.    

It was a pity that these array bases were either in a very conspicuous position or were used as shops. Chen Xiao couldn't help but try to change the array without anyone noticing.    

Although Chen Xiao had no choice but to give up on the idea of tampering with the array, he did not gain anything. At the very least, he understood what type of array they were.    

Of course, that was also because the techniques of the people who laid down the formation were too low-leveled. Many of the formation patterns were only engraved on the surface, and with a bit of a glance, one could roughly guess what the use of the formation was with a bit of a glance.    

After looking through eight of them and getting to the bottom of it, there was no need to continue looking at the rest. With Chen Xiao's status, it wasn't appropriate to continue staying here, so he turned around and walked out of the city.    

Everything went smoothly. There wasn't a single obstacle along the way. They easily stepped out of the city and returned to the yellow sand that filled the sky.    

On the way east, Chen Xiao's figure gradually disappeared into the yellow sand.    

… ….    

Another ten days later!    

Cold Rock City!    

During these ten days, the entire Cold Rock City had been in a state of internal tension, and any unforeseen circumstances could directly attract the city guards to go over and investigate. If they were to cause any big trouble, they would be directly arrested, and only after they had investigated thoroughly about their origins would they be able to release them.    

If he was unable to investigate the background of the other party, he would be embarrassed. He would directly seal his magic power and capture a Soul-Digging Stone from the Blackstone Forest. When would he be able to leave Frost Stone City after excavating for a hundred thousand Soulstones?    

When Chen Xiao returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Charm and the others were sitting in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion discussing matters. Tang Yuan was also there, but his mana was still sealed.    

When the group of people saw Chen Xiao, they hurriedly and excitedly came over to greet him. Only Tang Yuan frowned slightly. His expression did not look good.    

But in the end, Tang Yuan still quickly walked over and didn't greet him like the others did. Instead, he straightforwardly asked, "Where is my family?"    

Chen Xiao knew that the other party was worried about his family, so he didn't bother with them. He turned around and found an empty space. He waved his hand and a few figures appeared in the open space.    

After around twenty people had arrived, Chen Xiao retracted his hand and looked at Tang Yuan with a smile.    

At this moment, Tang Yuan had already widened his eyes. He knew that Chen Xiao was looking at him, so he reacted and quickly took two steps forward. He cupped his hands towards Chen Xiao and said, "Thank you, City Lord. From today onwards, Tang Yuan will definitely be loyal to the City Lord."    

Then, only when Chen Xiao nodded, did he quickly turn around and walk towards the group of people who were still confused and disoriented.    

Those people had finally managed to stabilize themselves when they saw Tang Yuan striding towards them with an excited expression on his face. Joy also appeared on their faces.    

One of the women and two children even flew out.    

The two children simultaneously hugged Tang Yuan's legs and called out for their father while the woman grabbed Tang Yuan's arm, saying something in a low voice.    

Tang Yuan, on the other hand, continued to gently pat the woman's back, signalling her not to be nervous.    

After a long while, she held the woman's hand and walked in front of Chen Xiao with the two children. She clasped her hands at Chen Xiao and said, "City lord, this is my wife, and they are my children!" I was sent by the City Lord of Stormwind to spy on us and was captured by the Lord. But the Lord did not blame us, and instead let us go, so I am determined to serve the Lord. From today onwards, Freezing Stone City is our home, do you understand? "    

"Yes sir!" The woman nodded and pulled the two children along as she bowed to Chen Xiao, "My daughter, Meng Shujun, greets the City Lord!"    

"No need to be so polite!"    

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded. He then turned around to look at the group of people who were still looking in his direction but didn't dare to come over.    

Tang Yuan instantly understood and hurriedly explained, "Lord, these are my servants and relatives that have come to seek refuge with me!"    

What he meant was that some of them weren't very close with each other. He just didn't expect Chen Xiao to bring them all over.    

Before Chen Xiao could nod, Tang Yuan suddenly turned around and walked out of the crowd.    

Before he left, he suddenly whispered something into his wife's ear. It was obvious that her brows wrinkled, and she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she endured it and watched Tang Yuan walk to the front of the crowd.    

Then, Tang Yuan started to explain the situation in the crowd.    

While they were talking, without anyone noticing, Meng Shujun suddenly pulled the two children close to her and covered their eyes with her hands.    

Almost at the same time, a black dagger appeared in Tang Yuan's hand.    

The moment the dagger appeared, it suddenly turned into an afterimage, flashing with a cold light in the crowd.    

Accompanied by a plopping sound, in a short instant, three figures fell to the ground while clutching their throats.    

After getting rid of three people, the afterimages that filled the sky disappeared. Tang Yuan's figure also reappeared and he slowly walked towards Chen Xiao with a dagger in his hand.    

This sudden turn of events caused the expressions of the people around them to change. Especially the charming one, she suddenly stood in front of Chen Xiao and angrily rebuked: "Tang Yuan, what are you trying to do?"
