The place where Feng Zhan and the others were at this moment was exactly the destination that Zhao Shuning was heading for.
This was a border area. There were all kinds of people from different places here. In previous years, it had developed quite prosperously.
After the death of the female emperor Ye Ling, there had gradually been more wars in these areas.
Because this place was adjacent to mountains, rivers, and the place these mountains and rivers led to was the Ghost Domain.
It used to be okay, but recently, there had been frequent incidents of giant beasts destroying farmlands. Even some common people's houses had suffered as a result.
Feng Zhan and Ling Sese hadn't even finished their meal when a person who fell from the sky smashed through their table.
Fortunately, Feng Zhan quickly pulled Ling Sese aside, so she wasn't hit.
"What's going on? Does it bother anyone that I'm having a meal?" Feng Zhan muttered while putting down his sleeves.
The fallen person's facial features were oozing blood. Especially his pair of eyes, which seemed about to pop out.
Someone stepped forward and looked at the fallen man. Shaking his head, he said, "Another unlucky guy."
Feng Zhan grabbed the person and asked, "What do you mean by 'another'?"
The person replied, "This is already the fifth man in our Daliang with such a death. Alas, we don't know when those spiritual beasts that should have been cultivating in the mountains actually started coming to our market to look for food."
Ling Sese stepped forward and asked doubtfully, "Spiritual beasts are below demon beasts. Generally, spiritual beasts don't have the consciousness to hurt people. Moreover, they are very afraid of humans living in groups. Running alone to the bustling downtown area at the foot of the mountain is like seeking death, isn't it?"
Just as she finished speaking.
A voice came from outside the inn.
"The little demon that was running around randomly before has been captured and is being sent to the Xuanfu Department."
The man in the inn said, "This is exactly what we find strange. You see, if these little demons encounter individual people alone, they have an advantage. But they run towards our bustling downtown area without caring about their lives, as if there is something even more terrifying on that mountain. Generally speaking, spiritual beasts have some sense, but the spiritual beasts that have appeared in our downtown area recently seem to have gone crazy. They don't care about anything and will eventually die."
"Yes, fortunately, there is the Xuanfu Department. Otherwise, what would we ordinary people do?"
The Xuanfu Department?
Feng Zhan's eyes showed some doubt.
Ling Sese quickly explained.
The Xuanfu Department was an official institution in Daliang. This place was jointly managed by the Wang family and the Lin family. The people in the Xuanfu Department were also from the Wang and Lin families.
Among them, there were three fourth - stage spiritual herbalists and two fourth - grade alchemists.
This lineup was already extremely good in Daliang.
The three spiritual herbalists in the Xuanfu Department were Shen Dai, Chu Ran, and Lu Zhao.
The two alchemists were twin sisters named Qing Man and Qing Luan.
Feng Zhan didn't really care about who was in the Xuanfu Department. But just after Ling Sese finished explaining, the twin sisters appeared at the door of their inn.
Moreover, they walked directly towards Feng Zhan and Ling Sese.
Feng Zhan was okay. He had his back to them and didn't really care about the appearance of others.
The other people in the inn, seeing the appearance of these two women, quickly bowed and greeted, "Greetings to Envoys Qing."
Qing Man and Qing Luan nodded.
Then they looked in the direction of Feng Zhan and Ling Sese.
They walked over and patted Feng Zhan on the back and said, "Excuse me, sir and the young lady opposite, please come to the Xuanfu Department with us."
Feng Zhan smiled and said, "Why?"
"Your faces are quite unfamiliar in Daliang. We want to take you back to the Xuanfu Department for interrogation."
Feng Zhan didn't turn around and continued, "What? People who aren't from Daliang can't appear in Daliang?"
"That's not it. But the two of you are really strange. A person fell from the sky and smashed your table. Instead of being frightened and leaving immediately, you even stayed there drinking tea?"
"Do I bothering you two by having such leisure?"
In Feng Zhan's hand, the boneless fan kept spinning as if it were alive.
Qing Man and Qing Luan had never seen a person dressed like this.
Moreover, this person's character didn't seem like that of an ordinary person.
"Sir doesn't want to?"
"Yes."
Feng Zhan took a sip of tea lightly. Then, from Sese's expression, he could tell that the two people behind him were about to attack him.
Feng Zhan gently kicked the broken wooden table with his toe. His body and the chair quickly retreated backward.
Qing Man and Qing Luan missed their target and quickly started using their spiritual power to summon magical tools.
Those magical tools had already caused quite a stir in the inn, but the man opposite didn't show the slightest reaction.
Feng Zhan looked up.
His perfectly handsome, almost demonic face appeared in front of Qing Man and Qing Luan.
Both girls were stunned.
Feng Zhan gave a charming smile, and the boneless fan in his hand had already flown out.
By the time Qing Man and Qing Luan came to their senses, the man was already in front of them, and the two blades under the boneless fan were already on their tender, white necks.
"Whoa—"
Everyone in the inn was stunned on the spot. They even forgot to move.
This kid actually dared to attack Envoys Qing. Did he really want to go to the Xuanfu Department?
Inside the Xuanfu Department, there were probably countless skeletons. This kid really thought his life was too long. Even if he wasn't afraid of the two Envoys Qing, wasn't he afraid of the Wang and Lin families behind the Xuanfu Department?
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Feng Zhan really looked annoying.
He replied disdainfully, "My Feng family is least afraid of threats, and I, Feng Zhan, most dislike being threatened."
Although this wasn't his own world and he didn't understand the spiritual power and mental power of these people.
However, no one could suppress or bully the people of his Feng family wherever they went.
"We sisters just want to invite sir to the Xuanfu Department for a visit. We have no other intentions."
"Is this how you of the Xuanfu Department invite people? I'm really broadened my horizons."
The Qing sisters glanced at each other and knew that they had offended an extraordinary person. Otherwise, why was their mental power and the magical tools summoned with spiritual power useless against this sir?
So the next moment, the Qing sisters clasped their fists and knelt on one knee together.
"We were blind and offended sir. Please, sir and miss, come with us to the Xuanfu Department."
"Why should I go?"
"Sir is not an ordinary person. Recently, our Daliang has been frequently attacked by the beast world. Sir is a hermit expert and must have a compassionate heart. Please go to the Xuanfu Department with us to discuss countermeasures."
Feng Zhan looked at the gazes of everyone.
Then he took back the boneless fan.
He sat back in his seat and continued to drink tea.
"Sir, please come with us to the Xuanfu Department."
"I'm afraid not. I'm a very evil person. I don't have this thing called compassion."
