Chapter 154 Jinling Mansion

The sun sets and the sunset glows brilliantly in the sky.

The Jinling City was seen lying on the bank of the Nulong River like a giant beast. The tall city wall seemed to be at least ten feet high. It was impossible to jump over it if one was not good at lightness skills.

Its grandeur and prosperity are even greater than that of Guangling Prefecture City.

From a distance, you can see cargo ships on the Nulong River slowly sailing down the river into the docks in the city.

This thousand-year-old city still maintains its vitality.

At the city gate, every traveler, whether a merchant or a martial artist wielding a sword, would line up obediently and allow the guards at the gate to check their identities.

At this moment, a small dot suddenly appeared on the horizon, followed by a loud eagle cry.

In an instant, all the pedestrians and soldiers at the city gate raised their heads, and the rows of elite soldiers in armor on the top of the city were also waiting attentively.

The crossbow was immediately strung, and arrows flashing with cold light were ready to fly out at any time.

In less than three breaths, more than a thousand arrows were pointing at the black spot in the sky.

The leading silver-armored general in the Awakening Realm also raised his head, staring straight at the black spot, with the flare in his hand ready to shoot into the air at any time.

The black spot slowly grew larger and flew closer, allowing everyone to see clearly that it was a giant eagle.

When the Iron-Winged Cloud Eagle was only two miles away from Jinling City, it began to gradually slow down and descend in altitude.

This allowed the silver-armored general on the top of the city wall to clearly see the old man and four young men standing on his back.

After seeing the appearance of the old man in the lead, the silver-armored general breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to him.

"Nothing, it's Grandmaster Mo who wants to enter the city."

Instantly, the other soldiers also relaxed and began to talk among themselves as they looked at the giant eagle in the sky, no longer as solemn as before.

"call--

I was really shocked. Luo Zhizhou was attacked in his mansion just now. Fortunately, it was Grandmaster Mo who attacked him this time, not the thieves from Black Water Abyss. It really gave me a shock."

"I heard that most of Lord Luo's residence was reduced to ruins. This Black Water Abyss is really damnable. This commotion has caused panic in the city!"

While on the eagle's back, Fang Xun saw the fully armed soldiers on the top of the city and frowned.

"Old man, what's going on? I feel like the atmosphere in Jinling City is not right."

Old Man Mo was also stunned for a moment: "Something is wrong. Normally, there are not so many elite soldiers standing on the top of the city. As soon as they saw us, they strung their bows and crossbows. I don't know what's going on."

As they were talking, the Iron-winged Cloud Eagle also flew over the top of the city wall. Fang Xun saw that the city was actually deserted. There were only teams of soldiers, yamen runners, and Six Gates guards walking around on the streets, as if they were searching for something.

"It looks like something really big happened here!"

As it went deeper into the city, the Iron-Winged Cloud Eagle flew to an area full of pavilions and towers.

The gardens and mansions below all belonged to the rich or noble, but one of them was in a very dilapidated state.

Most of the houses in the area collapsed, rubble covered the ground, and a group of officials were collecting corpses.

When Old Man Mo saw this, his expression changed: "Isn't this Luo Kang's residence? I haven't seen him for just two days, how come it has become like this?"

"Luo Kang?!"

Fang Xun, Dongfang Que and Yan Ming were extremely shocked when they heard this.

Luo Kang, a prefect of the third rank, was a senior administrative official in charge of the civil and military affairs of Jiangzhou. He was also a renowned master warrior.

Judging from the situation, it seems that his house had just been attacked.

"He must be a powerful master from the Black Water Abyss, but why would he openly attack Luo Kang's residence?"

"The murderer is really crazy. Jinling Prefecture is full of experts, and there are two masters in the government. They attacked the prefect's residence in broad daylight. Aren't they afraid of losing their lives here?"

Several people frowned and thought hard, but they couldn't get the point.

At this moment, the Iron-Winged Cloud Eagle suddenly landed and flew into a garden in the city. Soon, it landed steadily in the center of a wide square.

The four of them jumped off his back one by one, and Fang Xun and the other two were still thinking about what they had just seen.

Old Man Mo calmed down and said, "We'll know about this soon. Come and see if you are satisfied with this house first."

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, and Dongfang Que and Yan Ming's expressions also changed.

They immediately took a look around and found that the yard they were in alone was a spacious training square, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people for martial arts practice.

After taking a look around, Fang Xun asked in astonishment, "Uh, is this house a gift to me?"

Although he had only taken a few cursory glances from high in the air before, he could tell that this garden mansion probably covered no less than a hundred acres.

In his previous life, the three largest gardens in Jiangnan were the Humble Administrator's Garden with an area of ​​79.5 acres, the Lingering Garden with an area of ​​34.5 acres, and the Lion Grove with an area of ​​only 16.5 acres.

If Fang Xun were to sell the garden mansion where he was currently staying, the minimum guaranteed amount would be 100,000 taels of gold.

Old Man Mo smiled and said, "This house was also bought by a guest in the film market in the past. He offered all his belongings to me for help. Although he was in a difficult situation at the time, this house was still worth some money as an ancestral property. I accepted it and helped him once.

Although I don't live in this house all the time, I have hired people to take care of it, so it has not been abandoned. It is just right for your Four Forms Hall headquarters."

Fang Xun shook his head and said, "No merit, no reward. If it was just a small courtyard, it would be fine, but this house is too valuable. I can't take it for nothing."

As he spoke, he took out the "Heavenly Star Washing Veins Method" that Jian Wuyi had given him and handed it directly to Old Man Mo. Usually he loved to take advantage of Old Man Mo, but this garden was different.

Old Man Mo is a master of divine will. As long as he wants, gold, silver and wealth are at his fingertips.

He may not care much about this garden where he seldom lives, but Fang Xun cannot help but care about it.

"Consider this superior method of awakening the mind as an exchange."

Old Man Mo was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately laughed and took the secret book.

"Okay, I like people like you who have principles, so I'll accept this book on enlightenment."

"Yan Ming, Fang Man, you go down and settle Bai Wufeng first, I will come back to treat him later.

Come on, old man, take me around the garden."

After instructing Dongfang Que and Yan Ming, Fang Xun started to walk around the garden under the guidance of Old Man Mo.

This garden is built on a small hill and is already within the Corridor Mountain Range.

This place is located in the east of Jinling City. The people who live here are either rich or noble. All the mansions are like this, and gardens are built along the mountains.

The garden is filled with palaces, corridors, towers and pavilions, as well as quiet and elegant natural landscapes, which embody an indescribable luxury.

Fang Xun followed Old Man Mo around but didn't meet anyone.

According to Old Man Mo, the hired staff will only come to clean the house once every five days.

Although this mansion has been uninhabited for a long time, it does not appear dirty or messy. Once the people from Sixingtang arrive, they can move in immediately with their bags.

After wandering around for a while, the two finally came to a courtyard deep inside.

I saw an artificial lake carved out in the courtyard, with corridors, attics, pavilions, waterside terraces, rippling water, flowers and green willows, and every scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

There is also a large attic in the courtyard, which can easily accommodate fifty people, and now it has become the residence of Fang Xun and others.

Just when he was about to go see Bai Wufeng, a figure suddenly appeared in the yard, hurriedly walked up to Old Man Mo and spoke respectfully.

"Master, I knew you were here when I saw the Iron-winged Cloud Eagle."

This is a middle-aged man with a round face. He is plump and dressed in bright clothes, like a businessman. His amiable face hides a shrewdness.

He had a deep aura, and Fang Xun could tell at a glance that this person was a master who was as powerful as himself.

"The ultimate state of enlightenment?"

His current strength has been further improved after his promotion to the awakening stage, and is no longer inferior to the ultimate awakening stage. However, compared with the masters on the human list, there is still some gap.

The man in front of him must be Old Man Mo’s confidant, and the wealthy man continued to talk.

".I wonder how long you plan to stay in Jinling Mansion this time, sir? Is there anything you need me to arrange?"

"I plan to stay for a while this time, I can't say how long. As for arrangements, I'll give him this house, please deal with the land deed as soon as possible."

After Old Man Mo replied calmly, he spoke to Fang Xun again.

"Fang Xun, let me introduce you to this man, Wang, the shopkeeper of Baoxuan Pavilion. You can talk to him about business matters in the future. I will be staying in Ying Town outside the city for the time being. If you have any questions, just come and find me there."

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "The shopkeeper Wang of Baoxuan Pavilion, is he the Golden Abacus Wang Dexuan, Senior Wang?"

He had heard of the reputation of Baoxuan Pavilion, which was considered a century-old business in Jiangzhou with a very prominent reputation.

The head manager Wang Dexuan is not only a master of the highest level of enlightenment, but also a good businessman. Under his management, the business spreads throughout Jiangzhou.

I just didn't expect that the big boss behind Baoxuan Pavilion was actually old man Mo.

Wang Dexuan also smiled and said politely, "So you are Young Master Fang from Guangling Prefecture. I am so sorry. Don't worry about the house. The deed will be delivered to you in a while.

I just wonder if Young Master Fang needs to go to the pawnshop to recruit some servants. If you need any, just let me know and I can get it done tomorrow."

He felt a chill in his heart, because he knew that his master was familiar with Fang Xun.

But he also thought that Fang Xun was just a junior. He might have great potential, but his strength was not worth taking seriously.

But when I saw him today, I found that the other party had already made a breakthrough, and I even felt a hint of threat from him.

This immediately perked him up. Not to mention his relationship with Old Man Mo, his strength alone made him no longer dare to treat the other party as a junior.

Fang Xun also politely replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but no need. A group of my men will arrive in seven days at most."

"Haha, if you need anything, just ask. I've been in Jinling for a few years, so I still have some money and face."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Old Man Mo suddenly asked, "Dexuan, when I came here, I saw that the city was in a state of panic, and it seemed that the Luo Zhizhou residence was also being taken advantage of by thieves. What is going on?"

Wang Dexuan's expression immediately became serious.

"A master attacked and Lord Luo was seriously injured. If General Sun hadn't been nearby and rushed over as soon as he heard the noise, Lord Luo would probably have lost his life!"

Fang Xun's face changed, and Old Man Mo asked solemnly: "No, I know Luo Kang's strength, and even if the Yin God Grandmasters fight each other, even if they are defeated, their lives will not be in danger. Could the attacker be the Yang God Grandmaster?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately denied it: "That's not right. If he is really the Grandmaster of Yangshen, how could Luo Kang be able to stay alive? What is going on?"
