Chapter 137 Lin Fan Arrives at Jigui City

Lin Fan slowly unfolded the letter Zhang Wenyu had just sent and read it word by word. When he read the last line, his brows involuntarily frowned slightly. From the words between the lines of the letter, he keenly realized that the banquet hosted by the Lord of Jigui City was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

He knew very well that the reason Zhang Wenyu described the banquet in such a light-hearted manner was simply to protect him from potential danger and trouble. However, was Lin Fan the kind of person who would back down easily?

What's more, his strong curiosity was like a burning flame, driving him to find out the truth. If he missed this opportunity, he would probably feel sorry for his own personality.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan reached into his storage bag without hesitation and carefully took out a detailed map of the Southern Region. He spread the map in front of him and searched carefully for the location of Jigui City with his eyes like a torch. After some patient searching, he finally found the location of Jigui City in a corner of the map - it was located directly south of the Spirit Beast Forest.

After confirming the target location, Lin Fan resolutely put away the map and headed towards Jigui City with firm steps. Although there was a certain distance between the two places, he was not afraid at all. He moved forward at a normal speed. Even if he went all out, Lin Fan estimated that it would take a whole day to reach Jigui City.

As night fell, the surrounding environment became increasingly dark and quiet. Seeing that it was still a long way to go to Jigui City, Lin Fan had no choice but to spend the night in the wilderness. He found a relatively dry and sheltered place, simply cleared out a piece of open space, and then took out some necessary items from the storage bag, preparing to face this long night.

Night fell over the wilderness, and there was silence all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility. Just as he was sitting by the campfire enjoying his dinner, he suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps coming from afar.

He listened alertly and soon discovered that there were two groups of people hurrying on their way. When the first group passed by, Lin Fan looked closely and recognized a familiar face among them - Sun Zhi. It turned out that this group was from Huahuan City.

The reason why he could recognize them at a glance was not only because of his acquaintance Sun Zhi, but also because Lin Fan knew them. What surprised Lin Fan was that every time he saw Sun Zhi, his voice among the people in Huahuan City seemed to be gradually weakening. Perhaps something had happened internally, or there were other reasons that led to this situation, but Lin Fan had no idea of ​​the specific reasons at this time.

Not long after, the second group of people also hurried over. This time, Lin Fan recognized the identity of this group of people by seeing his acquaintance Zhang Ji. It turned out that they were the mortal enemy of Huahuan City - the Rock Beast Sect.

Looking at the two groups of people hurrying and heading in the same direction, Lin Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. What on earth was making them so anxious?

After some thought, Lin Fan made a rough judgment: it is very likely related to the mayor of Jigui City who is about to host a banquet. After all, the strength of Jigui City is far greater than that of Yanshou Sect and Huahuan City. If something important really happens, it will surely be inextricably linked to this powerful city.

Since then, no one else has passed by here. Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Fan found a relatively quiet and flat place, sat down on the ground and took a short rest. He leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing, and let his body gradually relax.

The night passed in silence. When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on Lin Fan's face through the gaps in the leaves, he slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and moved his stiff limbs. Then, he stood up, dusted himself off, and set out on the journey to Jigui City again.

Lin Fan continued walking, his heart filled with anticipation for this mysterious city. Finally, around noon, a magnificent city appeared in his sight. It was Jigui City!

From a distance, the city walls tower into the clouds and the city gates are majestic and solemn, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Lin Fan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the city gate. He saw a row of fully armed soldiers standing at the gate. They all had serious expressions, vigilantly watching the people entering and leaving the city gate. Lin Fan walked up to one of the soldiers and started talking to him.

At first, the soldiers were quite wary of Lin Fan, a stranger, but after Lin Fan patiently explained and showed relevant documents, the soldiers' attitude gradually eased. In the end, Lin Fan successfully passed through the city gate and smoothly entered Jigui City.

Upon entering the city, Lin Fan was immediately captivated by the sight. The streets were spacious and clean, lined with shops offering a dazzling array of goods. The streets were bustling with people, accompanied by the sounds of hawkers and bargaining. The atmosphere was bustling with activity. Various street food stalls also emitted enticing aromas, drawing Lin Fan to stop and watch.

Looking up, the sky was as blue as a mirror, with white clouds floating leisurely, contrasting with the quaint buildings in the city, forming a beautiful picture. All this made Lin Fan feel extremely novel, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

However, the most urgent task now was to reunite with Zhang Wenyu instead of continuing to admire the city, so Lin Fan randomly selected a cultivator from the crowd.

"Hello, cultivator. Have you heard of the Cultivators' Alliance? I'd like to go there and meet someone I know."

The person being questioned seemed to have heard some news and quickly said with a smile, "I am from the Zhongxiu League, but I don't know everyone in the Zhongxiu League, so I'll take you to the Zhongxiu League to have a look."

"That's exactly what I want. Thank you very much, sir."

Afterwards, Lin Fan followed the man who claimed to be a member of the Zhongxiu Alliance to a luxurious house. Above the door of the house were written three big words: "Zhongxiu Alliance".

After Lin Fan entered the house, he happened to see a familiar figure—Zhang Wenyu. He quickly stepped forward, patted Zhang Wenyu on the shoulder, and said, "Long time no see."

Zhang Wenyu turned around and looked at Lin Fan, his face instantly showing joy, but he quickly withdrew his smile and said seriously, "Long time no see, but you came at the wrong time. It seems that I wrote that letter too late."

"No, I've read the letter, otherwise I wouldn't have come here. I'm here to help you this time."
