Su Zhen held her position in Feilin City.
Her approach was different from that of the fool, Feng Huiyang.
She felt it was highly likely that Lin Wudi would return through Feilin City.
Because throughout the journey, Lin Wudi almost never avoided the pursuit of the Heavenly Realm Guard, always facing them head-on.
Su Zhen did not know if this was bravery or foolishness.
The present Feilin City, had become an empty shell.
All the citizens were relocated to other places by You Feilin under the authority of the City Lord and the Holy Land Master.
Anyone who dared to defy You Feilin's orders was directly taken down by the Holy Lands' powerhouses and the City Defense Army upon his command.
For the sake of this relocation, they even killed many people to serve as a warning to others.
In just over ten days, You Feilin, as the Lord of Feilin City, had stirred up immense public anger and resentment.
His reputation was completely tarnished!
There were already Tribulation Transcenders from Feilin City preparing to complain to the superior continent lords, demanding the removal of You Feilin as the City Lord.
Despite this, You Feilin obstinately continued relocating everyone from Feilin City.
Su Zhen listened with cold indifference to all of this.
In her eyes, You Feilin's actions were redundant.
Even if Lin Wudi managed to escape the pursuit of Jing Zixuan and Feng Huiyang and appeared in Feilin City.
With her strength as a Five Tribulations Overlord, she could easily suppress or even kill Lin Wudi.
He would cause no damage to Feilin City at all!
You Feilin underestimated the crushing power a Five Tribulations Overlord holds over one Tribulation.
No matter how formidable the magical treasures were, how could they enable a one-Tribulation junior to overturn an Overlord?
Even when the Daoist Master Yellow Springs rose, he couldn't manage it, let alone a mere Lin Wudi!
"But what secret does that kid possess? The art of nurturing treasures is not unheard of in the Heavenly Realm, so why do his magical treasures have such potency?"
Su Zhen, seated on the City Lord's throne, stroked her smooth chin, deep in thought.
As for the City Lord You Feilin, he had already been driven out of the City Lord's Mansion by her.
Such a cowardly person does not deserve to inhabit the same space as her, Su Zhen!
"Commander Su! Rest assured, should Lin Wudi dare to appear, we can seize him without your involvement!"
Someone spoke from below.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, besides Su Zhen, there were also four Four Tribulations practitioners and a dozen Three Tribulations practitioners!
These individuals were drawn by her reputation, volunteering to aid Su Zhen.
As to their true motives, it didn't need questioning, everyone knew.
Su Zhen paid no attention to it; just a group of naïve fools with delusional hopes!
Thinking they could gain favor from an Overlord?
How laughable, did they even understand who they were dealing with!
Being a Law Enforcement Commanding Officer of the Heavenly Guard, Su Zhen carried immense pride and didn't regard these juniors at all.
"Commander Su, we are genuinely here to help. Just let us know if you need anything."
It was a charming woman speaking, even winking at Su Zhen as she spoke.
"Shut up! Speak one more word, and believe me, I'll kill you with one strike!"
As someone cultivated by the Heavenly Guard, imbued with military ethos, Su Zhen held disdain for such women.
The seductive woman was deflated, sit down indignantly in silence.
The remaining three Four Tribulations practitioners frowned in unison.
This Commander Su takes no heed from anyone, not sharing any benefits. She was truly overbearing!
Exchanging glances, they were starting to consider retreat.
If they couldn't gain any benefits here, staying was pointless.
At this moment, Su Zhen's expression changed slightly, a sneering smile touched her lips.
"How reckless, he truly dares return to Feilin City from the Heavenly Battlefield!"
In an instant, Su Zhen's figure vanished.
The present crowd of over a dozen people were taken aback, then someone exclaimed in surprise: "Lin Wudi really returned from the Heavenly Battlefield?"
"So soon, not even three months have passed!"
"Could it be he failed the tribulation?"
"He must have been cornered by Jing Zixuan and another, having no way to escape, that's why he fled back to the Heavenly Realm in a panic!"
"Naïve, does he believe returning to the Heavenly Realm will ensure his survival?"
"Let's go, we must see this for ourselves!"
"Let's all go. I wish to see whether Lin Wudi is really as powerful as the legends say."
The dozen figures flickered and disappeared one after another.
The seductive woman showed a subtle expression, licked her lips, "I knew it! Lin Wudi, you are mine!"
This woman was none other than the elusive Hu Sanniang in disguise!
Originally thinking that even upon Lin Wudi's return, it would take many years.
She didn't expect it to be only a few months before he reappeared again!
It left her somewhat disappointed.
However, considering Lin Wudi ascended to the Heavenly Realm in under a year and already achieved the first Tribulation.
Coming back in a few months, might not necessarily denote a failed tribulation!
Swoosh!
Hu Sanniang's figure also vanished all of a sudden.
In Feilin City, within a tavern.
You Feilin, the Lord of Feilin City, was alone inside the tavern, self-serving and drinking.
Suddenly, his expression changed, a smile surfaced on his face,
"Impressive, Lin Wudi truly returned to Feilin City! Very well, let me see how you'll handle the overlords of the Enforcement Team!"
Draining the wine in his cup, You Feilin's figure vanished as well.
Simultaneously.
In an empty sect within Feilin City.
Ming Zhenxuan, in seclusion training, abruptly opened his eyes.
"Returning in less than three months? Lin Wudi, seems you're of no consequence!"
Previously, Ming Zhenxuan believed that possessing a Tribulation Thunder Thought of Five Tribulations within Lin Wudi's Sea of Consciousness would make the second tribulation a breeze.
Unexpectedly, returning so soon implies a tribulation failure.
"Lacking strength yet reckless and ignorant, daring to defy nature's order, returning to Feilin City, is foolishness beyond reasoning!"
Ming Zhenxuan's cross-legged figure slowly began to fade, eventually disappearing.
Lin Wudi, even if destined to die, could only meet his end at the hands of my Ming family.
The secrets he bears, must belong to the Ming family!
...
Nanbotuo Continent, Great Governor's Mansion.
The Heavenly Realm Guard, Grand Commander Ji Liao, suddenly saw a jade pendant snap at his waist.
With a chess piece in hand, Ji Liao slightly furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, "To think he would truly return to the Heavenly Realm from the Heavenly Battlefield Passage through Feilin City, is Lin Wudi indeed this confident?"
Snap!
The Law Enforcement Team Venerable, on the opposite end of the chessboard, was unfazed, placing a piece down with a calm demeanor, "It's not surprising. A Great Fate Bearer, lacking such courage would disqualify them as one indeed."
Ji Liao nodded, placed another piece down, capturing two pieces.
The Venerable took little notice, casually placing another piece, and inquired, "Aren't you going to inform Su Zhen about Feng Huiyang's demise?"
The unexpected death of the Five Tribulations Overlord Feng Huiyang had been shocking to both Grand Commander Ji Liao and the Venerable at the time.
Even knowing a Great Fate Bearer isn't easily dealt with, Feng Huiyang's swift death was unforeseen.
It had only been a few months, yet a Five Tribulations Overlord had fallen!
However, since receiving the news of Feng Huiyang's fall half a month ago, Grand Commander Ji Liao strictly kept it under wraps from Su Zhen.
To the Venerable's questioning, Ji Liao chuckled, "After all, Su Zhen is the Law Enforcement Commanding Officer under your charge. If notification's to be made, it should be by you, right?"
The Venerable responded with a silent smile, placing another piece.
From the moment Su Zhen defied his prohibition, collaborating with Feng Huiyang to rush to Feilin City, he had written off this foolish woman.
Snap!
The Venerable clicked his fingers.
A figure of a Three Tribulation Law Enforcement Team member suddenly appeared, paying respects with reverence.
"Go oversee the Shrine of Heroes, should Su Zhen's Life Talisman shatter, report to me immediately."
The Venerable's words startled the Law Enforcement Team member, refraining from commentary, bowed again, and departed.
In his heart though, a tempest had stirred.
Is Su Zhen, who's been in the limelight, about to die?
