Pei Laoliu executed the most familiar Sword Control Technique, preparing to leave here quickly.

His Dark Energy was nearly depleted, and adhering to the principle of not being reckless without Spiritual Power, Master Liu decided to return to the inn to replenish himself before doing anything else.

"Im...Immortal Master!! Please wait!!"

Beside him, a figure swiftly ran over, stopping Master Liu, who was about to leave. It was Ye Lin from the City Lord Mansion.

Ye Lin, intimidated by the other's might, dared not approach and stopped a few meters ahead of the Old Sword Immortal.

"What is your business?"

Pei Laoliu asked, frowning.

"Immortal Master!"

Ye Lin first clasped his fists in salute, then said urgently:

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life earlier! I am Ye Lin, the Guard Commander of the City Lord Mansion, sent by the City Lord to investigate the mysterious occurrences in Han Yue City. I am most grateful for your rescue!"

"Oh? You are from the City Lord Mansion?"

"Yes, when I saw Immortal Master about to leave, I called out to stop you. I humbly ask for your understanding."

Ye Lin was very respectful, even apologizing for his slightly loud voice earlier.

Beside them, Bai Jie and other young masters finally snapped out of their earlier shock.

They all focused their attention on Pei Laoliu, wanting to take a good look at the Sword Immortal who had just saved them.

"Immortal Master, I have an impertinent request, if you would listen to my words."

Over there, Ye Lin anxiously said.

Pei Laoliu gestured with his hand for him to continue.

"Frankly speaking, strange occurrences have been frequently found in Han Yue City recently, causing panic among the people. Citizens do not dare to venture out, and production has nearly halted..."

"I have heard all kinds of terrible news spreading throughout the city, so I suspect that evil spirits are probably haunting us, harming the citizens of Han Yue City..."

"Now that I have seen Immortal Master effortlessly slay the Demons, your mana is truly profound, and your righteousness is unparalleled. I boldly ask Immortal Master to save the citizens of this city. We shall never forget your great kindness!!"

He said this while clasping his fists and kneeling down to pay great respect to the other.

Master Liu listened to his rambling and summarized it concisely: this young man just wanted him to continue taking action and clear out the Monsters in the city.

He nodded secretly, as it aligned perfectly with his intentions.

Since he had intended to do so from the start, having the assistance of the City Lord Mansion would greatly improve their efficiency through cooperation.

Moreover, Master Liu could seize this opportunity to promote his Tianyuan Sect, paving the way for the upcoming Immortal Fate Conference.

Thinking of this, Pei Laoliu assumed a serious, contemplative expression, then frowned slightly as if troubled:

"This Han Yue City is a miasma-filled place, indeed, there are not just one or two demons, the city exudes an overwhelming demon's aura, with a Great Demon lurking. This matter is indeed difficult to handle…"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hopeful expressions froze instantly, some even showed signs of despair.

Now everyone realized that the monster from before was not the only one, it was just one among several demons in the city, with more formidable creatures elsewhere.

Though the Immortal Master is strong, as he mentioned, facing too many Monsters might be challenging even for him, how could this not leave everyone feeling disappointed?

Ye Lin also lowered his head silently.

He dared not force anything, for a being capable of splitting the earth with a sword was beyond their capacity to confront.

However, just when the crowd sank into despair, the Old Immortal Master suddenly spoke:

"Nevertheless, my Tianyuan Sect has come to this world precisely to slay demons and dispel evil! Although there are many evil spirits in the city, I will never stand by idly! Since my Tianyuan Sect has encountered this matter, how can we just sit back and do nothing?"

"Very well, you go back first and inform Lord Bai of this matter. Once Master Liu has made his preparations, I shall seek you out tomorrow."

Ye Lin's head snapped up, his eyes filled with joy.

"Immortal...Immortal Master, you agreed!? Wonderful!! I shall definitely report every detail to the City Lord upon returning, waiting eagerly for your esteemed visit!!"

Master Liu, unwilling to waste any more time there, nodded and then soared into the sky on his Flying Sword, returning to the inn where Yan Jiantong and others resided.

Those remaining on site cried tears of joy upon learning that the Immortal Master was willing to aid them in resolving their plight, seeing a glimmer of hope.

Before long, the events that transpired there today quietly spread.

However, since every household in Han Yue City was currently shutting their doors tight, the spread was quite limited, which Pei Laoliu found rather regrettable.

Nonetheless, the various Divine Skills he displayed at the Drunken Immortal Tower today had been relayed to friends and family with embellishments.

In Han Yue City, a small group began to learn of the Sword Immortal's deeds, as well as the name Tianyuan Sect.

...

City Lord Mansion, Bai Han Building.

This was the grand hall of the City Lord Mansion, in front of which flowed the largest river in Han Yue City—Li River.

At this moment, City Lord Bai Yue was seated in the grand hall, listening to his trusted aide's report.

His brows furrowed, his expression grave, not uttering a word as he silently listened to the end.

If a month ago, Xing Rilong's report of that matter could still be dismissed,

But Ye Lin was his most trusted subordinate.

Coupled with the continuous occurrences of monsters in the city, Bai Yue had no choice but to believe that all this was indeed related to the evil spirits.
