Destined Martial God

"Humph!"    

In the face of Orchid Ridge King's cold threat, although Gao An, who was in a high position, was not afraid, he knew that his actions just now had touched the bottom line of Orchid Ridge King.    

If he continued to force Su Yun, the Orchid Ridge King would really fall out with him. If the matter eventually reached the capital city's emperor, there would be no benefits for either side.    

Therefore, Gao An only snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. This caused Anya, who had been on tenterhooks, to let out a sigh of relief.    

"Let him in!"    

Initially, according to the Orchid Ridge King's character, he was not willing to interact with the business people in the city, and even more so would not meet them in the very formal living room.    

Because he knew exactly what the businessmen thought of him, and how his words and actions would affect them.    

But just now, Gao An's series of aggressive actions had caused a surge of anger to accumulate in his heart. So, against his own will, he allowed the shop's owner, Xia Yufeng, to enter the living room.    

"This commoner, Xia Yufeng, greets the City Lord!"    

Xia Yufeng, who had entered the living room, quickly knelt in front of Orchid Ridge King and paid his respects.    

"Stand up!" The Orchid Ridge King said indifferently.    

"City Lord, the reason this commoner has the gall to meet you is because a matter related to Madam Shi just happened in this commoner's shop."    

Although Orchid Ridge King's attitude was extremely cold, Xia Yufeng did not dare to have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He did not even stand up, and still knelt down on one knee, explaining the reason why he was here.    

"Tell me the details!"    

Master surname, belonged to a very remote surname. In the entire Lanling City, among the ladies with the surname Master, only his lonely sister-in-law, Shi Fangling, was surnamed Shi Fangling.    

That was why when Orchid Ridge King heard Xia Yufeng mention the matter of his most respected sister-in-law, he immediately asked with a solemn expression.    

"City Lord, this is the way things are!"    

After that, Xia Yufeng told the story of the conflict he had discovered in the shop, adding fuel to the fire.    

"Good, very good, very good!"    

After hearing Xia Yufeng add oil to the fire, Orchid Ridge King gnashed his teeth and said "yes" three times.    

Soon after, he stood up and asked with a slightly gentle tone, "Shopkeeper Xia, did you find out where the couple came from?"    

Shaking his head, Xia Yufeng replied with a guilty expression.    

"Reporting to the city lord, after the conflict occurred, the couple left the shop. This commoner's abilities are limited, and I urgently wanted to notify the city lord, so I didn't have the time to investigate the couple's origins."    

Having said that, Xia Yufeng took a risk and stood up. He took out two paintings from his bracelet of holding and said while raising them above his head.    

"Mr. Mayor, there was a shop assistant who was well versed in portraits. He personally witnessed the entire process of Lady Shi's deceit, so he drew the appearance of the couple in advance."    

He extended his hand and took a deep breath, causing two portraits to appear in Orchid Ridge King's hands. Opening the portrait, he took a closer look at the man and woman pair, and killing intent flashed in Orchid Ridge King's eyes.    

"Someone, come!" Orchid Ridge King shouted towards the door of the guest hall.    

"My Lord!" The guard, who had rushed into the main hall, knelt down on one knee and acknowledged the order.    

"Inform Commander Li at once and have him issue a wanted order for the entire city based on these two portraits. He will go all out to capture the man and woman in the portraits."    

"To tell Commander Li, other than the reward for the spirit stones, pills, and status, our Orchid Ridge King will unconditionally agree to one of his requests."    

While instructing the guards, Orchid Ridge King used his spirit energy to send the two images in his hands to the guards.    

But right at this time, Gao An, who was at the peak of the third stage of Martial Saint, suddenly extended her hand out to grab the portrait. Then, ignoring the gloomy look on Orchid Ridge King's face, she opened it up and observed.    

"Gao Dazhi, that's him!"    

Due to her proximity to Gao An, Anya also saw the faces of a man and a woman in the portrait.    

Then, she pointed at the first image in surprise and shouted.    

"Tall man, City Governor, the person that destroyed this little girl's restaurant was precisely this young man!"    

Orchid Ridge King, who was originally on the verge of exploding after Gao An stole the portrait, suddenly felt a great deal of anger dissipate when he heard that the person who deceived his lone sister-in-law was actually the evildoer who destroyed Anya Restaurant.    

Then, he instructed the guards.    

"On the wanted poster, there is a crime of disturbing the peace!"    

"Yes sir!"    

After answering the order, the guard took the portrait and quickly left the reception hall.    

"Xia Yufeng, if you encounter any trouble in the Lanling City in the future, you can use the name of the City Lord's Mansion!"    

Waiting until the guard left the living room, Orchid Ridge King promised with a gentle expression.    

"This commoner is Xia Yufeng, I thank the City Lord!"    

He had spent a lot of effort and even lost his Blood Coagulation Pill s and storage bracelet, his goal was to obtain the care of the Orchid Ridge King.    

And the promise Orchid Ridge King made just now was far more forceful than taking care of him.    

Therefore, while Xia Yufeng was excited, he was also very proud of his impromptu plan.    

Anya, who was standing beside Gao An, looked at Xia Yufeng with envy.    

Because the promise Orchid Ridge King had given her just now was exactly what she had always desired.    

However, looking at the conflict between Orchid Ridge King and Gao An, he would probably never be able to obtain this promise!    

Although the Valley of Death was not a forbidden area, it was still considered one of the most dangerous places in the Profound Sky Continent.    

The Valley of Death was an extremely mysterious valley formed by the outer and inner valleys.    

The outer valleys weren't too dangerous.    

As long as a practitioner had reached Martial Master Realm or higher, they would be able to use their spiritual will to avoid all the powerful beasts and traps in the outer valleys. Basically, their lives would not be in danger.    

But the inner valley was different!    

Because the beasts in the inner valley were much more powerful and brutal, the natural pitfalls were also much more dangerous. It was impossible to avoid them with just telepathic thoughts alone.    

Moreover, the unpredictable weather in the valley, the power of law that appeared out of nowhere, and so on, they will unknowingly kill you.    

And Yu Haoran's target this time was precisely the inner valley where danger lurked everywhere.    

With the help of the Tower Spirit's Martial Saint and his memories of his past life that was deep within the valley, Yu Haoran and He Ruyu quickly arrived in front of a small stream that was only about two meters wide.    

"Ruyu, cross this stream and you will find yourself in the inner valley of the Valley of Death." Pointing at the stream spring in front of him, Yu Haoran introduced.    

"Haoran, what made you risk entering the valley where there is a slim chance of death?"    

Although the valley inside the stream spring seemed to be extremely quiet, as if there wasn't any sort of danger within, He Ruyu, who was extremely familiar with the Valley of Death, knew that the calmer the environment, the greater the hidden dangers.
