At the gate of Newlan City, Zhang Lu handed the children over to Tu Xingsun, who escorted them to live in the Immortal Realm. When Zhang Lu returns to the Immortal Realm, he can transform them into Taoist boys.

Going to the Immortal Realm with them were the war horses captured this time and the stallions brought by Kong Xin.

War horses are gelded, so they cannot be used as stallions, but they can be kept as mounts for future heavenly soldiers.

"Lord!" Wen Zhong went out of the city to greet Zhang Lu and began to report the situation to Zhang Lu on the way back.

"The boats have been prepared. Three large boats and five small boats are enough to accommodate all the soldiers. They are now parked on the river bank between Fairyland and Newland City. They can be boarded at any time."

"That's right, don't rush now. We'll wait until the Lords Alliance leaves Newland City before setting off."

Zhang Lu knew Lin Ran's identity, so they would definitely not attack Yunlin City so quickly. If they captured the cities in the rear before the Lords Alliance attacked Yunlin City, they would most likely have to face Yunlin City's returning troops and the rear. Troops from other cities surrounded them.

At that time, Yunlin City's defense was weak and it became a wedding dress for these lord alliances.

"Lord, the Newland City exam is about to begin, but it seems that some people are restless." Wen Zhong handed the document in his hand to Zhang Lu.

As they walked, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Liu Fan and the others saw that Zhang Lu had government affairs to deal with, so they took the initiative to say goodbye and went to their rooms.

"These people are really not afraid of death." Zhang Lu originally thought that when he took control of Newland City, he killed so many noble families, and the remaining ones would be more peaceful, but he didn't expect that he would still want to cause trouble in the college entrance examination.

A total of three people were involved in bribing examiners, five people wanted to buy test questions, all of them were family members in Newland City, and three officials were bribed.

"The eight cheaters were thrown into jail and sentenced to life imprisonment. The family behind them was fined a hundred gold. All members were not allowed to take the exam this time. Officials who took bribes were directly sentenced to death and their family properties were confiscated."

As soon as Zhang Lu finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was not right in the document.

"The Ning family is not a very big family, how could they spend so much money to pay bribes?" Zhang Lu pointed out the unreasonableness, and there was only one explanation. The Ning family was buying test questions for other big families.

"I've sent people to investigate this matter, but there's no result yet." Wen Zhong had already noticed something was wrong, and was now following the clues to investigate further.

"If we haven't found out before the big exam, we will secretly kill the Ning family reference person and have Wang Jiang take him to the underworld for interrogation."

Zhang Lu would definitely not tolerate such people. If there were so many cheating in the first major exam without heavy punishment, then there would only be more and more such people who want to use their wrong ideas.

"Then let's implement it like this." Wen Zhong nodded, and he also agreed with Zhang Lu's approach.

"Lord!" Nv Wan, who had been following Zhang Lu, suddenly woke up from her sleep, as if she had a nightmare. She took Zhang Lu's arm and pointed in the direction of the warehouse warily.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Lu turned to look at Nv Wan. The little fox was wagging its three tails behind it, which made Zhang Lu want to touch it, but he stopped thinking that this was a very intimate action for her.

"There's a strange smell over there."

Zhang Lu frowned when he heard what the little fox said. He had been to the warehouse many times, and the little fox had also been there with him. He didn't say there was a strange smell before. Could he have discovered something?

"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Lu stood up. He believed that Nv Wan would not make a mistake. There should be something in the warehouse.

However, Nu Wan grabbed Zhang Lu, hugged Zhang Lu's arm with her whole body, and whispered: "It's dangerous!"

"dangerous?"

Zhang Lu glanced at the warehouse, then waved outside, and Long Yi and Hou Yi walked in from outside the palace.

"Is it enough for us to go in together?" He asked Nv Wan, because Nv Wan's ability includes luck, and her sixth sense is very strong.

Nv Wan tilted her little head and looked at Hou Yi and Long Yi, then at Zhang Lu. She seemed to be in trouble. She buried her head in Zhang Lu's back and thought for a while, then nodded, but held on to it with her little hands. He didn't let go of his clothes.

"Then you guys come with me to the warehouse."

The former city lord was given the ecstasy soup, and he was tempted to use anything. Since the woman said that there was something in the warehouse, it meant that it was a secret that even the former city lord didn't know, and maybe there would be some extra gains.

He summoned Huanri and circled around him. Long Yi also summoned the Rain Curtain Sword. After getting ready, they walked towards the warehouse.

As soon as they walked to the door of the warehouse, not only Nv Wan, but also Zhang Lu and the others could feel that there was a hot breath coming from the warehouse, as if it was going to burn people.

"what happened?"

Long Yi first pushed open the door of the warehouse. The old door panel made a "squeaking" sound. As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat came, as if a stove was lit inside.

What caught their eyes in the warehouse was a fire snake with a body length of more than ten meters. Some of the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse had been consumed by it, so it could grow to such a large size.

"Is this... that little snake?" Zhang Lu recognized the snake. It was the one that was locked in the box. But he remembered that he had closed the box, right?

Seeing a box with a hole on the side, the little snake probably bit through the box and rushed out. If they hadn't arrived earlier, he would have eaten the contents of the warehouse.

"How can a little snake that grew so big in such a short time and was originally only a level two snake swallow so many level three or four medicinal materials without being burst?"

Zhang Lu was a little surprised. This snake had reached the fourth level. It seemed to be similar to his Huanri. It could be upgraded by swallowing materials.

Seeing Zhang Lu and the others, the snake seemed to remember the days when it had been locked in a small black box for so long. It opened its mouth and spit out a ball of flame, trying to burn these people to ashes.

"Misty rain goes!"

Before the flames arrived, the Rain Curtain Sword transformed into countless water avatars and collided with the flames, instantly extinguishing the flames. Hou Yi also drew out a white feather arrow, ready to shoot at any time.

"It's a very powerful attack. It's worthy of a monster with the blood of the Snake. Let me do it." Zhang Lu patted Long Yi on the shoulder, and then stepped forward.

Fire-type monsters were a natural restraint for him. Huanri moved directly and floated above the head of the fire snake. Countless flames floated out from the fire snake and were sucked into Huanri's sword.

"Hiss~"

Under Huanri's control, the fire snake coughed, but only spit out a cloud of black smoke, curled up in a ball in grievance, and seemed to be very afraid of Huanri.

However, Zhang Lu's eyes lit up because he felt that Huanri's strength had increased. Although it was not much, it was also a direction for Huanri's growth!

When he looked at the fire snake again, his eyes showed an inexplicable light.
