Qin Shi Lei turned and flew back to the city walls, looking down at the burly man still sitting on the ground.
The burly man immediately prostrated himself, begging for mercy, "My lord, spare me, my lord, spare me!"
"Next life, when you reincarnate, remember to keep your mouth clean."
After speaking, Qin Shi Lei waved his hand, unleashing a bolt of lightning that instantly turned the man into a charred corpse.
The moment the man uttered those insulting words, he was already condemned to death.
"Let's go."
Qin Shi Lei once again took Kong Qing Shu's left hand and flew towards the Golden Winged Thunder Roc high in the sky.
After watching Qin Shi Lei and Kong Qing Shu leave, the three Golden experts on the ground dared to get up.
"Phew, we finally managed to save our lives!"
"City Lord, should we spread the news of King Qin An's appearance in our city?"
"You idiot, aren't you afraid that King Qin An will blame us for leaking his whereabouts and return to destroy us?"
"Right, right, we should act as if nothing happened."
The middle-aged City Lord flew into the air and shouted, "Everyone listen to me, no one is to spread the news of King Qin An's appearance here, or else don't blame me for being harsh."
However, just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly reminded him, "City Lord, I'm afraid that foolish idiot has already spread the news of King Qin An's appearance here, along with a photo."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man felt his vision go black and almost fell from the sky.
One of the Golden experts flew to his side and whispered, "City Lord, why don't we just run away now?"
While the three were discussing their escape, the national chat channel of Pretty Country was in an uproar.
"What should we do? Are we going to live under King Qin An's iron fist from now on?"
"It's all thanks to some people who were all talk and extremely arrogant, saying King Qin An wouldn't come to Pretty Country. Now look at them!"
"Don't panic, didn't that person say King Qin An only brought one woman? There's no way he can conquer Pretty Country with just two people, right?"
"To be fair, King Qin An alone is worth a thousand troops. If he really wanted to be the President of Pretty Country, who could resist him? Who would dare to resist?"
"Silly, can't we just pretend to obey but disobey in secret? Pretend to acknowledge his rule but resist him behind his back?"
"King Qin An is not only peerless in cultivation, but he's also incredibly handsome. If only I could have some deep interaction with him."
"Love-struck fool, get lost!"
While the survivors of Pretty Country trembled and discussed Qin Shi Lei, the Golden experts of Pretty Country felt doom was upon them, and most of them had the idea of hiding for a while.
Qin Shi Lei never expected that his simple act of asking for directions would cause such a massive stir in Pretty Country.
At this moment, he had already arrived above Furong City.
With a flash, he landed on the city wall. "Is this Furong City, and is Steve the City Lord of this city?"
"D-d-d-dare I ask, sir, this... this... this is indeed Furong City, and Steve is our City Lord."
The young guard being questioned trembled all over and answered stutteringly.
Qin Shi Lei reached out and grabbed him, then with another flash, returned to the back of the Golden Winged Thunder Roc.
"Point the way!"
Before the man could react, they were already in mid-air, and he was momentarily stunned.
After Qin Shi Lei glanced at him impatiently, he regained his senses and pointed forward, "Fly straight ahead."
With a gentle flap of its wings, the Golden Winged Thunder Roc turned into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the center of the city.
"Brother Qin, that's strange. Why didn't we hear their alarm this time?" Kong Qing Shu asked with some confusion.
Qin Shi Lei turned to look at the guard beside him.
"I... I don't know." The guard quickly waved his hands.
Qin Shi Lei said calmly, "It's good that there's no alarm. That sound is quite piercing."
As they spoke, they arrived above a majestic palace complex.
Qin Shi Lei's mind moved, and he summoned An Qian and Zhang Xiao Li from the Blessed Land.
He thought it would be a good opportunity for them to experience some foreign scenery.
The group flew directly from mid-air to the front of the largest palace below.
"That's strange, why did these guards turn around and run away without saying a word?" An Qian asked, looking puzzled.
"Exactly, they neither came up to ask nor shouted an alarm, but they looked like they were fleeing for their lives." Zhang Xiao Li chimed in.
Qin Shi Lei also felt very puzzled.
As guards, they should have approached strangers who suddenly descended from the sky to inquire, rather than fleeing like this.
The guards, who were only at the Silver realm, could not have seen through their cultivation at a glance, so there was no possibility of them fleeing out of fear.
Qin Shi Lei released the City Lord he was holding and said, "Let's go, we'll go inside and take a look."
The four of them stepped into the palace ahead.
The moment they entered the palace, Qin Shi Lei and the others were amazed by the exquisite and luxurious decoration inside.
As they admired the grand and magnificent architecture, they slowly walked towards the innermost part of the palace.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to come in?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from their right.
"You've come at the right time." Qin Shi Lei turned to look at the newcomer.
A man who looked like a butler, wearing a suit and around fifty years old, walked over with a somber expression.
However, when he saw Qin Shi Lei, his face suddenly changed, and he stopped in his tracks.
He patted his forehead, "Alas! My coffee should be ready by now. I should go turn off the heat."
He then turned and intended to retreat through a side door, as if he had suddenly forgotten about Qin Shi Lei and the others.
"Stop!" Qin Shi Lei commanded coldly.
At his command, the man in the suit stopped with a look of distress.
"Come over and answer a few questions for me."
The man in the suit walked over, his body trembling slightly.
Qin Shi Lei asked calmly, "You recognize who I am, don't you? And you all already know I'm coming, right?"
The man in the suit bowed deeply, "Greetings, Your Highness King Qin An. This humble one does indeed recognize you, my lord. Because someone mentioned your arrival in Pretty Country on the chat channel, most people in Pretty Country are already aware of your arrival."
An Qian chuckled, "So that's how it is. No wonder they're all avoiding us like we're a plague."
The three women didn't find anything wrong with this, but rather found it quite amusing.
Qin Shi Lei spoke again, "Is your City Lord Steve here? Have him come out to see me."
The man in the suit's face changed, and he hesitated, replying, "The City Lord, along with those Golden experts, has just left the City Lord's mansion. This humble one does not know where they have gone."
"They fled upon hearing the news?"
Qin Shi Lei's expression turned cold, but he thought to himself that he would deal with them properly once he caught them.
