Chapter 120 Gathering
The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless, which was a rare good weather.

Early in the morning, Chen Li got up and finished grooming, but when Chen Li came to the front hall, Shen Shuyi was already waiting there.

Seeing Chen Li coming, Shen Shuyi said: "Did Elder Chen rest well last night? I hope we didn't neglect Elder Chen!"

Chen Li smiled and said: "It's already very good, and I had a good rest last night, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first!
Yesterday I heard that various forces in Nanming City will appear, just let me see the background of those forces! "

Shen Shuyi heard the words and said: "Let's go first, I will introduce you to the various forces in Nanming City on the way!"

With that said, Shen Shuyi led Chen Li out of the firm, and a luxurious carriage had already parked at the door.

After the two got into the carriage, Shen Shuyi began to introduce the various forces in Nanming City and their respective strengths!

The first is the power of the City Lord's Mansion, although the City Lord's Mansion is nominally affiliated to the imperial court.

However, Nanming City in the southwestern region is a remote place that no one cares about, and the imperial court is too lazy to manage it.

And because this place already belongs to the Donghua Region, and the Donghua Region has been bestowed by the Emperor Donghua by the current emperor of the Central Region.

So all along, the imperial court has never inquired about the matter of Nanming City, and it seems that the city has been forgotten.

In fact, this kind of situation has become the norm in the southwest region, just like that in Ximing City.

Today's Ximing City City Lord's Mansion is dispensable, because the younger generations are incompetent, and Ximing City has been divided up by major forces.

However, in Nanming City, the City Lord's Mansion is still the biggest force in the city. The current City Lord's surname is Lei, so the Lei family is also a big family in the city.

Apart from the City Lord's Mansion, there are four other great families in Nanming City, namely Qin Family, Li Family, Jiang Family and Liu Family.

The four major families occupy the four sides of Nanming City, and the City Lord's Mansion is in the center, dividing up the business and territory of the entire Nanming City.

In fact, the Shen family already belonged to outsiders, and it was only because of the Shen family's particularity that they had a place in Nanming City.

Over the years, the Shen family has been acting as an agent for the sales of various elixirs in Qingyunmen, so it has completely become the most popular business family.

And such families are most welcomed by various city forces, because they will not compete for territory, but will drive the development of the city.

Therefore, for the Shen family to open a shop in Nanming City, sell various elixirs, and buy medicinal materials and poisonous insects by the way, all forces are very welcome.

The several major forces in Nanming City are slightly stronger than Ximing City, and the principals (patriarchs) all have cultivation bases at the peak of the Anti-Void Realm.

Moreover, in each family, there are quite a few masters in the early and middle stages of the Anti-Void Realm, and the overall strength is considered superior in this southwest region.

Shen Shuyi was still in the introduction room, the carriage had already passed through half of Nanming City, not far away, the City Lord's Mansion was already in sight.

Seeing this, Shen Shuyi temporarily stopped introducing Chen Li, got out of the carriage, and an attendant led Shen Shuyi and Chen Li into the City Lord's Mansion.

The two followed the attendants through several corridors and small courtyards, and soon came to a hall.

At this time, many people were already sitting in the hall, and they were talking about something.

Chen Li looked up, and saw that those people had been divided into several factions, they should be members of several big families.

When those people saw Shen Shuyi, they quickly got up and greeted Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi smiled and greeted them each, and led Chen Li into the hall.

Seeing Chen Li beside Shen Shuyi, an old man asked aloud, "Miss Shen, who is this?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said: "This is my friend-Chen Li, this time he is going to the rainforest on behalf of our Shen family!"

The old man was a little surprised when he heard the words, and looked at Chen Li carefully, his expression gradually became dignified.

The old man didn't look down on Chen Li because he was young. Instead, he observed Chen Li carefully.

Just this observation made the old man startled.

The old man is from the Li family, according to his seniority, he is still the uncle of the current head of the Li family.

It's just that the Li family has a large population. According to blood relationship, the old man is considered a side bloodline, but he is also a monk in the late stage of the Anti-Void Realm.

It's just that with my late stage anti-void realm cultivation base, I can't see through Chen Li's cultivation base.

Either Chen Li has a strange treasure on his body, which conceals his cultivation, or Chen Li's cultivation is higher than him!
It's just that no matter what the final situation is, Chen Li's background is not simple.

This time to explore in the rainforest, it is required to have at least the Anti-Void Realm cultivation base.

So no matter what kind of situation Chen Li is in, he is at least a strong anti-virtual realm.

If you have the Anti-Void Realm with a strange treasure, it is already very difficult to provoke, but if your cultivation base exceeds yourself.
The old man didn't dare to think about it any more. All in all, he just wanted to make friends with Chen Li.

Therefore, the old man bowed his hands to Chen Li and said:
"Since Brother Chen Li represents the Shen family, we will be teammates from now on.

Among these people, I should be much older, so I'll take care of you and just call me Lao Li. "

Chen Li glanced at the old man in surprise, nodded with a smile, and said:
"Okay, then I'll call you Lao Li, and I hope everyone can take care of you when we take action!"

Hearing this, Lao Li smiled and said, "Everyone, each other, everyone is here to find out what's wrong with the rainforest, and they should take care of each other."

Seeing that Lao Li had said that, the others expressed their agreement.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, footsteps came from outside the door again.

Everyone heard the reputation and looked around, only to see a strong middle-aged man in brocade robes coming outside.

Seeing the middle-aged man, Lao Li quickly smiled and said, "Old Ghost Lei, you are actually the candidate for the Lei family this time?
It seems that we are more confident in this rainforest exploration! "

The middle-aged man smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Old ghost Li, the Li family actually sent you out!
It seems that the Li family also attaches great importance to this matter! "

After Lao Li hugged the middle-aged man, he began to introduce the people present.

The Qin family sent a tall and thin man, whose cultivation was in the middle stage of Anti-Void Realm.

The one sent by the Jiang family was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance and her cultivation was at the peak of the early stage of the Anti-Void Realm.

In the end, the Liu family was a little perfunctory, sending an elder Keqing who had just entered the anti-virtual realm.

Therefore, candidates from the six factions have arrived, namely Lao Li representing the Li family and Chen Li representing the Shen family.

There is also a middle-aged woman representing the Jiang family, an expert man from the Qin family, an elder Ke Qing from the Liu family, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe from the last city lord's mansion.

These six people will represent the six major forces and go to the rainforest to find out why those people disappeared.

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe represented the City Lord's Mansion, so he became the leader of everyone.

So he first said: "It's not too late, everyone knows each other, let's go to the rainforest to investigate!"

Everyone agreed, got up and followed the brocade robed man outside.

Seeing this, Chen Li also nodded to Shen Shuyi, said hello, and followed.

This is a primitive jungle, the surrounding trees are not very tall, and the ground is full of weeds.

Chen Li and six people walked among them, but the speed of walking was not very fast.

After all, there are many dangers in the rainforest, and even those who are strong in the Anti-Void Realm are in danger of being injured.

After a few people left the City Lord's Mansion, they didn't want to waste any more time, so they went straight to the rainforest.

Now it has been deep into the rainforest for more than an hour, but for this vast rainforest, it has only just entered the outer area.

In the process, everyone has already encountered many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes.

Although these poisonous insects and poisonous snakes pose a great threat to ordinary people or people with low cultivation.

It's just that everyone is not weak, so naturally they can be easily dealt with.

The crowd marched into the depths of the rainforest for more than an hour, and it was already past noon, but they still did not find any abnormal traces.

As the temporary team leader, the man in brocade robe motioned for everyone to stop and take a rest first, and eat something by the way.

The crowd found an open space, used it as a temporary camp, and stopped.

Lao Li raised the fire and took out a wild boar that he had hunted while on the road.

After cleaning up, he started to roast the wild boar, and said with a smile:

"You guys are lucky today, you can have the honor to taste my old Li's cooking skills!
You must know that my old Li's culinary skills were well-known in Nanming City back then. This time, I will let you have a good try of what culinary skills are! "

The brocade robed man laughed and said: "You old ghost can't do anything else, but you have such a good cooking skill.

It just so happens that I haven't tried your cooking skills for a long time, but I don't know if you have regressed? "

Old Li laughed and said, "Old Ghost Lei, don't worry, I haven't given up on my cooking skills all these years!
If you don't believe me, just wait and see if my cooking skills are still the same as before! "

Everyone chatted lively, but Chen Li was a little strange, he couldn't help but glanced around with his peripheral vision, as if he sensed something!
