The leader by the side was greatly alarmed. These people actually dared to attack Xiao Cheng proactively! Were they utterly lawless?
"Oh dear, I forgot about you," Zhu Que walked in and knocked out the leader, whose face was red with anger, and dragged him out.
Xiao Shi immediately struggled uneasily, "What exactly do you want to do!"
Bai Ran casually sat in the main seat and spoke indifferently, "Actually, it's nothing important."
"It's just..." She squinted at Xiao Shi, her eyes cold, "Your Tong Yue City seems to look down on our Hei Ya City."
Hei Ya City! These people were from Hei Ya City! But when did their barren land produce such powerful cultivators!
"Let's talk, let's talk," Xiao Shi immediately had the idea of bribery. He looked at Bai Ran obsequiously, "What does the young lady want?"
"Compared to Hei Ya City, Tong Yue City is simply worlds apart! You are so powerful, how can you be willing to stay in such a small place?"
Jiang Ye, who was by the side, was amused by his thick skin. He tilted his head and looked at Xiao Shi, "Do you know who this person is from Hei Ya City?"
Xiao Shi looked at Bai Ran and blinked, "Who? Who else could it be?"
Jiang Ye kindly patted him, finding it truly hilarious, "She is the new City Lord of Hei Ya City. You're still thinking of bribing her?"
The new City Lord of Hei Ya City! Xiao Shi suddenly looked at Bai Ran. That old man actually sold the city! And sold it to such a young girl!
He had been coveting that mineral vein for five years!
"Answer my question, City Lord Xiao," Bai Ran looked at him coldly, her natural imperial aura flowing out unintentionally.
Xiao Shi swallowed. Since she was the City Lord of Hei Ya City, he couldn't bribe her...
"As the lord of a city, how could I possibly discriminate against Hei Ya City? Could it be that you've mistaken something?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ran leaned forward, bringing her face close to him, and whispered, "It is City Lord Xiao who has mistaken. What I asked was whether the people of your Tong Yue City look down on Hei Ya City."
Like a devil's whisper, Xiao Shi's back tensed, "N-no! Impossible! The people of my Tong Yue City would not look down on people from Hei Ya City!"
He was speaking against his conscience. In fact, he discriminated against people from Hei Ya City quite a bit.
However, Bai Ran wanted this answer, and she knew he would answer this way, because at this moment, Jiang Ye might throw a punch if he misspoke.
"Bang—!" Bai Ran slammed the spirit grass onto the table.
"Since City Lord Xiao is so straightforward, then things will be easy to handle," Bai Ran hooked her lips.
"These spirit grasses are all fake spirit grasses that the shopkeeper of the Spirit Grass Pavilion pointed at our Hei Ya City's people and insulted, calling them abhorrent."
As soon as Xiao Shi saw the spirit grasses, his heart settled. So it was just about the spirit grasses... He thought it was something else...
"Seeing City Lord Xiao's expression, it seems you know how to handle this?"
Xiao Shi was stunned and quickly nodded, "So, can you let him release me?"
With a glance from Bai Ran, Jiang Ye released Xiao Shi.
He stood up, rubbing his aching wrist, and glanced at the closed door. What was going on...
Not a single soldier had come in to save him...
However, outside, the awakened leader was once again scared unconscious. Heavens! He actually saw a young girl spitting fire at the soldiers!
Rows of soldiers fell to the ground, beheaded outside by Jing Feng and Zhu Que.
"Easy peasy. This Tong Yue City just has too many people, they're no match for us," Jing Feng flicked the blood from his sword.
Zhu Que pouted, her hands numb from all the killing, "Boring."
At this moment, a male figure walked step by step towards them, surrounded by a powerful spiritual aura.
Jing Feng's interest was piqued. He looked at the figure before him, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, "Finally, someone who can fight has arrived."
The man extended his hand, and a cyan sword materialized in his grasp.
"Move aside," his voice was light, seemingly devoid of emotion.
Zhu Que stopped Jing Feng, also piqued, "This one is mine, you don't interfere."
Alright, alright, who told him to be considerate? Jing Feng moved to the side and leaned against the door to watch.
"What if I don't move aside?" Flames erupted in Zhu Que's hand, burning fiercely.
The man looked up and said something no one expected, "A divine beast in its human form and someone from the demon realm?"
Jing Feng, leaning against the door, frowned. He could actually see through their identities at a glance...
The man's pupils were murky and somewhat vacant. If he hadn't revealed their identities, one would have thought he was blind. kuAiδugg
"I have no intention of killing. If you move aside, I will spare your lives."
His features were very handsome, as if drawn from a painting.
Zhu Que heard this and laughed, "You're not blind, but your ears are deaf. Didn't I make myself clear just now?"
The man was not angered. He simply sighed and tightened his grip on his sword, "Sin, sin."
Zhu Que's face was full of disdain, "What nonsense are you spouting? You're as crazy as that Baili the Madman!"
"Are you going to fight or not..."
Before Zhu Que could finish speaking, the man appeared behind her and sheathed his sword.
"Pfft—" She slowly looked down and saw blood flowing uncontrollably from her dantian...
"Little Zhu!!!" Jing Feng ran over in a panic. Damn it! He didn't even see the man's movement clearly!
Zhu Que's face instantly turned pale. She swayed and fell down.
She was careless... This person... was very strong...
At this moment, Bai Ran, who was contracted with Zhu Que, also received the backlash. She suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, her body trembling.
"Little Master!!!" Jiang Ye quickly supported her, his eyes filled with uncontrollable worry.
What was going on! Why did the little master suddenly vomit blood!!!
"Bang—" The door was pushed open from the outside. The man's vacant eyes gained some clarity the moment he saw Bai Ran.
"You..." He looked at Bai Ran blankly, but before he could finish asking, City Lord Xiao ran behind him as if he had gone mad.
"Zhong Zi! Quickly! Quickly kill these two!" Zhong Zi was his trump card! The strongest person in all of Tong Yue City!
Zhu Que was in trouble... Bai Ran swallowed the bitter sweetness in her mouth and glared at the man before her.
Zhong Zi seemed to have no murderous intent towards Bai Ran, but rather... confusion?
Seeing that he didn't react, Xiao Shi became anxious, "Zhong Zi! What are you doing! I told you to kill these two!"
It went in one ear and out the other. Zhong Zi seemed not to have heard his command, staring blankly at Bai Ran.
"Who are you?" his voice, with a wavering tone, sounded out. Bai Ran's expression darkened.
Who exactly was this person...
