Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: Ask Me Anything
The frightening sword light swept across the heavenly dome like a comb, engulfing dozens of powerful members of the Liu Family.
Moments later, the sword light gradually dissipated, and the trembling space returned to calm. However, not a single one of those powerful members of the Liu Family could be found. The Liu Family Patriarch Liu Fan and numerous elders from the family, all vanished without a trace.
Zhao Tianmei’s red lips moved, and the words she hadn’t finished speaking were cut off in her throat. She wanted to plead for the Liu Family, but now it was unnecessary, as this group from the Liu Family was already dead.
Standing equally at the entrance of Seven Treasures Restaurant, Building Owner Zhuo Ming was dumbstruck.
He originally thought he was truly dead this time.
The Young Masters of the Mo Family and Liu Family both perished inside his restaurant, leaving him in despair. An occurrence like this would make anyone feel hopeless.
A Nine Tripods Main God Warrior confronting such behemoths as the Mo Family and Liu Family indeed finds it difficult to muster thoughts of resistance.
Building Owner Zhuo Ming had already prepared himself to face death. Yet unexpectedly, the outcome for the Mo Family and Liu Family’s strongest turned out to be so tragic. Two major families of Tanshan City deployed their elites but met with complete demise in a short span.
Building Owner Zhuo Ming, instinctively looked towards Jing Yan.
This person, the Daoist couple of Gao Feng, how terrifyingly powerful were they?
Building Owner Zhuo Ming couldn’t help but recall that just moments ago, inside the Seven Treasures Restaurant, this person told him he wouldn’t suffer Mo and Liu Family’s retaliation. At that time, he thought this person was crazy, barely willing to engage further.
Now it appears the true error was on his part. The person indeed had the strength, no wonder he was so confident.
He looked again at Gao Feng.
He was somewhat puzzled why Gao Feng possessed such a powerful Daoist couple yet never revealed it. Furthermore, having such a powerful Daoist couple, why were Gao Feng and her daughter Jing Dongxue merely ordinary Void Gods?
The difference was truly too vast.
And in the distant sky, those martial artists from Tanshan City were watching from afar. What they saw completely exceeded their knowledge, surpassing their imagination.
In their eyes, how powerful were the Mo Family and Liu Family? With these two families joining forces, even the City Lord Mansion would have to evade three leagues in Tanshan City. They could truly rule the city.
However, today, the powerful of these two families all met their downfall in this place. It’s imaginable that from today onward, the Mo Family and Liu Family would languish. It wouldn’t take long before they vanish from Tanshan City.
Because, even if the strong who killed the high-ranking Mo Family and Liu Family members didn’t pursue further actions against them, their old enemies certainly wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
Take, for example, the Mo Family, which has had very fierce conflicts with the Wang Family for a long time. Would the Wang Family not seize this opportunity to completely root out the Mo Family? With Mo Family’s current strength, the Wang Family merely needed to dispatch a few elders at the Nine Tripods Main God Realm to accomplish it.
Such an opportunity, if the Wang Family didn’t seize it, then the top management of the Wang Family would be fools.
"Who exactly is that person?"
"What terrifying strength! He’s at least a Third-class God Lord Realm, or perhaps even a Second-tier God Master!"
"Humph, that person is at least a Second-tier God Master. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to so quickly annihilate all the high-ranking Mo and Liu Family members."
"Our Tanshan City actually has such a terrifying individual!"
"The Mo and Liu Families inviting trouble from such a formidable figure is tragic for them both."
The events occurring near Seven Treasures Restaurant also quickly spread throughout Tanshan City. The various families and powers received the definite news.
Along with this news came a surging undercurrent. In the past, the Mo and Liu Families occupied a large number of resource production areas in Tanshan City. Now, wanting to hold onto those industries is merely a dream for these families.
...
"Dear Lord!" City Lord Zhao Tianmei stepped forward, arriving at the front of the restaurant.
For her, matters were far from over.
With the Mo and Liu Family’s high-ranking members completely wiped out, Tanshan City’s power division would surely undergo a reshuffling.
As the City Lord of Tanshan City, she naturally needs to control such turbulence within a specified scope. She can even tolerate the complete downfall of the Mo and Liu Families, but she cannot tolerate Tanshan City plunging into chaos.
And at this moment, she wouldn’t hope for this terrifyingly powerful strongman to further disrupt her control over Tanshan City. Thus, she had to step forward to probe his next course of action.
"Are you Zhao Tianmei, the City Lord of this city? Just call me Jing Yan; I am Gao Feng’s Daoist couple." Jing Yan looked at Zhao Tianmei, and slowly said.
"Mr. Jing Yan!" Zhao Tianmei slightly bowed.
"The Mo Family and Liu Family attacked you on their own accord, and deserved their fate; they brought this upon themselves. You killed them, I have no words to say." Zhao Tianmei said while observing Jing Yan’s changing expressions.
Seeing no shift in Jing Yan’s complexion, she continued, "In Tanshan City, the Mo and Liu Families are top-notch big families. Their members are extremely numerous. Most of them are unlike Mo Wei in their arrogance, so..."
"City Lord, I understand your intention." Jing Yan raised his hand, interrupting Zhao Tianmei.
"You are the City Lord of Tanshan City, wishing for the city’s stability, I understand." Jing Yan said, "I can speak frankly with you, this matter can end here. As long as these two family members don’t continue appearing before me, that’s all."
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Zhao Tianmei’s mood relaxed.
If Jing Yan won’t take further action, then handling subsequent matters becomes much easier. With the City Lord Mansion involved, the impending conflicts within the city can be controlled. Her greatest worry was that Mr. Jing Yan might expose his ire entirely on Tanshan City. If that truly happened, she, the City Lord, would be powerless to prevent it.
The strength displayed earlier by Mr. Jing Yan has already made everything clear. Unless she sought aid from the Sect. But she wouldn’t do that unless absolutely necessary.
"City Lord, Lord Jing Yan, why not continue the discussion inside the restaurant?" Building Owner Zhuo Ming graciously suggested from the side.
Although Zhuo Ming was very old and worldly, he was greatly excited at this moment.
Jing Yan glanced at Building Owner Zhuo Ming.
No matter how you look at it, Building Owner Zhuo Ming previously aided Feng’er and Dongxu somewhat. Thus, Jing Yan held some goodwill towards this Building Owner Zhuo Ming.
"Does the City Lord have time now? There are some matters I wish to inquire about." Jing Yan looked again at Zhao Tianmei and asked.
"Mr. Jing Yan, feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know without reservation!" Zhao Tianmei immediately replied.
She was actually curious about where this powerful figure hailed from.
