Chapter 489 Arrogant Staff
In the first city, in a restaurant room, four middle-aged men were sitting around a large dining table, and the dining table was filled with delicious dishes, steaming hot.
However, the four of them had no mood or appetite to taste it, and they didn't even take a second look. They all lowered their heads, their eyes flickering, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
These four people are the four city lords of the second city and the third city.
"Snapped!"
Feng Xinghai suddenly slapped his palm on the dining table, opening up the dull atmosphere, his eyes spitting fire, and he said with murderous intent: "No, this matter must not be let go like this, Li Feng, this little bastard, I must Cut him into pieces!"
After saying that, his momentum exploded, the seat behind him shattered with a sound, and he was about to walk out of the room.
"City Lord, calm down!"
Upon seeing this, Liao Fan, the deputy city lord of the second city, stood up in a hurry, grabbed the grumpy city lord, and repeatedly advised him: "City lord, it's not like you don't know the rules of the first city. Private fighting is not allowed."
"I am the city lord of the second city, do I have to abide by this rule? At worst, I will have a fight with that old dog Wang Fan, who is afraid of the other!"
Feng Xinghai was really furious. His most proud disciple died, and even the imperial soldiers were snatched away by Li Feng. This was simply a shame and humiliation. If he didn't let out this bad breath, he would go crazy sooner or later.
"Yes, yes! The city lord is so powerful that he is not afraid of Wang Fan. No, Wang Fan's old dog is no match for the city lord. But has the city lord ever thought that now that the commander of the shadow guards is in the first city, he hates him the most? What you want is to kill the contestants participating in the Shadow Guard election for no reason. If you do it rashly, you may not be able to protect yourself by then!"
"Are you threatening me?" Feng Xinghai looked at him unkindly.
Yin Haoming, the City Lord of the Third City on the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up and stepped forward, pressing him down on the seat. Then he shook his head and said, "Brother Hai, Deputy City Lord Liao is right. You can't be reckless in this matter. We still need to think about it in the long term.”
Looking at a few old friends who have known each other for many years, Feng Xinghai shook his head and sighed: "I don't know what you are worried about, but you also saw today that Li Feng's strength is so terrifying that even his faith was defeated with one move. Even if he doesn’t win the first place, he can still become a Shadow Guard. Then it’s not us who will kill him, but he will probably kill us.”
"That's true. With Li Feng's strength, if nothing unexpected happens, becoming a Shadow Guard is an absolute fact. If you really want to kill us, you only need to find an unfounded charge."
Yin Haoming nodded and did not deny what Feng Xinghai said, because it was the truth. In the eyes of the shadow guards, they city lords were nothing at all, and any lies they made up casually could kill them.
Then, he continued to add: "But I still don't agree with you to assassinate Li Feng, because with Li Feng's strength, you may not be able to succeed even if you try to assassinate him. What's more, he has obtained the imperial soldiers and his strength has greatly increased. Then you won't be able to succeed." Kill him, and maybe he will kill you first.”
Liao Fan and the other two deputy city lords also nodded, agreeing with Yin Haoming's statement.
Feng Xinghai frowned and knitted his brows into a straight line. After weighing it in his mind for a long time, he finally made a decision and said solemnly: "Even if I die, I will give it a try. It is better than waiting for him to become a shadow guard and treat us like nothing." The fish on the plate needs to be stronger!”
"Uncle Hai, you don't have to take risks, leave this matter to your niece!" At this time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded. Despite this, it cannot be denied that this voice is really nice.
"Crunch!"
The door was gently pushed open, and a woman in red walked in slowly. This person was Kong Hanqing. Her face had lost its former beauty and was extremely haggard. Her eyes were reddish and the bags under her eyes were red and swollen. She was obviously sad before. cried.
"Qing'er, uncle knows that you have always been strong and want to personally avenge your faith, but I absolutely disagree with this matter. Let's not mention that Li Feng's strength is no worse than yours. Let's just say that the rules of the competition are determined by drawing lots. You may not be able to meet him.”
Kong Han asked clearly: "Has Uncle Hai forgotten that there is another special rule in the battle for the Shadow Guards?"
"Do you really want to?"
"Yes, even if I can't meet Li Feng, with my cultivation, there is no problem in getting into the top three. Then I can challenge him and avenge Brother Chong with my own hands!" Kong Han said clearly, with a cold voice. Due to the frost, even the four major city lords could not help but feel chilled both physically and mentally.
Then Kong Hanqing suddenly knelt in front of his master and begged: "Please let me do it, daddy!"
The sudden action made Feng Xinghai and Liao Fan puzzled, but Yin Haoming knew very well what the daughter he loved most in front of him was pleading for.
Yin Haoming frowned and hesitated for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Do you really want to do this? Do you know the price of doing this?"
"My daughter understands." Kong Hanqing said firmly.
"Okay! Come with me."
Yin Haoming sighed softly, stood up and walked out of the private room to another room. Kong Hanqing also stood up, bowed to Feng Xinghai and the others, and quickly followed.
…
"Is there such a rule in the battle for shadow guards?" In the suburban courtyard, Wutian frowned slightly and looked at Sikong Yanran speechlessly.
I learned from Sikong Yanran that as long as you enter the top three in the Shadow Guard competition, you can challenge anyone.
For example, Wutian, Cang Zheng, and Sikong Yanran are among the top three. No matter who is first, if the others are dissatisfied, they can challenge any one of them, and the person being challenged cannot refuse.
Sikong Yanran nodded gently, and said with some concern: "So you have to be careful. This time you killed Chongfeng, I believe Kong Hanqing, his fiancée, will not let it go.
And the little devil, you bought my 10 million essence, Wang Fan will definitely try every means to get rid of you, and with the shadow guard leader, they dare not assassinate or anything. If you three don't meet in the fighting field tomorrow, they will definitely make a fuss about the challenge."
"It doesn't matter, Li Feng's strength is enough to easily crush the two." Cang Zheng spit a mouthful of fragrant tea and said indifferently.
Sikong Yanran was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the two of them deeply again, then shook her head and smiled: "It seems that I still underestimated your abilities."
"Miss Yanran, don't praise me! I'm just a little follower, he is the real protagonist." Cang Zheng waved his hand, glanced at Wu Tian, and said sarcastically: "Master Li Feng, do you think the little follower is right?"
Wutian ignored this directly, Cang Zheng felt bored, pursed his lips, turned to look at Sikong Yanran, and said: "Miss Yanran, is there any fun place in the first city?"
Sikong Yanran pondered for a while, and smiled: "There are no fun places, but you can go to the exchange, there are many rare treasures, and the price is quite fair."
"Well, let's go and take a look?" Cang Zheng's spirit came immediately, but he still didn't forget to ask Wu Tian's opinion.
"Let's go! I also want to see what good things there are here." Wu Tian smiled lightly, and the true meaning of this sentence was only understood by him and Cang Zheng.
"It's boring for two grown men to walk around, so why don't Miss Yanran come along! Just treat her as a companion."
"Okay!"
So the three of them walked out of the courtyard and soon came to a huge building. There were three golden characters on the gate, which were vigorous and powerful, showing their extraordinaryness!
This is the trading pavilion of the First City. There are a total of five floors. The higher you go, the rarer and more precious the things are. Of course, the more expensive they are.
"My goodness, it's too crowded!" Cang Zheng was shocked.
"The trading pavilion is in the center of the First City. There are a lot of people coming and going on weekdays. In addition, these days are the days of the Shadow Guards Battle. Many people from other eight cities have also come, and basically they all come to stroll around and try their luck, so it's very lively here these days." Sikong Yanran explained.
It's more than lively here, it's just that people are next to each other, people are crowded, and a fart can knock out a large number of people. The three of them fought for a long time before entering the main hall.
"Let's go directly to the fourth floor. The things on the first three floors are basically very common and not very useful for the practitioners in the God Transformation Period." Sikong Yanran smiled at the two of them, and soon reached the fourth floor with ease.
Relatively speaking, there are fewer people here, and it is much quieter. Everyone is wandering around the counters around, looking for things they need, and the staff behind the counters are also explaining tirelessly.
The arrival of Wu Tian and the other two will naturally attract a lot of attention. There are surprises, anger, disgust, and of course flattery. However, they have been used to being looked at all the way on the street before, so they just ignore it and wander around aimlessly.
"This stone is not bad, it is probably very precious." After a while, Cang Zheng stopped and looked at a blood stone as big as an egg and commented.
"Phoenix blood stone is of course very expensive and has the effect of beauty and skin care, but I guess you, a grown man, don't need it. Let's go somewhere else." The staff guarding this counter said expressionlessly, and his attitude was completely different from when he faced other customers.
"Hmm?" Wu Tian and the other two frowned slightly when they heard this.
Sikong Yanran said: "My two young masters, I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you that the trading pavilion is actually the private property of the City Lord's Mansion..."
Cang Zheng waved his hand, signaling not to say anything, because hearing this was enough. Looking at the pretty woman behind the counter, he joked: "Really? I really have to have it today! How much essence, name a price!"
The woman frowned and said impatiently: "Why are you so ignorant? I told you to go somewhere else and you went! What are you doing here? Besides, you are a grown man, not a sissy, what do you want the Phoenix Blood Stone for?"
The woman's voice was not deliberately lowered, so almost everyone on the fourth floor heard it, and they all glanced over in confusion. When they saw that it was Wu Tian and the others, the doubts on their faces disappeared, replaced by a playful look.
"What's going on?"
A young man at the counter next to the woman shouted, strode over, stood next to the woman, looked at Wu Tian and the other two with disgust, frowned and said: "What are you going to do? Do you want to bully a weak woman?"
"Oh! The bad guy is complaining first."
Cang Zheng was amused and said lightly: "I just want to buy this Phoenix Blood Stone, but your companion blocked me and spoke rudely. Tell me, is she making things difficult for me, or am I making things difficult for her? Or is it that you have too much essence in the trading pavilion and don't plan to do business anymore?"
"I see." The young man suddenly realized, nodded to the woman, indicating that he was relieved, and then looked at Cang Zheng and said arrogantly: "So what? You have so much essence? We won't sell the Phoenix Blood Stone to you even if you throw it away. Get out of here quickly, don't be an eyesore here and hinder everyone's business."
