C40 Solitary entering the mansion
Coming?
Li Ruoqiu muttered. He looked towards where Jiang Feng was looking, but he did not see anyone, he suspected that Jiang Feng was deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, just a few breaths later, a figure could be seen flying through the air. He was clad in black iron armor.
"Warriors of the Crimson Blood Army!"
Li Ruoqiu's eyes glimmered. The Scarlet Blood Legion was an army forged by Zhao Qiankun, they only had a meagre five hundred people, but these five hundred people were all above the seventh level of the Life Image Realm. After undergoing brutal training, they had a heart of steel, and their battle prowess was exceptionally valiant.
"Where's Jiang Feng?" The man asked coldly.
"What is it?" Jiang Feng stood on top of the Nine Layer Palace and looked straight at his opponent.
"City lord, if you are invited, please come immediately," the soldier said coldly.
The corner of Jiang Feng's mouth curved into a sneer as he looked into the distance.
The current Li Ruoqiu had a face full of shock.
Being told the truth by Jiang Feng, if Zhao Qiankun really came to look for him, wouldn't that mean that what Jiang Feng said was true?
"Take me with you!" Jiang Feng secretly used astrology to send a sound transmission to Li Ruoqiu, then he followed the Crimson Blood Legion and flew to the City Lord's Mansion.
After receiving Jiang Feng's sound transmission, Li Ruoqiu's eyes revealed a pondering expression, and then he quietly followed.
Li Ruoqiu had believed most of what Jiang Feng had said, and now that Zhao Qiankun was going to look for him, there was a possibility that there would be danger.
...
The City Lord's Mansion was located in the center of Tian Luo Ancient City. It covered an extremely large area and was heavily guarded.
Following the members of the Scarlet Blood Legion into the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Feng swept his eyes across the surroundings and realized that there were many people hiding in the darkness.
"Zhao Qiankun's cultivation has not reached the concealment yet. If we were to fight, with the hundreds of beasts in Tian Luo Ancient City, he should be able to fight." Jiang Feng touched the storage ring on his hand, and the terrifying gigantic demon hand. If he was forced into a corner, using it should be enough for Zhao Qiankun to deal with.
Furthermore …
Jiang Feng looked far behind him from the corner of his eyes. A figure was following closely behind.
"He probably believes more than half of what I say. If Zhao Qiankun were to take action, with the name of betrayal, before the Wind Nation attacks, he can kill him."
Jiang Feng was led all the way to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Mayor, we have arrived!"
Jiang Feng raised his head to look, only to see a tall and sturdy middle-aged man seated in the middle of the hall, emitting an extremely oppressive aura. The light of the sun and moon intersected repeatedly in his eyes, releasing an extremely bright light, as he sized Jiang Feng up from head to toe.
"Jiang Feng greets City Lord." Jiang Feng said coldly.
"You can leave." Zhao Qiankun said to the warrior as he walked down from the main hall.
"I heard that you just exterminated the Cang family. You really are a hero that came out of nowhere. Back then, your father was also extremely heroic, I admire him quite a bit."
"Mayor, you're too kind. May I know why you called me here?" Jiang Feng did not use this method, and directly asked.
"Don't worry, I didn't seek you out to seek revenge for Wu Chen. That unfilial son is too arrogant. He asked for it after he was killed." Now, Tian Luo Ancient City is facing the threat of attack from the Wind Nation, it's the time to hire people, I think that you can control so many demon beasts, perhaps you have obtained some sort of fortuitous opportunity at the Zephyr Gorge? If it is, we can subdue a few more demon beasts. "
Zhao Qiankun said with an ecstatic expression, but in reality, he was testing Jiang Feng.
"I didn't manage to find any lucky chances, but I managed to uncover some secrets." Jiang Feng stared at Zhao Qiankun and revealed a meaningful smile.
"Oh? "What secret have you discovered?" Zhao Qiankun's expression changed slightly as he spoke to Jiang Feng. Why did he seem to not follow conventional wisdom?
"I accidentally entered the Demon God Mountain and met two cultivators. These two cultivators came from the Wind Nation and were killed by me. I obtained some secrets from their mouths. Jiang Feng stared at Zhao Qiankun, and when she saw his expression, she changed slightly.
"How would I know the secret that you obtained from the cultivators of Wind Nation?" Zhao Qiankun said indifferently.
"Let's see how long you can keep pretending." Jiang Feng laughed coldly to himself.
Since City Lord Zhao does not know, then I might as well tell you this, the people of Wind Nation have told me that you have pledged your allegiance to them, and have asked the Principal to conduct the training, it is just that you want to separate us, if I am not wrong, you have already received the news, I will kill those two, if not, the people of Wind Nation would have already attacked.
"You already know all about it?" Zhao Qiankun did not erupt in rage like he had imagined, nor did he try to defend himself, but instead asked a question with a deep meaning.
"Yes sir!" Jiang Feng nodded his head. Since Zhao Qiankun had asked, he would think it through first. However, since Jiang Feng dared to come, he was prepared.
"So what if you know? Do you think that someone will believe the words of a child?" Zhao Qiankun laughed coldly, his expression extremely indifferent. Jiang Feng was powerful, but if he was to play tricks, how could he be Zhao Qiankun's opponent?
In the Tian Luo Ancient City, what kind of prestige did he, Zhao Qiankun, have? Even if a group of people were beaten to death, they would not believe it.
"Of course I know there's no evidence so no one will believe me. Therefore, in order to make Li Ruoqiu believe me, I specifically waited for you at the Academy to come find me. The moment you sent people over, it was already enough to prove what I had said." Jiang Feng laughed indifferently.
Zhao Qiankun's expression immediately changed. This brat actually predicted that he would come looking for him, and before that, Jiang Feng must have told Li Ruoqiu something. In this way, he had revealed the truth of his words, proving what Jiang Feng had said.
"Damn it!" Zhao Qiankun was so angry that he could no longer remain calm.
"Since you were the one who killed the Wind Nation's people, then I will kill you now! So what if the Tian Luo Ancient City knows about my betrayal, the disciples of the Star River Academy are all at the Zephyr Gorge and can't return in three days, with the current cultivators of the Tian Luo Ancient City, who would be able to kill me, let alone face the attacks of the Wind Nation!"
Since it was exposed, there was nothing left to hide. Since he had dragged things this far, it would be very difficult to change the situation.
His current goal was only to listen to Wind Nation and find the person who killed the two cultivators. Since he was sure it was Jiang Feng, there was nothing to worry about.
Now, all he had to do was kill Jiang Feng, and then, in one go, seal Tian Luo Ancient City's escape route.
"Men, kill him!"
Zhao Qiankun shouted coldly. Dozens of armored warriors gathered outside the hall, all of them being members of the Scarlet Blood Legion. They followed Zhao Qiankun's orders.
"You have guarded the border for dozens of years and now, you have chosen to rely on the enemy nation. Are you sure you, Zhao Qiankun, want to do this alone?" Although he was surrounded, Jiang Feng was not afraid.
This is not submitting, this is just cooperation. I have worked hard for the Rain Country to this day, other than giving me a title, what other substantial benefits have he given me? I want strength, not just the power to control a small city! " Zhao Qiankun shouted excitedly.
"However, you must know that you have to pay a price for this decision!" Jiang Feng said with incomparable calmness.
"Price?" Haha, what a joke, you, a mere little brat, actually dare to make me pay the price, let's see what kind of strength you have! "
After Zhao Qiankun finished speaking, he looked towards the group of Blood Red Warriors.
"Go, kill him!"
In that moment, dozens of warriors at and above the seventh level of the Image of Fate Realm all took out their broadswords and rushed towards Jiang Feng.
